DAMMIT JOHN! Where was Jordan's Kayak???

[@jeanetteminer7459]

🙌🙌🙌

[@joemoskowitz7427]

Great job! I believe that the axle is upside down though. It has a bow in it that's supposed to be up, so that when you load it with weight, it springs to be straight. I doubt there'll be enough weight on it to bow them, but you'll probably see tire wear with the axle upside down like that. Great job otherwise!

[@GrimmCaptain]

Dammit John!

[@kentwoods9016]

I saw that too. Definitely should be flipped over 180 degrees.

[@dantedavis9449]

So excited to use his kayak… stands on the pier 😂

You all should’ve run the wires for the lights inside of the tube/frame. It would’ve protected the wire for the lights. And since you mentioned tractor supply they sell all those brackets and everything that you fabricated.

[@szcustomwoodworks6401]

That is a awsome kayak trailer. I think it's a little over built in a heavy duty sort of way, but I guess that means you can hall more beer!!

[@nunyabiznis3595]

haul?

[@kaydog2008]

Great welding video love the trailer. This is what me and my brother built. 2 triangle shape rails standing up with a bar on top connecting the 2 welded on a kit trailer we made 8 support bars 10 inches long welded to the rails 4 on each side covered with foam tube with 8 - 1 inch x 6 foot ratchet straps attach to carry 4 kayaks at an angle with room on the inside to put a floor to carry other stuff we put our pvc pipe rod carriers on the inside of the rails. Than we in close the inside with expanded steel grate with a triangle shape door at the back that open down a locking latch at the top. To keep our stuff safe while we're out fishing.

[@JayRosz]

The fact that you love fishing makes me love your content even more!

Good call I would do the same...

[@paintballbear]

I use to run one of those Lincoln plasma tables if you want a really close to straight edge run the machine with your tip .05 from the surface of the material (I've cut up to 3/4 in. Thick steel at that height) I've cut 1 in. Before but i haven't found the sweet settings for it yet

[@jtcarter6238]

Squirrelly time!

[@nickforlini81]

Love this man, been piling kayaks in pick-ups looking for other solutions for years for when we go to the yough or one of the three rivers. We go atleast once a week and i think this will be perfect!

[@metdukh955]

I'm just in love with the tools you've got❤️🖤🖤

[@MCsCreations]

Pretty fantastic build, guys! Well done! 😃 Stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊

[@thompsonfamilyhuntingadven4036]

Yinz should grab some pool noodles (the hollow ones) and split them then run them over the round bar the Yaks are sitting on. Steel on the plastic will rub and mark the yaks, the pool noodles will act as protectant and shock absorber.

[@25aram12]

Looks very clean!! Awesome work!

I watched your IG live a bit ago! You guys look like you are super excited for tomorrow. It's going to be 3 p.m. my time so I am going to have to make sure that I am somewhere that I cannot be disturbed. I can't wait to see all of the squirrelyness that will be on display tomorrow, LET'S GO!!!

[@kevindavis6042]

Looks great I would add some padding to the support bars so you don't scratch your boats Pipe insulation is perfect for this

[@ChadHooverFishing]

Scratches add character and the river is going to add them anyway. 😜

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Awesome job. Turned out very well. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.

John! We would LOVE to send you some anchors

[@feidhlimoshea8180]

Cool. I love kayaking and welding. Might need to make 1 of these. I'm 13 ps I'm pretty sure your root weld should be mig

[@mmartian1969]

I recommend putting some padding on the end of those rails sticking out the back of the trailer because you will end up whacking your shins on them.

[@KarlKKC]

We made one to for 3 kayaks, love bass fishing in the sea have fun guys and awesome build :)

[@zachharris285]

Tig the root and mig for the fill, you can control your heat, and wire input

[@DirkieB]

Sam got some hops!

[@cswatson4823]

Tip for backing up your trailer. Take your hand and grip the bottom of the steering wheel with your fingers going on top not the bottom of the wheel. Now turn the steering wheel in the direction you want the trailer to go. It works every time.

[@Gerberbaby89]

Nice build I’m looking into getting a couple kayaks for my family and would like to see a diy kayak storage rack

[@TimberRidgerenovation]

Awesome build!

[@WELDEROFMASTER]

Thanks you brother infomation 👍💯

[@johnfocks7536]

great video, love the channel and the content you guys put out!!!!

[@bcoorough]

Nice job, that turned out good. You need to flip the axle. The arch should be going up and slightly forward to give you the correct toe in on the tires. They will wear better

[@chrisellerbe3443]

id like to see some plans for this build. I looked on the website and didnt see any! You guys are awesome!

[@wandahamm103]

[@kchappie6672]

For a trailer mig is plenty strong enough 💪TIG can produce a cleaner weld but I'd call it over kill in the application

[@JeremyMcconnell]

Nice work

It's beautiful... 😲😃

We just not gonna talk about how sexy johns truck is?

[@william132]

You can't not love the colour they painted it

[@JS-zb1vv]

Good video!!!

[@philipthrasher]

My only concern is where the box tube tongue angle pieces connect to the rectangular base frame. That's a lot of pressure on a small amount of weld. Would be a good idea to weld some flat pieces there to add some extra reinforcement. You could cut out a custom shape on the new plasma.

[@mikesgarage5066]

I love how there is zero mention of Jordan joining in on any fishing or getting a kayak lol.

When welding use bubble gum root with jb weld fill then cap it with duct tape. Works 60% of the time everytime.

Watching the video I didn’t see where you mentioned what type of tubing did you use for the bunks. I’ve seen another video content where they used EMT. Can’t find that very cheap around here. Even the thin wall emt is around $40 for a 10’ section. Did you used standard steel(black pipe) on this build for your runners?

[@14768]

With the correct technique and correct settings TIG and MIG are both equally strong. Done incorrectly both of them can be shit as well. There are going to be a lot of 'purists' (ie: welding hipsters) that say TIG is stronger but it's really not. It's cleaner, and sometimes easier, but that's about it. If anyone wants to claim MIG isn't as strong, tell me why the frames for the largest dump trucks in the world are MIG welded. Look it up. If it's good enough for the frame of a 1.3 million pound vehicle, it's good enough for your trailer.

[@rkrzyston]

no wheels for the kayak to roll on?
