Matt, I have a very good tip for you. Buy a good clear face shield. Those thin cut off discs are no joke my friend. it's not a matter of if one will shatter it's WHEN! I'd like to hear some other posters chime in on this. This is a very important safety necessity when using thin cut off wheels. Heavy work gloves are a must for those as well.
I know this series is a old and you've probably heard this before by now, but a little tip (I fit and weld structural stuff for a living) when you're coping anything like channel, beams, tube, anything, to fit inside another like you're doing at 2:14, round off the inside corners of the cope. When you have a sharp 90 degree corner like that you're much more prone to cracking, even if theyre fully welded. Especially so on something like this that's sees a lot of load cycling, impacts, and vibration. I wouldn't be surprised if now that it's been 3 years since you've built this you had a crack or two in that joint
This guy thought process is amazing. I would have never thought to put it on that pivot point to flip the trailer around, to make welding easier on yourself. Hands down phenomenal.
You never cease to amaze me, Matt!! Almost as adept with metal as you are with wood.....and I think that's probably only a matter of time!! Really enjoying the trailer build. Take care! :-)
Merry Christmas Matt. Glad you are keeping warm. My memories of living in MN are Winter and Road Repair being the two seasons. Trailer is looking great. You are a perfectionist and that trait will pay huge dividend later on. Looking forward to the continuation of this build. Thanks for sharing.
Hello Mr Matt, probably the best trailer building video on you tube yet. Being able to pivot the trailer single handed is where you won me over. Very impressive and you certainly work smart. I also like the drill shavings extraction. Points for overall smart working and safety. Thanks again.
I personally like a chain tube for safety chain mounts, i.e. 2inch pipe or tube bent into a radius, then cut a hole in each 50 degree frame tube on center. Put tube thru both tubes and weld all 4 sides at tubes. Tempered chain goes thru. 1/2 inch bolt thru on center to hold chain on center. This way you arent compromising chain temper by welding, as well as not counting on shear strength of welded mounts for chain. Chain tube is integral part of frame, chain goes thru. If hitch gets loose from vehicle then it is the best connection, no compromise of strength. Dont forget, ALWAYS criss cross chains under tongue so the chains cradle the trailer securely and keep it pulling on center. Fabulous fab job Matt !!
coldest it gets here in melbourne Australia is around 6 degrees celsius but yesterday was 41 we don’t know what cold is. All the best to you and yours for xmas new year
Matt, you never cease to amaze me, you remind me of my son. He is always working on something (he loves working on his race car), he built a nice cabin home on the lake side from an old 1930 chicken coupe, remodeled and old farmhouse that he is living in, rewired it, with a little help from friends and family.. I don't know where he gets all his knowledge to do what he does without going to college and you are such a hard worker and enjoy what you do. Keep up your great work and dream. Have a Blessed Merry Christmas with your family. God Bless
Worked for an outfit at sold Refrigiwear 50 years ago. Glad to see it is still relevant and has been updated from the old green it use to come in. Pretty slick way of rotating that huge frame.
I seen you welding mig from bottom to top. I was taught to weld mig top to bottom and Flux from bottom to top. I welded pipe and plate that way in school and successfully bent out everything I've ever tested. Your stick work looks great.
From an old pipeline welder, and welding foreman, Nice job! I like the fact that you tack with MIG, but weldout with Stick. Looks like E7018, and very well done at that. Looking good! Great video!
This was very interesting.... I didnt get how you were going to spin the trailer? You are a very creative guy & I'm loving how you show us every step! Merry Christmas & STAY SAFE
You may want to add support to your inert gas bottle so it does not fall over and become a torpedo. Lots of good planning along with verified measurements is paying off. Starting square prevents compensating later.
Dad used to work in a shipyard... once in a while the yard, and the competing yard across the channel, would "launch torpedoes" at each other when the big cylinders would fall over and a neck break off.......I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that....
Great job on everything Matt. You have a very well equipped shop and the knowledge to use it. I have a Lincoln MP210 also. Great MIG and Stick welder for sure
On the tongue flat plate , I would have milled a slot vertical , then welded flush vertical , filled to level . But hey you got nearly same result . Great build , love your ingenuity and attention to detail . I'm positive this will perform exactly as you designed it ! 👍👍❤️
No explanation needed for making something better than it has to be. Always appreciate seeing something plenty strong for the purpose it was created. I know there's always exceptions, but for highway use it's a good practice! Thanks for the explanations and videos tho!
Hey Matthew that's some serious Trailer Dude loving your videos and can hardly wait until the next installment of the Awesome Trailer really amazing have a good day 😁😁
Those leaf springs look so small in comparison to the rest of the trailer. Made me look up some images to compare. As many said. Good job! Both on the work, and the presentation. I hope to get a welder this spring and start experimenting.
Great welding job. Good idea on a weep hole for water drainage out of the tube but you should oblong your drain hole as water will not "weep"from a round hole. Been a welder/fabricator in the mining industry for 30 +years by the way
Matt, your imagination and ingenuity are inspirational. Your welding skills are so much greater than mine that it isn't even funny. Thanks for sharing this project with us!
Matt, I bought a Refrigiwear jacket last January when I was in Omaha with a blue jean jacket with hoodie underneath as my jacket, who does that you ask? a Georgia boy who thought winter in Omaha could not be very cold (-8 plus wind chill). Coldest place on the planet. Love the trailer build.
Another great video. Your fabrication skills are very good. If you use solid decking; i'm assuming diamond plate, you might look at putting some sunken D-Rings in a few places in the decked area. Places along the side are nice but if you are like me, you have wished that you had some place to tie to inside the trailer deck at times. Keep up to good work!
Come on Matt. You always got the right tools......................................Where's your chipping hammer r are those chipping adj. pliers and bolts?
Man, that was a really neat idea to build the rotisserie style stand. It will make welding much, much easier. Enjoyed watching the full video. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🤠 10/21/22
Very Impressive skills. I am a woodworker, but your metal working skills make me fantasize that I could do it too--hah, likely not! Keep up the good work. Man, I wish I could get some of the logs that you have salvaged, those I could work with!
I'm stealing your idea for flipping the trailer over! I've been trying to figure out how to flip a trailer over for my own build and this solves it in a clever way :)
Nice stands. I used to use a larger, heavier version of something similar when I first began welding semi-trailer frames. an inverted angle iron with 2 pieces of flat bar welded across work well for a top clamp. you can weld 2 studs vertically that project upward through the flat bar, along with large washers and grade 8 nuts to snug the turning "pin" down so it doesn't move on you while you are welding as well. Nice work.
Very nice. The rotisserie is sharp. Simple strong and the point. Nicely done. Lol hope you don't mind if I steal your idea. Off the grid in Arizona. I also commend you on overbuilding the trailer. Except for tires and the occasional bearings that's a 50, 60 year trailer easily. .happy new year
Good job bro. Gotta love the woodworking n metal fabrication side i heard u say your kinda new to the mig i have the Lincoln 210 to love it but i learned it to work best pushin the puddle not draggin n so after u select ur thickness n its presect paramiters turn the volts up alittle more n wire down alittle n dude she will lay right down in a stack of dines for u keep up good work🥳😎🙏
Im really enjoying watching u weld . I made a trailer for my bobcat and at the end of project i wished i would had just bought one material was expensive 😂
Wow, I can't stick weld to save my life, I work to make everything that I can be welded with solid wire. I need to force myself to do more stick just like you are doing with MIG on your stands. Great work.
Merry Christmas to you and your family & keep creating your stuff the way you like. If you want it do be done good or the way you want it, you got to do it yourself. Also, everything can be learned (if you want to)
the bolts that came with your coupler should have some thin washers. if you put the washer between the coupler and the mount it should take most of the slop out. (not on the out side.)
"Welcome to Cooking with Cremona! Today we're fabricobbeling something for next episode: a dinosaur rotisserie thingumajig !!! :D Well, the wind won't take it away at least!!!
thank you Matt very clever on the stand . heads up on the mill and saw get at least a mister for coolant your blades will last longer and you have less chance of work Harding the steel . ( 10 yrs a machinists )
I'd say your more than qualified to build a trailer and seem to have all the right tools. Excellent work! I thought it was going to be much heavier as it sits than 1100 lbs 1/4 box channel seems way stronger than most of the trailers I'm looking at and there weighing around 3K need 14K trailer considering building one but seeing a lot of thought needs to go into it

Nothing like the sound of a welder with the proper settings.

Almost :D
Uzbekistan Hello
Enjoying the video and wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy and healthy and prosperous New Year!
Thanks Jim! You too!

Thanks for sharing.
Winter and road repair! Haha! Gonna use that! 😇😎
True Northern engineering. Nice job...

Cool great rotisserie idea!!!
thanks!
Building one hell of a beast of a trailer, awesome
Aaah, the wonderful world of rotisserie welding. Makes life so much easier.
Very nice trailer and well explained by telling us what your doing.
Your attitude coupled with your many skills makes this a very interesting channel. I never tire of seeing what you're up to.
Thank you!
coldest it gets here in melbourne Australia is around 6 degrees celsius but yesterday was 41 we don’t know what cold is. All the best to you and yours for xmas new year
Sounds toasty 😄
thank you for stick welding the adjustable hitch on and not mig welding, shows you know what to weld and how to weld it i'm impressed!!!
thank you!

Your welding skills are definitely building. Great job Matt.
Thank you!
Betting drilling on the Bridgeport is a heck of a lot easier than the drill press. Thank for the video.
fantastic - your welds look great - impressed by your metal skills/tools, and the engineering behind all of this! wow
Thanks!
Looks good Mathew. You are doing a great job around there. Thanks for sharing with us, really enjoying the trailer build.
Thank you!

How you flipped the trailer at the end was fantastic mate! Awesome idea man!
Looks great. I'm looking forward in seeing your new log arch design.
thanks Joe!
Good idea with the roll over jig, gotta evenly distribute that weld heat!
This was very interesting....
I didnt get how you were going to spin the trailer? You are a very creative guy & I'm loving how you show us every step!
Merry Christmas & STAY SAFE
Thanks!!
*Check the "Trailer Rotisserie" video, StihlBorn, you will love it: **th-cam.com/video/QRRaZSh5Ur8/w-d-xo.html*
Matt, I wouldn't mind having some of that 2x2 1/4 12 foot scrap angle iron!! lol
lol that's actually 3x3 :D
I’m new to your channel. I love it. Love the fact you have no music. Your channel has a “this old house feel” only much more diverse and better.
Thanks!
I am SO jealous of your tools!
Now that's a really good idea .well done ,
Great idea to spin it around.
Nice job. You must have very forgiving neighbors allowing you to run your operation in a residential neighborhood.
i was a welder for the railroad out here in wyoming and EVERYTHING we welded was GMAW (mig w/ gas). can be as strong if done correctly.
You may want to add support to your inert gas bottle so it does not fall over and become a torpedo.
Lots of good planning along with verified measurements is paying off. Starting square prevents compensating later.
Dad used to work in a shipyard... once in a while the yard, and the competing yard across the channel, would "launch torpedoes" at each other when the big cylinders would fall over and a neck break off.......I'd hate to be on the receiving end of that....
Refridgiwear is awesome. Have one of the same jackets and you keep plenty warm
Great job on everything Matt. You have a very well equipped shop and the knowledge to use it. I have a Lincoln MP210 also. Great MIG and Stick welder for sure
Thanks!
Just earned a subscriber with the rotisserie. I love it!!!

Yeah, Not to mention the fabrication skills it took to build that sawmill.
Enjoying this trailer build Mat.
thanks!
Come on Matt. You always got the right tools......................................Where's your chipping hammer r are those chipping adj. pliers and bolts?
Anything can be a hammer :D
ROFL
thank you to let me steel of your ideas for my business very creative from south Africa
Love your videos, your stick welding looks as good as tig welding, very impressed.
Thanks!
Man, that was a really neat idea to build the rotisserie style stand. It will make welding much, much easier. Enjoyed watching the full video. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🤠 10/21/22
Thanks!
Genius work Matt! Those new tires are gonna be worn out before you finish the trailer!
Hahaha they make great weights
Matt you're a MIG Welding genius!
Looking good! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 .... The trailer ain't too shabby either!
Hahaha thanks Fred!
Awesome build.
Very Impressive skills. I am a woodworker, but your metal working skills make me fantasize that I could do it too--hah, likely not!

Hey Matthew, great videos, thanks!
AWESOME makeshift rotisserie!
crazy crazy woodworking guys - prefer stick over mig! lol... nice build! :)
Looking great Mr C!
Thanks!
Nice work. I enjoy moving big things too, when people ask how I did it, I tell them I used my brain.
You are doing g a great job on building your trailer
Thanks!
Im really enjoying watching u weld . I made a trailer for my bobcat and at the end of project i wished i would had just bought one material was expensive 😂

Great trailer build, Mathew !
your trailer will last forever with this
materials......
good to see a bit of old stick
I'm just finding your page now but you've got some really nice welds my man.
Thanks!
Look at you go, welding too! Those welds look pretty good!
thanks!
Merry Christmas to you and your family & keep creating your stuff the way you like. If you want it do be done good or the way you want it, you got to do it yourself.
Also, everything can be learned (if you want to)
If you keep it in this setup you can use it as a giant rotisserie, for buffalo or something.
Looking good
the bolts that came with your coupler should have some thin washers. if you put the washer between the coupler and the mount it should take most of the slop out. (not on the out side.)

Has someone been watching AvE?
@@timothyball3144 Well ... ummm ... a little maybe?
OK OK OK !!! I'm addicted hahaha! But he's the best AvE I know of so I'm proud of it! :D
Subscribed solely because of well you stick weld
How do you know how to do EVERYTHING?! Yesterday-charcuterie board with epoxy inlay. Today-laying out and welding leaf springs! So cool!
hahaha I have a diverse set of interests. Thanks!!
Great job on the trailer Matt! it's coming along nicely :) Thank you For sharing the video with us💖👌👍😎JP
Need to check this out as I might be moving from TN to NH.
That’ll be quite the change
thank you Matt very clever on the stand . heads up on the mill and saw get at least a mister for coolant your blades will last longer and you have less chance of work Harding the steel . ( 10 yrs a machinists )
I'd say your more than qualified to build a trailer and seem to have all the right tools. Excellent work!

Liked for the string trick
for being a wood worker you sure do lay down some nice looking welds :) Happy Holidays
Nice Work.
