    Another great idea is to put (L) track at the top of both side walls and one down the center of the ceiling. In case you have to trailer something tall or to big. That you don't or can't lay flat on the floor. Like huge windows, a mirror, or solar panels. Etc. Etc. 😍👍👍The one on the ceiling also doubles as a left point to pick something up.

      I'm actually doing what you suggested but using E Track for that because I like that it has a bigger profile and can act as a rub rail. I never gave it a thought to use it for hauling bigger stuff off the floor like you suggested. Thats pretty awesome and I will be doing that for sure. I appreciate you sharing! 👍🙏

    Brandon, I love the fact that you mixed up the content on your welding channel to remind us the audience that any fool with talent can weld, but a true craftsman plans first.
    I've known a lot of excellent welders that had huge and expensive waste piles because they didn't plan and setup their project. You on the other hand, explained your reasoning for doing what you did and then showed the world what planning and foresight can accomplish, PERFECTION.
    I like the way you roll brother and I trust you as a teacher and master of the welding arts.
    Tim,

      Man i appreciate this! I'm big on planning and trying to get all the details right. Most of the time its all in my head but planning sure makes the finish project better and usually cheaper in the long run. Thanks for watching and commenting!

    As always, you provide more information than just what you intended. This information can be applied to many things. Nice job!!! Those chocks are great looking and do the job very well. And, getting the tounge weight correct and the methodo of measuring is terriffic!!! When loading a trailer, I put the heaviest items basicall over the axels, which you accomplished. The weight of the cabinets (and material inside) may have a marginal effect. but should not alter the +/- 10% rule!!! Thanks so much, Brandon!!! Be well, be safe, be Blessed!!! Jim

    Great ideas you are using inside the trailer Brandon. Using good equipment to tie things secure inside the trailer is the only way to go if you value your equipment. Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe. Fred.

      That's always my bigest concern Fred. Years ago a friend of mine towed his custom Harley to Daytona and when he got there and opened the door his bike was on it's side. For him one of the straps let go. Not a good feeling. I will probably put 6 straps on each bike just in case something like this should happen.

      Thanks man! Yah they are pretty slick. Im putting E track on the walls and L track on the floor next. Then i have to get it wired up with 12 volt and 120 volt lighting. Im probably going to build the cabinets right inside the trailer lol

    Carriage bolts is what you meant for mounting the chocks, I agree with another commenter about sealing the edges of the plywood ie epoxy comes to mind.😁🛫

      The crossmembers are made of 2x3 box tubing so i will probably just go with a sheet metal type of screw.

    Great video as always. I was surprised to see how clean that frame and floor was when you cut that chunk out. That trailer is in extra good shape. As soon as I saw them crocs I thought…… there will be no plasma cutting in this video….😂😂😂

      Hahahaha my wife bought those for me. I swore i wouldnt be caught dead in public with them...then i tried them on and its been downhill from there lol. Yah aside from the dents on that one side its in real nice shape. I bought it cheap enough that i can replace that whole side and still be in good shape if i were to ever sell it.

    Are you going to paint the bottom of the floor?

    • @BrandonLund
      @BrandonLund  2 роки тому

      I doubt it. I will probably just blow on a coat of fluid film every fall and that should do just fine to help protect the wood and aluminum. Lucky for me this was decked with marine grade plywood rather than that chip board that most trailer manufacturers use so it should hold up pretty good being sealed.
