Magnificant job. Enjoyable to watch how many tools we need most no-technicians haven't got a clue of. What a great tool to get the welds off the mesh. Never seen this before. Should have such a pneumatic hammer too. Many thanks for this professional vid Brandon. Learned a lot again. Merci Brandon and greetz from Holland😃

It might be inappropriate to ask this but I'm super interested in knowing how you priced or would have priced this kind of job. Great upload as always!
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund Месяц назад
It's not inappropriate at all. I actually enjoy sharing this information because it helps inspiring fabricators and DIY folks get an idea of how to charge. I also know that my customers watch this channel, so it helps to show transparency. Everyone appreciates honesty and knowing how the price was arrived. I take my material cost (metal, cutoff discs and consumables and add 20% to my actual cost. This covers small things like electric bill and gas to pick up the materials) so for this job, $120 then I estimate my time (5 hours @ 80/hr = $400) so this job is $520. Total. Time is always the u known. Sometimes you hit the mark, sometimes you finish in less time and others I'm way off (but rarely). I also have seperate rates for certain tasks, such as I charge $100/ hr to plama cut but if it's just a few cuts like here, than I don't carry that number. $80 labor rate covers wire feed welding, stick welding, fabrication, cutting and grinding. I charge 100/ hr to TIG weld and MIG aluminum.

One thing I never thought of is twisting the ends flat to weld, that’s something there. I have same kind of gate on my motorcycle trailer. Hope mine doesn’t wear out like that!! I was thinking building folding extension at the end later on. Nice sharing!

I have welded expanded steel on a few projects. You didn't mention this, but you executed the technique perfectly, the way to weld expanded steel is to start the weld on the base material and bring the puddle to the expanded steel. Starting the weld on the expanded steel rarely works - it will just burn away like a fuse.
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund Месяц назад
I appreciate that and now that you mention it, I wish I would have talked about this. Sometimes it's those important details that so easily get overlooked because it becomes second nature, but your right, If you try to weld the expanded first, it evaporates. I subconsciously started to talk about it when I was pointing out to try and cut it on the centers of each diamond rather than leave a couple barbs, but the thought must have escaped me LOL. Thank you for bringing this up because what you pointed out is very important.

Nice job. That little Evolution saw looks like a keeper. I have the larger Evolution chop saw, but at times that gets a bit too cumbersome to lug around. I also like your idea for the welding cart...gets me thinking about something similar.

As always, Brandon, great job. Stick weld vs. Wire Feed decision making is so good. Using both on a project like this really makes a difference. On doing the little bends to straighten where you cut......would a crescent wrench to do the twist might have saved some time???? Have fun and stay safe, be well, and most of all, be Blessed!!!

How is expanded metal labeled? You said that was #9, would #10 be thicker or is it like wire gauge? I have a tandem axel car hauler trailer that the wood has rotted off of. I would like to replace the wood with expanded metal but I don't know how to order what I need. Thanks!
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund Месяц назад
Expanded metal comes in all types and sizes. You can get flat, raised and you can get different size openings. I used #9 3/4 which around here is the most common for car trailers and landscape trailers. The smaller you go for example, a #6 would be heavier than a #9.
@1978garfield
@1978garfield Месяц назад
@@BrandonLund Thanks! I would like to go pretty heavy. I can never get a straight answer on is the wood in a car hauler just decking or is it structural. My plan is to take off all the rotten wood, see what I have to work with and go from there. Many people have resurfaced these trailers either with expanded metal or something like 1/8" sheet. I doubt most of them were engineers. I would not try to build a trailer. However I think I can safely reskin one. Thanks again!
@BrandonLund
@BrandonLund Месяц назад
I've done a bunch of commercial trailers. The long flat bed over the road trailers use custom milled oak that has a lap joint on each edge. For typical car haulers and equipment trailers, just regular pressure treated lumber from the big box stores works great. They both use a black oxide bugle shaped self threading bolt to fasten the wood to the metal framing.
