Log Arch - Urban Logging Trailer Build Pt 7

[@alexag1997]

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. kzbin.infoUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

"I like welding, I'm going to do it, you do you and I'm going to do me" could not agree more. Love to weld

[@sheilamclaughlin963]

U need more heat inurwelds

[@cliftonsnider1520]

It is truly amazing the tools you have stuffed into that two car garage and the machines you have created in that little back yard. It must make a lot of people question the excuses they’ve used for not doing things in their life. Me included. Thanks for the great build.

[@arrangemonk]

lazyness works for me

[@dennisfahlstrom7422]

I think Matt has been looking for a larger more rural home / shop for a while. I really enjoyed watching April Wilkerson and Jay Bates making the move to bigger shops. I know there is a lot of good rural property available outside of the Twin Cities so I think it’s just a matter of time for Matt & family. Likewise, I think Jesse and Alyssa or Pure Living would be ahead of their home build if they first focused on a big shop build in order to clear out the basement and provide themselves a large covered area for their bigger equipment.

[@JeremiahMuchangi]

Great workmanship.

[@critter3745]

Just binged on all seven in this series. Thanks for sharing.

[@randallwilliams4817]

Matt, I built a trailer 22 years ago. I didn’t listen to anyone. I built it exactly as I needed it, a 18’ gooseneck to haul our speciality equipment to customer installs. Had I known then that it would become essentially my best friend, that it would never fail me, go across country many times maybe have 200,000 miles on it, and to this very day it is ready to call and haul...had I known all this 22 years ago I would have talked more lovingly to it as I built it. I am reminded of Scott Wadsworth’s “tool tank” on Essential Craftsmen. Another self-built old friend. Good for you!!

[@skunkygrogan4247]

I love how you comment on things that you know everyone is thinking - "I know I should have used the mill to drill these holes..."

[@KenMrKLC]

Nailed it!

[@drewt3210]

He's learned to head off the trolls.

[@brianbishop476]

I loved his logic on trying to get the cost per hole down with the mag drill 😂

[@michaelpeavey3264]

Nice job Matt. I'm a tin knocker that does woodworking. You're a woodworker doing metal. Don't be too hard on yourself. Your welds are as good as many "pro's" I know.

[@jefftrag1956]

Glad to see the arch done. I did not want to come to Minnesota and give you hell if you left it off your play list.

[@markspc1]

Great job Matt !

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@stevemcentyre1570]

Small suggestion: If you are going to keep that Bridgeport Mill, Invest in a copy of the Machinerys Handbook. All you ever wanted to know and then some about feeds and speeds et al.

[@mcremona]

I bought one a year ago 😊

[@brianherron5400]

Trailer looks good 👍

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@harrisonkatzz7090]

Love your show

[@cando9609]

Way ta go Matt! Way!

[@enzosubini5960]

Matt MERAVIGLIOSO !!

[@maga_q_anon8384]

Add you a roller to the back of the trailer. It will allow the logs to roll on and not get caught on the back of the trailer. You can put the roller on the arch brackets. Simple to make out of 3" pipe

[@isbcornbinder]

I am a fabricator. I like your work. A local fabrication company has a heavy tube bending machine. While this is not an option for everyone building an arch, it is a time saver and a little expensive for a one piece arch. I am looking forward to seeing the trailer get zinc dipped. When I watch your videos, I see myself 30 years ago.

[@michaelcoleman7940]

Most interesting, detailed video I’ve seen in 10 years.

[@liebherr11602]

Looks great matt!!

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@mimimitchell1989]

Love how you work in the cold with no complaining ,I have a 50' garage where I build my 2000lb army tanks and I cry like a baby when it gets cold , and yes I have a wood stove . Your a true maker keep up the great work.

[@davidpook5778]

6010 is a deep penetration rod, 6011 now as much, fwiw. Nice trailer, well thought out.

[@WayneT51]

Lookin good mate.👍🇦🇺

[@reforzar]

Closer! That Bridgeport has really paid off.

[@mcremona]

Increased my shop time enjoyment at least 5x

[@msanchez1210]

you do such a great job. thanks for sharing

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@carbajalcustoms]

That Trailer is coming out awesome, those logs dont stand a chance haha. watching you stick weld made think its been years since i have done it.

[@oldgrumpy]

Matt, your trailer can lift and carry a sherman tank with ease. You gonna need a 10ton truck to pull that thing. 😅😅😅

[@ericastier1646]

unbelievable

[@kevinwoodcock7578]

Matt..... That Mag drill is SAAAAAAAAWEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[@mcremona]

I agree

[@AndrewAHayes]

I just love the smell of machining steel!

[@kamurray67]

Blue dykem! Any Alec Steele fans?

[@RyanWithAviators]

I find it intriguing that stick welding is your welding type of choice. Not criticism at all, I just think it's interesting. Most fabricators and DIY-ers seem to prefer Mig for its "point-and-shoot" sort of nature, myself included.

[@jeremyarnold1979]

So glad to see you have gotten you a proper mag drill. That would have been super handy when making the huge band mill huh.

[@bigal9078]

Hey Matt, great job. Your welds on this arch look a hell of a lot better than your last one. Keep up the good work.

[@mcremona]

Thank you!!

[@BillB23]

I know zip about metalworking. Every time I came up with a question and got ready to type you'd answer it. Thanks, Matt.

[@knightsstudio7778]

I like to name your new trailer THE BEAST.

[@squaredancetexas]

The boring bit is truly awesome

[@mrpesky163]

You do you, Matt. We wouldn't like it any other way! 👍

[@FranksDIY]

Matt seems you are doing more welding than woodworking lol. Looks great and I have been following the build. I have to say very impressive

[@SandBoxJohn]

The close should have been "Happy Fabricating" instead of "Happy Woodworking".

[@bryanford1139]

Your neighbors gotta be like "He's makin ANOTHER one?!?!?!?"

[@pjseiber2774]

Love it

[@360S0DJefferson]

Love the quality and durability of the trailer you're building. You can't buy a trailer like that to do the job you'll be using that one for.

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

That Hilti is spy movie grade. This is going to be great!

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Lots of work packed into 20 minutes! Excellent video, #MassiveMatt ! You can make slots without the drilling as you discovered. You can make slots on a manual knee mill by plunge cutting. On a knee mill that means raising the table and moving the end mill along either the X or Y axis. IF you can turn two handles at one time - you lock the quill, slowly raise the table as you move your end mill back and forth along the length of your slot (leave yourself some clean-up cuts for the end, like chiseling a slot). I always preferred spray Dykem, btw. It lays down better, imo...smoother even appearance...less splotchy. Great work on the horizontal mag-drilling, too. Thank you for the video!

[@russellrattys6581]

Hi from the UK, over here we have what we call skip lorries, which pick up the massive open topped trash cans that builders use, they have a similar frame that work on hydraulics love the mag drill, im not sure if we have anything like that over here, i can think of many times id use one of those great work on the milling machine too

[@1coolkev]

Thank you Matt If really enjoyed following this build. I like how you explain everything and i like your filming and editing. It makes it enjoyable to watch (not a lot of wasted time watching unrelated stuff)

[@latherookie]

I truley can't wait to borrow this piece of art!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great video Matt, you have no boundaries for your getting things accomplished !!👍👍. You do a great job and ensure the build is structurally safe. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred.

[@brianjoyce9742]

Matt I think you may have the best toys, I mean tools!

[@krekautofunilaria9730]

Chique no urtimo.....bom trabalho

[@joshuadunn882]

Nice job Matt. You always take your time and build stuff properly. You might tend to over engineer stuff a bit but I've never thought of that as a bad thing, it just take a little more time than you could probably get away with. Better that way than under engineered 😉 Great job again Matt.

[@nordyfamily]

Great work! Thanks for taking the time to make, film, edit and share.

[@YouT-DJ]

Start to feel like the shipbuilding channel!

[@bonsaitree1350]

Thank you sir! That thing is heavy duty. Keep up the good work!

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@josephattard9250]

Great job Matt. never miss an video

[@phbrinsden]

It’s looking awesome Matt.

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@SciPunk215]

Nice

[@Rejectsocialism]

Hey Matt. I build mine from a landscape trailer. It serves multiple purposes. I can use it to move my tractor, cars and logs. I used a lot of the ideas I got from your first build. Thanks

[@tjacksonwoodworker3726]

I am enjoying your trailer build. Great work..

[@DemasShopforEverything]

Sweet trailer. If i watch all of these i don't think i will have any questions lol.

[@danaskubic2145]

Another well done video and great job as usual. Thanks for sharing.

[@USMC-1911]

Nice work looking good, your going to need a bigger truck.

[@genegoodman5233]

I’m a machinist and over 50 years this was the first time I’ve saw holes drilled instead of milling. You do things the way you want but the mill is made to do the cutting. The mill would make the cut in one pass, just take your time and use cutting oil. Be sure to undercut and not climb mill when machining on the edge of a piece. A lot of end mills are broken when climb milling or getting in a hurry. The first 4 pieces you welded had slots cut in them, why. The more you do the better you’ll get. The entire trailer, to me is well built. I love over building things so it don’t break. Stay safe

[@dennishayes65]

I’m waiting for the paint job ! Powder Coat I hope ! Great job Matt ! Wish I could make a trailer like that!

[@spaight711]

Try compressed air to keep your cutting tools cool. It's really pretty amazing how much of a difference a small breeze can make and it really helps with chip clearance, so you can see what you're doing.

[@johncambra9332]

Matt I am an engineer of a different stripe ie electrical so i am not going to comment on your welding but I am impressed with all of the skills you do have. So far it looks like a job well done.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

awesome job Matt looking great

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@bobferranti5222]

You have awesome metal working skills considering you're a woodsmith

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@daniellee8812]

Trailer looks great. I had the same problem when I would mig weld I would have a problem seeing what I was doing so I switch to a standard helmet instead of a auto darkening it made all the difference in the world

[@billhackley3540]

looks amazing, very impressed with your skills across the board. wow!

[@granitestatewoods2601]

Hi Matt. I can't wait to see that trailer in action. Nice work. Todd in NH.

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@hascet]

This trailer series got me to subscribe, awesome work!

[@rhihodag9873]

Great Job, Matt! Lookin' good!

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@ApexWoodworks]

Another great video describing a great job, Matt! Keep 'em a comin'!!

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Outstanding once again...

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey man Kevin here from Australia. A really enjoyable video. Thankyou for sharing. Regardless of what other viewers say (the keyboard know alls) I rekin your trailer build is one you can be really proud of yes that includes the welding . I look forward to the rest of the build . ✌ Peace man

[@mcremona]

Thanks Kevin!

[@monoshock57]

Flux Core you need to pull. Make sure the clamp is positive and the wire is negative on the welder.

[@AnnaHerrick]

I love watching you work and I am a lady! You are fascinating!

[@mcremona]

Thank you!

[@Thundermuffin93]

Amazing to see this one whipped together so fast! (Or so it seems). Most excited to see what sort of trouble you get into picking things up with this monster arch. Haha.

[@timfiggins7764]

You are so Cleaver.

[@JENNISWISS]

BIG RESPECT🤗 great job

[@antoniososa8166]

U r very smart ..i wish i can have tools like u ..cause i been want to build oone of this trailers bymyself ..and i only habe small welder 160 amp

[@profzen1]

Woodworker builds worlds most expensive metal trailer ☺️

[@504carl]

Take your time, Practice makes Perfect.

[@tracksidebc5854]

Matt, do you live on a residential street? If so, how do you neighbors react to all your activity which appears to be in the driveway at the front of the house? Really enjoy your vids. Such talent and what a fantastic personal workshop.

[@dirtdart81]

Its in the backyard, and in previous videos hes said his neighbors don't mind, and have even helped him out a few times :D

[@advancednutritioninc908]

Matt as always!! Great - Well Thought Out Design and Workmanship!! Liked !! Subbed !!

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@rick91443]

So much fun watching; great stuff. cheers..rr Normandy, Fra.

[@Mack.of.all.trades]

Make sure to weld your name in multiple places on that thing!

[@bcreationz8618]

Mig push vs pull has no structural difference so like you said you do you :) For those who think otherwise.. git gud!! Certified mig and tig welder so ya... either way works.

[@CapnCrusty]

End mills getting dull quickly? You need a coolant mister. A cheapo mister is better than any hand held bottle and your cutters will last much longer. I've found that the misters with the plastic goosenecks are frustrating but a $50 Amazon mister with a metal gooseneck and an independent coolant control valve is a joy to use. You can reduce your air flow so that your compressor doesn't run all the time and cut back the coolant flow so that you're not maintaining a sloppy mess in your table yet your cutters stay cool to the touch and sharp.

[@Ray_Sellner]

A Mini mag will hold pieces he doesn't want to drop. I used them all the time running ED wire.

[@Frostfly]

Just a hand held spray bottle with coolent would be better then what he's doing.

[@guysthisisntreal.1057]

Just break down and buy a Noga. You can't beat em for the price. *Not* a paid shill.

[@TheMetalButcher]

Hardly. His carbide endmill isn't getting hot at those speeds. His endmill is likely getting dull because the corners are breaking down from the tiny depth of cut and relatively aggressive feed for such a slow speed.

[@Ray_Sellner]

@@TheMetalButcher End mills get dull quicker when they have to cut through chips. Like they do when you paint cutting oil on them. A mister would wash the chips away.

[@davidbroad4834]

Good job!

[@zbudda]

Be interesting to see when he takes the new empty trailer and pick up truck to the weigh scales to see what the total weight is for his GVW and how much is left for cargo weight?

[@HeltonLogging]

Awesome, i really want to build one to fit my hudson trailer

[@brianfaini]

You mill shakes a lot!

[@mcremona]

It’s still on the pipes I used to move it into the shop

[@eddygoodwin7089]

That’s a compliment by the way

[@greensnapper1602]

Matthew Sir, Cost Per Hole Down lol To Funny !! Love your Fine Jokes you Tell ... Love the Trailer WISH You Could Make Another So I could Purchase !! & as always Sir Thank You for your Time !!

[@bwillan]

You'll crush your trailer to a pancake before you hit the weight rating of those shackle mounts and shackles you've made. LOL

[@sunny71169]

Looks like you could use a power feed on that mill.

[@mcremona]

Haven’t gotten around to fixing them

[@bigmikex2333]

Yup crusty old man time. The mig gun has a nozzle.......I HATE welding slang terms. "I need a whip" A tig whip, a plasma whip, a mig whip or a stick whip? or a tig torch, a plasma torch, a mig gun or a electrode holder and cable. Yup, crusty old man.....I HATE welding slang. Rant over, blood pressure returning to normal :) Great trailer build Matt, you should be very proud!
