Love it. I know nothing about vintage trailers but I think the laminated bender board trailer side frames is brilliant.

What did you use for glue? EDIT: Nevermind. I went back and looked at the photos and saw a gallon bottle of what appears to be ordinary wood glue.

Are the pine main frames attached to the laminated "hoops" (for lack of a better term) using a biscuit joiner? Then the flat plywood sheets fastened to the frames with what? screws, dowels or just glued and clamped?

Also, what is the finish - if any - on the interior wood?
