Making a Neighbors trailer more useful

- My Neighbor needed some modifications done to his trailer and I’m the man for the job! In only a few hours I was able to fabricate a few parts, weld them on and make this trailer work a completely different way! These small welding jobs are always fun.

Gotta say, the outro is always my favorite part of your videos. 🤣
I would agree 💯👍🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
@@charliehuntsman9827here here !! 🍻
Dude I always look forward to it and get a chuckle 😂🤘
I agree with this statement
A while back you did a video where you bragged about matabo grinders. I only had a couple 4 inch dewalt grinders that I love but I could use a 6 inch. I was in the local weld shop and saw they had matabo grinders and I got a 6 inch corded grinder. I am amazed at how it runs. I love that thing. Thanks for the recommendation and for the content.
Oh man, I have the same Hobart Welder. Haven't had a reason to use gas mig yet but really happy with the fix core option.
Fun! I did this to my trailer a few years ago for the same reasons, and even though it was a lot of work initially, every time I use the ramps it makes me smile, it was so worth it. Really enjoy your videos, keep them coming 👍
Hey Rockstar, That was an awesome upgrade! I was wondering how you were gonna do it! Damn and it looks like you been hittin the gym in between work💪💪💪💪 Most won't even understand or comprehend the amount of work you put in on a daily basis! Keep it pegged Rockstar it can only get better!
I recognize those mountains! Wild to think I may of served you pizza and now im going to CC for welding
Nice work. I'm fabbing a new ramp system on an aluminum trailer this coming week. Your video give me ideas and I changed my plans. Ty. And I wore the same MMA tee shirt this Friday (blue).. love it, super comfortable.
its legit nice to see you've come this far tony. i've been watching your stuff for a hot minute and you keep incrementally climbing higher and higher. its good shit. keep it coming spatter monkey!
Nice job with the torch cuts. Your Handler sounds like the wire drive motor is on the way out, or not. I've got an old Miller 211 that I use for FC and it's whined since I got it 1 years ago, I keep expecting it to not work when I pull the trigger but it keeps on keeping on.
Your design and fix of the trailer is 100% better than the way it was. That was a ridiculous design having to put them in the side.
Have a great week, Anthony
Take apart the motor and regrease the bushings.
Not even a welder and I love your videos. You’re honest in all of your videos. You’re informative and also explain why you do things the way you do while still being entertaining
Still watching you from Ireland bro we have to do a test to drive with a trailer here and I passed my last month. Hope to buy one soon
Never had much luck with ramps that don't have heels that touch the ground when they're down to keep the trailer from bucking when driving onto it. I'm always hauling heavy shit though.
Well a short and sweet video great content and a brilliant outro as always .
8:10 There is a machinist tool called an edge finder there are many kinds but the one that looks like a wishbone would probably apply best to field use. But the eyeball always gets her close 😂
Look really good bro👍👌
Excelent project Anthony, best regards
Watching your videos have been very informative and inspirational to me. I’ve been welding for construction companies and now currently in water utilities at this time and have decided to start doing side gigs and try to work up to working for myself at some point hopefully 🤞🏼 I just purchased a Hobart champion 145 to not break the bank until I feel more comfortable and confident in upgrading. Keep up the great work.
Great plan brother. I wish you luck in your endeavor! I hope it brings you and yours a lot of prosperity
Pretty thin tubing there... If you are going to use obviously thin tube at least give the guy some legs on the ramp to pick up the load and stop the trailer from bucking at the hitch. Apologies for the outburst I'll go fuck myself now
It was cold rolled it will work fine but yes you know what to do
@@MeltinMetalAnthony Its too thin. They used 1/4" angle and 1" round stock for a reason. That will wear itself out from the inside and fatigue and crack. Junk.
@@NotSureJoeBauers Wear itself out from the inside? Like in 50 years maybe? How many times will those ramps be lowered and raised? At most, twice per day? And maybe not even once per week?
@@garys5175 Thats not even 1/8th inch wall tubing. The vibration from the ramp bouncing around will wear that metal down and make it brittle. The thickness isn't sufficient enough as it is let alone 5 years and 15,000 miles from now. Think about it you have 1/8th in wall at best supporting up to 5k lbs point load. You can't put enough boogers on that tubing to really call it good for the loads that trailer ramp/trailer can take. If 1/8th inch was good enough they wouldn't have used 1/4 or 3/8ths plate and 1" round stock for the original ramps.
I looked again, it is pretty thin, perhaps you are right @@NotSureJoeBauers
That thin wall tubing doesn't look strong enough to stand up to the weight it will be subjected to.
My thoughts as well
The weight is spread out enough.
Awesomeness
Great video
A well-placed foot kick solves the fine details in the delicate trailer surgery 😀. I'm sure your customer was pleased with the result. Cheers.
What is the going rate for apartment stair case. As far as tearing out the old and replacing with stair pans. Thanks like your videos
Awesome.
Fucking legend 😂😂😂😂😂 outro is amazing plus you do some kick ass work
What's the ductility on those Tartan-A rods. They seem pretty cool but that super high tensile strength makes me think they've got low ductility.
Edit: Huh, Polaris A has 33%, and Tartan B doesn't have a listed elongation specification on their website. They seem pretty cool, but it's a shame damn near everything I work on is 7018 specified.
I can appreciate the honesty in the sentiment, "if you don't like it, you can go fuck yourself". That's worthy of a subscription on its own. 😉
Consider doing a review of an ARC CAPTAIN welder. They'll give you a free welder for a you tube review.
Hi Anthony!
I’m 20 years old and I’m tossing the idea of going into the mobile welding business. I have no certifications at all. I only plan on staying as a side hustle and I only plan on doing repairs. Do you have any advice for young people like me?
Oke thing i will is instead of angle i wouldve used flat bar i know its not as strong but its lighter and easier to move around and also looks better. You couldve cut a leg of the angle with your torch wouldve been quick and easy plus you couldve rounded the edges of the flat stock so they arent near as sharp i did the exact same project for an old boss one of their work trailers
I like it.
You are a beast
Make FR welding caps for your website please!!
I have never used the rockmount rod. Could you do a comparative video on 5p+ and lincoln 7018?
If need be since you don't run it anymore, I can send you the money for the lincoln rod to compare.
Tagline is funny
Are you a veteran lol
Bro love your videos
Hey Anthony, where did you learn all this? The UA and just different jobs?
Just different jobs. I have a video from a few years back explaining how I got into welding repair and fabrication
Saftey first minions! (As i cut with a circular saw free hand!)
Even heroes need heroes an your mine
that ol boy looked like one tough customer. you got lucky good job
Nice
Love ny hat bro keep uo the great work man !!! 🤘🔥🤘🔥🔥🤘🔥🤘🔥🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲👍👍👍
Bought 2 shirts the other day and I love em
Thanks for the support!
Obvious bought and paid for

Yo Anthony can you please teach us how to run a 6010 uphill 3F 🙏🙏
U looking for welder helper or someone to train. Just asking. I can prep and weld been fab for 20years
What welding rod were you using ?

Nice beat at 5:17 🥁🪘😏
I kinda liked the video, so I only kinda fucked myself 😂😂
Dude 🤬🤷♂️
You should at least give US , the heads- up before you just go to town on a piece with a wire wheel .
So we can have a chance to put on our PPE 👨🏻🔬🦸🏼♂️🤓😎
You could have put one of our eyes out man!!.
Then how would we see how to order
A hat or a shirt🤷♂️
😂😂🤣🤣
👍👍💯✌️
How do you like those Cat pants? I've been looking at them for a bit and they seem like a good deal IF they hold up for a while. Been through Carhartt, and more recently Duluth (fire hose & flex fire hose). Looking to find some others to check out, without spending $100+ on a pair of pants that im going to destroy.... eventually? Lmk👍👌🤔💪🛠️🔧🔩📐🗜️📏✏️🧰🔗
Bro I like what you do but it seems like you over complicate everything
