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.

We know that this was never going to be a fast project and understand the time things take time, but you can stand back and admire what you and your guys that have helped you achieve. This is a workshop to die for. Well done 👏

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. This construction is Forming a ventilation channel between the tin boards and the massoinate/ hdf . The over sides of the roof truss will be ventilated to! 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. Anoder benefit is that the workshop does not need to be masked / protected from spray all over the place when insulating. They can be painted if a particular colour is wanted.

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 TH-cam 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. ❤❤👍👍🇭🇲
The best part of this video was when Matt said… “well too bad, it’s my shop, not yours” ….. YES!! We need more of this northeast attitude in our vids! Thanks for sharing Matt!
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.
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 !!!!!
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...
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!
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.
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
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!
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!
Nice shop Matt. I built one back in the early 80’s and than it got turned in to a machine shop . The machines took up All my space I’m 67 now and I have been talking about adding on for years so I have space to work on projects. I’m like you I have built my buildings with some help but did what I could to save money. By watching your videos it has got me out of my chair and is getting me excited about getting started on the addition. I thought I was going to retire last year but it has made me miserable I’m going to forget about my age and live my life without looking back . Your do a nice job on your videos. Thanks Gordon!
Thanks! thank you for making us dream, your shop is not just yours, it belongs to all of us. Knowing that you have succeeded in this titanic feat gives me hope, maybe one day I will too...in the meantime I'll buy you a cold beer. A hug my friend
Some people are bitter and envious of other people’s success - and some people…people like you…celebrate other people’s success. The latter is such a rare and wonderful quality. It’s as it should be.
@@matthewjohnston1400 Doubt that anyone is jealous , bitter of someone else's success. What people forget is that this is paid for with income from youtube and for and you need a lot of loyal followers. Without followers, there would not be a workshop of this size. 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.
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.
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.
Matt your shop is amazing you should be proud as I'm sure you are I myself am making a big leap this year as I am building my wife and myself our dream home at almost 60 years old.
FOAM Insulation....When they get done closed cell spray foaming the roof cavity I recommend you spray paint the foam as soon as it cures, I had several buildings foamed roof only and the ones I didn't spray with latex paint shrunk back and started to gap at the rafters. Also anything that you don't want ANY foam on you must cover as it is a pain to clean and detail after the fact. That's my experience, results will very with contractors and the mix they use....I was also in South Texas and the roof area was subject to high temps
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.
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
Had a shop with sizzler trusses and added a drop ceiling to it. Lasted 2 years and and pulled it down, Sprayfoamed it and and open trusses. Much nicer. Keep doing what you are doing. Great video string.
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!!!
I think the shop looks great it took a long time but having guy's doing the job that ate one of the best I gotta say that the crew that did the concrete they did a top notch job !!! It sure beats working on a concert pad because the rest of the yard was mud.
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!
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
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.
Wow Matt it's looking really nice! I can hardly wait to start building my shop/man cave after the weather breaks! Were thinking alike, since I've picked the same colors and also doing the in floor heat with white walls and ceiling, going to be adding numerous car lifts for additional car storage. I've been buying all kinds of stuff to fill the shop for the last three years, I'm getting tired of renting space for everything! My builder is Paul Marshall (Mr. Post Frame), a really good friend of Kyle at R&R builds, they do the same work as far as attention to detail, I'm getting so excited to start!! Take care and don't work too hard bud!!
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.
Matt, what got me watching your videos was when I scrolled thru TH-cam 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!
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.
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!
Spray insulation if fabulous. and works well to tighten up everything and eliminate drafts. Be careful as there is potential for overspray , especially on garage door channels , will require some extra draping to prevent. Thank u for posting your progress,
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.
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!!!
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 😊
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 👍.
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!
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!!!!
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.
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
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.
"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

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.
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 !!!!!
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.
That tin really does brighten up the place. Can't wait to see what it looks like after you get it all done
At 22:40 “It’s Not your Shop”. Love that quote ❤
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
Looks like a dream !!!
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 😆
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...
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!
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!
Really pleased for you Matt - looks fantastic
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
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...
AWESOME! Love your very common sense saying "It's not your shop". Plus the Semi-Supervillians are AMAZING!
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!
I'm also looking forward to see the crane system installed. Love the channel!
Spray foamed ceiling, but painted black would look AMAZING
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!
Can't beat Kyle (RR) for metal buildings. He shows all the best practices. Your building is looking good.
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!
Nice shop Matt. I built one back in the early 80’s and than it got turned in to a machine shop . The machines took up All my space I’m 67 now and I have been talking about adding on for years so I have space to work on projects. I’m like you I have built my buildings with some help but did what I could to save money. By watching your videos it has got me out of my chair and is getting me excited about getting started on the addition. I thought I was going to retire last year but it has made me miserable I’m going to forget about my age and live my life without looking back . Your do a nice job on your videos. Thanks Gordon!
Thanks! thank you for making us dream, your shop is not just yours, it belongs to all of us.
Knowing that you have succeeded in this titanic feat gives me hope, maybe one day I will too...in the meantime I'll buy you a cold beer. A hug my friend
Some people are bitter and envious of other people’s success - and some people…people like you…celebrate other people’s success. The latter is such a rare and wonderful quality. It’s as it should be.
@@matthewjohnston1400 thanx bro, i really appreciate that😉👍
@@matthewjohnston1400 Doubt that anyone is jealous , bitter of someone else's success.
What people forget is that this is paid for with income from youtube and for and you need a lot of loyal followers.
Without followers, there would not be a workshop of this size.
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!
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.
Coming along nicely Matt. That’s a nice shop! Can’t wait to see that bridge crane.
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.
Thanks again Matt. Things are coming along nicely, albeit slower then expected. Happy for ya to finally have a shop!!
Matt your shop is amazing you should be proud as I'm sure you are I myself am making a big leap this year as I am building my wife and myself our dream home at almost 60 years old.
Can't wait to see the overhead crane install
FOAM Insulation....When they get done closed cell spray foaming the roof cavity I recommend you spray paint the foam as soon as it cures, I had several buildings foamed roof only and the ones I didn't spray with latex paint shrunk back and started to gap at the rafters. Also anything that you don't want ANY foam on you must cover as it is a pain to clean and detail after the fact. That's my experience, results will very with contractors and the mix they use....I was also in South Texas and the roof area was subject to high temps
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!
22:42 "Not your shop" You are right sir. But it is my time. Good luck in the future.
The plan all comes together ...always a good feeling! Very nice Matt! 👍
A toy shop to die for, so envious , live life like you mean it !!!😎
Woooohoo, another update. Love this series! Keep up the great content Matt 👍👍
Matt I would change absolutely nothing if your shop was mine. It’s perfect!
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.
Bollards. Overhead doors and exterior corners.
Great build so far.
Amazed at your ability to do so many things well ! Congratulations on your dream shop.
The shop looks great !!!...Radiant heating - the best !!
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
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.
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
Had a shop with sizzler trusses and added a drop ceiling to it. Lasted 2 years and and pulled it down, Sprayfoamed it and and open trusses. Much nicer. Keep doing what you are doing. Great video string.
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!!!
I think the shop looks great it took a long time but having guy's doing the job that ate one of the best I gotta say that the crew that did the concrete they did a top notch job !!! It sure beats working on a concert pad because the rest of the yard was mud.
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!
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
Really happy for you man. Great looking shop.
"It's not your shop." Damn straight Matt. It's yours and your build. Nice job!!
“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.
You Sir, are a perfectionist and a very clever young man. Brilliant stuff.
Wasn’t sure what to expect with the internal sheeting .
Yes indeed it looks pretty good Matt .
"Some of you may not, but its not your shop." 🤣🤣Those are words to live by right there.
Hey Mat, shed is coming along nicely. Viewing from down under
You made a good point about the doors. We have metal roll-ups at work and with their frequent use they constantly break down.
Wow Matt it's looking really nice! I can hardly wait to start building my shop/man cave after the weather breaks! Were thinking alike, since I've picked the same colors and also doing the in floor heat with white walls and ceiling, going to be adding numerous car lifts for additional car storage. I've been buying all kinds of stuff to fill the shop for the last three years, I'm getting tired of renting space for everything!
My builder is Paul Marshall (Mr. Post Frame), a really good friend of Kyle at R&R builds, they do the same work as far as attention to detail, I'm getting so excited to start!! Take care and don't work too hard bud!!
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.
Matt, what got me watching your videos was when I scrolled thru TH-cam 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!
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.
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!
Spray insulation if fabulous. and works well to tighten up everything and eliminate drafts. Be careful as there is potential for overspray , especially on garage door channels , will require some extra draping to prevent.
Thank u for posting your progress,
Man, what an awesome workshop! It's really coming together- great job Matt!
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.
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.
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 😊
Great work Matt. I'm interested to hear your plans for utilities like power, water and sewer.
That all looks fantastic, Matt!
You're correct- it's your Shop, your $, your way.
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 👍.
One of the few channel intros I don't skip. Supervillains 👍
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!
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!!!!
Love the work and videos 😃
Thanks! 😀
15:25 Always remember the old saying - "Measure once, cut twice"
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.
RR building does amazing work. That guy is top notch with his buildings!
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
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.
Matt, the shop is looking awesome. Thanks for sharing this video 👍👍👍👍👍😾🫠🐺
You bet!
So muck Progress in 1 year it Looks Great, the inside look BIG & BRIGHT with the Tin on Thanks for the Wonderful Video Matt
Well I was going to bed…..
Me too lol not now

@@Dragonballguy270 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.
"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
It’s amazing how much the white reflects the light and brightens it up 😊😊
Paint your ceiling spray foam to match your metal panels. It will keep your foam from getting orange and will look great for years.
