... I made some improvements on my trailer. Since the grease trick (to make the table slide easy) picked up a lot of road grime, and my tire blew out and ruined the one wheel, I took the old axle and one wheel left and converted it as the actual turntable, and the (new) frame is attached to it, thus the wheel bearing takes most of the load on the swivel part.

Here's some pictures of the final product:

This is the tool box I installed, hidden away in under the turntable.

After grinding any rough edges, it turns nice and easy, now.

Some shots to show the turntable wheel and the front locking part.

I balanced the tilt part for little effort. On the right is the basic leftover wheel hub.

I made the wheel hub movable in case I need to move the balancing point. The right is the leaf spring, part of the car axle.

This a topless view of the main frame, and the tool box in the making.

On the right is my near little slick spare tire holder. Again hidden out of the way, but available if the time comes.

Some early shots of the construction.........

Here's how I did the wheel hub turntable mounting.........

The wheel is recessed so the plywood will clear..........and the finished product !
