I've never found leakage rate that varied with load. Think about 50 psi inside the entire carcass vs adding 250 lbs of load to the tire.

I got tired of questioning the accuracy of tire pressure gauges and picked up a calibrated gauge check station. It lives in a temperature controlled environment and doesn't get much use so I don't bother getting the station recalibrated. As expected some of the gauges were off. It also works to check screw on TPMS sensors for my wifes car.JOES Pro Tire Gauge - JOES Racing Products

I've been happy with this one for general purpose use. Backlighting and LCD display help a lot with my poor night vision and let me use it without reading glasses.

Flatbed trailer with 9 foot sailing dinghy and electric motor $350
Ok, you get a lot for your money there but there are no stays hold that mast up. Get it in a decent breeze and I'd expect the mast to collapse.Log into Facebook

Done...as in you bought in? Good stuff!
Any problem getting the end onto the valve stem? Sometimes space is so tight especially with cast rims.
Am I doing this right?
I bought this at Lowes for $1300 a few years ago. I can't believe it's now $1900.
It was the only small trailer I could find with a 2X6's for a wood floor. Others have that cheep mesh S**t.
I added an articulated wheel chock, six floor tiedown points, spare wheel and bearing buddies.
I also built up the sides and front with 2ft plywood strips.
Works great for dump runs too.
Why bearing buddies on a trailer that doesn't get dunked? They can't hurt, I just don't understand why they provide a big benefit over periodic grease in the zerc.
In my 41 years in the trades I've seen all kinds of horrors. Bearing buddies a cheep at princess auto and get lubed prior to any use. Grease is also cheep. Changing bearings on the side of a road is no fun.
I would say it all looks good.
Minor observation.
Use some tie straps to secure the trailer lights cable a little more. Just so you don't have some much excess hanging around.
Maybe get a different set of straps. Same reason. You don't want to have so much excess to deal with.
Maybe snap a picture of how/where the straps are secured on the forks.
You do not want any pressure on any critical parts.
Also, looking at your first picture. I noticed that your safety chains are NOT crossed.
I have always been told that it needs to be done and that its actually a law. Never looked into the law part but have always followed the advise.
Here is an explanation.

I think that's good.
You can also look into getting a Canyon Dancer strap.
That's the theoretical reason but when both chains start from the same point, the odds that the cradle works are astronomically low. I still cross them as it doesn't hurt but I hold little faith they will catch the tongue.
The safety "chains" I had on the tornado was a few pieces of rope that I would tie to the car. Eeek. I didn't really like it but it didn't move all that often so I never bothered making a better system.
They’re not crossed. Looped around the hitch and hooked onto themselves.
