Refurbishing rusty 60 year old boat trailer part: 1

[@ShawnaHorsez]

What did I miss? Why not just Sandblast and be done?

Looking good this is Mike the welder

[@mickeymouse-lu2yk]

I thought sanding galvanized metal was dangerous and so a respirator is needed to avoid breathing in zink dust - am not sure of this but am using one to be on the safe side for my trailer restoration - hoping i am wrong, please be careful

[@Backyardboats]

Yes, it is. I didn’t have one but should have used one.

I LIKE WHAT YOUR DOING BUT PLEASE WEAR A HAIR NET

[@Backyardboats]

I learned to put my hair up after this video was shot…. And wear gloves lol

[@KevinSmith-xt7gt]

Just started following you. This is the third video I have seen. Looks cool. Is their a way for us to see how much time is passing in time lapse? I know it looks silly but wearing a mask will help you both 🙏🙈. Really enjoying the videos

[@Backyardboats]

I know I need a mask! I’ve since started using one. & about 15 hours in total and 30 off camera. This took way too long.

[@KevinSmith-xt7gt]

@@Backyardboats Awesome🙏… is this the first boat you guys have redone or has there been others. Going to keep watching to see how the progress goes. Thanks for the content

[@Backyardboats]

First one! Now is the hard part. I have one that’s fully running. It’s in my shorts

[@jasonmayer9879]

who are all of the people that are helping you?

[@Backyardboats]

Just Brice and I! & a welder. Pretty much doing it all by myself

[@elysagroves5368]

Are you gonna paint it too?

[@Backyardboats]

Yes of course haha, this is why it’s just a part 1. I’m gonna get the rest of the metal entirely bare before I prime it then I’m painting it a cherry red to match the boat :)

[@Backyardboats]

pin.it/74zPg2f the paint I have is similar to the original red here

[@elysagroves5368]

@@Backyardboats it’s gonna look great keep up the good work

[@robforsyth8254]

Good work there. I do hope you were wearing breathing apparatus as the yellow undercoat is zinc chromate and is highly toxic and carcinogenic. Has been banned in a lot of countries due to this.
