The Camping Bike Trailer Part 2... HOW do we do THAT?!

In this part 2 video we sort of make some progress, then we don't, then we do, then we cut some metal, and grind some things and then the video ends. Of course there's quite a lot of idle chat too, about the state of the world and things, but if we didn't have the Part 2 video then we can't have a Part 3 video, so join us for a journey as we try to work out how to do the thing we are trying to do.

Huge thanks to RobM for the help with this video.

Rod Holder famously played Saxophone on Baker Street. True fact.

"I looked up" is a great album by The incredible string band. 1960's Psych folk.

Weld a bit of flat bar to the top of the upright to form a T piece and clamp the aluminium tubing to the upright with a U bolt. (Or instead of some flat bar and U bolt, utilise an exhaust clamp - much the same thing).

As a follow up to my previous suggestion with regards to welding a T piece (with U bolt) or an exhaust clamp to the top of the upright. To avoid any welding or if you don't like the idea of having a T piece welded to the top of the upright, you could drill a couple of horizontal holes and use a U bolt to clamp the aluminium tubing to the side of the upright.

"Don't Look Up" a great film about the end of the World.

When you move to your floating island take a CB with you so you can say " 10-4 rubber duck" hehe.

Nothing like filling an aperture, Geoff.

Yeah, land/sand yachts are cool. Live 5 mins drive from St.Annes North Beach where a club was instigated in 1951, tried it a few times on open days, sadly racing banned for 10 years after in 2002 a dog walker tragically got killed walking across the path of a live race, pilot of the yacht cleared of blame, wind sports back racing again, European Mini Championships held there Oct'23. Surf board on 3 wheels is similar to the 'mini class'! Trailer - How about a plug in the top tube, then drill up and insert the vertical tube and hold together using 2 part constructional epoxy, like used for threaded bars into walls to bolt beams onto?. No external fastenings...🤔🤞🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Cap each upright by welding a flat rectangular bar that sticks out either side length ways with a hole/holes in each side.
Drill & tap corresponding holes in the horizontal bar & bolt through, or insert wooden dowels in the horizontal bar & use wood screws or bolts into threaded inserts in the dowel, or both. That way you could still use the ally pipe.
If you extended the upright all the way down & bolt through it & the spacer at the same time to fix to the trailer, it would all be easily removable. Won't be as sturdy as welding though so maybe another bolt &/or a flat bar inside the trailer like a long washer to stiffen the side & stop the bolts pulling through

Scallop joint the upright for the tube to sit in, bolt and spacer to stop the crush.

Aluminium is fine for conducting electricity. Between 1950 and 1980 most houses used aluminium in the wiring.

Perhaps you can make a nice 'Cyclekart' ?

[dannydee]

It's slightly off topic, I've been watching some old Macmaster videos, have you seen his live shows doing dangerous stuff they are so funny. Please get Lee in the Land yacht

Wish I’d know about this channel bro,

[mistermoptser]

Absolutely brilliant. Completely unscripted. Tell me again why I have to pay a TV licence when we have good stuff like this?

[AlexLancashirePersonalView]

I was going to suggest the hole in the tube and then stopped typing it.

[seanbroadbent]

Give me a shout geoff I will teach you both how to aluminium tig weld.😊

Didn't rod holder fall of a roof adjusting a tv aerial.😮
