The Homestud Tool Trailer Tour

Показать описание

I've been asked countless times to give a tool trailer tour and it's finally done. It's not perfect and likely never will be, but it is extremely efficient for what I do. Instead of focusing on what tools I own, this tool trailer setup focuses on how I store and organize my tools and parts. A tool trailer may not be the ideal setup for everyone, but for me working primarily on single family homes in residential neighborhoods, it's perfect.

Tool trailers get messy and disorganized. They become storage for everything in the "I'll use that later" category. However, I also find those are perfect opportunities to refine and improve the storage systems. It may not be perfect now, but my tool trailer is always getting just a little bit closer.

My tools (though very few have been used in this project yet!):

I just got a 5x10 trailer and was looking for great ideas like yours. Thank you! You probably inspired a lot more people than you thought 🤙🏻

That is an awesomely organized trailer. I'm going to borrow some of your ideas. I've seen several very good videos related to this. But yours closely resembles what I need

Awesome job bud. I wish I had your vision about arranging a space rationally. If you want to work together, on line or in real on setting up my newly designed work truck let me know.

I’m working on designing my jobsite trailer that I will be buying in a couple weeks. I’ll be going with either 7x14 or 7x16. I was curious how you liked the 6’6” height? I can get 7’ height for $400 more, just not sure if it’s necessary. Also curious if you ever wish you had either an open spot on the wall or a wider center aisle so you could haul appliances or something larger like that if you needed to. Thanks for the great video and ideas!

Building a trailer and being an electrician is not the same as being a carpenter. I can make a decent box. Even did a very nice box enclosure with a deep pull out drawer to conceal my tools in my Honda Odyssey work truck. Later had to rebuild it with long expensive slides due to the considerable weight.

But now it’s time for a trailer and everyone has either a way cool complicated cabinet setup or a too basic but effective setup with large bins for storage, but that seemed too specific for maybe framing or something that is the daily job thing.
Everyday I’m doing something different.
Your set up includes the workbench, cubby’s for organizing, and so forth, plus electrical. Shelving for specific tasks. A still achievable build for a non carpenter with the tools but not so much developed skill set.

Having to somehow hopefully incorporate a sliding miter saw, and table saw is desired, but it’s not practical.

But your setup appears to be an achievable possibility to kick off with.
My trailer is 10x6 and looks to be the same general door arrangement.

I saw in a comment that this is history, so I will assume you have a different design for whatever’s more current.
Cool idea though.
A radial arm saw is an odd thing to see in this era

Neat build! I was going through my YouTube analytics and saw that people find my videos through your videos. I like the built in toolbox. Keep up the good work!

you might want to consider putting some wax or Dove soap on the side of your bottom edges of your slide out drawers before you get tennis elbow or pull your shoulder out or perhaps carpal tunnel syndrome
