Abit late but for first time welding you have done well so much better then me remember when I was building my tray I kept blowing holes in the steel 🤦‍♂️

@biggles333999 Год назад

Your welding is MINT. Bloody good...even for a seasoned welder. Don't listen to the haters.

@kwikflikzyakadventures3795 Год назад

All the Best Grinder’s in the World are Welders!!! Great effort.

@adamj1299 Год назад

from a non welder non carpenter...looks fab..well done

@reddustadventures Год назад

Looking good to me. I’m not a Boily but have my own welder and built my own boat/RTT rack for our camper trailer and two years later after doing some heavy duty work including the Gibb River Road and plenty of trips around our home region here in the Pilbara and it’s still going strong. So I reckon yours will be more than good enough. Really enjoying watching this build series 👌👌

@cyclemoto8744 Год назад

Loving this series. I need as much welding inspiration to get my skills up for many projects. Keep it up. Thanks for the content, cheers

@OffTheBeatenPathAus Год назад

Enjoying this series already! Good on you for having a go welding. I've never done it either and struggle watching videos of guys laying perfect welds every time then saying just have a go it's not that hard. Nice to see someone genuinely learning on camera!

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Thanks mate. I found the same thing. Lots of professional welders getting around on RU-vid but sometimes ya wanna watch someone of your own skill level as well

@mickeydubya860 Год назад

Cracking job mate! I’ve done a lot of welding and specifically boat trailers, don’t stress about the puddle falling when doing the vertical welds, just follow all the way down and if you’re not too sure, do a double weld on it. I’m currently at the beginning of doing the same build, good luck.

@scottbeattie6645 Год назад

Great work and awesome ideas and inspiration. Looking forward to how it all progresses and then the final test out to the desert

@Pumped-koala Год назад

Not bad work for a first time welder, your trailer is going to amazing when you complete it. I’ve done the same and I love camping with mine knowing I built it not bought it like other’s. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍👍💯

@just_dave Год назад

Been hanging out for this episode Can’t wait for the next one 👍

@lukehutchinson6754 Год назад

Great work Steve, as good as it is to have people help out, as you say the best way of learning is by doing and if a couple of mistakes are made it will only give you more lessons learnt. I have had a dream of building a camper from the ground up for quite some time and think I need to put away some $$$'s and commit to trying. Cheers 🍻

@warreng3142 Год назад

been waiting for this bit, for your welding or up, the easiest way for a beginner is to spot weld it up or down (just like your tacks only just in front of each other 😎) do it on some test pieces really easy to do, you can even do it on flat welds if you are not confident enough as yet to run welds (yes I am a boilermaker) that's how I show people who want to learn, baby steps 😁 so far so good though keep up the good work 👍🏻

@louiskudlak2241 Год назад

Good start buddy, looking forward to more episodes, thanks for sharing

@Bigfoot_2109 Год назад

Thankyou!!! Im in Charlestown and im contemplating doing this but was unsure, thinking ill do it now , cheers!

@ashleyduvall1962 Год назад

Just a suggestion, when you are tacking frames up be mindful that as the tack cools it shrinks and will pull your frame out of square so always follow up with a tack on the opposite side when possible to help prevent it. I’m keen to see more of the build 👍🏼

@ashleyduvall1962 Год назад

Also the issue your having that you are calling dots, it’s porosity can come from dirty metal, holding the torch too far away and not allowing the gas to shield the weld pool correctly or you may not have your gas flow rate set correctly.. in a workshop with no fans/wind you should be fine on 13L/min. Hopefully that helps

@bigstickerperformance6670 Год назад

Love the "jumping in the deap end" approach. From one novice to another, yes the welder will get through the blue coating, but welding with be easier if you flap disc it off. Keep up the good work! 👍

@jikery 10 месяцев назад

It was the "balls deep" approach rather than the "jumping in the deep end" approach😂 5:25

@Warhorse469 Год назад

I'm waiting for all the "as are professional welder people" to slag this out lol, nice work mate it's looking great so far can't wait to see the end product.

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Hahaha. I’m definitely predicting it haha. I did say this is definitely not a “ how to weld “ video haha

@mrsbradpittiful Год назад

Was the reference to slag meant to be an insult?

@eds4wdcamping Год назад

Hi Steve great episode all I can say is you're a better welder than I am because I've never done it. that all look fantastic to me.😀

@shanestaff6307 Год назад

I've got two mig welders in shed been always saying going to have a go never gotten around to it you've done a mad job and will only get better as time gos on

@bergo9013 Год назад

Great good mate, Good to see ya just getting in there and doing it. I do some home welding from time to time when you are welding vertical turn your amps and wire down and try welding up it give it a stronger weld. Hope that helps 👍

@swbpajlife Год назад

It's your first time bud, you'll get the hang of it. Slight helping tip, with the 'falling puddle', weld top down, so you control the puddle instead of bottom up. hope that helps 😉 otherwise bloody awesome that your doing it all yourself.

@chrismason4512 Год назад

A tip i was shown from a boilermaker is to always clean up your earthing clamp point down to bare metal it will generally lead to cleaner welds. Trailers looking awesome.

@gilesy7169 Год назад

Great stuff mate! Coming from a fellow wood worker I live by the motto try your best and grind the rest😉 loving the build and want to do something similar for my daughter who has a 4wd now and a bad camping bug!

@tristanpreece136 Год назад

Awesome job so far, only suggestion I would make is with the water tank eyelets. I would get some 4mm or 5mm flat steel cut into a 200mm square with a hole in the middle for the eyelets and weld that on underneath. Probably overkill, but it would spread the load over a bigger area than a washer. Especially once you start using water and the weight starts moving around. Keep the great work up though, awesome watching you have a go

@gavindavies9717 Год назад

Good stuff. Can’t wait to see it completed if you are looking for any welding tips I found a guy on RU-vid Make it Kustom very helpful to learn a couple of things from.

@chrisriley8184 Год назад

Thoroughly enjoying this as I am about to do this myself, when it comes to suspension and stuff check out Trek Hardware, Their prices seem pretty comparable with Huntsmann and I have had great experiences with them. Seems reasonable enough quality for the price

@MrThaiboxer01 8 месяцев назад

Well done for giving it a crack. Just remember to grind and clean all surfaces of paint and where your earth is mounted. Always have bare clean material when welding, the blue coating on the metal will contaminate the weld and stop you from getting the best earth. But other than that mate well done. 🤙

@markcolliver5429 Год назад

Burning wire is a bit different to using a nail gun 😂 Great work mate, look forward to seeing the outcome 👍🏼

@byronberry6216 4 месяца назад

Well done on the build. Looking at doing something similar with my trailer. Would you happen to have plans for the frame (rhs) Cheers

@patryanlrd666 Год назад

Good stuff mate. I would be putting a shockie kit on there as well mate.

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Most likely going to but want to wait until it’s finished before even looking at suspension so I do it once and do it right

@KarlEller Год назад

I love the concept, and it's tempting me to have a go at something similar on a smaller 6x4. I have a feeling that you are going to really struggle to keep it under weight. Even a small camper trailer like a Patriot X1 is 950 kg empty, and that's mostly alloy and a lot smaller. Have you looked at what it'd cost (other than just parts) to get it re-engineered for something like 1500kg?

@nabob14 Год назад

No criticism here... awesome content, good job on the welds! I will mention that your welder likely has two different settings for polarity (you physically have to relocate the welding torch/ground) inside the machine). One way is for flux core, the other for Gas (MIG). If your getting a lot of spatter with one method then you likely need to change the polarity on the welder. There is usually a picture on the inside showing the location for flux core or (MIG).

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Hey mate. Thanks for the feedback. I did see the info on pos / neg setup based on if using gas or not.

@-wilson7676 Год назад

Next time you do a down weld make sure you turn the settings down almost half. Looking forward to the build 🤙🏼

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Ahhh. Now there’s some info I needed a few weeks ago haha 😂

@davehobby6421 Год назад

should you move like bolt pattern, opposite each time?

@BenMitro Год назад

Nice work! Do you have any hand drawings of what it will look like?

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Not exactly. It’s mostly in my head. I have a drawing of the layout I want but that’s about it.

@allanmears4218 Год назад

If you struggle with the vertical welds then move the work round to make them horizontal welds.

@terrydonnell5862 Год назад

Just keep going, it's the OZie way just give a go and make it work..

@darrindouglas1 Год назад

Further to my previous comment a few minutes into the video.......good on you for having a crack......vertical downs FTW...... BTW, I have sold my Y62.......

@samhiggs8086 Год назад

Hey Mate, loving the build! Was just curious on the registration process for the trailer after youve upgrade the axle and leafs. Is there an engineering route you have to go down to finalise all of that and make it legal? Cheers

@BreakShackle Месяц назад

I'd like to know about this too as I'm also considering a build like this. Also, could you do 2 water tanks or would that significantly increase the weight? What is the final weight you got at the end?

@brockparcell9909 Год назад

What model was the CIG welder you ended up buying.

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

The 160 one. Not home to look at the exact model number sorry.

@DeadlySil3nt1 Год назад

how are you securing all the frame to the trailer itself? maybe you said it and i missed it but i don't specially see a time where you mention it

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

I glazed over it because I wasn’t entirely sure myself at that stage. I ended up welding it to the trailer frame. I was going to use over center catches but didn’t think it would be strong enough. So welded it.

@lbjezzaberveling3397 Год назад

Best way to learn new skills is by having a crack. Every days a school day never stop learning.

@bushmagpie3312 Год назад

Looks like your getting the hang of welding. Suggestion, make top and bottom together so there the same size. Also with welding move tip in slight circles. This all takes time to acquire a new skill. If it breaks you know how to repair it. How did you learn 4X4?

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Trail and error. 🙏🙏🙏👍👍👍

@bushmagpie3312 Год назад

@@Australian4x4Adventures you only learn from mistakes and trial and error.

@sreetglidemikej6698 Год назад

Doesn’t look bad for your first time, it might help you if sand the blue coating off ware you are doing your welds . The more time you put in you will get better .. it’s like a hot glue gun for metal.

@chuckberry7692 Год назад

Just a bloke having a crack 🤘 Looks good fella f#%k the keyboard warriors 👍🇦🇺🔥🍻

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

Trying my best. Not expecting a world class product when I’m finished. Just something that works.

@ricklongman7807 Год назад

What size steel r u using

@Australian4x4Adventures Год назад

40x40 3mm for the main frame. And 20x20 1.6 got the door frame.

@Mckee11 Год назад

Mate new to the channel enjoying it. Who give to shits bout your nay sayers. You do you 👌. It sucks that we live in a era where people do what the love doing that much they share it with the world only to have to justify there choices.

@darrindouglas1 Год назад

By the look of it, I assumed you got a gasless mig? You need to drag the torch, just like stick welding. Don't be a tight-arse, go to bunnings and get a gas bottle. Gas shielded mig welds will look a lot nicer, and be stronger..... If I lived close by I would be happy to give you a few lessons...... Practice makes perfect.......

@stallion9888 Год назад

If in doubt weld hot

@shanenorwell8580 Год назад

Sometimes you’ve just got to have a crack in life. All you can do is practise and make sure your material is clean. Watch videos to improve your technique but the rest of it is just time on the gun.

@user-ge9bz8ws6q 4 месяца назад

Good on you for having a crack….

@cackle067 Год назад

Only criticism/ question is you should have prepared the areas you were welding first by grinding off the paint Question is why did you go painted tube over galvanised ? Surely you would be taking it on the beach Great to see you having a go and do it yourself

@raymondhayne1250 Год назад

Welding galvanised is 10 times worse to weld and 10 times worse for your health

@cackle067 Год назад

@@raymondhayne1250 sorry mate you obviously don't know how to properly prepare galvanised steel for welding then You have to remove the gal from the area you are welding then it's no different to welding non gal

@raymondhayne1250 Год назад

@@cackle067 so what is the point of using the gal in first place if your going to grind off where your welding. This is my point. I’m sure the whole thing will be painted

@cackle067 Год назад

@@raymondhayne1250Mate giving that reply shows you don't know squat Big difference between only having to paint the welds to having to paint the whole frame For a start the cost of a good epoxy enamel to paint the frame for rust protection is more than the extra cost of buying gal steel The paint will wear off & scratch everywhere it does it will rust I've been doing metal fab and built a couple of trailers myself my current trailer I built for 4wding to take into steep Point WA after ripping springs off & snapped frame on 2 other factory made trailers

@raymondhayne1250 Год назад

@@cackle067 I don’t know about you mate, but I’ve been working in the metal industry for well over 15years. I’m am a qualified boiler maker and I’ve been bending and fabricating shit that would be able to fit all your trailers put together in it. Telling a bloke that has never picked up a welder before in his life and doesn’t work with steel to use and weld galvanised steel and expecting him to know what to do is just stupid. Like Steve has said numerous times in the video, he is just giving it a crack. Start off with basic skills and learn from there.
