how did you make the axels for low boy travis? They look like a great affordable option.
All the trailers look great guys, very inspiring I wish I had more time to build.

They are delrin tube with a thin brass tube inside and an aluminum axle shaft for the bearings in the wheels to run on. For the rims I driled out some plastic hex hubs and inserted a flanged bearing and drilled out the out side rim to hold another flanged bearing so each set of rims has two bearings an outer and inner. I then threaded the aluminum axle for 3 mm screws to hod the wheels on. I will post some pics in a minuite.
