I love these ASMR welding videos
Having the trailer on a rotisserie is beyond cool.
How cool is that thing?! Now, THAT is a tool that my dad and I needed back in 2018 when we had to remove three bent axles from his car hauling trailer. The trailer alone weighed more than two tons, and I was grinding away old welds from the broken leaf spring mounts for several days.
Does the rotisserie lock into position?
Nope. Sawhorses are used to hold it in place.
That's a sweet little skidsteer.
I've been watching this channel for several years now and enjoy tremendously. However, this trailer build might be the most fascinating series yet (yes, even better than the two ginormous bandsaw builds). I keep seeing you add more and more heavy chunks of steel to it and I am reminded of a movie from forty or so years ago. So imagine me standing in your backyard astonished at all that steel as I mutter "your're gonna need a bigger truck".
The Mighty Rev He just bought a Ram 3500 megacab limited dually. Their is not much bigger for personal use. Has a tow rating around 30,000lbs. I think he’ll be alright!!
P.S nice truck Matt!! I myself have a limited 3500 megacab, but a single rear wheel cause I wanted the Ram boxes.
I'll betcha he is on the list for a Cybertruck...
*And with that, The Mighty Rev, may i raise a toast to Mirthful Irreverence, everywhere!*
His horse will definitely pull this cart!
@@bronc7789 problem is he can't go to 30k tow weight, he's limited to 26k gross vehicle weight by his class D drivers license.
I bet your neighbors just love you
Good to see your back on line with new content ; even if it’s old your filling in gaps. Welcome back old friend
Some tips. Anti-seize the lugs nuts, pack those bearings better (i dont know if grease got though) . Nice project.
The zoom shot of the whitetail kicked ass! Love it Matt, you make me smile.
Didn't even know it was watching me :D
@@mcremona It was stalking you, probably a dodgy sub in disguise.
Well it’s officially a trailer” THE MC TRAILER “ looking absolutely awesome Matt
Is that McTrailer
Loggy McTrailerface!
I am both impressed and perplexed at the bold strategy of building this sort of project outdoors...in the winter...in Minnesota. 😳
Oh, and she's right. Tires SHOULD be free. 😂
Ted Bownas Ted you should have been in Alaska when we were building the Alaska Pipeline. Construction workers work year around (below zero to well above 115 F).
@@billy19461 Oh, believe me- I know. I lived in Minneapolis for nine years, and I've been in upstate New York for over thirty. I'm no stranger to temperature extremes. But I find the older I get, the less I care for them. And I'm not THAT much older than Matt. 😂
His labor is free
Nic Thomas I disagree. If he decides to sell it, he will price it considering labor and not just materials.
@@jaimecastillo5876 Anything you sell is based on market value for used items - this would be classed as a DIY trailer
I need to make a small car/utility trailer soon. Made one before. Dreading all the grinding again, neighbors love the sound.
Might have to buy one this year to use as a write off and build one after prices drop. This has been a cool series.
I want a trailer to match my flatbed truck I built.
I noticed this channel while I was watching Northwest Sawyer, ( google had it over there to the right of my screen ) so I clicked on and enjoyed
watching this build for the 26 plus minutes. Then I thought, "now, I'd like to watch part 6" so I subscribed and 'rang' the bell.
I especially like the rotisserie idea, that's a smart way to get things done!
I'm here now , twiddling my thumbs, waiting for part 6,...... Hahahaha!
hahaha you could always watch parts 1-4 in the mean time :D Thanks!
@@mcremona I thought of this, but then thought ,...well once I've read the last chapter in a book, why go back to the first LOL......all the same I think I
will do this .
Cheers Matthew.
That's gonna a be a properly build trailer not like the soft crap they sell on the garages, very good job there. Keep it up and all the best.
Thanks!
nice to see the small fork truck in use
Good job. You are ambitious, you get things done.
Thanks!
This is gonna be a nice trailer for sure. I went with dual 7,500 pound torsion axles with my trailer over springs. You’ll love those dexter brakes too. Quality set of trailer hubs and brakes for sure.
I put dexter brake assemblies on my old trailer. They're amazing. Thanks!
Mr Matt, you might want to add a couple of flat straps front to rear under that expanded metal. That big of surface area will droop like a Holstein cow before very long, with the wight of your chains and binders. Lovely trailer, I'm slightly jealous.
Wow. That is one hunky trailer.
As trailers go, that's weapons-grade. Very nice welding too.
Thanks!
Matthew, That is a most excellent " Custom" trailer.I would suggest placing 4 or so pieces of flat bar steel under the chain storage area, expanded metal is notorious for failing at the most inopportune moment. Jerry
You're having WAY too much fun flipping that thing over... and over... and over. 😃👍
fillg it is surprisingly fun
that's how romans needed dough
Your neighbors don't complain about all the clankin and sawin and bangin and all the commotion you're making over there. :)
5:47. Boy you get all the good toys there. Plasma torch wow. Got the trailer on the suspension to keep it up off the ground easy quotes on working conditions. Lot of people be envious
Side line of work building specialty trailers. ?
Your Trailer is coming along well Matt
thanks!
@@mcremona You are welcome
Free tires mite please the wife, but if I speak for all....what a great milestone (not Firestone...cough cough) was the installation of those 4 beauties!!! This project is rollin' along now! :)
Who, other than Matt Cremona, would think to put a trailer on a vertical pivot?! Brilliant idea.
Your rotisserie, I think, is one of the slickest things you’ve built. One of these days you’re going to have some acreage and a shop like April and you’re going to say to yourself, why the hell didn’t I do this first.
lol been looking for a new place since 2017
I like the opening style of "oh hey! Didn't see yah there" knowing full well you walked over, set the focus and white balance, hit record then walked back around.
You know how this stuff works too well. The magic is lost on you
@@mcremona still funny , just less magical.
hard work pay's off ,great Job ,trailer look's really Good .
Pivoting along the centre line was clever, I've only seen that done using specialist jigs for car repair
Wow, extra nice design, fabracation is excellent!
Damm bro that trailer is gonna be bulletproof
Should also spin the jack 90 degrees so the pull pin is to one side, not facing the front. The first time it gets a little bit sticky and you really have to pull on it youll be glad youre working from the side instead of under the tongue with no leverage
Enjoyed this series. Damn heavy duty trailer! You may need more truck soon!
Good thing you got yourself a dually
Looks great. Only thing I may have done differently is bolted rather than welded the light cover on, for obvious reasons. A really impressive project.
thanks Rick!
All the experts are in full force.
Amazing job young man. Very impressive. Blows me away that you built this in your back yard.
Thank you!
Congrats, indeed, Matt on getting this important asset to this point!
Thanks Marty!
Your going to need a bulldozer to pull that thing lol.
Love it.
Good work my friend
I love how much this guy laughs :)
You're tossing those tools around like Diresta!
Yeah, Adam wouldn't do that.
Fantastic job as usual Matt. The trailer should handle those huge logs easily. Looking forward to seeing you complete this project.
It should handle them bigass redwood trees. The whole damn tree.
Nice welds. That thing is gonna be Skookum as frig.
Thanks Dave!
Great video, you must have some pretty cool (tolerant) neighbors 😎
Smell that? Hair and skin burning. LOL. My hair stinks when it burns but my skin doesn't smell too bad. Like a good Cajun dish. You are what you eat, they say. You are doing a great job on this build. If you ever decide to change professions, you could open a metal fab shop.
Excellent trailer - if only anything will be able to pull it - AND a load of logs!!!
I'm certain that the Titanic didn't even use as much steel as you have, but at least you'll know it's safe and sturdy.
Kudos to you for working in the snow like that too. Wait - maybe it's because you'll get the 3rd degree if you go indoors?
Regards mark in the UK
I see the comments about a Bigger Truck the Ram 3500 you have can pull this loaded with no problem, I see one thing, the Rail by the winch could be in the way, also I have by winch almost 8'' above the deck, helps pull logs without hitting the first layer of logs on the deck, also I have two location for snatch blocks. But I like your work so far. Cant wait till you install the Arch.
Ok I feel that I should point out that the welds on this trailer alone weigh more than the other trailer.
hahahaha amazing
That trailer is going to be a beast! You’re going to need a bigger truck to haul it!
Bigger than his dually? Nah
mwilliamshs joke dude 🤦🏻♂️
It was fun watching a young man with skills the normally I don't see anymore
I think I would have painted the underside and waxoiled the box sections whilst it was still on the rotisserie. Unless you're paying someone else to do that in which case it is not your problem.
You do seem to be good at finding solutions to moving heavy things by yourself, it's a very versatile skill.
Hi,
Really great job.
Hat of.
Willy from Belgium.
😊😊😊
Thank you!
Nice "clapped out Bridgeport"!
Enough steel to make a tank. Nice.
You’ll be Making Money with your New BadAss Trailer!
Very nice piece of work there Matt
ok...now i watch...Matts show is always good. Love the heavy steel work.
I Can't Help But Look At It... It's Such A Pretty Blue!
When Lindsey asked how much the tires were, I was thinking around 300.. I’m just glad she didn’t ask about the brake system, axels, and mag drill.
😁 we have an ongoing thing about her having no idea how much things actually cost. Taking her to buy a car for the first time was entertaining
@@mcremona GD Broads. Can't live with em, can't smother them in their sleep. What to do?
Except I would be very surprised if Lindsey does _not_ read these comments...
@@RolfMikkelson Mathew's downfall :(
Hey Matt, I noticed you were talking about wiring the lights a little bit. You may want to add some welded on wire hangers, just little chunks of rod to tie your harness to while you can still pick the trailer up and it’s unpainted. Just a suggestion, love the build!
Gnar Overkill 👍 I converted a 7k lb car hauler to a log hauler equipped with a 17.5k lb winch and 300 ft of cable... we'd winch up to 4ft diameter trunks right up onto it with much rigging and a converted snowplow blade as a ramp. Nearly destroyed the poor trailer 😂
GOOD JOB MATT
You'd need a big truck to tow this trailer. Lol. It'll be so heavy. Lol. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🇦🇺
Cathy Benson I was thinking the same. Lol: maybe a diesel?
@@trebor66n2 he has one
He has a new Dodge with dual wheels on the back. I'm sure that can handle it. 😀@12:26
👍👍👍👍
Really great job. Just my 2 cents is one thing that I would have done would be to use weldable primer between all the metal so it does not rust in the snow, salt, etc.
It was too cold. thanks!
Me wanting to build my next bobcat trailer... see's the mag drill... Me reconsidering my priorities in life! Love this whole series and the rotisserie might actually be my favorite part.
Very nice job...!!!
I guess it's a trailer for a battle tank. I hope you have a tractor to pull it...!!!!
Looking damn good. Very impressed with the built quality as a fabricator. The turning stands are a most excellent idea. Looking forward to seeing your log loading solutions.
Fit and tack some rigid conduit in protected places to run your wires. Dragging a trailer around like that in the places that you go to would shred most trailer wiring jobs the first time out.
Even that deer had to come over and check it out. I think it's deer approved now.
Good series.
Thanks!
The trailer looks very solid. good work!!
Nice job Matt... Very nice.
Free tires... hahahah! many years ago, when I was just a young buck, someone hanging around at work said "Someone's gotta do it!".... One of the older guys pins this guy to the wall with just a stare... And then he says "No no no... Someone's gotta PAY SOMEONE to do it....." There's a lotta deep truth there.....
Anyways, I'm reminded of a comment on one of your videos, had to be at least a year ago, someone seemed to be implying that you were "killing it" on lumber sales, because "you got the logs for free"....
Which, I watch this video, and I chuckle.... Sure, a 3500 series 4x4 truck, a big custom made trailer, winches, chains, straps, gear.... Yeah, after you unload 60k from your wallet, yeah, I guess you can go get "free" logs.... Not sure "free" is the right word there.....
Most people only think in terms of revenue. There’s a certain irony when it comes to free logs though. Thanks Patrick!
I just recently used that corner to corner technique using strings (that you showed on the bandsaw mill) to make sure two pieces of metal are coplaner and it worked great! I’m modifying my utility trailer a little to make it more organized, moving the spare tire and putting a huge tool box on it.
Awesome!!
i think that your just very cool ! most people cant even wipe you know their own ? good ole american spirit ...looks really great keep up the good work ! it only last till you break it . but if it dose just weld it back and keep on keepin on ..!
Looks sharp, good work Matt!
Thanks!
I used to work for the foundry that cast those hub and drums for Dexter axle. Trailer progress looks good!
I wish I had your skill as a steel fabricator and wood worker and I am sure you have many other talents. God sure has blessed you. I love your mini tractor.
thanks!
Very stout looking trailer, but a bit too cold out for my liking haha 👍🏼
🥶🥶🥶
Nice job, that's how I build everything out of wood or metal, extra HEAVY METAL/DUTY!
Great job on the trailer. Just a thought on that light bar channel. 1/4 inch or more tends to be too thick for pop in lights with grommets.
Thanks! The light bar channel has a web thickness of about 1/8”
I like the extra things you do with storage and winch supports. You know you could share some of that snow.
You are equipped! 👍
Great Buck shot Matt!
Matt, you really know how to make a log roll. Very we thought out plan on this trailer build. Getting close to done. I have a trailer that I bought for 650.00 14 years ago. I have made it solid floor and 4 foot high sides that i set up to have a fixed tarp much like a side kit on a flat bed semi. Us truck drivers carry everything to the house. Its painted black but my wife calls it the golden chariot. Your wife talking of the price of tires made me think of my wife's name for our trailer.
Great idea build
Trailer looks great. Think the winch plate is a little under engineered but the project as a whole is well done
You managed to do a hell of a lot more than I could do in 27 minutes!!! Well done You!
Thanks!
awesome trailer
And we have touch down of the MC log hauler I. One small step for MC, one giant leap for MC's woodworking endeavors. Keep keep'n it real man. It's what makes you (and your channel) who you are.
Thank you!
Very impressive.
My hat’s off to y’all that work in snow like that.
Nice and heavy trailer. I think I would have put a straight axle in instead of a drop axle but that's my opinion 👍, good job.
Nice buck!
Man, you have the coolest toys!
hahaha I used to not :D
Well, it's not luck that got you here.
Every time someone tells me that I am lucky, I tell them the harder I work, the luckier I get...
I agree with that
Great looking trailer. Not only are a master woodworker you are a very good fabricator.
Man, is there anything you cant do? You are truly the 'Renaissance Man'. Great job son, cant wait to see the final project.
Thank you!
Matt, I have thoroughly enjoyed your trailer build. Thanks for all that you have provided.
Love your work!!! Thank you for showing me which accessories NOT to use to grease wheel bearings! I have yet to find any accessory that beats pushing a palm full of WBG into a bearing 'til it's FULL!!!
I believe he is building it strong enough to drop trees right on from their stand!! ;)
if the opportunity arises, I'll be ready
Matthew. Please take the wheels and drums off and grease the bearing correctly. You grease tool is made for one bearing not two stacked. If you look at your video, there is no grease in the rollers. Yes, they will eventually get the grease, but you run the risk of damaging the bearing and the races in the process. Love your channel and I offer this for your assistance. I have run serious boat and equipment trailers all my life and I know you don't need this avoidable problem. But the project is great!!
