    Anthony, I saw you have a Miller Trailblazer. I'm a certified Miller service center and wanted to give you a tip. Never jump start a Trailblazer new or old. If it has a dead battery make sure the ignition is in off position. Remove battery and replace it. When you start it with the new battery, verify that it is charging at 13 + volts to make sure the voltage regulator works. It could save you a couple thousand in repairs. I see this frequently.

Or did you drop the hole so water wouldn't be trapped in your enclosed frame? Because if you just drilled a hole in your BOAT trailer, you now fill it with water every time you launch your boat.

    I watch a lot of welding videos to learn and the thing I like about this one is that it is more typical of what I end up working with... rusty metal in the dark welding in whatever position I HAVE to weld in (though I do confess in my earlier days to actually tipping a trailer on its side to avoid welding vertical and upside down). Rarely am I welding brand new little billets on a pristine welding table in perfect temperature with perfect light and perfect hand support...
    The only thing I think I would have done different was that last angle piece you welded on top. I think I would have welded it V down (corner up) and welded both edges as I think that would have been even stronger and would have looked better. Others can chime in and agree or disagree...

    • @PasstheA1
      @PasstheA1 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      it may look better, though it doesnt actually add any integrity to your work to weld it corner up. you are only getting that trailer home at that point no amount of welding pieces of steel to the exterior of a rusted piece will absolve it of its greatest weakness.

Due to drive offs, he had to build this spiked piece of pipe to put between their tires that he would remove once they paid him. He also had to start carrying a shotgun. All because he got ripped a few times. Keep this in mind when doing roadside stuff.

    Fine job sir. That tube on the trailer tongue looks pretty thin for that size of a boat. Just my opinion I'm no engineer.
    I'm not a certified welder but I weld decent and often. When I weld thicker plate to thin wall tube, I aim my rod mostly at the thicker steel and "whip" it into the tube real quick so I don't burn through. I can see there is good penetration, but if anyone who reads this is a pro can you please advise me if this technique is no good?

    My only suggestion would be to do a 100% weld - stitch welding it strengthens it but doesn't keep water out.
    As it is, water WILL get under the patch and start to rot it out again and not be visible and since it gets submerged it will get soaked under the patch and it is salt water (looks like it anyway).
    After all, it did already rot out from the water it was in.

    Where did you buy the thing for the eye? I find it very useful for when I get metal in my eye

    How do you make the judgement on what steel thickness to use. I assume the trailer originally was a thicker and of course box. But as a patch how do you insure that what you've chosen is going to be strong enough to withstand not only trailer weight but in this case the weight of a boat and the abuse of road travel?

    Nice job $500 is about what I would charge for that not a big job but an emergency call. I recommend if you can trying to get on with a fleet so you don’t have to take all those random calls. I do mobile repairs for a couple of the state organizations here and now that’s all I do cause it pays more then enough sometimes there are weeks where I don’t have a single call. Sometimes I have five in one night though so has it’s ups and downs.

    Lowe's is good. Where else can you buy metal in an emergency after sundown.

    Is there a reason for putting the angle on top the way it was? I agreed putting it up there helped structurally but the way I was thinking was setting the two legs down so the point was up, for aesthetics and structure or was it a "more welding area" scenario?
    Keep up the great content, been watching for a while

      The angle is better for the same reason I beam is better than a piece of flat steel. The vertical section provides stiffness in that axis. Get a piece of long flat metal, bend it one way and it folds by hand. Try bending it the other way, good luck.

    A lil tip i picked up from a friend that doesnt ever wear saftey glasses is if you get metal in your eye, you can put a little magnet in a rubber glove and gently rub it on your eye. Its kirda a last resort if you cant wash it out, but it might save you a trip to the emergency room and the mass of money that comes with that trip. if you leave it in it will actually rust in your eye, the white of your eye will turn yellowish (he had some pictures of when that happened to him, the bit that caused it fell out like a month later without any permanent damage luckly)

    I’m thinking about starting to do mobile welding, I’ve been doing welding for 2 years but I’m just a little nervous to start off. If there’s any tips you could give me I would appreciate it!

    Need to hit up the large welding shops in the area. I befriended A guy and brings me all the scrap I need. They scrap anything under 4’.
