Things arn't taking so long now i'm doing them in a better order lol, every project has its learning curve......this one is just a bit bigger. The furze custom tee is ending probably by monday btw
It’s a matter of pressure, time, and finding a cave. I’m with you all the way, Stig of the underground.
It's nice to see that the pace is picking up. Cant wait to see the garage when it's done!
Hey Colin, when are you doing part 3 of the big garage on the main channel? Another thing is , how will you get the hydraulics working and putting them in to hold the weight of the delorean. Oh well I just hope no more things go bad while you wait to get the delorean in its hiding place.❤😀
9:36 GAYT
looks fun! thanks for sharing
Every man had a dream when they were a child some were tree houses and some were secret underground bases, it's nice to see a dream coming true
i can't wait
I made bowth! Parents were furious.
Some people dream of having secrets underground treehouses.
@@jwalster9412sadly my jealous neighbor kid set it on fire. That was the end of that dream.
How about a High Bunker or Underground Tree Fort lol
I don't think a single person that watched this video has ever thought your 'lack' of content is rubbish. These projects and inventions are a HUGE undertaking and we appreciate that. It's always been quality over quantity. And you are one of the very few creators that have stayed themselves. Mighty Car Mods probably being another great example.
Indeed. Let the concrete cook, and I do thank Colin for keeping us posted. He'll post when he's good and ready!
The only thing that changed with his channel is that he started building a bunker years ago and basically got stuck with this megaproject, but we all appreciate this change haha
@@Zybran93 Been watching it for ages. I love it!
100% this, there are so many content creators for various things that once they start to get big they change or move away from what made them popular. Or the worst is when they scorn their audience because they think they are above hearing feedback.
Fr
Colin Furze shaving stories is what I really needed today. Thank you.
Indeed! It's nice seeing a side of Colin that's just him sitting around enjoying some calm, rather than being frantic.
Plus, we came to watch Colin, not Keith.
@@MonkeyJedi99 Mrs. Furz is starting a meme with this.
@@MonkeyJedi99oh I thought he was saying keef
@@evann03 I... interpreted.
I love watching these behind the scenes kind of videos on the process. My father was a fabricator, had his own business, but he loved to make things he would use around the house, (he built a jumbo pogo stick out of a strut from a car, later turned it into an adjustable hanging mount for his flatscreen on a track to hang from the rafters.) But seeing all the welding and projects you've done warms my heart, because I remember showing him some of your videos when he was around, and he thought they were so awesome, he wished he had thought of them!
the fact a second channel video gets on trending shows how much we are enjoying this series. Can't wait to see it finished
"You'd think we'd be better at this by now" haha, this is so relatable, every time i'm doing any type of concrete work with my father.
So youse guys Furze around then, with the old!
Concreting is real hard work and difficult to finish well.
Honestly any type of work I am not used to. Oh, quickly cut down a tree or build a table or do some painting - how long can that take, its just a wall and I did it a dozen times...
This is the first time I've seen him sit still and just talk. It was great!
"Woah oh Chris Bibby, bamba lamb!" Gonna be stuck in my head all week, thank you very much Colin.
Colin furze flute shoot v2 either make it a slightly bendy tube about 1-2 meters at the end. Attack a rigid rod to the end so you can direct it then you wont need to move it at the top.
OR
Make the top bit a platform on wheels u can move and then clamp down (quick release flipy clamps for extra points)
I prefer this type of video Colin!
The behind the scenes almost, how it all actually works, the banter, the things that don’t go right, the long explanations.
I love it!
I agree for sure. I know it is more work in the front part with setting it all up and stuff, but I hope it is less on the editing side.
I guess different things for different people as I was just thinking that I liked watching Nick Zametti waffle on about woodworking and the process of everything, but he stopped doing that as much. It makes me wonder if it was because of people being like "Get on with it and quit flapping your gums" sort of thing.
Happy Furzeday everyone, unless you’re watching another day obviously 😂
Lmao
Happy Furzeday indeed
Today is Thursday 😂😂😂😂
It’s already Friday because timezones
Can't beat being a furzeday watcher!!
Many years ago when I was in my 20's (I'm 70 now) they were installing tunnels (service tunnels) under the campus at West Texas State University. At the time the were doing this large area where all the tunnels meet up at. This very beautiful blonde come strolling across the grounds as the cement truck was backing up to pour the walls to this huge meeting place. The guy marshaling the truck was looking at the blonde as well as the cement driver and neither 1 paying attention as to what was going on, all of a sudden the cement truck went from horizontal to verticle in like 2 seconds and then fell in the hole. The driver and the guy telling him to back up were fired on the spot and it took 3 very large cranes to get the cement truck out of the hole. Thought you would like to know
😂😂😂
That was her third concrete truck that week.
You need some safety caps on the rebar. If you slip and fall on them starter bars you'll know about it mate.
Great to see you using our Concrete Vibrator tool 😃 hope the project is going well!
Why is Tom Lamb so charming? Love that man, almost as much as you Colin. This project has been my favorite on RUclips, I love everything you bring us, thank you
Makes me feel sad that Rick retired. He doesn't look as old as he is but good for him.
He's the loveable friend we all wish we had.
2:15
Are we not gonna talk about how Colin perfectly imitates the sound of a concrete vibrator?
You are talking about it.
I’ve been looking for someone else who appreciated it 😂
Came here to comment the same thing, it thought it was edited at first
Yeah he was spot on
this definitly turned me on.
"Dryer than that!"
"Yeah. Bit wetter please Chris."
"Needs to be dryer than that mate!"
haha. Brilliant
It's always the same lol. I'm mixing concrete with a mixer and every load is different.
@@schwuzi I think this is mixed on site so it is possible to change the mix as you pour it.
@@JBobjorkthat’s not how concrete works. It’s not mixed there. It’s mixed at a plant per the formula required for the job. The truck has a water tank & can add water to thin it down as it comes out.
@@stevemccauley5734 Also add water to it to delay the set time if they get delayed, but you can only add so much before it gets out of the specification needed.
Colin i just got my jar of tunnel dirt red label No'55. thank you so much from Stephens & Son.
enjoying the build, enjoying the videos keep up what your doing its amazing. 👍👍
I'm glad you built that to scale model....because the fish eye lense makes this project the dimensions look massive...loving the build and waiting with anticipation for the final results...
It's OK About the lack of videos Colin true fans understand. The underground garage is taking shape and looking good. I recently watched a RUclips video about an Italian man who moved to the States and spent years digging acres of underground tunnels and and shafts to let the light in he even had orchards planted underground in these shafts. Keep up the great work, God bless you and your family Colin.
What's the name of his videos?
I also need the name of this video
I need the name of this video as well.
And me
Whats the name 🙂
Hate to say it, but im glad the concrete guy was late! Cool little sit down segment!
Some bot copied your comment.
Just think, if the concrete man had come on time we wouldn't have learned about Keith....
The small talk in the beginning made my day a lot brighter! Tysm for showing us bits like this!
9:19 The sound of the concrete in the tube is incredible
9:07 is an unexpectedly satisfying sound.
13:02 After the concrete pour, you're not concrete poor. But mind trapped air or you got concrete pores.
15:33 "they should've been the right height shouldn't they" 🤣 absolutely love it
How tall may be Tom?
i feel a little bit claustrophobic now
18:31 Tom just staring into the molten eye of the welder 😂 i hope he doesnt go blind
Lmao, I thought the same thing and ran to the comments! He must have those safety squints down pat.
I too LMAO. I think Tom has welding contact lenses...
Lmao 😂 wild, think he's giving himself lazer eye surgery 😂
Farmers are a different breed, my Granddad had a welding mask but I don't think I ever saw him use it, just the squint.
I just realized that this project will immensely improve quality of life when you're finished because you'll have somewhere to escape the ever hotter summers. Good reassurance for storms too I suppose, but less of an issue.
Living 20 mins from Colin, I can confirm our summers aren't that hot and our storms aren't that stormy.
True but there always exceptions
British weather is always very unpredictable
30m down the road in Stevenage - it's not that it's hot, it's that it's really close and sweaty. The moisture in the air holds the heat overnight as well, so it's still minging when you're trying to sleep
Also, world war 3! 😂
Colin I've been following you for a lot of years now. While I really love your videos, I also hope this project can get finished. I know it's something you love but it has turned out to be massive. I enjoyed the old times with smaller projects but I respect your dedication. I will always be here but at the same time I really wish this project didn't consume so much of your time.
I'm Just an operator of heavy machinery,
but adding another traffic cone or witches hat,
onto the existing one in order to get the next size up could help the cement truck,
using big washers with a nut and bolt will work... (moveable tolerance)
the hats sometimes just get left lying around hazards from council works :D
also i could see a long reach handle, with maybe a more flexible join 3/4s of the way down being effective
Im only a subscriber,
not yet a subterranean king
I'd love to have a tea one day with ya,
but thanks for the content
Hi Colin, here is some quick feedback for the update videos. I love watching these "behind the scenes" videos and have always loved them since you started the channel. As a viewer, it's always so great to learn your process of the nitty-gritty of what you are doing. Explaining why you chose to pour, where you did it, and what tools you use would go a long way. At 22:20, you do a fantastic job of explaining the process, but for a 25-minute video, there is little of it. Your videos are unique; we all appreciate your hard work creating fantastic content!
One of the things I've noticed about Colin is that no matter what this man is doing, he is loving life. We could all take a note or two from him. I'd love to see him interview the Mrs. and neighbors about their thoughts and reactions from all his crazy projects lol
Colin once you are done here and start the dig the tunnel to the bunker I think you should try using a ROLLER CONE Drill bit I am not sure how much or where you would get it but the method it uses to loosen soil I am sure will help you dig instead of just using a hydraulic press.
18:16 In James May's words
"That looks like it was done with a knife and fork by the council. It's not square, it's not neat, he's wasted material, he's left sharp edges, it's all bent. I cannot conceive of the mind of a man who would look at that and think that was the right way to do it."
THE ONLY TOOL IN THIS OPERATION WAS YOU!!!!
I'm sure this is gonna get buried, but PLEASE, COLIN
PUT SOME REBAR TOPPERS ON THE VERTICAL REBAR.
My heart skipped a beat seeing you nearly fall on them.
even thin ones like those would go straight through a hardhat if you fell on them.
Vibrator Imitation 10/10
I am a concrete pump truck operator in the U.S. I wish you lived here so I could be involved in pumping this job man. That would be awesome!
This is madness, therefore its easily utter brilliance on far too many levels to count
Keep on keeping on good sir.
"PRAISE THE CRACKED FOR IT IS THEY WHO LET IN THE LIGHT" (I don't think there's a list of Furzisms but they should qualify along with "The Furze Flute Chute")
All thumbs up. May your cups of tea always be warm & refreshing.
Colin!! My son and I watch all your tunnel videos! Father-son time aside, he came up with a BRILLIANT idea for left over concrete for you. Make some small molds and pour the excess concrete into them, making Tunnel Pucks! You could make a negative of some simple design, say “Furze Mining Co.” Or just a Safety Tie symbol. Whatever, and cast that into the pucks and sell them right along side the jars of dirt! The molds could be made from simple thin wall pipe segments to make little concrete rounds!
Just a thought. ;-)
Love all the videos you make!
1:17 "I haven't done it all at once cause I thought if we fill that up it would just try and *the noise that those tubes make that you turn upside down*"
I’m also working in heavy heat, and the way you look and are sitting is exactly how I feel. I appreciate that you shared that you are human. as a full time tradesman whose projects are lagging, it’s reassuring to see you look a little tired, like the rest of us 😂
The only thing that made this episode even better is to see Tom and Dave. You guys make a great team. More in the future please. 🤘🏻
Speaking as an engineer, the exposed foundations of your house are giving me serious anxiety. The longer that ground is exposed, the bigger chance of something going wrong. I hope you get a chance to build a support/wall there soon. I hope your planning on using stronger rebar for that area too. Love what you do... living the dream
Always a good day when there is a secret garage / tunnel update!
WE LOVE CONCRETE DAY COLIN
Colin, a couple of questions that I may have missed the answers to. (1) what seals/covers the driveway when the car lift is in the recessed position? So you drive the car onto the lift in the driveway, lower it into the underground garage, and then there is an opening above the car - what covers that opening if anything? (2) You now have a car, presumably with gasoline (I guess you would say petrol) in it in an underground garage - which I would argue is not quite the same as an attached garage to your home (safety wise). What safety mechanisms will be in place underground? Fire suppression system? Gas exhaust? I know you have the fresh air vent - but is that enough to vent bad gases in the event of an emergency? (3) Have you considered an emergency escape route? I don’t remember if you talked about this or not, but an “escape hatch” up through the roof of the “carport” might be a safety feature. Sure, it would introduce a new area for rain water/etc to enter, and would require extra sealing, but in the event of a disaster (oil/gas fire, etc) it might be a real comfort to have. These have probably all been discussed before, my apologies if I missed them.
Your concrete chute is called a “Tremie” and as you mentioned they are used to prevent segregation in the wet concrete (I.e., the big rocks settling to the bottom of the pour).
Without your safety tie, I was certain you were going to be impaled on that rebar.
Tom looking over your shoulder while you are welding is kind of funny
So great to see our two favourite Swift-Cut Pro tunnelers Colin and Dave working together on this amazing project!
I run one of these trucks in the States. They aren’t very common here. Really cool to see one being used in the UK.
I live in Warwickshire, which is in the Midlands, I'm a artic (tractor/trailer) driver and I see a 5 axle volu-mix truck quite often round here. It's a very impressive looking bit of kit, and that's despite the fact its a Mercedes benz, as they're my least favourite make of truck.
Youre going to have quite the bunker compound when everythings connected, you just need to install a well and build a hydroponics room next.
Love the beginning, it's just like we're hangin out with you, just chattin bout sheeeet n stuff.. Just need a cuppa tea to relax with
The most amazing thing about this project is that you got your neighbors and the government on board.
What are you talking about?... this bunker is secret ..nobody knows about this..
More the neighbours than anything.
Always nice to have some extra help, especially when dealing with many tons of concrete. Cannot wait to see it finished. Fantastic job Colin.
I thought Rick might have been helping out with the concrete, come to think of it I haven't seen Rick about in Collins videos for ages?...
Sadly, the tunnel dirt won't ship outside the UK at the moment 😟. So the people outside the UK have to hope that someone will start selling them on E-Bay 😁.
Colin a question. Not sure if you've already mentioned it or keeping it close to your chest. I'm assuming your planning on creating a opening and closing roof. What's the plan there? Sliding from underneath? Swing doors? It's not my speciality but seems like could be a nightmare to get water tight. I'm assuming you'll need drainage channels? The turn table lift and doors are going to be 2 of the best things you've ever built. Wish you the best
Thank you both, Tunnel Dave is a great guy to have around and a great helper. Keep digging.
16:55 At this exact moment you see Tunnel Dave wish his tunnel/bunker was like Colin’s
Tunnel envy is real. Gotta keep up with the Joneses!
"We may have a new prime minister, maybe not, doesn't matter their all rubbish anyway" I couldn't agree more Furze! 🤣
I can’t even begin to think of how much of a pain it must be to even fill but especially sort through all the footage and now sort what’s for the main or secondary channel.
That alone is an undertaking in itself but then building this tunnel/underground garage is a completely different issue. And with all that I’m insanely impressed.
Thank you both, Tunnel Dave is a terrific helper and a pleasant guy to be around. Continue excavating.
Maybe try it like the first floor part, with the steel plates that have holes and welt steel funnels on them, which get removed later. 🔥
This whole series and journey has been one of the best things on youtube to follow. Its like tuning in to your faverite tv program.
I've been having a horrible day and week. It was great to see this video pop-up on my homepage. Thanks for what you do and the videos you make. Even just a video like this from you brought some joy to what was already a pretty rough morning. Thanks Colin.
Hope it gets better for ya! When you're down the only way is up!
Super !
but really dangerous to leave the ends of the metal bars straight without recurve them (curved extremity). 8:30
You must bend each end of the bar because this leads to serious or even fatal accidents. it is a source of suffering and danger.
They also sell plastic caps to go onto them.
Three ideas - 1) Make the 'roof' of the lift, which would be the floor of the driveway when its closed and the car is underground, plexiglass on the topmost layer, and solar panels below it. So that the whole lift roof adds solar for the bunker power. 2) Drinking water evaporate. It can draw power from whatever green energy your house and bunker produce, and can reduce humidity in the tunnels while producing potable water. A true bunker survival tool. 3) Stretch goal; Make all the airways and entryways air-sealable (just leave them open most the time), and add an actual HEPA air system with forced air to create positive pressure. A true bunker.
Your neighbors are too damn kind 😂
The year is 2068, nuclear war has broken out. Meanwhile, a small neighborhood in England has retreated to the safety of their secret web of bunkers that had been mysteriously been built years ago…
Im convinced he owns the house on the other side of the party wall.
He lets them gang out in the man cave
@@Z3BESsomehow they didn't even know they were built until a mysterious letter slipped under there door detailing exactly where every exit/entry point was.
@@jamesworley2674that would be funny.
Colin PLEASE use caps to cap off re bar sticking up. You can be seriously injured if you slip & impale yourself, stay safe. Love your videos
Hello Karen.
The gray in the beard can be awesome. I have it and I basically have racing stripes.
Up to a point. Without noticing, I turned into Santa. I used to be self conscious that I had ginger in my beard & tache, but now it's mostly white.
if not already planned dont forget to put a pump sump in so that if you have wateringress you can pump it off from the deepest place
11:22 I always do that, when I need a quick precise cut. Just don’t push on the disc, and let it do its job. This is the way to have much less smoke off of it.
I also wear my 3m respirator for spray painting, especially when I do this indoors. Will upload a “portable stove” video soon. There’s an example of what it looks like.
Props to your long-suffering neighbours for letting you put that tracking over their front garden! Rather generous of them to facilitate this madness
They might just be too scared to say no. When the guy who keeps building ever increasingly rockets, flying machines, and underground lairs asks to drive over your garden you just be glad he didn’t bury you in his garden
Trafic cone as funnel! Genius 😂
That made my day
New concrete system? Sounds like you are getting places Colin! Keep digging; keep up the good work!
I love how, besides all the amazing stuff you've built, you're still hyped about a simple thing like your concrete shute.
It's still amazing to me how exothermic a reaction drying concrete is. It's basically just rocks, sand.. so more rocks... and water. And yet it produces heat when drying.
Colin Furze wailing as concrete sprays into his personal space like a cat menaced with a spray bottle is the content we all need.
Great Britain, possibly the only nation with recreational tunneling enthusiasts. 🇬🇧 Makes you proud!
So glad you allow us all to take this journey with you. It's been one of my favorite things to do the last few years
I like the commentary of this channel. I love both channels. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
Would you consider fixing the cone, cutting some of the top of the tube and putting some flexible tubing in between so the top doesn't change angles on the concrete guy?
Aw yiss, more tunnel! Best thing on the internet
Me to wife with great excitement “tunnel Dave is now in Colin’s tunnel video”
Wife didn’t share the same joy. 😂
Weird that , i got the exact same response.😂
Awesome! Love the progress videos!
you should look into if the rocks you're tunneling through can be used as an aggregate in the concrete you need for the project.
doing a project like you are doing is hard enough, never mind setting up cameras to record it as well. my dad was a builder and days we did concrete or laying bricks i come home knackered, makes me wonder where you get the energy to keep going and do the camera work stuff as well. keep up the good work, i dont mind the delay between videos considering how good and interesting each video is.
Concrete day! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥
Keep em coming Colin!
concrete day!!!!
Doubt you’ll see this in the 1000s of comments, but I watched a good documentary about ‘The Mole Man of Hackney’ the other day. Another suburban tunnel digging enthusiast! Worth a watch. 👍
He made me so nervous, watching him use that concrete tube because he was stepping over that section with rebar spikes pointing upward. One slip of his foot could’ve impaled his feet with that skinny rebar. So happy it went smoothly. 👍👍👍
17:39 Love you Colin you’re an inspiration to us DIYers but please edit this out as it sounds like you’re say a certain word, it could be just my hearing ❤❤
def not just you lol
you aren't the only one
Colin. Those of use that have followed you for more than 3 years understand any delays in your videos. Just do what you do and we'll be here. 😎👍
Anyone else have full body shivers when they sawed at the foam pieces? 😂😂😂😂
Use a 2 1/2 inch head vibrator ... 110 Volt AC ... You won't believe the difference ... It'll level any mound and it's powerful ... Great Video ! From USA SC...
I live on an extinct volcano so two feet under my feet the dirt ends and it goes strait into basalt and when I was drilling my well we drilled 320 feet and never broke through the basalt so I’ve been thinking about adding on to my basement and tunneling through the solid rock and having a hidden book shelf escape tunnel. That would take allot of time but I think I’m gonna give it a go. I’ve done similar things
Wait ....4oclock on a Thursday afternoon, this is normally a morning coffee watch for me ......descions 🤔🤣 now or tomorrow morning !!
first
that means I get free dirt????
you actually are!
@@skyknight6467 I don't think so? I dunno
@@skyknight6467I got some dirt for you. Neighborhood dogs keep pooping on my lawn so I'm getting rid of all the dirt
Wow! that's more support for free dirt then I ever thought I'd get. Seriously though shipping to the USA would be way too much. Plus I'm in the process of buying my first house so hopefully if everything goes right I'll have all the dirt I could ever want. If Colin see's this though You're doing great!!! If I may be a bit corny, I'm digging the second channel. lol
You need bottom halve of wooden wall to temporarily block any debris during the digging. (So, you don’t have to go extra effort)
