Budget Harbor Freight Overland Trailer Episode 5 DIY Tube Fenders!
Рет қаралды 160,518
Today we are getting back to the Budget Harbor Freight overland trailer!
The next step is a set of DIY tube fenders that need to be super durable. These took a ton of time to get right but I really like the way they turned out! I think they added a lot of character to this trailer and will be a very important tool on the trail. What do you think? Do you like tube fenders or are my tastes starting to become a little dated? lol
Slowly but surely, we are marching forward to a completed trailer!

Family first! Never apologize to anyone for spending time with family. Great job with filling the whole on the fender. When I first started ironworking, in order for me to do fabrication and welding I had to take 1" thick plate steel,cut a minimum of a 1" diameter hole with a torch and then fill the hole with only weld no filler material just to be allowed to weld anything our company put our quality of service guarantee on. Filling a 1" hole without burning out more material and properly filling it challenged my skills completely and the confidence it gave me doing it first try without a single mistake, it had launched me far in the company very quickly. What took 25 years plus to learn and perfect for generations I was able to do I 5. Mistakes like that, in the world of fabrication are comparable to Bob Ross saying it's a happy accident. By that I mean the skills you gain fixing the mistake far out way the mistake in the first place. As long as a weld can be rooted a whole can get filled. Patience and deliberate thought out steps.. Excellent work!

Don’t ever feel the need to apologize for having your family come first. Work life balance is huge and when you have little kids it’s especially important to spend time with them since they will have those memories for the rest of their lives. Can’t wait for more on the project but make sure to enjoy the little guy being 4. Enjoy!

Good to go on the diamond plate! I had to repair a hole/notch cut out of the hood side on my Willys CJ2A, that included hand forming part of the logo into the repair panel. You can not tell from the outside and only barely from the inside. I was once told "It is not about never making a mistake, it's about how you fix your mistakes".

For filling holes I keep a piece of copper bar handy. Clamp or just literally hold it behind the hole to create a bottom, then use the mig gun to fill the hole. The weld sticks to the surrounding steel, but not the copper.

Thanks for another fine video. I appreciate your choice and volume of both music and narration - well done. Kudos for using the knee pads to protect your knees. All the rest of the younger fabricators out there take note please. Take care of your knees now so you can still walk when you're an oldster like me, watching the next shift create their rigs. Stay well sir.
@danielbirnie3029 2 жыл бұрын
Love your work! I'm one of those that geek out about fabrication videos and yours are some of the best. Welders tip though for a quick fix when you blow a hole, use a piece of brass or copper on the opposite side of your weld. So in this case, if you put the brass or copper on the top side of the fender and weld under, it'll leave a nice flat area that just needs a small touch up from a flappy wheel. The weld will not stick to the brass or copper. If you don't have any readily available, an old welding cone, or tip also does the trick! Thanks for the great content!

For your diamond plate hole repair, try taking a chunk of brass and holding that or clamping that to the back side and plug weld the hole. Weld won't stick to it and you can remove the brass from the back side and just clean up the surfaces.

I loved the video. Want to try a true fabricator’s dream (nightmare)? Try keeping a 1993 LR Defender 90 both road worthy and trail worthy. We just completed a 600 mile road trip to complete a 4-day overland adventure on the Canyonlands National Park White Rim Road. As a LR aficionado you will appreciate the 4-speed manual transmission, manual transfer case and the 200Tdi diesel engine. No AC either, not that we needed it in November. Love the tube fenders on the trailer. They look pretty bullet-proof from most horizontal load directions. An impact load force from below while off-camber with a 45-degree upward front to back shearing force?
