i don't do woodworking, i don't weld, i don't have sawmill. yet i always look forward to your videos, for some reason they make my day. thanks so much for sharing them.
I think it's awesome the way you seamlessly work your different sponsors into your video. The way you continue to work on your project while demonstrating the attributes of the product makes your videos flow flawlessly. It's too bad more you tubers don't follow your lead.
@@mcremona Good point. I guess the devil is in the details and who you choose to align yourself with. Some people who you are very familiar with feel the need to hawk every screw, nail and tool used to affix said screws and nails. I guess that's why I stopped watching them and watch you. Thanks for the reply my friend. Stay safe and thanks for doing what you do.
From wood to metal Matt does it all seamlessly. Well done and entertaining to the non-triggered. We all enjoy tapping holes Matt. You are just like the rest of us, fascinating 'work'
Good idea to make the fenders bolt-on. if you ever carry a load that's wider than the fenders, you can take them off and the extra few inches will be welcome. At this time, you might not think you will need it, but maybe some day you will want to tow a car and open the doors or something like that.
There is no way you can be just a hobbyist! You seriously have my dream Machinist / welding shop all built into one! I am fabricating a mini size trailer (RC trailer). I welded my fenders with 1/4" steel and just welded the 22mm sheet metal on top. I just need to tac weld the inner panel and clean it up. Then paint that 👶! Next part I am doing the tongue section next. I can't believe it sucks up so much time. It's a challenge getting an 8" and 4 1/2" 1/4" square steel bar to not left up by the little magnets and get that clean 45 degree angle to be as close to perfect. Anyways, getting some cool ideas for finishing touches. Thanks for the video!
I don't think I've ever seen so much nice equipment in such a small home garage,this equipment is better stuff than I have seen in most commercial industrial shops. Kind of amazing. I'm jealous.
@@mcremona Understood. Just give the ways and screws a good coating and move them up and down a few times. You can do a lot of damage fast if there isn't any lubrication. Thanks again for the videos.
Thanks for this build series. I’ve learned a lot so far about taking into account those things we rarely think about while in the build. You know, the decisions that have unintended consequences that force us to make adjustments to the built. Your design is far more complete than mine have been, and this shows me to “ring out” the design on paper to a greater degree. That will help avoid the “flying by the seat of my pants” errors that have troubled some of my fabs. Thanks for the great channel. I almost wish I lived closer, so I could get my hands on some of the stunning lumber you mill. I’m well out in the Northwest. We’ve plenty of mills and a surprising number of urban and suburban recovery mills. But most I’ve seen don’t understand the material and don’t make the thoughtful choices you seem to make just before cutting. I know it’s still somewhat of a crapshoot. But any experienced wood cutter knows how to lay a crotch for maximum effect. That said. Nice work!
Good job Matthew, I wish you had built it just a little bit stronger 😉🤗. 👍👍 Nothing wrong with your engineering job on just what you want and need. The hauler should be handed down in lots of years ! Can’t wait to see it on its first haul. Thanks for sharing with us, Fred.
Very nice job indeed and well planned out looking very good.you are correct that the wheel arch frame will trap water and to leave a gap would trap muck and water I used black ( depends on colour ) steel silicon then bolted to frame like you have never had any problem with it looking forward to your next trailer build.😀😀🇬🇧
I thought I had a few tools,..man, you have no shortage of metal working tools there, I wish I had a mag. base drill like that one,..they're a 'godsend' aren't they? I welded my trailers fenders on,..I should have bolted them in place,...make's it a lot easier if and when you mash one!
Matty I'm not easily impressed but your videos are impressive. Your math, stick welding and general knowledge great. Tell Lindsey I agree tires are to expensive. I didn't know Minnesota had any conservative folks up there. Lol I'm from Northern Illinois but been in Mesa Arizona since 1996 and love it but spend my summers at my summer home off the Rock River. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK KID.
1/12th ft. Very useful figure. 1/2, 1/4,1/8, 1/16, 1/32 of an inch we all know. But fractions of a foot? Love it. 1/24th, 1/48th, 1/96th, 1/192nd and 1/384th of feet. I’m totally using these. 😜 tooootally easier than metric.
Matt, I got quick a kick out of your metric "slam", lol. Being a Canadian and ardunt metric fan, I'm always enjoying everyones' unique perspectives on the topic. Always humorous!! Cheers, from Canada.
That’s a wicked Magdrill you have. I wasn’t aware that they had Battery powered for such a heavy duty drill like that. The lights are a great idea for the trailer. Everything looks great and heavy duty.
Matthew Sir, WOW So Very Nice !! You wouldn't think that you work with Wood.. The way you are Making the Trailer wow you know what you are doing !! So Nice... Liked the Tap Hole Joke , You had caught me off Guard !! Loved it !! Think you might need a Bigger Yard ? Thank You for your Time !!
I just replaced a fender on my trailer and I put antiseize on all my tapped holes bolts.Great if you need to remove and change something in the future it will come apart. Food for thought Matt.great build!
I love the way you over engineer your trailer, l do the same. Please keep the videos coming you do them so well and we all learn a bit. Also keep you and your family safe dueing this bad time all over the world.
You might want to put a hitch on the front of your truck. I have a yard about your size and I'm always shifting my trailers around depending what activity I have planned.
What can I say? You just keep doing it right, you wiill be happy later when you run into big stuff that would bend any other trailer and it does no damage. Over build is GOOD.
Good evening from off the grid in the great southwest. I really like the fabrication work. I laugh at the same things. For example, your tape is long your ready to mark your piece and the wind blows your tape off. Lol so you walk back out the tape back on get to the other end and guess what, your walking back again. Too funny. Now on a more serious note, the video on making your rotisserie, where can I find it I really need to make one. I do small single axle trailers, 8 to 12 feet long. And a rotisserie would be the cats meow. And I really like the one you made. Thanks again,
Very nice details on everything, even I overlook certain things most of time just because I know how much extra time stuff like that takes. Super cool👍🏼
Excellent video! I have always like your stuff. You MAY want to put a little brace, down low at the front and rear of the fender that would help keep the fenders from vibrating Road vibration will crack anything over time. Just little tabs for support.
I glad you have gotten back on this trailer build. I do wish you would give us a build list of all the material and items you are using. You at good wielder and doing a great job. I like to way you mind works on these projects that you show us. So Thank You for doing these great videos
Hi Matt love your work you give loads of ideas. Just a point about numbers whether its metric or imperial zero is zero, half more than nothing is nothing. Cheers
Yes - milling machine action!! Next time you drill a stack of plates like that, try using an index card or a few sheets of paper front and back to take up any tiny discrepancy in the widths of those pieces.
Hi Matt, Love the trailer series. Suggestion, when your drilling or hole sawing a stack use a piece of wood on one side of the vice then you won't get the top pieces moving around, the wood will squish a little to make up for the small amount of size differences
Loving the trailer series build and one thing about the fenders and the water issues is use the same stuff you would put in the bed of a pick up truck I can’t remember the name of that stuff but it works grate for sealing joints, can’t wait to see the finished result
If you haven’t mounted your plate yet. Use a piano hinge. We’ve mounted them that way in the past. They can “bend” out of the way if they catch something.
That's an awesome trailer! Enjoying getting to watch you build it. Only concern i have is all the rust it's going to have before you get to the paint video.
Hello hello! Thanks for the update on the trailer - tis lovely. Was wondering what - ah, was going to ask what tap you use, but then you had to go and link it in the description. thanks. Rock on!
Matt, fantastic video as usual. Are you planning to use rubber grommets to protect your wiring as it passes through the access holes in the frame? It will make for very reliable wiring.
Matt when you get ready to paint the trailer , I would suggest you think about the wheel and fender area that you sprayed that area with rubber rise bed liner overlay , this should help limitation of the rust problem from road salts
Matt, That is one “STRONG” trailer! I’m sure you’re proud of the build. I feel bad for the poor old tombstone stick welder. (sniffle sniffle). I like the behind the back sledge switch hand trick.
Hi, another great build series Matt 😁😁😁. I’m from the UK and old enough to have started with imperial and move to metric. I prefer metric overall but... I think in metric for small measurements g, mm etc but find myself converting larger measurements km, litres etc into imperial miles and gallons. Don’t get me started on sheet goods 8x4 not 2440x1220mm 😜. The US should just get on with it and convert to metric, it will take a generation or two but it might stop NASA from bouncing another multi billion dollar spacecraft off of another planet in the solar system 🤓🤓🤓🤪🤪🤪.
I like that idea... I have replaced 3 light sets on a equipment trailer that my grandpa owns. If it can be hit, he backs into it. In his defense he does have to drive overs some ditches and I think that is where the tear off takes place. I really like the hinges so I might just work something up when he breaks a set in the next few weeks.
Fraction is master race! Even tho as a mechanic I cant stand SAE so there id that haha. You surprise me with every build with you never ending skillset. Amazing to watch you grow. Been watching since just after this build but needed to binge watch something so here we are :)
Hi Matt, I'm really enjoying your trailer build. Just a thought regarding the license plate, have you considered using hinges on the plate? With hinges it would simply swing up toward the rear of the trailer. Depending of course where and how you mount the hinge it could actually swing in both directions! Keep up the good work!
And I was just cussing out a small aluminum box that I am fabricating into my next amateur radio television transmitter. I use tweezers for my projects and you use sledge hammers on yours! Thanks for the perspective! Great job on the trailer!
i don't do woodworking, i don't weld, i don't have sawmill. yet i always look forward to your videos, for some reason they make my day. thanks so much for sharing them.

Another excellent trailer build video Matthew Cremona! Keep these coming
Metal is obviously your trade, and your very good at it. Thanks for sharing.
Tremendous series!! I'll never build a trailer, but I sure enjoy seeing the planning, reasoning, and the building of one.
Wow!!! So beautiful to see a person with so much talent, congratulations and thank you.
I can’t wait to see you haulin huge logs on this guy. 👍🏻👍🏻
Me too
Hi Matt. Please put some way oil on the knee ways of your mill. It should move silently as should the table if it is also making noise. Great videos!
I still need to pull the table area apart. I have a feeling the oil lines are gummed up. thanks!
@@mcremona Understood. Just give the ways and screws a good coating and move them up and down a few times. You can do a lot of damage fast if there isn't any lubrication. Thanks again for the videos.
I've watched you forever. For the first time it just occurred to me... Boy, I bet your neighbors love you! LOL Cut, grind, weld, cut, grind. weld!

I thought I had a few tools,..man, you have no shortage of metal working tools there, I wish I had a mag. base drill like that one,..they're a 'godsend' aren't they?
I welded my trailers fenders on,..I should have bolted them in place,...make's it a lot easier if and when you mash one!
Was thinkin the same thing when I saw the drill Reg!.. I was like.." damn that's a bad ass drill".
You are ding beautiful work, like a top tradesman. Have been enjoying it. Thanks.
Matty I'm not easily impressed but your videos are impressive. Your math, stick welding and general knowledge great. Tell Lindsey I agree tires are to expensive.

GREAT job Matt, that "crawlie" thing you have has really come in handy. Also like that magnetic drill press! !! !!!
The new trailer is a beast. Great job on editing the video. Expect no less with your attention to detail.
thanks Don!
Love your work, may seem like overkill, but you know the weight you're carrying. I love it. Better over built than the alternative.
Great job. Love your positive happy attitude.
That’s a wicked Magdrill you have. I wasn’t aware that they had Battery powered for such a heavy duty drill like that. The lights are a great idea for the trailer. Everything looks great and heavy duty.
Matthew Sir, WOW So Very Nice !! You wouldn't think that you work with Wood.. The way you are Making the Trailer wow you know what you are doing !! So Nice... Liked the Tap Hole Joke , You had caught me off Guard !! Loved it !! Think you might need a Bigger Yard ? Thank You for your Time !!
Fireball Tool notice's the rust on the monster squares you will be in trouble!! nice job on the trailer!
lol side effect of actually using them
Best thing of homebrew builds: the colossal overbuild in terms of time and detail You can easily put in which will make You enjoy that thing lifelong.
That trailer is going to be a beast!
I just replaced a fender on my trailer and I put antiseize on all my tapped holes bolts.Great if you need to remove and change something in the future it will come apart. Food for thought Matt.great build!
I used antiseize on every bolt when I did the final assembly after paint. Thanks!
Congrats, good to see you back in the shop.
I love the way you over engineer your trailer, l do the same.
Please keep the videos coming you do them so well and we all learn a bit.
Also keep you and your family safe dueing this bad time all over the world.
thanks John!
Better than asking yourself later "why the hell did I do that?"
You might want to put a hitch on the front of your truck. I have a yard about your size and I'm always shifting my trailers around depending what activity I have planned.
What can I say? You just keep doing it right, you wiill be happy later when you run into big stuff that would bend any other trailer and it does no damage. Over build is GOOD.
Holy crap Mr. Toolman! Lol. You never miss amazing me with your builds.
Very cool Matt, consider putting one of those LED light bars on your loading arch for night time illumination!
I like tapping holes too.
Great work! Thanks for taking the time to make, film, edit and share.
Great job. It does look super heavy. By the time its done, trailer capacity: trailer itself.
If you ever need a great vise for your mill , drive over to Kurt in MN and get a blemished new vise for a discount. Made in the USA also!
Thanks for the video/inspiration you are a very hard worker. Enjoyed you careful planning and foresight.
Man, you’ve got some tools. Very nice job. Stay safe
Thanks!
Your fenders are actually shaped the way they should be. That's the same look I use on all mine. Good job enjoyed the video.
Good evening from off the grid in the great southwest. I really like the fabrication work. I laugh at the same things.

Thanks man!
Excellent video!
I have always like your stuff.
You MAY want to put a little brace, down low
at the front and rear of the fender that would

Road vibration will crack anything over time.
Just little tabs for support.
Awesome work Matt, the trailer is really coming together nicely! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .... Cool jackets too, I'll make sure to check them out!

I'm finally caught up on the trailer build. It's looking pretty good.
Thanks!
That trailer is a beast WOW
It certainly seems to be military grade.
Hi Matt love your work you give loads of ideas. Just a point about numbers whether its metric or imperial zero is zero, half more than nothing is nothing.
Cheers
It is looking good I can’t wait to see that nice video👍👍👍👍
thanks!
Man that Bridgeport is impressive.
Yes - milling machine action!! Next time you drill a stack of plates like that, try using an index card or a few sheets of paper front and back to take up any tiny discrepancy in the widths of those pieces.
Really impressed with the detail you posted on Instagram seeing in the video now.👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻
Thanks!
Hi Matt, Love the trailer series. Suggestion, when your drilling or hole sawing a stack use a piece of wood on one side of the vice then you won't get the top pieces moving around, the wood will squish a little to make up for the small amount of size differences
Wooden vice jaws!
@@mcremona A small piece of aluminum can work too. But a hardwood sub jaw might be alright too.
That Mag drill press is cool...and Matt i like your videos 99.99999999999 percent of the time....😅
One day the world will end. But this trailer will still be there, completely unphased
I am surprised that you don't end the videos in this series with "Until next time, happy METAL working!"
This metal working is a means to more woodworking :)
Feels wrong watching you drill with the Bridgeport, I miss the old signature Matt Cremona drill press 😂
hahaha I sometimes miss the struggle
Loving the trailer series build and one thing about the fenders and the water issues is use the same stuff you would put in the bed of a pick up truck I can’t remember the name of that stuff but it works grate for sealing joints, can’t wait to see the finished result
rhino
If you haven’t mounted your plate yet. Use a piano hinge. We’ve mounted them that way in the past. They can “bend” out of the way if they catch something.
I just bought my first mig welder and only hope one day to be able to build a trailer like this.
Can't wait to see this done!
Metal Workers: Wood guys don't know anything about metal work.
Matt: Hold my bandsaw...
Not unless you have worked in both trades like me
That's an awesome trailer! Enjoying getting to watch you build it. Only concern i have is all the rust it's going to have before you get to the paint video.
Hello hello! Thanks for the update on the trailer - tis lovely. Was wondering what - ah, was going to ask what tap you use, but then you had to go and link it in the description. thanks. Rock on!

Matt, fantastic video as usual. Are you planning to use rubber grommets to protect your wiring as it passes through the access holes in the frame? It will make for very reliable wiring.
Yes, those aren’t arbitrarily sized holes 😄
Matt when you get ready to paint the trailer , I would suggest you think about the wheel and fender area that you sprayed that area with rubber rise bed liner overlay , this should help limitation of the rust problem from road salts
I use an old truck mud flap to mount my trailer plates to so it has some swing if you hit it.
the one thing i miss about retiring is the Bridgeport at work.
Matt, That is one “STRONG” trailer! I’m sure you’re proud of the build. I feel bad for the poor old tombstone stick welder. (sniffle sniffle).
I like the behind the back sledge switch hand trick.
Can you send me info on the circular saw blade you use to cut steel, not the chop saw blade?
Hi, another great build series Matt 😁😁😁. I’m from the UK and old enough to have started with imperial and move to metric. I prefer metric overall but...

Matt... love the trailer built videos. Awesome
Hey Matt my name is Mark Allen i was glad to here you were in my backyard called Santa Rosa born and raised there the perfect place to live
More than anything I'm stupidly impressed by those Triton tools.
Sooner or later you're going to realize that you need to move and/or build a much bigger shop!
Great job on the metal working!
Could you drill some small holes on the inner side of the fender to let the water drain out into the wheel cavity?
I think all of us guys like "tapping" holes!
Fractions rule! Have you decided on a finish coating?
Good video. I would put a plate behind the licence plate to protect it from stones that might be kicked up by the tires.
I put my license plate on a metal plate with a hinge so the plate moves
I like that idea... I have replaced 3 light sets on a equipment trailer that my grandpa owns. If it can be hit, he backs into it. In his defense he does have to drive overs some ditches and I think that is where the tear off takes place. I really like the hinges so I might just work something up when he breaks a set in the next few weeks.
I finally decied I would buy my trailer fron China. Very good job, dude!
Very nice looking trailer!
Good Job, can't wait for the next video on the trailer.
Fraction is master race! Even tho as a mechanic I cant stand SAE so there id that haha. You surprise me with every build with you never ending skillset. Amazing to watch you grow. Been watching since just after this build but needed to binge watch something so here we are :)
I really like that Bridgeport
me too
That tap wrench if massive!
Hi Matt, I'm really enjoying your trailer build. Just a thought regarding the license plate, have you considered using hinges on the plate? With hinges it would simply swing up toward the rear of the trailer. Depending of course where and how you mount the hinge it could actually swing in both directions!
Keep up the good work!
I LOVE MY FRACTIONS!!!
And I was just cussing out a small aluminum box that I am fabricating into my next amateur radio television transmitter. I use tweezers for my projects and you use sledge hammers on yours! Thanks for the perspective! Great job on the trailer!
😂😂 great perspective
That was cool, even the imperial jokes (metric is better hahahah). The wheel arches just make it look so much better.
Fractions are fun!
Looks great! What about some rubber stops between the axle and the frame in case it bottoms out?
