Building Restarts! Blocks go up on Fortress
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ย. 2022
- Finally, It is nice to actually get something accomplished on a weekend and to finally see growth... Thanks to everyone's help, here on TH-cam, Patreon, Sparks Motors, Mail in support, I have a bunch of materials to pound out the Fortress Project!
Saved a lot of work and time having D and the boys bringing all that product up and loaded on the roof.
You should check with Home Depot about a sponsorship. Or at least a good discount for mentioning them.
Your the wizard man this English boy loves checking in with the moutinfortress
bro your view is the ultimate what a place to build your fortress .the fire messed up alot but you have good spirit .
When you said you had "tricks for moving large objects alone", I was immediately reminded of the man whom built the Coral Gables coral castle in Florida. He built a castle alone and then moved it all by himself. Multi-ton blocks of coral with levers, ropes and pulleys.
I'm watching this video on 26/06/2023 - a bit late for comments but I do enjoy watching how the fortress is progressing and all the clever engineering ideas you come up with when using the Design Metal Cutter machine at David Sparks Workshop. Also, all the fixer uppers you do with vehicles and I love it when you go snow bike riding into the hills looking for undiscovered caves, who knows you might become a rich billionaire, but monies not everything in life, just as long as you are able to enjoy life itself, by being out in nature and get satisfaction when you complete a project. You will feel a great bliss of joy when the Fortress is completed. Hope we see the END from the BEGINNING. So keep going Wizard but don't wear yourself out - always take time out for yourself. Just looking at all those tires they would make a good concrete or even clay dirt with straw filled wall around your edges of the mountain where you are filming this on the sunday, to prevent others going over the edge LOL!!!
Wizard,
Inspiration and perspiration is the only way to go, in order to fulfill dreams.
Keep the river flowing my friend.
HAY BUDDY
keep going building one block at a time it will finish ya doing great chin up buddy Australia love's ya work
Be good to see time laps of bloke laying going up , grate job
You did a great job finishing your cleanup and your Castle is coming along quite nicely. My thoughts and prayers are with you every step of the way Alan. Keep up the good work and be careful up there 👍✌️🇺🇲
Coming along nicely....just takes time
Bad news about the fire but that veiw from where the shed was is Awsome
Hard to believe you do almost all of this by yourself! I know you are, but its hard to wrap my head around! Never give up, and keep up the positivoty! ❤️
I love the idea behind your castle compound its freaking cool. Just a suggestion while you putting up your blocks you should have a camera set up somewhere showing the process being done like a fast pace montage or something like that. But other than that keep up with the work it looks great
That's a good idea
i agree, show the progress happening. and if you talk about it, point at the things that have changed, so people can at least imagine it easier.
That would be neat to watch.
yeah, I would love to see him do the actual work too, not just talk about what he is going to do and then cut and then show us what was done. Setting up a camera on a tripod from a slight distance with 'time-lapse' mode might be cool to see a few hours of work condensed into a few minutes of time.
Yep I agree!
Nice block work, it’s looking good. Thank You for searching for DR. ❤🌻🌻🌻
That place is going to be awesome when it's done.. can't wait.
That view man. One look at that view, and I understand all this work and persistence. 👀👀
Thanks for the vid. Stay safe. Jim Bell (Australia)
I'm always impressed with Alan's drive and determination. What he's doing is pretty incredible.
Imagine if he put that much effort into something productive
@@DavidJohnson-hg1mz look at what he has... Obviously he's been productive. Do you have a mountain fortress? Or a fleet of military vehicles? Maybe even some blisters on your fingers? You a scrub brah.
@@DavidJohnson-hg1mz imagine living your life.
Found you from a recommended video about your fire from heavy d. I'm sorrry for what happen and i'd love to help out but I'm in a bit of a rough situation right now financially myself. So instead I'm going to put your videos on repeat and let the ads play all the way thru to help you via your YT monetization. I know it's not much but it all adds up and it's the best I can do to help right now. From the couple I've watched already, I can say that I love your spirit. You're truly an amazing person.
Made it thru every one of your videos. It's great to see how far you've come. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see more!
definitely need a ski lift
I can not wait until you get it finished, wind tower as windy and high up on the mountain top that ingenious thing, Solar panels also, I live out in the flat land Around 900 miles east of you and I have wanted to get a wind power( Wind mill) also to be self efficacy of my own, for not relying on the power companys for electric.
Loving all the positive comments from the fans. The wizard really has a lot people pulling for him to get er done.
Seriously, if a coordinated schedule could be worked out, you could really have a volunteer work force for a month. Not too many at once, but maybe 10-15 people a day. The wizard volunteers?
Think about it.
Good luck with everything your doing
very happy to see you living your dream and your hard work
So exciting for you, and us, to be honest 😆 👍 adventure amazing.
Life's worth living when your plans and dreams come true
Alan, have you ever seen the "Marty T" channel here on TH-cam? I think if you and Marty ever met, you'd be friends. Marty is a homesteader in New Zealand. He generates electricity from a water-powered turbine made from an old washing machine and has a bunch of heavy machinery that he has salvaged or has been given to him in a sort of "if you can get it running, you can have it" manner.
Keep up the good work mate. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
Every time I see your videos showing the view around you I’m impressed. I would constantly be distracted but you’re probably used to it by now. Great to see you charging ahead. 👍
Great job
Your project is ‘ Totally awesome ‘ Alan.... the amount of work you have got through is amazing. It’s going to be great. 🇬🇧
“Sleep tight” hey how did you know I was watching this right before bed the wizard strikes again!
love ya Allen keep up the hard work
Much love from Kentucky, I love watching yall Utah boys
Glad to see more block going in, Wait! we didn't see one block going in, Hmmm! must have been the block fairy.
Love watching this come along. Good job.
Keeping you in my prayers.
Thanks Alan, great to see more block work going up, your such a hard worker!! Take care 👍❤
Great to see you going forward Alan. Take care!
😃 GREAT to see you building again! Looking forward to seeing more videos of your progress! 😃
Love seeing the progress!! And the Loading, Please Wait shirt is perfect!! Need to do a Mountain Fortress Lab edition.
Great to see you moving forward
Allen, you are an inspiration! That place will definitely be a Fortress when your finished! Thank you for sharing!!!
Its a credit to you for how much you do after for what you have been through well done .
You have so many projects going I don't see how you are going to get em finished.
Best of luck and I hope you get a lot finished next year too.
Gday From Australia mate ❤ the videos, damn shame about the fire but good to see you staying strong and moving forward.
Love to see building your dream again. You have the energy of an 18 year old
You work hard. You deserve much
If memory serves from school days the evenly spaced up and down effect your going for with your block work are called Castellations. Good to see you getting back on track mate blessings from England.
Such a cool down to earth guy! So mellow. Glad to see the building begin on the fortress. Looking pretty good.
Hey Alan, you're doing a great job on the Fortress, and if you want to plant some trees then you can check out the Arbor Day Foundation and they will get anything for the location and state you're living in, but they will ask for a donation ( which isn't bad, just a couple of dollars) and I got twelve trees for a ten dollar donation which they are a good site to check out, but keep doing what you're doing, thanks for the update on the Fortress, you're getting her done brother, good job, thanks
Hi Alan , I love watching your videos , once you have progressed a bit and is settled ,you should get people to volunteer and stay over for a few days , whenever you dont help out DaveSparks. You should also start a "backpackers" , let people stay over (very basic accomodation , gas stove shower and bunk bed , that way they can pay you something per night.
There will be hundreds of people doing road-trips via mountain-bike,bike or car that will come for the sleep-over . . .and you get something out of it.
Peace from South-Africa.
I hope your luck turns around now. Fires are so horrible. Wishing you steady progress going forward.
As an architect here in utah this is great! I’d love to build a fortress like this for my permanent living with my daughters! As a single dad I’d love to have a place that this day in age and the scary state of our country and the world thst my daughters could know is here and safe for them aside from my home in the middle of the city I live in .
Man I'm waiting always for updates, I love the view and also the project.
Been waiting to see the progress! Keep up the hard work mate great to see more content! 👍
Hi Alen, we have been following your progress with your fortress build. Absolutely fascinating. My brother and I are the owners of the Maine School of Masonry. Our building season is slowing to an end for the winter. My brother and I would love to come out and give you a hand with laying some block. Feel free to leave me a private message if you are interested in talking more.
Alan I'm glad to see the Fortress moving forward in a positive direction. You are a exceptionally hard worker
Awesome Alan, keep going your doing an amazing job
So wonderful to see the progress on the Fortress! You are indeed a wizard the way you can figure things out! You’re a great example and inspiration to many!
God bless you and keep you safe during these extraordinary times ❤🙏
👍keep going...
Can’t wait to see the final rendition of this keep up the good fight brother I will be watching 🤙🤘✌️👍🙏
This man is what dreams are made of.....correct me if I'm wrong
You don't get a respected "handle" like Wizard for nothing ! Excellent content, and I am convinced you can do anything !
Timbo
With the wind and wind gusts you have at the fortrest wind turbines for power will be great and there's the new designs ,they have ones that don't have big propellers , but instead look like columns and the wind goes through slots instead of large blades! Pretty neat, so recommend you take a look at all the new ways they capture the wind you might find something you like ! Great job, keep up the hard work!
I have had trees play dead for 2 years before coming back, I don't know your patience level, but keep watering them regardless, at least if you expect them to come back. After 3 years it's totally fair to give up
Alan look forward to watching your videos there great. Have a super day. From Michigan
Glad to see you are building with cinder blocks, I am reasonably confident those are not going to get destroyed by fire
I do believe that you are going to have the most spectacular view in the world. Wow, I can only imagine the stars. Amazing project, thanks for sharing. You are doing great!
Wow you have done Soo much work!! It looks really good. When you showed where the old shop was, I was amazed at how clean it looks now. Good job!!! Your an amazing and awesome person. I love watching this build.
Much love from the Ozarks 💕
fantastic to see you working again brother. you should give us a short look at your doing what you do best. raw footage of you laying the block would be really cool!
Keep
Up the great work Alan 🤙🏽🇺🇸
What a view..!!
Nice cleanup, now you can use the area again, maybe a new building you say before?
Good weather to...here in north Sweden summer is over....and I head north for school....:)

So awesome to see the progress update!
With all that wind 🌬 your turbine will need to be speed controlled. Thanks for your posting.
Coming along very Nice Alan Slow but Steady
You're a hard worker, Alan. The fire area looks nice. God Bless You! ❤🙏
Good to get another update Wizzard Alan. Things look much better in the burned warehouse area. Glad you're getting more blocks done, I'm sure it helps you in keeping your momentum going. Sending Prayers and hopes for continued progress. 💜

You are an inspiration to all how watch your channel, you are a WIZARD!!!!👍👍👍 MUCH❤ 2 ya brother!!💯
good to see the building of the fortress again
Dude, your attitude is amazing. You actually inspire me.
Go Wizard!
You need to put smoke up those tunnels down the bottom of the mountain to see which one connects with the basement/ventilation shaft
I am so happy for you. You work with some of the nicest people on YT and you bring a unique style and vision to your own channel. Enjoy what you bring any time you have time to bring it.
Good to see you working on it again. If you're using all thread make sure to bend the end to make your own J bolts that way they won't spin in the concrete when you really torque down on them.
great to see you back !
