Awesome build. You should make the mechanical safety for that door a high priority, though. Oh, and your diagonal brace on the end door is the wrong way. 😀 Generally, diagonal braces on gates, doors etc should run from the bottom of the hinge side up towards the top of the free hanging side as that's the diagonal that wants to get shorter as the door sags. Although, in this application it probably doesn't matter.
Your right! I saw that neat video of the explanation of where to place a brace and makes total sense. Yes a brace for the door once open is the next step 👍
Thank you for sharing on Xmas, some of us find this time of year really difficult and this is a beautiful distraction and inspiring. Can't wait to see what you create in this amazing space. Cheers from Colorado 🪅🎄
only thing i’d add and do different.. add a vent at the roof.. so when the large door is closed on a windy day, you can still get air inside and out when one side door is closed. add a heater.. would be cool to work on a cold rainy day while inside comfortable. lastly, which is part of the heating.. make it air tight.. prevent dust and debris from entering, not only animals and insects.
Use aircraft wire from HF to hold the door open. You have those vertical rails, attach them to the highest point, then put an eyelet and use a heavy duty carabiner to clip them on. So you use the rams to lift it, then clip the wires on. It is really cheap to do something like this. I have like 25 bucks into some support straps I needed to make for my shed.
The paint on the inside wasn't too thin. It was either too cold to be painting or overnight it got cold or it was just applied too heavy. You can get a Zahn cup to measure the viscosity. Then you just look up in the manual or a similar sprayer for what tip they recommend based on how long it takes the Zahn cup to break its steady stream. I really only use it until I get to know how the paint is. After that, its fairly easy to repeat. With your mixing stick, pull it out of the paint and sign your name with run off. You will see it sit on top of the surface for a second and melt in slowly when its uncut. Once you thin it with a little water, the surface tension is less and it normalizes faster. Use the cup a few times to get you where you should be and then test out what I am talking about with trying to "write" something in the paint with the stirring stick drippings. Pancake batter is kind of what I shoot for. Thick chocolate milk if the spray nozzle is really small.
You should invest in the plasma cutter attachment for your forney welder and I’d definitely weld in some extra bracing for that front door even one right in the middle would probably do it with a few branching off at the top and bottom .. Nice job other wise .. Thise horse mats would work well on top of your desk shelving as well ..
Came out great. Tech tip: Those Diablo metal blades work much better and last way longer on an actual metal saw. Metal saws are much lower rpm than wood saws and the blade won’t generate as much heat which is what kills them.
Big door is sagging in the middle. needs bracing which will add weight. By watching the cylinders struggle with door as is you may want to consider hydraulic
Definitely want to fix that sagging, I think I’ll add a triangular trusses like bridge using light weight tubing and see if that works. For the lifts, in the video I’m lifting thr door with one cylinder at a time, so once I tie them into the same air line it shouldn’t be difficult for them. But everything is up for change just learning as I go! Might add 300# gas struts to each side ($43) as well
That door on the side could work forever and maybe tomorrow fall on one of your family. Anytime we make something unproven, we have to absolutely think of the safety of others and not about just what we want for ourselves. Maybe a steel arm beside each jack where you lift the door up slightly higher than the resting position in the up position and then lower into a hook in a slot in the arm. The slot would have a pin on each end, one a hinge and the other a pin that rides in the slot and falls into a cutout at the end. In a manner somewhat like a 2 post car hoist. Please remember you have something unproven over time and in heavy winds and you seem to let your kids wander around it.
Great project and well executed. Hope it works for you and if you ever decide to move house at least you know you can bring your workshop with you! Are you going to weather seal the doors? Have a super 2025!
Since you have small children, please add mechanical stops to support the weight of the hinge-opening side. I would suggest something that functions similarly to how a hood prop-rod works, but with clevis pins at both ends so that if the wind grabs the opened side and lifts it temporarily it doesn't cause the supports to fall out before the wind lets go of the side again.
just an idea for you ram jacks holding up your wall roof. I know they should stay open on their own, but as a fail safe you can add a C chanel or something on the ram cylnder and then let then crack them loose to put the weight back on the "shim / block c chanel" and the body on the jack. Im not sure if that makes since to ya. Ive seen it down beofre and it would just be a safety thing and peice on mind so that door would never have the oportunity to fall on you.
or even a drop down leg on eeach side or in the middle. kind of like some of the 270 awnings ive seen. i know it would be some what in your walk way, but it would get rid of the sag and be a mechanical fail safe.
Very cool setup. I would do this just to get an editing space away from all the kids and noise in my house! haha. Its so hard to focus being in the main room trying to edit.
And that’s not a rude thing either, id rather not be around them if im trying to work on something like editing then be there in the room but not paying attention
@@OverlandUnderBudget Exactly. I hate feeling like I'm ignoring people. But the reality is I'm a terrible multi tasker especially with noises and voices. If 2 people talk I hear neither of them. Then I get nothing done and still ignored someone😅
@@OverlandUnderBudgetit also would be cool to try a counter weight on the top edge of the door like a smoker. 🍗 might speed up the opening time and take some of the load off of the pneumatic pistons.
Gran trabajo, tú forma de acometer los proyectos me resulta muy inspirador, el emplazamiento de mi casa dentro mi terreno también me condiciona bastante a la hora de hacer algún tipo de construcción
Hope the lack of toe-kick under the toolboxes isn't going to be a problem. With the height of the rollaways I can see why you omitted one, but when I've had to work at counters without toe-kicks it isn't pleasant.
That’s funny! I didn’t think of that toe kick, so maybe that won’t be an issue for me. It was overall hight that i wanted to make a priority. The lowest drawer was something I was thinking might be annoying but so far it’s not
For power, I’d like to add small power pole, like a rv hook up almost right at the back of the container. But im all working on solar and a lithium house battery option to
I am an engineer, this is such a cool project ! I would have reinforced the inside of the wall with some steel tubing structure, you can see the bending moment in the middle of it when you open it, I wonder why you didnt do that
Hey thanks! Which wall exactly? The main door that opens? Or the roof line where the door attaches? I think when I add the pitch roof I’ll add some tresses to the span the door attaches too.
@@OverlandUnderBudget Yeah I think some triangular trusses on the main long door would help, you could also do some sort of wire pull assist from the top. The majority of the bending is happening at the center, closer to the ground portion of that wall from what I can see. Anyway I do rocket engines and not shipping containers so I hope this not so technical advice helps lmao
Neat use of the space, and constraints you have. I see you forbid hyperlinks. I was going to show you something useful. But I'm fresh out of fucks to give.
Oh definitely can make projects in any place, I’ve been working all my own just on the dirt! Haha. But this makes it much more sustainable for me and my personal life. I have a family ect, so this makes it way more efficient… not to mention no more working in mud, or rain, not having to haul tools in and out from under the house 🏠.
That's cool but the BIG door needs some kind of ratchet lock system on both sides because the door drop would be like a car crash.
Yes sir! Planing a support
Yikes someone didn’t watch the full vid.
@ he literally adresses this in the video my guy
@@itzbishop5256 What if we stopped trusting struts to lock things?
@ someone get this guy a helmet
Totally appreciate you showing what tool options and blades you’re using!
I love this, add some railings to the roof and its gonna be a nice relaxation spot
Wow, that looks nice. My hat Off to a young man.
Well thank you sir! I appreciate that, merry Christmas!

Skateboard dolly is a necessity - killed it on the build 🧰👊
Thanks man!
Watching from Vancouver Island 🏝️🇨🇦👍
Dude! I'm jealous! Very nice container shop!👍🏾 Great idea 🤔👍🏾
Looks like not only did you build a cool shop.....You had fun. All wins!
ah man, this looks super good!
I'm pumped to finally have a work place!
Thank you for sharing on Xmas, some of us find this time of year really difficult and this is a beautiful distraction and inspiring. Can't wait to see what you create in this amazing space. Cheers from Colorado 🪅🎄
Ah absolutely! Merry Christmas, if you can’t be around family and loved ones, hopefully you can get some time enjoy nature or get outside
Merry Christmas Jason!
BIG inspiration. Great build, buddy!
Thanks Bryce! Your film making is pure inspo to me. We need to get a trip in!
Love the build the work benches are next level love the use of the horse mat I believe you said
You make it look EASY lol ,but very cool, your a talented man
Thanks man, merry Christmas!
Happy Holidays from Wisconsin
Merry Christmas to you too, and Happy New Year!
Watched the whole thing. Ended up looking great, good job! Merry christmas! much love from Argentina ♥
Thank you!
Awesome work! Glad to see more TH-cam videos
How cool is that! That is a great idea
So dope. The use of the skateboard was cracking me up 😂
That is the coolest thing I’ve see for outdoor storage. Get the door a backup support incase of a hydraulic failure.

Pretty dang Sicmods bro! 😎
Thanks bro!
Thats a dang cool shop you built
The comment about the door ratcheting lock/hold open is spot on. Please do for safety.
Nice! I like how this turned out! I might have to try it one day!

Dumb. Some people think KISS is just a ghay AF band.
Are you going to do a rooftop patio/deck? Would be cool to chill and hangout up there after doing the work.
Ha it would! So many options. Unfortunately I have overhead power lines that would limit that. But if I moved it to a different location 👍
Looks great, your such a clever little beaver, merry Christmas to you and your family
First time viewer here and definitely subbing. You’re going to blow up soon (not literally)! Lol
Haha thanks man, really appreciate it! Merry Christmas
Very cool.
That is an excellent idea and build,💯💯
The most creative way to use a skateboard! Such a rad video.
dope build
Thats awesome! I may do this on my shipping container!
That’s how I end up doing things. It’s harder finding help than it is to just figure it out myself.

Awesome build, I’m glad you’re gonna put in a secondary safety system, that door would definitely give me anxiety. Keep up the good work man
Came out great.

100% i, I need to start collecting some more actual metal working tools now.
That turned out really nice
Strengthen up the lower cross section of that front door to help prevent it from twisting and putting any lateral movement on those hydraulic lifts.
Very cool build! Could get more weather protection to extend the cover off the door from some truck camping awnings on the corners?

a drop down pole from the door to help support the weight so it isnt all on the hinges would be a nice touch

Wonder if it would work as well having the door hinged at bottom and then using a winch and cable to fold up
Wouldn’t hurt to put some kind of brace across the bottom edge of the door to prevent that sagging in the middle
100% I want to add that. Thinking a triangular brace, with the high point in the middle.
@@OverlandUnderBudget I also wondering if you thought about an electric winch and cable set up to open and close that large door.

Neat use of the space, and constraints you have. I see you forbid hyperlinks. I was going to show you something useful. But I'm fresh out of fucks to give.
You built a tool shed. A shop has room for vehicles, equipment, ORV's etc.
That’s a better description! Or maybe even “walk in tool box” haha

We skipped a few steps didn't we?
I'll just stop here then.
You do you brother 👍
I dont mean to be rude but i think its time to move into a bigger home
Haha not rude at all, we talk about it all the time! Interest rates, and location (schools, family) make it difficult
What a joke. You threw a bunch of money at something. Anyone could use that much space and make projects all day long. Just a vanity piece for clicks.
Oh definitely can make projects in any place, I’ve been working all my own just on the dirt! Haha. But this makes it much more sustainable for me and my personal life.
