    Have also thought about it with a 20-24' aluminum deck. I seem to either be running super heavy or super light stuff. Figure if the deck and frame weigh about 5K I could still haul about 25K on the bed in most of the country with a 4 axle truck. My empty weight with an aluminum trailer is 40K+ so I already can't haul most "full" flatbed loads of load boards.

    Saw this guy years ago in Vancouver, BC. Had a knuckle boom crane and a detach deck on at the same time. Seemed like a pretty cool setup. There's a fifth wheel under there.

    The lathe he turns the outside on is made somewhere around 1910, according to what google has to offer.

    The inside…? lol, he has a trough made as a guide, and slowly cuts the inside out with a chainsaw secured to a table, that’s how the bottom of the inside gets its concave shape, end of the bar….
