Y’all are a riot! It’s great fun watching y’all keep each other accountable and humble! Lord knows we all need accountability, and the way y’all still respect one another at the end of the day (or night) is priceless! Thank you for modeling comradery and good humor!
@@jdsparky288 it is my pleasure if I turned what we do into a clock in clock out job I don’t think it would be near as fun thanks for watching I appreciate it 🤙🏻
Hello Arron so nice to see you I love watching your work iv retired now at 73 iv been on many jobs with machines and diggers bulldozers you take care from phill&christine in England 🏴
I learned more watching this video Aaron, than I've learned watching the last 5 DP posts! Good thing Mike has you around, or his butt would be SOL! You are one cool cat Aaron. When the hood drops, the bullshit stops!
Having the privilege of working with the both of you I gotta say the 2 of you keep the fun in the job. No slack given to the other one. The laughs keep on coming.
Hello Aaron !!! Great to see you on here, I have watched a couple of your other videos and liked them . You have showed me a couple of tips here, I haven't welded much but I did years ago go to a vocational school in the evening 2 nights a week 3 hrs a night for 10 weeks learning how to weld steel several ways, and cut steel and to weld aluminum . Just got a good basics on some stuff, but it was a great class . I grew up on a farm here in Eastern Kentucky, in Lawrence County, KY ( this is the hometown of country music singer Ricky Skaggs ). So living on a farm I grew up learning how to do a little bit of everything . But I did go to the same vocational school where I took the welding, and wood working - cabinet making classes to become an ( electrician, wiring houses, electrical hookups for house trailers and wiring and repairing convenient stores and hooking up and repairing gas - diesel pumps, which I have worked at for years ) and then I went on to learn and repair appliances for years ) . And then growing up on a farm, I ran farm equipment so then later on after working around electrical construction, carpentry, and plumbing, I got into running heavy equipment . So I do a little bit of everything, which I have really enjoyed being able to do . We had a trailer about like the one that you were repairing for DP, that we mostly hauled our Bobcat skid steer on. Anyway a guy that I had worked with a little bit for several weeks he was using the trailer to work some for his self and for the company, it was helping him and the company both, and I had worked a lot for the company for years and then I had a company of my own . But anyway that guy he hooked the jack on that trailer with a big load on it on the railroad tracks and had to be pulled off of the tracks and tore the jack all up bad and bent the trailer up and I got a guy that I knew to do basically the same thing that you did to that trailer for DP . So I know what kind of job that you were into . It looks like that you did a great job on the trailer and I can tell that you take pride in doing your work and try to do it right 👍🤗 . So many people anymore, don't care and just do things just enough to get by, just throw it together . And I am not a person like that, I use to take some pictures of some of my electrical jobs and take them back to the vocational school and they had them hung up and would tell the new students that you should make you work look like this and the electrical teacher told me several times that he wished I would go on to school more and become an electrical teacher and come back there to teach . One of my friends for years was a electrical job inspector on some of my jobs and he also was a electrical teacher at the Ashland, Kentucky Vocational school . The vocational school that I went to was in Paintsville, KY . So Aaron I really enjoyed this video and I will be looking forward to seeing more of videos . Be careful and stay safe and keep on joking and kidding and laughing with DP. As always, Jeffrey !!!
Hey Jeff this was an awesome comment buddy I am glad to see guys like you, kind of like me a jack of all trades!🤙🏻 the world needs more people like us I know I have a full time job as a boilermaker but it is nice helping DP out! We do such a wide variety of things! Thank you for watching I really do appreciate it 🤙🏻
With you guys all filming a guy don’t stand a chance if he makes a mistake. I guess eventually it will be a real plus because you all will do a think twice walk around before you leave or hook up. Enjoy all you guys content. Great group of people 👍 🇺🇸🦅🌏⚓️🇺🇸
Arron, that sure looks like your new Christmas present their in the dump truck, the plasma cutter! You may need to extend the truck bed a bit to get it to sit properly. Thanks for fixing the sound, much better. I still like blaming Mike for touching the camera and loosing the sound on the first post...LOL
Hey, We got Miller's Auto Wreaking here in southern Ontario Canada, they are a great place to get used tires if anyone drives a old beat up 20 plus year old vehicle that they don't want or have a ton of money to be throwing into brand new tires on their old jalopy. The tires I got where General tire and they had at least 75% tread life on them, well worth the deal!
Great video Aaron! Nice to see you in your element enjoying yourself and doing the work of the tradesmen all over the world. Wonderful not to see Jason Sleeps A Lot bothering you and interrupting your narration. Work safe, see ya on the next 1 Doug@ the "ranch"
Nice work Aaron, we need a good fabrication channel on the tube for heavy equipment and repairs i hope you keep up this kinda content. btw local 475 steamfitter here out of New Jersey
Hey brother thank you yeah I’m gonna try my best to put more time into this hobby I am really enjoying connecting with people with what I do thanks for watching I appreciate it 🤙🏻
I like how ya used the floor jack to hold up a jack that you could have used to support itself lol good to see you making more videos it’s always fun to see some of the stuff DP edits out have a good one
Great to see your videos again, good job on the trailer even if the boss picked on the paint job. Get your so called big boy license and teach Mike how to weld ,Thanks for the great videos stay safe
I remember someone liked to mount jacks on a backing plate that way if they had to replace the jack they cut into a sacrificial piece instead of the frame
@25:48 my "frugal mind" (cheap skate) said, "You should never have to cut a wedge off for scrap. Leave the end square cut, and move up the length of you finished piece to cut an angle. Then slid the piece over and cut square for another length. 3 angle cuts give you 6 pieces without throwing any away 🤣😎 Maybe there needs to be another wire in the harness of the trailer, that connects to a 'No GO' light on the dash of the truck. Rig it to a normally closed switch on the jack, so the light is ON, until the foot comes up and opens the switch 😏😏😏
Good to have you back ! D.P. needs to be written up by H.R. for holding up production . You guys were in Middlebury, which is Elkhart county , the trailer capital of the world , and he waits to get home to buy a trailer jack ???
You are a excellent welder MBTS I got buddy's that weld to on my equipment but you are always thinking ahead a dyeing bread your a credit to your skill !!!
Using a mig welder was my favorite type of welding. I've also done some flux core and stick welding, which I didn't care for at all, and a lot of submerged arc welding, which was my second favorite type of welding. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
Just a thought for next time. Instead of welding jack directly to the trailer weld on some 2x3 quarter wall angle iron to the jack and bolt that to the trailer. Makes easier to change out and dont keep heat cycling the trailer steel.
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 You know DP and Kleeman, and yet you’re still hopeful it won’t happen again! You know they’ve each got points for trailer damage this year....right? Kleeman’s ahead by a small margin....He run his rudder aground, and DP just forgot to pull anchor!!!😆😂🤣
I preface by saying I love you and I appreciate you sharing your videos with all of us. With that said, I love how you describe DP not getting the job done by saying "He ain't done it". It just tickled me pink when you said that. Good ole Hank Jr said it best, "A country boy can survive"... God bless you "The Man", God bless you.
It did sound like a sound problem. Of course, I wouldn't have done it that way. But, I wasn't there and it ain't my money. Your video is nicely done. Too bad Dirt interrupted you. I worked for my brother- in-law once. I waited on him to get stuff more than I worked. Eaglegards...
When you film close up welding you should change the exposure settings on your GoPro so that the camera isn't blinded by the arc. The easy way to do that is point it a bright light and lock the exposure. If you want more control over getting it the same every time and the best image then you can manually set the iso and shutter settings to a low iso setting and fast shutter. In either case, the image will be very dark except for where you're welding so it means either having 2 cameras or switching your settings back and forth as you film.
Hey I appreciate the advise I’m green to this stuff I have a GoPro7 white and a black are these options offered on them? By the way thanks for watching 🤙🏻
@@aaronbummmanbehindthescene4931 You should be able to press and hold on the screen to bring up the exposure lock setting. When it puts a square with a dot that is the location in the view it's locking on to. Tap the square again to choose lock and tap the check mark while pointed at a bright light. To access iso and shutter manually you need to go into the video settings and enable Protune, then iso and shutter should be in the settings. For welding you're probably best off with an iso setting of 100. I'm not sure what shutter setting to suggest, something fast.
I watched it about an hour ago and at 13:37 the audio went out, but I noticed you fixed it so I came back and watched the whole thing again. Your a good man MBTS.
No apologies necessary! I get the pleasure of watching your video again 🙂. I do enjoy watching your work and your detailed/humours commentary is appreciated. By the way - great production and editing. Keep up the great work!
I know it is late now, but why not drop the foot and let it determine plum and level? When you were cutting the 2x3 tubing, there was a way to cut and have zero waste. Did you see it after you were finished?
I stopped and replayed when the sound stopped and the second time and there was audio!! I smiled when I saw you using the soapstone stick to mark the steel. I have some from my father who was a old fashioned machinist and welder too. I also have the same square as you were using only 50 + years old !!
I noticed you didn't have your helmet on when you tac weld binder blocks on... did you just close your eyes? Gutsy, be safe and good to see you back. Just subscribed.
I guess it’s good to be late sometimes😂 I never would have known about the audio incident. Looks good! Your tricks tips and techniques are invaluable for an amateur trying to make/maintain their own equipment! Keep em coming!
Uphill is a stronger weld than downhill it’s got a higher tensile strength but real thin metals it doesn’t much matter because the metal will rip before the weld fails thanks for watching 🤙🏻
Yeah I was back for a short time already back to boilermaking setting up and planning the spring outage I appreciate the support you all give us thank you 🤙🏻
Seems Mr. Perfect fails to admit his mistakes but sure does broadcast everyone else's mistake's . Great to see you back Aaron . Y'all need to cover his new camera above the flags so he can't spy on y'all while working . Great video Aaron . As we say here in Arkansas " Keep them cards and letters come'n " . Over and Out from Danny Vint .
Greetings Aaron !!!! No problem with the audio on this side of the pond, must be the time difference 🤣🇬🇧 Good fix on the trailer, considering Mike allegedly doesn't break anything!!! Just an observation, would it be worthwhile using a bungee chord or similar to keep the speedbinders in place to stop them jumping out the holders? 🤔
‘‘Twas looking forward to watching these trailer videos, super bummed for you that the audio didn’t work... super super keen to rewatch the whole thing now, thanks for reloading it bud.
Awesome video that time, thanks for the redo with the audio. Hopefully I'm not the only one who went back and watched it again with sound. Thanks again. PS you are so much better now with the camera, no more stage fright.
👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🗽🙏🏻 Enjoyed! Was the trailer level?🤐 I'd probably cranked the new jack down onto the floor, but I'm just an old old farm boy! You do a great job and love to watch you fabricate! Like the holders but won't the binders be easy to steal not locked up in the box?
That’s where he said wanted it it was out of level but the jacks level and the height was set there so it is able to hook up to the C8500 hard to explain and we have a cable we can run through the speed binders if needed thanks for watching 🤙🏻
glad to see you on the vidyas MBTS - it is good to see a master of his trade working - very informative - and educational. is the trailer frame level when you plumb up the jack front to back?
