You could buid my wife a side-board table thingy for the dining room. She asked me to do it but I got no skills nor do I know what one is.

You could build me a cherry finished wine glass holder that hangs from the ceiling if you like.

If you're interested, I have some plans or should I say hand drawn sketches available. Just let me know how much and I'll pay you for it.

Yup, I thought it was kinda neat. The only issues I have is the guy said he mounted the axle directly to the plywood floor and also the tongue is "screwed" to plywood. I could not comfortably tow something like that. But it would be easy enough to find a "cheap" trailer frame which to build onto. Let me know if you try it, I'd like to see detailed pics of the process.
