    That looks awesome! That trailer looks and is better than it was from factory. I like the way you explain what you're doing. As far as what we want to see, some more close up shots of what you're working on, some overhead shots, and change angles while you're working more. Not that your videos are lacking at all, that would just add. Your work speaks for itself. Slower shots of the welding maybe. Load up your videos first thing in the morning and Sundays are a pretty good day to load them as well. The algorithm is weird for sure. 👍🏻

      Thank you! Those are all good points, honestly. I'm so used to just working and getting it done, I don't think to changes angles, etc. It's a slow learning curve for me, lol😁

    Seems kinda wasteful to do all of those cuts. 1, its taking alot of time, and wasting blades. 2, having shorter pieces is less desirable than longer ones as far as having any useable scrap pieces to use in the future. That 2 x 6(or 8)x .25" box frame is not cheap, and I'd prefer to keep it longer, so i can use it to fix something else in the future. Idk, just my opinion & thoughts.... you're the one making the decision. Anyways, keep doing your thing man. 👌🏻👍🏼👨🏻‍🏭😎🤔👨🏻‍🔧

      So, I totally agree with you on this. In most cases, I'll try to save good metal, but I didn't feel comfortable reusing this metal due to all the stress that this tongue had on it over the past few years. I now realize I didn't convey this in the video. My biggest concern would be tiny stress cracks in the metal. Either way, my clients pay for the steel, so I normally just order what I need and the left overs I use for my own projects or filler scraps for large projects. The economy in Central MD, where I am at, supports this and no one complains, but I know other areas are more cost concerned and would try to reuse as much as possible. Thanks for watching and thanks for bringing up this point!
