Nice..but a bit..light duty isnt it?

I'm wondering about lateral stability.
It might want to fold to the left or right.

I've worried about that a bit too so I plan to shim all the joints and to add gussetts as needed. Time will tell. And FWIW the heaviest load I plan to use it for is only about 200 lbs; beyond that I've always got the loader bucket and a pair of forks I can add.
