i don't do woodworking, i don't weld, i don't have sawmill. yet i always look forward to your videos, for some reason they make my day. thanks so much for sharing them.
From wood to metal Matt does it all seamlessly. Well done and entertaining to the non-triggered. We all enjoy tapping holes Matt. You are just like the rest of us, fascinating 'work'
I think it's awesome the way you seamlessly work your different sponsors into your video. The way you continue to work on your project while demonstrating the attributes of the product makes your videos flow flawlessly. It's too bad more you tubers don't follow your lead.
@@mcremona Good point. I guess the devil is in the details and who you choose to align yourself with. Some people who you are very familiar with feel the need to hawk every screw, nail and tool used to affix said screws and nails. I guess that's why I stopped watching them and watch you. Thanks for the reply my friend. Stay safe and thanks for doing what you do.
There is no way you can be just a hobbyist! You seriously have my dream Machinist / welding shop all built into one! I am fabricating a mini size trailer (RC trailer). I welded my fenders with 1/4" steel and just welded the 22mm sheet metal on top. I just need to tac weld the inner panel and clean it up. Then paint that 👶! Next part I am doing the tongue section next. I can't believe it sucks up so much time. It's a challenge getting an 8" and 4 1/2" 1/4" square steel bar to not left up by the little magnets and get that clean 45 degree angle to be as close to perfect. Anyways, getting some cool ideas for finishing touches. Thanks for the video!
I don't think I've ever seen so much nice equipment in such a small home garage,this equipment is better stuff than I have seen in most commercial industrial shops. Kind of amazing. I'm jealous.
Good evening from off the grid in the great southwest. I really like the fabrication work. I laugh at the same things. For example, your tape is long your ready to mark your piece and the wind blows your tape off. Lol so you walk back out the tape back on get to the other end and guess what, your walking back again. Too funny. Now on a more serious note, the video on making your rotisserie, where can I find it I really need to make one. I do small single axle trailers, 8 to 12 feet long. And a rotisserie would be the cats meow. And I really like the one you made. Thanks again,
Good idea to make the fenders bolt-on. if you ever carry a load that's wider than the fenders, you can take them off and the extra few inches will be welcome. At this time, you might not think you will need it, but maybe some day you will want to tow a car and open the doors or something like that.
Thanks for this build series. I’ve learned a lot so far about taking into account those things we rarely think about while in the build. You know, the decisions that have unintended consequences that force us to make adjustments to the built. Your design is far more complete than mine have been, and this shows me to “ring out” the design on paper to a greater degree. That will help avoid the “flying by the seat of my pants” errors that have troubled some of my fabs. Thanks for the great channel. I almost wish I lived closer, so I could get my hands on some of the stunning lumber you mill. I’m well out in the Northwest. We’ve plenty of mills and a surprising number of urban and suburban recovery mills. But most I’ve seen don’t understand the material and don’t make the thoughtful choices you seem to make just before cutting. I know it’s still somewhat of a crapshoot. But any experienced wood cutter knows how to lay a crotch for maximum effect. That said. Nice work!
Matthew Sir, WOW So Very Nice !! You wouldn't think that you work with Wood.. The way you are Making the Trailer wow you know what you are doing !! So Nice... Liked the Tap Hole Joke , You had caught me off Guard !! Loved it !! Think you might need a Bigger Yard ? Thank You for your Time !!
I just replaced a fender on my trailer and I put antiseize on all my tapped holes bolts.Great if you need to remove and change something in the future it will come apart. Food for thought Matt.great build!
Very nice job indeed and well planned out looking very good.you are correct that the wheel arch frame will trap water and to leave a gap would trap muck and water I used black ( depends on colour ) steel silicon then bolted to frame like you have never had any problem with it looking forward to your next trailer build.😀😀🇬🇧
Matty I'm not easily impressed but your videos are impressive. Your math, stick welding and general knowledge great. Tell Lindsey I agree tires are to expensive. I didn't know Minnesota had any conservative folks up there. Lol I'm from Northern Illinois but been in Mesa Arizona since 1996 and love it but spend my summers at my summer home off the Rock River. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK KID.
That’s a wicked Magdrill you have. I wasn’t aware that they had Battery powered for such a heavy duty drill like that. The lights are a great idea for the trailer. Everything looks great and heavy duty.
I love the way you over engineer your trailer, l do the same. Please keep the videos coming you do them so well and we all learn a bit. Also keep you and your family safe dueing this bad time all over the world.
Good job Matthew, I wish you had built it just a little bit stronger 😉🤗. 👍👍 Nothing wrong with your engineering job on just what you want and need. The hauler should be handed down in lots of years ! Can’t wait to see it on its first haul. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Matt, I got quick a kick out of your metric "slam", lol. Being a Canadian and ardunt metric fan, I'm always enjoying everyones' unique perspectives on the topic. Always humorous!! Cheers, from Canada.
Very nice details on everything, even I overlook certain things most of time just because I know how much extra time stuff like that takes. Super cool👍🏼
1/12th ft. Very useful figure. 1/2, 1/4,1/8, 1/16, 1/32 of an inch we all know. But fractions of a foot? Love it. 1/24th, 1/48th, 1/96th, 1/192nd and 1/384th of feet. I’m totally using these. 😜 tooootally easier than metric.
@@mcremona Understood. Just give the ways and screws a good coating and move them up and down a few times. You can do a lot of damage fast if there isn't any lubrication. Thanks again for the videos.
What can I say? You just keep doing it right, you wiill be happy later when you run into big stuff that would bend any other trailer and it does no damage. Over build is GOOD.
You might want to put a hitch on the front of your truck. I have a yard about your size and I'm always shifting my trailers around depending what activity I have planned.
Hi Matt love your work you give loads of ideas. Just a point about numbers whether its metric or imperial zero is zero, half more than nothing is nothing. Cheers
I glad you have gotten back on this trailer build. I do wish you would give us a build list of all the material and items you are using. You at good wielder and doing a great job. I like to way you mind works on these projects that you show us. So Thank You for doing these great videos
Yes - milling machine action!! Next time you drill a stack of plates like that, try using an index card or a few sheets of paper front and back to take up any tiny discrepancy in the widths of those pieces.
I thought I had a few tools,..man, you have no shortage of metal working tools there, I wish I had a mag. base drill like that one,..they're a 'godsend' aren't they? I welded my trailers fenders on,..I should have bolted them in place,...make's it a lot easier if and when you mash one!
Excellent video! I have always like your stuff. You MAY want to put a little brace, down low at the front and rear of the fender that would help keep the fenders from vibrating Road vibration will crack anything over time. Just little tabs for support.
If you haven’t mounted your plate yet. Use a piano hinge. We’ve mounted them that way in the past. They can “bend” out of the way if they catch something.
Hello hello! Thanks for the update on the trailer - tis lovely. Was wondering what - ah, was going to ask what tap you use, but then you had to go and link it in the description. thanks. Rock on!
Loving the trailer series build and one thing about the fenders and the water issues is use the same stuff you would put in the bed of a pick up truck I can’t remember the name of that stuff but it works grate for sealing joints, can’t wait to see the finished result
That's an awesome trailer! Enjoying getting to watch you build it. Only concern i have is all the rust it's going to have before you get to the paint video.
im thinking your threaded bolt holes will rust in time, and you'll end up tapping new ones, or replacing them with nut and bolt assembly. Maybe going with nuts and bolts in the first place might be good? Also thinking when you drop a log onto the fenders, theyll take a hit, go with bigger beastier bolts?
