This video is what I do love about the RUclips community. People can share ideas and stuff. Removing that weld seam was brilliant. Not likely something I would have come up with and I've been machining and fabricating a long time. The build is similar to something I've had percolating in my head for years. It's great we can learn things and pass them on.

Hi Donn, That seam removal was genius, I always considered myself pretty good at custom fabricating, but you are lights years ahead of the game. Just a joy to see how you make things work. Take care my friend, and thanks for the video.
This is the first episode that YT suggested I watch. That's when I decided to wait until each segment was done so I could watch the whole series start/finish; a great decision. Since I'd never heard of this channel before then I now have MANY series to watch start/finish; *after I subscribe that is.* 👍
you can buy seamless tubing in any size, when i build a big trailer an set it up so the wheels can move back an forth i dont used a tubing as salt, mud an rush freezes them solid, just 2 heavy flat bars on the side in 3 spots with a spring loaded pin, one on each side. same way a tractor trailer is made
I tell you what, your channel and maybe acouple of others are my favorites!! It's amazing to watch all the things you build! Thank you for sharing your time with us 👏!
Your build quality is going through the roof brother. Very impressive 👏. An inspiration for everyone trying to solve an problem by creating something from nothing and some re-purposed parts and materials and end up with a tool or machine that nobody else has and everyone wants. We'll done
The Fireball channel has a video on removing these weld seams in other simple ways. Everybody comes up with a different solution, but its always good to know one or two more tricks. Awesome job!
Great idea for getting them welds shaved down. This build is one of my favorite. Thanks Donn love what your doin. See you on the next episode my dude..
Brilliant idea on cutting that weld seam down. I’ll remember that. I just did one with a long chisel in the air hammer, it worked but that is a great idea the way you did it.
You got to do the hand tool rescue thing when using a sand blaster !!! Also just got cough up on the build, lot beefier then I expected and the log crane is sweet!
Your engineering skills are second to none. Your craftsmanship is amazing an inspiring love all ur content as usual. Just keep doin you buddy ur talent an skill is amazing.
6:20 those look almost identical to those that are used in our mechanical garbage sorting machine we use at work. They lock the pullies to the eccentric shaft that move the sieves. All powered by one big electric motor. The forces involved are a bit teriffying to me I can't wait to finally see your trailer in full action!
Looks good Donn. One suggestion that we use at work, when using a roll of tape, bend the last few mm of the tape back on itself to make a pull tab for removal. Its so much easier than looking for the end of the tape, either on the roll, or where you applied the tape.
Great looking work that you do, Donn. Fireball Tool had a good way of using high speed steel and a piece of steel cut to the shape of the inside of the tubing for removing the weld seam, so that even if the seam is off-center in the tube it will still cut it out. just need some all-thread rod to go with it.
I appreciate fireball's ideas/builds; especially the vise he built awhile back, but the nonstop talking/explaining finally drove me away. I tried the "mute," but he does much of his work when he's not talking, so nothing was happening [on my end]. Don't misunderstand, I get talking re: some of the important parts of a build, but Donn's captions are enough for the 95% who get what they're seeing. If not, questions will fix those frowns: 🙁🤔😏😉😃😁
@@DanKoning777 Everyone has a style that they enjoy to watch and a style they don't enjoy as much. Lucky for us that there are so many people contributing here.
I am LIKING this trailer! Very impressively done. The adjustable driven axle is a 1st, that I know of. There are plenty of adjustable trailer axles (most of the 18 wheeler trailers in North America, I think), but I've not heard of one this small, nor of a driven adjustable one. You'll have to keep the slider greased up so it'll work well, but keep on top of the daily grease points, and you'll be on decently good shape. I'd build the slider differently, with either teflon slides or conveyor rollers, but this'll work well. I'm looking forward to seeing it with both final drives in place, and being tested for fore-and-aft movement of the entire arrangement. That will validate whether this will work. I think it's an idea that should be further explored. Good job!!
I like your line boring idea for removing the weld seam. I thought you were just going scrape the seam away by moving the carriage with the 'planer' fixed to the round bar... I always enjoy your videos! Thanks for sharing
Read the manual on the keyless coupling. You are actually supposed to tighten the bolt next to the bolt you just did and go in a circle, a few times. So not like a car wheel or steam valve etc. And use a torque wrench. They work great though, less machining, wider tolerance and better centered. Keep it up!
Another Great Video Donn .. only problem never enough hours in a day .. love the way you cut the weld out ,, hope the drive shaft part slides longer and shorter just as well ..
good job on the weld seam but most people would just use an angle grinder to cut a groove in the other tube for the weld seam to ride in . it takes all of 15 minutes to grind a small channel in the tube for the weld and saves a days work . still your answer was very elegant and makes for a better looking job in the end .
I made boring bars for the lathe when I was in the Navy. I drilled all the way through, broached the hole square. Drilled and tapped hole for set screw(grub screw) to hold cutter and used a depth micrometer to set the cutting distance.
Fireball Tool make a hole video about removing weld seams from tubing. Maybe wanna have a look in case you have to do it again? keep up the great work.
Those axels are heavy duty! Interesting way of removing the seem in the box section we usually just use a die grinder but wouldn’t end up as clean as that
You should look into a surface conditioning tool, it uses drums that are either just scotch-brite or a combination of sand paper and scotch-brite and sand paper. It strips rust and scale right off of metal
Clever 🥹 some Quick attachers tho a ”bucket” on the wagon and bucket attachment to the crane and you gona have à nice setup with dual posibillites, Sorry for bad grammar, Cher’s from Sweden 😊
took the long road around to make a shorten straight axle. of course there was play on the end, the stub shaft clip into the diff. for me i would just use a cut down 9in. ive designed several 6x6 trucks using cut down ford 9in. my design makes 6 wheel drive with independent suspension.
cools down my room very well and yes it does come with the panels (i made the mistake of assuming that it didn’t since no one in the reviews mentioned it or even the description and bought a whole separate pair)
This thing is going to weigh about the same as the moon by the time you're finished! And I probably would have just used a powerfile to remove the inner box seams.
Yea those shafts hanging out the diff are going though the walk be bearings So the walking beam will be taking weight But so will the diffs The bears that he's not yet mounted thall go on the slide tubes will take most of the weight but they'll pivot and sorta try to lever the diff down That free play he's worried about Once on the ground and loaded the walking bes will have a camber effect leaning in at the top, it prob won't be enough to notice but you can imagine the forces being applied though the diff Independent suspension diffs like this BMW one usually don't take any vehicle weight they're only supose to drive the CVs not have any side load on them Honestly it'll prob not do enough work to really wear it out but it'll be intresting to see how it goes
I've thought about doing something similar but with an electric motor for those times when things get sticky. It would also be nice to use to move the trailer around the house and into tight spots.
I really hope the center diff can take the load. Normally the wheel bearing/ hub is very close the the wheel center line which basically takes the leverage off the bearings in the diff. With only one spherical bearing per side the diff is going to be supporting a lot of load compared to a normal car. Is it not possible to use a solid axle from a truck…I guess the gears would be different. Great video I hope it works!!!
I am worried about the diff as well. If one of the wheel assemblies hits an obstacle (plenty of those in the forrest), it will put a huge load on the diff. I really hope it all works out, but I would not do it this way. Using a second outboard bearing to take the load and let the diff float free of external forces seems a lot more in line with the diff's original purpose. The diff housing is not designed to take bending loads from the output shafts.
Ok, so you both missed the fact this diff will drive tandem wheels mounted in walking beam style? The load will be borne by the bearings in the walking beam.
@@haroldphipps3457 a typically walking beam suspension still has the main load riding on springs which are very close to the wheel centerline. It's just like a seesaw. The pivot point is in the middle and the load will balance.the wheels and the center diff will see the same load. The bearings need to be as close to the wheel centerline as possible so the axle works like a lever and not the seesaw. Walking beam or not the current set up the center diff is probably not going to be very Happy. Some of those diffs don't even have bearings, they just use bushing because they are meant to take rotational load not radial.

Pretty clever solution in removing the weld seam!
Seriously, I’m not sure I would’ve thought about doing it that way, but it worked so well!
The last time I removed a weld seam, I used flap wheel sanding discs on a homemade extension on a cordless drill, only took about 30 odd wheels and 2 days of cursing lol, Donn is certainly an inspiration, I was making adjustable legs for a trailer.
Smart but also dangerous, in my opinion

It will be intresting to see how the diff bearings and splines hold up to the weight and the cir clips cankeep the axles in when cornering
I as well have a lot of questions about this. And doubts.
The diff won't be taking any of the weight or side loading - that will be done by the walking beam bearings.
Yea those shafts hanging out the diff are going though the walk be bearings
So the walking beam will be taking weight
But so will the diffs
The bears that he's not yet mounted thall go on the slide tubes will take most of the weight but they'll pivot and sorta try to lever the diff down
That free play he's worried about
Once on the ground and loaded the walking bes will have a camber effect leaning in at the top, it prob won't be enough to notice but you can imagine the forces being applied though the diff
Independent suspension diffs like this BMW one usually don't take any vehicle weight they're only supose to drive the CVs not have any side load on them
Honestly it'll prob not do enough work to really wear it out but it'll be intresting to see how it goes
That's going to be sweet. Love it Donn.
