I'm not building So, just ✅️
Just the right amount of voice over, no annoying music blasting, great video and sound quality! This has to be my favorite fabrication channel. Please don't change the way you deliver your content.
Your fabrication skills are only matched by your language skills! Great channel, thanks for the vids! 👍👍
I'm loving the green. This is gonna be badass when finished.
Great color for your project.... :)
Honestly, it's kinda nice to see you show the small errors you made, that's honesty and to me that's important. There's no doubt you're a brilliant guy though and my hat is off to you. Well done!!!
It's so great to hear you talk and explain things as you go !! Look how far you have come this is amazing !! It's coming along very well !! Cant wait for your next video !!👍👍
It's always wonderful to watch you create outstanding projects & sometimes still have minor stuff up's that can easily be fixed, covered up so that it looks like it was never there in the first place.
“Do not get a stroke in the comments” hahaha that was awesome man. Scribing with calipers is THE best part about them.
You've built some marvelous creations over the years Donny but this has to be the most complex in design that you have ever done. I have loved this build & your engineering genius is unparalleled by anyone I watch on You Tube. Thanks so much for sharing your incredible skill & talent. Billy J.... Queensland, Australia.
Was headed to bed and got a new vid notification. Guess I don't need that sleep after all. Thanks for the entertainment :)
I can't wait to see this thing in action!! Great job so far! 👍👍
This is the most BADASS trailer ever!
This would have to be one of the best channels on KZhead. Definitely the best fab channel. Cheers from a fellow Fitter and Turner 🇭🇲
Thank you for the kins words.
Your mad building skills aside your ability to know when to use time-lapse and editing makes your channel enjoyable to watch.
In the USA, we call that "Federal Safety Green". Great Job, Donn! I always go "Oooh!" out loud when I see you have a new video. Then I say, "I'm SO There!", as I click you into the Queue! 🚜✅
I have to remember to like these videos. I hate it when creators ask for likes especially at the beginning of a video but I’m starting to realize how much it actually helps me remember to show my support. Awesome work man, I’m going to go on a liking spree to make sure I’ve liked all your videos.
I never understood why certain people get their undies in a twist when someone doesn't use a tool exactly the way they think it should be used. Doing things in an unsafe manner, yes, I may call them out on that, but, using a caliper as a scribe, who cares. They're your tools, treat them how ever you want. I, for one, couldn't care less. Great episode, by the way. Looking forward to your next installment. This build is going to be a tough one to beat.
Can‘t wait to see the next episode! Damn good work! Keep going dude!💪
Aw man kudos to you for the engineering and the persistence it takes to finish something like this!
Nice to see You are using some Polish parts 👍🇵🇱
I love watching you work. Its really cool to see how things like this are made.
Bonjours. Toujours en attente de la suite et en admiration, pour le travail de précision accompli. Hâte de voir la finalité en fonction. Bonne continuation et bonne semaine à vous
Hi Donn, I'm blown away by your great skills. You can do anything, no doubt in my mind. Thanks for the video, take care my friend.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now Donn and all I can say is you are Awesome dude!!!
Thanks man! You must have some serious patience then. 😀
@@DonnDIY naw just like to watch a genius at work 😂
Really enjoy watching your builds.
I look forward to your work and I am never disappointed. Well done mate.
Excellent work as always. This thing is a beast! 💪💪💪
Every time you build greater things! Powerfull!💪
Add this and that and all those things added will no doubt give you many years of service with labor and back saving use with a heavy-duty git-er-done attitude. Nice and stout is the key and that has been done, well done Donn...going to give you 6 out of 5 stars on this build, well all your equipment you build gets those rewards !!!
Thanks, Barton. I do appreciate it.👍 Let's hope it also works as it should.😀
Donn, I tapped the fittings out 1/4-28 and put a set screw in them with a 1/8” hole drilled in them on both sides on my wood splitter lift table and it worked great to slow it down.Sorry I know you guys use the metric system so whatever the equivalent is)
Cheers for the advice!
That'd be ~m6 and ~3.2mm in metric. I think these fittings have a slightly bigger internal diameter, but it's only the size of the drilled hole that matters. They look like BSPP 3/8 fittings, and those have an ID of, you guessed it, 5/16 (8mm) because of course they do.
Хорошая работа 👍
I admire you so much, you create what I love
Continually amazed by your fabrication skills great series 👍
As always, videography, subject, narration, subtitles and humour are off the charts ! Thank you matey ! = )
Bro,I like your CNC laser cutting machine, very clean cut and beautiful.Good job.
I’m very interested to see it all together and working. Great job so far
I love all the clever engineering! Kudos!
Loving the creativity of the build. My father used to say to me “ always add simplification”
I always say to myself while building things - simple is better. Can't act on it all the time though.🤔
@@DonnDIY ha, ha! I always like led the off idea of adding simplicity. In truth it’s hard to come up with clever ideas on demand, you do better than many.
Great craftsmanship, such a joy to watch! 👍🏻
Cheers! I enjoyed the build.
Enjoying watching your builds of logging equipment as was my thing to work at
Just good content without drama. Thank you.
Such a joy to watch! great work
WOW..what a contraption. That sure is a lot of work to get a wagon of logs out of the forest. We just skid the logs using a horse. Less destructive and my grandkids love riding the horse.
I'm afraid of horses, they're so unpredictable. Got thrown off when I was a kid. I'll stick to dirtbikes. 😀 When getting thrown off of a dirtbike it will be self-inflicted.
Great to see Mr Chop, he always makes me smile when I see him eating the metal 😂 Another fantastic video thanks for taking the time to share and please keep up the humour and ignore the keyboard engineers
I've been watching your videos for long time now. Like from when you built things like the Mower from the car rear-end. I don't know why people criticize you. It's very apparent in you videos that you know darn well what your doing and your projects are flipping awesome. And quality built.
That mower build was 6 years ago. Damn! Thanks for sticking around for that long!🤘🤘
Looking great Donn!!!!
All I have to say is that I'm jealous... Great stuff 👏 👍
Cheers, man!
Keep up the work love the builds
Hi Donn, great outdoor view, must have some nice weather. So happy for your, we all enjoy the, well #1, your welding.... So have fun, get out and I'll be here for the next video...
Great work Donn
Класс!!! мастер золотые руки.
Really appreciate you talking again, I'm having a hard time reading and watching at the same time. Awesome build man, can't wait to see it in action. Cheers from Sweden.
I saw those calipers several videos ago. Never seen scribing calipers. I was thinking, well...those WERE some nice calipers! LOL
They are, love'em!
Pure genius man. Thank you.
Mahtavaa tekemistä👍
Excellent engineering!
It is great to see how you work and get things done, see you in the next episode...
Can't wait to see the finished product !!
Great video Don, this is going to be awesome when done...
Great video. Incredible fabrication. Love it.
Thanks for watching!
Your channel is my favorite my friend! Awesome builds, awesome videos, and awesome kickflips! 👍
Gran trabajo, Felicitaciones! Un saludo desde Mendoza Argentina 🇦🇷
Hah, like a glove. Great job again Donn, you're moving right along. Did you run out of Orange Paint? I like the green too but you can loose it in the weeds. Can't wait to see it operating in the woods. Stay safe and keep up the fun. Fred.
I am very impressed with this project, I have always wanted a timber trailer like you are building. Great job.
Let's hope it'll function as planned.🤞
The jerky motion is caused by air in the hydraulic system, bleed out all air and it will smoothe out the movement. Also make sure the inner diameter of all your hydraulic lines is the same throughout the system as changes to this can change the pressure applied to the cylinders.
Country Green looks good Ole Donnieboy
Cheers man!
Great as always
"Please don't have a stroke in the comment section." Made my day, thanks for a good laugh Mr. Donn. Great job as always!
You're father or grandfather must be proud of you and your skills ceep up the grate work
It’s getting so close I can’t wait!
awesome vid!
Love your vids Donn!
Awesome as always
Talented and a little humor, what's not to like.
Good stuff 👍.
Finally the video has arrived. greetings from Turkey . God bless your hands
Such a pleasure to watch, keep up the good work Donn. And l love your sense of humour.
Thanks man!
Save I'm loving your vídeos I always watch

Dang Skippy that's going to be a pretty neat trailer when you're done with it I love it
Ты не устаёшь меня удивлять 🔥👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻
Great video
Once again Donn Another entertaining video! Always a good day when your videos pop up. Cheers from Sydney Australia MATE 🇭🇲👍🦘🇪🇪🦘👍🇭🇲
Дело МАСТЕРА боится!!!
Thanks for sharing 👍😀
Thanks for watching!
teflon tape hyd. fittings for final asemmbly, it will make it much easier to change a hose, might I also suggest, spring load the sprocket for chain tensioner, maybe even a load leveling air bag for pickup truck...never hurts to have air compressor onboard when working in the bush :)
Excelente trabajo maestro 👏 👍 una joyita un gran abrazo desde Argentina 👍
On the motorcycle jack remove the handle for raising & lowering the lift. Weld a socket to that screw, then use a cordless impact wrench to raise or lower the jack. I used a 1/2 inch socket, and I use a universal joint between the socket & wrench incase the wrench (or socket) isn't perfectly aligned. Otherwise, it works great! I use my little screw jack for removing transmissions & servicing lawn tractors, so this has been tested under load.
👍👍👍👍 vraiment très beau travail 😁👍
Espectacular!!!
great job!!!!!
you are awesome, can't wait to see the finished product, i cant get my head wrapped around how the chain adjust is going to work though, hurry up a post more videos please, lol
Chain tensioner just pushes down on the chain on the slack section right after the top drive sprocket so there's little stress on it while driving forward. However, I have to look out while reversing under load, might be too much force to handle, but it also might be okay. I have no idea.😀
Siempre se hacen cortos los videos, se esperan con ansias uno nuevo, un gran saludo, felicitaciones desde Chile
Brilliant video thank you 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pls next episode ! NICE JOB MAN
