Bolting a trailer and welding?
I am just thinking here about that trailer. I may never build it but
if I did get materials and did try to make it out of that 2x2 or 2x3 square tubing, what if I mafe a triangle gusset for each corner on the bottom. Drilled through the top tubing through the gusset, then installed a grade 5 carriage bolt or something. Then welded the whole thing also? I guess I am trying to "over engineer' it. I can weld, but have never had training. I have never had anything really come apart that I have welded, but on something like a trailer, I would like to take every precaution I could. |
