I recommend bending the tubing prior and sell at a mark-up for the shop. Get commercial hitches to minimize liability. I have a source for the hitches can get later, am at the coop right now.<div><br></div><div>Ron<br><br>

<div>I built a trailer with a tubing bender and a drill. I needed bolts to go through the tubes instead of using welds. It can hold 400 pounds easily and 500 is a bit dangerious,, almost impossible to stop the thing with that much weigh. I made it more the size of a micro car and put a slow sign on the back. </div>

Subject: [TheThinkTank] Bike Trailer &amp; teaching skills workshops<br>
<br>


<div>Hey folks<br>
Geoff from Bike Dump &amp; The WRENCH up here in Winnipeg.<br>
<br>
We&#39;re organizing a summer workshop series and 2 of the requested topics are trailers and teaching skills for in the shop.  So I was wondering if anyone had done workshops on these topics and could share their materials/experience.<br>

<br>
Is it even really feasible to do a trailer workshop in one day given that most designs involve substantial cutting, welding, etc?<br>
<br>
Also, does anyone have notes from the &quot;HOW TO TEACH HANDS OFF&quot;  Workshop at last year&#39;s Bikebike?  it ain&#39;t up on the wiki sadly.<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Geoff<br>
