Here is a picture of a trailer i built from scratch, while i was letting the camaro rest from all her surgery... It uses C5x9 channel and 6k axles. Should be good for 12k pounds, but i may have over-enginerded because it weighs in a 2400 pounds, haha!! But it was a fun project to say the very least! And i got some good stick welding and mig welding practice while building it!! The pics only show it after it was all framed up, but here is to your viewing pleasure!
Here are some pics of some vertical-up welding i did. I was pretty proud of how they turned out! Do you think i have enough weld metal in there though? haha, just joking, i used heavy C-Channel so i had to make multiple passes on all the welds. I cleaned the metal on each weld before making the next pass, and then i put doubler plates on all the welds for the main frame and cut holes for plugs welds, so i am pretty confident i wont be cracking any welds on it anytime soon!
