I was watching this video trying to work out the logistics of putting up that crane. He still has to spend some money because AFAIK he only has the bridge, end trucks and crane trolly. He needs to obtain (I won't say 'buy' because we know how resourceful he is) the supports and runways. We also know the bridge needs to be shortened, and that's going to be a mission in itself! If it was Andrew Camerata, I'd be worried about it happening without someone get seriously hurt or dead, but I think Matt has a decent safety record.
I've remembered a story. We had some adult apprentices come to our main Fleet Workshop for retraining after they'd been made redundant. One of them - who we will call Ernie because that was his name - was walking in the workshop when a large truck came in and gave the overhead crane a hefty whack. The bridge and trolly set off at a fair old lick with the hook block (which was about waist height) heading straight for Ernie. Instead of moving to the side, he set off like a rabbit in the headlights with the hook block bearing down on him, and didn't stop till the bridge reached its end stops. Even then, the hook block still had enough momentum to have a last lunge at him. The truck fitters were too busy rolling on the ground laughing to help poor Ernie, and he never lived it down. There was another time, on night shift, when someone slipped the hook under the army webbing belt a fitter called 'Black Jack' wore over his overalls, and winched him off the ground. Jack was a total animal, and no one dared to let him down, so they went to the canteen and left him there. The shop foreman found him and let him down, and the lads kept well out of his way for the rest of that shift.

Looks nice Matt. But the biggest challenge will be the the overhead crane. Also I would like to suggest to invest in some lengths of old conveyor belt. If you roll something with tracks in it will protect your nice concrete floor
Spray foam for the ceiling is a great choice. I'm sure you already know this but that stuff gets on everything. Be sure to cover the walls and floor when spaying so all of that nice look doesn't get ruined. Shop looks great!!!
...So you have tin, that is screwed and then glued with foam to construction. No under layer to prevent leakage getting further into construction when water gets past the tin and trust me it will. Hell you wont even know about it until its far too late and whole rafter system is ruined. Only option will be to wreck whole building and build new, so that is the great choice? Even if its closed cell it just collects the water around rafters and rots them away quicker by not letting them dry. How about dont build single use building that is next to impossible to renovate? At this point all you can do is essentially ether add the underlayer plastic you forgot to install or just add boards top of existing roof and put another tin top of it.
@@Hellsong89 i Think that making a condensation / second roof layer Can be done without making such big Rework , I agree in your conclusion on the risk of water damaging the top part of the trusses. And the point that renovation will be very hard with direct application of foam to tin. My suggestion is to but hard massonit /hdf sheets under the boards that the tin Is mounted to ,and fasting them to the roof trusses sides , parallel mounted 2"2" bats, one In middle and one directly beside the truss, on both sides . Note that the 2"2" is screwed to the truss not the" tin carrier" except in the middle, this bat can be sawed free from tin carrier in the future with a saw saw, And refastned with a longer screw into the tin carrier thru the insulation with a insulation washer to spread the load.

Then it will be possible to replace the" tin carrier"/the tin in the future. even adding plastic /( if that's needed then ) or water proofing over the truss upper sides . If spray foam is what he wants hi can have it sprayed on the hdf /massonit undersides. They are textured and quite cours ,and will make a good surface for the foam, to stick to. I would use the "firmer" mineral wool bats Instead of foam ,and screw them in the 2"2 bats ,thru the wood sheets with metal fasting insulation washers. They are impossible to burn they can handle being waterlogged and dry up without collapsing like glass wool does, they dont get moldy they also make a nice sound dampner, think there is a risk that the shop will be quite noisy with all these hard materials.

Hiya Matt, Can I suggest a suggestion? Oh, go on, please? Okay, here goes. You know that red tin that was protection for your order? Put a piece on the inside of each man door. That is, if it will work without hitting the surrounds etc. The red will show where the door is ultra easy in a fire, and red is one of the colours that show up in flames. Plus, it will look cool with the high contrast. But then, it is not my shop, so... It looks wonderful; well done for a great video and build; just two men achieving that much in so short a time is miraculous. Stay safe, Steve...

Very impressed how much work Goes into Making a Shop Especially all being done yourself Everything from ground work to Slab work to Building and External and Internal Work for building.. I also Love watching RR Buildings YT Channel Matt 8:07 @Diesel Creek
I enjoy this build as much as machine builds . I designed and built my shop too. Its funny how we all think pretty much alike. Your shop is killer . Spray foam on the ceiling will work great . It will be tighter than a nuns ninney when your finished . Great job !!!!!
One more thing before you finish--An owl nesting box or two. Instructions are online and of course dictated by the owls which tend to roam your area. They'll help keep down the population of those mice everyone hates. The one on my barn is a plastic 44 gallon drum turned sideways with the entrance hole to the outside of the barn wall. I was lucky enough to have great horned owls nesting in there for a couple of years. They still come around but the barn cats make them too nervous to nest there these days.
Consider running an air duct from floor to ceiling. This will give you direct access to the hottest and coldest levels of the shop. Other things can be plumbed into this duct, such as : Air purification, humidification, heat / cooling, exhaust air out, fresh air in. Useful example : Pull hot air from the top of the shop and blow it down to floor level during winter season, while filtering dust and adding humidity at the same time. Flaps can be opened or closed at floor or ceiling level if you wish to only exhaust from one point. Ceiling fans recirculate air nicely, but you cant do all this^ extra stuff with the air.
Awesome to see a new episode from Matt Diesel Creek. Been to long for me. That said as he likes to say. I agree with Matt on leaving the rafters open. A. Closed it turns into a heat trap in summer with airflow and moisture build up issues unless addictional in / out airflow equipment is add. Adding to final costs. B. Closing it in also increases cost. It does look ok, it isn't an art gallery or Better Homes and Garden stage. It's Matt's dream, not ours. Overall, he's done an absolutely outstanding job of achieving his personal dream and it's been my pleasure tagging along watching it develope. Thanks Matt for the entertainment. God bless.
"The Shop has been taking 110% of my Time" We don't even care... Matt your Shop has been a Pleasure to watch being built, and on top of that, we've all learnt a thing or Three about the Workshop Building process as well
Shops looking awesome Matt! I know it seems like your close to finishing, but you’ll be 2 years into it before you have everything setup the way you want it. I built a 40x40 16’ tall and the build took about a year, and getting everything setup inside took almost another year. So worth it in the end, can’t wait to see the rest of the build!
Personally, I like the videos showing progress as it happens as opposed to dumping a huge video after it's done. Really cool to see how far you've come from the container shop!
The shop is looking mint! Can’t wait for the day you start pulling equipment in to start tearing into it! Been a long journey but you have built a shop to be proud of. Well done
Matt I'm 100% certain you know this, but man you're living the dream having a shop that big. Must feel like you won the lottery, only you earned it. I can't imagine, but someday I hope to.
It must be a very satisfying feeling to use all this equipment that you "Resurrected" yourself, on all these projects. I suppose one could say that you are the modern day Dr. Frankenstein of old equipment. IT'S ALIVE...IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!!
Can't really complain about the footage, this new shop is going to pead to a future of footage for you and the rest of us. I may be speaking for myself but this is just as exciting as watching you restore equipment becaue of what this building will do for you and your needs/future needs. I would rather see you in an organized equipped shop out of the weather than the time it takes you now, this shop will allow you to be more efficient and its convenient for you more so now than your current operation. It's turning out fantastic and its not my shop or project lol.
That wall tin is PLUSH! Suggestion: mount a couple of spotlights where they can add fill for shots, then you can skip lightstands. That's going to be a GREAT work area / studio!
Matt, please put that service truck you bought long ago at the top of your list! What better thing to have to go out and be able to work on things you find away from your new shop of course. Love your channel 😊
I wonder if those metal sheets will amplify noises when working? I'd imagine going with plywood or other soft materials would dampen things. You do have those ridges with extreme angles, so that should help... but I still wonder -- do let us know, please. Aside from that, that shop looks amazing -- I'm jelly. :)
He doesn't have to tell us that. He does it all the time. We know it's not ours but ours to admire by being a subscriber. Yes some smart a%$ is going to say well I don't have to be a subscriber to him and that's right but it's the attitude on how you say it and he'll loose subscribers if he keeps it up.just saying
Sorry but he got a thumbs down for that comment from me. I'm sure if it wasn't for all the subscribers,merch etc this wouldn't have happened as soon as it has. It may not be ours physically,but I'm sure everyone feels that they have a part in it.
First things first , i love the music. I like the open rafters to. Got them in my shop. I went through the same deal with metal work a j channel on my shop. The stuff is great but the job was so big and just like you had to cut around doors and windows and whatever else. Matt when my shop was finally done it was like im so freaking stressed and tired now i need a break and it took me a while before i worked on my first project. When i finally work on the first project i fell in love with shop and still love her. Beats the hell out of the cold, rain,mud, snow and so on. Great job brother man.
Love the new shop and the content that you send out, but the guys from Semi-Supervillains playing the music in front of the shop is awesome. Keep it up!!!
Something I want to point out for people who may want to build or have a pole barn built. More trusses does not mean stronger. If you build a pole barn with 10 foot spacing and you have trusses 10 foot spaced you will have a building the same as a building with 2 foot spacing for the roof trusses. Trusses are built for their application and when you place a truss on top of the pole and the next truss on the next pole you have a load rating for that roof, lets call it 10. Then you place a truss every 2 foot between on the headers now you have a roof with a load rating of 2 per truss over the same span which equals 10. There are builders that will tell you they build using 4 foot truss spacing and 8 foot centers which is fine, yet there are builders who know how to build using longer truss spacing that is far stronger. Sheathing also makes a building stronger. Also roof purling that are laid flat are weaker than purling that are installed vertical. Learn as much as you can before you drop money if you are going to build a home in one of these buildings. I am going with a 10 foot span with 10 foot trusses, vertical purling and full sheathing both inside and outside as well as girts and ceiling boards faced nailed and not shelves as I intend to use blown in celliouse.
Matt you're so meticulous in everything you do. My father would've really liked you for the working man you're. I found your channel when you bought the CAT 977 dozer, I was searching RUclips for earthmoving equipment. My father was a earthmoving contractor, he also was a qualified diesel/petrol mechanic, he had welding skills too and he repaired all his earthmoving machinery himself. He worked hard all his life and made plenty of money doing so. In 1987 he was diagnosed with uncureable Malonoma and passed away in 1990 at 54 yrs of age and I love watching your work and your machine shop looks great 👍🏻. You remind me of my father. Thanks for your video's. ❤❤👍👍🇭🇲
For those who take on a metal siding project similar to this one, a trick of the trade in handling each piece, is to roll into a circle each piece as you handle it, from where it's laying on the ground (or horse's / work platform,) to where you unroll each piece and install as necessary. You'll find it creates great strength / rigidity, so as to prevent the panel from warping / bending of the individual piece. You will also find a single person can handle a single panel to twenty foot lengths no problem.
Your shop is looking fantastic. All of the thought and planning that you have put into this is making all of dreaming come true. Good that it has taken you a year to build, this has allowed you time to make sure that you have it right the first time for your future plans. I am sure that you will happier than a pig in a blanket when you can work in your nice warm well lite shop out of the weather.
You will discover that if a sheet is slightly off plumb, and you should be checking every couple of sheets, there are a couple of tricks to bring them back to plumb while maintaining the all important fit on the ribs. Every builder who hangs metal sheets has figured that out, good builders anyway. Those sheets will move during installation, by now you know that. White is a great call for interior light dispersion.
nice video and really nice shop. I would probably do the same in Terms of layout but id change some stuff. Id start the trim right over the windows and do everything under it with woodsheeting. Then you can easily screw light and medium weight things to the wall and switch the bords out if they get damaged
I like that and is true is my shop not yours 😂😂 because you can take 1or 2 ideas from the comments but no to put it there way is your way but it’s is a good one brother like your videos I see you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Love those sheet metal cutters. Hard to put up metal without them. Congratulations, on the shop getting soooo much closer to finish. When will the crain go in? What a great shop!!!
Can't wait for the concrete to be poured at the other end of the shop and create the 'drive thru' ability of the shop (then you will really be able to cycle through some projects!). Love how you color matched the old container shed to match the Dream Workshop!
I love getting notifications of your videos. I am severely visually impaired from England and enjoy listening to your videos. Also love listening to hell workshop. Gutted I can’t see it but it sounds pretty impressive. Are you going to be running airlines around it?
ya he said he was going to run air in a different vid but now days it seems like most shops are going cordless and just using the air for compressed air cleaning lol
Matt, what got me watching your videos was when I scrolled thru RUclips and found you working on your conex box trusses. That's what hooked me in! Lol I also very much can appreciate how you repurpose everything as I'm 70 years old and come from a time when you didn't waste things and money was tight. Now, we've gone full circle, and your skill set will may teach this generation how to " make do" with what you have! Good job Brother!
Keep up the good work, Matt. You & a new awesome shop will surely mean great videos to come (and comfortable for you and those who help you out). Looking forward to more great content from Diesel Creek.
Thanks for sharing this insightful video Matt. May I make an off-the-wall suggestion for your on-the-wall electrical outlets. If your Electrician has not suggested it please consider installing a GFI-C (or similar) water sensor breaker in each of the lower duplex outlets. Also Leviton and others offer duplex receptacles with built in USB chargers (Leviton T5632-BW-R02-T5632-0BW CHARGER) not affiliated.! I have found these incredibly handy at the oddest times and locations although workbench is most often used location. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Greetings from NE Ohio. Peace brother
I was a little surprised to see you use sheetmetal Instead of sheetrock or chipboard that might have added to the insulation better. Spray foam would have been good for the walls as well as the roof. Maybe the sheet foam was more economical. That sheetmetal is so pretty that it will put everything else to shame that's in your shop. Once you fill that shop with a bunch of brand-new shiny stuff it will look like a factory showroom. If you used flat surfaces on the ceiling and walls you could have somebody come in there and paint murals of famous old machinery on on all the surfaces like the Sistine chapel. 😁😃😆☺️ But of course with a clear coat to make it easy to clean.
Good work takes time, thought and effort. You are probably like me when it comes to building stuff. In your mind you build it and deconstruct it a thousand times before the physical build. That why you know where every stick of wood and nail will go. Love your channel, Matt. You have taught this old dog a few tricks. Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada!
Looking awesome Matt! Going to need protection from the reflections when you're in there welding. Your cutting mistake is one that I'm good at. I measure once, cut 3 times and it's still too short! But really, on some critical measurements I use the 1" mark and have to remember to do the math the right way. And it's easy to be distracted by conversation or that phone we can't live without anymore.
It's been great watching the progress on your dream shop Matt. Myself, amongst others, wish it could have happened quicker/sooner but any construction/build has it's own time and you just have to go with it so I'm happy you're where you are 👍.
Matt remember what I told you about never driving any heavy equipment onto your new floor, because if you do and you crack your floor, then guess what'll happen all the fluid you'll have in your tubing is going to drain out and no more heated floor!
What's the hold up ? Nothing, as far as I can tell. Takes longer doing it right, and the way YOU want it. Your paying the bills, make it your dream, and everyone that would do it different, can. Great looking shop , IMO !!
Walls look great Matt, My shop is spray foamed and walls are white also. Once I had spray foam complete I ended up leaving the ceiling open also, but sprayed everything flat black to cover that ugly yellow tint of the foam. Something to think about and it actually helped brighten the area even more if that makes sense. You can see it in some of my videos I think. Its a very clean look and finishes the upper half very well. Thanks for taking us along on the shop build, doing a great job.
Flat black is a bad "BAD" idea! unless you want to dissipate the busy aspect of the rafters crisscrossing in the background of videoing. that said. I have worked in buildings as an HVAC tech. many-many years. Leave the foam insulation as is. Black seems to negate the distraction of busyness in the background, White ceiling with light fixtures BX conduit J boxes, and ductwork is hidden in Black but let someone move or add anything. It's like stars at night! that will really be distracting in the video background. True the overhead crane will be in the foreground. that will be distracting enough! Leave foam as is My experience once painted Black you can't stop touching it up!
Looking good! 👍😁 I imagine it's already complete, but make sure your spray foam guy puts drop cloths over the nice new sheet metal. It can make a huge mess. Fun video Matt
just have to say, i love the mandolin being played in the intro song. The Semisuper villians NAILED it with this song!! Love it reminds me of my grandfathers Mandolin and how beautiful it is and he was.
Matt, your measuring mistake at the first window, made me feel good. If even you can make a boo-boo like that, I need not chew my nails for similar mistakes (which, by the way, occurs much to frequently in my DIY projects 😯)
A Large Diesel Creek sign would look great centered above those garage doors.
That'd be cool made out of scrap steel or something maybe painted the same colour as Christine
Oh yeah.
Thinking exactly the same 👌🏻
That would be the icing on top of the -workshop- cake!
Was thinking a large DC logo out front below the peak would look sharp
"Some of you may not, but its not your shop." 🤣🤣Those are words to live by right there.
The crane is my most anticipated part of this build. Next would be the organization of the shelves and benches and storage.

Can be done without making such big Rework , I agree in your conclusion on the risk of water damaging the top part of the trusses. And the point that renovation will be very hard with direct application of foam to tin.

So whose credit is it?
Of course, those who watch and like and support the channel.
@@iceblue72wot the credit is due to the person creating the content, but we can and should take some satisfaction in being along for the ride in a way that is impossible in the conventional media space. It’s fun watching creators grow their channels and achieve their goals - and these creators are typically very grateful to their subscribers, as you would expect.
Thank you so much! I couldt do this stuff without you all!
Looks like a dream !!!
Always good to see someone living their dream. Great work!
Some of you may not like that look, but it's not your shop. Wise words. Also, big fan of the exposed rafter look.
That tin really does brighten up the place. Can't wait to see what it looks like after you get it all done
Very impressed how much work Goes into Making a Shop Especially all being done yourself Everything from ground work to Slab work to Building and External and Internal Work for building.. I also Love watching RR Buildings YT Channel Matt 8:07 @Diesel Creek
I enjoy this build as much as machine builds . I designed and built my shop too. Its funny how we all think pretty much alike. Your shop is killer . Spray foam on the ceiling will work great . It will be tighter than a nuns ninney when your finished . Great job !!!!!
One more thing before you finish--An owl nesting box or two. Instructions are online and of course dictated by the owls which tend to roam your area. They'll help keep down the population of those mice everyone hates. The one on my barn is a plastic 44 gallon drum turned sideways with the entrance hole to the outside of the barn wall. I was lucky enough to have great horned owls nesting in there for a couple of years. They still come around but the barn cats make them too nervous to nest there these days.
hello mat i been enjoying your videos for over 2 years now and love u working on heavy equipment and bring them back to work
Glad you like them!
@@DieselCreek I like them
Consider running an air duct from floor to ceiling. This will give you direct access to the hottest and coldest levels of the shop. Other things can be plumbed into this duct, such as : Air purification, humidification, heat / cooling, exhaust air out, fresh air in. Useful example : Pull hot air from the top of the shop and blow it down to floor level during winter season, while filtering dust and adding humidity at the same time. Flaps can be opened or closed at floor or ceiling level if you wish to only exhaust from one point. Ceiling fans recirculate air nicely, but you cant do all this^ extra stuff with the air.
Can't wait to see the overhead crane install
Awesome to see a new episode from Matt Diesel Creek.
Been to long for me.
That said as he likes to say.
I agree with Matt on leaving the rafters open.
A.
Closed it turns into a heat trap in summer with airflow and moisture build up issues unless addictional in / out airflow equipment is add.
Adding to final costs.
B.
Closing it in also increases cost.
It does look ok, it isn't an art gallery or Better Homes and Garden stage.
It's Matt's dream, not ours.
Overall, he's done an absolutely outstanding job of achieving his personal dream and it's been my pleasure tagging along watching it develope.
Thanks Matt for the entertainment.
God bless.
Really pleased for you Matt - looks fantastic
"The Shop has been taking 110% of my Time"
We don't even care... Matt your Shop has been a Pleasure to watch being built, and on top of that, we've all learnt a thing or Three about the Workshop Building process as well
Literally I was thinking if this channel had a new video to watch and a few moments later we have a new video!! Perfect 👌
Hope you enjoyed it!
One of the few channel intros I don't skip. Supervillains 👍
Shops looking awesome Matt! I know it seems like your close to finishing, but you’ll be 2 years into it before you have everything setup the way you want it. I built a 40x40 16’ tall and the build took about a year, and getting everything setup inside took almost another year. So worth it in the end, can’t wait to see the rest of the build!
Love the Semi Super Villans Music there are so Good Very relaxing Music thanks for Always Including there music in the videos Matt 0:02 @Diesel Creek
Glad you like them!
@@DieselCreek hope your week is going well Matt
Looks great Matt and to do both walls in just 26 minutes is mind blowing LOL
But it made it brighter in there with the white panels 👍👍
It does!
26 minutes 😆
"It's not your shop." Damn straight Matt. It's yours and your build. Nice job!!
Personally, I like the videos showing progress as it happens as opposed to dumping a huge video after it's done. Really cool to see how far you've come from the container shop!
The Bob Ross of construction.... not happy with the window metal, let's make it a door! Great video Matt.
The shop is looking mint! Can’t wait for the day you start pulling equipment in to start tearing into it! Been a long journey but you have built a shop to be proud of. Well done
First major spill on that floor is gonna result in a video of a grown man in tears...
Matt I'm 100% certain you know this, but man you're living the dream having a shop that big. Must feel like you won the lottery, only you earned it. I can't imagine, but someday I hope to.
It must be a very satisfying feeling to use all this equipment that you "Resurrected" yourself, on all these projects. I suppose one could say that you are the modern day Dr. Frankenstein of old equipment. IT'S ALIVE...IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!!
I'm also looking forward to see the crane system installed. Love the channel!
Can't really complain about the footage, this new shop is going to pead to a future of footage for you and the rest of us. I may be speaking for myself but this is just as exciting as watching you restore equipment becaue of what this building will do for you and your needs/future needs. I would rather see you in an organized equipped shop out of the weather than the time it takes you now, this shop will allow you to be more efficient and its convenient for you more so now than your current operation. It's turning out fantastic and its not my shop or project lol.
Coming along nicely Matt. That’s a nice shop! Can’t wait to see that bridge crane.
Spray foamed ceiling, but painted black would look AMAZING
That wall tin is PLUSH! Suggestion: mount a couple of spotlights where they can add fill for shots, then you can skip lightstands. That's going to be a GREAT work area / studio!
Matt, please put that service truck you bought long ago at the top of your list! What better thing to have to go out and be able to work on things you find away from your new shop of course. Love your channel 😊
Thanks again Matt. Things are coming along nicely, albeit slower then expected. Happy for ya to finally have a shop!!
I wonder if those metal sheets will amplify noises when working? I'd imagine going with plywood or other soft materials would dampen things. You do have those ridges with extreme angles, so that should help... but I still wonder -- do let us know, please. Aside from that, that shop looks amazing -- I'm jelly. :)
Morning Matt. Hope today goes well for you and your family. (Mechanical and people)
Same to you!
@@DieselCreek thanks 😊. I certainly have my suspicions that it may
Can't beat Kyle (RR) for metal buildings. He shows all the best practices. Your building is looking good.
The white really makes the shop much brighter!! That’s going to make it so much better to see what you’re doing. Really happy for you bro!
I gotta say the sound of a mandolin is my favorite. I’m born and raised in Appalachia WV so it’s part of my roots.
“Some of you may not like that. Well it’s not your shop!” Well said Matt. Well said!
He doesn't have to tell us that. He does it all the time. We know it's not ours but ours to admire by being a subscriber. Yes some smart a%$ is going to say well I don't have to be a subscriber to him and that's right but it's the attitude on how you say it and he'll loose subscribers if he keeps it up.just saying
Sorry but he got a thumbs down for that comment from me.
I'm sure if it wasn't for all the subscribers,merch etc this wouldn't have happened as soon as it has. It may not be ours physically,but I'm sure everyone feels that they have a part in it.
22:42 "Not your shop" You are right sir. But it is my time. Good luck in the future.
Woooohoo, another update. Love this series! Keep up the great content Matt 👍👍
AWESOME! Love your very common sense saying "It's not your shop". Plus the Semi-Supervillians are AMAZING!
Wasn’t sure what to expect with the internal sheeting .
Yes indeed it looks pretty good Matt .
That is my kind of attitude , If you do not like it , well "T.S." it is my shop. I applaud you sir , and keep it up.
The plan all comes together ...always a good feeling! Very nice Matt! 👍
First things first , i love the music. I like the open rafters to. Got them in my shop. I went through the same deal with metal work a j channel on my shop. The stuff is great but the job was so big and just like you had to cut around doors and windows and whatever else. Matt when my shop was finally done it was like im so freaking stressed and tired now i need a break and it took me a while before i worked on my first project. When i finally work on the first project i fell in love with shop and still love her. Beats the hell out of the cold, rain,mud, snow and so on. Great job brother man.
Love the new shop and the content that you send out, but the guys from Semi-Supervillains playing the music in front of the shop is awesome. Keep it up!!!
Something I want to point out for people who may want to build or have a pole barn built. More trusses does not mean stronger. If you build a pole barn with 10 foot spacing and you have trusses 10 foot spaced you will have a building the same as a building with 2 foot spacing for the roof trusses. Trusses are built for their application and when you place a truss on top of the pole and the next truss on the next pole you have a load rating for that roof, lets call it 10. Then you place a truss every 2 foot between on the headers now you have a roof with a load rating of 2 per truss over the same span which equals 10. There are builders that will tell you they build using 4 foot truss spacing and 8 foot centers which is fine, yet there are builders who know how to build using longer truss spacing that is far stronger. Sheathing also makes a building stronger. Also roof purling that are laid flat are weaker than purling that are installed vertical. Learn as much as you can before you drop money if you are going to build a home in one of these buildings. I am going with a 10 foot span with 10 foot trusses, vertical purling and full sheathing both inside and outside as well as girts and ceiling boards faced nailed and not shelves as I intend to use blown in celliouse.
Hey Mat, shed is coming along nicely. Viewing from down under
Don't forget to add living quarters, bed, bath, kitchen etc.
Really happy for you man. Great looking shop.
Matt you're so meticulous in everything you do. My father would've really liked you for the working man you're. I found your channel when you bought the CAT 977 dozer, I was searching RUclips for earthmoving equipment. My father was a earthmoving contractor, he also was a qualified diesel/petrol mechanic, he had welding skills too and he repaired all his earthmoving machinery himself. He worked hard all his life and made plenty of money doing so. In 1987 he was diagnosed with uncureable Malonoma and passed away in 1990 at 54 yrs of age and I love watching your work and your machine shop looks great 👍🏻. You remind me of my father. Thanks for your video's.
❤❤👍👍🇭🇲
Amazed at your ability to do so many things well ! Congratulations on your dream shop.
For those who take on a metal siding project similar to this one, a trick of the trade in handling each piece, is to roll into a circle each piece as you handle it, from where it's laying on the ground (or horse's / work platform,) to where you unroll each piece and install as necessary. You'll find it creates great strength / rigidity, so as to prevent the panel from warping / bending of the individual piece. You will also find a single person can handle a single panel to twenty foot lengths no problem.
Your shop is looking fantastic. All of the thought and planning that you have put into this is making all of dreaming come true. Good that it has taken you a year to build, this has allowed you time to make sure that you have it right the first time for your future plans. I am sure that you will happier than a pig in a blanket when you can work in your nice warm well lite shop out of the weather.
Hey Matt. Lookin good man
Love the work and videos 😃
Thanks! 😀
You will discover that if a sheet is slightly off plumb, and you should be checking every couple of sheets, there are a couple of tricks to bring them back to plumb while maintaining the all important fit on the ribs. Every builder who hangs metal sheets has figured that out, good builders anyway. Those sheets will move during installation, by now you know that. White is a great call for interior light dispersion.
nice video and really nice shop. I would probably do the same in Terms of layout but id change some stuff. Id start the trim right over the windows and do everything under it with woodsheeting. Then you can easily screw light and medium weight things to the wall and switch the bords out if they get damaged
I like that and is true is my shop not yours 😂😂 because you can take 1or 2 ideas from the comments but no to put it there way is your way but it’s is a good one brother like your videos I see you from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Love those sheet metal cutters. Hard to put up metal without them. Congratulations, on the shop getting soooo much closer to finish. When will the crain go in? What a great shop!!!
Really? All the time he was using them I was thinking that they were total crap and an angle grinder would be way faster, especially on cross cuts.
A toy shop to die for, so envious , live life like you mean it !!!😎
Can't wait for the concrete to be poured at the other end of the shop and create the 'drive thru' ability of the shop (then you will really be able to cycle through some projects!). Love how you color matched the old container shed to match the Dream Workshop!
RR does amazing work. I spent a few weeks recovering on the couch after surgery and watched all of his videos a couple years ago.
Great work Matt. I'm interested to hear your plans for utilities like power, water and sewer.
Really awesome job……looks great……KUDOS……you should be proud……..👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I love getting notifications of your videos. I am severely visually impaired from England and enjoy listening to your videos. Also love listening to hell workshop. Gutted I can’t see it but it sounds pretty impressive. Are you going to be running airlines around it?
ya he said he was going to run air in a different vid but now days it seems like most shops are going cordless and just using the air for compressed air cleaning lol
you know if you have bad sight but love to listen Mustie1 is a good channel he is very descriptive as he works
That all looks fantastic, Matt!
You're correct- it's your Shop, your $, your way.
Matt, what got me watching your videos was when I scrolled thru RUclips and found you working on your conex box trusses. That's what hooked me in! Lol I also very much can appreciate how you repurpose everything as I'm 70 years old and come from a time when you didn't waste things and money was tight. Now, we've gone full circle, and your skill set will may teach this generation how to " make do" with what you have! Good job Brother!
Those window cutouts help you appreciate all the whole panels.
Keep up the good work, Matt. You & a new awesome shop will surely mean great videos to come (and comfortable for you and those who help you out). Looking forward to more great content from Diesel Creek.
Thanks for sharing this insightful video Matt.
May I make an off-the-wall suggestion for your on-the-wall electrical outlets. If your Electrician has not suggested it please consider installing a GFI-C (or similar) water sensor breaker in each of the lower duplex outlets. Also Leviton and others offer duplex receptacles with built in USB chargers (Leviton T5632-BW-R02-T5632-0BW CHARGER) not affiliated.! I have found these incredibly handy at the oddest times and locations although workbench is most often used location.
Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Greetings from NE Ohio. Peace brother
Man, what an awesome workshop! It's really coming together- great job Matt!
I was a little surprised to see you use sheetmetal Instead of sheetrock or chipboard that might have added to the insulation better.
Spray foam would have been good for the walls as well as the roof. Maybe the sheet foam was more economical.
That sheetmetal is so pretty that it will put everything else to shame that's in your shop.
Once you fill that shop with a bunch of brand-new shiny stuff it will look like a factory showroom.
If you used flat surfaces on the ceiling and walls you could have somebody come in there and paint murals of famous old machinery on on all the surfaces like the Sistine chapel. 😁😃😆☺️
But of course with a clear coat to make it easy to clean.
Good work takes time, thought and effort. You are probably like me when it comes to building stuff. In your mind you build it and deconstruct it a thousand times before the physical build. That why you know where every stick of wood and nail will go. Love your channel, Matt. You have taught this old dog a few tricks. Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada!
Those walls turn out
nice Great job Matt.
It's going to be so nice
once your overhead
crane is installed.
Looking awesome Matt! Going to need protection from the reflections when you're in there welding. Your cutting mistake is one that I'm good at. I measure once, cut 3 times and it's still too short! But really, on some critical measurements I use the 1" mark and have to remember to do the math the right way. And it's easy to be distracted by conversation or that phone we can't live without anymore.
Cool to see Vinnie and the boys jammin' live at the Creek! Gotta have a concert inside when you are finished!
It's been great watching the progress on your dream shop Matt. Myself, amongst others, wish it could have happened quicker/sooner but any construction/build has it's own time and you just have to go with it so I'm happy you're where you are 👍.
Matt remember what I told you about never driving any heavy equipment onto your new floor, because if you do and you crack your floor, then guess what'll happen all the fluid you'll have in your tubing is going to drain out and no more heated floor!
Matt, the shop is looking awesome. Thanks for sharing this video 👍👍👍👍👍😾🫠🐺
You bet!
What's the hold up ? Nothing, as far as I can tell. Takes longer doing it right, and the way YOU want it. Your paying the bills, make it your dream, and everyone that would do it different, can. Great looking shop , IMO !!
Walls look great Matt, My shop is spray foamed and walls are white also. Once I had spray foam complete I ended up leaving the ceiling open also, but sprayed everything flat black to cover that ugly yellow tint of the foam. Something to think about and it actually helped brighten the area even more if that makes sense. You can see it in some of my videos I think. Its a very clean look and finishes the upper half very well. Thanks for taking us along on the shop build, doing a great job.
Flat black is a bad "BAD" idea! unless you want to dissipate the busy aspect of the rafters crisscrossing in the background of videoing. that said. I have worked in buildings as an HVAC tech. many-many years. Leave the foam insulation as is. Black seems to negate the distraction of busyness in the background, White ceiling with light fixtures BX conduit J boxes, and ductwork is hidden in Black but let someone move or add anything. It's like stars at night! that will really be distracting in the video background. True the overhead crane will be in the foreground. that will be distracting enough! Leave foam as is My experience once painted Black you can't stop touching it up!
I'd be lyin' if I said I never added or subtracted an inch a time or too... It's coming along nicely. Nice work!
Well I was going to bed…..
Me too lol not now
not in america? only 7 in the mornin
Australia 🇦🇺- a worldwide audience for young Matt
@@Liverpool270 nice man!
It's a hard life. I had to grab another beer and watch the new video.
Now time to hit the fart sack.
Looking good! 👍😁 I imagine it's already complete, but make sure your spray foam guy puts drop cloths over the nice new sheet metal. It can make a huge mess. Fun video Matt
just have to say, i love the mandolin being played in the intro song. The Semisuper villians NAILED it with this song!! Love it reminds me of my grandfathers Mandolin and how beautiful it is and he was.
Glad you enjoyed!
Matt, your measuring mistake at the first window, made me feel good. If even you can make a boo-boo like that, I need not chew my nails for similar mistakes (which, by the way, occurs much to frequently in my DIY projects 😯)
So bright with the white walls reflecting the light! Great job!
