Hi I'm Ben. We debated about miter saw placement over this very concern. Im 51 years old with bad shoulders. Bottom line is its a struggle for me to load and unload it no matter where the hell it is. So , we stuck it up high.
Nice Job, this Resembles Ron Paulks Trailer. The cabinet and drawer box jointing is very interesting. It actually looks pretty cool in the drawers. And the numbering is what just convince me to get a CC machine. That was cool.
You guys did a great job Working on the trailer, I love the fact that you were able to do all that work in just two days, that is awesome. I have a trailer also, I am very excited to start working on my trailer.
you know, this is nicer than my whole house, my shed work shop, and my truck, haha Excellent job looks very functional and well thought out! now gotta get me a trailer that i don't actually need so i can have this lol, don't tell the wife. love this channel, se you on the next one! stay well, from Canada
I didn't want to hold Ben up too long that day as he was already taking time out to stop by before a job. If enough people are interested I'll see if he will let me go through the drawers and see how he organized everything. He used table saw dados in 5mm hardwood plywood underlayment for the dividers in the drawers. Super easy and basic.

I’m afraid you’re going to be flooded with guys wanting this setup, and trailer companies will also jump in and contact you for possible design work, it’s amazing following you all these building picnic tables to this.
Awesome trailer design two things I didn't see in yours that I have in mine is a visible first aid/eye wash station and mirror. I love the separation you have between materials and tools so that the dust and sawdust isn't constantly filing down from your offcuts on top of your tools motors.
Nice job. I like that CNC tab design. This is very simialre to Ron Paulk's trailer. He has some great features in his design like a easier drawer lock system.
Love the Big Finger Joint design on the drawers. Nice to have a CNC router to cut those out! Looks so Nice & Organized!!!! Why doesn't anybody varnish the cabinets?
My thought exactly. As a retired cop, I can say I took numerous tool/work trailer theft reports and it was so disheartening to hear of these guys that carried their whole careers around on four wheels only to have some jackass with a grinder nip the lock and clean them out. Document and insure!!!!
I worked for a contractor a few years ago. He had a box truck and I told him he needs an organization system. Everything was always piled up and getting broken. It was a chore to find something.
Jay look @ the inside Carpenter channel for how he locked his drawers from opening while driving! You can throw away those bars very simple solid solution and no it’s not even close to what you are thinking!
I understand the guy had the horse trailer already, so this design was made to accommodate that floor plan. I think there is a lot of weird angles and too many doors which leads to wasted storage space. If one was starting a trailer from scratch, it would be better to follow the Ron Paulk trailer storage designs for either the Awesome Rolling Toolbox (ART) or the Smaller Awesome Rolling Toolbox (SMART).
Correct bwillian, this setup is more for a guy that does make ready, maintenance or remodel type work ect. The rolling toolbox is a better setup for us guys that do trim ect. I do mostly custom patio kitchens so i have to setup my trailer similar to the rolling toolbox plus a rolling box that has a Shaper and Jessem router lift and 13 inch Planer and jointer for cabinets and doors
@@jeffccr3620 How you layout your trailer is up to you and your particular tool storage needs. I was more referring to using a horse trailer with the angled walls and number of doors versus using a plain rectangular cargo trailer like Ron used in his ART and SMART builds.
I chose a horse trailer for the quality of the construction compared to a standard cargo trailer. The angles did create challenges but we managed to get it pretty well organized and so far we love it
The number idea is cool assuming the tools with that number are marked the same. I could see how a crew of guys would leave that wonderful organization a complete disaster.
Looks impressive, some great ideas for a static workshop too. However, I didn't see any first aid equipment or fire extinguishers. Hopefully, they won't be necessary!
Great video. I want to see if the tile saw gets a better solution later on. A small shelf or some plywood hooks/cups to hold it then strap it. Looks like it’s just held up by cords now. Curious how much effort getting the miter saw down is too. Ugh.
Its hanging on a very strong metal hook. Honestly Its a pain in the ass to get out but we don't have to pull it out very often so it was our best solution. Its a cumbersome piece of equipment for sure.
just curious, did he happen to weigh the trailer before and after? Be interesting to know how much of the capacity he used up. Given that it's a horse trailer, I don't imagine he's anywhere close to maxing it out. Looks like a really well laid out setup. I bet just having it look that good makes a good impression on his customers.
I didn't weigh it at all but I had the same philosophy. Its designed to haul three horses. Ive had horses all my life and I dont think we've got nearly that much weight in there
Wonder if the trailer is over its GVW like every other job trailer on the road today 😂... but really what was the weigh of cabinets you put in for him?
9:11, just a tail in a box that you plug into an extension cord. I've also seen people make double male end extension cords and plug into an outlet on the trailer to transfer power thought the setup up in the video looks cleaner and more proper than the ones I've seen
I actually spent alot time trying to figure out the best solution for my external 110 hook up. Its not perfect but its solid , safe and pretty well protected. Besides if it is ever problematic I can rig something else pretty fast.
He used the 3 inch aluminium straps he was removing in the video then hung them on the shelves on the other side. Turned them into a J hook on top. Mine is similar but i used regular drawer pulls and 3\4 inch aluminum strap. If you have ever installed cyclone fence you will understand what iam talking about. Post,bracket aluminum flat rod to stretch tight ect. Only thing is Jay said it was very cold, cold weather plus glue and caulk, paint ect. in a trailer doesnt work well. I have my storage up front next to an electric oil heater i plug in at night, cabinet lined with roll flashing
@@JEC11718 I mean when you pull them out (the ones without drawer slides). Ron Paulk has a tiny stop built in that he uses, wonder if Jay did something similar
I’d call that an asterisk...a $1,750 asterisk! You’re a good man, Jay! It’s always cool when businesses and friends scratch one another’s back. 👍🏻
That's a great idea for a small shop as well...making most of space available
It would be interesting to see an updated video in about a year to see what was changed and how well the setup lasted.
Not sure how old he is, but I’m guessing getting a miter saw down off high shelf will get old. My back started to hurt just looking at it
I would rather it up there then picking it up off the ground

This is what I call a "WOW". (Workshop On Wheels).

This trailer is downright awesome. You did a great job designing, building and installing it.
This could be a business in and of itself. Really well done both by you and the contractor.
Trailer is set up and has more stuff then most work shops. Great trailer set up very good job sir.
Hi, im Ben. We do such a variety of different work, we have to have lots of stuff with us.

It's always cool to build something unique.
Nice, man! Makes me want to become a contractor just so I can get my own! Keep up the great content 👍
Great build out! I’m sure he’ll get a lot of use from it for years to come.
Really enjoyed the mini series, thank you Mr Bates

One of the drawers is full of first aid supplies including several bottles of eye flush as im digging sawdust out of my eyes constantly.
Dropping serious weight dude, congrats, looking good.
That trailer is truly epic! Fantastic job on the storage solutions bud!
What a fantastic project! I hope Ben has a robust security system. 😬🚨
Hi, im Ben. Our only security system is that the trailer is rarely out of our site.
Impressive storage and ability to have everything needed at hand.
The right side would even be great in a workshop big or small, such a cool setup and the turn around time on it was great.
Nice job. I like that CNC tab design. This is very simialre to Ron Paulk's trailer. He has some great features in his design like a easier drawer lock system.
That turned out Awesome!!! Well Done!!! Great Job!!! 😲👍😎
Very, very nice Jay!
Great build. I know some guys who would love to incorporate this build style.
Love the Big Finger Joint design on the drawers. Nice to have a CNC router to cut those out! Looks so Nice & Organized!!!! Why doesn't anybody varnish the cabinets?
Excellent work and design Jay. Thank you.
Get it insured and a full list of everything within it. My buddy had work trailer and someone stole it and all it’s contents. Devastating.
My thought exactly. As a retired cop, I can say I took numerous tool/work trailer theft reports and it was so disheartening to hear of these guys that carried their whole careers around on four wheels only to have some jackass with a grinder nip the lock and clean them out. Document and insure!!!!
Very nice! Looks like the right side has a lot more weight than the left side... hopefully that doesn't end up a problem going down the road lol
I was concerned about that very same thing. We've been pulling it around for several weeks now with no issues
Your work is very beautiful
Excellent job ,as usual.
I worked for a contractor a few years ago. He had a box truck and I told him he needs an organization system. Everything was always piled up and getting broken. It was a chore to find something.
Dang this is really nice
That is such a bad ass trailer
We are very proud of it.
Jay look @ the inside Carpenter channel for how he locked his drawers from opening while driving! You can throw away those bars very simple solid solution and no it’s not even close to what you are thinking!
Good job. Looks awesome.
forgot sticker . No Tools Left In This Trailer Over Night
Dude you have lost a lot of weight. You're an inspiration man
I thought I had a lot of chargers this guy beat me to it.😅😅😅
Nice setup!!
awesome Jay.
Интересная и продуманная конструкция мобильной мастерской👍

Nice job man.
I really like the idea of using a horse trailer you get the Heavy duty suspension Generally speaking horse trailers are pretty stout.
Hi, thanks , that's exactly why I chose a horse trailer.
Looks Great. very nice. thank for sharing..
Really really nice.
Man love all the vids #endofyearpush
🤣🤣
Hello good day! It was excellent. A great idea.
Looks like you have lost weight.
I wish the man plenty of work.
Luckily work has always been plentiful here.
Looks impressive, some great ideas for a static workshop too. However, I didn't see any first aid equipment or fire extinguishers. Hopefully, they won't be necessary!
One of the drawers is loaded with first aid supplies. Fire extinguisher is by the front door.
@@benheath86 Thanks for the clarification. Just so long as you can remember which drawer it is ...
Great job . I wish u have a plan for Cargo Van .
Thank you

Curious how much effort getting the miter saw down is too. Ugh.
Tile saw is probably going to stay that way. He said he rarely ever uses it.
Its hanging on a very strong metal hook. Honestly Its a pain in the ass to get out but we don't have to pull it out very often so it was our best solution. Its a cumbersome piece of equipment for sure.
Very very nice
impressive mobile workshop :)
sweet!
We are in and out all day everyday. Hasn't been an issue.
just curious, did he happen to weigh the trailer before and after? Be interesting to know how much of the capacity he used up.

I didn't weigh it at all but I had the same philosophy. Its designed to haul three horses. Ive had horses all my life and I dont think we've got nearly that much weight in there
Cool to see something difderant in this space. Polk's passive locking system for the drawers would be killer in this setup.
Wonder if the trailer is over its GVW like every other job trailer on the road today 😂... but really what was the weigh of cabinets you put in for him?
If you watch the video, you hear him say it is a converted horse trailer, so not likely over GVW. 7:00
The trailer is designed to haul three grown horses. I haven't weighed it , but i don't think I'm anywhere near that heavy. Pulls like a dream.
Did I see the drawers correctly, the drawer front and bottom are keyed together?
What do you tow this with, seems heavy lol
This is an impressive setup. How many people does it carry tools to equip?
Hi, im Ben. We usually just have three of us working.
This is very similar to my trailer
I love OCD level organization..... makes life so much more tolerable.....
Lol, hi in Ben. The trailer owner. My wife works with me everyday and she is OCD. We were literally calling it her OCD trailer design.
Like that drawer design. Have you used it in another design you have ?
4 so far
@@JayBates Will have to look into that. Need to build a cabinet with thin drawers and I like the simplicity of those.
Where’s part 2? I can’t see any labelling on each video
Like 😊
Windy I get, but how cold is cold down there?
Lol, it was about 40° that morning. Freezing for us Mississippi folks.
You probably mentioned it somewhere along the line, but what is the source of "120?"
The outside plug in
9:11, just a tail in a box that you plug into an extension cord.
I've also seen people make double male end extension cords and plug into an outlet on the trailer to transfer power
thought the setup up in the video looks cleaner and more proper than the ones I've seen
I actually spent alot time trying to figure out the best solution for my external 110 hook up. Its not perfect but its solid , safe and pretty well protected. Besides if it is ever problematic I can rig something else pretty fast.
How heavy is it fully loaded? 1 ton needed to pull?
We ease around locally with a 1/2 ton truck. Long distance travels a 3/4 ton is definitely in order. I knew that all along though.
How did you keep the drawers without drawer slides from coming all the way out
They are made so they can come all the way out. You can take the entire drawer to the job.
@@JayBates a special handle can be made to carry those drawers to the job site too
My only question is how does he keep the doors from sliding open during travel?
Addressed in the video..
He used the 3 inch aluminium straps he was removing in the video then hung them on the shelves on the other side. Turned them into a J hook on top. Mine is similar but i used regular drawer pulls and 3\4 inch aluminum strap. If you have ever installed cyclone fence you will understand what iam talking about. Post,bracket aluminum flat rod to stretch tight ect.
Only thing is Jay said it was very cold, cold weather plus glue and caulk, paint ect. in a trailer doesnt work well. I have my storage up front next to an electric oil heater i plug in at night, cabinet lined with roll flashing
@@JayBates Must have missed that part. Babysitting the grandson so got distracted a couple times ;)
What about weight distribution side to side, top to bottom?
What about it? It's a horse trailer. They are made for animals that shift their weight all the time. I'm sure this will be fine.
It pulls like a dream.
What stops the drawers from coming all the way out
The aluminum bars he took off
@@JEC11718 I mean when you pull them out (the ones without drawer slides). Ron Paulk has a tiny stop built in that he uses, wonder if Jay did something similar
nothing, they can be carried from the trailer to the work
Nice set up , does the contractor have Instagram or UA-cam.
Nope
Second.
You look skinny af
