Lot more than I work with. A shovel and a plumb bob and tape meeasure. I used RR ties under 2 40 ft containers then pre made trusses between them for the shop. Open on one side back is closed.
Jake you are having so much fun ... even set yourself a little balancing challenge to add interest ... you must wake up in the morning and say ... Nah I will just hire myself ... that should work. What fun ... off to Part 2. Thanks.
Hello Jake, when I saw the video, I first thought how crazy the man was with these horizontal concrete beams. But then I read your text and was reassured. I find this idea very interesting and will continue to look forward to your construction progress. Greetings from Berlin
Lol, You've got great instincts Hans, that was my first thought as well when I first hatched the plan. My second thought was how I was going to untangle the mess and fix it :-) I'm nearly completely confident that It will be just fine although a small part of that confidence comes from already having a couple different options for replacing it should it fail.
Really enjoying everything you got going on. What state are you in? You seem to get a lot of rain, but I don’t think you’re in the NW but I’ve been wrong before. Also, where in the world did you find that concrete mixer, that looks like it holds at least 9 cu. Anyway , keep up the good work with the container garage and the bridge and the videos. I feel like your channel will grow quickly. Thank you fort the entertainment. Take care. I’m a new sub now.
Hey thanks for all that and the sub too! I am in the PNW, west of Portland out in the Coast range. That old mixer was a craigslist score and I had to take a ferry out to Vashon Island, to winch it out of the berry bushes onto my trailer. It was pretty dilapidated when I got it and I had to rebuild the entire chassis which I did but I saved everything else from the running gear to the barrel to all the castings. it’s got new bearings everywhere in it and a brand new 9 hp gear reduction engine. It’s definitely big but not 9cu big, it will mix 8/60 pound bags without making a mess. Anything more than that and it splashes out. Anyway, thanks again and happy new year!
@@ShredPile hey Jake, thanks for replying. I guess I was wrong about the area. Well, you did an excellent job on rebuilding that mixer it looks almost new. Will be looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great job 🤘 take care.
I am not 100% convinced that the sheer-strength of those six bolts on the angle bracket can support the weight of the header. Better to be safe.... than sorry. Maybe add another flat plate on each side of the angle and some more bolts and weld some cross-bracing from the angle plate to those proposed plates.
Thanks for the concern, There is a full description of the connection now in the description. The header is only 7k pounds. the bolts are 7/8x6. Think of it this way, if it was a structural steel connection that also used bolts in a shear condition it would use a pair of 3/4" bolts and no one would think anything of it.
No high tension cables in that kind of concrete? The blocks you used for the arch, I was referring to. Going to be a cool project. New subscriber here.
Thanks for the comment, There's full length verts in the blocks used as posts and the horizontal has a full cage #4-10x full length with #3 hoops @24"oc.
Covered space and flat ground are both at a premium in my neck of the woods, elevating the containers allowed me to squeeze a little more out of the hill as well as providing a parking or work area underneath. There's always a project that needs to be able to get torn apart and sit while you wait for parts that just clog up the main work area in the shed. Its more than likely the smaller container will get drug outside and placed next off to the left to carry the lower edge of the roof I have planned. Project for another day....
Hey thanks for watching, I'm in the coast range of NW Oregon. The project is primarily to create dry space which is always at a premium out here. One of the upper containers will be for some machine tools that need conditioned space and the other for dry storage for materials. The space created underneath for now will make a nice place to put the dozer in the winter so I don't need to clear it off every time the road needs cleared:-) There is currently a plan cogitating for a larger roof structure over all of it which would see the smaller container underneath get moved out to gain even more room. Stay tuned!
Ok iv got questions. Going to sub first and only ask one or two at a time so the algorithm works in your favor. How many Franklin's did you have to throw at the plant to make a block that long. Looks 12' 8klb. Studs nonetheless.
Thanks for the sub brother, ask away. The 12’ were $145 and are 7k# +/-. The local plant doesn’t stock them, but they do have the forms for them so they make them if you ask. They’re pretty heavy for them to move around. I left a better explanation of them in the description of the video. Thanks for watching!
Yup, a lot of my place was built with waste or spill blocks of pretty low quality. The forms were beat up and a lot of them were poured backwards so fit up just sucked. The yard where i'm getting them now is a pretty high producing yard and a lot of the blocks come out of reject loads from fancy commercial projects. Their forms are pretty new and they take pride in turning out quality stuff.@@lordofthebugs
add metal structures to increase the load of concrete blocks.. you need to calculate the mass of the blocks and the entire roof structure. Make additional reinforcements@@ShredPile
superb content. Really enjoyed it!
OK I am in. Gotta see how this thing turns out. Man has a fortune in equipment and a vision to build for the ages. Awesome video sir.
Thanks for sticking around, Hopefully the content coming up after part two will keep you here too.

Stoked you found it all:-)
Hard to beat a one show. Great content.
All I want for Christmas is to be able to hook and unhook a chain like that! Visually simple yet very tricky in practice. 👍
Haha, check your stocking!
I could fill another video with the times I couldn’t and just wouldn’t let it go :-)
You are one very skilled telehandler operator I really admire your skill.
Hey thanks man, I appreciate that.
Always nice to watch you think

Awesome Job!!
This was great. Can't wait for the rest of the build to come together.
you must be a relative to Andrew Camarata.. Damn nice job . you got my sub
Thanks Ed! No but in an odd twist of things I believe AC and I share a birthday:-)

Great video
Seems quite interesting, let's see where this goes...
Subbed!

👍👍👍
Much appreciated, please stay tuned:-)
Love the video please make more I subbed and liked. This is going to be a great channel I feel it. 😊
I appreciate every bit of that, thank you.
lots of cool machines

Awesome! Would like to build something like this in the future and I got a few ideas from this video. Subscribed
I appreciate that. There's a lot of fun projects already in the can so to speak and heaps more on the list.
Comment for support!
Fantastic! You have really helped get me over the first hurdles. Much appreciated.
Again, awesome work Jake. I watched episode 2 first. Is this going to be a woodworking shop?
What inspired you to elevate the shop?
Covered space and flat ground are both at a premium in my neck of the woods, elevating the containers allowed me to squeeze a little more out of the hill as well as providing a parking or work area underneath.

amazing skill
one man building machine .
Stay tuned!
so impressive
I’m83 yrs old and have a memory like a sieve, but this feels familiar!!!
Did you maybe come here from part 2? :-) Or does it feel like one of the Apollo launch pads?
Hi just found your channel 👍where are you? What the reason for your yard/compound?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

Thats interesting. I've used a lot of waste blocks, but theyve all been 6' smoothies. I'll have to ask around about a long version.

Something tells me you have moved 1 or 2 of those blocks before
Hi Jake, THIS is BJ , I'v got steel plates for you, neet video
Good to see you on here friend, I'll catch up with you soon :-)
how much did you pay for the blocks?
$145 each for the 12'
6' and under are all $80 each
6' are 3500#+/-
12' are 7000#+/-
thanks for the info, great vids.
