First off let me say i've subscribed for future referencing.

My question is about the frameing. You welded (2) 2 ft crossmembers to the center. Is that stronger than cutting 2 notches 1/2 the size of the tubes deep into each the crossmember and the center piece and weld them together like logs in a loghouse's corner? If I've asked it correctly.

I ended up filling in the void with two straps and welding them in,... a bit quicker than taking the time to notch out the Tube I guess.. Is it stronger? Not sure but in the end it ended out with the same apperance!

Well lets just say 2 years ago I started this proj with high hopes of finishing it sooner than has happened.. Work and family needs have taken priority over Fun but I think were back in the game to get it done now! So here are some updated Pictures.. Sorry for the time laps!

Here we go!

Here's some updates on Damons Build.

I needed a couple hitches for these Trailer so I built these!
I introduce the Lead Dog "DOGBONE" multi axis hitch.
