Volume 2 Trailer Design, July 10, 2007
By Jumbo from Emporium, PA

"A very well written book. Was really impressed on the time that was spent looking at the project from the welders side. A good book for every welder want-a-be!"

Fairly Decent, January 18, 2007
By JFoster from Kentwood, La

"More useful than volume one. It is technical but the author explains the technical aspects well enough. It helps you to consider how the load and other forces affect the trailer and how that should impact your design and material choice. Overall, if you just want a simply trailer, then buy a set of plans. If you have need for a special type of trailer, then find someone else to build it for you, use the time it would take to learn this stuff and apply it somewhere else, unless of course you intend on building trailers for a living."
