Making a Trailer Gate: FABRICATION TIME! 

Good vid, but would've liked to see how the hinges looked as well

I feel your pain about the knees!! I put on knee pads when i walk in the shop then the gloves. I’ve built a couple small trailers like you were working on. I agree 100% the hinges always deal me a fit. Awesome work !! I’ll watch you on the next one.

Roy, I feel your pain brother at almost fifty years of age I have been through the ringer quite a few times and all I can say is keep on moving. Thats how I cope with the pain. That said awesome job on the trailer Roy.

Yep worst think you can damage is your back.... rarely heal right, keep safe n sound Roy

As an electrician I can relate to you on the knees and back. Yes make a video on the tiny camper. Thanks

curios what you charge for a gate like this? I'm in the process of doing one for a friend.

Build a 4X8 steel table! Put it outside if you don't have room inside. It will take it 10 years or more to rust if you treat it monthly by wire wheeling and sanding it with a 4" grinder and lightly coating it with NEW 30W oil. (Now I see how old this is. I hope you have a good steel table in the new shop by now.) Still a good video.

I had a heck of a time welding the gate on to my utility trailer. The added issue I had with mine was I wanted the tailgate to fold flat into the bed of the trailer as well as fold out to the ground. If you look back on my channel / playlist you can find the $50 trailer build

Where did you get the metal mesh?

good video by keeping it real and working threw problems

Back and knees I no where your coming from Roy and the older you get the worse it gets youse your head not your back 👍👍👍

No offense, but your shop is too small to turn around in, and you need to prime and paint the gate.

only ever hurt my back once and i still dont know how as i wasnt lifting heavy objects or anything but once i had someone who knew how to fix it manipulate it correctly i have been fine i did exercises for 6 months and now i lift a lot of heavy things including the 400lb anvil loaned to me God bless you Roy look forward to whats next

Would love to see a video of the mobile cabin! Sorry about your back! I would recommend some basic yoga or pilates for stretching! Take care of yourself.

Those square clamps are pretty cool, what kind/where'd ya get?

Thanks for sharing your video, hope you heal up and get back into the swing of things. I have a question about automotive coil springs, how much heat should I apply to make the two ends meet? Right now one end is up about 3/4 of an inch. I am trying to make a campfire pot stand, with several circular rings welded together. This is my cut coil spring section where you can see one side is raised up . imgur.com/a/yd8Kp thanks for any advice.

the person who thumb downed this video must have never had back or knee pain.

About what would that cost?

Hope you didn't hurt your back too bad man. 👍

get better! mistakes happens! Good job !
