Sounds like DeBoss Driveway Gate is a new project.

[@kevenhiemie]

I was thinking the same thing. Something big, cool, distressed looking and says keep the ____ out.

[@AndrewBrowner]

never seen a guy so cranky about someone stopping by with coffees while youre working.. wish i had that problem, i mean sure be a little quick a little rude no need to stop work a 60 second im up these this and that thanks for the double double cheers and back at it sorry cant talk

[@kevenhiemie]

@@AndrewBrowner ppl are weird and will travel. I won't want some random weirdo just stop in my house or work place to say hi. If I don't know you I wouldn't want you just stopping by where my family is located. Just b/c you think you're cool doesn't mean it's o.k. to invade someone's privacy. Most likely you're not that cool and probably more creepy.

[@servicioelectromecanicocue7025]

​@@AndrewBrownerBro im not a youtuber but im mechanic and when you are working and trying to figure out a problem, people asking random things are very annoying, even more if you are in a hurry

[@davidsawyer1599]

Essential Craftsman is doing that very thing. He is building an entry gate that is quite substantial. He states it's to keep the Deer out of his garden. He's being polite

[@neilrensen8950]

I’ve known Rich a while, good friend and live near him. He’s done work on my equipment and trucks before his shift to all KZbin content. I rarely just “drop in on him”. He’s largely a one-man shop. The work he does to keep creating great content is relentless. If he isn’t serious about treating it like the full time job it is, this channel will not work. There’s really not a lot of time for chit chat with all the projects he’s juggling. I’ve had to learn to respect his space myself 🙃

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

Home is supposed to be your sanctuary, where you can get away from all the social obligations and just be in your own space. People dropping in on public figures like they have an obligation to them is the reason celebrities live behind high fences.

[@robwigglezz944]

Some people just dont know how to separate reality from the the Internet. You'd never go into a stangers property. Just because someone talks to you in a video, tjat doesn't make them family.

[@TurdJesus]

[@kenwillis8487]

I know right. Imagine thinking that it was ok to drive there like your going to visit a buddy and thinking that was normal! Blows my mind. Heck I don’t even visit family or friends without calling first!

[@Jerremy10169]

Very true, ive actually met rich before twice, even had a beer with him the second time, still wouldnt pull something that stupid. A mans home is his castle.

[@toddmccarter45]

Im kind of suprized with as big as he is that this is the first time he has had this issue

[@Ike113]

That milling was surprisingly satisfying to watch.

[@NousagiMechanic]

Never expected to watch lumber being milled on a heavy machinery channel. Pretty cool seeing ALL the different aspects of these restorations, even down to cutting your own trailer deck!

[@dwayneharralson8158]

like the mill isn't heavy machinery

[@TheBrokenLife]

I'm moderately surprised that you don't have a gate on your driveway by now. Park the tank down there.. 🤣

[@tdotw77]

😅 That'd just attract more strangers! As soon as they saw that huge thing by the road as they're driving by, they'd immediately stop to investigate it! I know I probably would! 😅😅🚜🚜⛓️👍👌🤔

[@TheBrokenLife]

@@tdotw77 I was joking...

[@mitsnevets]

We left the center floor section between the main beams open to store the outrigger boards that way when needed left a nice opening to chain things to cross members if need be then when done throw the outrigger boards back in the center .just was a handy way to kill 2 birds with one stone

[@texas4ever]

Nice video! We never stained the decking on our trailers. We also used boards that were 3/8-1/2” taller than the beams. That way the machinery tracks would be on wood. This kept the steel from getting worn and the wood kept the machine from sliding

[@toomanyhobbies2011]

Good advice, but the stain was to match the tractor pulling this trailer.

[@texas4ever]

@@toomanyhobbies2011 Thanks Capt.

[@owendodman3037]

Well said! Love the coffee line. We all need some where to hide our family away, leave rich in the woods, and go to cars and coffee when he goes.

[@rangerismine]

Trailer looks awesome! Also I really like how you used a local sawmill owner and repurposed some old white oak logs for your trailer.

[@theglitch99]

Great lowboy, Redecking trailers is alway difficult but worth it in the end. Until you punch your 1st hole in it!😂 Like the choice of wood! IMPRESSIVE!😊

[@larrydavidson3402]

The trailer turned out real nice, lots of hard work into it and it shows.

[@doomdestructer-t5630]

HA! Tewsleys tiltbed is an NRC! I have two big NRC tilt beds at work

[@kevenhiemie]

I used a clear coat on my trailer deck. I sprinkled a little grit sand on it while still wet. It worked pretty well and it helped with the slipperiness when wet. Learn that trick from an asphalt guy putting sand on top of a freshly sealed driveway.

[@campervanbug7658]

Whorible idea, expanded steel over it a good idea

[@kevenhiemie]

@@campervanbug7658 Whorible? Are you trying to call my idea cheap and easy? 😂 You just got to one-up everyone don't you @campincruze58 . I bet your boat is bigger than mine also? 🙄

[@theglitch99]

Sounds good on the wood, any grip is better than none!

[@kenwillis8487]

I could not imagine just showing up at a strangers house! Yes I said Stranger, we may know who they are and enjoy the content they create but overall beyond the videos they put out they are strangers to us and more so us to them! To think people drive hundreds of miles in some cases to take coffee to there favorite content creator and in there mind see nothing wrong with that. I bet they get all pissy if you have an attitude as well might even think you owe them that one on one time!

[@TheBrokenLife]

I don't think it's just a creator thing... A couple of years ago a random woman walked _inside of my garage,_ while I was under a car and unable to see her, and started asking if it was so-and-so's house. ...I've seen more than one horror movie that started that way, especially when it comes to an unaccompanied woman just blundering around in a strange man's residence. I wouldn't believe how stupid people have become if I couldn't see it with my own eyes.

[@AndrewBrowner]

i assumed he meant locals.. cant imagine anyone is going out of the way hours to maybe see him in the driveway and maybe drop off a coffee thats insane.. he must of just had a bad experience as he was filming this.. someone stopping and and saying hey thats cool heres a double double isnt that horrific, different story if they hang around for 45 minutes getting in the way and asking 75 questions

[@martyniner8893]

Like RUSH sings in Limelight, “ I can’t pretend a stranger is a long awaited friend”

[@sixfivedome]

[@Rick-678]

Great job Rich. I was going to call you and ask for the chains and binders back after watching the first episode. After watching the whole series you damn well deserved them. Haha. Amazing work, and I enjoyed every episode watching her come back to life. I will be sure to text you if I am ever in the area before I bring you a coffee. Cheers 👍

[@elesjuan]

That trailer looks slick, Rich! Also, some people are out of their minds. I'd love the chance to meet you one day, maybe buy you a beer or something, but Jesus.. Randomly coming by your house? That's... just rude and Hella invasive. Nicest way I could put it.

[@Ibis117]

Fascinating episode. Every time I watch a DG/DGHD video, I learn something new. Thank you.

[@LaLaLand.Germany]

Aww, man, I can´t make it to open house but the trailor IS pretty! Really nice looking rig. And I won´t just drop in, I´m from Germany... So, Cheerio over the pond!

[@mattg1093]

Rich most lowboys use big washers that clamp the boards down by drilling right next to the cross member. Way easier and no more holy supports!!! Great build!!!

[@metalmetz]

That trailer looks great! Good job Rich and friends!

[@peteparker7396]

You should have left the boards out of the center because you’ll need some where to put your extension boards when you’re not using them.

[@theproceedings4050]

Man, sawmill work always reminds me of my first job, a neighbor had a portable mill he used for custom orders, it was a lot bigger and mostly hydraulic but the sawn lumber still had to be pulled, stickered, and stacked. Hardest day I did we cut around 20 48-56" tulip logs for somebody doing woodworking. They wanted the widest possible slabs at 2.5 inches thick. That lumber was brutally heavy, I can't even believe I did a full 10 hours of that.

[@cumminsdaily7467]

They make clips that grab onto the bottom of the crossmember, that way you don’t have to drill threw the crossmembers. When they drill into the crossmembers they can crack from flexing.

[@Hondaatvriders]

Looks awesome! I have the same itch to buy a sawmill for here on the farm. I also feel your pain with stripping off old decks and putting new on- I just did my F-350 flat bed (looked like this might be the 4th deck so imagine the shotgun blast of broken self tappers I had to avoid) and my 27’ gooseneck trailer. Exactly like you said, painful while doing it, lots of broken tips and drill bits but taking the time to do 3/8” carriage bolts and hardware makes me happy that both look good and are easier maintenance/replacement whenever.

[@make725daily1]

Your video epitomizes sheer brilliance! - "Each conquered challenge propels you closer to the pinnacle of success."

[@wbball15]

Incredible work, Deboss crew. And shop kitty.

[@MyDuckfoot]

I worked building supplies for 20 year. Always recommended semi transparent stain as solid stains tend to peel and red is going to fade real fast with out a uUV sealer as red contains Ocker and it dose not hold up in the sun.

[@mann_idonotreadreplies]

Cool story bro

[@mcqueeninc]

Looks great It’s gonna look good behind the Kenworth

[@christianwernher9559]

That is a sweet saw!

[@chloehennessey6813]

Dads friend has a small lumber mill in Alaska on Prince of Wales Island. He does it for just lumber. He logged his property and used the logs to build his home and a few small outhouses and an open air building thing for the mill that keeps him out of the rain and weather. So cool to see him make lumber out of logs.

[@ericreinoehl4350]

The best product I ever seen for trailer decking was from a guy that bought a tractor off me. He used old composite decking from a deck for his trailer deck.

[@jamestsmith4500]

I haven't commented on your build yet, but this whole build is awesome. I just had to find the rest of the series on the rebuilding the "tri axle" after I saw the face book post on finding and buying an abandoned tri axle trailer. Great job. I like your channel better than some of the other channels I watch. The wood cutting part is interesting too. Does the wood works milling guy have a you tube channel ?

We used to run the center board unbolted that way we could use them for the outriggers when necessary. We would also use clips to clamp the boards to the crossmembers.

I love your words of wisdom at the end about getting dirty and getting it done.. Motivation is sometimes an issue for me, so I appreciate the bump. And for God's sake people, leave these KZbinr's alone! Somewhere, somehow, sometime, someone has failed you miserably. Show some respect and afford these folks the privacy they deserve. I know it feels like you get to know people because you spend so much "virtual time" with them, but that is not a relationship. Boundaries, y'all!

Nice mill. Looks like a Husky 395xp. I have one that I built. Big bore, Meteor piston, Caber rings, modded muff, advanced timing, modded carb, full-chisel, Sugi bar, etc etc. She's a ripper. Great saw, doesn't get used as much as my 372 or 346 Huskies, or any of my Stihls either. I have a bunch of them. Cheapo ms250, ms440 mag, 026's, ms660, ms880 mag. All built by yours truly. Other than turning wrenches on vehicles for more than a few decades, I got bitten by the saw bug after I started working for a tree service company. In case anyone couldn't tell LMFAO 😆 I try to recycle used motor oil for staining/ treating the decking whenever possible. Works awesome and it's free. 😁👍

[@user-zl7ni2co2v]

My second 3rd and 4th jobs were in sawmills. As I learned I moved into better paying mills. The first mill I worked was called a stick mill. Had been there almost 100years but had upgraded to being run by a diesel engine. Even that old mill those logs would have been an hr , hr and a half work

[@grooveguy]

SWEET BC REPRESENT ❤❤❤👍👍👍😎😎💯

[@kylebailey791]

Awesome job brother!!

[@Thomas-wh5in]

That decking looks great, but I wouldn’t of drilled the frame… all new lowboys just drill the wood and use carriage bolts and large washers to catch the frame. Makes changing out broken boards a half hour job even with rust. You know what’s it’s like changing them out drilling the frame. I had 2 lowboys running up north in the oilfields of alaska, rust grew on moss.

[@northeasterndirtandpropert7974]

[@dann988]

Just like Holmes says if you are going to do it, do it right !

[@jacobrobinson175]

He should build a hoop to mount to the back of the flatbed that you can put a snatch block on to run a winch through to pick the log up and then pull it onto the bed be way easier to get more logs on

[@TrashPandaPirate]

Man i wish id found this series like 2 weeks earlier i would've come to the open house thing, im in Rochester ny so its like an hour away for me. Ive been following edison motor company since it was back if the napkin planning, i wouldve loved to go

[@joshp.2237]

I would love to see a rollback build for Tewsley. But a quick build that wouldn't take very long is a nice gate. Its totally different if one were to bump into you at the grocery store and take just a moment of your time vs just show up uninvited not only where you work but where you and your family live. Thats a private area. However it would need to be a big gate so that there is room for the trailer to follow aa you turn in and out of your driveway. Maybe build a wide gate that rolls rather than swing and split it in half that way it doesn't take so long to fully open.

[@DGHD]

Its happening on the other channel with the Fargo cab on a DT466 4900 chassis

[@joshp.2237]

Oh sweet. Only 3 episodes in, haven't missed much and it will be easy to catch up. That will be great.

[@seaglider844]

Beautiful job resurrecting an old piece of equipment and using 100 year old oak that you had cut for you is the cherry on top! And people, please don't harass Rich he's a busy man getting filthy! 😆 Seriously though come by at a car show or open house for crying out loud!
