All hand digging now complete as down to the bunker will be done from above and so will the car port, thank you all so much for supporting this project. Its not totally finished but feels like a milestone for sure. Get your Tunnel prints here, there nice n cheap in this expensive time.www.colinfurzeshop.com
First like on this.
This project is so sick
Second comment here
Love the bunker series ❤❤
😋😋😋
This series just proves to me that Bruce and Alfred could have totally built the Bat Cave themselves.
absolutely
nah he hired moleman on the DL
Well, when do we get the Batman Netflix series that's just Bruce Wayne digging a cave for three seasons?
@@cameron7374 Can we have Alfred swearing his ass off non stop like Fred in this series? And like, that's the origin story of Alfred being so well manered and polite later, he exhausted his lifetime quota of swears while building the Batcave.
In the comics, one version of how the Batcave came to be is exactly how Gus got the underground lab started on Better Call Saul. In both cases, the workers were brought in, had no idea where they were, did the digging, and were very well paid.
Colin is the epitome of a child who never grew up but has all the means to live out dreams.
And we love that.
all your words are true :D
Imagine how cool it is to have a father like him 😆
Oh, he grew up alright, he's married, with heir, has a house. He just bit in the whole adulthood thing and said, "ain't having that".
i want to do this, and i think i know the maths needed to do it too
Wait… so he’s Peter Pan?
Collin's neighbour is the most talented barn yard animal imitator I've heard in ages. LOL
E
What a wonderfully crazy neighbour you have! He seems to be getting some 20 years younger when he is let down in your tunnel. 😆
E
The tunnel of youth 😂
I think Colin might be the more wonderfully crazy neighbor XD and so true lmao
Longest and most interesting series on TH-cam. Colin you’ve outdone yourself congratulations on your secret tunnel
cheers Alice
Interesting.... yes!
Longest series... you've never seen "Project Binky"
I'm a little nerdish so the longest series I'm watching is a D&D campaign, 100+ episodes currently by VLDL
@@The_Shiny_Red_Dingus_of_Mingus I came here to say that :D
Its not longest
I'm pretty sure that temporary tunnel end needs to be painted to look like the tunnel continues (the type of mural Wile E. Coyote uses to try to trick the Road Runner).
Also: congrats on finishing and thanks for all the amazing entertainment you've brought to us along the way!
Or a mirror will do a similar job.
so just a picture of the actual tunnel and place it on the end.
Mirror
@@Nathan93Baker You would see yourself so that doesn’t work.
@@Nathan93Baker then you would see your self breaking the ilution
My favorite part of this video is Colin's attention to detail is every avenue of his life. He apologizes for the mocked up carboard house model not being to scale for him to explain his DeLorean car lift. This man is my spirit animal.
Bonus it’s also a reference to back to the future
@@skyleredenfield I like that fun little touch
I still cannot believe he not only managed this but went through with it all the way... Dude is sealing his name in history as the MADDEST man to make something.
One of Colin’s best lines at 11:00 “tear the carpet up, giggity”
It wasn’t just me that heard that wtf
This neighbor Is exactly the kind of guy you need at work, because he is lifting the mood. Love him!
it'd be real spiffy if you had a cool wall in one of the finished room that was see through, like a plexiglass thing with a sturdy frame, so you could see the rocks surrounding ya, maybe you could even add lighting to frame it, who knows, either way it'll be a beautiful result, and great work so far, keep it up :)
Probably end up with a lot of cobwebs behind it
@@LochyP definitely, but that'd probably be cool in and of itself

Hed have to dig out the concrete he poured around the tunnel
We NEED more of Freddie, man is a legend
It's impressive that Colin's neighbor is somehow more chaotic than Colin
I still can't get over the image of the cement mixer rolling up and Colin just being like "yep pour it down the hole in the ground don't ask questions"
🤣🤣🤣
Wut
I expect all the concrete guys who have delivered have seen the video's.
The editing required to have the old lad is well worth it.
Can you do a video running through the cost of the entire project? To really get an in-depth understanding of how much work, money, and time you've put into this insane project?
Probably not because of sponsors
Honestly i just want to know how much he spent on steel bars and sheets.
Construction and engineering wise this is the best DIY series on TH-cam! Simply amazing. Congrats Mr. Furze.
This is likely the single most impressive feat of DIY. So many different disciplines of trade work utilized, so much planning and a perfect finish at the end. Stunning!
The property value is going to be insane
There is a dude here in Spain who made his own little Cathedral over decades by himself. Anyway I love this project and is a huge feat.
I was following the Marble Machine X project, but Martin gave up on all of the progress he had made, so I needed an actually productive project like this to cheer me up!
Iam impressive
@@luis4290 Please, give this man more ideas.
It’s crazy how dedicated he is to this
Especially when it's super creepy
If summats worth doing, Its worth doing properly!
Wouldn't you be if you could have a frickin' bunker under your property? 😁
it’s funny and most 10 year old’s idea of cool
I mean if you give up now you have a tunnel to nowhere, no?
I'm a little late to commenting, but as far as the plan for the car lift... I like the idea of a hidden lift system, like a spy movie, something contained within the garage that you could then drive off of and into the space below the driveway. In my mind, this system also has a false garage floor that automatically goes into place when the lift is underground.
Would be absolutely hysterical to see a car drive into the single wide car port, the garage door closes, then have the door open and another car drive in lol
I'm so stoked to see you build that underground garage. I hope this project never ends!
I really want a uncut, uncensored version of Freddie's presence in the tunnel, he's just an absolute Legend😂
Definitely :D
I only came to the comments to say exactly the same thing. Definitely need an uncensored Freddie
To bad I'd wouldn't be on TH-cam.😂
@@the_explorer4600 I'm pretty sure he's got a patreon though.
@@sambrown6426 yes but then only certain people would be able to watch it.
Started as a tunnel project, now Colin's planning a whole batcave!
Insane stuff, Colin you legend! Living out all of our boyhood dreams
The Furze Cave !
Hi Colin. Long time viewer, first time commenter. I love how you progressed from wacky machines to massive engineering projects like this tunnel. My suggestion is to leave one of the tunnel ends open so the rock wall is visible and maybe cover the end with a thick glass panel or plexiglass. Would be cool to see the rock face in an alcove like that to remember how it all began.
Also, the steel wall panels have perfect frames for mural paintings. Perhaps you could get your kids or neighbourhood kids to start painting these wall sections. A bit of color on those black walls would be great.
Have a great day Colin! You are an awesome engineer!
Around 6:20, you're right. Leftover buildings (and more specifically their foundations) create a barrier, which means that the moisture cannot go up nor down.
This is actually really useful to find archaeological remains and ask permission for a dig.
This man is a genius
DO NOT POST ANY REPLY! DO NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT TIMEBUCKS OR I WILL REJECT YOUR SUBMISSION, JUST THUMBS UP AND THATS IT!
Good
Hes an alien.
Nice 👍
Wow
I think it'd be cool to have a small section of the rock wall exposed behind glass all illuminated.
It'd be a nice nod to show what kind of ground they had to remove.
Yess, that's a great idea!
Excellent suggestion!
You could have your DeLorean drive onto an oval shaped cog platform that rests on the lift and is turned around by another identical (reciprocate) cog beneath the surface. Alternatively, you could use a giant drawer slide along the wall of the space connected to the platform by a hinge, which could pivot the whole thing 180 degrees. You'd want the connection to break vertically, but not horizontally, so it can allow the lift to separate from the wall slide thingy, then engage once it's been lowered. Just a couple ideas.
E
this guy is making my childhood dreams true and i want one lol
Something I would love to see in phase 2:
Those exposed rocks looks so cool. How about making a window with a fake cave? Add some rbg lights, some fake dinosaurs bones, etc. I'm sure it would look rly cool
Absolutely. Commenting to bump this.
Fake dinosaur bones? How about fake dinosaurs?
Oooh that'd be really cool
Yyooooo that'd be awesome
100%
You should have pictures of every single one of your inventions/ videos framed on the walls of the tunnel, would be a great addition and almost turn the tunnel into a memory lane going from start to where you are now
Like baseball cards for his inventions
Uuuuu what a idea
No actually it should be digital a video wall digital signage across the entire length
@@jp34604 the method is up to him, you all get the jist though 😂 take a stroll down memory tunnel
Sounds like the hall of memories from Mother 3, and I love that idea.
I’m a builder, done quite a few foundation digs in my time but this, this is a monumental amount of work to do by hand 👍🏻
i am a civil contractor and i agree. to think that the project was completed with just a crew of 1 or sometimes 3 or 4 max. it is impressive.
You (In my opinion) really need a window with lighting behind, to 'show' the rock while in the Garage. Does not have to be large, but something for looking 'outside' I guess. Cause everyone needs a window in their Garage! I also think you should include a sump pump for emergency evacuation of water just in case. While you can still include it into your design for if a leak or flooding were to occur. Love what you have completed there. Just amazing!
Will need something to battle the condensation and cleaning of the window from the rockside
@@EvilGodXLjust well... he could copy the design of airplane windows to combat condensation, or just make the window removable so he can clean it from time to time... a refurbished skylight from a boat can do the trick
I think we need more of Freddie, we definitely need an uncensored version with all the outtakes of Freddie on this project.
I think it could be a video series in itself.
That is a good idea!
It's been said that a man that swears has more intelligence. I know a little bit, and I have a Dad that was a sailor, and had a brother that was a radio man in the Navy. Cursing comes naturally for me.
11:02 "tear the carpet up, giggity" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Just came across your channel and literally binged all 10 videos in 24 hours!!!!! This an amazing feat! You made it all look so easy and effortless. But I'm sure there were plenty of bumps in the journey. Can you make a blooper video with all the problems you may have encountered? Thank you so much this is just awesome!!!!!
Me too. I’m laughing watching going. Why???? And then think of the Time as a kid I started digging. And then other kids showed up one at a time and just started helping. No questions asked. We just kept digging. This was so fun to watch.
If you watch his other videos you'd know why. He's an absolute madman! :D
Freddie needs to be in more videos he is hilarious 😂
Gives me big johnny vegas vibes
He certainly keeps the editor on his toes.
Yeah i agree he is awesome :D
Too bad they need to bleep everything out though, but yeah TH-cam would make everything age restricted if not.
Freddy is rad dude. 🤙
We need a unedited version to learn some of the colorful vocabulary that Freddie can share with us!
And subtitles, because non-native speakers as myself wouldn't understand a word! :D
All he said was fuck lol
@@gregorius8289 probably whole lot of "bloody"
This is the best series of vids i've seen on youtube for years, love love love the tunnel digging vids, very simple solution reverse on to the drive like i do every day lol
“Tear the carpet up, giggity.” You thought we wouldn’t catch that one?😂😂😂
When it is completed, you should get an Estate Agent to come round and value the property, and film them when you show the entrance to the tunnel!
This makes me wonder if the bunker is now considered a basement connected by a tunnel instead of a bunker and a house on the same property
@@CollinThegamer I once read it'd now be the opposite. the bunker + tunnel cobination would value higher than the house.
He does address this question at the end of one of his other videos. He said that he has to sell the bunker with a house and not a house with a bunker
actiually he said in one video that he would have to sell the house with the bunker not the bunker with the house
I bet the bunker and the tunnel probably are probably valued the same as the house itself
He's like a 12-year-old who knows plumbing, welding, and has all the resources and skills he needs to bring his crazy ideas into reality. Definitely one of the more unique maker creators on YT for that reason.
Colin is adult Phineas and Ferb and it's amazing .
Just watched part 1 to 10 again for the second time, enjoyed as much as the first. Absolutely brilliant tunnelling! What about an underground swimming pool??
I will definitely watch more of this project but I have already benefited just watching you work on it. I was frustrated just a short time ago but now I am feeling motivated to be productive and not let obstacles get in my way.
You could test your system for lowering your DMC into the ground by creating a smaller version of it next to your shed to raise and lower your lawn mower and even build in an additional rack to hold garden tools, weed eaters, etc, etc. and you ( if I am looking at your drawings correctly ) would be able to build an underground access to this lift right off the tunnel just by adding a door. This would also provide a larger lift system to get some of your heavier objects underground. I absolutely can not wait, but will patiently do so anyways for the videos to come! C'mon 12 Million Subs! Cheers Colin, you're the greatest!!!!
Fantastic idea.
Why the lawmower when he has a hoverbike ore a drift trike
does anyone remember the launch sequence of thunderbird 2? choosing the right pod? This is, what has to happen here!
@@max-gras really the ideas are limitless
No matter how stressful this past year or so has been, I've always found great comfort at the thought that somewhere out there, Colin Furze is digging a secret underground tunnel from his shed to his house. Thanks Colin!
For the Delorean part, what you can do is have the turntable above ground before the car goes down the scissor lift. That way, it will be facing the right way once underground.
Genius.
With the scissor lift instead of having the drive bit on the top raising up, perhaps it should slide making it less obstructive on the surface and easier for a horizontal shift rather than a vertical one. Also in the parking room under the ground you could have conveyor belts to move the parked vehical horizontally and rotate it away from the side and have the conveyor belts move it back to the original position.
I love how you've gone from wolverine claws, flamethrower guitars, and mag boots to a full on luxury apocalypse bunker with spy car exit. This is amazing as is and you're just getting yourself going.
If the room is large enough, the second car space could also be used for car repairs. For that matter, you could have a trench under the car parking spot, between the lift, again for maintenance and repairs. Whatever lift mechanism you install, just remember you’re going to want to be able to service it eventually.
So he might need to add a turn table down there so it could drive off in to a different repair zone
The Neighbour swearing it the most funniest part of the video 😂
“Tear the carpet up, giggity” destroyed my diaphragm
This guy is the absolute opposite of the trend of making youtube videos short and with the least amount of effort and i love it
Wasn’t until I saw that pile of rock / dirt that I realized how much earth y’all had moved. Incredible job.
I would love a virtual reality or 3d walk through of the whole thing to get a sense of scale of the project! It's been a blast to follow!
One thing that I love about Collin is definitely his humour, love how he acts like a young kid while still being adult
The neighbor is totally amazing, love to see him as a recurring member.
Tunnel to the neighbors bunker? Love him he's a riot🤣
I second that, he's hilarious!🤣🤣
dudes in his tunnel one day heres digging to see the neighbor dig through and he wanted one too lol ngl if my neighbor was digging a secret tunnel id be a reoccurring member aswell lol
And don't cut out the swearing 😂 I love it 😂
Your neighbour is a well fitting addition to the Furze Mining Company! More of him please!
5:08
I came to say this. That guy is great.
He sounds like Johnny Fucking Vegas
I love the neighbor!
I think your car lift system should come out of the ground when you want to drive into it or come out of it, and recess back into the ground, with an unassuming garden outdoor seating area on top (Like a Secret Entrance) that lifts up int the air. This way, it's not some big industrial looking garage thingy in front of your house. Also, maybe have some warning system/lights flash when you come out, so people stand clear, but make them also blend into some serene garden like setting (again, not industrial looking).
For the garage, I think the best thing (not the most practical) to do would be to have a circular platform that raises and lowers. On surface level there would be a rectangular (so as to not make awkward shapes on the ground) platform that opens, much like escalator doors but horizontally, and beneath them would be the circular platform (raised). Then as the car is parked on the circular platform it starts to lower and when there is enough clearance the rectangular doors close. After that the circular platform starts to rotate underground (preferably before it reaches the bottom, but there probably will not be enough height unless the up and down motion is very slow) and voila! the car is in position.
I have no clue what the purpose of something like this is but the full grown child inside of me just absolutely finds this to be amazing!
In this day and age seriously?
The mancave need not be questioned!
@@kevinmasters7189 are you suggesting this would be a nuclear bomb shelter ?
@@brain8484 could be used for a number of things

@@demarcuscousinsthe65th ? he is british my guy
Totally pukka completed tunnel (phase 1), and I love the idea that it's just too much trouble to reverse your DeLorean... so build an underground turntable. That easy! Beeootiful!!
Someone may have already recommended this but what about turning your car before it lowers into the underground garage it will probably have more room above to turn and will save using turning space underground
Yes.
I can barely believe it's been two years, feels like yesterday when the first shovel of dirt left the garage
Been longer than that, he only TOLD us two years ago! :D
Just in time for the apocalypse 👌
It’s so true!
The fact that we have come along with Collin for 2 years is incredible
I'd recommend you look at modern aircraft carriers and how their lifts work, since they essentially do exactly what you want to do with the car port. Older types load aircraft from the middle with a ratchet mechanisim, newer carriers go from the side with two arms running alongside the ship.
As for rotating the car, you might be able to get away with a SMALL scissorlift in the middle of the main lift, that props the car up and turns it around, without having to turn the entire lift. (which is probably going to weigh several tons!)
Indeed - I was thinking along similar lines, though perhaps the easist way to do the car rotating and 2nd car fitting is if each car is parked on a "pallet" - when it reaches the floor the pallets own wheels have tracks to run in that allow it to be driven sideways for a second car parking spot or just a little sideways into the loop for a rotation. Each pallet could also be pinned into angled rails on two of the walls (parallel to the front of the house) so the lateral translation to bring the car up central to the driveway while allowing enough space for rotation down below is all handled as the lift progresses.
Agree
11:50 “fully equipped with my safety squints”😂😂😂 I’ve done this while plasma cutting and welding it doesn’t really help much
I have thoroughly enjoyed each video and found them all so inspiring. I have a 2 acre plot to consider tunneling away. I do have an excavator and a large open area so can do it from above for that part. Under the driveway will need tunneling out. Thanks Colin for the great work you shared.
On the last bit about the Delorean in the mine shaft, it would be amazing if you could keep that esthetic in the underground car park. Whether it is repurposing the removed rock as a facade against the metal plate, or if you could somehow freeze the natural rock in an epoxy resin.
like a batman grotto
I predict a batmobile in his future.
This needs more likes. An epoxy resin over the rock would look amazing.
The neighbor (Freddy?) is absolute chaos added to this nutters project and I’m here for it.
That is a scam btw I think
You got to keep your neighborhood just him cursing his head off I think is the most funniest thing in my opinion please keep him he’s hilarious
lmao he said gigity when he said pull the carpet up🤣
This project has been my absolute favorite on TH-cam by a mile. What a joy to watch.
This is a really good project but i’m hoping he sells all the rocks and dirt at the end to see how much money he got from it lol
I bet every boy has dreamed of building a tunnel in their backyard at some stage. Massive respect to Colin for turning that dream into reality.
Pretty much 12 yr old me in 1998
I have build my own tunnel/cave in my parents backyard, i think its still there
Es simplemente hermoso, una obra de arte 😍 felicidades por tu gran trabajo, la pasé genial viendo cómo construias el túnel y aprendí muchísimo con las explicaciones que dabas en los intermedios!
Really massively impressed by this whole series! As far as the lift is concerned could you plausibly use a bearing on a scissor lift for the rotation similar to the Hulk buster bearings? I appreciate they are almost certainly mega mega expensive, so you maybe able to engineer something.
For the underground garage your rotating mechanism could be made to stop at 90 degrees to allow you to store the cars in the left part of the garage (left in this video). You should be able to store 2 cars that way and you could use that mechanism that car wash places use to move the cars on the lift and into the parking spaces without having to drive it.
This would be a sick idea!
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂
Look up "Railway turntable" on wikipedia. That's basicly what you want, on a lift .
The only thing better than this video series is knowing that they will continue for YEARS given the scale of what you have planned, I can't wait!
If you need more tunnel and bunker digging in your life feel free to check out mine, or not up to you. Cheers
I can’t wait to see the tunnel go all the way to the bunker and the underground car port is finished with the lift I’ve never been more interested in something on TH-cam as I am with this, this is my absolute dream house and bunker along with the tunnels if i could afford to buy all this and move in I’d definitely pack up and move to the UK in a heartbeat this is amazing keep these videos coming and thanks for sharing them
So a civil engineer here. A turn table at at the bottom makes the most sense for turning, however as you pointed out you can’t put it right up against the corner. A solution would be to have the turn table be a rectangle slightly larger than the car and have a rail type slide under the tyres so it can be moved easily from left to right. This will mean you’ll have hydraulic powered turn table with slots which engage and disengage most likely with a screw, so a mechanical system like a quick release for a vice. This will allow the turn table to turn and have the slots stay with the car and move, then reengage to the scissor lift. I would suggest the scissor lift have those slots engaged in some fashion again with the quick release system, I can see having another platform under the car which is independent of the turn table be what lifts the car up. This could be a hydraulic ramp from a garage, could be easier but I couldn’t say. The other thing is getting that close to the main road the highways department of the council will want to know and make an assessment so you don’t cause structural issues to the carriageway and foot way. For the mapping of where cables are etc ask your local council for stats for your house and road, it’ll be a small fee maybe 20 or so for the maps and this will allow you to see roughly where the cables are as well as who owns what land etc. i don’t expect a reply but if you do I am a real civil engineer for a local council and I’d be more than happy to give free advice because this is very cool so just message me and we can go from there
“We started on this project 2 years ago”
When he said that I had to pause and collect myself, feels like just a few months ago he posted the first tunnel video.
The last two years have been the longest, quickest two years I can remember
This tunnel malarky has got to be one of the most eagerly anticipated viewings ever to appear on youtube. You're a legendary geezer Colin Furze! 👍
I'm no expert, but my advice on making your garage lift a reality whilst getting the full 360 rotation you are looking for would be to make the elevator a disc turntable, or at least have the mechanical lifting sections be disc shaped with wheels/or runners of some kind on the sides and bearings/freespinning joint on the bottom. get or make some spiraling circular metal guides (like the kind of guides garage doors use) spiraling 360 as it goes upwards on the inner of the elevator shaft and on the supports for the shaft. If you had a system like this it would allow you to turn your car 360 degrees without having to spend extra power/machine work spinning the platform, all you would have to worry about would be providing the power to push the lift up and down. Be it with hydraulics, pneumatics, or winches of some kind. The freespinning circular platform and the rollers spinning with the guides would turn the car 360 using only the energy pushed on it by the upwards/downwards movement. If this doesn't make sense, the best way I can describe it would be like the rifling on a gun, the spiraling metal guidelines in the elevator shaft moving the wheels along with the platform as pressure is applied by the lift, turning the turntable. Heck, if you line up your car right and give enough room for the car to turn before it fully makes it to the top, the entrance/exit could even be rectangular even if the lift itself is circular, as long as the car clears and lines up with the exit before fully popping out of the ground/going underground. Hopefully this comment reaches you, and if It does I hope any of it makes a lick of sense. lol
"The safety squints". Haha! Make sure there is an eyelash line of sight to deflect all detritus.
Honestly this is I think every lads dream to do and even as an adult it stays with you. Watching someone actually do it and it being just a normal bloke makes it so much more real. Can't wait to see the continuation of the project.
if i die without a tunnel/bunker under my house then i died a loser
I love the neighbor hahahah
If colin ever ends up selling his house, the buyers are gonna be in for a treat
He said in a previous video he would never sell it. Although his children or grandchildren might.
he said in a previous video he never plans to sell it, but if he did he'd have to sell it as a bunker with a house attached rather than a house with a bunker attached
sold!
Would be worth a fortune, as in the U.K. it would be have to be sold as a bunker/tunnel complex with a house attached

This build is absolutely incredible! I want one!
What a great series this is Colin, you are a legend. So many possibilities for the above ground area not to forget ur mini golf idea, or a patio, pergola, citadel, shade housey morning tea type area or even a botanical garden highlight.
I would suggest keeping any structures light & maybe using lifelike plastic plants if going this route because they will always look good, wont die (like the bunker area), weigh as much for lifting, or need water.
Turning &/or moving for 2 car access would be a bit of a challenge for ya, but anything is do-able if you throw enough cash and commitment into it. You could consider making two independent lifts and rotators to accomplish this, or build a parking robot that can lift, move sideways, turn & lower for 1 or 2 cars, maybe you could drive onto a custom made tray with small indentations for the tyres to rest & position the vehicles for a robotic parking & turning device. Sounds like a lot of work, but probably not beyond ur scope. Cheers from Oz
Future couple: “This house is perfect honey”
Colin: “oh yeah, theres also a bunker with a underground tunnel system connecting the shed, house and workshop with a hidden parking section under the driveway”
And every man that hears that will be like…. SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

@@nicholasarcos5716 the house is just a happy side effect of buying this bunker. We all know we would buy the property solely for the bunker.

Late dad?
@@ToTheGAMES He passed a year ago, not like, actually late... Mind you his time management was terrible 😂
As someone who builds elevators for a living a hydraulic elevator makes the most sense to carry the weight of the car. They don't require a Counterweight and you can bury the piston below the ground and have it telescope up. You do need a room for a hydraulic tank and a small area for the controller. Making it a lazy suzan is tricky because standard Hydro elevators need the platform mounted directly to pistons on either side. You can do a roped Hydro but that takes up more room and you can't put the piston in the ground.
An in ground Hydro with the piston in the center of the platform is your best bet. In order to get the platform to spin you would need a way to detach the platform from the platen plate (top of piston) as well as the guide rails. That's almost impossible. You can't spin a platform on guide rails. So instead of making the whole platform spin why not just make part of it spin. Cut a circular section out of a square platform and build a motorized lazy suzan out of your circular cut out. This way it can spin regardless of how close your elevator is to the wall and regardless of whether it's at the top or bottom. Doing this systems also merits a lot of safety features. You can use IR to make sure nobody or thing is near moving components, so the elevator won't move without a perfect IR signal. Also if the IR breaks the elevator won't move. Basically garunteed safety if you place the IR properly.
The only problem with this is cost vs doing a scissor lift. A fully functional peele freight elevator costs hundreds of thousands at the low end. Millions at the high end.
Just a though. DM me if you want rough sketches or pictures for reference. I take a lot of pictures at work so I have tons to go off of.
BUMP! Hope he notice you!
he could absolutely use a 2 or 3 stage cylinder so the hole for the cylinder so it doesn't have to be so deep. just remember. hes gotta dig all that crap out. I was a millwright at a boise cascade plant, making play wood, we had a hot press. basically, after all the veneer got laid out, it was shoved into a special racking system that used steam heat to press and set the glue. there were two of these presses, with 5, 9 inch diameter piston cylinders each. the whole thing raised up like 20 feet. what absolutely sucked, was the maintenance. it was the oiliest place in the building (because it required so damn much), and if a seal went bad, you had a hell of a project on your hands. but that said, he could absolutely mount a separate frame to this cylilder, and put a rotating platen on top of that. use a hydraulic turner to rotate it.
What a great series. Amazing job done.
Probably most awesome series of projects video channel ever
