Making a Bicycle Trailer

Make my dream come true:
  / andreaarzensek  

I (finally) built a super awesome bicycle trailer.
I'm very happy with this trailer design; it's strong, light and very cheap to make!
I used red cedar and Guanacaste but you can use any wood for the whole trailer as long as you put on adequate protection, for example - mahogany would be nice (but it's heavier).
Some woods are more rot resistant than the others but common pine (widely available) should serve you just fine.
Avoid knots and cross wood grain!

The trailer dimensions: base 70x70cm (square) and the box is L70 W45 H40.
For the base use 2 cm thick material and for the box you can go as thin as you want to (mine is 1 cm thick material).
