- We now have an Elevator for the Backyard Bunker! Visit www.kiwico.com/jerryrig to get 50% off your first crate of a monthly KiwiCo subscription with code JERRYRIG and huge thanks to Kiwico for sponsoring this video. We have been working on my backyard bunker project for about a year now. And Cambry is able to visit for the first time thanks to a Wheelchair accessible elevator made out of a scissor lift.

Finally!!!!!!!
I thought Zack hid the Bunker soo well that even he forgot that it exists.
He hid it in the Metaverse
Doing this kind of work takes time, and the last time he posted an update was right before winter was starting. Can't do much work on it in winter.
He also hid that combustible toilet on us. I can’t wait to see that bad boy fire up.
😂😂😂
The sissor lift puts the lotion on its skin .....
i work as an elevator technician, you could solve the wobbling problem by adding secure side guide rails on the shaft and on the elevator cabin you could add rolling
guide shoes (wheels). also, you could add a safety killswitch on top floor and on botton to disable the extra course of the elevator, making it stop at level and accepting only commands on opposite direction.
edit: since the elevator is a double entry, and upon close inspection of available space, you could also use a Sliding Guide Shoe. my idea is to apply T shape rails on the back side facing each other and add supports beneath the cabine. the problem with this is that needs a guide rail oiler to keep the rails lubricated or you risk the inside inserts of polyethylene to break due to friction
I was thinking the same thing, even a beefy linear rail would take out a lot of the sideways movement as it doesn't need to take much weight
I think some rails with delrin pads on either side would be a simple low maintenance fix
A single C profile with a polyethylene/teflon/whatever sliding shape installed on the wide enclosed side of the elevator would be my choice.
@@kingconcookielinear rails in that size and length would be super expensive.
@@empty9360 How expensive?
I really love that he's showing us not how he could afford to do it if he really wanted to (ie. A mid range elevator being installed by a professional team), but instead showing us how it can be done on a reasonable budget for someone who actually wants to do this.
He's fudging his numbers though. Or ignoring all the "givens" he has- $3200 is not including the cost of the forklift he's using, all the helpers he's got who I'm sure he's either not paying or not including their wages, etc. Just raw materials.
@@TheIansanity With the telehandler I agree, but the helpers are not really necessary. You could do this by yourself or maybe with a friend, he's just using helpers probably because of time constraints or something. It just makes it go faster, not necessarily better.
@@TheIansanity he said previously that he isn't fully disclosing the price once the project is done
@@r.k.15no he didnt
@@Tehkezah Well, also he said he paid 3000 for the handler, then had those pieces of steel laser cut, and the cost of cement, and other hardware, the rebar, etc......that all cost more than $200.
Hey, engineering student here!
Just a quick note on the concrete: Usually it is not recommended to drop wet concrete from such high heights. By doing that, the concrete doesn't stay as coherent as in the tumbler, thus by dropping the wet concrete it creates air gaps in the concrete slab, thus reducing the strength of it (unless it is a self compacting concrete, idk what concrete you used). I don't think that this is significant considering your loads, so it should be o.k. But take that in mind for the next time and use a thick hose or sth similar to pour the concrete!
Love your project! Cheers!
Who would have thought! That’s very interesting and it does make sense. I’ll have to take that into consideration when I’m building my own superbunker complete with elevator, or anything else that would need concrete like that. What would be the ideal technique then? Concrete pump?
Ideally you use a tremi chute with a flexible canvas hose, solid hose versions are used in underwater placements. They are often referred to as an "Elephant Trunk". Although there is debate over how much free fall placement of concrete affects the strength of it, if at all.
For a slab however, I'd use one just to prevent the material from getting everywhere.
I worried about the same thing, I'm hoping the working of it helped get rid of most of the air.
oh that's why they pour it with a pipe
In this situation, would vibrating it help?
The scissor jack was an incredible idea for a makeshift elevator! This series has been a blast to watch.
Thank you!
It is cool. The only thing I would add is guide rails and rollers so it doesnt move as much.
Agreed...I have seen these easy for $2500, and an affordable elevator Dam, never thought about this.
@@JerryRigEverythingjust a quick question.. what is the pipe called used to make the bunker?? Do they also make 90 degree bends?
It looks unsafe to me a safety inspection should be done before sending people down his makeshift elevator. I worked in the construction industry and when you build stuff to fast without any safety inspections things go wrong. What happens when his elevator stops working and she cat get out? He said 100% safe= nonsense. She already feels unsafe in it she knows whats up.
Your channel really lives up to its name, I wouldn't have thought to jerry rig an elevator from a scissor lift.
Mustie1 did that in a barn to get to a loft. He's kind of a hack, too. ;-) er, resourceful.
It's an impressive degree of resourcefullness on display
I think to maintain alignment and side knock. Maybe Jerry could opt for those Teflon or hard nylon plastic strip for the side bump while the lift is moving down.
Back in the day he did all of the sketchy projects on another channel called Zacks Jerry Rig. So glad he has turned this back into a true "do all the things" channel with his home and family.
Cambry always brings something more to the videos. She is super beautiful. I feel like a big kid and can't wait to see your grandsons kids running around in there.
I like the wheelchair lift. My wife ended up in s wheelchair for over a year. My task was get my wife to the main floor of our house. I ruled out ramps and chairlifts. A wheelchair lift was the only practical solution. My task was to design, engineer, and construct an elevator shaft for the wheel chair lift. I did it under a week. This around 25 years ago. I took precise measurements. Then used CAD for the design. I had a cut list for every 2x4, 2x8, piece of plywood. It took me one evening to buy and cut the lumber. Then another evening to build it(I borrowed a neighbor's nail gun). I was only off by one 1/8 inch. The elevator installers where able to install the lift in one day instead of two. The installers praised me for the shaft and joking offered me a job making elevator shafts. I was proud of that job.
On your safety box. Our wheel chair lift had a similar box. People will grab the upper edge of the safety box. So you need to have enough space between the upper box edge and the elevator shaft to prevent pinching of fingers. The shaft had to be be something like a ~1.5-2 inches bigger then the box on all sides. I recall this anti pinch design feature of my elevator shaft vividly 25 years later. Check on the precise distance, It was range, they wanted a big enough gap not pinch fingers, but a small enough gap so you wouldn't stick and arm in it.
Best wishes, Kurt
Jerry should put handles on the inside, and maybe some grooves to hold the wheelchair slightly in place
use REVIT for this? lol
I know it might not be as simple as just doing it but I would have made the floor that she can access the main floor. I think whatever way people make it work for themselves is great though I like that everybody can find a way they're comfortable but everyone also can have different ways of making that happen
If I ever have the blessing of helping someone who has any type of disability whether that's a stranger or a friend family member or spouse. I will be so grateful and do whatever I can within my power to make their lives easier.
Wow, Mark Zuckerberg is so jealous of your bunker right now.

Poor Mark.
He has to live in a billion dollar mansion without a bunker.
He's a robot, he just uploads his consciousness on a hard drive to survive.
mark is jealous by the fact he isnt a robot
He just re-spawns on the Cylon resurrection ship.
Thanks for the tutorial Zack! I was literally about to do that but I didn’t know how!
pfp checks out
Lmao
i was so frustrated with climbing up and down my bunker shaft, now its going to be so much easier
Dude, I just saw your top comment on LTT the other, it's freaked me out lol
@@austist Hate they don't make fire houses with a pole anymore. Drives up the price of a pole since they don't make them now. Stripper poles are to short.
I vote to have Cambry in more videos 🖐🏽. She's a gem
Construction GC here, that fiber glass rebar will soon become the standard. It’s hard to convince the old head engineers to accept that is a better option than the tried and true steel. Easier to work with, no risk of rust in a wet environment such as a car wash, cheaper to transport and stronger.
I remember reading that Duroplast, the fiberglass-esque material that East Germany used to build the Trabant back in the day, was twice as strong as steel, and my first thought was "That's gotta be bull." But now I'm starting to think they weren't kidding.
When he mentions its stronger, what does he mean exactly? More tensile strength? Strong as you certainly know can mean a variety of metrics. I hope its not just “stronger by weight ratio” like some other materials are often said to be.
@@stevethepocketit might still be bull. Im not certain, but my immediate concern when i hear phrases like that is that they might mean “stronger per weight” like how titanium is often said to be stronger than steel. But with the titanium example, its only stronger if theres more cross sectional area. A 1” round piece of strong steel is still stronger than a 1” round piece of titanium, just much heavier. A piece of titanium of the same weight, but much larger in size, is stronger than steel, but size constraints come into play in a lot of engineering situations.
So yeah, i think its possible that this fiberglass rebar is really strong, but im not going to immediately accept it as true until i can research it further. Theres a good chance that that stronger claim should have some sort of asterism beside it.
A massive dam we built used tons of fibre glass rods for ground stabilization to stop the hill side coming down on the access road and access path, the only thing we really used steel for was the toes of the dam but that was cause it needed to tie into the concrete toe and concrete back of the dam.
If fiber glass can be used for heavy duty applications like that I don't see why it can't be used for smaller things like this, plus it's really nice with how much lighter it is and not having to worry about scratching paint and protective coatings like you get with steel.
It might be stronger but is the thermal expansion the same
I can't wait for this bunker to be fully completed
Same! It's going to be sweet
And after that we wait for the zombie apocalypse 😅

After being in a wheelchair for 31 years . I was 21 years old when I lost my legs at my job. I had my house built in 1996 It is half in ground. 6200 sq ft. If I would have known I would be living alone I would have not made it so big. It is so hard to clean for just me. I love the things you have done. I made my house all one level . To get out the back of my house I have a elevator that goes up only 5 ft. I wish I could sell my house an build another one. I love your channel I been watching your TH-cam channel from when you built the bike for a girl and you end up getting married to her.
I really appreciate that you always convert the nubers to metric. Makes the video way more cohesive for non Americans
I really appreciate how thoroughly you've planned the accessibility aspects of this project. My Mom is disabled, and as I'm sure you'd agree, not all accessibility features are created equal. A ramp on the side of a building with no other considerations inside. Or an elevator inside a building, with no way to actually get in said building. I've seen, and had to struggle through, so many half-assed "solutions". Your bunker is more accessible than most government buildings. The elevator, a raised flat floor, and the omission of raised bulkheads at the doors, all things you could have done differently. But you went above and beyond for the sake of others, great job!
Well yeah, that's what happens when you're designing *for* someone in a wheelchair, not just because government goons say you have to.
to be fair, it's not "others, it's his wife lol. it's her home too.
I swear, some "wheelchair accessible" ramps I have trouble _walking_ up.
I love how the captions describe all of the grinding and metal working sounds as “music.”
Heavy metal!!!!
I'm pretty sure you voided the warranty
This is amazing! As a wheelchair user, I loved how you turned that lift into an actual elevator! Very clever! Can't wait to see more.
Really nice solution, maybe to make it more stable (and less sketchy) you could make some linear guides down the sides of the platform to stop it from wobbling around. And if you want to be extra safe a dampening system that limits the maximum speed of the elevator so it'll never come crashing down.
That's what I thought, it's a bit too wobbly for my liking, bit worried that it may get caught on the side wall as it goes up/down
i really think this is step one. Like he said if we built it all exactly how they want it, it'd never get done. So get it in and working. That's a huge helper for continued work furnishing out the bunker and bringing materials up and down without giant bungee cords. I would bet the final lift will be smooth and stable but that's the fun watching it all unfold to see what he actually does with it.
The cylinders usually have a restricted orifice on the return line that limits the lowering speed.
If you cut the hydraulic line off of the cylinder, it wouldn't go down any faster, just make a mess.
@@shanegill25 I meant a dampening/safety system that will catch the platform should the hydraulics or the scissor mechanism ever fail.
Just let it wobble, it isn't a daily use public elevator. It only needs to work the few times you need it. You could make it more solid, but the time and $ could be spent on other things.
Cambry makes any video better, she is honest and ruthless, and yet kind and enthusiastic.
A bunker in the backyard is literally one of my want to have projects in my life, not kidding. Been dreaming already for more then a year about it.
I got a question. What does a bunker need? I know the basics like ventilation, toilet, living space, and lighting. Got any ideas how to advance it up?
I had the honor of modifying my buddies house after a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from the waste down.
To tackle the problem of getting him from his shop in the basement to his bedroom on the third floor ?? Well I just welded up a platform with a steel enclosure made of galvanized fencing panels. I hooked it all up to a 5 ton winch and with coiled flex cable I hooked up the controls on the inside. It worked like a charm and it’s been 40 years since we built it and he still uses it today. The whole thing cost around 900 bucks as I recall. Great video!! 👍❤️🌹🇺🇸
Shop built a special lift so motorcycle mechanic could still work on them. He had a dust up on his bike. Made a platform so he could still ride while on his wheelchair.
Now you can 3D print a snake cage for the wire. I don't need one, but why not just in case in 20-30 years. Already moved the walls so I could have wide hallway and large doorways. Second story so you can ride top to the attic is a different challenge i'm looking at. I also have curious cat system detector needed.
@@robertsmith2956 well, good luck on your project !! 👍👍🇺🇸

Damn I think Jerry is the future CEO of Vault-Tec
Uhh that's not a great compliment....
@@iambear.6526 there’s still time, maybe he’ll be the cool version and not do experiments on dwellers or start a nuclear holocaust.
But what about Zack?
Jerry and colinfurze
He'd need a hell of a lot more shielding and depth to be building a nuclear bunker. Still an awesome project though
Dude, that tool to twist up the wire on the rebar around 6:10, I've had one of those in my toolbox for several years now, and have tried to figure out what it was for so many times! 😂 I literally paused the video, went out to the workshop and grabbed it to make sure, and it's identical! 😂 Thank you!
😂that is wonderful
It’s a hose pick to loosen rubber hoses lol. I use it everyday as a mechanic.
I have a pile of them because I pick them up at estate sales. They only cost 2 or 3 bucks new and almost never wear out.
I'm a contractor and for some reason they're my favorite tool also.
I bought some spinners you pull to do the same thing but I still like the original more.
😊😊😊😊
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it.
You two are so amazing together
Hello Jerry,
That scissor lift is beautiful. Years ago, I removed the spiral staircase to the basement and replaced it with a forklift. Actually, only the lifting part, of course, my elevator doesn't go that high, but high enough to cover one floor. Works great and everyone was amazed at how simple it actually was. Now I can easily get to my basement with the wheelchair.
Good luck with building your bunker. However, as a disabled veteran with two Purple Hearts, I hope it never gets to the point where you need it. But hey, it's a strange world we live in.
Bro is so capable and intelligent. As a straight man I am not looking for a husband, however I’d like to think he would take care of me.
As a straight man, I'd take him as my husband.

The best husband could ever have. He show appreciation and care so much. He literally put blood sweat and tears into the work to show his love
That was my thought. Guy tries to do a lot for his wife it seems like.
Save those Drive Motors, they make really good winches.
You can use a couple pieces of c channel to take that wobble out. mount the c channel to the walls and have a rod with the follower bearing in it.
That aluminum is going to be loud.
You might want to throw some rubber mats.
I use super 77 and that non-skid shelf liner
Thats a great point. I bet they could!
Rubber mats on top of sound deadening would be perfect for that. Budget solution, reduces vibrations and making that wall feel and sound just a little bit thicker.
We all know that loud tinny noise we all know aluminum sheets love to make.
The smile on Zack's face as the elevator goes down with Cambria in it is priceless.
THE BUNKER IS BACK!!!!
wow, super smart idea using the scissor lift!
thanks
@@sys-administrator I don't know where you're from but an elevator for your bunker is probably not something the state would like to cover.
need to install a roller bearing on four side so its slide along the scissor lift without wobbling
@@sys-administrator is this Finland?
You've probably already thought about it, but I highly recommend putting a personal server down there. Load it up with all kinds of media like movies, shows, music, and games. It would be a great off-site backup too for personal storage of pics and videos. All on its own dedicated network so, no Wi-Fi or service, no problem!
That would have to be a very efficient server. The amount of power and heat of a regular server is a bit much.
It's just a computer. Not a server rack.
@@TankDestroyer735 Server does not mean it has to be an enterprise level or high TDP machine. Its just something that "serves" information. A raspberry pi hosting plex/emby is a server. A simple optiplex 65W would be a server too.
@@TankDestroyer735 A server can basically be any computer. In this situation, a small NAS would probably be the best bet. You could easily fit terabytes of storage in it, have it sip power on automation cycles, all while saving your precious data in case of the apocalypse lol (or you know, something normal like your house burning down).
@@ObscureDig Yea I guess even though i run my own little server at home. Every time I hear the word server I always think of something big 😅. Thank you for correcting me.

holy moly
Bring back the series again it's fun to watch
Wow what an awesome, spacious bunker. Looks like you have a huge amount of storage (water tank, dry goods etc) under the floor, too.
Wish I could build something like that, but the water table is barely 2 feet below ground level where I live. Even if I could pump it dry, the "buoyancy" would have it pop out of the ground.
I guess I need to watch a "How to make enough money to buy a house with a huge backyard so you can install an elevator in it" first 😂
This is so damn dope, I fucking love watching this crazy bunker project. cheers man, I'm jealous of you. ❤
That is truly a very clever technique to construct an elevator.
This was a good episode 😊 really made me smile
Fun thought, by having a (lid) plate on the top of the platform cubicle, that gets "left behind" when the cubicle lowers below the surface, will appear as if a simple landscaped part of the normal property lawn (with say for eg: a 3" raised flower bed, for artificial flowers), which hides the fact that there is in fact, not only the cage waiting there, or at the bottom, but that there's a huge hideaway bunker (down there) at all.
The wandering controller, on that lead attached to the platform/cubicle, could be stored when at the top, behind (inside) a small Garden Gnome etc., which will simply stay beside the flowering top plate, when the scissor lift is lowered, because the wandering controller will be with the people going down anyway, so hang it on a hook inside the cubicle, when at the bottom.
Anyone viewing the yard from above, will ONLY ever see, that slightly raised (artificial) flower bed, unless the cubilce is raised above ground level for entry & exits, before lowering to drop the cover plate in position and putting the controller inside the "Garden Gnome - (which just looks the part, just sitting there.
Also, have a "top of fence or higher", backup solar panel recharger, hard wired to a house supply battery charger circuit, which could be hidden across the lawn to be dropped down the shaft wall, to the batteries far below, so that they can be trickle charged all the time, (even if there is a major power cut, at any time) in consideration, that after the novelty wears off, the scissor lift won't be operated 24/7, and daylight solar can then be used - whilst a nightime house supply trickle charges at night.
It's a clever & brilliant repurposing of an almost scrapped machine, yet a very cost effective alternative, to a conventional lift that as you said, inside you house, cost several thousand dollars, as that one for all it's high cost, possibly isn't as "cool" to operate as your make-do lift.
Oh and when you "sell the place" you won't even need to tell them about, your very own secrete and totally private "get away"...
Unless caught creeping across "their lawn" one night?

Kid: But mom. His fort is sOOOO cool! It's like mine craft and...and..
1:03 well no wonder Menards hardware store uses a lift (order selector forklift) as a makeshift elevator lol. They've got one in a fixed place in a shaft they built to reach the first and second floor. That's crazy how much money that is for a residential elevator. You are very smart for going down this route. And so is the Menards CEO or whoever whoever made that decision. The thing is Menards is the third biggest box store hardware store with Lowe's and Home Depot being first and second. Obviously being a commercial business they can only do so much to fit in with code standards but using a scissor lift as an elevator for your own personal residence... You can a wire up call button and all sorts of fancy stuff that they wouldn't be able to do at menards. Another words, a raised and lower button on each floor, wired to the vehicle (scissor lift) Great idea. You know it really brings Jerry rigging to the next level with what you came up with! (Edit): meant to send 10 dollars but whatever 2 dollars works I guess
Thank you!!!
Local thrift shop uses a custom wood box/platform lifted by their forklift as a freight elevator to the second story, works great
