I'd use soapstone to make marks
For the love of fingers attached to hands put a guard on when using cutoff wheels. It's clear you never had on explode on you.
bullshit she can go get a job and buy her own minivan that's your truck
You put the angle iron on wrong
Man, would love to get my hands on a Lincoln welder like that Rich!!! My harbor freight one sucks. Also, I watched several videos of yours on doing my 24v injectors and VP44. You literally saved me thousands. I did it all myself and my truck is back to new!....with 340k miles! Thanks Rich!
One extra thing you could add to the trailer. Take some of the scrap pieces of the angle iron and weld to the sides of the trailer so you have a place to attach ratchet straps. Very helpful. Did it to mine.
8777
also add a small wench to the front for pulling your dead quad up . or other equipment. Add a swing over head arm for wench loading logs or motors on to the trailer.
@@avalonbear61 oh ya good idea trailer would flip over, even if you added legs,, to light
never had an issue with my trailer flipping over when I had legs/Outriggers even when the trailer was light.
another extra is add the legs back so he can jack it up on the side of the road for flats
Best diy trailer video on CZcams. I love how you explain everything. Zero messing around and going off on random rants about your shoelaces. Great work.
I watched the whole thing and I don’t even need a trailer... love that welding helmet need to get one of those
You don’t even weld either but still need one 😂
@@davidwalker8778 I like to use a small 160 amp inverter when I’m welding, very handy I can also use it on an extension-lead...
@@zsozso411 nice
Wise choice cutting the size way down... I had a converted pop-up to utility trailer that was still full size (6'x14'). The previous owner sold it because everyone always overloaded it. I sold it after my Dad did the same thing and bent the axle.
You can tell people that something only has a 2,000lb rating and it just bounces right off of their skulls. You have to build it so it will only hold its rating in iron or rock or your stuff gets torn up.
size dont mater you could make it 2 feet wide and over load it, just with all the comments to add to his new buggy would over load that 800Lb axcel
@@arnoldromppai5395 So you're deliberately missing the point that it's a lot easier to overload it if it's bigger. OK.
@@TheBrokenLife any one with half a brain can look at a trailer under cartage and know when enough is enough, but if your a total dumb ass they just load her up until dragen ass end is dragging and wounder whats wrong.. if one is like that they shouldnt be on the road, there is no point at all
yeah at least when I overload my truck and trailer I know I'm doing it
Sometimes you don’t know what the limit is until you cross it
No such thing as a Deboss video being "too long"! Great idea on the tailgate- wish I'd thought of it 15 years ago when I converted an old luggage trailer to a bike trailer.. that is now with my brother and has become a utility trailer with PVC tarp cover.. really enjoyed the build!
Wife: "You have to sell your truck."
Husband: "You have to move out."
We can still be together but you ain't living here 🤣
FYI, I asked my hygienist last time i went, and she told me that they send their picks in to get re tipped when they get dull. She was going to check if she had any that can't be re tipped next time I come in. Nice job on the trailer!
Exact answer I got, but my hygienist likes me!
I could really use that welder to build the flat deck and frame for my 86 toyota pickup. This truck sat in my father in laws grove for 10 years before he finally agreed to sell it to me. I also deal with salt and from the cab back is toast. I would love to turn this into the daily driveable trail rig I have always wanted.
Your channel has given me the confidence to dive into a project like this and methodically break it up and progress thru the challenges. Thank you.
I know that most guys connect the white ground wire to the trailer frame.. for a "ground"..... but I have better success running the ground wire all the way the whole length of the trailer AND to the towing vehicle via the electrical cable. We've all seen the effects of "a bad ground".... and another ten feet of wire for each rear light, IMO, is well worth the greater electrical reliability.
First timer here! after I watched the intro clip where he said and she hits you with you gotta sell your truck and buy a mini van I instantly hit that red subscribe button 😂👍🏼
You know that Halloween is coming when you start hearing a horror stories like the one in the beginning.
LOL
L
Canadian as FRIG! Start off with a Timmies, switches to sour peach candies while painting the frame, looks like ‘Cambodian Tire’ grinding disks, then maybe even Princess Auto heat shrink? Making do with what ya got, welcome to Kanuckistan!!! Great video, gotta go get me a Lincoln welder now! (Ps: we’ll ‘talk’ later about the wiring stuff 🧐😖🤪 )
forgot the recycled Maple Syrup water jug
I noticed it was Canada when I saw the Hortons cup
It looks to be an ontario licence plate when be starts painting it. I would recognize that blue plate anywhere.
I like the idea of the ramp that folds flat, always thought it was foolish to have that big sail sticking up creating all that drag.
@@christophergreen2328 You obviously don't know anything about aerodynamics. A smooth floor parallel to the relative wind would produce very little aerodynamic drag, just like they are smoothing out the bottoms of cars to reduce drag. A wire mesh floor would present a tremendous amount of drag.
Nice build, id highly suggest doing a few extra tweeks to the next build though. First the one end of the trailer floor should be left open so if you need to replace any piece of wood you can do that without cutting and re welding. Second would be to add some conduit or a channel to run the wires through keeps them from getting snagged on road debris and looks much cleaner. We used an old weight lifting bar that someone threw out for our gate hinge as that thing wont break. Also using some cut links of chain welding to the frame or rails make great anchors to tie down with. Nice detail with the video :)
"Iam pregnant sell your truck we need a van" another reason to never get married. 😂
Yep - why can't I click thumbs up on this one multiple times?
No I don't sell my truck, I sell you lol.
Or work on making more money before risking it for the biscuit, that way you can just buy the extra vehicle in case the biscuit pops out a mini you
An honest, humble man. Love this work of yours dude. Great job
I use butt connectors with a little dielectric grease in the end (she likes it that way) and then some shrink tubing. Never a rocket failure!
How to build a trailer? Start with a trailer...
connor perry lol....start with a shitty representation of a trailer too.
Well I am sure you could fine a shitty frame to start with, If not, And you want to follow this video, Just build the frame, It shows it in the video, just grab some square tube and angle stock and get to it.
right lol
Yes, it is much less expensive to rebuild an inexpensive trailer than it is to build one buying the materials at retail. I built my by cutting down a boat trailer I got for free. The beauty of the boat trailer is that is made from galvanized metal and is built to go in the water. My trailer frame is 40 years old and still looks new.
yeah I was pretty disappointed. Got through that intro just to see a frame already there. wtf.
I've been wanting to build a welding table for a while, would like to see your idea of a useful one. That would make a good project for your new welder. Enjoy the videos, keep them coming!
Tent trailer frames are awesome for light duty trailers. We always scrounge them for using behind the quads or the side by side. Hell, they even come with a suspension to soak up the bumps.
Like the tip about grooving out. For addition weld surface area.
Love the shameless plug for the tape boss
Where at?
@@chevymontmarlo anytime he messures for a cut, bud
@@austinkelley5614 mk
The 2016 Chevy Silverado with 6.2 LTZ engine still running good. I wrote to you back in 2016... Thanks again for recommendation. I did however get that module to convert it to full time 8cyl. and i'm looking to put a 3.5" lift on it... THANKS!!!!!
I've seen Andrew Camarata also use those lights on trailers, he says they are far less likely to get damaged than other lights that stick out a lot. He also uses an airless paint sprayer (Graco, not sure if they have those in Canaderp) for painting, seems to make painting a lot faster and easier. This is awesome, keep up the great work!
i used 2x2x1/8 square tube, cap the ends to keep the rust out, some 3/4 plywood for the floor and ramp/gate, 2x4framed 1/2 plywood walls 2x4 stakes, paint all the steel and the outside and bottom of the wood but use water seal on the inside so paint chips don't get mixed into the bulk materials you carry. I recommend the 8 bolt axle or shorten one of those mobile home axles. Pallet for bed, bicycle wheels, 2x4 tongue, duck tape hitch, cardboard and shrinkwrap side panels, Propane lanterns for tail lights.
9:42 turn the gas on.
Thats a super video just gave away a twin wheel trailer to my mate for a swap for an old 3 bay motorcycle trailer, don't get me wrong he did better this time but we swap all the time, and this time hes up, an no fairer a chap to deal with, the trailer arrived this morning, and your fold down rear door is a brilliant idea, your video over all has to be the best on CZcams.
Cheers from Ireland 👍👍👍👌.
Thank you so much. I had never thought about trailer tents as a way of buying a cheap trailer. Genius!
I actually had a boat trailer that I converted to a utility trailer, but I didn't have a welder anywhere near as nice as that one. I had to make do with the harbor freight special lol. That lincoln would've made that build a piece of cake.
I bought a new 14 foot utility trailer about a year ago and I couldn't figure out why they had so much movement in the hinges on the rear gate. Watching your video and how you built the hinges so the gate would lay flat made me think so I went out and sure enough the gate on my trailer is designed to lay down flat. I bought the trailer from a local farm store I doubt any of the employees even know it was designed to do that.
Now that I know I will be laying it down when the trailer is empty.
Love your videos keep up the great work
Man.. I love the intro.... so funny. I haven't even watched the main part of your video, but you automatically get a like and subscribe. Well done...
I have an old Lincoln Weld Pack 100 Mig from 1996. It still works but I am looking to upgrade. This welder would be great for tube bumpers on my 99 Dodge Ram, jigs and of course, because of you, I now want to build a trailer. Thanks for the video.
Found your vid quite by accident but very happy I did. The 29 minutes proved that time does indeed fly. As a complete novice, but hoping to build my own trailer as I migrate to Chile (from Taiwan) this weekend, this was an amazing guide. Will definitely have a look at your other vids, and you deserve my subscription. Again, thanks so much for a humorous, detailed but obviously not pedantic vid. January 13th (2022). Taiwan
Still in high school and my collection of tools is pretty small, but a welder like that would greatly enhance my fabracobbling abilities. Love the videos
I need one of those Lincoln welders to build stuff with my 78 year old mom. Shes a tough ole girl. We need to build some railings for her and metal art.
I would love to build a trailer from scratch. Currently going to school for welding I haven't gotten to the mig part currently doing tig welding. I can just image how helpful that welder can be in a home shop
was recommended, watched, liked and subbed. I miss welding.....don't do much now, got an old Miller tombstone stick welder that need some tlc and new 220 outlets in my garage. one day...anyway, great vid and cool channel. keep gettin them hands dirty.
Mark in Wisconsin.
I use truck bed coating to paint a trailer it holds up well to salt also
I put that stuff on everything!! can't beat good ol polyurethane
pro 15 is far better
That was a great job on making that trailer with the fold flat gate . The welder would help me out alot on finishing my truck because my Lincoln welder just got stolen off a friend of mine 🤔 but I guess it was my fault for letting him use it. But it would help me with patch panels, cab mounts, making bumpers. Keep up the great work and God Bless you and your family. I love your channel. 💯👍👍
This is awesome!!! I built a trailer out of a rusted jonboat trailer frame for roughly $400
Trailer came out mint. We have made gate hinges similar to yours in the past. I like yours better. It came out great. I like yours better also because it has paperwork we did ours as a home build. I like the welder too I've got a small miller for my tig I like that it is all in one that rocks. Great video.
I modified a bought trailer of similar design, so that the ramp becomes
an extension of the trailer, so I can now haul 12ft lumber, ect...it
used to fold in, but hinges were above the deck plane, & like You
said, the deck of My mower would hook the hinge, unless the ground was
higher where the ramp landed, so I cut them off & lowered them flush
with the deck, but will no longer fold inside, Your T-design hinge
would have worked nicely to retain that feature,,,,,but think I can live
without it too, or just lay it back for any long trips if I was really concerned about gas guzzling, & it doesn't obstruct
the taillights, plus also added appropriate reflectors to the back &
sides of ramp to hopefully satisfy the DMV....
Peace Out.....& Beyond
Also, I absolutely buy all my tools with the idea that I am saving money through DIY vs hiring the work out. 12 years or so and I think I have just about all the basics. Still wanting a router, drill press, and my own welder. I have some great welders at work and can do home projects pretty much whenever, but I'd like to start doing welding on the side independently
Did you ever get that welder?
I do a lot of welding with a lincoln stick welder mostly mild & thick steel .But when need to do thin metal welding the mig -pak would do a better job and it would able me to weld alum. would work great for me.
Ha I have an old tent trailer in my yard that's just for this project. Now I know how I'll do it. And when your wiring a trailer always remember "green to the grass and yellow too pass" learned that at trade school. Thanks for a great video
I welded and fabricated horse trailers from raw materials to a complete frame 10 ft to 50 ft goosenecks loved that job
It didn't drag on too much. I found it both entertaining and educational. Thanks for sharing.
Man, I cannot thank you enough for this outstanding video. I just found your channel and subscribed and liked. You are the MAN.
A great video on the trailer . I have taken a welding class at a vocational school years ago and have a Lincoln wire feed welder that I have had for several years . I don't do a lot of welding, just things for myself once in a while. You learned me a couple of things and watching the video was well worth it . Keep on making more videos and be careful and stay safe .
As always, Jeffrey from Lawrence County, Kentucky .
Safety is very important. 👍🏽
Why didn't you put your tail lights on the back upper walls by your tail gate for better viability?
"Cut it at a 45 to impress the neighbors " haha 😄
Wheel location with respect to the bed is a key design element. I notice that this trailer had trailer jacks in the back which he cut out when he removed the sides. These jacks were needed since the wheels look like they are roughly in the middle of the bed, likely to reduce tongue loading. However, this location makes the trailer more prone to tipping if not hooked up to a vehicle and someone goes to load something on it. This is due to the weight between the axle and the hitch and the weight between the axle and the back being nearly equal. So, any added weight could tip the trailer. A key part of trailer design, to me, is this balance between acceptable tongue weight and stability. It's a calculation thing where you look at the normal trailer loading, tongue load, allowable axle load and the torques involved.
And, yes, I've designed trailers which have performed great. My nephew is an AWS certified welder who fabricated them.
I do like the ramp/gate design - good job!
Great video and love all your videos, I am just about to start a big project. I am moving from Arizona to Arkansas where my wife and I will be building a house, shop, barn, and other buildings from scratch on our 10+ acres. I could really use a new welder, I am ashamed to say I have a old “blue” welder that is falling apart and hardly works, plus mine doesn’t do aluminum or Tig which I really want to learn. Keep up the good work and thanks for all the great videos. John
You're in Ontario!!!! I get excited when I see other Ontario people. 👍🏼
Yellow matches paint in middle of the road, green matches grass in the ditch. That's how I remember it anyways. That welder would be nice for welding in some patch panels on my next project!
Just a comment about video length. Several times in this video you mentioned that you were worried the video was getting too long. Stop worrying about it. If I'm going to watch a video about building a trailer, whether it's 30 minutes or 90 minutes I'll still watch it. So just do your thing and not worry about time. And thanks.
You get married, your wife tells you she's pregnant and you're going to have a kid, and... you have to sell your truck and get a minivan! 😵🤣
Nice work. Yes you can do much more with it and get fancier but we get the idea. Good job. Thanks
First time viewer: good job man . That’s awesome something from nothing. You rock for sure. Keep on keeping on.
I’m a woman and this was more relaxing and rewarding to watch then going shopping. I have a trailer that I just got, it needs some work and this was so peaceful to watch, I forgot why I was watching it for in the first place😂
Excellent Craftsmanship!
Well done!
I have a bunch of projects on the go and I just finished welding school in Peterborough so now I’m trying to find a nice good quality and good priced welder to go with my new knowledge.
One of the best videos on CZcams! Loved this!!!
Outstanding! Very educational. Anyone could attempt this build. Go Lincoln. DeBoss is the Man!
Great idea to up-cycle an old pop-up. I'm preparing to build a car rotisserie and that welder would be just what I need. Great video.
Did you check out our video on making a rotisserie? czcams.com/video/-kExeVj5Tbo/video.html
cant tell if you enjoyed making this video or not but it was very interesting and something i will plan on trying before next spring comes around. always appreciate your knowledge.
I’m impressed. Using a stick welder as an exothermic torch with pretty decent results. That shows ingenuity and skills. Well done!
Sorry, but we learned that in high school. All we had were Oxy-Acetylene and stick welders. MIG and TIG were only for the pros back then.
I have a 93 first gen cummins. I made a deal with my wife to keep my truck and for her to bother with the mini van . ah family life :)
Love to have that welder to make a flat deck on my rig .looking forward to your videos .
You know I’m a true Canadian when I can tell how old the video is by the lid on the Tim hortons cup. Lmao.
I work on big trucks and fab. at work all the time , but at home only have a Lincoln AC/DC stick welder that works well , just never have went and bought a mig- welder . PS good job on trailer , I have build many of them and you do them wright because you name is on them every where they go ! God bless
I did the same thing with a camper trailer,,, I wish I had watched this first , some of you designs are cool and I wish I had done it that way,, oh well, metal .. I can change it .. thanks for the video..
I liked this video more than most.i learned a lot.and it had alot of welding which is always relaxing.i work on cars every day for the last 30 years so i like the semi truck and tractor videos.i dont get to see that stuff usually.
Expat; moved to Canada and married a chick who said I could never buy a mini-van or a truck. Bought a house, bought a Jeep GC Diesel. Started renovating said house, wife eventually says sell the GC and buy a truck; bought a truck. Used absolutely no mind control, played the long (4yrs) game.
Holy guacamole! That truck story is exactly mine! Except she left be for sancho and I had to buy a trailer to move in with my buddy... we might be cousins separated at birth like all those guys in Missouri that have the same mom that’s also they’re aunt! Anywho there is some useful information here as per the regular for your videos. Doesn’t seem all that cheap in the end when you account for almost free steel, rod, oxy, acetalyn, lights, paint, decking, stain screws/bolts, tongue jack, hitch coupler, axle, bearings, wheels and tires, labor, and the pain in the ass it is to title and register a home built trailer. But I guess you did score a free dental pick! So that’s handy
I wish I had a quarter of your talent... Great video
WELL done! I like the way you made the tailgate. Ingenious!
That welder will do great penetration on that thin steel hell iv got a Lincoln 100 iv done half inch with flux core. 0.030 those Lincolns do amazing work
I've been looking for this exact video. Have my own popup trailer I'm converting. Thanks so much. (Also an Ontario boy, the salts a killer)
NICE. l already found a scrap trailer to start. I am probably going to try this with my Weldpak 100HD.
Great video!
Thanks
The ratchet strap spot is a must and using galvanized metal should be avoided without proper protection for sure
A mig gun is so doggone good for these types of builds/repairs.... Hard to beat thanks for this tutorial..
(I ain't a Lincoln fan but good show here).
I just loved a honest and straight forward video/ no b s a cool project any weekend handyman can build 👍
This is a good video I don’t know why it only got 300k views for me this should have like 3 to 5 million views in my opinion
Step # 1. Follow Canadian Building Code A. Always start with a trailer already built when building a trailer. Great finish job. Nice welding. Well done video. Many thanks EH?
Smart man! I see you use the air supply respirator. There are so many videos with guys welding with no respirator and it short sleeve shirts. I think that's so irresponsible . We adults have to take in consideration that there are kids looking at these videos and we have to stress that if you're going to weld, you must use all proper safety equipment. That's the number one thing I learned in Weld School many moons ago.
I watched your video. Friend, it's well made, well explained, pretty simple, easy to understand, informative and professionally done. In short, congratulations, it's a good work my friend.
This trailer turned out mint! Looks pretty good, almost better than a store bought one! I may have to go hunt for a leaky popup camper now...
I used to use my grinder without the guard, until I had a disc shatter. Also don't grind with cutting disc use grinding disc easily tell apart ones thin ones thick. Also wear dust mask's, dust kills.
this kind of video rules! thank you!
Make sure to grease up the plug before plugging into the light. Otherwise willl corrode quickly
Nice build out I do a fair amount of camping in private campgrounds in the US and ive noticed a lot of old pop ups in their long term storage that look like they are abandoned by the owners usually the tags are expired and they are pushed into the back of the lots i like vintage campers so i almost always look in the storage lots generally in the back of a campground property i specifically look for older Airstreams
I like the Sliding tee Hinge Nice Job ! Time to get filthy
Putting some more pipe on the side would help you lock it in place when using the ramp as a table top.
The lie flat gate so that when it gets leaves and crap in it you can drive a 100 mph and blow it out.
I wanna get into welding and that would be perfect for my aluminum boat with the aluminum spool attachment I’ve been looking for a cheap welder but winning that would be awesome
I think it's cool that he has superpowers to teleport when welding
Got an 87 Ranger 4x4 that's asking for custom rock slider bumpers with an integrated winch and deer guards. Will put a flat bed on her too.
That is, once I get the top end rebuilt here soon.
hahaha i always wonder how i finish your whole video cause i normally dont watch all the way through most videos... Anyhoot, aweomse work! Keep up the good work and if you have an extra welder, send it my way! I'm building feeders for my cows soon! Thanks
My dentist would like to talk to you! LOL 😂
Very nice. I particularly like your hinges, I need to remember that when I get around to modifying my trailer.
That would be a good replacement for my 1980 Miller 35 in my class shop.
Great Job and I did the same myself to haul stuffs with my Neon LOL. If it were only 50x100 inside the rails it would be perfect for drywall and stock lumber
