Millwright Tool Trailer
I've had a number of people that have asked for a more in depth look at how I set up my tool trailer. I am currently getting ready for a job, so I took the opportunity to capture some video of my setup.

I really respect that this trailer is not just about the work, but also has a fridge and microwave. Can’t work well if you can eat right

@@txtoolcrib Im 1 year late with comment but someone will read it. There are electric lunch boxes now on site from Ch;na. It closes fully, metal plate, and you just connect it to power and it will heat food very well. Its also not expensive, 35 euros. Its really good for workers on field.
This is super impressive, not only in terms of how well organised it is but how seriously you take your craft - I highly respect anyone who takes this much pride in their work no matter the subject

@15:13 that TP is one of the first additions I make to any trailer, truck, or van I end up working out of. Socks are expensive.
very organized,a place for everything,and everything in it's place. thanks for sharing
Great video!
Found your vid very interesting. Good rationale and explanations behind your setup. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff as I’ve just discovered your channel. Watching from Ontario Canada 😊
Very cool to see your set up. I don't know what you couldn't do with a set like this. It's also nice to hear from you, I imagine you've been busy. Hope for the best for you in Alabama.

We get quite a few compliments from other contractors. All told, it took me and a helper about 2 weeks to build this trailer out.
I was wondering if you would do a video on your recommendation for tools everyone should have at their house for basic repairs, in the car for emergencies, and maybe if they want to start their own metal/wood/DIY shop in the garage etc. I myself have been thinking about buying some more tools for the house but I'm not sure what would really cover all the basics. I have a hodge podge of things, but finally bought a decent sized tool chest. I want to fill it up, but with things we'll actually use consistently not just random socket sets, Dewalt batteries and whatever else.

How about more videos about what you use it for 👍👍👍
Damn nice 👍 subbed.👍🇺🇸👍🇺🇸
Wow...the neatest thing about your set-up is that you know how to use everything in it...do you have occasion to do maintenance on your tools & equipment? I imagine when you pack everything up you follow similar principles that are used on cargo planes...there is a "panel" on the right-hand side next to your ladders...is that a door? Good video!

How do you keep it all from being stolen? I hate to say it but so many friends have issues with tools being stolen. Thank you for the tour and your channel .

It’s something you have to be conscious about. A lot of places we work have good security. We take a lot of precautions to ensure it is not easy to steal anything.
Great setup. How do you keep track of the tools at a site? Do you put everything back on the trailer at night?
@txtoolcrib

Everything in center isle is locked up out on location, the remaining tools get locked in the trailer at night. In rare instances when we are on an unsecured site, everything gets reloaded or we rent a separate storage unit to lock things up.
Awesome setup, thanks for the in-depth tour, not sure if i missed it, but is there a certain type of millwright work you commonly do?

Love this trailer! What size square tubing did you use for your vertical wall support?
@txtoolcrib

The walls of the trailer use 1” square tubing I believe, original to the trailer. I don’t remember for sure but I think we used inch and a quarter for the shelving components.

I was quite surprised to see a dearth of items and support for same for cameras, memory cards, chargers & other impedimentia associated with your KZread videos..?! How and where DO you store snd transport these items? I'm certainly NO mill-wright, but as a retired I/T geek I'm enough of an applied technologist to know that ther's plenty enough of the items mentioned tp fill a sizeable % of that trailer. Also, what do you do for I/Net connectivity, as well as general admin. space when working out of the trailer? All that asked, I'm moved to observe that you've obviousy put MUCH thought into a damn nice rig...!
Ok a millwright needs rags
Nice set up. But the wiring you did is a horrible embarrassment.
