Trailer extension!
What happens here
Measure and cut a final piece of steel stock to create a crossbar that spans the front end of the newly extended trailer frame. This crossbar will provide additional rigidity and a mounting point for the end of longer materials. Weld this crossbar securely to the main extension beams using the MIG welder. After all welding is complete, visually inspect all welds for strength and completeness. The video shows the completed metal frame extension. The creator states that it's ready to go to the hardware store for lumber and metal to finish his garage build.
Goal: Complete the metal framework of the trailer extension and prepare for use.
