Who's this guy? 3 min in you got my subscription, very good editing skill here , no temptation to fast fwd thru the intro.
The same thing happened to me
He had me within 2 minutes of discovering this particular video. I hope the rest are this good or (Dare I hope?) better.
@Dragon Ladyz I've enjoyed all I've watched, even on topics I wasn't interested in!
Russell crows brother
Same 😄
Did anyone else thoroughly enjoy watching him flip the trailer over?
And here we are!! Good to see you back
I’ve been wanting to do something like this! With my experience in towed Artillery, I’ve seen how hydraulics are used to raise and lower wheels on the guns that are essentially also a trailer.
Just stumbled upon your video. Great work, I appreciate that you add in some humor and humility along with education. You are a very skilled person! Looking forward to watching the remainder of the build.
Wow! Such a nice comment Dandy, you made it to the " I read it out loud to the wife category" which is a very exclusif selection 😅 Thanks for it, you really get what I m all about 😁👍
@@VinyB57 ahhhhh, you made me blush
@VinyB57 which safety factor have you considered in that design? Nice job!
Nice work as always Viny, I have done a similar sketchy dual axle trailer flip to paint and sand it, I survived as well
Great idea to square the frame with the string method. Good to see you again.
Thanks stuart!
You are Crazy Awesome! So cool Tricks and you share them with us. Bless you
Wow, Awesome Job! I love your workshop. Peace from Maine.
Can’t wait for the drawings man looks promising !!!
Great craftsmanship.
Finally... something new to watch of you! Good to see you again! 👍
Thanks man! Yep, anothor (small) serie built. And then it's racing time!
Super beau projet!!
...was leaf spring sprung, low to the ground( not too low) and made a tilt back trailer. Just old fashion leverage and fulcrum. Enjoyed the video. Thanks.
Muchas Felicidades Joven Por Su Canal. Saludos Cordiales Desde Mazatlán, Sinaloa, México. ..
Definitely would like a copy of those blueprints for this build...👍🏼🔥🔥
Should be done at the end of the month...should...
Seu vídeo é muito bem detalhado e divertido. Parabéns, um forte abraço!
Great job your video its educational n creative. Plus you have a great personality n professional perspective. Thankyou
Wow! That's nice Christopher, thanks!
Wow! Awesome work I love how you make your blue prints, I always wanted a low profile trailer like this, one day I’ll make my own just like it! 👍
Thanks! Hope you'll make your own one day Siqi! 👍👍👍
I love it , you are very talented my friend . I’ve been wanting to build a trailer myself but now looking at you , who knows I might try it God bless you for sharing Great job amen.
It's my pleasure sir! And thanks! 👍
Single axle trailers work great for small cars. Especially if it’s balanced you can’t beat it! However that frame is waaaay heavier than necessary! You do you but .120 wall tube would have been plenty.
Came here hoping I’m not the only one that noticed how beefy he made it
He did say that after he got a "proper" tow vehicle, he was going to lengthen it and add a second axle...so I understand why he made it stronger than needed to begin with.
Nice build! Square closed tubing is forbbiden in my country for trailers...we must use C beams or I beams.
If you was to put the same thickness washers between one line and the frame on each end. Then when your lines are separated by a one washer thickness you know you spot on.👍
I didnt know this string trick. Only measuring for square. Washers trick.. All the better.
@@turboflush I thought you was looking to see if the frame was flat.
@@ronweber4508 Not looking.. But yes both require different tools. One string and other measure tape.
Looking forward to those drawings. I’d like to see if I can do this to my trailers
Just found your channel. Very cool idea on the bagged trailer.
Super vid chum ! 🇨🇦
Merci l'ami! 👍
This video was SO well produced, your personality SO engaging and the workmanship SO good that I just HAD to subscribe. I really enjoyed it!
I thank you SO much my friend and welcome in the club! 😁
Fireball tools will make your life a lot easier!!! Worth the money
One day my friend...one day!
Love these videos I love the part when u we’re on the ladder in between the frame during the flip and you did the “ I almost died laugh” I find myself doing things this way also just makes things a little more fun however I would’ve recommended putting a chain on the side you want up and then using your cherry picker to lift it in one pull.
I have laughed that laugh!
I built mine a little heavier with a dropped and flipped trailer house axle. I did a air bag flip
This video popped up in my suggestions and I loved it. Immediately subscribed! Great content, great entertainment. I think we tend to gravitate towards people who remind us of ourselves, and I found myself laughing at Viny as he talked to himself... I have to believe he would be just as silly if there were no camera. I do the same thing when I am working.
Hey big thanks for your comment Matthew, glad you liked my video ...and yes I m naturally silly 😉
Nice work I've had this same idea just haven't done it yet keep on keeping on man
Thanks man!
Dude!!! You are a bad mama jamma!!! That’s just so cool.,,, it’s smokin hot!!!!
Thanks David
The rope trick is very helpful.
I have enjoyed watching this video and I would like to a copy of the plans also. But I would like to make a suggestion on the tongue of the trailer. When building the tongue for more strength of the tongue instead of welding it in sections like you did in part one may I suggest using one length of tubing to go from hitch to outside of frame back from front to third cross member welding to each one and the outside rail. This will increase the strength of the tongue for the load.
Cool design. I would have taken the easy rout with a half leaf and bags mounted on axel.
I believe this is the first time I've subscribed after only watching one video, well done.
Thanks Edgar! I won't disappoint you...I hope..😅
The KZhead algorithm is most often total crap. Not a fan of anime, zit-popping, aaaand there’s only so many cute cat videos I can stand before I wanna punch someone. But every now and again, a true gem shows up- like this video. Subscribed.
....... Granted yes adding a second Axle would increase the load rating of the trailer it also adds to the stability of backing up with the trailer. though they are rare having a two axle short trailer does not actually change the requirements of what you need to tow the trailer based on the load. As long as you don't load the trailer to its full weight capacity(which I doubt you can do on a short trailer) when towing it with the Minivan you'll be just fine.
Tandem axle does not back up easier LOL
I like this but I wonder if the rope trick for squareness is potentially inaccurate because it requires the assumption that the tubes themselves are straight without warp. Or am I overthinking it?
I think the tongue needs a center tubing running from the hitch about 5' back into the trailer attached to a square tubing.
Great video! I'm glad I found your channel. I've always preferred Swedish Element Analysis myself but will have to check out the Finnish version. ;)
Glad you enjoyed...SEA....never heard about it..🤷♂️😅
Found your channel when YT suggested it...probably because the Googles read my mind again and knew i was thinking about getting a trailer. Subscribed...and will probably go back to check out the Smart car, after I get some work done on my truck!
Great! Welcome aboard Jay!
No gussets? Bro, over engineering 101: must have gussets, wherever possible 🤯☕🥓🍳
Great editing and also fab skills. I hope you get that awesome truck someday to pull trailers and get materials! Making do with what you have now though!
Thanks 👍
I enjoyed your video. Excellent job designing the trailer. One issue though is it appears your welds are not full depth penetrating the full thickness of the steel. That will shorten the life of the welds and increase the likelihood of fatigue cracking. Be careful. You don't want a part of the trailer falling off while towing it.
I'm at the 15 min mark and I'm hoping he builds in some pre-camber so that when the trailer/arms/axles/rims/tires flex, that the tire will flatten out rather than go negative. Most straight axles come with a degree or two of pre-bend/arch so that they ride flat with a load.
Wow 👍🏻 unbezahlbar diese Handarbeit... Ingenieur-Kunst
Great 👍Job! I plan on building something similar using torque hub axel stubs and air to only raise and lower the deck. If I can suggest transport trailer lift axel airbag design it may remove a bunch of weight from your project.
Sounds great!
The sudden death laugh is what does it for me
😅👍
To flip a big unit like that use the rotisserie method temp weld a pivot to the rear use your rigger hoist at the back and shop crane on the draw bar jack it to clear the floor and spin easy and SAFE.
Good idea, needed more space to do that, but I'll try to remember it! Safer, but less fun...😅
Enfin un quebecois qui travaille bien ! mechant beau projet !!
Merci Dan! à me on est pas mal de bon bricoleur au QC! Bon j'en connais pas t'en que ça....mais y en a plein d'autre j'en suis sûr! 😅
Finally. Someone actually building a trailer on youtube.
Thanks I guess! 🤷♂️👍
Sicken axle 🤣👍 2:19
Great video man 💯👍
HHHHHHEEEYY RYAN! Thanks man! 👍
@@VinyB57 I all most forgot should off went with 2 axles 😆🤣😂 🤣🤣🤣
@@KnownSender1 Not you too Ryan!!! 🤦♂️😅
@@VinyB57 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💯👍
Nice welding skills joo👌
Thanks Alex ! 👍
Great idea! What is the back up in case of a failure in the bags?
suffer,
Just like a leaf spring failure It hits the deck
“ this is not a racing trailer yet “. Lmao. Overload her and she will be! lmfao. Subscribed 👍🏼
"This is not a racing trailer.... Yet" i went to like the video a second time and was disappointed when i remembered oh you can only like it once
🤣🤣🤣 Such a shame you can't like twice....but thanks for the thought! 👍
@@VinyB57 it would be really cool of you could
Just a thought... Instead of paint, truck bed liner for durability? Just a thought , really like the build. I have a double axel trailer and hate dealing with the ramps for my Bobcat. I don't transport it very often, but I need the suspension to be able to carry the weight. But when I'm moving lighter stuff the suspension rides like a basketball (bouncing down the road). I thought about converting to air bags to be adjustable for load weights. but thought the time to build vs how often I use the trailer didn't work. But now you laid it out and you did all the design on how it should be done as opposed to trial and error. I like only to do things once, and the correct way. Thanks
Bed liner is a good option! 👍 I went with the easy, don't have much time wasting on it wanna go racing methode😅 For the bounciness, you could add shocks...maybe that could solve it, but I never tried it on a std axle 🤷♂️
The second axle is so you aren't screwed when a tire blows, particularly if you are going to be towing with something lightweight. Lighter trailers are nicer to live with, though.
Ummm.. spare tire?
@@ReduxGarage tire blowout with a car on it. Not fun. Extra tire make it stable if you have a blowout on the freeway.
Dual axle trailer is also great for stability
I agree!
Glad I found this channel! Here from Austin Coulson's channel!
Glad you found me! And about Austin...He's such a genuialy good guy! He showed me so much support, it just blows my mind! 🤯
A little toe in is a good thing. 1/8 "
first time watching your channel, you got yourself a new subscriber
Oh yeah! Thanks!
My suggestion. Get rid of the string. Go buy a cheap line laser. You can level it. Also use it to get center line as well as align up the pivot points with great accuracy. It's much faster.
Yes and no, with the strings, I only have to level one side, compare to the laser, I 'll have to level all 4 corners, right?...faster, not sure...but you are 100% right, that I shoud upgrade my tooling arsenal with a laser...makes no sens, been building a lot of things and I don't have one 🤦♂
You wouldn’t here anything about Saul axle in Puerto Rico. They use single axle units predominantly
Good video. We built a single axle recycling dump trailer that hauls 6000lbs. It’s a 7000lb 8 lug axle and it works great. Frame strength and axle placement are however very important if building a heavy duty single.
I agree 100% with you man!
Subbing simply cos the music epically fits the humourous elements of the videos especially the flip lol
Thanks man! glad you appreciate those details, I really work hard to get you good content! 👍
Great example of what you can do in a small workshop! BTW, you probably mean 'finite element analysis' (FEA).
oH SHOOOT! Yep..finite..🤦♂️ Thanks to point it out! 👍😅
Oh, I consider the comment section the interactive part of all this. While you at it and you didnt ask but just let me say this. Go buy some quality, heavy duty shocks. Even air shocks maybe. Go ahead and fab in mounting points for the shocks. Carry the shocks with you in the tongues toolbox. Along with a nice fat bottle jack. In case of air bag failure or air supply failure you can just bolt in the shocks right quick and carry on with your mission. A plans are good. They aint worth a shit though if you dont plan for plan B and plan C. God bless and enjoy life my friend.
It’s a non issue. Airbag failures are almost unheard of in the trucking industry, and they are ALL rear air suspension the last several decades. If they would fail, that’s where they would. And they just don’t.
@@moparproud3978 almost unheard of. Unless someone overloads the trailer and blows out the bag, or the older bags that are horribly weather cracked
@@MrJamestheredneck Nope. Try again pal. Overloads the trailer🤣 Guess how I know you’ve never driven truck? And weatherchecked. Again, guess how I know
@@moparproud3978 well explain to me how I made 3 grand last month on air bag failures and replacements working on trailers then
@@MrJamestheredneck You didn’t.
Brought here by YubTub algorithm. I'm not disappointed. Great video, great work. I can't wait to go back and see your other video series.
Thank you very much! Still thinking about new series...I may start phase 2 on the smart! (roll cage, lighter componantes, differential...)
@@VinyB57 I'm just now watching the Smartabusa videos. The fab work is amazing. I binged most of them in a single day. If your just want to finish the car, then I would say go ahead. If you're looking for more views, I would recommend finding a new project. The algorithm likes new material.
"This is not a racing trailer--------yet" LOL!
Very good creations you have. Could you let me know the plasma cutter system you are using?
HI, I bought an Everlast plasma cutter. They dont make that model anymore, but it will be the similar as their new 62i
interesting with the rope trick. to match the rails on a frame I built on saw horses. I shimmed the frame away from the horses using a level to make the rails level to earth on all sides. TRUST THE BUBBLE . THE BUBBLE KNOWS ALL.
All right, all right! I prefer the rope method....but I'm ok with the bubble too...I'm just to leazy.... heee...efficient to shim all my saw horses...😅
I want to do this to my camper trailer
What paint did you use? Is it pretty sturdy and thick paint?
I've only watched 2.5 minutes of the first video and I already went to Viny's Etsy store and purchased the plans lol
thanks Jon! 👍
What size of tube you using?
Just a word of advice from a welder. Leave a gap between the parts you are using to extend the frame rails. Complete penetration matters more, especially if you are grinding off the cap of the weld.
100% with you!
What type of mig welder are you using it sounds good burns hot.
Lincoln mig pak 180...at max level! it's a charm! 👌
Not sure how I found your video, but Sir, you are an ephwurding bad ass! I love it! Say hello to your newest subscriber!
HELLO!!!!! Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
This is a great project and the plans will be great to have. But a lot of us don't have a milling machine or lathe or plasma table. What are your suggestions to build this without all those machines?
Well...that's a good one, first, you can go to a local shop and have it cut for you, for big bashes of laser parts, that's what I do even if I've got a plasma CNC cutter. Simpler and faster. The swing arms will also be in a tube version, so easier to fabricate. Finally, you'll need at least a press drill (kinda big one), some hole saws and good grinder and a lot a patiente and should good to go! It's a medium-hard project, specialy the suspensin, so it's no beginner project.
@@VinyB57 Thanks Viny, the question I asked was for the average guy. My self I have a drill press and assorted power tools, even a hand plasma cutter. The question is can this be fabricated with parts without using a lathe. Living in a rural area as I do there are not machine shops easily accessible. Standard steel shafts and bearings are available at some air conditioning supply houses. Yes the swing arm tube version will be easier to fabricate. If designed with "off the shelf" parts and hardware more people could build this. I love the concept and have subscribed to your channel. Have a great day.
Je viens d'arriver sur cette chaine parce que la vidéo est intéressante et je me rend compte que tu parle français quelle plaisir
Et oui! Je speak le french! 😅
First time watching a video bro, these are amazing videos😂
Thanks D Savage! 👍
Thanks
Hey I have a idea in case of emergency let the airbag deflate so it can drop and stop by itself with brake assist or install some rubber stoppers I’m just saying
Excellent video. Subscribed & liked.
Thanks for the sub!
600 lbs? Im interested in seeing your trailer brake system and the type of tire you use as that will be a significant part of towing capacity. Meet in the middle. Two axles? Lol. Think about this. Dually set up for wheels and tires. That'll get them.
👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Like 👍
Finaly his back....Viny at last your canal its getting new subscribers... you are worth it! Too bad you living in Canada or me in Sweden, I realy would like to meat you... And Hey, great job so far!
By the way of course its a racingtrailer, you can make it low so it handels better in the cornering a strait!
Hi Vinny B, How this are the frame tubes? Im not seeing and option on the plans page for US dollar. Maybe i just missed it.?
You should check out mega square from fireball tool.
je trouve ca super et le tien est très bien réalisé, en tout cas pour ce qui est le début 😅, cela dit, moi qui a envie de m'en faire un plus tard, ca peu déjà me donner une idée a ce qui m'attend. ps: jsuis du quebec aussi :)
That all being said that trailer will last forever using that engineered steele tubing.
-this is not a racing trailer- -- yet. Subscribed
beau travail mais t'aurais du mettre un primer avant ta peinture et pour etre certains de le mettre droit au lieu d'utilisé des cordes tu aurais pus utiliser 2 trétau au lieu de 4 et les mettre au niveau tou simplement ,pour les travers j'aurais pris du fer angle a place pour sauver sur le poid, sinon perce les au extremité car la condensation va les faire pourrir par l'intérieur tu serais surpris de voir la quantité d'eau qui se fais a l'intérieur.
It don’t matter what you tow with or how big the trailer is dual axle trailers provide far better stability at highway speeds, better weight distribution on trailer, and tongue weight, safer in the event of a blow out, better grip and stopping ability, tend to backup better as they tend to follow the tow vehicle better while backing up. Only thing a single has over a dual is they can be better at maneuvering in tight spots
Yes and no, depending on the weight of the item being towed. The extra weight from the added length and the 2nd axle could be enough to put you over your vehicles towing capacity.
Would I be able to make this trailer wider if needed? The dimensions aren’t big enough for my car. As in, would it effect the integrity of the trailer?
How wide is you car? Mine is 72'' (1828mm) and it fits with about an inch loose on each sides
@@VinyB57 it’s 76” wide (C6 z06). I bought your plans, but I just realized the trailer is 72” wide. I’m hoping I can just widen it and use the plans for the other dimensions. I love the design.
