    There are very few people that would take the time to put out a video that shows so much detail. Thank you. You said it wasn't Hollywood quality. Well, it didn't have to be. You did any awesome job. Aces!

    These type of guys are priceless. No amount of money could beat the quality of building it yourself. Well done. Great build. Trailer will outlive the truck most likely lol

    Seriously? Who would thumbs down this video? Two thumbs up man! You're awesome. Thank you so much. I need a firewood hauler and don't have money to spend on an expensive trailer. I now have a nice project very soon.

    I've fixed dozens of trailers that were bought from HOME DEPOT or LOWE'S. They're mass produced. I've been welding and fabricating for over 37 years and I'll have to say you broke everything down and explained it in lamens terms that anymore will understand. Great job on the build. Great video 👍👍. Anyone who wants to know why welders charge so much to build something or repair something, now know why the price might be higher than YOU thought, I'd refer them to this video.

    Very nice! I've been wanting to build a trailer, and now I know basically what's involved. When I get ready to start building, I'll probably need to come back a couple of times to get more details. Your trailer is every bit as good as one of those Lowe's trailers, and THEN some. In fact, your trailer is worth much more than a comparable "Corner Store" trailer. Thanks for the video.

    Great job. I built a 5x8 using 2x3 tube 40 years ago. After a few years I cut the front off and added 2’. Still using it today and do not want to sell it. Build something good and it lasts for years. Heck I am 75 years old now and I built it 50 years ago not 40.

    Never mind Hollywood you still deserve an Oscar. One point about bearing seals. If you are not using a press to install seals smear grease inside where the garter spring is located, using a hammer can often jolt the spring off the seal and you may not be aware that it happened. Excellent and professionally explained.

    Thanks alot for your video , I was able to build this in 2 days , just waiting to get it vin inspected ! I have a Lincoln 180 MiG, I had to rotate the trailer to flat position welding multiple times but other then welding in flat position it was smooth , I did have to preheat the 3" channel with a blowtorch to get it melt effectively !

  • @metalheadboxful
    @metalheadboxful 10 років тому +1

    great job... I'm building one for the same thing... the threaded rod for the hinge is actually better for some light duty applications... it allows lube to stay longer because of the ridges rather than a smooth surface that will allow it to just run off.... thanks for the video!!!

    Awesome trailer. Much better than anything you can buy in any of the big box stores and probably for about the same cost or even less. Thanks for the free plans too! I'm gonna build your 6x10 trailer. I have a beat up 4x8 that I bought at Harbor Freight that I have to remove the stake sides on it to get a full sheet of drywall or plywood on it and the load limit on it is pretty low too. This trailer will fit my needs perfectly. Probably build 2 of them to fit different functions. Also gonna see how I can make one into an end dump.

    The way I pack bearings without making a mess is I put them in a zip lock baggie with a big blob of axle grease. Seal it up and you can work the grease into the bearings without getting it everywhere.
