Interesting idea. As for making mistakes, that is how we typically learn our best lessons. As for forgetting what you made the metal part for, been there and don't that too. Nice fab and finish... Thumbs Up!
@@garymucher4082 Thanks I agree😁I mean can you imagine if we never made mistakes🤔It would be cool for awhile then we would get bored of everything fast and loose our creativity.🤤I tried writing things down but then I lose the list 😂Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️
I love to watch you fabricate, Mitch. You are so talented! That new and improved gate makes your trailer the bomb! I like the idea of taping the furnace filter to the fan. Brilliant!! You made a mistake, so what, we all do it. But you came up with a plan and fixed it. That is what matters! Cheers!
@@peacefieldfarm_mn Thanks Mike 😁👍I have been wanting to do this for years. I figured I better do it before the trailer Rusts to the ground😂 furnace filter works really well. Thanks for watching and stay warm looks like cold temps tomorrow. 😁👍🚜💨🥶
Fab King! Love seeing you build things that improve on original designs. I have a list of tools in my notes on my phone from watching your videos. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mike.
@@maintenancewithmike Thanks Mike I got a really cool one next but I’m not sure how long it will take to complete. Hint it involves a 420cc engine from Harbor Freight. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@danielrapoza8468 Thanks Dan 😁 I appreciate your kind words. It turned into a bigger project than I expected but it all came together in the end. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️
My shop is VERY similar to yours. Lathe, mill, TIG, MIG etc. After years of welding on the floor, then, on a self made welding table (4’ x ‘8 by 1/2 thick), I finally splurged & got a ‘real’ welding table. It’s from Langmuir and it’s modular. Wow! What a difference! Milled flat, precision holes for clamping. I should’ve done this sooner. Anyway, beats cleaning weld splatter off your table saw. Hope this helps and thanks from Tennessee.
@@cernhutch Fireball tools make a fixture table I am interested in but it always comes down to budget😁 I have future plans for a Mill,CNC plasma table but it is going to be a while before that happens. Thanks for sharing your experience I agree a good fixture table is in my future for sure. Thanks for watching the video.😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@johnwaynewilliamson Thanks 😁 sometimes I get lucky 🍀😂 I can’t wait to grow up and get a CNC plasma table. I appreciate you subscribing have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️
Very nice build. Great use of an old table saw as a welding table. Never would’ve thought of that one. Look forward to your next video. Just subscribed.
@@mkegadgets4380 Thanks 😁👍 table saw idea came from Alex over at AM custom fab channel. I agree it works great and pretty flat too. Thanks for subscribing and have a great week 😁👍🚜💨☀️
This looked like a fun project and it is good to see the lathe in action. A milling machine would have made cutting that slot easy, something to put on your shopping list for the future 🙂 Your design is fantastic and it looks like it works very well, great job
@@GardenTractorBoy I can’t wait when I find a good old Bridgeport Mill. I see them now and then but There always far away and to heavy to ship. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️
looks like you had fun building that...make sure to drill some 1/8 holes in the square tubing to put some oil in once a year to prevent rust from inside out
@@bradwarris2906 Good idea! I forgot about that 😁👍 I had to drill the square tube on the ramp a few years ago. I couldn’t believe how much water came out🫣 I am guessing from condensation. What type of oil do you use? Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😁👍🚜💨☀️
I'd reconsider the use of a lynch pin in the horizontal position to secure your gate. I speak from experience. Try a carabineer/spring snap hook as an alternative. Good work!
@@alanarthur-ni3nw Thanks for sharing your experience😁👍 I didn’t really have a plan when I started out but it all came together in the end. I will check out the carabiner/spring snap hook. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@victorhenretty Thank you 😁 It’s not the biggest project I have done but it turned out to be more work than I expected 😂 Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@051biohaz Thanks 😁👍the old welder still works great but I think I am due for an upgrade. If you have any suggestions need to be able to weld 3/8inch minimum. I am glad you get how useful it will be. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@MannistoCay I am Happy with it so far. The rookie fork lift drivers at Home Depot will be happy 😆 Happy New Year to you too. Have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️
Where did you find that welding table? Custom built? It reminded me of a table saw I once own. That project was very well thought out and executed! Nice work! 👍
Great trailer mod! Do you have a specific purpose in mind for the gate function. Maybe you said and i missed it? Also, so cool to use your son's music 🎶 🤘🤠👍
@@samsdoinstuff Thanks Sam 😁 I did it because when I get full pallets of things at the Home Depot. The rookie fork lift drivers are afraid of hitting the gate. This way they can get it further in the trailer too. Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😁👍🚜💨☀️
@@m9ovich785 Good question 😁👍No but after the video I realized I can if I move the u hook to the square tube gate frame and then I can put the gate flat in the trailer. Always thinking 🤔 good eye 👁️ you have. Thanks for watching 😁👍🚜💨☀️

Good morning. It's snowing like crazy in KY today
What are you doing for heat in there?

@@MJADoingStuff I would love to do the opposite and create a ramp attachment for my dump trailer. That's outside my wheelhouse, lol
@ It wouldn’t be that hard to do. You might be able to talk to a welding shop nearby that can do it for a reasonable price. 😁👍
Sweet Mitch...
Can You still lay the gate flat in the Trailer ?? I lay Mine down when not needed. It is a big Sail back there and I can feel it
