Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a trusty fabricator to knock up some wheel chocks on a trailer?
Basically, i want to put a chock on my trailer to hold the front wheel, something simple?

Last time I needed something like that, I made a trough out of three bits of wood glued and screwed together and cut two wedges held in place by “removable pins”. (Well, 6" nails pushed through pre drilled holes.)
Cost pennies, took, what, half an hour. O.K., an hour to get it just right and screwed to the trailer floor.
Cheers! Will try them 
Are the holes there, so i can bolt them to trailer
Cheers oldguy! Wanted something metal as the bike will be on the trailer, think metal be sturdier
What? So the best aircraft of WW2, the Mosquito, wasn’t sturdy? The first British (and world first) operational jet aircraft, the Gloster Meteor followed by whole bunch of other weren’t sturdy?
True, they only pulled 5G in slightly sub sonic flight but not bad for a few bits of wood.*
Porsche thought it good enough for an F1 car monocoque in the 60’s and it was. (The engine was rubbish which is why they didn’t do well, then the accountants stepped in and killed the project off.)
What is this obsession with metal? It’s commonly only strong in one dimension and quite vulnerable to impact damage.
Send me the dimensions, I’ll make you one in wood and if you can break it without a lot of trouble I’ll give you a fiver. If, you can’t, you give twenty quid to the London Air Ambulance to cover my time.
It’s just that i need to mount the wood on the metal frame and welding metal would be easier than trying to bolt the wood frame on.
The trailer is a frame type so trying to bolt/clamp it on just won’t be ideal.
But again, metal is still stronger, otherwise our bike frames would rot
O.K., I’m not saying that wood is ideal for every use and I for one would not trust a wooden bike frame. (Though purported “rot” is not the reasons why, more to do with flex and torsion.)
Your reasons why not seem a bit spurious but it’s your choice.
Saves me the effort of proving I’m right.
