Nothing like the sound of a welder with the proper settings.
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.
My back hurts just watching you. You have so many talents. Looks good.
True Northern engineering. Nice job...
thanks!
Great idea to spin it around.
Now that's a really good idea .well done ,
Just earned a subscriber with the rotisserie. I love it!!!
🙌
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! :-)
Almost :D
Uzbekistan Hello
Aaah, the wonderful world of rotisserie welding. Makes life so much easier.
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 !!
Liked for the string trick
good to see a bit of old stick
Sure the world need people like you life become easy.you really think big share and you will be given more be blessed
Great series - Thanks 😊‼️
Awesome build.
Building one hell of a beast of a trailer, awesome
your trailer will last forever with this
materials......
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!
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.
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
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
Betting drilling on the Bridgeport is a heck of a lot easier than the drill press. Thank for the video.
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.
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!
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: **ruclips.net/video/QRRaZSh5Ur8/видео.html*
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🥳😎🙏
Your welding skills are definitely building. Great job Matt.
Thank you!
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!
I am SO jealous of your tools!
You are doing g a great job on building your trailer
Thanks!
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 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
thank you to let me steel of your ideas for my business very creative from south Africa
Damn smart guy
Great video.
thanks!
"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!!!
hahahahahaha
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
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!
fantastic - your welds look great - impressed by your metal skills/tools, and the engineering behind all of this! wow
Thanks!
When my grandfather taught me to build trailers, he gave me the rule of thumb that the centerline of the middle hanger (or axle if it was single axle) was the centerline of the bed, plus one inch for every foot long the bed was towards the back, plus 1/8" on the passenger side to give a tiny bit of steer towards the right.
I questioned him about it later, and he told me the real formula was centerline of the bed plus (tow rating of the vehicle) / (combined axle load rating), x (length of the bed in inches) to the back, plus the 1/8" on the passenger side. This would ensure if you centered the weight of the load directly over the centerline of the bed, the appropriate amount of weight would be on the hitch.
His trailers weren't always perfect, but you could expect them to be loaded to the max of the axles and still pull like a dream. He could park a freshly painted trailer by the road and expect a cash offer from a local business in just a few days, and more than once had a bidding war going on.
Good idea with the roll over jig, gotta evenly distribute that weld heat!
Good video! 👍😊
thanks!
Matt you're a MIG Welding genius!
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!
Thanks!
stick welding sound is much more peaceful then mig
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.
Winter and road repair! Haha! Gonna use that! 😇😎
Wow... That spin set-up is genius! Can't wait for the next video!!!
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.
AWESOME makeshift rotisserie!
Looks great. I'm looking forward in seeing your new log arch design.
thanks Joe!
You need to build a welding cart to haul your welding machines and equipment around your projects.
I don’t disagree
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.
Buon lavorò matt👍
Hallo Matheew alles super 👍
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!
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.)
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.
lovin this build Matt....
PS Merry Christmas to you and your family!
you too!
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 :)
Looking great Mr C!
Thanks!
Matt, I wouldn't mind having some of that 2x2 1/4 12 foot scrap angle iron!! lol
lol that's actually 3x3 :D
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
Matt's pretty awesome though, the things he can do speaks for itself
I'm just finding your page now but you've got some really nice welds my man.
Thanks!
regards from Malta. I am sure you have family here in Malta, nice to see your vids.
Nice work. I enjoy moving big things too, when people ask how I did it, I tell them I used my brain.
Hey Matthew, great videos, thanks!
Love your videos, your stick welding looks as good as tig welding, very impressed.
Thanks!
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!
Thank you for sharing your amazing journey, merry Christmas, God bless you and your family
Thanks for sharing that
crazy crazy woodworking guys - prefer stick over mig! lol... nice build! :)
Great trailer build, Mathew !
Thanks for sharing
Look at you go, welding too! Those welds look pretty good!
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 😂
Looking Good
Cheers
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.
Episode 3 rotisserie frame.
You forgot to take into account fenders, tires and axles widths when you built it.
I wanted to keep the height down
The nice part of stick welding is that you can do it in any position. The weld at the front of the tounge should have been done going up not down.
Everything is a hammer. At least once. ;-) !!!
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 )
Matt - you need to get some Tap-Free cutting fluid - especially for doing those large hole bores outside in the cold with the mag mount hole hog. A little goes a LONG way, so you won't be making gallons of metallic goo to be cleaned up, I mean, a drop or 2 on each of those holes and you'd be golden. ( I know they worked fine when you drilled them, but your tool life and cutting time will increase/decrease accordingly if you add it in - McMaster Carr or Amazon)
Meanwhile - this build is coming out AWESOME !!
With the frame up on edge in the rotisserie, I had that thought that you could do some GREAT pig roasting with that thing if it doesn't work out with the logs ... just saying.
Well done Matt! I have to say, I'm pretty impressed with your welding plan! Very efficient, you know when to go from MIG to Stick and looks like you do well with both! One of my welding buddies/mentors used to remind me...You take something on the road, all of sudden shit just got REAL and you have to really pay attention! (Liability for one thing...) . But it really looks like you got everything handled and considered. Love the blocking to distribute the log weight too! Rotisserie was a HUGE idea for a single person operation...get you some of that Matt! Nice! :)
Need to check this out as I might be moving from TN to NH.
That’ll be quite the change
for being a wood worker you sure do lay down some nice looking welds :) Happy Holidays
you sir need an old warehouse and logyard to keep all your toys!
Nice magnetic drill! Those really make drilling holes a lot easier...
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!!
Reminds me of a saying I once heard about welding, can't remember where..."If it sounds like bacon frying, your good. If it smells like bacon frying, your on fire."
😂😂
Run your wiring inside the tubing
Plan to
Matt strength, it's almost complete.👍👍👍👍👍👍😂
*I can now see that with the 64% tongue weight balance, you will have a nice tongue distance for finesse turning control.*
I would use a portaband for many of those cuts :D
Haha, I got flash burn just watching, Nice work! You must have been a fabricator at some time? I used to use my old burned up gauntlet gloves to cover my boot laces. Also cover your new sidewall tires if you're gonna be welding above them. It's Amazing you can make so much money from firewood! lol.
Молодец жму руку Удачи Вам и вашим близким.
heres me thinking that thing would weight a shit ton, when you said 1100 pound, *surprised pikachu face* light asf for a strong built trailer
Great video
