Abandoned Horse Trailer Restoration - Start to Finish

This was one heck of an undertaking. I literally didn't think I could do it. I almost gave up multiple times. Made countless mistakes. Yet here we are. May this be a testament to what motivation, hard work, and a good attitude can produce. Thanks to my subscribers for all the encouragement along the way. We did it.
Stay tuned for more epic videos. Love G.

anyone who puts this much time and effort into ANYTHING always gets a clap from me👏👏

[@mystisith3984]

Great video. The more I think about trailer reconversion, the more I like the idea of repurposed horse trailers, big and small. The height, the narrow windows, the whole "steel & nothing else" that gives a clean canvas without too many bad surprises, the good suspension if one decides to drive a lot... Yep, I love this trend.

[@MISHASHOOTS]

That is the coolest thing I ever seen!!! I am picking up an old trailer today to fix it up so we can move out of Portland on a budget. But this!! I am so inspired to rebuild a trailer with all the bells and whistles 🔥🔥🔥 also love the video itself , so fun to watch! Thank you💪🏼🙏🏻🤙🏼

[@andrewwheeler2599]

Did you make it out of Portland?

[@bdmenne]

Bro, this is GORGEOUS! I can see this thing Parked in a Barn converted for celebrations or even in a luxury house. 5 Stars!!!

[@jeremyanddebballon4811]

This is a product of a creative and a skilled smith in one. Amazing work. I don't have these skills, but I love watching these for the satisfaction factor. LOL.

[@lynniemac9684]

Really really enjoyed watching this video! Amazing work you put into it all, loved watching each step and progress. Well done you are so talented. 👏👏👏

[@MacleodCustomsLLC]

this video has been my main inspiration for the past month as i’ve watched it countless times. for the past year i have bought and sold older 2 horse trailers to different companies that convert them into bars. i always found the final product to be special and i’ve been wanting to build my own. i stumbled across your video over a month ago and it completely motivated me to follow through with building a mobile bar. i’ve used your video for reference throughout much of my process. i’ve spent the last five weeks just on prepping for paint. ive had to learn how to bondo and how to cut and grind with an angle grinder. it’s gotten me out of my comfort zone and gave me confidence to bring my vision to life. i just want to say thank you. your video not only inspired me but it shifted my perspective. building this trailer has been rewarding and challenging at the same time. thanks for documenting your build. this is currently my favorite video on youtube lol.

Graeme, I am flipping blown away by your talent! You crushed this! Can't wait to see this beauty in person someday!

[@WoodnessGoodness]

❤️❤️❤️ you butter me up!

[@brettmoritz3698]

Wow! You’re a ninja with that angle grinder! Superb work all around.

[@chriscapaccio3463]

Nice job big G. I've seen all the segments of this build but a total time lapse give a nice perspective on it. Thanks for entertaining us with the content you give us on a regular basis. Now don't go crashing this into any trees now .... lol. 😘

[@robertshrewsbury4241]

This is a beautiful recovery job. It is sad to see an ailing horse trailer and the reversal to useful and safe is very nice.

[@livelikesiberian]

Awesome build! I want to learn how to build as you do. Everything you build, Awesome!

[@naomibosveld9390]

Amazing! You have such talent! 🙂 Loved watching ❤️

I always enjoy seeing things recycled. This is creative and useful. Great idea.

[@KeithElliott]

Great job, that turned out awesome!

[@co2treasuresadventures354]

That's a awsome idea! The extra loft part of the trailer would make a sweet spot for them liquor shelfs!

[@69Gibbert69]

I could have sworn I watched this already. But I'll go another round. Lol

[@user-mb4el7mb7y]

Respect! Well done professional amateur! In a through away society, your efforts have given me hope!

[@BirdieBrietling]

You did a very good job

[@johnnyoutwest]

WOW! Excellent work and fantastic video!

[@billisham451]

Ambitious project. Glad I finished watching, because I thought you just spent who knows how time and labor restoring a straight load horse trailer that sells for $2500 all day long. Cool project. Solid labor.

[@SupercarAlex150]

Before and After video! Thanks!

[@BuffaloWill]

I gave up watching the bar build updates, but I finished this one. WELL DONE YOU!

[@GreenHorn1Acre]

Fabulous footage & montage 👌🏼 You can defiantly see the hard work of a Semi Professional Amateur in this video. I give it a 👍🏼👍🏼 !!! 🤙🏼😁👍🏼

Defiantly?? Definitely* Lol

[@marylott3076]

Awesome Graham! Job well done my KZbin friend.

[@I.thriv365]

Wow! This is absolutely AMAZING!!! 😱 You’re so talented from the trailer to the edit of this video. I was brought here while searching ideas for a mobile dessert trailer. Watching this video just makes me feel even more motivated to conquer my dreams. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@WoodnessGoodness]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@judichristopher4604]

Excellent job... ... In New Mexico that BLACK would be SSSOOOO HOT... I'd painted it a lighter color to keep it COOL, in the Summer Months. Thank you for sharing this great video. Good Luck and God Bless.

[@blkstang83]

That is Sharp!! Great job!!

[@greywolfwalking6359]

An interesting build!! Thanks for sharing 👍!! 👍🧙‍♂️🐺!!!

Pretty epic build!!! I'll drink to that!

I really like your video. I took a bunch of tips for the trailer I am redoing. Your little boy is adorable!!

[@_Merica_USA]

Very good video and workmanship! 👍😁

[@elliottshaw1709]

This was so satisfying. Sensational stuff, brother.

[@MrVenezuelamagic]

Hey Graeme hope you’re hanging in there and excited for your grand return. Could you give us a cost breakdown for this restoration?

[@ChamakCosmeticsChocolates]

This looks incredible! Very edgy, clean and polished. 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@davidk609]

Quite riveting.

[@rakhunproductions]

Such a good edit! I can really see how much effort went into the build and the video.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Thank you! I don’t think KZbin likes this for some reason. Underperforming big time!

[@rakhunproductions]

@@WoodnessGoodness just give it time, and a hack of the algorithm

[@TheOwen1974]

I am doing this in the summer of 2023..I have spotted three 70's vintage trailers in my area. going to make an offer on one or two of them in the spring of 2023. This video pushed me to take on the challenge.. Thanks..

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Let’s go!

[@claramullen]

You are very talented that trailer looks fantastic.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Thank you Clara!

[@DavidShutter]

AMAZING JOB! Very inspirational seeing what you accomplished. My wife and her bests friend are taking about going in on a mobile bar business so I've been looking at trailer builds like yours. I'm handy with tools and DIY around the house but nothing like you, especially with the metal work.

[@WoodnessGoodness]

Honestly I learned a lot as I went. Really fun to have the challenger and come out of it with this thing! I ended up selling it but made a nice little chunk of change!

[@JoeVann]

So cool. Great job.

[@colewilson6633]

Awesome build looks amazing!!!!They also do make a cordless Milwaukee rivet gun I think you would love.

[@rrain3375]

Awsome restoration.

[@wendybobango781]

Love it. Awesome job.

[@dennishill676]

Well Mr. semi professional amateur I’ve worked with metal my whole life and let me tell you you did an impressive job. As for the majority of that was done with only two hands you did an excellent job.

[@barrettstokes3136]

Very cool!! Good job!!

[@georgetorres8834]

Really nice work!!!

[@nazy0078]

You are awesome, a carpenter, a welder, an engineer , electrician ! Not only making a cabin but make teardrop trailer. Have you gone to school for that ? Anyhow I enjoy watching your videos🥰

[@offwhitemke]

Now I want to visit for an epic cookout. Hope you plan something, maybe a big meet up with Wilkerdo’s and other makers. It could be an epic KZbin Makers week.

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

Really Cool. 👍👍

Hahahahahahhahah

[@freeshrugs63]

@@WoodnessGoodness . I hope no offense. Just making a funny based on how close it looked like the baby was to the power tools. Reality is often different, plus, what do I know, there could have been another adult hovering close by for extra safety! Hope you enjoy your trailer.

I can't believe you went through all that effort but left the horrible rust. Covering it up or even spray canning it won't make it disappear.
