Kinda cool and sprinkly here today......got in 5 hrs on site....was going to put in 3 or more at the shop building a full view mahogany exterior door...about an hour and a half in I found that one of my door rails had a bad fracture nearly all the way across the board, clear through to the other side with fracture looking the same......wasn't able to see it in the rough but saw it as soon as one side was cleaned up. Hoped it would plane out as I had to take it down a half inch, but when the other side cleaned up there it was.......looks like it happened when the tree was felled.....musta landed over a rock or something.....odd break.......bummah!!!
 
I hear ya Rob, all the technology has changed for the pict transfer compatibility between the hosting sites and the receiving ends like these sites. Nothing works for me any more and I doubt I want to spend the time learning new techniques required to make it work.

Nope, no more pix from me, nothing works so its only typed messages from now on. The picts show up fine for me so there is missing info somewhere between the hosting site and the site on AS, nothing more I can do from here.
 
I made a decision on a trailer. I'm building my own with the help of a friend who runs a small fab shop on the side. I picked up a set of very lightly used axles last night complete with springs and brakes on both.

Here's what I'm building.

18'x82" flatbed/car hauler/utility
Dexter EX-Lube 3500 GVW 4" drop axles to keep center of gravity down.
95" between hub faces, 80" between spring centers. I'm hoping to squeeze an 82" deck out of that.
Brakes on both axles.
5" 6.7# C channel frame and tongue
3" 4.1# C channel crossmembers on 16" centers
Stake pockets for removable wood sides
Pull out ramps
CURT 10K A-frame coupler 2 5/16" ball
CURT square tube 8K, drop leg, pipe-mounted jack
Teardrop fenders
Break-away kit, LED indicator
70G safety chains
LED lights, rear lights in metal boxes
7-wire plug and 7 gang junction box
225/75R15 10-ply radial tires
2x12 treated deck

It'll be similar to this trailer only heavier built.

You guys have given me good advise, so here is another question.

Most of the trailers I see have an A-frame tongue that starts in front of the axles and runs under the main frame of the trailer. I have seen a few where the tongue is an extension of the frame rails. I would like this option in order to mainframe ground clearance with the drop axles. Would I need to step up to C5 9# channel on the frame side rails since the tongue wouldn't be doubled under the frame?
 
Got nothing to post about, no saw work currently. Days are short on daylight so have to work extra hard to get an outside days work done, little time or interest in building saws right now, been quite wet for cutting.
