• Are you an engineering student who needs to do a project? Would you be interested in designing and building a cargo trailer for my bicycle so I can drag a table around behind me and not have to take public transport to see clients? Do you want to do it for little or no money? Awesome! I'd love to take you up on it!

    I've seen various cargo trailers out there but none are the right size for a massage table or are prohibitively expensive since I'm still just starting up the business. If we need to talk cash for materials, let me know, but I can also trade skillz for skillz! I love barter, it is awesome.

    Please PM to let me know if you're interested.

    Thanks!

  • nobody? c'mon, no one who builds stuff wants to figure out how to do this? : (

  • I could probably design one, building it is a different matter.

  • ^with wings? :D

  • i could... potentially. but i wouldnt be able to start it till september.

  • That would be fine, whoever wants to do it, I can't afford to pay for the design so I'm relying on people who would want to make something like this for a uni project.

  • Missed this--that would be so cool if this happened. Another bump.

  • I was working on this putting the hand drawn design into a CAD model a while ago:

    Although I sent him some of the CAD files and he never got back to me so I stopped doing it. Not sure where it is now but if you get in touch with him I'm sure he would sell you a copy for a few quid or give it away free. I think I've lost my copy but I'll have a look. This design could be made around the size of a massage table easily as its very versatile. Its reasonably easy to make and will be light as well. It would probably have to be looked after well though as any homemade ish design will be hard to make straight and get tracking bang on which will make more problems the longer its used.

    If I was doing this for myself I would start with this and build a frame on top to hold the table

  • Jenne, speak to Scoble as well, he knows someone who is converting the kids trailer I have (and that he has in his garage) to something useful - he might be able to help

  • Oh, thanks, Claire, I forgot about that. I'll have to talk to him at some point but I'm too tired to go into specifics right now. I can barely answer emails! Ridonk.
