Building The Main Frame and Welding Spring Perches // Scale Trailer Build Ep2

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Today I started on the deck of the trailer! I used some 1/2 x 1/2 inch square steel tube and 16 ga. steel for the frame. I also made spring perches for the leaf springs that I welded to the axle housings. Thank you all for the support on the last wpisode of this build! It made me really happy to see that you all enjoyed it so much!

    When I build things, I have trouble by thinking that I can’t do it.... but watching you build those axles and deck, you make it so easy, I now believe that I can do it.... thank you and keep up the good work

    Not sure how old you are kid, but there's nothing wrong with your work or welding. Awesome work (axle build video too). You are outbuilding guys twice your age.

    A little off subject but one thing I found handy for the Kurt milling vise is the all steal 5 spoak clamp handle. No more pinched thumb, and you can use both your arms! I drilled a dimple on the 5/8" hex and clamped the handle on with a set screw.

    Yeah I think I will talk my dad into getting one, seen some other people using them and they look nice. I have already gotten pinched a couple times using it so I am sure it will be a good investment. Thanks for recommending it!

    A small thing you can make in house is alignment keys for the Kurt vise. If you do that you will never have to dial in your vise again and it will be impossible to knock your vise out of alignment.

    Hwy 49 RC hey thanks for getting back to me I appreciate it bro, I’m thinking of making my own 1:10 trailer for my redcat gen 8 and I’m not really good at welding that’s why I asked, I think it’s called TIG welding what your doing but I’m not hundred percent it looks a bit easier than a stick welder or an auto feed wire welder that I’ve used before.

    So you brazed it together welding requires electricity

  • @Hwy49RC

    @Hwy49RC

    Nope I welded it. Heat is part of the list of requirements for welding, and electricity is one way of generating that heat, just like a gas torch is. The other requirement for welding is that two puddles of molten material join to form a single coherent pool that, when cooled, molecularly joins the two pieces. Brazing on the other hand, which I have also done, is heating the two pieces until they are hot but not molten and applying a filler that more or less "glues" them together. Because of that brazing a brazed joint is much weaker than welded one, but both processes have their uses. If you cut those joints open, you would see that they are in fact welded. Hope that clears things up a bit and thanks for watching! Cheers!
