Welcome to Build It or Buy It! Mike here; my goal is to share my knowledge and skills with you regarding fabrication of various items vs. what the cost would be to purchasing them.
Over the years I've designed, and fabricated a number of various projects. Sometime in steel and aluminum, sometimes in wood, and even composites.
My content will include detailed step by step builds of a multitude of items which will be compared to the same items if I had purchased them. If this peaks your interest, hit that SUBSCRIBE button and share your comments and questions.

Thanks for a great informative video - I just finished pouring my rollers, fingers crossed for tomorrow. I drew up and 3D printed top and bottom plugs as I don't have a lathe - they seem to be working well so far with no leaks.
Thank you for posting this - I'm just in the process of refurbishing the rollers in my jointer/planer which has been serving me well until recently when the roller surface started breaking off. Not having access to a metal lathe to make the plugs, I used a 3d printer to make them. How has the Smooth-on urethane been holding up for your jointer/planer?
Good job, what did you do to prep the steel before pouring ? Could the roller be pressed out with out cutting the tube?
Great job. You have really good skills and made it very understandable. I've got a 2030 and wish someone like you fo a youtube on setting up the jointer when beds or not co-planer and resetting blades after sharpening.
Thanks, If I remember next time I change blades I'll do a short on how I set them up. If your tables aren't co-planer, there isn't much you can do other than having them re-ground. You can hand scrape the dove tails, but that takes special measuring equipment.
Wow! Impressive
Thanks, I appreciate it
Can I send my 2030n rollers to you and have you do the same thing to mine. 😬
I've had a couple other's ask, and though I like helping folks out, I just have too many of my own projects on my plate. however, I only machined mine after de-molding as I'm picky, and I took a minimal amount off. That said if the tube you use for the mold has the correct I.D. there aren't any special tools needed. So I'd encourage you to give it a try
Literally the only video I've been able to find anywhere of a diy solution for rubber rollers. 80 bucks more like 100 bucks each when taking into account shipping to replace my dw735 rollers, 200 bucks is half of what I paid for the planer to begin with it's ridiculous. For those without a lathe could someone just buy tubing with the exact ID they need and just use it straight out of the mold? Not to hard to get tubing with a specific ID.
initially i thought they would have to be turned, but the runout after I de-molded mine was very very minimal. So yes I believe you could skip turning them if the I.D. of your mold was the correct size.
I probably would have went with white oak for strength.
Looking good! Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
You think you could rebuilt two rollers for me im in Ottawa
Possibly, given they are fairly heavy, the cost to ship back and forth my put a pretty good dent in the cost vs buying new
I’m looking to do the same with a mini split. Although, I’m worried about having to drill through brick. I also just purchased a gantry from Northern Tool. I’m a novice at welding otherwise I would have liked to build a much more sturdier one. Wish you the best on that injury 👍
Thanks for the best wishes. The Northern tool or harbor freight ones still get the job done
Can’t wait till the new builds. Rest up so you can get back to the projects!
also where did you get those spacers?
Are you referring to the aluminum plugs I put in the end of the tubes before pouring? if so I machined them out of aluminum. or are you referring to something else?
was that trial size kit enough for both rollers?
Yes, I had a few ounces left over
I don't know where you're located, but look for an Alro Steel. They have quite a few locations. I used to get material from them when I lived in Ohio.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm in Washington state and we don't have any Alro's close
Specs for those rollers that I have found spec a 2" diameter for recovered rollers so you are probably undersized. Otherwise this is one of the best fix it videos I have seen
I agree, since the bearing blocks have an offset hole, I'm going to rotate them to help with clearance between the boards and the housing.
Curious to know how well the rollers are feeding the wood through the planer. I have just the 16” planer model 2040 and I need to replace my temp solution for the rollers.
They are working great, the durometer seems to be just about right. To get good grip on the board, I have the depth of cut set to a point where the top of the board (cutter side) occasionally drags slightly on the casting right where the depth indicator is. The holes in the drive roller bearing blocks are offset, so by rotating them you can change the height of the rollers in relation to the bed. I started with them in the orientation that puts the rollers farther away from the bed. So I'll rotate the blocks 180 which will lower them slightly and take care of that. So that said, the only thing I might do different is to increase the finished diameter of the rollers by 1/64" or so. The problem with that is then I would have had to machine out the ID of the PCV pipe I used for the mold.
Freedom Boards! Those look amazing!
Wow, what a great job! Your idea for the 6” hole insert was super awesome. I would have never thought of that.
Great work! Official cornhole boards go for $227. I bet yours will be much nicer and cost way less.
Great job! Looking good so far.
what is the size of pvc pipe? cheers! or size of roller going to be?
2" Schedule 80 pipe gave me the diameter I needed.
good one! appreciated! cheers!@@@builditorbuyit
#Savethetablesaw
Wow is that thing starting to look great! Still can’t believe you built your own winch. Probably going to be smoother than buying a crap one online. Great job bud, keep‘em coming!
I would love to see a combination wood/metalworking workbench! #SaveTheTableSaw
That's a good idea, I'll have to put some thought into it.
Welding table!!!😊
getting center of thing is quite a work
Thanks
remarkable
Thanks
Holy crap! That turned out awesome! I love the way you use actual names for parts (i.e graduated container, pillow block). Most people just say “thingy” 😂
More people need to do things like this. There are plenty of older machines out there that can be brought back to life that work just as well, if not better, than the products made today.
Great video! Can’t wait to see it!
Great content Good wrap up. It would be nice to know Your approximate labor Time. That way we can determine if it's possible For us to decide if we have the time to do this. Thanks much
I've thought about keeping track on my projects, but that might scare me. A guess on this one is somewhere in the neighborhood of 120 hours or so.
That front bar I believe is a torsion bar. Many trailers include one under the length, in the center.
No torsion bar on this one
@@builditorbuyit I was talking about the one you were looking at...
Very nice work. Thank you sir.
Your welcome, and thanks for the positive comments
It's even easier to leave the drill bit extended into the shaft as you are parting the sleeve. No need to look for a wire.
good point
I can't help but notice the lack of PPE! Concerned L&I inspector. Love the channel though.
I try, but sometimes get caught up in the "moment'
Nice job!
Thanks!
Funny - he calls this basic math... it makes my head hurt. Dummy me, I'd of just finished the trailer except for mounting the axles and slide jack stands back and forth and measure the tongue weight. When I got it where I wanted, marked it and mounted the between pivot point there.
Your method is how I've done it in the past, but it's a little extra work. I had to teach myself the math method for my job, so thought some be interested in the calculation method.
@@builditorbuyit Yes. It is best to know the math way... then you can apply that to other things.
Oooook - I get the hinge now. I'll be coming up with a simpler way to do it. That is way more work than I'm willing to do. LOL Plus you've got the drill press and that bit... that I don't have.
If you don't have a drill press or mill to use a boring head, one alternative is you can purchase oversize reamers for not a lot of $, and use them in hand drill to get a hole 0.010 over nominal for example
maybe think about getting a microphone to wear... and those "work boot crocks" will HURT when you get a spark in them. Some socks melt into plastic, then the shoes... melted plastic on your skin doesn't wipe off. A friend told me. ;) Expended metal - I hope you have better luck with it then I did. It bends way, way too easy for me. The plasma cutter will cut that very easy, you just need to pivot how you hold it so it's not the 1"+. Your hinge... I can't picture how it's going to work but am totally interested. I'm going to do the same thing on a trailer I've got.
I tried one mic but it picked up to much background, probably because it was an el cheapo one off Amazon. I appreciate the crock jab.....can't count how many times at work when welding overhead a zinger went in my ear or down a sleeve; definitely gets your attention.
@@builditorbuyit yea, wish I could help for what mic to get... I've got no idea. Ear burners suck. Years ago I had a really nice jacket. Burned little holes in the arms doing "just a quick favor". Burned down to my arm. Jacket turned to melted plastic. Some gloves do that also.
I like that boom you made on your bucket
Thanks
Just found this channel, wondering how many hours are you into this project? Well done looks great
I should have kept track but didn't. My best guess is somewhere around 50 - 60 hours
It’s possible, potentially, maybe…, that “butting” the decking up against their edges, could cause swelling & buckling, however it appears that you are on the “dry side” of Washington State, so it may not be an issue. The deck looks great..! Thank you sir.
Correct, dry side, and the trailer will be under cover, so I'm hoping there is minimal movement.
Well sir, looks mighty fine…, very nice. Thank you.
Thanks
Question about the tongue. The vertical line that you made your pie cut off of is that vertical exactly where it meets the outside of the frame? Say I wanted my tongue to come out maybe 3/16 of an inch or so then bend back. Would I move that line aft 3/16” just a little bit?
Yes it was. If I understand you correctly, you want your tongue at the straight section to be 3/16 per side wider than the straight section of the main frame. If so them for the most part yes. Moving the vert. line 3/16 farther won't result in exactly 3/16 wider because the tongue is angled, but it would be very close.
@@builditorbuyit correct. To add a 3/16” steel diamond plate step/gusset gives a little lip for it to weld onto.
you going to make a video on the saw and stand?
I'll take it into consideration, and could probably put together maybe a 5 or 10 minute thing on how I did it.
I second that request…
It would be beneficial if you could share total time invested, obviously a person’s skill level and access to tools will have a huge impact on this but a baseline would be nice. Oh I would also suggest starting to build playlists now that you are moving to other builds so we can watch each series as a whole later. Thank for sharing your knowledge
Good idea, thanks for the feedback.
Are you going to make the trailer plans available for download?
Probably not. I made a number of changes on the fly so would have to go back and update everything. Also given tort liability now days, I'm leery. Sorry.
@@builditorbuyit I can understand that
Did the roll on bed liner fill the torx bit holes?
Most of them yes. So if I ever have to replace a board, it will be a bit of a pain to dig them out.
That router jig was Bad Ass! Most people don’t think about that detail. Very cool.
Thanks
