On the rare occasions that I’ve kept my mouth shut I’m always glad I did

[@russbell6418]

I’ll try it some day. 🤣😂🤣

[@MoaByte-v2z]

Hold my beer ...

[@larryhawkes1347]

Oh and how well that works with your spouse.

[@jeepin4on4]

I do too Scott, Rory knows what he does! I wouldn't ask him to remove a 15000KVA transformer, that's what I do. Some keyboard warrior would also tell me how to do that, never listen or even entertain such a comment. I would never tell Rory how to do his work, I just watch and learn.

[@vandyFixer]

It's better to remain quiet and be thought a fool, than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt....

[@brockryan3405]

Mike is comedic gold. Fast wit and perfect timing.

[@ohiomoto]

Shawn too!

[@reneprovencher8395]

The guy that said “I have 50 years experience”, never took a course on structural building. Your cables hold that beam. You are correct, your way keeps the beam from flexing side to side. It’s wide. You have cross bracing…….,that’s why I watch you build these things and I keep my thoughts to myself. I’m 76, I’m still learning watching you guys!!!

[@alanmumford8806]

Absolutely. Under load, the pole is mostly in compression, with lateral strength due to the cross-sectional width. The chains are in tension to carry the load, both supporting the pole laterally and tied to the cage and its angled bracing to the frame, which may actually be the weakest link. The geometry works, folks!

[@thatdave86]

Open invitation to all KZbin professors,engineering masters and university trained with degrees of substance engineering graduates ,now open for the correction of the tow truck guy 😀

[@javman03]

That was so extremely satisfying to watch Rory over bend that last bend on the rear window surround the perfect amount so it lined up dead nuts after the springback!

[@davidbreaux5989]

This was gonna be my comment exactly

[@AllenRoss-b1b]

Rory knows what works and what doesn't work !! TrailMater proves that Rory's right about what he builds !!

[@AllenRoss-b1b]

I've been watching your channel for awhile now . I absolutely enjoy all your videos and the content is amazing !!!! All I have to say is , " Rory is You and Your Crew ROCK " !!!! Keep the Videos Coming !!!!

[@WayneFields-j4c]

There are times that I have questions about certain things, but I’ve found out that if I’m quiet long enough? the answer always comes, and at some point at someone else’s expense, I’m here to watch and learn, not to be a critic of another man’s work, Merry Christmas to the house of Mater 😊🎁

[@donyoung6463]

Ditto

[@sparky-jw4pc]

Well said

[@RaymondCoggins-xd2re]

Never second guess Rory

[@kevinharris7418]

Very well spoken

[@sickjohnson]

Trying my best to hold off on asking why not put the fulcrum of the hang arm pivot forward to the cab (central) to counter the lifting force on the front wheels...decreasing the mechanical advantage? Not really questioning where it is...just want to know how it is engineered for balance and load is all? Physics made me autistic I think. 😬

[@colinfullford8630]

You gotta love this truck, it's kind of like the bastard child of Trailmater and the truck from the Beverly Hillbillies.

[@calholli]

The cab is too small for it to be practical IMO... but it definitely is worth that squeeze, for how cool it looks. lol.

[@offroad6309]

Cab, truck is totally Robbie's decision. Rory and crew extended the cab as best they could. Sure I would have made another choice. It's not my money so it's not my choice. Can't wait to see how it turns out, it will be awesome!!!

[@calholli]

@@offroad6309 It would be cool to build a Ford model TT with 1 ton axles.

[@Steve-od2di]

Oh we can make a old graphic for the side of the truck "The Layton Hillbillies"

[@jeffproctor1690]

THIS is my favorite part of this channel...shop manufacture time! Rory is an awesome visionary and metal craftsman. Just imagine what he could do if he had a heavy sheet bender and sheer machine to construct body panels. Great vid!

[@nickblood5040]

I would have asked the same question abut the orientation of the pole steel, wouldn't dreamed of "telling", but I waited, cos I have seen you do your stuff over the last few years. Thanks for the explanation, I was expecting it to come, please carry on and do what you do, exactly as you do it, and thanks for the entertaining videos.

[@marvincarter870]

Good video of the Trail Mater Team doing what they do best by welding, bending, fabricating and having a good time bringing Robby's Model A to life. The laughing and joking with these guys makes these videos the best they can be!

[@rlaxton666]

100% you have the pole around the right way. As you say for normal lifting the pole is in compression. The bending strength is needed in the left-right direction for any those wacky side loads you get when winding from weird angles or towing down a rough track. Keep up the good work. You have a brilliant instinctive knowledge of forces and materials.

[@ScottDLR]

Totally agree - people who say otherwise don't understand the loading on it.

[@dwaynepenner2788]

A large portion of the side load would be taken by the opposite chain. That’s one of the reasons there are two triangulated chains on gin poles.

[@prophotos365]

Rory you are correct and also the way you have it you have strengthened any lateral stress and we know from your videos you have a lot of that with the rescues you do!!!!!

[@tedfisk1211]

I enjoy the shop work of Rory and team a lot better than others. The three guys work well together. Enjoyable video.

[@larrywoebbecke2275]

I can't believe that people would question your builds with all the experience you have

[@calholli]

It's fine.. Physics and Engineering are counterintuitive sometimes.

[@michaelenewold9225]

The biggest reason I love this channel is the way you guys get along and joke and work so well together. ❤ Let the nay layers flake off, you know what works for you! That's why there are so many trying to do it. Great job, have fun!.

[@scrapdaddyron]

Sure know how to bend tubes, awesome work!

[@donovangregg5]

Yeah folks were under the impression that it was going to have deflection, but it is in fact under compression through the structure and the chains. You're awesome Rory and Team, keep up the great work!!!

[@cjgaltieri]

I hope some day you get to have the resources to do more builds because you are one talented fabricator, watching you use the pipe bender is always crazy, the other channels use tons of levels and take a million measurements and still don't always get the perfect bend, Rory is just over here making absolutely perfect squares with nothing more than a sharpie and his tuned eyes

[@opendstudio7141]

Bending on the next level. 👍 Y’all are dang good at caging and structure. Always a pleasure to watch you guys work your metal magic. 😁

[@Stratos53100]

That is going to be a bad ass roll cage... And an awesome ride, The hoop around the window finishes it off..

[@carry45calsw]

I thought about that comment. Then I thought. Rory has more experience with off road wreckers, so I says nothing. LoL. Keep up the good work gentleman!

[@Redhowieoliver]

Hahah😂

[@duaneayers6117]

It's nice to see Roy, Mike & Sean go out of their way to protect Robby & his Boss. A lot of people wouldn't go out of their way. Looks Great 👍🏼

[@lizzardwizard2000]

Dang- that cage looks good enough for a derby car. 😮

[@aaronmcconnell7358]

Which robbie will love😊

[@charlessides4845]

Physics lessons from Rory, I love it! Merry Christmas.

[@Steve-od6hi]

A true Joy to watch you all, as well as your thought processes, also kudos to the cameraman and editing for bringing out the best of everyone and the projects. I really love the MM.

[@brianrydzeski6108]

When I'm watching Rory, Shawn & Mike, I'm watching intellectual engineers in action. I don't question, I'm here to watch a learn. Nice work.

[@jedneal2322]

You guys are great, i love your videos, your best videos are of all 3 of you working and laughing 👍👍👍

[@ki6hzs]

No need to explain yourself. Do what you do so well. Doesn’t matter what the peanut gallery thinks. 👍🏼😎🙏🏼 Love your show John

[@mikebomar8230]

You got me laughing right at the beginning you guys are great keep on doing what you're doing. PERFECT

[@doughaven-rf8id]

I'd love to be a mouse in the corner of the shop watching the antics but I'd be laughing so hard it would make me easy to find.

[@EKAdventures51]

you Rory, you sure do debunk all the naysayers :) --- sure do like the laughter and smiles around your shop, like no other shop I watch,,, S and M and R, new channel RMS !!,,, this wrecker will survive the roll over that Robbie will surely push it to the limits !!, much my favorite channel on KZbin

[@Compton4x4]

Ole Robbie has to be smiling. 😁

[@dtemplman7816]

Watching the master at work building makes it look so easy

[@sh-df1bb]

Christmas came early around my place too. Nothing better than opening those metalcloak boxes! Just opened 12 myself for a long arm lift! Best Christmas I ever had!!!

[@kevinshaber8742]

You’re right. They’re wrong. Pole is in compression, not bending, reference your pivot. Great stuff 👍

[@ericfaley9019]

The Mini Mater looks great with the new fenders. Robbie’s tow truck is coming along nicely. That is one heck of a cage.

[@Sam-hs9we]

You do nice work. Believe it. Your rigs do the jobs. My father used to say "if you don't have anything good to say don't say anything at all. To today's standards, if you don't have a good comment then don't comment at all. And there's a lack of compassion for others feelings in general across the country. You have a lot of experience in helping others, bless you brother.

[@the1darkcorner]

That beam works the same way that the large crane beams work. Realistically it doesn't matter which way the beam sits, the tension is down it, not across. Great Video! Thanks everybody! DC

[@douglasbrooker5834]

These episodes are great because you all contribute to the building and present you're individual points of view. Please continue.😊

[@pertenghult637]

Love how you build with eye measurements Pelle from Sweden

[@mschulz55]

Never doubt Rory and crew they have a plan.

[@steveread8348]

and even if they dont have a plan, they have done this longer than any know-it-all D-bag in the comment section

[@Ross-df1yt]

Thank you guys for the comedy skits and your great knowledge in metal fabrication It's always a pleasure watching your shows Thank you Rory,,Shawn and Mike .. keep up the amazing work

[@jmjm6607]

Great job again.

[@JohnGaudette-ho5oz]

It's great to see you guys working on the Model A, My wife and I put 50,000 miles on a stock barn find '29 Model A pick-up over a 15 year period, some of our trips were as long as 900 miles. Your work brings back some great memories of our time with ours. Thanks for the great channel.

[@robertheinkel6225]

Actually it is a model AA truck. It has a longer, stronger frame than the model A to be used as a truck.

[@Kevin-ti3rz]

It was like shake n bake and you helped . Pushing the wire feed ✓

[@stretchparry6761]

Just do what you know Rory. Thanks for helping me through my cataract surgeries and my body falling apart!👍

[@burridge911]

This is another amazing video from the trailmater team! Thanks for all the enjoyment each week, guys, and keep it up!

[@freeradical6390]

You nailed it Rory! Its stronger your way anyways- side to side, which these other experts are not considering. Great job!

[@johnstancato8785]

That thing's going to be awesome can't wait till it's finished and on the road it's going to be wonderful 👍👍😎

[@kpdvw]

and then the day comes when Robby does bodywork, blow,tack and static.....!

[@RamboBlood-bw8ey]

The pully system is what's holding most of its energy and weight. Structural integrity. Science. You got it going Rori

[@blueboats]

I also wondered about the orientation of the boom pole, but I then figured you knew what you were doing. It's good to hear the explanation though. It's not a cantilever, it's a strut that is taking a compression load only inline down its axis.

[@lynnvinzant9955]

It’s all a question of tension and compression. Always fun to watch an artist at work, keep the AA coming.

[@gzrgldr8288]

When I saw the last video, I thought the same thing about the pole being stronger if it were turned, but figured you knew what you were doing better than I do. you always have a method to your madness.

[@andrewlewis5762]

Yeah baby......best build ever 😊

[@jabaniz]

Mini-Mater is now my favorite, followed closely by Ole Blue

[@PJ808H]

I go back and forth on what I enjoy the most. The recoveries or the fabrication. Regardless, the best channel.

[@stanSnider]

I can’t wait when you guys actually get this done and give it to Robbie. He is such a good guy. He always helps everyone that asked him. He is very deserving of all your hard work and I guarantee you when he sees it. You will know how much he really appreciates it. Great work guys and have a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

[@brucemenning2086]

I can't wait to see how Robbie finishes it. He's an artist when it comes to finnish.

[@davidbreaux5989]

I just love this channel. Rory, Mike and Shawn.

[@daleyeager2516]

Love the channel thank you for making content. Most do not realize content creation makes jobs take hours longer.

[@blackstargarage2791]

your fabrication is next level! everything has purpose and is well thought out. dont let people who know nothing get you down! in my opinion you should have built matts offroad wrecker

[@sidbiggs8687]

Super excited to see this build come together.

[@percyfaith11]

The tow pole is a column in compression. A circular tube would be the strongest shape for the least amount of steel. For all practical purposes, the rectangular one is fine and it's probably easier to fit in and weld to.

[@ryankelly5303]

Happy Holidays to you all.

[@petermartin2643]

I to was wondering about the pole, thanks for the explanation, it now makes perfect sense. Learn something new everyday.

[@michaelmcclure3777]

I always find more reasons to like your videos. Your answer to the comments about the pole orientation cleared that up foe me as I was wondering the same when we were seeing just the pole there, and like the casual observer I am, I never noticed that the pole on trail mater was that way. Luckily I've never claimed to be to observant 🙄 Some of us like to learn as well as be entertained 👏

[@ebaughrandleas29]

It's the most wonderful time of the year, fabrication season at Trail Mater.

[@stephenpoe2037]

The truck is coming along nicely ! Thanks for sharing !

[@georgevindo]

You guys are doing very nice work on the old Model A. Thanks.

[@robertheinkel6225]

Grandpa Mater is coming along.☺️ We love watching your videos 😊

[@steveclark4291]

Thank you Rory , Mike and Shawn for the update on Robby old wrecker !

[@markblevins946]

Brown Santa! Love that phrase and will happily steal it

[@toddpaul9002]

Its so funny how ppl question you n mike n shawns Ability to building offroad vehicles rory , u guys r one of the best offroad recovery and building teams out there ❤ 🥇🏆💯 keep doing what ur doing rory u guys r awesume n r doing awesume things 🥇👍❤️

[@jamesmurray7997]

Totally agrees with your comment regarding the pole. James (structural engineer) from Australia.

[@SeaSausalito]

Welder fix is so classic Trail Mater action. So funny, thanks gang.

[@sickjohnson]

Xmas came early for JR Mint/Mini-Mater...Metalcloak fenders look sweet!

[@deanhuffman48]

Never doubt perfection!!! People Rory and his crew kno what there doing ❤

[@davidsharp3522]

After building so many purpose built vehicles it’s cool to see start to finish done cleanly and succinctly, lessons learned👍

[@georgejulius9961]

Hey, Rory, Shaun and Mike. The truck is coming along very nicely. You guys rock.👍

[@vicgustafson8514]

Rory thanks for the explanation on the pole. I thought the same as the rest. To be honest I never noticed the pole on trailmater because there is soooooo much attached to the pole. Lol Keep building.

[@RustedWrench]

So freakin cool !! Keep up the great work dude 👍

[@taylormade710]

Rory, you have proved them wrong, do what you do.

[@kstricl]

Excellent work on that cage. Glad to know Robby, the boss and crew will be safe if the worst happens.

[@poena0869]

Like I said on a previous video, I really do love these shop videos. Great job guys!!!

[@katreniaclark]

The cage for Robbies truck looks GREAT. Mike, Your hair looks awesome and you look good without a hat. Mini Maters new fenders looks great as well.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Rory (and Mike), you are absolutely right. The load on the pole is pushing down parallel to the length of the pole! My opinion from 65 years of experience!! LOL!! More progress on the AA wrecker. She's taking shape and looking good!!

[@stevewray481]

Build is looking awesome!!! Oh and I would say your design is perfect. The perfect design is one that works!!!

[@graxav]

Great job dudes!!

[@byrono61]

I've got 50 yrs. machine shop experience, and I love to see you prove old farts like me wrong. I fabricate stuff to solve people's problems, and I think that your ideas are brilliant. stay the course!

[@andybee4236]

Non tortional compression force. Rory, thanks for helping "people" understand. I do like it when you "educate" with facts. I'm envious of your restraint. 😂😂😂

[@EXPIOWA]

That pole is oriented correctly because most of the loads it will experience are either in compression as Rory explained, or are lateral loads because the towed vehicle will swing, also when side pulling. Side to side rigidity is very important when forces are acting upon a lever in this way.

[@dwaynepenner2788]

Meh, the chains also support side to side loads. As long as that beam is strong enough in compression orientation isn’t terribly important.

[@rockercover]

This rig is shaping up very nicely.

[@paulhoneyman6923]

Rory, I've been watching you and the guys for a few years now and want to thank you all for the videos of what you do and the fun you all have together. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all at Trailmater Offroad Recovery

[@aaronbrand3813]

I’m really looking forward to watching this build..!

[@kenmurray4232]

The internal structure is looking really good. I like the idea of the 1x2 across the top for body structure to replace the wood. Really cool to see your vision coming together. Robby will be impressed when he gets a chance to look at it. As for the pole, I'm sure others will comment on how you are right. I've never built one so I don't have an opinion I just watch to learn & have a good chuckle.

[@Michaels_Coffee]

Thanks again guys. Keeping the wolves away for the winter.

[@edwinschlee8374]

Going to be a strong interior. Nice looking fenders for the jeep!

[@davidalcott2278]

As a structural engineer your pole is absolutely fine as is. Your reasoning is correct, as usual.

[@dwaynepenner2788]

Ermm, shouldn’t you be a doctor to make that assessment?

[@chuckd7177]

Since you have a pivot at the bottom of the beam, no load can be applied that will cause a moment to be applied to the beam in its weak direction. If you had welded the beam in place, then I would have agreed with other gentlemen. Keep up the good work.

[@lloydreeves715]

Keep up with the good work love watching your videos on KZbin God bless

[@OpieDogie]

Absolutely amazing!!!!

[@ryanreaves1203]

Rory, you're one hell of a fabricator!!!
