On vaycay from the north country I built this trailer for my friend Roody, with his assistance. Check out the blog for more details: http://blackshipcrafts.blogspot.comhttp://blackshipcrafts.blogspot.com/2012/02/building-first-black-ship-barge-trailer.html I'm not a big fan of the paint job (he has to live with it) but it is temporary anyway.  Next, I'm building him a lugged frame to tour up the East Coast. stay tuned...

Nice! What kind of tubing did you use? Or, how much does it weigh?

Ha! Thanks for asking!
Just straight gauge generic tubing. actually used an older U shaped trailer (weird, huh?), a steel tubed glass top table frame, and two forks!
It's super light, barely notice it behind you.
Once I get back to MPLS and get my shop set up i'll be able to make'em out of fresh tubes and good quality re-cycled stuff. I've made a couple (still have a 5yr old) solely out of junk frames (broken drop outs, bent down tubes, etc)
