Si feliz Navidad para ti también, i love your ideas, great work My friend👍👍👍👍

[@dufftime]

Happy Holidays to you and your family Matt!

Matthew Cremona same for you and your family!!!!!

[@Mekhanic1]

Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing your metal/wood journey on youtube!

[@rodneybooth4069]

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@oab258]

I built my tinyhome trailer the same way on the pivot after watching your video, thanks for the idea.

[@mcremona]

Awesome!

[@enchantedmountain5354]

@@mcremona How important is it to use rods out of the oven, as opposed to no oven?

[@WILSON.1]

That rotisserie setup is genius. Definitely going to copy that on my next trailer build if you don't mind!

[@mcremona]

go for it. thanks!

[@ypop417]

seen and used one's for cars and frames just adapted for a trailer

[@scnomad3626]

And if he minds you won’t copy it? Hahaha

[@pauljoseph8338]

I like the way you’re doing the ad reads...VO with your content still playing on screen. We actually didn’t have to fast forward through the ads. Well done.

[@mcremona]

Thanks! I do what I can to make them enjoyable and/or non intrusive

[@MichaelNatrin]

The rotisserie idea is awesome & that mini skid looks like so much fun to operate. Great work :)

[@mcremona]

Thanks!!

[@holtsbakery8584]

i'm impressed with your rotisserie, it looks so simple yet handles all the weight. i had started looking up trailer builds to get ideas on building one and ran across your channel...it has helped me so much. i'm a pretty decent welder and have built a lot of things but never a trailer...thanks for the help

[@MOUNTAINEAGLES]

Excellent work like always!!! ⛰🦅

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@farmer864]

How could anyone dislike your video? Miller fans? store-bought trailer fans? aluminum trailer fans? Seriously, you are so thorough you have earned all of our upmost respect. Andrew Camrata would be overjoyed!

[@michaelcoughlin8238]

So fortunate to have made the sawmill and trailer when you did. Steel prices these days are nuts!

[@Sebastopolmark]

Good job Matt, it's really starting to look like a trailer and not a bunch of metal welded together. Bring on the next video! !! !!!

[@mcremona]

Thanks Mark!

[@dannyoktim9628]

Stick welding isn't easy but can be very satisfying when you've mastered it, learned from my dad when I was 12. Great skill to have in your toolbox. Fantastic build, but I think The Rotisserie takes the cake. Smart use of scrap. . .impressive by any standard

[@naledimmelesi3298]

this guy has a brush for his trailer merry christmas everyone love u

[@1234cdsarver]

Cool young man great job

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@joebob7344]

What a fantastic idea to be able to spin it around.

[@thomasdileo9492]

Dude. Excellent idea with the turning jacks or horses.. That was a unique move.

[@Mekhanic1]

I love Matt's Metal Working page!! =)

[@BigKeith510]

The trailer rotisserie is amazing

[@brucemorris6319]

Trailer is looking good man.

[@grasshopper9313]

Matt I guess I am getting a big wake up call on the many people that watch your weekly video's I have been in a big part of my life a Master Machinist,welder ,electrical ,repair Small shop backhoe,bulldozer owner service and a big reloader and shooting sports as well as a ham radio operator ,and if I can't find a part I make it. Also Have a 14 in lathe and a small mill with 50 years of tooling too keep it going.I am 70 years old and it makes me feel really great that people came back to me threw your video with a remark that is with out words very dear to me. n2wjs Charlie.

[@edwardrook8146]

Your video reminds me of myself. It's real out there you're in your yard making things happen I believe in you dude!

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@miked9104]

This video is awesome! Welding, trailers, dudes....they just go together. 👍🏻👍🏻😎😎

[@gtuttle4]

This is a very heavy duty trailer for sure!

[@WILSON.1]

I love stick welding 7018. Pure joy.

[@WILSON.1]

Vertical-up stick is all about slowing down. It will look like it's dripping down, but that's just the slag.

[@george8873]

I think that trailer could withstand a direct hit from a nuclear warhead. Good idea to use the metal decking. Will make the logs slide on much easier when loading them. The trailer is coming along great.

[@steveadkisson2921]

It is impressive what one guy can do with some planning and ingenuity! Truly impressive work sir. I look forward to the next phase.

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@stevefromlondon9175]

Hi Matthew excellent video and you have a great work ethic that trailer will be so strong Merry Christmas to America from the U.K. Regards Steve U.K. London

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Thanks for sharing that, heavy duty, good for you!

[@terristroh3965]

Usually I pass over welding videos but I am quite intrigued on this trailer build. Nice job!

[@hightrux]

that's some very nice work there buddy

[@mountainviewturning5319]

Trailer coming along nicely

[@mcremona]

thanks!

[@cynicbeliever40]

Merry Christmas Cremona Family! Now 2 observations, your neighbors must hate you, Lindsey must be an angel.

[@pfsmith007]

I enjoy your videos. You seem to have the right tools for each task.

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@jlunde35]

Wow. Your new tag line ought to be "Happy Extreme Backyard Fabrication". You are an impressive person doing amazing things. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@jacemusgrove3073]

Nice work with the frame/tongue fish plate!

[@rickbrownsberger8181]

Have a great holiday!🎉🎊🎁

[@WayWoodworking]

That steel deck, wow! Good thing you bought the big truck!

[@jerryglen986]

You are a very good welder. Great work 😊

[@tater0909]

That’s a cute skid steer

[@phbrinsden]

I would haul that frame to your nearest hot dip galvanizing plant. I had my frame hot dipped galvanized for a very reasonable fee and it lives outside, near the coast and it is bombproof against weather. I never need to worry about scratching it either. The heavy zinc coat is very robust. For your envisaged use galvanizing is a good option. You would need to consult with them about piercing closed spaces to avoid explosions due to air expansion.

[@mcremona]

I’m waiting to hear back from them. Not exactly sure what to expect

[@paulritz5655]

Cool Matt Never realized you can hot dip something that large. This answers my previous reply comment on rust proofing under the decking I suppose.

[@phbrinsden]

The plant I use handles very large fabrications for stadiums, chemical plants etc. For a plant like that your frame would be easy to handle with their moving equipment and overhead gantry hoists. Any tubing that is completely closed must have two small holes drilled to allow the zinc to flow right through and out of those spaces (which you want) and to ensure no high pressure air build up which would be very bad in molten metal bath.

[@synthdude7664]

Can’t wait until the next video

[@boogieman3165]

I'm pretty sure you'll be able to transport a small tank when you're done. Excellent job.

[@darinmbicknell]

Building it for D-Day. Wow going to handle monster logs with ease.

[@ericrotermund1004]

Darin Bicknell makes military equipment look crappy

[@Dildo_Baggins.]

OOOHH the many jokes rolling round in my head from that comment!!!

[@NelloCambelli]

Wine differentiation is an excellent EXPERIENCE. Steve O'Donnel provided the experience from his own collection of $5.00 bottles -- included many first growth Bordeaux. His collection was created by searching out of the way package stores -- I did the same from "3 for bins". Have fun sharing your experience -- remember that the only bad wine is what you spit out. Merry Christmas.

[@mcremona]

Thanks Neil!

[@jaimemendoza5163]

That's heavy duty!

[@vincentwesolowski459]

Thank you for your KZbin channel and may you and your family have a Very Merry Christmas.

[@FredMcIntyre]

I see you're all decked out for the holidays.... Merry Christmas to you and your family Matt! 😃👍🏻🎄👊🏻

[@mcremona]

Thanks Fred! You too!

[@tonyioannoni4951]

The magnitude of this trailer, and building it alone proves that you are a heck of a worker, love your precision and ingenuity, your welding is great, but you did not showed the welds when you switched to mig...I am certain they are perfect...I prefer mig welding, you can go on and on, no sticks to change...great work young man! Cant wait to see the next video!

[@mcremona]

Thanks Tony! You can see them when I was cutting the rotisserie mount on the back

[@joelschermerhorn5447]

yes, but you get a thicker single pass bead with less effort and time when stick vs MIG. I do flux-core MIG welding mostly, simply because that's what I practiced on and thinner steel can be welded with MIG vs stick. I do eventually intend to practice stick welding because it's easier to weld thicker steel.

[@frank8534]

Who do you hang out with? I’m a fire fighter and sitting at the kitchen table with other guys we bounce idea off each other all night long. You must have ppl you talk with to get these ideas? If not, you are one smart guy.

[@specialized29er86]

Love your rotisserie design, quick n easy and strong. I to am building a trailer and want all the weld in a flat position.

[@bfd1565]

Merry Christmas Matt

[@josephmaschari1073]

Trailer is looking good. Merry Christmas

[@mcremona]

Thanks!

[@mrantone916]

Wow! Good job man!! 🤠👍

[@walterrider9600]

thank you Matt .happy holidays

[@BayAreaCowboy]

Merry Christmas Matt. Awesome build. I hope you have that entire trailer sprayed top to bottom with LineX premium when your done. It deserves it. Can’t wait to see it at work when your finished.

[@Alan.livingston]

Nice work on the metric conversions when you are discussing the decking. Normally I just zone out when people start discussing measurements in old money.

[@ericrotermund1004]

Alan Livingston you mean freedom units right lol 😂

[@Alan.livingston]

eric Rotermund “normally I zone out when people starting discussing measurements in freedom units”

[@theThinkerator]

at 6:24, when you are welding on the support plates, an old welder guy showed me how to fishplate laminate some metal 90* welds are the weakest, and lead to cracks. better to make a diamond shape, so your welds are at an angle to each other and not straight across. Far less likely to crack.

[@denisricher1349]

Looking Good Matthew... Merry Christmas to you and all your family

[@Tristoo]

I often weld at a family member's place because I'm renting an apartment and don't have room to otherwise, but I only ever manage to go there at the end of the day and thus get little daylight time. So what I ended up doing is just make a cable with a nice powerful lightbulb at the tip that I hang over my shoulder from the back. It's great for welding, and especially since it's so close and bright, I can usually see the work even with my helmet on. Because I have a long cable on the bulb I can just hang it from a high place and get good ambient lighting that way for when I switch to grinding or lining things up. I do relatively small stuff that I can move around so shadows aren't often a problem, but lamps and electric cables are cheap and durable so you could get a few more sprinkled around. So yeah, in short if the sun going away bothers you as much as it bothers me and you just wanna keep working until people come tell you to stop grinding because they're trying to go to sleep, then perhaps give that a go. With proper lighting it might even look good on youtube

[@otel155]

Merry Christmas Matt to you and your Family.

[@lonewolfdesignsbylarry]

Hey you have a Frenchie. We have 4 of the little buggers and each has a unique personality.

[@carolshawol6699]

7018 is a perfect choice for trailer fabrication

[@danieltainer9005]

Matt the work looks great with all the weight of the trailer and the logs you will be hauling you might want to look into trailer breaks less ware and tare on the truck

[@mcremona]

My old trailer had brakes as will this new one. Thanks!

[@alaskanken2132]

Man that trailer is looking great. Any luck on the house hunting? MERRY CHRISTMAS.

[@stankrieger3598]

Merry Christmas, That is one good looking trailer. Can not wait to see all the workings take shape

[@nordyfamily]

Great work! Thanks for taking the time to make, film, edit and share.

[@sunny71169]

Very nicely engineered and executed. Watching you work it is obvious that appearance is (almost) as important as function. I totally agree! Suggestion (although you may be way ahead of me on this): Add a second gusset behind the crossmember on the hitch arms to mount an electric winch with remote control to manhandle logs that need a little persuasion during loading or tie down. We run the wiring through felxible non-metallic liquid tight conduit like Seal Tight, using the weather tight fittings as much as possible. Water pipe or metallic tubing and duct seal is not as weather tight or as clean an installation. On heavy duty trailers we run the Sealtight inside water pipe for the longer runs down the length of the trailer to the tail, license plate, and back-up lights.

[@brianwestveer9532]

Awsome trailer have a merry Christmas

[@etchmfg]

Looking great! I'm jealous already. You may want to consider enclosing the gusset at the front of the tongue so that you don't create an area that will collect debris and hold moisture against the metal there.

[@josecarbajal1164]

nice stands great work!!!

[@PatrickWagz]

4:50 All that noise scared that wart-hog thing outta hibernation!! :-O

[@brucemartinez5343]

You are awesome Matt, Merry Christmas and a great New Year, wishing you the best from the Great North West, My son is no longer in Rochester but has taken a job in Tampa Bay. but I plan to go back to Minneapolis to see some of his wife's family back there, take care and hope to see. you soon.

[@jakespede7540]

Awesome build and great design. Can't wait to see the finished product. I picked up a couple of pointers watching your weld construction. Thanks.

[@paulritz5655]

Merry Christmas Jake Same. Matt you appear quite proficient. Have wondered where you honed your skills. On the job, school, military ? Nice design and choice of stock ! The rotisserie...Wow, great decision.

[@lylestatzer7112]

A very Merry Christmas to you and your family. Very nice job on the trailer, can't wait for the finished product.

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

It was watching your welding...that I realized how hard I was suppose to hit the scaling off the welds. So just this weekend, I was working on turning my old car into a snow plow and I really hit those welds hard to knock off the scaling. Excellent.

[@the1eddins]

Looking great so far! FYI if you want to save time plug welding plate onto tube in the future, depending on how thick the plate the hole definitely doesn't need to be that big. Try a couple 5/8 or 3/4 inch holes in the corners. Enough with smaller 7018 rods to get a couple passes in

[@the1eddins]

Get a needle gun to get the slag out super easy

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Great work Matt, surprised you didn’t add any type of rust preventer before placing your deck on, looks great, have a great holiday with your family

[@jonnyrocker7919]

What a genius!

[@rockeerockey6941]

Like I said before, excellent planning! Great job Matthew Cremona

[@hennietraut8012]

Awesome my man great work

[@deanflint2239]

Matt, you are a perfectionist and the welding certainly demonstrates that. A very Merry Christmas to you and your family..

[@mcremona]

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

[@cowboyyoga]

Another great video. Thank you! )))

[@royramey5659]

Looking great, Merry Christmas to you and your clan.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

It's looking great Matt, thanks for taking us along for the ride. Next time (if there is a next time LOL) for your rotisserie on one or even both ends make up two round plates that have a hole in the middle to go on the pivot points, one plate is welded to the rotisserie stand, and one to the fixture you attach to the trailer. The two round plates kind of rub against each other and in any position you can put a clamp on them to stop the rotation right where you want it. You can even drill holes in the plates to just put a pin or bolt through, very easy then to position your trailer in any orientation no matter if it is out of balance or not. Merry Christmas from Tokyo Japan!

[@toddrudnitskas1342]

Best wishes Matt and thank you very much for an entertaining and very informative channel. More in the future I hope!

[@mcremona]

Thanks!!

[@codyk3881]

nice job . it doesn't hurt to add extra weld like you did. but you definitely got enough weld on the coupler area. if you look at production trailers, you got it done. and your coupler channel mount seems thicker then most ive seen. which is good.

[@mcremona]

Thanks! I used a channel pressed from 1/2" plate vs 3/8". The cost was about the same.

[@emmanuel-ks6oh]

Well done 👍
