Registration & Wrap Up - Urban Logging Trailer Build Pt 11

[@johnviewer2305]

I said this before...no one could look going down the road and know this came from a back yard build...great job MATT...

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Well said and a good point. That thing looks more professional than many "professional" trailers do !

[@brandoncaldwell95]

@@JohnSmith-ud9ex it honestly puts my trailers to shame. They were professional built. Sure ny gooseneck will be the same in a year or 2.

Building your own projects has so much satisfaction as you go, as well as the complete results when you are completed. And like you say, it's done RIGHT instead of trusting some other manufacturer. Good job!

[@markfryer9880]

Matt, well done! You have now got yourself a really great trailer for your business and it will help you immensely. Maximum labour and more importantly back saving features. Maximum safety features to get your job done smoothly and quickly without any hassles. People in the know can tell when someone is doing things the right and professional way. It is also remarkably easy to spot dodgy operators and they are the ones that either have accidents or get pulled over and booked. You have every right to be really pleased with your new self built trailer. Just keep it well locked up and even weld your initials and license number on the drawbar. I have welded the school's initials on numerous trailers after several went missing. It may also pay to fit some of those tracking devices to both the truck and trailer. Get a comparison valuation from a couple of trailer makers for insurance valuation purposes.

[@richardlong191]

Well done! Even the first dent, so you don’t have to worry about that when you start using it!

[@mcremona]

Exactly 😄

[@strat0caster63]

Matt, you’re like me I never had. Was. Am. The fact that you fell trees yourself; haul them on a trailer you designed and built yourself; slab them up on a bandsaw mill you designed and built yourself; dry them in your own back yard; then build fine quality hand-crafted furniture you design yourself out of the wood you harvested and milled, in your own shop, is nothing short of the me I utterly wish I was. Thanks for doing what you do; sharing all you share; and being, vicariously, the me I aim to, but likely never will be.

[@seriouslyreally5413]

Don't be surprised at yourself Matthew, just look at YOURSELF... Your reflections about how surprised and proud you were at your ability to build this beautiful custom trailer has to go back again to the custom bandsaw mill and your beautiful pieces of furniture. The secretary, the highboy were both very ambitious highly advanced first time woodworking projects for a beginner. Yet you knew that if you thought each skill through; each meticulous step planned and practiced, the attention to detail, it would add up to the hoped for finished family heirloom. And it was! The bandsaw mill was just another extension of that philosophy so why not the trailer build? Its who you are and how you approach something you've not done before. Planning and details. Congratulations for another project well done! And stop being surprised, we aren't 😉

[@andrzej3511]

Four things are important: you did it with your own hands and mind, the equipment perfekt work, you saved a lot of money, most importantly: you have satisfaction that no one can take away from you! I sincerely admire.

[@brianmurray1734]

Well done Matt. You’re justifiably proud of an exceptionally beautiful trailer

[@bryanford1139]

I've only ever bought 1 trailer in my lifetime...it was junk, sold it a year later. Of the other 4 trailers I've built, 3 of them are still with me(sold the first one years ago) 10 years later. Two of those are all aluminum ramp-door snowmobile trailers with compound angle/radii roofs(for strength and wind efficiency). Everyone told me it would take too long(pansies), or not work. These trailers are the best handling and most wind stable units I've ever towed...and all the nay-sayers actually agreed with me in the end. The best product you ever buy will be your own satisfaction from doing the job no one believed could be done...by yourself! Why?... NO COMPROMISES Good job Matt. I love it when a plan comes together!

[@mcremona]

Thank you!

[@1014TOMCAT]

Matthew, you do great work on all your projects.

[@mcremona]

[@alexvonbosse5090]

Nice job all the way around! People that never built anything themselves, don't know the satisfaction that you get when you see your project completed! Thanks for sharing and keep up your great videos!

[@mcremona]

Thank you!

[@JohnDiMartino]

Beautiful trailer! No one builds them this nice, the wiring jobs are scabby at best,scotch locks everywhere,and lousy welds,and thin materials. You built it right! Love the junction boxes,and how you wired the brakes separately on eyelet loops. I rebuilt my 99 trailer before I sold it and I did the same thing as you on the breakaway! Wired the black and blue backwards . Being you have a lot more tow vehicle ,I’m betting you can carry a 10k log easily 8600 on the axles,and 1400 on the hitch . In wouldnt do that with a single wheel truck but yours is a beast. Congratulations!

[@davidkay1386]

Happy for you. Cool looking trailer. Also Brooklyn Center looks good from the air.

[@mcremona]

Certainly gives some perspective 😄 thanks!

[@Bob-qu5ux]

Congratulations on a job very well done. As you are already learning, there is so much more to life than just going for the lowest price or having someone else build things for you. The pride and learning that goes into a project like this is really special and life altering. Watching this series is the closest to binging You-Tube I've every done. If I had any room for metal working tools in my garage, I'd be starting a small trailer project pronto.

[@gsettlemyre]

Found your channel while searching for trailer builds just this week, I went back to the beginning of your build and watched every one of the videos, these past two or three days, knowing the trailer was finished made getting to the last video that much more enjoyable. Excellent build on the trailer, really appreciate the extra time and energy you spent engineering all the extras into the build, such as the electrical junction blocks, how the light pods attach with bolts and not just welded in place, that alone will make it easier to replace a pod or lights/wiring in the future, and the attention to detail on the front jack and rear jack stabilizer is way above most trailer builders. At first I wondered why you went through the trouble of welding a backing plate to the jacks which added extra weight, now seeing how easily it is to remove a jack stabilizer the build up really comes in to focus. Great job on the video editing also, time well spent portraying your build. You should be very proud of the build, it’s what you wanted, it’s what you needed and it’s what you got using your own two hands and mind. Looking forward to future videos, will most likely go back and watch your previous one also, Looks like you gained another subscriber. Way to go.

Thank you!

[@robb1267]

Congrats on the successful project! We were right there alongside you!

[@theamaturepro]

I can't believe the registration cost!! That's ridiculous! My trailer was less about 80 new and the renewal every year has been around 12. I tore up the license plate so bad this year I got a new one and it was 35. Your fees were on par with an entirely new car! In other news, thanks for taking the time to record and post this build. I learned a lot and you gained another follower. I like your way of doing things and appreciate your skills and humor. One of the biggest things that sticks out to me on your build over having someone build it for you is the wiring job. Had you had it built, you'd have the typical cheap job of wire strung here and there with all the crappy splice connectors for the brakes. I look forward to looking through your other videos and what you do in the future. Thanks Matt.

[@becksilverback9133]

In the future keep in mind the danger of cable failure and getting injured or killed cause I was watching you and the rest of the guys when the log was getting loaded. Love your videos

Damn right you should be proud of that build. You knew what you wanted in a trailer having spent hours with your previous one. The upgrades and entire build were well thought out and the fact that it pulled wonderfully under a heavy load confirms your build specs. Not to mention your care and skill. Well Done!

Well done Mr Cremona, and thanks for spending all the time you that have documenting every aspect of this spectacular build, it has been a pleasure to follow the long(!) process, and I have learned a huge amount from you. Not only have you made a superb Urban Logging trailer, but you have spent endless hours shooting footage, and many hours editing and constructing a long series of comprehensive instructional videos. That on it's own is a huge and very successful feat. Many, many thanks :)

absolutely awesome trailer! no matter what it cost the self-satisfaction of having built it yourself is priceless.

[@thomasarussellsr]

That is one beautifully built trailer. Great job, Matt. As a former 18 Wheeler trucker, I completely understand the axle location. Also, getting you CDL isn't that hard, you just need access to a rig that tops/fits the type of CDL you want to get. So that you can test in a liscense specific vehicle class. Check your local, states' and federal requirements if you plan to drive a commercial load out of state. Yup, looks like it was towing straight from the drone footage. Also, the christening dent showed well on the drone decent when you got back home with the trailer. Plus, the money spent on that trailer is cheaper than it would cost to buy a similar class production built trailer in my area. So good job there as well.

[@eddiestipe2009]

You did a great job on the trailer. A job well done. Thanks for taking us a long during the build. Matt take care and be safe.
