I don't know if this trailer is worth saving.
What happens here
After structural repairs, new wooden decking needs to be installed. The video shows new, light-colored oak boards being laid onto the repaired frame. The narrator explains that finding 2.5-inch thick 'true measurement' oak is difficult, so he sourced a giant oak tree and milled the wood himself. He used five new boards in high-wear areas, combining them with some of the best old boards. A circular saw is used for precise cuts.
Goal: Install new oak boards to create a sturdy and safe trailer deck.
