Trailer decision time.

So the question to RAS is: What are my best options? Anyone have any
good ideas on how to build a glider trailer for cheap? I could
probably make a 4 or 5 foot wide and 22 foot long trailer work. I
understand steel prices are pretty high nowdays. Is anyone building
their own trailers anymore or just buying factory built? Thanks!

I've made things shaped like trailers, but fortunately never a whole
trailer:

Buy yourself a nice 180 amp MIG welder and set it up for flux core (no
shielding gas) welding. I recommend the Hobart, not one of those cheap
Harbor Freight zot boxes. Get a good auto-darkening hood and a mask
for the particulates (lots of Manganese). You'll be making perfectly
serviceable welds inside a couple hours. Also get a cheap 14" chop saw
(HF will do for that). After that, copy any trailer you like.

Thanks, Bob K.
