Yeah it's a built by Cobra a Quebec company it's their quad dump trailer. They make some pretty nice trailers.

OK so a few weeks have gone by with other projects finally seeing completion but this one has been falling short on the love meter. In an effort to keep a promise I made to have this ready by spring I need to get back on track and focus! Stupid groundhog calling for an early spring....

Anyway, when the request was made to add boards on the top rails that meant I needed to either trim the pieces down I had already made on make new. I opted to make new parts and save the others for a future build. The new pieces are 5/8" lower than before so that when the board is installed we will end up with the same height as the first setup. Here's what I got done today. Not a lot but it's a start.

use to watch that as a kid every day

Haha, that's what I looked like yesterday after sawing those planks!

I was doing some experimenting late yesterday in an effort to make ladders resembling those on the 1:1. It would be very difficult to mount such small pieces individually so I thought I would machine them out of one piece. This is the first attempt...





I decided that it might be worth a try to remove about half of the material holding the rungs together. I put the ladder back in the vice but at the end of my cut the cutter caught it...




I guess I will be making a jig to hold them tight before I try this again...

When you get a chance to check this out Brandon, would you mind letting me know what you think? If you like them do you want two at the front or one on all four corners?
