Nice job Matt, you are a jack of all trade's, have a nice day and you and your family Stay Safe . Brian UK !!!.

[@mcremona]

Thanks Brian!

[@user-sn5vy3gh4q]

I am a Korean viewer. Thanks for the video. I hope you and your family are healthy.

[@ratheskin58]

You have no idea what a relief it is to see the paint going on at last - and it's not even my trailer!

[@KeithDiSarno]

I was afraid we were going to have a flipping birthday for an unfinished trailer.

[@sffabrications3872]

Matt. Spray the bottom of the trailer with a mixture of half baby oil. Half WD40. This will give you winter protection that doesn’t wash off without hot water.

[@gizanked]

The paint looks so much better than what a galvanized finish would have been. I hope it holds up well to sliding logs, but I guess it's easy enough to repaint a scratched spot. If you go over this in the video I'm sorry for commenting after only watching 1/3 of the video.

[@mcremona]

I would have been very tempted to paint over it anyways

[@gizanked]

I do like the multi colored layers too, it's like milk painting a trailer.

[@mikeboone4425]

I will say your a clever guy, and with that top coat you will never loose your trailer in the woods . Happy trails

[@mcremona]

thanks Mike!

[@royashmore5874]

Matt, here in the UK we have a saying Jack of all, King of none. You are Jack of all, King of ALL! And your work ethic is second to none. Always look forward to viewing your output. Thank you.

[@gregmislick1117]

Your attention to the small details of the wiring are what will give this trailer a lifetime of faultless service to you. Nice work Matt!

[@mcremona]

Thanks Greg!

master woodworker and a pro trailer builder and a good painter. can't forget a great dad.

[@quixoticjedi942]

It amazes me the giant things you build in such a tiny space.

[@PryorSebastian]

Wtf, his place isn’t tiny at all, it’s huge by nz standards

[@quixoticjedi942]

@@PryorSebastian My yard is 3 times the size of his, and my basement is 4 times the size of his and I live in a major metropolitan area. I guess size is relative.

[@norrisabram9577]

Awesome job, thank you for being able to talk and work at the same time, great Job 👍

[@Frostfly]

I'm glad to see you wearing a respirator...even if it's not the right one for the task.

[@mcremona]

It's all I have right now. I donated my spare which has the charcoal filters

[@Frostfly]

@@mcremona I get that. I have the same one you have now, like it a ton. I got rid of my charcoal filter one years ago. it's not something you need often in woodworking.

[@bret_Lambky]

Your trailer is awesome! You did a great job! That trailer is very heavy duty! 👍👍

[@mcremona]

thanks Bret!

[@danaskubic2145]

You make this old man tired just watching this. Amazing project Matt, great job as usual, thanks for sharing.

thanks!

Sometimes, I just enjoy someone else working as hard as I do! That trailer turned out amazing, Matt!

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

Love the color.

[@vmitchinson]

Excellent build. Very good colour choice. Exactly the same colour as the Edmonton Oilers hockey jerseys. My home team!

[@crazyrat51]

Well done!!!

[@mrpaint055]

Grace is really taking shape. Great job,

[@ku3kyc]

15:35 Hold the baby AND fly the drone! Who is more talented in this shot?

[@refiii9499]

With my personal experience of using POR as a bottom coat only you will want to put a protective coat over it. It chips and scratches very easily leaving unprotected metal. While it’s clean you should give a good heavy duty undercarriage protection. You will thank yourself for doing it now. Trailer looks awesome she came out great.

[@mcremona]

I've had a difference experience with it. I've had to grind through it to do some welding. That experience alone is why I continue to use it. It was so well bonded to that steel.

[@jonassjostrom9787]

Great job as always Matt! So fun to watch. Thanks!

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@kennethfreeman8042]

I think you are doing an excellent job on your trailer. You would not have gotten one built that good from the best trailer manufacturer in the country. That goes for the sawmill also and the size is fantastic.

[@sierraevanlukethomas]

Your range of skills & dexterity in applying them is amazing. Nice job so far. Best regards,

[@mcremona]

thank you!

[@dmmaddex]

Fantastic fabrication and finish work.

[@greensnapper1602]

This Trailer Has Been a lot of work Matt.. From the Build to the Paint .. Then Take back apart then Paint Then Put it All back Together Wow .. Sucks you didn't have a Spot to do throughout the winter inside That would of been ideal for ya.. BUT Your GETTING HER DONE !! Big Thumb's UP To Ya Sir !! 100 % Real Talk.. Thank You for Sharing ...

[@TylerBoespflug]

Rarely do you see trailers with this much attention to detail in the wiring, home made or from a manufacture. Having been there fixing countless trailer wiring issues and vehicle plugs, I can tell you that you will have a day where you tell yourself, "I'm so glad I had the foresight to do this the right way." The trailer is looking great Matt!

[@Z-Bart]

Heavy Duty Man! Looks awesome. 👍

[@holdemNE1]

You cut down trees, you make them into lumber, you do woodworking, you weld, you paint, you build a saw mill.........you are a real man's-man. If I ever see you I'm going to buy you a beer.

[@joehovanec1985]

This country needs more young men like you. It is a delight watching your videos.

[@Bergalicious38]

The wiring! ♥♥♥ There's not a video on KZbin for seven-flats wiring, brake wiring, and light wiring that is worth a hoot for complete noobs with a dual axle. I'm hoping this will help. I bought a trailer back when you refurbished your old one. The wiring is a tad janky. I love your builds. That red pops! If anyone hits that, they're blind!

[@larrybe2900]

Anyone hits that trailer they will have known they hit something.

Hi, A really nice job/trailer. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Just watch the news. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷

[@williamellis8993]

Looking good, Matt. You're so much more ambitious than I am now or ever was (71 now). Even if I had built something like this I would have painted in sections and taken forever. Stay safe. Bill

[@mcremona]

Thanks Bill!

[@fargley001]

I'm loving that new trailer

[@cruzmissile25]

Man, a good paint job makes everything look like a million dollars

[@kevinmruel5528]

You are exactly detail oriented and build it heavier than you need just like I am Awesome job Man!!!

[@rogerwilkoson]

It's big and beautiful! I enjoyed watching the build.

[@tophand1918]

Pretty much the best and most properly done trailer build series I've ever seen and on all of you tube!!!!

hahahahaha

[@refiii9499]

Quality wiring and grommets! This trailer will last a lifetime. Very nice finishing touches. Love seeing momma and the baby controlling he drone. We have other multitalented people in the family I see haha.

[@eddiecabrera1408]

Beautiful job on the paint Matt keep exploring stay work in and keep the videos coming thank you God bless you and your family

[@idadho]

I used conduit for exposed runs of wire on my trailer. No exposed strands of wire to snag on something. Just short exposed sections where the wire turns or penetrates a beam.

[@ronaldschmidt5140]

We enjoy your wine parties on Fridays. You guys are well matched! You seem to finish each other's sentience but with a laugh at the end.

[@mikes1345]

Now I would be sitting back trying to remember if I forgot to do something before I reassemble and put it on the ground. Of course I would remember 3 days later! Nice build.

[@freeform33]

I agree that preparation is the secret to a durable paint finish nice job 👍🏻

[@CookieMonster_1969]

I don't know if it was my prep or not, but when I built a Jeep for rock crawling, the POR15 was a huge waste of time and money, it stuck to me better than it did the Jeep. I actually got great results from Rustoleum in the end. Plus I could just carry a few cans with me and instantly seal any scratches I put in the Jeep on the trail.

[@MJ-nb1qn]

Great Job Matt!

[@evankibbe590]

I always run ground wires and never ground to the frame because grounding to the frame always losses contact over time. And never ground through the hitch . If you see trailer's with the lights flickering going down the road it is most likely there trying to ground through the hitch. I use two wire drop cords for marker lights because the outer coating helps keep the wires from chaffing. And it is easy to run . 😊 hope that information might help.

[@clydeperrine2959]

Yeah, I can imagine a lot of us who have "wiring" experience were thinking the same while viewing that part of the video. It is very enjoyable watching this trailer being built and the care he takes with its construction. I especially like that he built this from experience with his other trailer. He checked all the boxes in his wish list. Well Done!

[@AndrewBrowner]

run a couple grounding wires incase corrosion gets one or two.. theres no need to waste a bunch of money running ground wires to every light.. adding that many wires/connections isnt going to make it any more reliable youll just have a mess of wires with twice as many spots for the connection to be broken... the frame does a great job of acting as a ground for everything thats why every single automobile uses it as such.. if youre that worried about reliability im sure you can weld a stainless stell stud to the frame and use a stainless nut and eyelet on the connection followed up with a glob of grease and weather cover to make it last forever but really a 1/4 20 bolt threaded into the frame is fine

[@cabinman]

POR-15 glad to hear you are using it! It's an amazing coat. I have used it before and it's tough. Great job!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

I would love to be your neighbor! I would have a lawn chair permanently angled toward your backyard with a cooler and grill next to me and I would just sit back and be fascinated by your work. Exceptionally done!!!! 👏👏👏

Awww I got all sad! I thought you were gonna do an old school brush job the whole way! hahaha. I painted my gooseneck with a brush, old school Watsonville farmer paint job. Just ranch stuff, nothing fancy.

I got to say wow on the way you put the trailer so you can spin it around that is really neat

[@jonathancook4022]

It looks like it is going to be very durable. Great job on the electrics!

[@josephattard9250]

I really enjoyed watching this video, it's close to completion now

[@MRrwmac]

Matt, You did a better job than those stooges would have done even if they were dipping. Plus you got some enjoyment out of doing it yourself, with the ladies of the house supervising on the sidelines!! Looks great just the way it is. Kids think it’s a big red board to chalk on, or when flat a cool flat play area ohhhh yeaaaaa!!!

[@Melicoy]

Nice. Love to see it in ACTION !!!!

She’s coming along nicely, man 👍🏼😈👍🏼

Great red paint for not misplacing thing but useless as camouflage haha ! That will be a perfect trailer for you! :D

You the Man Matt.

[@pwengert1]

Your trailer is looking really nice now with your painting job!

[@nyleluke]

WOW very impressive, having built several trailers and wired many more, great attention to detail. Love the rotisserie, id prob add a receiver hitch in the back for the rotisserie, i also weld black pipe underneath to run the wires,

[@donshaughnessy3281]

This has been a fantastic built. Very inspiring. If you stop using the trailer on the road, it will make a good fall out shelter door.

[@thomaswebb4254]

I use the same under-body primer paint, PAR-15, for my outdoor wood furniture. It works great. Put two coats of the PAR-15 on and then two coats of a good outdoor latex paint on chairs I built and the finish has lasted 10+ years.

[@kurtc6372]

Damn great tear down.You’re good. Shit, you don’t mess around. You are definitely thorough.

[@kurtc6372]

I hate painting. Getting ready to paint some trim I need to replace.

[@troyledbetter6597]

Matthew this has been such an enjoyable build to watch! The quality and attention to detail is fantastic. I’m curious to see how much this tank of a trailer weighs empty! Thanks phor making and sharing the video.

[@mcremona]

All will be revealed in part 11 but it's pretty much where I said it would be in part 1. thanks!

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice update Matt! The trailer is looking good :) Thank you for sharing with us!💖👍👌😎JP

Good on you Matt...👍👍

[@paulstanding7267]

Hi Matthew congratulations it is now starting to look like a trailer.on one thing I would have painted the wheel arches inside black make the wheels look great you all take care roll on the next trailer vlog 😀😀👍

[@JimG31547]

Trailer really looks good.

[@staxter6]

Don't know how you managed to make a menial paint job so exciting without a hint of sarcasm, pure genius!! ;-)

[@Javier..Escobar]

Thanks for your video

[@Breennan]

If you ever need to re-paint the bed you should think about getting it Line-Xed. It's ultra durable truckbed liner that will stay looking new and stand up to anything you throw at it for like 20 years. You could do the bed and inside of the fenders real easy. I had my truck done and was in and out in under 2hrs. It also cures in like 2 minutes to full hardness so you don't have any downtime.

[@brian.7966]

it's always a good tip to put any paint on in the rotation of the earth goes on quicker.

[@joezeigler8097]

nice looking job

[@tropifiori]

Very nice job.

[@rln970]

Good move on hanging on the rotisserie and the mounting provisions. I built a trailer to haul five dirt-bikes and wish I had a rotisserie, You might consider eye protection when using a pressure washer; I have been nailed by some blowback a few times. HVLP sprayers are fantastic. We use them for an automotive quality finish on wood.

[@mcremona]

I ended up having so much splash back that the glasses became impossible to see through with the glare from the sun. You can see me flip them up onto my head at some point in the beginning. Thanks

[@123dagar]

Interesting.....target stores use a grey under coat before they paint all their red walls. It gives red a great impact. Your trailer is awesome. Great Job!

[@mlampert7676]

Dang. The rotisserie trailer holder! That’s genius
