Tool Trailer Tour 2020

Long tour video of most of the stuff that we have to build and remodel houses. We’re getting ready to jump into a big remodel on the trailer and kick it up a notch. I’ve been doing Instagram stories about the stuff I’m building for the trailer as I build. Check it out @barrycontractingllc.

[@kcbrashear22]

Great video! Thanks for the update, you have inspired me to build my enclosed trailer so it's only fair I upload a video!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

K.C. Brashear I’ll be looking forward to it. I really wanted to buy a new one. But it’ll be fun making this one work.

[@Nathan-H]

Excelent video, just enough information without going to indepth. I love your custom battery storage rack. I've got Rons plans. I'm a DIYer and I'm planning on doing out my 8' x 12' based on this. Thanks for giving me some additional inspiration.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

That’s exciting. Trailer building is exciting!

[@Potrvlb]

Excellent video and what a fantastic trailer, well done!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Thank you very much! The New version blows this one out of the water!

[@russalbright4213]

Great video as always! I am excited to see the progress and finished product when you get it all done!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Russ Albright figures we needed a baseline before we start tearing things apart!

[@MrJamesIreland]

Nicely setup trailer. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

James Ireland thanks. It’s been a blast to build. I’m excited about the new version in the works.

[@RenovationsandRepair]

Sweet trailer man! Looking forward to the remodel!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Renovations and Repair start of the ladder rack this weekend 😉 it’s gonna be a nice one. I’m looking forward to the build! Videos to follow!

[@ThaoNguyen-qq8zg]

Any video about tool trailers I will watch. Always improving and leaning out

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Thao Nguyen then stay tuned because mine is going through quite the remodel!!

[@nrehberg]

I think the packout storage will be WAY nicer than the viewtainers. I look forward to seeing the finished trainer and the finished house.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

nrehberg I agree. It’ll also allow me to set up one of my employees with a packout for small jobs. They can take what they need and go knock out day projects without. Reading the entire trailer.

[@peterkiernan1668]

Onward and upward.good video,looking forward to the modifications.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Peter Kiernan I’m excited to get the remodel finished up.

[@gsh319]

Big spending year.. front to back. Works great !!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Scott H every year is a big spending year. LOL

[@koltonkrulicki677]

i really like what you did with the foam holding your tools in place. fucking sweet dude.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Kaizen foam from fast cap! Got the inspiration from my toolbox during diesel school!

[@robmazzitelli]

Nice build!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Thank you! It’s been 3 years and I can’t imagine not having a trailer.

[@italorocha32]

Perfect 👍

[@EM-fi2qg]

10:23 How thick is the plywood on those dividers? The ones that you grooved for the individual dividers. Is that 5/8 or did you use 3/4? Thanks. 👍

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

3/4 plywood with 1/4” deep dados. The divider material is 1/4”.

[@EM-fi2qg]

@The Bearded Builder Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.

[@ram12e6]

Link to the drywall lift please...nice trailer.. I cant wait to get a trailer and some automatic tools those are going to be game changers

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

ram 12e www.edma-tools.us/en/plasterboard-handling-solutions/3839-edmaplac-450-new-generation-panel-lifter-3476060026736.html the lift is awesome. The new drywall tools are proving to be awesome as well!

[@adamsgarage2451]

Nice collection!!!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Adam’s Garage grows a little more each year.

[@esquire9445]

Calling everything a crap collector isn’t the space.. it’s that you need a garbage can in there. Which is actually a good idea.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Check out the new build. No crap collectors. Little more thought out. And a space for a garbage can. Lol

[@irishsavage8715]

Aaaaammmm aaaaaaammmmm aaaaaaammmm….Is that some Yankee code 🤷🏻‍♂️😂

[@jayhyde3773]

Nice trailer my friend

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Jay Hyde thanks man. Hoping it will be even better after the remodel!

[@jayhyde3773]

My beards gray now .. ha

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Jay Hyde ive got a few grays coming in. But not too bad!

[@jayhyde3773]

63 ...ALL GRAY..

[@craigthecarpenter2494]

I've started my build based on Ron Paulk's plans as well and was skeptical on a few aspects you mentioned, so thanks for your honest feedback! Also, love your solution for battery storage. Great video!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Craig the Carpenter everyone finds stuff that works for them. I’m really excited for the new build as I know what will work better for me after using Ron’s setup for the last 3 years.

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

7:00 You keep saying your drawers turn into shit collectors, but if you get rid of them where do you intend to keep all the things that are in them? It's got to go somewhere. Maybe make them less deep and introduce some dividers. I've found that if shit starts collecting in an unorganized way it is usually me being lazy and not putting things back where they should go and in an organized manner. Just curious what your solution will be. Also, I think the higher price paid for baltic birch plywood is way worth it.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

SuburbanHobbyist that’s exactly what I did. I took the depth out of that side of the trailer. This made life much easier. I also spent a while going through my small scrap plywood and making lots of dividers in the drawers on the “driver” side of the trailer. The dividers worked so well that I actually completely removed one of the tool cubbies above the drawers. I’ll have a trailer video coming in the very near future talking about a lot of the “fixes” that I made to the original build. Thanks for watching!

[@suburbanhobbyist2752]

@@TheRealBeardedBuilder Awesome. I'm finally going to build out a tool trailer. It's been way too long.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

SuburbanHobbyist summer got busy but I’m finally getting back into the swing of finishing the trailer. It’s been a rough summer!

[@sawdustadikt979]

Is that a bravo trailer?

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Yes that is correct. It’s a bravo scout. I had it built with the heavier frame and 16oc framing members.

[@sawdustadikt979]

Ha! I got a scout. 16x8.5 wide. I’m digging your remodel on it! I got a walk through on it here on KZbin. I’m filming a 8 year ownership review on it right now. I ordered mine full custom, as durable as possible. I have to order a new one. A tree fell on it. It will all be on the review, hope it comes out good. I drew up plans to remodel it but that tree put me in a whole other opportunity. Is the video making helping your biz? Thanks for replying and your content.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

@@sawdustadikt979 idk if I’d call it helping my business but I’m finally in the KZbin partner program so I can monetize and make a little extra money. I’m hoping to buy a little bigger bravo in the next year or so. I’m really thinking 8.5x18 or 8.5x20.

[@sawdustadikt979]

Me to on the trailer size, possibly an extra 6in taller to. Dunno about getting a ladder rack from them again, maybe something fabricated instead. As for the biz growth, thanks for the honesty. I get mixed feedback from the little feedback I get. Also, your propane furnace idea is lit 😆 as if there was ever a better time to say that phase! At least I thought it was you I saw that did that. I’m totally doing that on the next rig. No more throwing out stuff for me. Your crushin it, keep it up! Have a profitable week!

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

@@sawdustadikt979 I’m really happy with my custom rack. I’ll probably build one again. I wish I could get them to build the trailer with 2” thick walls lol. More insulation!

[@jeepsuc99]

What size is that trailer?

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

jeepsuc99 7x16 with a 78” interior. It’s also has a 30” v nose.

[@Jeziorski7]

how does your lighting work?

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Canadianguy91 this set up was 110 ac. When the trailer was plugged into a wall receptacle it would power the lights. The new set up is all 12 volt. No need to have the trailer on shore power. Videos about the electrical setup are coming in the near future.

[@Jeziorski7]

@@TheRealBeardedBuilder ok cool. Im picking up my trailer tomorrow, so starting the electrical planning stage now

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Canadianguy91 is suggest a stand-alone 12 volt system. The most irritating thing about this set up was not having the trailer plugged in and using my phone flashlight to find stuff

[@chicagohandyman]

cox caulk gun. hahaha

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Dude, those are the best cock guns I’ve found.

[@wildwoodtop]

wonder what this dude has in his basement

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

A couple mountain bikes and some snowboards.

[@wildwoodtop]

lol Thx Dude! U RAWK

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

@@wildwoodtop I was really confused by the comment. But that’s actually what’s down there 😂

[@jayhyde3773]

Damn I wish ...ha

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Jay Hyde wish for the trailer? It’s been 3 years in the making lol

[@jayhyde3773]

It's alright..I luv to have trailer.. hauling in car ... regular trk ...gets old

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Jay Hyde that’s why I built this out. Got sick of hauling stuff in the back of my truck.

[@elcholomovil]

Why have every single little scredriver orginized instead of having just a bag with all your screw drivers and also why not make bags with tools for specific jobs like framing, drywall etc ? Must be a pain in the ass having to go back to the trailer everytime you need something.

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Christian_builds the biggest reason for me is to see what’s missing. I think it all depends on your work flow too. I have a bag/tote that I load up with what I need based on the task at hand. I also have an occidental rig so when I’m framing I’ll load my pouches with framing related tools. If you like the bag idea I’d just build the typical “contractor trailer built out of 2x4s or 2x6s and whatever scrap plywood I have laying around” and load the shelves up with your bags for each task. I’ve been working out of this trailer since 2017 and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I take time in the morning to set up for whatever task we are doing and that’s it. Maybe a run or two back to the trailer for something unexpected but it’s not 100 trips a day.

[@elcholomovil]

@@TheRealBeardedBuilder i see your point.. thanks for the answer sorry if i sounded rude, it was not my intention.... im building mine at the moment but i just dont know if building something like that woul be worth it with my way of working .. well thanks and keep up the good work..

[@TheRealBeardedBuilder]

Christian_builds everyone has a system. I know guys who swear by vans but I could never see myself working out of one. I used to work out of my pick up bed and I could never see myself going back to that. For me I have multiple employees working out of this trailer. The main reason I take the time to “over organize” if you will, is because things go missing. It’s not necessarily that they are taking the tools. But things can get left behind when we hit a few small jobs in one day. That’s where the over organization comes into play for me. When we leave I can do a quick once over in the trailer and see exactly what is and isn’t loaded. If I was a one man show with no intentions on hiring other employees I may have used a much more simple setup. At the end of the day as long as we can get our tools to and from that’s all that matters! I also apologize if I came off a bit snippy. I was having one of those days and took your comment wrong! Good luck with the build! I’d love to see it when you’re finished! Cheers

[@danbob1650]

Shit collector lol
