DIY Trailer?

[corshamjim]

I see Aldi are selling an arc-welding kit:



and a hand truck:



... in their special buy on Thursday.  Got me thinking - could I weld a hitch on to the hand truck and make a useful trailer?

Without a bit of practice, you'd probably just blow holes in the barrow tubing.

If you have something small-wheeled like a Brommie, you could cut half the handle off and bolt a hitch onto the end.

Thanks.  I wasn't sure myself if I was serious, but I do have a Dahon D7 which would make a suitable tractor unit.     I'll see if my local college are doing any welding evening classes.  If so, might give it a go.

It's too narrow, it will up flip over on corners.

Good point.  The weather put me off going to Aldi on thursday, so I didn't get the hand truck in the end. Just as well..    thanks
