Nice job Chris, As far as i'm concerned I'm useless at it. I liken it to a black art!

thanks everyone...

will be rollers when done, its been copied to existing Dunbier that my boats on.
for a new one , i was quoted $4000 that was from the showgrounds at a display stand.not dunbier...think it was easy tow
i stopped counting what i was spending lol
gal dip was $500
trailer axle wheel set up somewhere around $800
steel less than $200
still easy less than half with new tools too...lol

mig welding is easy i think, was going to arc it all but the weld run is limited to the rod length..
welder was from total tools .8 wire i think , gas bottle and mig was a bit pricey...lol

ive done it over time and bought heaps of bits twice, just coz im a man and dont need to write things down...lol

was going to use most parts off existing trailer and just do a new frame... but its hard to know when to stop...
