No such thing as can’t.
have used weld all rods for small cast repairs - which turned ok. Once on a pulley and another on a stove handle that was broken in 2.

Can’t say I have seen them put on angle. but can’t really see any thing wrong with it - but would u would need to weld along both the bottom and top of the angle Also could possibly affect the...

Put bucket on top = oil change stand. But I don’t have a hoist…

You have come a long way with it. I always find the 3rd dimension hard to get 100 % correct i.e out of square. I save the fluxcore stuff for when I run out out of gas. It’s ok but some fellas just...

In the past have found the spring hanger we’re not in the right spot when originally built. Just check the lengths from middle of the hitch( need to be the same). I think you have come this far and...

Hi there I reread and looked as the pics again - the way I was looking at it was to weld the angle on top of existing angle that supports the cross members. But I don’t think that will work. if kept...

On the rusty section if you are able to replace the whole section, then do that.
I think you might be better off welding angle in where the bottom 80mm was cut out.I would use maybe 50 x 50 mm...

Keep up the pics. I looked into building an 8 x6 box trailer,but figured better off buying one with the rego issues and the amount of time to build. If you can let us know how you go with the rego.

Is the first pic gal at all - I find even if grinding off it ends up in ordinary looking welds

So you heat and bend around the former. Does the sand stop the kinking so you get a smooth curve?

You tubers seems to make a dolly to suit the shs, but have a rod tacked in the inside curve of the dolly. I think this sort of controls the kink.
Now thinking to cut the rear legs at seat height,...

Hi forum - looking at making some square bottom kitchen stools using 30mm or 35mm shs, Was going to incorporate a back for them by making the rear legs longer, but I need to bend the shs by about 20...

Hi forum - looking a die grinders - can get a cheaper corded version for approx $180 and a expensive version for $450 - does anyone have experience with the cheaper versions.? - nice to have for...

Thanks for the tips tried the 12 p rods and were quite good - able to weld thin dirty material. Did practice on 4mm and good penetration even on lower amps.

Hi forum - can anyone suggest alternatives to satincraft 13 2.5mm rods for welding thin material - from 1.6 to 2mm thick. Was going to try wia 12p 2.5mm - having trouble with mig due to dirty steel...

I reckon a trailer might be the third thing you should never lend.

Had not thought of either of those - had a crate with the pin style you described, but the pin can pop out on dirt roads (so the back up is old dog collar or electrical wire twitched on… - yes I...

Hi folks what is the best form of tailgate fasteners - looking at antiluce (drop bolt style), over centre latches (seem to be popular), basic lever style on cheaper trailers, and ute type side board...

Thanks SW have located that site with plenty of interesting items. But build costs estimate adding up - so far have it circa $2200. The online trailer plans site don’t seem to advertise 8 x 6 plans....

I would upgrade to 50 mm or even 75mm square posts and then use the angle as cross members.
That way the angle will be same size or fit in when butted to the posts. Make posts a tad longer so you...

Ok nothing to lose by welding on - good idea. Not sure if parts available for hitachi grinder - will see how we go

My 9 inch grinder nut won’t come off. Have had the thing in the post vice with stilson on it and I cannot shift it - now seemed to have rounded off the lock button mechanism inside the grinder head!...

There is heaps of big single axle caravans around - not sure if they are any leaf one. Had a look at the vsb and now thinking the extra tare weight of 2 t trailer chassis & suspension will not be...

Long time forum guest here
Trying to design an 8x6 box trailer to build myself with idea of ditching my ute so I can use the trailer on a Pajero - usually for crushed granite, gravel for concreting,...
