QUICK TIP: If you don't have a big press, or a friend with a mechanics shop, you can put the axle in the freezer for a few hours & just before you assemble it, heat up the copper & then hammer it together. Also, while youre waiting on the axlw to freeze, you can measure & drill a hole in a block of wood to fit the axle into, then hammer on that.
@@rc.terminator We're here to help each other. This it a great hack, & I'm glad you made this video. Also, I love that trailer. The stretched metal decking is frikkin' awesome.
I'm late to the party and love the video but do you think it'd be possible to use a larger diameter piece of copper that can slide over the axle stub cut-offs that is then secured with a screw or two?

Great tip. I really need to build a trailer
No problem buddy this is my fourth one now I have used this trick on my last one and it handled 11 1/2 lbs
Nice work, You could prob split the tube and use a hose clamp if you had to, it just wouldn't look as clean.
Yea it may work but you are right wouldn’t look right brother
