Custom Contractor Trailer Walkthrough - 361

hey folks how you doing hopefully you're all having a great day today this is part three the final installment of the contractor trailer the the rolling contractor toolbox series part one was covering the sketchup design part two covered the cutting and assembly and then this is part three which is going to be a walkthrough of about a month after cutting an assembly it finally roadworthy it finally ready for its maiden voyage it's made in job a couple things to note here uh number one this was shot on a very very cold and windy windy day so i kind of cut it short but you can get an idea of all the stuff that's in there there's some little cubbies and and and storage solutions everywhere in this trailer he's really maximized every little nook and cranny of storage and completely tailored it to his specific needs so hopefully you can get some ideas out of this if anybody's interested in the sketchup file or the cnc files whether you want to build this yourself or whether you just want to use that for research purposes i have that for sale on the website so without further ado let's go to the walkthrough of the trailer and here is the finished trailer well the the job ready trailer of course it's going to be tweaks as they go got some stuff mounted to the back of the doors not a lot because i ended up putting some stuff real close to the end but a few things mounted up on the doors and this left hand side back off behind all this is plywood storage and that's just for it's it's got the capacity for a full sheet but those are all off cuts so if you go to a job and you have 10 15 sheets or whatever they'll sit in the aisle to get to the job but if you have let's just say three quarters of a sheet of plywood left over well no sense in throwing that away so there's a big uh section back there for plywood storage and it's it's only six eight inches wide back there these are the i think the some jaw horse type of uh saw horses is that what they're called rockwell i think those are the rockwell jaw horses centipede saw horses up top which he recently got and loves and a retractable cord reel up here by the light all of this left hand side is for bulkier items there's this area right here for eight foot long storage for um scrap wood and such it goes all the way back then there's these cutouts that not only reduce weight but allow you to kind of push and sift through all these off cuts for what he does this is very important it was very very important to have these two cubbies here this one and then this one for uh off cuts and scrap wood and all that all that stuff this is an eight foot walk board it goes all the way down it slides out when when it's uh when it's needed up top we've got some more cubbies over here some shelves basically and again more of these cutouts simply to reduce weight not much at all this area down here is for tables and larger items uh that are like the bottom pan of a tile saw i think is in there as well and with this piece of plywood removed this is just a uh this is actually not mistaken what he uses on those two holes right there and there as a ramp uh to get in and out but you remove that and there's a bunch of these cutouts as well very similar to this up there to reduce weight and some various other uh storage down here so this is different this is this shelving system right here is not part of the original design i'm seeing this for the first time as i'm recording this so as he started putting stuff in here he realized this would probably be better with some shelving rather than i think we had a miter saw and a table saw or something right here so this is just proof that the designs always change and they flow or whatever it's okay to not get it 100 right off the bat so some shelving system for screw buckets and such which he said he had a bunch of those so that makes sense and then these pieces of aluminum here i recorded i recorded him taking them off i'll just stitch this in but these pieces of aluminum are for the drawers to kind of lock them in place and that was just kind of the the quick and easy solution to get all the drawers locked in as they're rolling down the road so if i back up and come to this right side i got all the chargers up top for the batteries uh lights up top a little workbench area this is uh some curly ash that i had and i can see that he's already beaten it up and started using it which is good all these drawers are numbered on the cnc machine and then they went back and added the color to the inside so you can really see them and that's that's something that i'm going to do to all the drawers in my shop going forward and i'm actually going to add the numbers to like my miter saw station that is such an obvious obvious mental help when you have to go find something you just know that a drawer 25 you immediately know where it's at but all these smaller drawers are oops uh no extent no slides at all it's just wood on wood and the drawer front is the drawer stop it extends down and interacts with that runner right there so that stops the door from going back and as you can see i'm at the corner of the drawer this is a 30 inch wide cabinet i'm not mistaken and no racking at all there's some nice uh nice amount of wax on all these and they slide just fine so that's good the larger drawers down here at the bottom 26 and then the bottom three over there over there and over there have full extension slides on them this one uh has two two that's heavy two um slides on either side for some really heavy stuff and there's a tray that slides back and forth for access over there he planned on having this one specifically set up for caulking and anything that resembles caulk so that's going to get heavy anyway so that's pretty cool moving along there is all of these drawers there's so many drawers in here there's well 26 to be exact uh but all kinds of all kinds of storage and that's that's what they need when you got a crew of people out there working up top is cubby dividers and a bunch of dewalt tools he's a dewalt guy over here this empty space on this side is a little triangle shelf that's just kind of utilizing some wasted space in between the side of the cabinet and the um uh this this wall right here so this was a horse trailer so there was a wall or a complete wall right there with no door he cut the door in there to get access to the tack room while you're inside the trailer and this was a small room that's kind of got some ladder and random storage along the walls tile saw stuff that's not used uh stuff that doesn't need to be moved out a lot a cooler uh plug-in cooler and the air compressed air compressor stays in here did you get the eric the air plumbed throughout the whole place yet i haven't done my hair yet i haven't done the air yet so the air is gonna he's gonna have some holding tanks if not mistaken below the trailer tucked up inside and that'll basically stay there and you can plug in outside as needed and then there's another shelf up here some other stuff and you've got storage everywhere in this trailer a little shelf for viewtainers and this is another door so having this be able to access this is still pretty nice that way you know depending on where you are outside you can access it from this side and of course that's a door as well so there's three doors to get into this trailer some more viewtaners over here and uh he did a really good job with adding light into this place he's got a circle dome light right there um a long light two long lights and over there another circle dome light in here and then a shelf all the way along the top the table saw is sitting right there and uh what do we got oh we've got lights on the door that's neat so when you're working outside it's got a light right there and there's one on the back door as well that's pretty handy and this is all wired 110 or 120 rather so you can plug in whenever you get to the job which is what we're doing now another cord wheel and then yeah he's got a box mounted over on the fender to plug in so this is a nice setup a lot a lot of storage and as i was in the back there he put the ramp on so that's nice that's that's a decent step up without it that's it for this build series it was a lot of fun working on this project with ben it was a lot of work but i liked that type of work it was a lot of fun it reminded me of my days at ashley furniture running a four foot by eight foot cnc machine for them that was that was my favorite job of working for somebody else it was a lot of fun doing that uh anyway if you're interested in the cnc files or the sketchup files for this project like i said i have them for sale on my website if you want an entire cost breakdown of this project then i'll have that on my website as well but there's a little asterisk there because uh well if you're interested you'll find out and if you want to stay up to date with everything that i
