I like many of the design features of this Vevor saw setup. I did something similar about a month ago, except I bought the Harbor Freight saw stand and one of their bandsaws. The HF stand has an adjustable fence for cutting angles, but no clamp! The HF stand also mounts differently - it bolts on in the front, then the handle is squeezed by two rubber-padded screws in the back. Yes, it is removable, but not nearly as easy as the Vevor. The HF unit was a real PIA to adjust so it would cut square. I REALLY like the way the Vevor saw mounts and dismounts! You are really going to like this saw Tony! I first used them at work, starting in 1982! They were Porta-Band saws, made by Porter Cable. I eventually bought my own, a Milwaukee Deep Cut saw, many years later. It replaced an old horizontal bandsaw I had. I still have the Milwaukee, and use it often. I guess my point here is that you might want to buy another, "saw only" from Vevor or wherever, and leave that one mounted in the stand. They really are that handy that I think it would be worth it for you . Thanks for all the great content!!!

I have one of those. The hitch has a pin mounting the hitch to the tube so the trailer can pivot side to side without binding the hitch

My Dad and I built a walking beam trailer back in the late 70’s early 80’ to pull behind our 3 wheeler. We put the walking beam on a swivel so the rear tire could swing over the front tire. It worked awesome because what the first tire wouldn’t crawl over the walking beam flipped over and the rear tire placed itself in the front over the object.

Might want to add a collar welded around the mouth of your receiver tube as it is pretty thin wall and that is a spot that is going to be hammered as the tongue goes up and down. Most receivers do this as well. Might be worthwhile to do the same with the aft end of the receiver as the tongue when shortened up will protrude through the back as well?

Ya I was thinking same thing much like a receiver on a hitch

Nice work Tony I like the way you build stuff just out of junk you got kicking about. It keeps things very simple. I do have an idea for you though. On the bolts you bought for the pivot you could set them up and drill them half way down the centre of the hex head down into the shaft then drill another hole just halfway into the side not all the way through just to the middle that you've got hollowed out to then fit grease nipples in the ends of each pivot. That way you can really pack the collars full of grease and that'll last you years and years with the occasional regrease keeping thing moving smoothly without any play.

@bchant1923 күн бұрын
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp yeah it sure would but I'm sure you'll get by even if you need to weld a bit of rod to make a drill bit longer you can do that. Like how you did your expert calculations for getting all your dimensions. You can make anything work by just calling it good. Unless of course the good folks at vevour have a hobby mini lathe they could send you?

You need a metal lathe. You would have found it very useful for this project to machine down the stub axles to fit inside the pipe.

That was a very instructive video on making one of these trailers. I agree with you about using what you have. After all, why do you have all that material if not to use it? It turned out great. Now you can do all the mods for the different things you want it to do.
