Welding Trailer Build Pt 2

[@gtmotorsports937]

Another great video. Thanks for sharing. How I always remembered colors for lights there is an “L” in yellow and an “L” in left and there is an “R” in green and an “R” in right. Looking forward to seeing this trailer finished. I contemplated building a rack to mount a welder on so I can put it on my flatbed truck and then remove it if I needed to. Then I saw this video and now it makes more sense to me to build a trailer.

Nice build going on. Can’t wait to see it finished. I just put a welding trailer together because I don’t have a rig truck anymore. Take care and stay safe.

[@lukesangrey1951]

that welder is so awesome

[@dustintschetter9734]

Yellow is left- yellow lines on pavement Green is right- green grass ditch side

[@johngraves9201]

I always remember it as Yellow has an “L” for left and Green has an “R” for right.

[@jongmedellin4890]

nice , what tools did you to drill holes, look easy to see...

[@j_moffitt]

Carbide hole saw

[@j.c.smithprojects]

very neat trailer. how thick of material will that welder do?

[@j_moffitt]

I have yet to test it on its limits yet, I’ll go into a more in-depth review here shortly. Should be well capable of 3/8” plate in a single pass possibly more.

Good work

[@vigwelding926]

Good job !!! Only thing that made me a little nervous was the gas can beside the trailer when you were welding. I know we have all done it because we get caught up in the moment, but I still get a little edgy when I see it. I'm as guilty as anyone. Keep up the good work.

Good video Friend keep up the good work 👍

[@brianherron5400]

Nice job 👍

[@geraldtrice4894]

Nice build. You may want to reconsider the mounting location of the jack stand. If pulled by a pickup the Jack stand will be in the way of lowering the tailgate.

[@j_moffitt]

True

[@chadknotts8377]

So what do you think of the forney 220 mp I was considering buying one haven't heard much about them saw your video on it by the way great channel bud

[@samchivers621]

I actually bought that machine because of this channel. One of the most honest reviews on it I have found. It seems to be a decent machine so far, no gripes yet. My only complaint is the supplied chart seems off for mig. Maybe it’s just my welding skills 🤷‍♀️

[@chadknotts8377]

@@samchivers621 I own a welding shop and I own all Lincoln welders and always been a Lincoln man but the forney has peaked my interests

[@j_moffitt]

No complaints at all about the machine

[@chadknotts8377]

@@j_moffitt ok thanks

[@moisestorres90]

What brand is that green welding machine and where did you buy it?

[@joshuawilson7201]

Why did you put the axle that far back? I'm curious because I'm about to build my welding trailer.

[@j_moffitt]

To make backing easier

[@AceBoy2099]

Only 8 min in but, couldn't you weld a bolt to the inside of the tube behind the lights and put a nut on them for the grounds? Also as I seen mentioned I remember trailer wiring as going down the highway, the grass (green) is on your right, and the yellow lines on the road are on your left.

[@j_moffitt]

Yes, welding a nut inside is a good idea for the grounds

[@joeponder9668]

Coming along nicely Jesse!!! Do you use a certain tip for the torch to make nice and clean cuts like you did for the tail lights?

[@j_moffitt]

For anything under say 1/4" I try to use a 000 tip and go as quick as the cut will allow to eliminate distortion on thin material

[@dennisisaac746]

What bout those cans of flammable stuff boom

[@jacobcormier4026]

I tack stainless bolts by each light on my trailers that way I know they are grounded

[@davidgreene8594]

Could you get the tongue weight off this with the welder on it?

[@j_moffitt]

It was maybe 100lb

[@Ben-sv9op]

How do you get c chanel in to be flush floor

[@j_moffitt]

Not sure I understand your question

[@Ben-sv9op]

@j_moffitt The cross members going from left to right How are they flush .. Like, you're putting c channel into c chanel . Sorry my english not the best

[@j_moffitt]

@Ben-sv9op they ends are coped to match the profile of the c channel

[@viperr5182]

How much in total did it cost you (material wise)

[@j_moffitt]

So far maybe 3-400

[@CPSteveMiller]

No views no likes. Damn I'm early af 😂 Wooo

[@lukej5265]

No suspension?

[@j_moffitt]

Torsion axle

@@j_moffitt thanks. Also do you know where you can buy metal beams for trailer making?

[@rickyherbold]

Carefull with the grinding next to your fuel cans. 😬

Kaboom

grinding and welding near a gas can with a rag stopper o_0

[@bradackerman5143]

So you don’t know how to measure

[@j_moffitt]

Thought that was obvious

It’s a registry you’re a trailer it must be a real pain in the ass it’s a lot of It’s a lot of running around and a lot of money involved just a registry your trailer I wonder how long it took you to register your trailer just a headache
