I always ground the trailer lights through a ground wire all the way to trailer plug less likely to have issues with the lights!
Get some fenders for your trailer and it will look even more top notch and save you from rock chips!
Watch the video where he put the Vette on the trailer for Irma, it wouldn't fit well if it had fenders
Little hard if you have lobster fitment. If they were able to use hinges to open and close that would be dope.
John Koozy also a blowout
True
John Koozy :
I had two discs blow up in my face one day, and decided eye protection wasn't overrated. a couple days later i was helping my friend work on his truck. Probably one of the first times actually using eye protection while using a grinder, and i had a cutting wheel break and hit me directly in the left testicle through a rip in the crotch of my work jeans, it was freezing cold, but i don't think i've ever sweat so bad in my life.
Any permanent damage done?
Nathan C luckily no, just painfully sore and discolored for a month and a half, then tender for close to 2 months after that. It was scary haha I thought for sure it was mangled, I was just happy to see there was no blood.
Nathan C I'd rather take a disc to the face with glasses three time than have that happen again. If I ever have to do a lot of grinding or cutting with a wheel, I'm investing in a cup, I'm not kidding.
I was cutting the rear bumper off a truck which was stomach hieght so I was holding it there cutting away throwing Sparks between my legs not thinking, when the wheel exploded
Foolin N'Spoolin that’s the real definition of blue balls right there 😂😂
You gotta always protect them mcnuggets
Sand the deck and put a new coat of linseed oil on it and a set of fenders! That tailor will look good then. Also wire up an LED strip to the very back of the trailor for break light so they can actually be seen by other drivers. Other than that, kick ass!
Re-staining the wood on the trailer would really complete the look
He could do a grey colored stain to match hit truck! would look sick
This was my immediate thought as well.
And paint the diamond steel black
It'll be to slippery down here in Florida ! Better to leave the wood natural
ram07ish I would just replace all the wood the wood near the front looked like it was possibly rotting or broken or a mix of both
Taylor, there's a lot of comments on here telling you to use a guard and everyone is 100% right, grinders are supplied with guards and a handle, there's s reason for this. Your so so lucky it didn't imbed in your face, arm or neck! All I wanna say is stand out from the rest of the youtubers using grinders now days and use a guard, you got lucky this time I would wanna risk it again.
Love you videos, keep up the good work.
. Scout aaahhhhhahahaha nice one champ! Good luck with that, I hope you know a decent plastic surgeon 👍 ha, "only men" smh
Scout: You mean that only DEAD men, STUPID men, and NAIVE men use a grinder without a guard. Picture in your mind a piece of that wheel shrapnel slicing through your jugular at high speed. The damage would be done before you could even blink. As you lay dying on the ground, you can also imagine what a MAN you were, and WORM FOOD you're going to be.
Exactly man, I laugh at all the guys who think they’re tough shit because they don’t use a guard and handle and rely on their “common sense” or “brain”. Yeah you’re not going to have either of those once your rotting 6 feet in the ground.
Alot of these comments are getting really annoying I would be willing to invite all of you to my job put a guard on my grinder and see if you can get my job done it's easier faster and you just can get more done without that guard in the way you just have to be smart enough to use it
Proper PPE, guards and face-shields are a must. Cutoff wheels are notorious for blowing to pieces when bound up - has legit killed people before. Deal with the sweaty brow and cumbersome shields and save yourself...literally
Iv gone threw like a thousand of cut off only had one blow apart it was because i was a noob and twisted the wheel they have never killed anyone ya cut you open good but never killed.
This is the most dangerous thing I have ever seen someone do. Yes a cutting disc can for no reason blow apart and that disc is spinning at 6000rpm + if a pice broke that's about the size of your finger nail and hit you in the eye or face it can seriously injure you, if your using a 9inch angle grinder without a guard then your asking for a pice the size of your hand to stick into your skull. And yes people have died from them. Not having a guard on one of them is your risking your life. Can't believe people are so stupid.
taking the miata since you're using the trailer and I mighta peeped it in adam's video
That trailer jack looks sketchy???what happens to plates after car bends them into ramps?
He had this trailer for a while and it never did bend, so I guess we will never know.
Hey, just get a new grinder with a guard. Also always use a face shield. Stay safe
RuinedSpec very true, rather spend the money on safer stuff Instead of a hospital bill or even worse
finally.. someone says something about that..
Time is money
Suicide grinder with timebomb chuck. Don't do what Donny don't does.
Don't rest the material on a speed square either. You're asking it to bind every single time.
I've built a number of trailers myself and turning any pile of scrap metal or poorly built junk pile project of someone else into something practical and user friendly usefull is always satisfying.
The first one I ever made was made from a old cultivator frame that I turned into a 6' x13' 6000# single axle flatbed some 20+ years ago. Still use it regularly.
Another one is a 8' x 20' 12K # flatbed I made from some 100+ year old riveted bridge frame iron. My #1 usage trailer now.
Also turned a old 14' x 70' trailer house frame into a 8' x 30' 18k # flatbed for a buddy of mine who uses that all the time too.
Beyond that I have made a number of other trailers out of other odd scrap iron and rebuilt several other peoples poorly done DIY attempts into decent reliable and safe to use rigs too.
Good job. I've yet to tackle a trailer job but I'm waiting patiently with my everlast welder ready.
yo... I used to work with a guy who's father in-law died from a twelve inch cutting disk blowing up. Make sure you leave the guards on, yeh they get in the way sometimes but could save ya from getting a bit of disc stuck in ya
Taylor, you're so lucky that didn't fly into your face. You need to wear a face shield, and your grinder needs a guard. Don't skip using safety equipment!
newer grinders have a safety shield that rotates around the head so that it doesn't stay in your way
When does the tig torch and foot pedal come out for em? I wanna get one soon
Dope! This past week I picked up a 10k lb car hauler that needs a bit of TLC as well. New tires, fenders, lights, replacing old hydraulic brakes with new electric ones, 7 way wiring all the way back, spring and hanger bushings replaced, maybe even a receiver tube on the deck to attach a winch in the future. I didn't even think to video it as one of my projects, but yours was good so maybe I should since i'm only half way in. Glad yours came out well
Plot twist- grindr date blows up in your face
ifs haha
Literally lol'd
Ayyyyyooooooo
Your camera work was dope in this video!
Connor Kennedy And da edit too.
Taylor - great real world application for your new skill, it's always so satisfying when you learn something new as you open up a whole new world of ways to fix things. Just one tip that I thought I'd share, when you were welding the ramp stays you had your resting hand leaning against the trailer which is probably comfortable but as you want to move it it'll skip over the surface and screw the weld up, it's always best to have your elbow relaxed leaning on the surface but allowing your arm (with your other welding arm resting on the relaxed arm) free to move if need be for longer welds like this - you'll feel uncomfortable doing it at first but once you get used to it, it'll be a night and day difference!
+iXiiN thanks for the advice! That's something I've been struggling with for sure!
When the welder is sitting on the trailer for the second light housing, you can see the amps make the power cord jump. Neat.
Oh cool had to go back and see that.. The cord is just getting hot and expanding maybe
Hey Taylor, the left and right rear side marker lights are required to be red in color according to the USDOT. Anyway, the trailer looks real good and keep up the great content.
Yep I was going to say the same thing yellow in the front red in the back also fenders are required were I live that will get you a ticket
We expect that from rudnick not you Taylor
I love the amount of effort you put into your videos, it really does show.
A tip for drilling thick steel. Slow the speed down. Helps keep the bit cool and will stay sharp longer. Also use penetrating oil on the bit to keep it cool. Drilling holes will be much easier and quicker
Thanks, now I’m scared to use a grinder lmao
Put jackstands under the trailer on the rear
...but that's not as cool.
I'd rather bag it.
Why add an extra step everytime you load instead of just fixing the problem and making something better?
pokry5 you only need to when you have alot of weight going on the trailer to keep it from putting stress on the ball and receiver
Nick Moore ah agreed. I was taking that as an instead of type fix. Good look
Thanks for showing me the shop lights! I bought them right after the video, they look great and work great!
Great job on the trailer. It’s crazy to see simple little things make such a difference. Keep up the vids.. love the content..
You are using hard wire, start pushing the puddle, it'll smooth the bead a whole lot and you'll ll be able to see what u doing better. And put on sleeves and a damn face shield!!!!!
Big like for the video as always but come on, get your guard and handle on the grinder, it came with them for a reason!!
Little tip, with solid wire mig welding you push not pull.
Hope that helps
Declan Brooks, when you see a grinder kick back and the blade impale someones forehead because they didn't used a handle, it kinda makes you want to look after yourself
Shouldnt be usin one if they cant hold it good enough. Fuck we use 9 inch with cut off blades at work
If tou cant handle it dont use it
Declan Brooks or just be safe ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Pushing or pulling mig will work fine, and grinder shields just get in the way
All the safety you need is common sense if you follow every safety protocol you never get work done
The way we work down here in the great land down under is the only safety protocol you need is a brain
Trailer looks sweet!!! Luv this type of vlog content
taylor your videos keep getting better and better as you go. great job keep up the good work
u gonna make a bracket to hold to spares on the trailer
I have never been so early!
Eric S. Your girlfriend disagreees
Welding looks awesome buddy! Definitely know what you mean it’s great doing something yourself
The grinder I had same problem made mine. I used a stock and turned it down after drilling it out. Have to see if I have the measurements s ome where.
10:30 skyline is legit
Carolina Boost ....yup hahahaha Im laughing bcus when you say skyline im looking for a nissan skyline....then I realize was the view .
Hey Taylor I suggest you should put the links of the products you Indorse from Amazon like 13:45 you can get the special link from Amazon everything someone (like me😊) clicks on your link and buys it Amazon will pay you and that's can be your easy side money for racecar! Lol and travel
Happy to see you getting into the fabrication side of motorsport. Looking good, cant wait to see your skill progress
Just randomly come across this video! You’ve come such a long way in 3 years dude. Well done 👍🏻
Should have a guard on it ... Period safety seriously isnt a joke
Period safety could be a joke.
j0m017 you win the internet
j0m017 hahaha lol
its not the grinders lack of a guard that made him unsafe it was the retarded cup on the arbor that bent the brittle material
LoL... if you're wearing a pair of sunglass style safety glasses and your mom's pruning gloves then yes...if you're wearing your full face hood between welding and your heavy welding gloves the disintegrating disc will do very little .Guards are for folks who aren't smart enough to even understand how to hold the tool based on the wheels direction of rotation so they don't cut themselves.
My grinders just require flipping the arbor nut over to switch between a thick grinder wheel and cutoff wheels. And put the damned guard on! Oh, and they make a face shield for that, too. Good thing you wear glasses...
im wondering where did you buy the ramps they look like they would work for my trailer thanks.
Love this intro, I can only imagine how long that took but it came out so well👍🏼
And that's why you use the fucking guard on a grinder.
setra23 wait why do you use it? I mean, he was uninjured so it's not the best example
1CoLoRz2 because he got fucking luck next time he wont
So you don't get shards of high speed disk being flung at your face. You'll not always be so lucky.
1CoLoRz2 you clearly haven't gotten hit by a cutting disk spinning at 13,000 rpm while your welding
Never weld and cut ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
While we're on the topic of things you shouldn't do while using angle grinders, you should never use gloves when working with rotary tools and you should never use an angle grinder without a guard. I don't want to sound like a negative nancy, but even more so I don't want to see you get hurt- I've gotta see the miata swap! In all seriousness though, stay safe. Thanks for another awesome vid!
yeh i agree, is cringe worthy seeing people using gloves on linishers too... but yeh i have been save by eye protection and the guard enough times to make it worth using
i use harbor frieghts leather work glove bc the seams are shit and if i catch itll just rip
its better to use gloves with grinders, especially the thick padded welding gloves, i used to do a lot of grinding on pipe lines and sometimes the grinder would snag and itd ge tmy hand, luckily i had gloves on. the gloves get ruined but your hands will thank you
yeh... i personally don't use gloves with a grinder, but with a linnisher or grind wheel etc the last thing you want is for the glove to either get caught and pull your hand into the machine, or the glove to get pulled off, along with your skin
No gloves will save your fingers if those gloves get caught
really enjoyed the style you have going on with your videos now (y)
Nice project Taylor! I'm escpeialy exited about this video because i just bought a welder for car projects also. Kemppi Minarcmig 200 Evo. It's so satisfying to watch your own work coming together. Just like woah, I can melt metal pieces together now! You can fabricate so much with even the cheapest welders, it's a must have tool for diyers
We already know you took the miata because Adams video
DieselDriven but you dont have to say anything for those that dont. Or watch taylor first because I think his channel is better....
Ps... im still going to watch adams vajao next.
rip
Took the miata? yo I'm lost ahaha
he's driving the miata. adaam showed it in his video
ruclips.net/video/6i43TzUJhsQ/видео.htmlm33s
Love the videos bro! Keep it up.
What type of paint did you use and does it all blend in or does it leave streaks
You really shouldn’t be welding on the trailer with it hooked to the truck unless you have the battery’s disconnected on the truck.
Patrick Kelley jr It doesn’t do anything. That’s a myth.
That's complete BS I was welding on my truck with an arc welder didn't have the battery is disconnected and it fried my starter ever since then always disconnected batteries
juuurrrt no it’s fucking not. Clearly you’ve never welded on vehicles lmao
Even if you understood basic welding or how electricity works you’d know it’s not a myth. You’re shoving massive amounts of amps and voltage through metal conductive parts and wires rated at 5amps max in some cases. It’s sure as fuck going to fry or burn parts
how to turn a $800 trailler into a $1800 trailer:
duct tape an iphone x on it
Just add $1,000 in parts and labor.
nice set up, on the trailer my shop has we tosses a pickup tool box on the front frame before the deck. winch and battery are out of the weather and plenty room for storage
might think about a guard for the grinder, so many of the Americans don't seem to have them.
Long sleeves for welding too to save your skin from burning.
Buy the same grinder take it off and return it saying it's missing the part. Not the most ethical but you'll fix your grinder for free
Nate Figueroa definitely not ethical. Not something I’d do these days. In my younger days though I would have I’m sure.
lol. Problem solved!
. Scout you seem upset... I'm sorry your a bitch 😂😂
. Scout but really why does that bother you so much ?
Jimmeh B I think you should get off your high horse
3:31 thank me later
jared christian facts
0:00 thank me later.
ty
thanks :D
TheSoulFallen...
LMFAO! That's just fuckin funny....
Love the dirty 12 valve!
Glad you're ok bro!
I won't be watching any more videos from this guy, click bait title did not deliver then VERY unsafe shop practices, lucky he did not lose any eye
You should check out is newer content it's a lot more refined.
Hey! He was using his safety squints.
F u
I don’t know anything about welding, but can you do a downward stroke or do you have to go sideways?
Realy good work Taylor! Nice welds!
love your videos man! keep up the good work! :)
Good job. Always good to have a grinder and welder in the shop. I'm not sure what I'd do without my everlast welder handy.
Dude your video quality is on par keep it up
Up next? Stain the wood! Build metal fenders! And a little metal railing around the perimeter of the trailer! Maybe a tire rack and a spot to mount your ramps! There's a lot more welding you could do I like to see it! Hopefully there's more fun diy improvements on the trailer soon
I just had an OSHA course about grinders and as soon as i saw your grinder it mad me think of the class
Excellent shots bro!!
Is the tool you checked the lights with just a voltmeter or something else?
Did you keep the trailer connected up to the truck while you was welding . I hope your alternator is ok ?
How was the vucan omnipro? Were you running it on 220 or the 110?
Goals man, I need a tow rig!
I have ordered a set of two of the cut off wheel nuts for my desalt grinders off of e bay
I hear the guard helps as well to keep discs spinning at 11k rpm to be less likely to hit you
I have the same set up on my trailer for my ramps I have never had a problem with the ramp jumping off the trailer.
The sunset at 10:25 is awesome! Vulcan OmniPro 220... The "Miller Killer"
Hey Taylor, I have an e36 318i that I'm prepping for drifting, I'm tight on funds so do you think it would be better to go for a roll cage first or a 2.5 engine? Want to take it to the track asap.
safety first. You don't need allot of power to start drifting
Cage. The 1.8 can drift already. I mean look at Hoonigans shit car
Darka lias I know how to drift, have drifted in my uncles cars before on a track, just wanna be smart with this project haha
Nice welds!! Thx for the vid!!
Just liked and subbed!! Love your content!!
Nice truck and great job on the trailer
Let's see some more of that awesome truck!
You did a good job on the welds on the ramps. Turn the heat up a little so the puddle flows into the joint a little more. It will be more concave that way. Again, good job.
Right on! 👊
I have the same grinder home depot carriers replacement grinder 5/8 backing piece and locking piece.
Nice truck!
How well do you like, the Vulcan welder
Easy good work!!!
Very nice man..
Just found your channel. Looks like you do some shopping at HF too 😁
Was the trailer still hooked up to the truck while he was welding?
i just rebuilt my car hauler trlr, fenders are 72in x 11in with 12in inner skirt. then mount trlr lights at back of fender or weld 2x2ln angle iron from frame to rear edge of fender, do same for front. mount trlr lights at back of trlr so both sides can be seen at same time looks good still a ways to go
This was a rad video dude.
Quick easy up grade good and good background music.
Love that old truck buddy! Cool! When I come to Florida I need someone to hang out with in October. Ever seen a random mainer hop into any vehicle and slay everything? Yeah, thats me lol
Good job on the trailer. amazing how some lights and a few rattle cans cam make a difference. Are trailer brakes not required in your area?
Wow, you put so much work into this video o.0
Nice job overall. You did a bunch to make an OK trailer even better to suit your needs.
A few things I would do a little differently:
The ramp retainers - I would have rounded all the edges and corners, just because at some point you may get in a hurry, and slicing open your hand on those will make you cuss.
The electrical -
Not sure if your light enclosures have a ground stud in them, if not, welding in a stud is a real time saver.
Pull a full length ground from the connector all the way to each light and trailer brake connection. Bond them to the trailer at these locations. It seems that most trailer electrical problems are almost always ground related. You can never have too much of a ground.
I tack in conduit for my wiring to run in to prevent as much rodent and weather damage as possible. It's a bummer to hook up to your trailer just to find out a field mouse had a snack of your wiring, and now you're rewiring the trailer when you should be loading up for a trip.
Fenders - Even though your home state may not require them, they're still a good idea. If your car doesn't fit with them on, you may want to sell this one, and buy another trailer. Some states will ticket you for no fenders, not sure if you ever travel out of state, but something to consider.
One of the best vids ever
@04:23, cant u just take that cupped backing plate and put it kn backwards, so the cupped side faces the grinder instead of facing the cutting disck, that would iliminate the flex on cuting disk while tightening the retaining nut.
Still need that piece for the grinder 😅. Harbor freight and home depot now sell them i keep a few in my tool box just for when I miss place them
