Hey Dave, standing desk owner here: Highly recommended getting a soft standing pad below the desk so when you stand, it isn’t on firm gear for long periods of time. Additionally, you need to acclimate to standing so for the first couple weeks, I recommend standing for 30 minutes and then sit for 30 and repeat. If you try standing for long periods right away, you might make your feet super sore and alternating will help build up strength.
Not only is it nice to see the bunker slowly becoming more and more complete every few weeks, its also nice to see gradual improvements in the production and editing of these videos, it really does feel like everything is coming together a little more with every video!!
I’ve swapped editing software for this video, it took me much longer to do because I had to learn it all and I can also see how I can improve the videos a lot more now, so hopefully the next will be an improvement on the this one again 😀
Incredible level of engineering and construction. Love the choice of brickwork. It really has a WW2 style to it and looks similar to the ROC & auxiliary unit bunkers built by the Royal Engineers
God! You are amazing engineer, from Software to civil engineering, welder and a passionate person ❤. Wow, what a great creation. Never expected a person to go to such a length to realise that dream. Love you and your work, God Bless you and your family 🙏
You sir...are winning!!! So, among a thousand other cool things, you printed off a pipe fitting. Seriously cool I thought. Then you decided to print one off a different colour. I was watching & felt I should stand & clap. Brilliance through & through! Oh of all the people throughout all history who have built a bunker that had their jeep parked in it at one point...yeah nah you're it 🙂 ALL THUMBS UP!!! If anyone calls you mad, be sure to thank them for the kind compliment. "Praise the Cracked, for it is they that let in the light"
I’ve only limited experience with the stuff, but I helped build one house that was a good 40’ x 40’ structure, entirely stood on 4 steel beams, such that it was a house on stilts, over a open parking area, and the whole steel frame was really springy and bouncy when it was first assembled, because it was designed for the load of the house. Once we built the house on top, and added the stone cladding, the entire structure stiffened up. My point is, your beams are likely designed with a certain load expectancy, and once you approach it, it ought to firm up.
@@danunger2784 yes that was my main plan for the build, get as much thermal mass as possible. So I got the screed, all the bricks, the staircase and the beam and block all in my insulated area. This should end up very constant on the temperature all year round hopefully
One possible solution would be to place a massive beam underneath all those concrete beams perpendicular to them AND place a massive reinforcement on top on the plate before pouring the concrete to hold the new bending moment on that line. But you have to ask an engineer to calculate the amount of reinforcement before and the beam underneath as well.
It's looking great Dave 👍 I'm glad you know what you're doing - loving the block and beam floor , back in the day 😂many an old building had that design which works well !!
3:29 Hey Dave you know what would be ace is if you could get your hands on a Sinclair C5 and fit track wheels on it … you could even build a turntable at each end to turn it around at the press of a button 😂
If you tie some cable from one edge of the blocks to the other next to the beams you change them to being in compression. If that cable is stood off the middle down to the beam base you should reduce the bounce
Love your videos! You are so talented and a really nice person. The only thing I would like is a bit more of what you are doing and not what you have done. Maybe start another channel with less editing. I would watch 60min vids as you are so interesting to watch. Please don't take this as a negative. 👍👍👍100k incoming
Future videos will include more content, the full bunker build was hard to film and edit as there is 3 weeks graft In each video, from now on though I am doing jobs that I can film throughout, so for example next video is tunnelling, the one after will be a Christmas special which should be pretty cool, then I go on to cool features like the bunker doors, and a high speed tunnel train, then move on to the great escape log burner entrance and the broom cupboard lift 😀 all these I can fully film so should be better 😀
Action packed! Engineers design brilliant and amazing things but they also build confusing and disappointing things. Who the hell wants a floor that bounces? Hopefully that cement stiffens them up. Perhaps a row of cross bridging underneath in the middle will help? Great channel. great work. Keep doing interesting things.
So glad this channel got suggested for me to wiew 🙂 Watching something get built and with mad twist to it that included a history lesson to it all then the Jeep for even more of history 👍
I would duct the heat recovery in 204x60 flat channel then run up too the unit then get sq to round adapter then Make sure you insulate the supply and extract runs fully to avoid moisture. Most them units need a condensate trap too. They’re usually designed for whole house installations so you can have a balanced air system in the house. Enjoying the build keep it up
Have you concidered leaving the track as it is and simply making a small recess in the floor of the room? You can modify the cart so that when it's in the room it completely fills the trench so that the top is level with the floor of the room. Esentially, apart from a small clearance gap around the cart, you'd hardly know it was there.
Yes I did consider this option but wanted the underfloor heating to work in that area of the room and think recessed tracks giving a flat floor will work better
don’t drive a car onto that block-n-beam floor Dave! my garage uses those, they are tighter spaced and still require 75mm of steel mesh reinforced concrete over before it can handle the point loads of a car.
Looking amazing. I personally do not like the small tunnel bc I think it would get annoying getting down especially as you get older. I like the bricks a lot.
If you're going to be doing more prints you might want to consider a Bambu A1 or even an X1. I picked up the A1 and it's about 4x faster than the Ender I was using before, plus auto levelling, built-in camera and WiFi. Haven't had a bad print yet!
@Tornado_Dave Hi Dave. I can have a look for you on Monday. Are the concrete beams 225mm deep? I have used beam and block floors for garages based on a live load of 2.5kN/m2. If you do do it I would recommend putting the screed down first, otherwise the wheel load could go straight through a block as it will fail in shear. C.
Long ways back, i thought “this guy’s gone bonkers”. However, you are quite skilled and this project is fantastic. Keep up all the hard work you make look easy.
I wish I was immortal or at least live another 500 years so I can live to see what happens to your bunker years later... Hope the future people take care of it
Looking awesome, Dave, well done! Might I recommend investing in a larger computer monitor for your CAD design tasks. 😉Probably a bit late in the game now, but your eyes will thank you.
Hi Dave. Great video once again. Can you please confirm that you haven't damaged my Jeep? I dont want to be driving around Normandy in a wreck 😂 Hope you have a brilliant christmas, and i wouldn't mind a free cup if possible. Thanks ❤
In that situation, will it? I'm new to 3d printing, and am literally on my first drum of PLA+, not actually used anything else! What will happen to it? It seems pretty tough. Way tougher than I was expecting.
@markrainford1219 PLA is supposed to be biodegradable, I would be concerned about toilet waste and especially cleaning products like bleach causing it to breakdown. You could print with ABS but that is a pain to get setup right. I wouldn't trust the PLA, if you do leave it there make sure you can get to it easily and check every so often. Don't want sewage spilling into your nice new bunker
So are you going to have the cart go up to the fridge to grab beers? Or would you be missing a trick and have the fridge being remote controlled to come down the tunnel on the track? 😉🍻

In a different lifetime when I was a young man in the 101st, I knew the chain count to sling load a jeep/deuce and a half/5 tons so many others
Probably did it safer than I did 😂
This is getting ridiculously good!!
very cool to see the beam and block system, looks very doable. Glad the mortar stiffened it up
Absolutely brilliant Dave.
Always thinking outside the box 😊
amazing work cant wait to see whats next love building myself and watching the progress

Substantial foam between brick and concrete. That's going to make a nice thermal mass. Good planning.

Just brilliant Dave, thank you so much for doing this and sharing it.

You should have grouted the beams with a dry sand/cement brushed into the joints the washed in. It tightens the floor and removes most of the flex

Good morning, Dave, cracking video, I needed a rest after watching. I am really keen to see the next stage. Cheers
I was worried the video would come across boring but seems to be fast paced enough to be watchable 😀
Good show, cheers Dave
Brilliant video Dave. Great work looks amazing really enjoyable watch looking forward to the next one. Channel deserves 100K viewers.
Great update! Thanks for all the content!
Block flooring: I've always been told to just sweep a couple of bags of dry cement into the joints.
Another great episode Dave!! It's coming along very nicely!!
Glad you enjoy it!
wow that concrete moves!!!
That's what you get for using beams and blocks instead of one giant cast steel reinforced slab! (:
That sir is a fabulous space, look forward to mre.
Thank you kindly
Great wrok again Dave!
At last a video, you’ve saved me from boredomitis!
Coming along great! I think you should do a Christmas special.
Look good like film called the great escape wonderful story, I love ur bunkers mate safe

Cheers chris, so what are your thoughts on driving the jeep on the beam and block floor, since you have all the calcs 😀
@Tornado_Dave
Hi Dave.
I can have a look for you on Monday. Are the concrete beams 225mm deep? I have used beam and block floors for garages based on a live load of 2.5kN/m2. If you do do it I would recommend putting the screed down first, otherwise the wheel load could go straight through a block as it will fail in shear.
C.
@ no they are 175mm, maybe we should have gone for the 225 😂
@Tornado_Dave
I will check on Monday. It'll all depend on the clear span.
I have to say I love it...
Long ways back, i thought “this guy’s gone bonkers”. However, you are quite skilled and this project is fantastic. Keep up all the hard work you make look easy.
