Crazy, eh? I've been designing the utility trailer that I'm going to use my Dexter "surplus" axle for. It'll be a good winter project. Tony

What are they doing about the wrong axle? T

Have they told you yet how they are going to get the bad axle back? T

An 11 pounder gets us through about 25 nights. That's with a Propex heater and a Partner stove. Do you really need 20 pounds? Tony

Criminy. This validates my habit of ordering direct from Dexter. T

I'll be curious if they actually do that. Let us know. T

It's fixed. Thanks again. Tony

Oooooops..... Thanks for pointing this out. I'll get it fixed today. Tony

I've had a fair amount of interest in DXF files instead of the SVG files I uploaded. I just did a test of a DXF file I converted over to make sure Inkscape didn't mess with the dimensions. Worked perfectly. The dados for the cross members are .72" in the design and when cut, they are still...

I've been working on CNC files based on last summer's build. Here's a great way to wear out a perfectly good pen while test driving a file: The files are limited to the skeleton pieces, exterior skins, hatch ends, galley lip, and roof blocking. Even though the profile is or a 126" long...

How will you paint under the gussets?

Everything has its place. T

I like Dexter Torflex axles. 4" of movement vs 2" with Timbrens, if I'm not mistaken. T

Isn't there a big difference in charging AGMs vs lithiums? This us over my pay-grade. T

Opoxy? is that a floor paint? T

I build my walls using the sandwiched method. The core is highly skeletonized CDX plywood. On the inside, it's sheathed with 1/8" Baltic birch and 1/4" underlayment plywood on the exterior. The voids are filled with foam board. The construction aids in strong joinery. And yes, fiberglass/epoxy...
