This was very helpful. I have c6500 that I wannt to " dovetail" :) I understand sdditional weight of this but curious why you didn't add folding drop down ramps hinged to the trailer?
Thanks for the comment. We tried to keep it simple. We might mount the ramps to the trailer in the future if time allows. Really, if we made the ramps narrower and some thinner material it would be WAY easier to manage.
I'm no scientist and going to assume you are talking about the dovetail. I have three reasons... The longer anything is the stronger the structure would have to be. I don't want to get into and nor do I know steel load limits and whatnots. Weight, just adding this alone add about 700 lb. to the trailer with just reduced the capacity of the trailer. If we make it to long or low it will drag a lot more I don't want to get stuck somewhere. Ever see a low boy trailer get stuck on tracks and hit by a train?
You need a cold saw. They are fantastic.
Just looked up what those are. That would be nice to have.
Due you have a parts list you used?
We used mild steel - Rectangle tubing 2"x 3" (3/16) Angle Iron 3"x 3" (3/16) Is this what you are asking?
@@goldies_garage THANK YOU FOR THE REPLY ,VERY HELPFUL , I WANT TO CONVERT A TRAILER I HAVE TO A DOVE TAIL AND RAMPS THANK YOU

Is that his real hair ? And thank you for the video.i want to do the same thing.just wonder if that messed up the 60 40 ratio of the trailer ?
Yes, that is his real hair. Thanks for watching. 60/40 ratio hmmm... Well find out when we pick up some of our stuff in California.
Why y'all can't fabricate a table to sit the bandsaw on?
It's a "portable bandsaw" and because of the size & weight, It is easier for us to move the bandsaw to the metal vs bringing the metal to the bandsaw.
It's ya boi coming at u live from Germany yee yee
Thanks dude
Literally a welding cart
:) It works... for now.
Why have the ramp that short?

Looks good Eli👍
Thanks 👍
A dovetail is a woodworking joint, has nothing to do with a trailer.
I know what you are talking about with wood working but I've always called them that and so do other I know. What do you call them?
MANY people, including the manufacturers of trailers, call it a dovetail. I have seen it called a beavertail also, but dovetail seems more common.
@@benjaminreinhardt259 A quick google search agrees but not everyone has access to the internet.
@@goldies_garage But.... aren't we on the internet now?
@@benjaminreinhardt259 Yeah, It was a joke.
