Hey, thanks for including mine! ;)
On that page is a link to a larger trailer using the same concept,
and it has full build photos.
The only thing is the size of this trailer showed the limitations of
the design, as between the long side rails and the thin axle plates
some flex occurs. Normally on a trailer I like to cant the wheels
inwards a bit for stability, but if you do that on one this long and
load it up then things flex and the tires rub the cargo box. But the
good thing is that since the trailer is so wide it's darn stable and
so the canting is not really needed.
