Sold: Rare early Canadian 20-cwt trailer

[Bob Carriere]

When I moved to Ottawa I was heavily involved in woodworking, basket making by Joyce, wood turning, .....

but I modified my new location to focus on metal working.......

Wood means getting all reorganized to work with wood..... hand tools and power tools........ remembering old skills and tricks...... start collecting wood related items and collecting good wood.......
'
Then you need to plan for a sheltered storage of the trailer partly or fully finished for the rain and snow months......

Other option is to do an original repro using the proper frame and nice air-dried ash boards......... and keep it for show/parades
....and.......

Build a separate all steel trailer using another excellent larger :generator/or compressor trailer frame....... might make it to look "military" but serve as a camping vehicle for remote wilderness camping....

....... any suggestions on how I can live for another 45 years so I can break even with all my projects????

Bob, before you get too carried away with the love of all things metal, consider that you haven't had anyone offer photos of a steel bodied trailer to match the detailed set of photos Hanno has shared of this wood bodied trailer.
For the construction, think about how you would make the corrugated panels and the fan shaped stiffening ribs on the headboard. All I'm saying is that both versions have challenges, just different...

Bob, if you do absolutely nothing for the next 5 years, it will feel like 45 years. You could spend the time counting these kangaroos?

Do they collect Lawnmowers, too?
