- Hey guys, here's an oddly long video of gate repairs to a small dump trailer. It was a longer video than I expected. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and as I always say, This is how I did it, not how to do it. Kick back and enjoy.

I love the way you are able to cut steel like a surgeon
" transfer the problem to the next inadequate stress point ".....it just occurred to me Ive been doing that all my life, in Lotsa ways.
Thanks Isaac, a craftsman and philosopher ! Cheers.
Go easy I say after wiping a tear away! 😂 . Chelsea Farmer said that
As always, great video. Nothing like sitting here with a coffee and watching a craftsman do his job with perfection.
Been welding for 35 years and learn something almost every time I watch you. Different isn't worse - it's new! You are great at it - Keep it up and Keep Delivering content!!!
Not only will they NOT put grease in the hinges, they will knock the Zerk fittings off. Thanks for the video. Jon
Never welded/cut anything in my life. His confidence alone speaks volumes. Just goes at it. Amazing to watch.
You just gotta go for it sometimes. Hesitation will have you there all day deciding where you wanna start.
Isaac , You are the man . I am not a professional at all but my skill level and confidence has increased at least 100% by watching and understanding your repairs . Thank you very much
It would appear you try and do what’s best for the customer, and not always what the customer requests, like in this video, they wanted just a patch, which might have held for a bit, but would probably fail sooner or later, but you did a much stronger repair, which will last the customer much longer, saving them money in the long run, great job
It's good, hearing you think out loud. Maybe the best part.
I think you could cut my wedding ring off without burning my finger! You are awesome my friend!
I don't know if your doing your own editing, but whoever does it is doing an outstanding job! It really makes your videos enjoyable to watch! Your a fine craftsman Sir!
I agree. The timing of the welds on the second door with the music was very well done.
I was thinking the same!
As a beginner RUclipsr, I understand the amount of effort it takes to put out videos of this quality!
What a sense of satisfaction it must be to know you made that better than original and should last a long time.
The way you did it was way better than how I thought about doing it.
Words from a man you can trust 🙂
Hope one day I can meet you Isaac! You have been one of my teachers in my welding journey. Almost like a professor of sorts. Thank you.
Maybe one day!👍👍
A real bear of a job but you got there - patience and perseverance, with a pretty tedious dissection, followed by the build. Great to see the plasma cutter employed a bit differently and some clever tricks as well. Great work as usual Isaac :)
I like how you ingrate videos that the common guy may need to do on his diy equipment from his garage.
Thanks for what you upload Man. I don't work in your line of work but I really enjoy watching you problem solving abilities. Thank you 👍👍👍.
Most excellent repair!
Thank you so very much for schoolin me up on this stuff!
You Rock!
Thank you Isaac. Your repair will be the only strong part of the trailer.😊
I would’ve tooken off the hinges. Put a thicker flat bar. Welded flat bar and then weld hinges back. That just me not trying to step on nobody. You do good work sir.
That's you easy short cut.
Prly would of had to do some bending to the hinges , adding flat stock would put them out of alignment
Either way million ways to skin a squirrel
@@lalitoojos I don’t work hard I work smart.
I’ve been welding for 30 freaking years. I’ll talk the talk cus I can cover my words. That’s all I got. Dropped the mic 🎤
Good to see you caped the tops of the tube sqr stock. Nice job.
Isaac, I LOVE your channel. I watch many welding channels but you are the only one that I see welding heavy stuff like construction equipment, which get unique stress issues. I have learned more from you than anywhere else. Please keep up the GREAT videos!
I’m glad to see you closed off the ends of the tube! I was hoping you would do that. You didn’t let me down!👍
Sometimes you have to do stuff yourself to have it done right. Good Job.
The sync with the music at 41 minutes was genius. Great work, great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.
Enjoyed the music and welding, video editing very creative.
Jazz music?! Awesome!
I think whomever employed you for this job got a lot better result then they expected!
Perfect repair ever done...
I liked seeing a project that we normal people can do! It shows that you are not above doing an easy project! :) Thanks for the show.
Glad it was helpful!
Another happy customer!
You make it all look easy.
I love these videos, I wouldn't mind you filming your every job, because it will be awesome.
Nice job on setting the gaps on the doors👍🙂 As s bodyman of 30yrs, setting gaps is everything lol😄 Thank you for another great video.👍
He’s a surgeon with the arc gouger, torch and the plasma cutter. Amazing accuracy.
Not going to lie your freehand plasma cutting is on point!
You are the best fixer ever
nice footage at 46min, can really see that plasma jet doing its work.
I almost cried as I witnessed the genius of that hinge jig you used!
You are a master.
Nice repair, that should be one more happy customer.
As an unrated amateur, I learn so much and enjoy the videos. Thanks
Isaac, if I said it once, I've said it a million times....You are a Grandmaster
Verry nice job, I like the detail of the caps welded on the square tubes, no more dirt inside now.
Great job , i liked those Clamps that you used never seen clamps like that .
What make are the clamps please.....
@@chascarpenter5006 i don't know
@@chascarpenter5006 i just looked them up , Bessey ratchet clamp and Wilton
Exelente amigo buen trabajo, DIOS te bendiga 🙏 y te proteja siempre 🙏
Great repair. I think you were right with your idea that they may have lifted the box with the doors unlatched, hence the reason the top hinge was recessed a bit. Love your workmanship! Thanks Isaac. Be well
Plasma, the ultimate carving tool! Just keep whittling until it's right.
Always a great job. Strong work, Isaac.
So enjoyable to watch a pro at work. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely enjoy your videos.
My employee opened a trailer exactly like this and bent the doors just as you were describing. It was a sad day. We heated the hinges and bent the door back with an excavator and bucket. It was a BigTex trailer, not sure if they use better metal around their hinges, but I'm glad they didn't rip off like this.
This was a Big Tex trailer as well. Maybe a cheaper model with lighter metal.
Seeing you have a bit of trouble getting a good ground on the tarp loop reminded me of an experience I had. Years ago, I had a ground clamp heat up and destroy itself itself in the clamp hinge pin area while I was in the middle of a job. To get me through that, I took the cable ground cable off of the mutilated clamp and used a pair of vise grip pliers to clamp the cable eyelet terminal down to the piece I was welding, which then caused me to think.................................let's weld a tab of steel onto the vise grips and attach the cable to the vise grips. I bought a new pair of vise grips but I never bought a new spring loaded ground clamp and I am still happy with my "temporary", emergency ground clamp.
That $6.98 hat seals the deal 😂
nice job.the new hinges was the right move
Isaac, as always. Your the man!! Amazing skills, Although I know you'll disagree and down play it. But that doesn't make it any less of a fact.
Thank You Sir for bringing us along and for all the time and effort to do so. It's greatly appreciated.
Have a good one and be safe out there!!
Fill the gap with mig..... 100% penitration. Tamato-Tomota 🙂 Another great video sir!
Learned something new today! Long arc plasma cutting! Thanks!
That’s definitely an upgrade to factory! Awesome job as usual. I think this video was a “how to do it.” I am sure that is going to hold up for a long time!
Amazing work with the plasma cutter.
Great job as always. Love your professionalism.
That’s cool to see gouging with a plasma cutter without having to use air arc gouging 😄👍 You took me to school on this one🙂👍
I’ll bet your son put the music to this. It’s very good regardless.
I like that you capped the tops, keeps the dirt and water out. Great video.
I agree that your way was definitely the right way. However, if you use a fairly large patch panel, it will spread the load from the hinges, reducing the leverage on the thinner tube. If the manufacturer had faced the hinge side with 3/16 or 1/4 plated, it probably would have solved the problem.
I know his way is the right way, but if that was my trailer I would of removed the hinges, put a piece of 3/16 flat the entire length. put the hinges back on, and called it good enough. I am not sure I could cut that piece out without making a mess of it.
Always a pleasure to watch your order of operations and work
Nice work. I've repaired the same problem on a trailer like that. I also welded caps on the top of the tube and added a drain hole at the bottom.
Would have been my thought too.
He did cap the tubes he replaced. He just doesn't mention it. I saw the caps just at the end of the video.
The key is to have shiny new zerk fittings.
My 6 x 12 hydraulic dump trailer is in need of a new floor and some supports. I just picked it up a few months ago and the previous owner used in a business where he'd leave it at your house, then pick it up when you filled it. A lot of grass clippings were left in the bed which held water and helped to rot out the floor. The 11 gauge 6 x 12 sheet of steel needed for the floor is going to set me back $616.00. I've also got to replace the bed hinges, one seized up and tore loose from the frame, which caused the bed to kick to one side and come into contact with the fender.
Nice job on the tailgate doors you really need to think about how to deconstruct the doors to keep the metal that you need to attach to the new metal too. Another great video, thanks.
I'm glad to see that you capped the tube that you installed so dirt and debris cannot drop inside of it again. I wondered if you drilled a hole in the bottom so it can breathe or maybe it's not necessary in Texas? Where I'm at, the tube will rust out internally from condensation with the change of seasons if it is not allowed to breathe. Thanks for another great video!
Agree with you 100%. The original gage metal was too light. Replacing with a heaver gage tube is the way to go.
I liked the way you fitted up the rebuilt doors to the trailer... First class...
Issac , it's always a good learning experience to watch a true tradesmen work.😉😁
Wow, a true master at work, doing art work with metal, great job, keep up the great work.
Issaac Your way you done the stich welding with the mig was very helpful, Thanks for putting in all the time to do these videos is highly appreciated!!
A friend asked me to build him a tandem axle dump trailer..... "I wanna use two 2000lb axles and I want be able to haul 4000lbs." I said...."whats the trailer supposed to weigh?" lol I told him he needed 3500lb axles to do what he wanted to do, he said no. So I built the trailer, turned out sweet! He blew a tire and said I wanna order 3500lb axles! So we did.
Alot of people dont understand engineering and how beefy things need to be.
Excellent repair and upgrade, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful job my friend 👍cheers from California
eclectic musical accompaniment. interesting viewpoint on gusseting as that's what i would do. your way makes a lot of sense.
And thank YOU for posting another great video!
I love the audio tracks Isaac.
You truly do nice, quality work. I appreciate seeing and learning
the techniques you employ.
What the salesperson will tell you is the lite steel is to weight. That way you get better gas mileage when pulling it when empty. I saw this with rolloff boxes. What use to be 3/16 was changed to 11 ga. Tube and the 3/16 side walls are now 10ga. What it did was make alot of work for the people that fix them.
Thank you Issac. I always seem to learn new things. Im never to old to learn. Thank you again
Love watching your videos Isaac, you explain the project clearly and describe why you think the part has failed, what is required to rectify the problem and why you want to do it that particular way to make a good workmanlike repair that will last great video too, you are getting rather good at this.
Good job. Most times I can't quite figure out what you're doing and why. You seem to just cut all over the place, but somehow it works. Thumbs up !
I love repairing broken stuff . The plasma cutter is so handy
Another job well done. Sir. You are the greatest.
Brilliant man love watching and learning thank ❤️👀👀👀👀👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
True craftsmanship.
Nice to see that you closed up the new square tube pieces on the top, will make it last longer and easier to work on for the next guy, proably you as well!
Great job and great vid, thx for showing!
👍👍👍
some times, you are like a surgeon with those cuts. Amazing reduction of welds and cuts.
Plasma cutters are awesome ! Good job as usual !!!
As always the best
I really enjoyed that repair Isaac. those are some heavy doors. I have rebuild drive up ramp/gate for some mowing trailers. But nothing like this. Thank you for the video.
Top job young man. Always tricky taking the end off a tailgate or dropside.
I love watching your work!
It’s always impeccable!
You are the wizard of welding!
Excellent as always
Another great job from the Master...thanks for sharing.
Great repair, I wondered if you were going to cap the tubes to prevent them filling with dirt again and though you didn't show it I noticed that you did. Good job. Never hurts to improve a poorly designed system when doing a repair.
Slick work.
Big Tex needs to take note.. Js
Mighty fine cutting and welding !! God Bless!!
Thanks for your time. Excellent job
Great work and a great video as usual.
