" 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.
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!
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!!!
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.
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
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.
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!
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 :)
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.
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.
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!!
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!
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.
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
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!
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
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!!
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! 👍👍👍
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.
Hi Isaac, nice repair. First can you say where the new hinges came from? Also if you do something like this again please show fit of doors before .... it would highlite what you were trying to achieve with finished product. I also would have tried out fit with hinges just tacked up to be sure no adjustments needed before welding. Thanks for posting!
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.
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.
Hello Isaac. That’s a familiar looking job. A helpful hint: try Hypertherm’s designated gouging consumables for washing out the old welds. They are awesome! I use my 45XP as much, if not more, for gouging than I do for cutting. Be blessed.
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.
I love your power of foresight. You know so well what's coming to you, that it's all taken care of along the way. BTW Hyperterm came out with a plasma flush cut tip a bit like you can get on Oxi-Acetylene.
Hi here in Australia as in USA everone wants cheap trailers so it the metal used gets thinner and thinner here trailer rego number plate cost are base the wright so the lighter the trailer the cheaper the rego cost my 1500kg car trailer cost $200 per yr due weight but your standard boat trailer only $80 i made trailer to carry my boat and have made dropin wire/pipe side gate for hauling rubish or moving what ever love your vids
I am always intrigued when I visit your channel and certainly impressed at all aspects of your works nothing short of amaseing even if the jobs one of those stuck pins on a man lift a cracked and twisted boom or a worn out case side dump scoop bucket you keep sharp and on point and do what ever is required to get that job done as always well done sir and your apprentice has some big shoes to fill ahead of him..

Thanks Isaac, a craftsman and philosopher ! Cheers.
Go easy I say after wiping a tear away! 😂 . Chelsea Farmer said that
I love the way you are able to cut steel like a surgeon
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!
Not only will they NOT put grease in the hinges, they will knock the Zerk fittings off. Thanks for the video. Jon
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!!!
I love the music playing plus seeing what a good job he is doing as usual
I think you could cut my wedding ring off without burning my finger! You are awesome my friend!
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.
The way you did it was way better than how I thought about doing it.
Words from a man you can trust 🙂
That poor trailer hasn’t been shown much love and affection, until now 😀. Splendid work, and enjoyed the dog having a little stretch there too ☺️
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 🎤
Not going to lie your freehand plasma cutting is on point!
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!
Good to see you caped the tops of the tube sqr stock. Nice job.
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
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!👍
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."

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
The sync with the music at 41 minutes was genius. Great work, great video. Thanks for sharing your expertise with us.
I think whomever employed you for this job got a lot better result then they expected!
I like how you ingrate videos that the common guy may need to do on his diy equipment from his garage.
Thank you Isaac. Your repair will be the only strong part of the trailer.😊
Sometimes you have to do stuff yourself to have it done right. Good Job.
Isaac, if I said it once, I've said it a million times....You are a Grandmaster
What a sense of satisfaction it must be to know you made that better than original and should last a long time.
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 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.
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 :)
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.👍
Enjoyed the music and welding, video editing very creative.
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 👍👍👍.
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 footage at 46min, can really see that plasma jet doing its work.
Most excellent repair!
Thank you so very much for schoolin me up on this stuff!
You Rock!
Fill the gap with mig..... 100% penitration. Tamato-Tomota 🙂 Another great video sir!
It's good, hearing you think out loud. Maybe the best part.
Seeing you have a bit of trouble getting a good ground on the tarp loop reminded me of an experience I had.

Always a great job. Strong work, Isaac.

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.
Oops, I forgot to mention the background music. It was great.
He’s a surgeon with the arc gouger, torch and the plasma cutter. Amazing accuracy.
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!!
You are living proof that you can make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear! I’ve seen you do it many times.😂
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!
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.
Issac , it's always a good learning experience to watch a true tradesmen work.😉😁
nice job.the new hinges was the right move
Verry nice job, I like the detail of the caps welded on the square tubes, no more dirt inside now.
I’ll bet your son put the music to this. It’s very good regardless.
I was taught that it’s “ain’t no hill for a stepper.” Regardless, you are one heck of a stepper!!
So enjoyable to watch a pro at work. Thanks for sharing.
I love repairing broken stuff . The plasma cutter is so handy
As an unrated amateur, I learn so much and enjoy the videos. Thanks
Amazing work with the plasma cutter.
Great job as always. Love your professionalism.
I liked the way you fitted up the rebuilt doors to the trailer... First class...
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.

Agree with you 100%. The original gage metal was too light. Replacing with a heaver gage tube is the way to go.
Kinda cocky with the plasma! Heh? Lol...nice work I learned new approach , Awesome thank you
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!
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🙂👍
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!👍👍
I like that you capped the tops, keeps the dirt and water out. Great video.
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
Your logic of kicking the can down the road is always so refreshing. Patch plates suck.
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!!
Plasma, the ultimate carving tool! Just keep whittling until it's right.
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!

Exelente amigo buen trabajo, DIOS te bendiga 🙏 y te proteja siempre 🙏
Always a pleasure to watch your order of operations and work
Wow, a true master at work, doing art work with metal, great job, keep up the great work.
You truly do nice, quality work. I appreciate seeing and learning
the techniques you employ.
Hi Isaac, nice repair. First can you say where the new hinges came from?

I also would have tried out fit with hinges just tacked up to be sure no adjustments needed before welding. Thanks for posting!
I picked these up at the local trailer sales place. they usually carry misc replacement items.
some times, you are like a surgeon with those cuts. Amazing reduction of welds and cuts.
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.
Learned something new today! Long arc plasma cutting! Thanks!
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 !
Top job young man. Always tricky taking the end off a tailgate or dropside.
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.

Jazz music?! Awesome!
Excellent repair and upgrade, thanks for sharing.
eclectic musical accompaniment. interesting viewpoint on gusseting as that's what i would do. your way makes a lot of sense.

dang thats alot of dirt, designed to hold moisture to help speed rusting out faster!! engineering at its finest
True craftsmanship.
I love your power of foresight. You know so well what's coming to you, that it's all taken care of along the way. BTW Hyperterm came out with a plasma flush cut tip a bit like you can get on Oxi-Acetylene.
Yes, yes. I have those. except this wasn't my hypertherm plasma. Ill be making a video with a new attachment for the Hyper soon. hang tight!!
nice job! finally some exemplary work
