New bike trailer project

I work at Ikea, judging by my extracycle people proberly figured that lol, anyway Ikea sells this https://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/S29820433 if you look closely the underside of that table has a frame, that frame is a perfect trailer frame, though made of steel, but it's a basicly done trailer, add wheels and a hitch and whatever els you want, i'm adding wheels onto mine today so i'll post a pic of mine to show better view.

That looks sweet!

And it helps to have an employee discount too.

The wheels are to far back, mate. That trailer won't track right.
