HOMEMADE HINGES – WELDING

This video shows how to make a hinge from a pipe and rod. NOTE: this is a welding project, so you must know how to weld in order to make this. This particular project show how to make a hinge for a trailer ramp. HOWEVER, this hinge can be used for most any other metal that requires one. BTW: Great for smoker and grill doors!

  • When you lowered the ramp, I recognized the sound of trapped slag inside the ramp tubes.

    Great video!

  • Thanks for taking the time to show us. great video, what is not to like here?

  • Perfect instructions for me to make my own hinges with my everlast welder.

  • Very good clip! What is the size of your ramp square tubing? 14g - 1"x1" ? ,it looks to me. The reason is I have to make a ramp first. Then hinges like yours, thank you ...PK...North Texas

  • Made/installed these yesterday 26 Jan. 2020, they came out great!!! I have a 4'x8' single axle trailer, the ramp I made is 4'x4'. Rod I used: 1/2" O.D. & tube 5/8" I.D., thanks for the inspiration to attempt.

  • Thanks for the video, I have been needing to attach a trailer gate, and this video explains the procedure perfectly.
