GO TO 7:35 to get right to the DIVE! ----- WARNING: ......... I ramble and tell stories. Just sayin'. You have been warned. Check the times below for points you might want to forward to.
This is my SMART tool trailer version 1.5 as I fondly refer to it and is one of my first videos so it is rough and I had no editing software to change it, just the pause button on the phone.
Other people's trailer videos are linked below. They are way better than mine! Don't leave negative comments please. This was one of my first ever videos and had no idea what I was doing. I know this. No need to tell me again.
NOTE: Deep dive STARTS at 7:35.
For a description of version 1 differences from this version 1.5, go to 4:20.
For a brief history of why I have a Ron Paulk trailer to begin with....start at 0! I hope you enjoy!
Part 2 takes the tour from the v-nose through the cubbys and into the drawers.
Here is a link to my ENTIRE PLAYLIST for SMART-inspired Trailer videos.

As a thank you to all of the tool trailer contractors out there who have posted tours and deep dives (from Ron Paulk to Shooshine Jonnie to Dave Edmondson to Renovations & Repair to Honest Allen Lee ..... and soooo many more) - here is my 6x10 Vee nose trailer set up with a modified SMART set of plans and the deep dive into arrangement and organization. If there is a trailer tour video out there, chances are I have seen it! Thanks for all who share their set ups and organization methods. There is at least one nugget of an idea in each one of them.
Keep a look out for a video I shot for my son which was my first tour and shallow dive into my trailer, version 1.0 before it was completed and then later partially reworked into this version (1.5). It is a nice comparison of where I started and how stark it was on its first outing to a 2 month long job and how much it has changed since summer of 2019 to now!
I hope you enjoy!
And here is a short list of links to trailer tours and deep dives as a way to say thanks for all the trailer videos out there! Keep building. Keep Safe!

I am jealous! SMART stands for Small Mobile Awesome Rolling Toolbox and you beat me. Dang😩. Stick with it, don't follow the crowd and think the answer is bigger. Smaller is better. Great job and from this, I know your client work is top-notch.

@stephenspencer3883 3 года назад

Thanks for the nice words Ron and thanks for all the hours you put in over thirty years that allowed me to create my SMART trailer (and compact bench)! Your channel and videos are really appreciated. I will avoid the “bigger is better” crowd mentality and likely settle on a 7x12 for SMART trailer 2.0 just to allow me a bit more room and a more efficient configuration. Ideally, the 8.5ft wide would be nice but I will likely end up with the 7’. If the spring is good to me, I will make the purchase and do a new build and will combine your SMART and ART design into a single build. If I get to that point, I will post a few videos. Again, thanks for all you are doing! Stay safe.

@FabioSilva-hu9xb 3 года назад

can y buy your plan for trailer 6x10 ?

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Hi Fabio....I wish I had plans to sell or give away but giving credit where its due.....It is Ron Paulk. All I did was buy his SMART trailer plans from his website for $25 and downloaded them. They are set up for a 8x12 trailer but I was able to easily scale them for the 6x10 and then modify them for my tool needs. So I recommend you visit the SMART Woodshop site and look for Ron's plans. I think you will find them very valuable and easy to work with. Best of luck if you build out a trailer, truck, van, or workshop!

Thanks for commenting! If you took any ideas from my “magic trailer” as I like to call it, I must say that chances are, they were already stolen merchandise to begin with. I am great at appropriating good ideas from others. Ron Paulk and others like him are innovators of these cool ideas while I am more of a modifier and implement or of these ideas. I have small luck with original cool ideas but have great luck taking someone’s idea and making it work for me in some modified form. All credit to the innovators though! I am happy they exist.

You took out your shelves and cabinets to tote a generator for your friend? You’re a good friend! Awesome trailer!

@sdsconstruction 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind comment! I knew when we got the job a few states south I would need to take “everything” with me for the two month remodel and so a trailer made sense. Thinking I would have basic open shelves and some floor space, I committed to bring the generator home. Then……I found Ron Paulk and his SMART trailer and with plans in hand, built mine out like a mini version of his. When the job was done and I realized how big the generator was, I realized I would have to demo the one side of the trailer to accommodate. I have given my word so there was only to make it happen. Like I have learned from many great people around me, I made this an opportunity to improve on a rough draft and it worked out very well. Glad I was forced into it.

@Nathan-H 3 года назад

Great Video! Your right though, you did go on for a while explaining your rational for creating your trailer, However, that just goes to show how much love you have put into this outfit. If only all tradesmen were as passionate about their trade as you are about yours, then the world truly would be a better place. As a potential client, if you rocked up to my property with this trailer to provide me with a quote, you would get my work no matter how your quote compared to others, the way I see it….. If you care for your tools and equipment that you make a livelihood with then it only stands to reason that you would show the same consideration to my property. Top Tip: you obviously have but a great deal of time and effort into labelling and organising your entire outfit, your shelf unit that is around the corner would be better if it were labelled too. You have your trailer organised in such a fashion that someone else can go in your trailer and grab what you need on your behalf, this unlabelled section just lets you down a little here, yes I know its labelled round the corner, but you can't see the labels when you’re looking at the shelf. I'd like to see the Plans for your Shim Jig if you can recall where online you found them. Regards Family Prepper

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

And you are correct....I should label the large endcap "screw-tainer" shelving to better find what is on there. The top three or four shelves are very predictable but below it gets a bit random.

@frankvisone9188 3 года назад

To say this is exactly what I have been looking for is an understatement. I too am a part-time contractor/handyman. I bought a 6 x 10 V nose trailer in march of 2019 because I got tired of packing my tools into my suburban every time I had a job. About a month ago I got tired of never being able to keep things orderly even in the shelving I built in the trailer, so I started looking for ideas online. I swear your beginning story sounds EXACLY like mine. I discovered Ron, watched a billion videos and felt a surge of energy and enthusiasm I hadn't felt in forever. I just bought his plans this week for the SMART trailer and have been adapting and designing for my size limitations and tools. Your trailer is amazing and I'm beyond impressed! I have one question though--were you able to find lightweight plywood? and if not, how has the standard 3/4 and 1/2" ply been with regard to the weight on the trailer?

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Thank you for the heartfelt comments and the enthusiasm! I still feel,it when I drop that door down each time and am thankful to have discovered Ron’s system before my first build to give me a great direction to go the very first time building out a tool trailer! As to your question....I really tried to get the Moreland at the time but they were just going out of business and I couldn’t find 18mm anywhere near me and I looked as far away as New Jersey and Long Island! So....I simply used A/C 3/4 and 1/2 in plywood, regular wt in the build along with some 1/4 in for the cubby panels. In my next trailer, I plan to hunt down this premcore plus, even if I have to drive half of Canada to get it (when the border opens of course). My wt is a little under max with ply and tools. Hope this helps! If you post pictures or video of your trailer, let me know! Best of luck with the build.

@frankvisone9188 3 года назад

@@sdsconstruction Thanks for answering my question. I definitely plan on doing a time-lapse video and/or final tour of my trailer when complete and will definitely let you know when it gets posted. Time and money at this time of year are in short supply (three kids and a 4th on the way) so my enthusiasm outweighs my ability to get things underway, but it will be underway soon!

Best of wishes for healthy and trouble free entry into the world for the little one. Best of luck to Mom!

Nice trailer setup 👍 I found the best thing to hold the smaller tubes of caulk is a milk crate and Menards sells the heavy duty plastic milk crates now just like the ones you see all the grocery stores and they are only like 6 bucks... The nice thing is you can just grab the whole milk crate and take the whole thing on the job with you... Try it out and see what you think...

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

I have seen that too! Very cool advice. No room in this trailer to make that work efficiently but in the next trailer, it is worth a serious look at using those crates. Thanks for the comment.

@NAFO_Badger_Brigade 2 года назад

Stunning tour. I'm sure that the cost of the trailer and kitting it out will soon be regained with the time you must save on each job by having everything so neatly organised.

@sdsconstruction 2 года назад

Thanks for commenting and the compliment! Having all the tools on the job and not forgetting anything…..having a variety of common and specialty fasteners on the job: all of that has really allowed for me to say that the trailer has paid for itself even with just the first job I had it for which was the cause of buying and building out the trailer in the first place. Since then, and a bunch of jobs later, it has been all that and more. In fact, it has actually gotten me a couple jobs because the ramp was down and people going by saw it and stopped and stuck up conversations because of the trailer and it ended up with work! Very cool.

@aadifelt2937 2 года назад

if you pull out those drywall screws on your vertical support brace, you can put double ended course threaded & machine threaded bolts, think maybe for dining room table legs, and get you a couple of wing nuts. Then, the bolts holding the support for your table saw remain stationary, you can drill a couple holes in your support, and you dont have to find a tool to remove the support, just unscrew the wing nuts.

@sdsconstruction 2 года назад

That is a really good idea! Thanks for commenting. Take care.

@sdsconstruction 2 года назад

I found the local Iraqis to be very friendly and as a member of a 4-man special ops team, we had an interpreter so we had a lot of interaction with our locals from north of Baghdad to Just south of Tikrit. Insurgents and crime lords made it tough. In the end…we were just the next round of guys with guns driving the streets. Largely, if left alone, the people of Iraq just wanted to keep on going with their lives. I hope we did some good to offset some of the bad. I hope it is better for them as a people now that we are gone and they are autonomous (as far as I know) and that some of the people I personally interacted with are doing well and experiencing success and happiness. The kids in Iraq were amazing! Just goes to show that kids are kids no matter where you go. Thanks for commenting! I guess I strayed a bit from a trailer video.

@asgarsg12 3 года назад

Hey brother, good vid. Im commenting 7 months after, so you probably found a work around, but here it is, that little problem with the right side where your non passing restrain!, whre yoy have to unscrew the stock... Maybe you can do a frame with hinges on the right side, 1 inch frame (picture frame if you will) and a latch that way you can just remove the stock that holds the shelves anytime you need to get your miter saw out,.

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

That is a very clever idea that never occurred to me. I have gotten so used to the support brace with the two screws that I have not bothered to explore any other options but yours is a good one! It is passive in as much as it would only have a latch of some sort to keep it in place while not needing to remove screws to get to the saws. Nice. Thanks for the comment!

They are fairly expensive when you need a bunch so I found the clear plastic jar option on Amazon and have been really happy to have such an inexpensive and easy way to organize all the small amounts of screws and washers and such. Having such an organized accumulation of various types of hardware has really saved a ton of time and trips to the hardware store during jobs. I will keep this idea going when I create my next trailer!

Hi Denis. Thanks for commenting! I wish I had a "here is how I did it" video series but as you can tell from the quality of this video tour, I was new to videos and youtube and had no video editing software at the time and I couldn't even turn the screen/phone camera around as I shot the video so this is why I am not in this video at all. Just the pause button was all the editing I had. Ron Paulk has two great video series about the build for his ART trailer and the new one (that mine is built like) SMART trailer. I would recommend you look up his channel and go to his playlists and find the SMART trailer build. He offers great insight. In a year or two (which doesn't help you today) I am getting a larger trailer and will do my best to do the build-out video series you were inquiring for.

Instead of having to remove screws to remove your table saw or mitersaw, you should consider using some sliding bolt gate latches.

@sdsconstruction 8 месяцев назад

Howdy WVR! Thanks for commenting. The post that supports the shelf with the miter saw and the ceiling of that cabinet does have two screws but to be honest, I only use the screws when I am taking the trailer farther than 30min from the house. I have found over the past 4 years that it rides fine with just a friction fit. The bolt latch is a great idea though and is tooless to operate. Thanks for the tip!

@paidinfull5950 3 года назад

Mines not as neat but I install multiple doors a day and I have to have the right side available to haul away all my old doors and debris everyday, I keep my latter ratchet strapped to the right side, it comes out then at the end each old door goes against the wall and all trim and trash and then when it’s in the latter goes back against the doors and gets strapped so the debris doesn’t bounce or move. Nice build you’ve got!

So honestly how much do you insure your trailer for. I'm about to purchase a 7x14 and will deck it out too. My worst fear would be to have all that stolen. Like what would be a ball park value you would apply for all that. I currently only have renters insurance and have found that doesn't cover squat unlike having a homeowners policy. Also thank you so much for taking the time to create this video. Helps us all keep moving forward.

@sdsconstruction 2 года назад

Cost of the trailer replacement less a deductible and several thousand dollars for the tools. It is also why I video the trailer and do tours and deep dives.

@sdsconstruction Год назад

Hi Romand! Thanks for checking out the early deep dive video! The trailer is around 4200lbs as it sits now. I had a 5000lb axle installed last summer for the weight. If you are in the market for a trailer, I would recommend a dual axle and go with the 5000lb axles if you can. No crime having more possible weight than you will ever carry. My next trailer is set to be a 8x12 (with at least 7ft ht) duel 5000lb axles, ramp door. Now that I have lived with a trailer build out, I know what I need but I needed to have this trailer to learn on. Best of luck and thanks for the compliment. If you document your purchase and build out, let me know. I am a junkie for trailer videos.

I made my trailer very functional with little time , as I worked I would change things as I seen a need an hour here and there I would never spend a ton of time building all that stuff in a trailer to look pretty I focus more on function my time was better spent on job sites crafting but the trailer was organized

@sdsconstruction Год назад

Thanks for commenting! I certainly understand your approach and it is a sound way to go for having tools/material and efficiency on a job site. I was headed in that direction enthusiastically when I stumbled onto Ron Paulk’s videos on his trailer buildouts and really liked the organization method. After watching other contractors and their build outs based on Paulk’s ideas, I committed to going with a more involved design rather than the open shelves I was initially looking at. I was very lucky to have a week and a half to start from an open trailer shell and build it out without sacrificing not being on a job site earning money so I could take the time and make it what you saw here. For me it has nothing to do with the aesthetics (although it was what got my attention with his first video I saw) and all about the organization that comes with the build out. Within reason, I have everything I need tool-wise when I pull in to a site and more so for me, (being inherently disorganized) I can find what I have very quickly. We all have different systems and most of them work very well for us individually and keep us in business earning money and keeping the craftsmanship first and foremost where it should be. I am really happy to hear your system is very dialed in and makes the job site a very productive place. Thanks again for commenting!

Nice video. I may have missed it but how does the single axle fare with the weight of all your tools and shelving? Do you haul materials in it as well? If so, how does the trailer handle that additional weight? I'm asking because I can't decide if I want to purchase a single axle or tandem. I like the single axle for the weight savings. But I don't won't to overload it. I also like the idea of a tandem axle due to having brakes on the trailer as well. Decisions, decisions....

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment! Single axle handles fine with my build and tools but am close to max. I would prefer tandem and next trailer will have them either 7x12 or 7x14. I haul basic materials in small quantity because this is my only trailer and I am in between trucks. It still hauls fine with a few sheets of drywall or ply or .... whatever with no difference in handling.

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment! I will try to remember to get accurate measurements tomorrow but I believe the left cabinet bank is a full 24in and the right was driven by the end tool garage needs that hold the table saw and mitre saw. That side is more like 26 or 28 in. My isle is just about 23in as you walk in at the counter height. It is tight but it works. I like your wider isle idea for sure but in my build, I really appreciate the two banks of tool cubbies at the two different depths which allows for a narrow but full length counter which is I find very convenient. For me, any narrower on the left drawer bank would have shorted me the counter. But.......the neat thing about these trailer builds is that whatever you do will work and you will discover a really good work flow with the trailer and it’s organization! My next trailer, a spring purchase, I hope, will be a 7 x 12 allowing for a wider isle just as you are talking about. Best of luck with your build and if you post any video or pictures, please let me know. I am shameless at stealing good ideas.

I bought Ron Paulk’s plans for his SMART trailer which is set up for an 8.5ft x 12ft trailer and them modified it for the 6x10. Basically, on the left side,I eliminated a cabinet bank. I also eliminated the middle bank of tool cubbies (Ron has 3 banks, I have 2). My reel system for power and air had to move to the V-nose wall since I did not have room to mount it to the left side end cabinet like Ron. The right side was much more original to the build since I had to do an end vertical large tool garage. This caused me to rearrange the rest of the right side into the current configuration. I did keep the end tall cabinet drawer bank. I do not have plans for my build but you can find Ron’s plans for his SMART trailer by going to his SmartWorkshop site.

You may find some really adaptable opportunities for your build. Also……Ron re-posted a video from a guy named Luis, who built out a Sprinter Van using Ron’s ideas and it turned out fantastic!

Great Question. For me, I own multiples of some tools because on a jobsite, I can set up the same tools differently for a multiple step production (like three drill and two drivers with different drill bits and different drivers). I also own multiples on tools that if they broke during a job, I could keep on working with a replacement. Granted, I mostly buy bare tools to keep costs down so I can afford to have 3 drills. Others have multiple employees and need more tools to keep larger crews going. I do confess to only having two grinders though. I would like a third. Doing tile work, having one set up with a diamond hole saw, one with a diamond tile cutting wheel, and one with a finger milling bit would be very efficient with tile work around plumbing and electrical.

When I built this, A/C ply was around $50 a sheet for 3/4, less for half inch. Maybe all told, over $5k, under $6k. Before tools. No labor charges of course.

How much do you think it weighs with everything inside of it?

@sdsconstruction Год назад

Thank you very much for checking out the video and for your question! Currently, 4000lbs. Tools, build out, everything. This summer I had the axle exchanged for a 5000lb axle so I am still within weight limits.

Is there a "part 2" to go with this video?

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Thanks for the view to the video! If you are interested, just search for the same video name just change out the 1 for a 2 after "part." There is a final part as well because I just can't seem to either talk faster or talk less and I am not accomplished yet at video editing. Stay safe!

How wide is your walkway?? Looks nice and very organized!

@sdsconstruction Год назад

Howdy Jay. Thanks for checking out this real early video of mine on the deep dive. The isle is just a little under 24inches. The left drawer bank is 24 deep, the large tool garage on the right is 24 deep, so what was left out of just under 6ft width became the isle. Next trailer is going to be 8ft wide so I can get a real wide isle and a better designed right side of trailer for big tools. Thanks for the question! All design credits to Ron Paulk of SMART WOODSHOP for his video build series and his plans I purchased to build this out.

@SdS Construction thanks for the reply, I just picked up a 6x12, excited to get started on it

@@jaypence1911 best of luck with your build out! I am already excited for my next (and last) build out and it is 2 years away!

@chrisbang9190 3 года назад

You mentioned that you have plans for this, but I didn't see the plans anywhere. I have pretty much the same trailer and would like to build this in my own, where can I get the plans for this?

@stephenspencer3883 3 года назад

Thanks for checking out the video. The plans I mentioned are Ron Paulk’s plans for his SMART trailer that I purchased for $25 from his website as an immediately downloadable PDF. His plans are set up for a 8.5ft x 12ft trailer with a ramp door. I modified his plans using a ruler and graph paper for my trailer to make sure the math and the measurements worked in then6 x 10ft. My graph paper plans would not be very useful to,anyone so I would recommend Ron’s plans as something to copy or to use as a starting point for a trailer build with your own modifications to make it fit your tools and work flow and way that you organize. For my next trailer, (a 7x12 or 7x14 next time) I am planning on using his SMART trailer plans for the left side build out but using some of his other trailer plans he calls ART, to better build out the right side to accommodate work benches and my big tools. I will have to buy his ART plans at that point. Best of luck with your build and if you post pictures or any video, let me know please! I would like to check out the build.

@chrisbang9190 3 года назад

Ah awsome thanks for the quick reply, if you dont mind me asking roughly what was the material cost and time investment in building one of these beasts?

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

The time.....first build was about a week and a half with some long days to get 2/3rds of it done before the out of state job. I ended up removing the right side cabinets at that job for trailer space and had to rebuild it when I got back but did some redesign so it was a win. Another week to rebuild but then I was able to at last, build the drawers. So all told.....maybe two solid weeks with some long days including the learning curve I needed for the build. Cost? Sheets of ply were around $50 or so a sheet for A/C at the time. So all told, maybe around $1000 to $1250 for what I have into it currently materials and electrical.

Good Lord, I thought I kept a lot if screws/nails etc in my truck and trailer

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

I know, right? I was real surprised when I got all of my fasteners stock out into one place and sorted it and realized how much I had. I was impressed. Nothing in big quantities but several 1lb size boxes. Having a rolling hardware store really helps me to avoid breaking into a day on a job to go to Lowes for screws and nails. If I leave the job, minimum an hour goes by and it breaks my momentum. Before the trailer, I did not have a good system to store and organize so I had multiples of a lot of stuff. Can’t say how happy I am to have this system. Keeps as efficient and productive as possible in my perpetual second gear pace I inherently have. Thanks for commenting! Stay safe.

@benshell8662 3 года назад

@@sdsconstruction Totally agree. I try to keep enough in the truck to keep me going while either I or my helper can go if we run out and the other can stay to keep working

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Thanks for the comment. My basement shop has always been an explosion so when I stumbled onto Ron Paulk and others who had really refined how to organize on a mobile platform, I was all-in. Not a day goes by on a job site that I am not thankful I was able to do this build. If nothing else, I can actually find things! Love it!!!

How to your drawers Stay in place ? Do they lock in like your shelves

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

the drawers and sliding shelves all have a dado-ed notch about two inches long and 3/8in deep at the front of each drawer bottom (which is also the slide for the drawer since the bottoms are wider to fit in the dados in the cabinet sides). This notch drops behind a small piece of glued in hardwood and the hardwood piece stops the drawer or shelf from moving or sliding out during transit. To open, I simply lift the drawer or shelf about a quarter inch before pulling forward over the small piece of hardwood. Ron Paulk calls it "passive restraint" and it works perfectly.

Is that 3/4 inch plywood?

@sdsconstruction 3 года назад

Thanks for checking out the video.......Most of each cabinet is built from 3/4 ply but there is a lot of 1/2 in but primarily with the drawers and shelves. 1/4 inch for the dividers in the tool cubbies.

@jonoliver5143 Год назад

that support for the right side shelves holding the mitre saw looks pretty weak..

@sdsconstruction Год назад

Hi Jonathan, thanks for commenting! The support is a dado/rabbitted 1x2 with two screws. It sits on the floor of the table saw area and dado slots into the middle shelf/miter saw shelf and has a rabbit that notches in at the top shelf. I used to use the screws when traveling but have not done that in a year. The support not only has really done well supporting the two floating plywood pieces but it has even traveled well without the screws and has never come out/off while in transit. At this point, I can detect no additional sag in either the MS shelf or the top ceiling piece that was not already there when I built the unit. I agree with you that it seems like it is not enough but it has really proven itself to be an adequate support for those floating pieces.

@jonoliver5143 Год назад

@@sdsconstruction good reply, I figured it would suffice and hold up but it just doesn’t look right lol. Personally I’d put a 2x2 rip in there and never have to worry about it, not that just general use and driving is gonna break it but maybe bumping into it would break it who knows..
