Since building mine I've learned that you should have the axle located 60% of the total length back from the hitch to achieve proper balance.

If I ever decide to turn mine into a real trailer I think I'll build a frame from raw steel and buy a trailer axle. Other alternative is cut down an old camp trailer for its frame and trailer axle.

Most likely it will stay out back for occasional utility usage between my shop and back lot.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
