Matt, I have a very good tip for you. Buy a good clear face shield. Those thin cut off discs are no joke my friend. it's not a matter of if one will shatter it's WHEN! I'd like to hear some other posters chime in on this. This is a very important safety necessity when using thin cut off wheels. Heavy work gloves are a must for those as well.

Nothing like the sound of a welder with the proper settings.

I know this series is a old and you've probably heard this before by now, but a little tip (I fit and weld structural stuff for a living) when you're coping anything like channel, beams, tube, anything, to fit inside another like you're doing at 2:14, round off the inside corners of the cope. When you have a sharp 90 degree corner like that you're much more prone to cracking, even if theyre fully welded. Especially so on something like this that's sees a lot of load cycling, impacts, and vibration. I wouldn't be surprised if now that it's been 3 years since you've built this you had a crack or two in that joint

This guy thought process is amazing. I would have never thought to put it on that pivot point to flip the trailer around, to make welding easier on yourself. Hands down phenomenal.

My back hurts just watching you. You have so many talents. Looks good.

How you flipped the trailer at the end was fantastic mate! Awesome idea man!

Building one hell of a beast of a trailer, awesome

Wow... That spin set-up is genius! Can't wait for the next video!!!

Great work! Thanks for taking the time to make, film, edit and share.

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey, merry Christmas, God bless you and your family

Aaah, the wonderful world of rotisserie welding. Makes life so much easier.

Excellent job

You never cease to amaze me, Matt!! Almost as adept with metal as you are with wood.....and I think that's probably only a matter of time!! Really enjoying the trailer build. Take care! :-)

i was a welder for the railroad out here in wyoming and EVERYTHING we welded was GMAW (mig w/ gas). can be as strong if done correctly.

Worked for an outfit at sold Refrigiwear 50 years ago. Glad to see it is still relevant and has been updated from the old green it use to come in. Pretty slick way of rotating that huge frame.

I like your skills .... People just try to find a way you can make one 😂

Great video and Merry Christmas!

I personally like a chain tube for safety chain mounts, i.e. 2inch pipe or tube bent into a radius, then cut a hole in each 50 degree frame tube on center. Put tube thru both tubes and weld all 4 sides at tubes. Tempered chain goes thru. 1/2 inch bolt thru on center to hold chain on center. This way you arent compromising chain temper by welding, as well as not counting on shear strength of welded mounts for chain. Chain tube is integral part of frame, chain goes thru. If hitch gets loose from vehicle then it is the best connection, no compromise of strength. Dont forget, ALWAYS criss cross chains under tongue so the chains cradle the trailer securely and keep it pulling on center. Fabulous fab job Matt !!

Thanks for sharing that

Matt, you never cease to amaze me, you remind me of my son. He is always working on something (he loves working on his race car), he built a nice cabin home on the lake side from an old 1930 chicken coupe, remodeled and old farmhouse that he is living in, rewired it, with a little help from friends and family.. I don't know where he gets all his knowledge to do what he does without going to college and you are such a hard worker and enjoy what you do. Keep up your great work and dream. Have a Blessed Merry Christmas with your family. God Bless

From an old pipeline welder, and welding foreman, Nice job! I like the fact that you tack with MIG, but weldout with Stick. Looks like E7018, and very well done at that. Looking good! Great video!

If you keep it in this setup you can use it as a giant rotisserie, for buffalo or something.

Looking great Mr C!

Merry Christmas to you and your family & keep creating your stuff the way you like. If you want it do be done good or the way you want it, you got to do it yourself. Also, everything can be learned (if you want to)

Nice stands. I used to use a larger, heavier version of something similar when I first began welding semi-trailer frames. an inverted angle iron with 2 pieces of flat bar welded across work well for a top clamp. you can weld 2 studs vertically that project upward through the flat bar, along with large washers and grade 8 nuts to snug the turning "pin" down so it doesn't move on you while you are welding as well. Nice work.

Love your videos, your stick welding looks as good as tig welding, very impressed.

Hello Mr Matt, probably the best trailer building video on you tube yet. Being able to pivot the trailer single handed is where you won me over. Very impressive and you certainly work smart. I also like the drill shavings extraction. Points for overall smart working and safety. Thanks again.

You may want to add support to your inert gas bottle so it does not fall over and become a torpedo. Lots of good planning along with verified measurements is paying off. Starting square prevents compensating later.

Dad used to work in a shipyard... once in a while the yard, and the competing yard across the channel, would "launch torpedoes" at each other when the big cylinders would fall over and a neck break off.......I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that....

I seen you welding mig from bottom to top. I was taught to weld mig top to bottom and Flux from bottom to top. I welded pipe and plate that way in school and successfully bent out everything I've ever tested. Your stick work looks great.

Nice work. I enjoy moving big things too, when people ask how I did it, I tell them I used my brain.

This was very interesting.... I didnt get how you were going to spin the trailer? You are a very creative guy & I'm loving how you show us every step! Merry Christmas & STAY SAFE

Those leaf springs look so small in comparison to the rest of the trailer. Made me look up some images to compare. As many said. Good job! Both on the work, and the presentation. I hope to get a welder this spring and start experimenting.

Great welding job. Good idea on a weep hole for water drainage out of the tube but you should oblong your drain hole as water will not "weep"from a round hole. Been a welder/fabricator in the mining industry for 30 +years by the way

Matt, I bought a Refrigiwear jacket last January when I was in Omaha with a blue jean jacket with hoodie underneath as my jacket, who does that you ask? a Georgia boy who thought winter in Omaha could not be very cold (-8 plus wind chill). Coldest place on the planet. Love the trailer build.

As the guy on the infomercial says "Set it and forget it" with Cremona's rotisserie welding jig.

thank you to let me steel of your ideas for my business very creative from south Africa

for being a wood worker you sure do lay down some nice looking welds :) Happy Holidays

Well done Matt! I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with your welding plan! Very efficient, you know when to go from MIG to Stick and looks like you do well with both! One of my welding buddies/mentors used to remind me...You take something on the road, all of sudden shit just got REAL and you have to really pay attention! (Liability for one thing...) . But it really looks like you got everything handled and considered. Love the blocking to distribute the log weight too! Rotisserie was a HUGE idea for a single person operation...get you some of that Matt! Nice! :)

Subscribed solely because of well you stick weld

I'm stealing your idea for flipping the trailer over! I've been trying to figure out how to flip a trailer over for my own build and this solves it in a clever way :)

crazy crazy woodworking guys - prefer stick over mig! lol... nice build! :)

When my grandfather taught me to build trailers, he gave me the rule of thumb that the centerline of the middle hanger (or axle if it was single axle) was the centerline of the bed, plus one inch for every foot long the bed was towards the back, plus 1/8" on the passenger side to give a tiny bit of steer towards the right. I questioned him about it later, and he told me the real formula was centerline of the bed plus (tow rating of the vehicle) / (combined axle load rating), x (length of the bed in inches) to the back, plus the 1/8" on the passenger side. This would ensure if you centered the weight of the load directly over the centerline of the bed, the appropriate amount of weight would be on the hitch. His trailers weren't always perfect, but you could expect them to be loaded to the max of the axles and still pull like a dream. He could park a freshly painted trailer by the road and expect a cash offer from a local business in just a few days, and more than once had a bidding war going on.

your trailer will last forever with this materials......
