I RESTORED An Old Dump Trailer From SCRATCH In 7 Days!

[@davebauerart]

Quite a transformation. Every little detail.

[@PTRRanger951]

That looks amazing. Never would have thought it was the same trailer. Once thing I would have done differently on the barn door latches…. I would have put a captured spring on the handle and then a small piece of L metal on the top of the door. The door keeps the handle wanting to go up, so when you shut it and lock it, you press down to go under the Metal and then when you let go it springs up to be trapped in the L metal. No chains needed. When it’s time to open. You grab the handle, pull down and rotate it out and then up and door opens. Hard to explain in text. You can see what I mean by the spring latch by searching for that. As for the L metal top, it would just have a fixed piece of metal on the gate the latch would rotate under and out of. When the spring latch is not pressed down, it would be pressing against the metal keeping it fixed in the closed position. Only way to open would be to push down on the latch 2-3 inches and rotate it out like normal.

Nice job! That went from sad to awesome!

Super video I don’t care how fast… but that detail is awesome thanks 🙏

As Always, CHRIS! FANTASTIC JOB! Better than new! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍👍

[@MakeEverything]

Thank you very much!

[@ericbean2719]

As a healthcare professional, good on you for protecting your lungs with your respirators! You’ll thank yourself in the future.

Yes he has reminded us now three times so far

[@Nb19873]

As an adult film actor, I appreciate the colour you chose as it’s always bigger and better.

[@colinstu]

Hate how it's seen "manly" to ruin one's body prematurely and live out their lives shortened or in pain etc. Some basic steps can really do one a lot of good. Let the man cook.

[@jrmintz1]

Nice job!

[@serious2204]

Sharp Trailer , really liked the addition of upper boards , and Tailgate doors.

[@tylerkozinski6128]

Check your leaf spring shackles the one side fliped

[@billyhaddock5540]

ME, great job setting-up ur newest Dump Trailer.. looks cool..

[@wdy2606]

Good on you for pointing out PPE.

[@masonholl3384]

u are insanely talented wow

[@michelboisvert5684]

hi, video very well done and especially at fast speed, bravo

[@billzima7068]

Awesome job. That little dumper is like brand new and should give you many years of use.

[@kevbev1524]

Good video dude 😎👍🏻

[@jabbasan12]

Great content! ❤

I stumbled on your channel today and you've earned a new subscriber. Great work great video

[@billkamps9360]

Great video. Thank you for sharing.

[@RayCardona-u9l]

Don't ever not use your respirator. Better to always be on the safe side than get overcome with cancer. My brother-in-law, which was one of the best welders in Texas, died of cancer due to breathing the toxic smoke. I am a retired fire fighter and with all our PPE, it still happens. Merry Christman to you and your family.

Love seeing young people eager to learn can’t wasn’t for part 3

[@jacobalderman105]

That’s awesome!

[@Livie84]

29:55 a wee tip I know of is when the piece is clamped to weld, leave it clamp till cooled down and stops it from warping

[@DEATER155]

You should get a set of bearing buddies for the hubs they are sweet

[@motor2of7]

The hubs have integrated grease fittings

[@mwilliamshs]

Those appear to be EZ-Lube axles. They don't need bearing buddies as they already have grease fittings built-in.

Protecting your lungs is paramount!!!!! I have emphysema, trust me, if I would have known the long term issue of breathing fine dust and such, I would have worn breathing equipment!!! I was a shop teacher for 42 years.

[@alexholder1166]

Good looking work. What kind of benchtop bandsaw is that you have around 11:15?

[@MakeEverything]

@@alexholder1166 that’s the wen benchtop. Check my other video 50 cheap tools I actually use I talk about it and why I like it

[@theprojectworkshop8116]

Sit the cans of paint in some boiling hot water for 5 minutes they will mix 100 times better.

[@BigJ771]

Do you have a video on your paint can shaker? In high school football season I have to shake 45 cans every 2 weeks to paint 3 football fields. 3:19

[@MakeEverything]

@@BigJ771 yeah my other new video 50 cheap tools I actually use has more info about it and a link to it. It’s great!!

[@GibClark]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@jakemartin6200]

Out of curiosity whats the weight rating on those axles?

[@MakeEverything]

@@jakemartin6200 they are 5k axles and the total gvwr is 10k for the trailer. The dump mechanism is rated for 7k inside. Given its small size it would be hard to fit 7k of anything in it! Most dumps I’ve done with it are 2000-3000lbs max

[@jakemartin6200]

Yeah it looks super beefy, great work and video brother! That’ll be nice that you can use it to haul your skid steer as well.

[@montwolfman]

For me Rustoleum is my last choice because of nozzles clogging up. I have had to trash a lot of full cans.

[@MakeEverything]

@@montwolfman I’ve never had as much bad luck as I did with these cans of paint!!

[@Mattie_LIGHT]

Hey what’s that little power dolly thing you have?

[@ralphnewcomejr]

The only "LONG" part of doing that was cleaning up the metal. Thats what ALWAYS takes the time. I always use oil based Rust-Oleum & brush it on it always turns out killer & ya dont get runs & bullshit with a brush...

[@burlymugg]

you forgot the AirTag mount under the frame

[@MakeEverything]

Or did I….

[@burlymugg]

@@MakeEverything EYYYYYOOO. you mentioned worrying about theft so made too much sense ha, good work

[@BarnyardEngineering]

Man that thing was in nice shape to begin with. You should see mine, LOL...

[@fasousa4798]

Unfortunately once the wood boards start moving and sagging it’s going to be really difficult to align the closing pin for the upper doors a metal stand would be better to hold the doors hinges

[@dope4500]

Put the cans in warm/hot water before painting next time.

[@peterwarner8541]

Nice work. Did you clean up that earth strap fixing?

[@douglasthompson2740]

I like Rusty Metal Primer from Rustoleum as well but they really need to do something about their quality control or lack thereof. I like to keep four or five cans on hand for jobs as they come up and the failure to hold a charge on new cans runs about thirty per cent! Then there is the clogging issue on partially used cans. Added to that the disappearance of propellant half way through using a can, or when a partially used can is put back on the shelf. And yes, I shake the cans quite well and give them a clearance spray before I shelve them. It gets very frustrating and slows the work flow a lot. Just unacceptable. For a while they changed top caps and that seemed to help for a brief second. It would seem as long as they have been in business they could get the packaging and delivery of their product down, but they don't seem to have a clue. In total I am throwing away forty to fifty percent of their product!! This isn't a recent phenomenon either, more like a couple of decades old! Time their executives actually got out in the field and talked to their customers even if it means getting a little dust on their pretty suits.

[@barthanes1]

Drill a hole in the bottom of the hinge cup, and water definitely won't be an issue.

[@kerryheimer1874]

[@mwilliamshs]

Sandblaster details???

[@bobjones9727]

I believe we now fully understand the principle reason for wearing a respirator and "protecting our lungs".......

[@WyoWellTester]

Nice used just about every tool there is too

[@TheSiraffe]

So I make similar trailers for a different company and while you might be able to carry more, the trailer won’t be rated for more. Just fyi We get to fix alot of trailers because people overload the piss out of them and try to pick the deck up with that ram

[@andrewlondon3461]

You should linex the bed

[@MakeEverything]

I think I’m gonna do that in the spring. Honestly it was a little cold to be painting this whole thing so I expect some touch ups and a recoat once the temps hit 60-70 again. Thanks for watching!

[@mwilliamshs]

Bad idea for dumping. You want less friction not more

[@jeremyspecce]

Why? It’s basically a dumpster

[@colinstu]

thought that as well.

[@martywright4403]

Guy talks to much for me to follow his channel but looks good

[@dmytromural]

But isn't it better to have bracing ekement under tension rather then compression as you did?

[@jeremyspecce]

Even spellcheck gave up on this one.

[@kentgilbreth8520]

Can't you make a video without you running your mouth the hole time.

[@MakeEverything]

Can you write a comment thats supportive of the educational content I spend days of my life to create?

“Hole”

[@colinstu]

@@MakeEverything I'm sad you have to experience this terrible commentary. I'm thankful for your content!

[@Sryously]

Hey, I don't know if they're too short for this now but how about bending the barn door latch pins into a square J shape so they can hook onto the extension walls when fully open.
