With Xmas coming up and it getting cold, get settled in and sit back and watch it all, 10 videos cut into 1 with intros, outs and all but one sponsor section cut so its all free flowing. Thanks to the #furzarmy for loving this project as it was a LOT of work but one of my most enjoyable builds.
Love the videos as always colin! You should collab with Mark rober and stuff made here! I can't begin to imagine what you three could come up with! Have a great holiday!
Colin, the best way to solve your elevator for the car is to have a round lift that turns 90 degrees. You come in at an angle then turn 90 degrees and drive out. Its the most simplest thing you can do. Lift up and pivot below. Things to consider when building a lift like this is who water will drain around it. Thought needs to be considered. The best way is to have the pad when pressed closed to be the catch pan sort of. Much like a ring around it that can fill with water and then a larger pan slides in under it to collect the water then that water is pumped back up to the street level. Its also very unlikely that it will be water tight. The main catch basin could have an open bottom to allow water to naturally soak up.
I know that this won't get seen, but a suggestion for the car lift. You could use parts from a hydraulic elevator to lift the car. Many of them can support 4,000 lbs, and a DeLorean only weighs 2,800 lbs (according to google). Then, instead of a rectangular parking area, make it a circle. That way you could build a turntable with a ring gear, pinion, and electric motor. No big tolerances necessary. The mechanical advantage of the ring gear would make it "easy" to turn the car. On top of the turntable, add some beefy posts that attach to a second platform which levels with the garage floor when the elevator is down, and flushes with the ceiling when the elevator is up. As a bonus, the car can just be set spinning on a slow rotation for display!
As a Civil Engineer who once specialised in Geotechnical Engineering, I found this absolutely incredible, equal parts fascinating and terrifying. I would not have been down there doing what you did but the skill, workmanship and innovation was top class. This is my new favourite UA-cam Video 😀👍
@@JenSavage being inside of any kind of excavation that is above knee height and is not properly secured has it's risks, it's not for me to say if this was risky from what I've seen because editing can make things look worse than they are. He is a very talented engineer himself so I am guessing he had a good idea of what was safe and what wasn't. In parts it just looks a little sketchy to me!
@@onkouth The only part that made me nervous was watching what appeared to be flimsy plastic tote buckets full of rocks suspended above his head being lifted out of the hole.
lemme just say how much I do appreciate the fact this video is 2 and a half hours long instead of being split into a thousand parts coming every week or month until completion. Literally on tears right now because someone in YT actually took the patience and consideration to put all of this together from start to finish so I can bang your whole adventure in a single pass and prolly repeat in the future as with any other good movie I've seen before. Thank you very much, I love you.
See Im the complete opposite.. A 50 year old man acting like a teen with annoying skateboard themed music for 10 minutes but the project is cool I can handle.. This guy is so.. yeah.. I watched 4 minutes before finding a diff video..
This man's dedication and persistance is off the charts. If everyone on earth was like this guy, we'd probably die in a fiery explosion but we would look damn cool doing it.
orr we would be much further advanced into the future just think what billions of colins could do in just 1 year for future tech. that would be scary we would be past Max steal science.
As a person that wonders why ppl do cookie cutter everything. This was a fantastic departure from the norm. And a testament to how you can truly make your home whatever you want to fit your needs or whimsy’s. What an inspiration! Thanks for sharing!
I just want to say I'm a union Ironworker in Los Angeles and I have built many high rise and low rise buildings in my life as well as welded on a lot of steel ! always dreamed of doing something like this and thought of many different ways to complete a project like this . I'm very impressed ! What you have done, this is completely amazing and should be highly recognized ! Your energy was great to watch ! Bet this cost a fortune . I enjoyed watching this thank you for sharing .
Dream no more. You can practice at my house. Hahaha😂 jk. I’m a union pipefitter out of Orange County. Seriously considering taking on a project like this.
Well done Colin. There are too few real engineers out there at the moment but you are certainly a shining example. Your step by step explanation of your thought processes and back of the envelope design should be compulsory viewing for all 'wannabe' engineers. Passing your knowledge on is so important. RTS - retired Chemical Engineer.
I'm sitting here, a 60+ year old woman with my 80+ year old sister watching this video, and we're both enjoying every bit of it. You are an eccentric genius, and I only wish I had your energy, exuberance, and knowledge. What I wouldn't have given in my younger days to have the ability to do things like this. I came across your video purely by accident, but I'm so glad I did. It's been an interesting and entertaining couple of hours.
Exactly! Agree with you! I'm an 88 year old woman who watches UA-cam videos all day wishing I could still do stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed this young man's energy and enthusiasm for the job he assigned to himself.
I'm a woman, age 60+ and Joanne you've echoed every thought and emotion I've had and felt while watching this video. Mr Furze is truly a blessed man to have the capacity to complete a project like this and I have mad respect for him. I would love to spend an afternoon with him, just watching how he goes about his business there. Truly fascinating...
I too am one of the lucky ones that clicks on Suggested Videos from time to time as I'm sure a respectable number of others have discovered your work the same way! What amazing journeys your projects are, and this one I believe tops them all! Just the fact that you (or anyone quite frankly) could actually finish such a massive spunky and spelunky undertaking by hand is beyond my comprehension. . . Congratulations and bravo for such fine craftsmanship and a job so well done!
Colin, great project and stunning amount of enthusiasm and effort!! From a geologist - your fossil is a fossil. Your Quartz is Calcite. Your leaf is stained Calcite and your "dissolved salts" are dissolved limestone from acidic water percolating through the formation. It is not unusual to find barren rocks with just a few preserved fossils (its down to the depositional environment).
Only Colin can make a 2 an a half hour video with no down time full of work music and fun been a sub for so long allways finds a way to do even Crayzer things love watching this guy lots of Love from Türkiye
Colin, I'm impressed very much. However a suggestion for vent tubes. You should consider on top of vent tubes to do an upside down 'U' bend. This will keep any rain, leaves. wind blow dust or particles, etc. out of it. Also place a screen of some type on end of vent. This will keep any insects (bees, wasps, hornets, etc.), birds, squirrels, etc. out of tube. These creatures like strange places to invade or home in. Then do periodic screen checks, to make sure it's still in good shape. Just a suggestion. Also, one or two good fanned exhaust vents, with a few open and non fan vents, should cause the air flow to be drawn in with a good air flow. I enjoyed your video. Though a woman, I am a machinist, have own milling machines, and I too make and improvise needed parts or contraptions to work for me. Though it's a man's world, many woman are into this kind of thing also.
I would use heavy gauge rods to make a mesh tight enough for squirrels. It also works for hand grenades lol. Hide them as clever as you can. Also do heavy wire mesh for mice a little behind the first.
When the big BANG comes, as I’m sure it will, this will keep you nice and safe for a while. You will probably need a supply of oxygen and water though.
The fact that you managed to achieve this spectacular feat while considering your neighbours shows just how determined and kind hearted you are - many people would've just gone hell for leather, regardless of the noise. Good man!
As others have said. Never thought I’d watch 2 hours of someone digging a tunnel. You deserve a tv show. You have the humor and the real skills along with great friends to help you out along with your projects. Awesome video/ movie! Keep it up!
@@Pauldjreadman Exactly what I was about to say… people complain that UA-cam is restrictive and that the algorithm is unfair blah blah blah but working w/ a studio is 100x worse. And you completely lose ownership of your content.
Sometimes it isn't about the what and instead is all about the where. Had he done some digging, laying concrete and welding on the surface it would have been average. But underground and only doing so when no one can hear him. It's way above and beyond the ordinary.
This whole project is beyond my comprehension, the labor, the vast array of tools and equipment, the skill required, the incredible cost of material and the dedication to continue for 3 years without just giving up on the whole idea! Congratulations on the completion? of this amazing project!
I mean, like after working on it for a year, you kinda get to the point of no return. You either put in as much effort to give up on it, or you just keep on chuggin.
To be honest, I have been following this series because I want to see the house connected to the bunker. The tunnel so far is under ground that already has cover from the elements and nosey neighbours, but a tunnel to the bunker means you can get there and back no matter what is going on outside and without being seen. Getting to the bunker is 100% the next project I want to see, please!
Wow, you guys are a sorry bunch. He said he wants to go both ways in the beginning, this is him going this way, then he'll work his way in the other direction. It's his house and his tunnel, who are you?
The tunnel is absolutely brilliant. You fulfilled the childhood dream of every young boy ever. Such a massive undertaking, physically and financially. I applaud you, sir.
It's not a childhood dream for him, the whole video he talks about how he's making a tunnel so people will leave him alone and he can keep working without being disturbed by various councils or other forms of government. Also, he's listening to punk music the whole time. Colin is clearly anti-lockdown, lmfao.
The algorithm got it right today! 😂🥳🤙🏾. This type of content is why I’m on YT…random stuff I’ve always wanted to watch, but had no idea I wanted to watch it. Lol
It's hard to express just how much I love that this video exists. Always wanted to see the full process of someone making an underground tunnel by themselves even though it has no relevance to my life.
My Man deserves a TV show He was able to keep us entertained for 2 1/2 hours while he was digging a tunnel he’s also probably living every kids dream including mine
Does his family actually still live at this house? I thought I heard somewhere that they moved and this house is basically just a big UA-cam studio for Colin, now.
Hey Collin, great job on your tunnel project. May I ask, at the place over the tunnel, what is the thickness of the mass at the thickest point? Also, have you considered Radon Gas. This is created from naturally decaying radioactive material in the soil. This is not a problem until you create a pocket, such as your tunnel. This issue is easily remedied by installing a positive flow vent, venting the air from the tunnel area to the outside air. You can test for Radon Gas hiring a company with the test equipment. A test usually spans over 3-4 days while the equipment samples the tunnel air. Radon is a exciter for cancerous issues. Just something to consider. Rob-
When I was working in confined spaces, we had these little yellow air monitors that would beep at you if there was any bad gas or oxygen too low etc. Think they were only a couple hundred bucks too
I have never seen anything like this which is saying a lot considering the variety of content that is available to us in this day and age. I was left jaw dropped almost every 5 minutes at the level of skill that this guy has to master to get this kind of a project done. One of the best things I have seen all year!
I have an IDEA: The turn mechanism doesn't necessarily have to be underground. Have a circular disk turn the vehicle after it rises. Also, the roof could be retractable, almost like the way convertibles do it, such that when the car garage comes up, it appears minimalistic. This will allow you to insalll a disk large enough to turn two cars at the same time. Also, it will provide a place to park when you do not want the cars to be underground. Now, I want to see you build this!
The thing that stands out to me about Colin, and I don't think this is said enough, is what a hard-working dude he is. This is just an incredible amount of work.
well, it's just a mix of 20-30 min videos, so he just had to make those entertaing, props to him still, but it's not like he did a super long video normally.
Digging is so fun. It's possibly one of the most dangerous practices we humans started doing, but there is a reason we kept doing it until we eventually found a purpose for that (mining).
Colin: We're going to build this tunnel quietly and sneakily without disturbing the neighbors. Also Colin during the first step: Revs up a massive saw that he and the crew needs ear protection for and screams at the top of his lungs "WE'RE BUILDING A TUNNEL! WHOOOOOOOO!"
Out of all the youtube projects I've seen, this is by far one of the most impressive. I thought Hacksmith's giant Alien robot suit was wild but this is next level. I would be terrified to do this, but Collin's determination to do this not only for 3+ years, but also through the pandemic is amazing. Good job Collin, I can't wait to see how the car lift garage turns out!
This was the most massive project I've seen done on UA-cam. The fact that it was practically done by one man ( not to diminish the fact you had wonderful friends to help.) is astounding. Bravo young man well done.
“ONE MAN INDEED”……. 😂YEAH RIGHT!! - IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW THE OVERALL COST IN MAN HOURS “FRIENDS” INCLUDED AND ALL THE KIT AND MATERIALS COSTS…. could probably have built a small WELL EQUIPPED BUNGALOW.
Even if its just for moisture, what about the waterproofing? And the steel will rust through time as well - that concrete wouldn't have flowed around anything like all of it. Also for something like this with the weight bearing down on it, only structural steel should have been used not thin wall bars and sheets. How on earth would something like this get planning permission?
ive been following the tally ho boat rebuild (going on 5+ years currently) and id say that one beats this in terms of scale but obviously the bigger and longer you go the more assistance you end up acquiring.
I followed this entire project and I'm not just saying this, by far the best extended project series I have ever seen on youtube and I watch a LOT of youtube
Colin is simply a credit to the UK 🇬🇧 people like Colin provide the genius that wins wars and innovates new ideas and technologies. Colin you are crazy amazing and I love your nutty channel.
He is pretty much a child with adult money. He is turning his house into what most can only build from lego, and I am here for it. Absolutely amazing. As a side note, he has shot the value of the house so far into the millions by now. A whole underground segment is nuts.
@@cryptospacexxxit6281 That's because otherwise people with loads of money would be doing this all the time and it would be detrimental to a nations infrastructure. Remember that tunnel Elon Musk drilled? That sort of stuff shouldn't just be allowed.
In 1980, Ace Frehley of Kiss bought a modern house in Wilton, Connecticut and dug out the side of a hill and put a state of the art recording studio in it. It was called Ace In The Hole Studio. lol. The studio equipment is all gone but the bunker remains as a car garage in 2022.
Yep, I use them for...anything, fluids, concrete, soil, garbage, mixing, weighing and so on. And they are still as if I bought them yesterday. Tip: buy different colours, you then can keep track of what to put where and you don't have to talk to co-workers. They are idiots anyway ;-)
@@peterchamberlain4448 in the video from over a year ago called " DIGGING A SECRET TUNNEL Part 10 Phase 1 COMPLETE " he showed at 8:20 where it all went.
@@FJB2020 Not everyone has seen the whole journey, this is a good summary for the unlucky ones. I have to watch it all, even though I've seen it before.
@@brokencat2662 There's only _ONE_ sponsor ad, which Colin specified. Its been nice to watch through it all stitched together into one big presentation so far (given that it's only been out for 2 hours, and I haven't finished watching through the entirety of it).
He doesn't look tired, and he seems to be having so much fun doing this activity project. This is so amazing! This video deserves a lot of viewers. You're a great man! Keep on going; you will inspire a lot of people!
I was enjoying the whole video whilst doing other projects. Often, I chuckled, but the swearing neighbor made the whole thing! He was so great. It sucks you had to bleep him out. Is that due to UA-cam rules? Otherwise, stop the bleeping bleeping.
It truly makes you appreciate how projects like this done 500-1000 years ago must have taken SO much time and so many workers to get done. This is 3 years worth of work with great modern tools & knowledge. The catacombs in Paris for instance, the amount of work to dig underground effectively is staggering.
Man hours. Get 12 people working 12 hours a day instead of 1 2 hpurs a day average... its down to 2 weeks. Have 4 teams of 12 on a project like his, starting on, or working on different sections, and youre down to just a few days.
Too late to repent now! Keep the dungeon and tell the dragons they have to be Christians before you let them pass. 😆🇬🇧 Next, the bat 🦇 cave for the batmobile...
Insane, British and brilliant..The UK at its finest in another corner of stuff on youtube so wholesome..all round - that includes 'adds' naturally!!!!!! Killed it. Well done buddy, was much better than the Hollywood bs film i may have watched tonight - I feel good.. Its bill oddy awesome.
This is the best UA-cam video I've ever watched. The time, effort, energy to makes this video above any I've ever seen. As a kid I dug tunnels through a large dirt mound which I thought was so cool. This is childhood dream of many for sure.
Kinda funny you just released this uncut version today; I literally watched the entire series for the first time, video by video, last night 🤣 Brilliant project Furze, can't wait to see the car bit and everything else! May the tunnel videos never end!
If he had permission to do it he would have just worked in normal working hours and let the neighbours know. Like anyone with any house works. I'm sure he is still a sound dude but it's not why he was quiet. He had to keep it secret and quiet so there wouldn't be any objections before he got planning.
@@Tenksen I can see that but its just hard to believe with what he’s gotten away with so far. You think noise and a construction tarp would be the least of his neighbors concerns at that point. Plus he’s doing everything right at least that’s what it seems. But the context I got was he wanted it to be a surprise in the video.. so that’s why he was being quiet about it.
Having watched the original series of videos and now this, I can honestly say the most amazing thing about this project is the miraculous plastic tubs that you used to haul away earth and rock.
It all depends..good ones are made of a strong rubber mix and are tough as hell..proper builders ones......whereas..you get a cheap plasic one from your local diy shop for a few quid and you will probably crack it and snap the handles off in one even slightly hard day.
Colin, the wife (Archaeologist) suggests that the air voids/ cracks you've found could have been where previous structures could have historically existed, especially being so close to the Roman Villa that was found. Also says be super thankful you haven't found anything significant, could have opened the archaeological can of worms and become a dig site which would derail your entire tunnel!
@@SirCaptainSteve Rock takes a few years to form so that’s definitely not a roman floor. If there was mud and goop on top it would be possible but then it would only be about 1 to 2 meters deep.
Colin deserves an award for the most inspirational,crazy and awesome person on this platform. I have watched him for years and he never fails to bring the most epic and interesting content, he does things that no one else would dare all the while cracking jokes and having fun. Thank you so much colin your the best.
He had me rolling and his mate stole the show when he said " and don't forget to follow me on Instagram" I howled with laughter ! What a great bunch of guys and Colin is an absolute GENIUS!
The amount of equipment this guy has access to is amazing. Idk if I’m more amused by the project or the fact he uses his machines to overcome the obstacles that comes with it. Makes it look easy.
Unbelievably incredible, mate. The knowledge required to undertake this project is staggering. How do you know how to do ALL of this stuff, Colin? Absolutely amazing!
Dude that whole project is just crazy enough, BUT you also managed to make an entertaining full size over length movie out of it AND introduced me to some new bands of which I will further check out two! Thanks for that!
During the lockdown some people learned a new language they always wanted to learn. Some people read books they never had the time to read before. Others tackled the decorating, or put up those shelves they bought 10 years ago and never quite managed to get the time to do. You on the other hand, built a World War 2 German prison of war camp escape tunnel, including lights, insulation and air system. I don't know which of us belongs in the asylum more - you for doing it, or me for watching you do it !
And some of us continued to go to work every day just like we'd done before the pandemic and didn't have the time to even watch Colin build his tunnel. But at least I kept my sanity while the rest of the world lost it's collective mind. 🤪
I can't believe you stopped for a year because you didn't want to disturb your neighbours. Mad respect!! My neighbours could take a lesson or two in courtesy from you! 😂
I can’t believe I was enamored this whole video watching you and friends make the coolest tunnel under your property. It was the most amazing build Ive ever seen! I’m late to the party but definitely subscribing and watching the underground garage possibly develop before my eyes!!!!
HOLY SHIT you are one psychopathic badass! i just stumbled onto your channel and Oh my god! thats gotta be one of the coolest things ive ever seen anyone do for a home improvement. Im a welder and an artist/electrician/sculptor/doctor/psychyatrist/inventor… except i havent had a shop to run wild in, in too many years. well you dont want to hear me crying. You asked for ideas about the car lift so i thought id toss you one (free of charge). you can either make it for one car or two bt in order to spin it and still be closwe to the wall you could just create an indention at the bottom of the two walls that meet in the corner of the carpark and the platform would easily spin while clearing the walls. Let me know if that works for you but it seems like the easiest solution. Cheers. i subscribed right away and im about to binge watch some of your vids. i love the way your mind works. makes me want to just start creating shite. thanks again!
Every kid wants to build a secret tunnel or fort, but for most of us those sorts of fancies are impractical in adulthood. Few people have the time nor the financial means, and then finally only a handful of people in the whole world have the tenacity, dedication and stubbornness to see it through. I certainly couldn't do it. Thank goodness for Colin! 🥳
@The Wildlife Photographer What a fortunate fella you are. But please don't tell us anything else otherwise some clever git will make it his mission to put all the clues together and discover the location of your secret house of fun!
A classy retort to that mosquito bite of a comment, if I may say so. Annoying but pretty ineffective as they are, it makes you admire people who put themselves out there like our Col all the more.
This is the first time I've ever watched this channel, and I was so invested in how it was going to turn out and watched it all! He has more dedication and drive to keep going for 3 years! Imagine what kind of progress the world could accomplish if everyone had this guys motivation and dedication to do good in the world!
Hello, I’m an older woman and spend a lot of time viewing UA-cam videos. I just stumbled across your channel and couldn’t stop watching this epic dig under your house!! In the words of my fellow Texans “y’all crazy”! I loved it!
Turning 50 and I felt like I was actually part of this top secret operation, full of laughs excitement and sheer awesomeness. This is like reliving childhood secret strictly by invitation and initiation club nostalgia super sized in adult planning proportions - you gotta be barking mad if you don’t feel the vibe & have a good laugh along the way. Loved this! Let’s do it again!!
bros just casually living everyones childhood dream. Awesome series, watched it all but still went through this whole video in one session cause its just that entertaining to see you have so much passion and love for what you do. Keep it up!
This is absolutely incredible! I can't believe 3 guys designed, engineered, and put into action ALL OF THIS! Not sure why I wasn't subbed to this channel long ago.
Go back and watch some old stuff. Highlights Ring of death ( ladders scare me 🤣🤣) Pulse jet arm burn French fart 💨 Oh so many, watch it all hilariously brilliant
Wow... that was awesome!!! Can't believe I seriously just watched that whole video non stop. To all the bands that played. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Can't wait to find all y'all's tracks and spend hours listening.
I have just one word for Colin and it is "Legend". He is a person who has no limits, I am sure one day he will make a shed and a tunnel on Mars too. Salute to you man, chasing your dream project is an amazing feeling.
I can't believe I watched this entire video! I was captured by the construction details and perfection shown. I spent a number of years working underground with the United States MSHA (Mining Safety) getting our engines approved for underground usage for both normal and gassy mines. I loved going underground but never worked under such pristine conditions shown here. Great video & great work. I can't wait for your next project.
It is amazing how it only feels like yesterday when you started making the workshop hatch and I was thinking "This seems a bit ambitious old chap!" - but here we are. And what a ride it has been. It's satisfying to see a project you worked so hard for so long on finally be done.
It's not a "nice thing to do". It's an *appropriate* thing to do. And he shouldn't be using ANYTHING that can generate *any* noise within any sort of audible range - manual tools covered with white noise, and *_eventually_* increasing the amount of shielding, before proportionately resorting to the use of anything which might lead to an increase in volume. Not a "nice thing".
I concur with my initial remark that you are absolutely bonkers, but in the best way possible. What an undertaking. What you have achieved is beyond impressive. I am seriously impressed. I have been fabricating and involved in building works for decades but I have to be honest and state this is way beyond my skill level. If I hadn't watched the videos I would not have believed such a project existed. What do you do for a living that has given you the many different skills you have demonstrated in this immense project? I honestly do not think there are too many people out there with the ability to undertake and complete such a project. I can't wait to watch your future projects, I truly believe you are capable of anything. Kudos to you and your mate/s and what a cool neighbour you have.
Theres something both hypnotic and extremely soothing about this process unfolding. Very considerate of the neighbors to attempt to do this absolutely silent as possible too, a cool variable to add to this. A pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing.
With how far he is underground, they won't hear anything unless they're right on top of it. And he could just work when his neighbors are at work if he is gonna use noisy generators and such.
I watched all 2h30m in one sitting and i was enthralled. You sir, are a polymath of mining and DIY. Hat's off. Cheers, Well done. And all that! 🙂 Subscribed.
I think the upload of the first video was only a year ago, the timing of the uploads was also very well planned =D but waiting for the next video of about 1.5 months was sometimes very sad and tedious...
Oh man I forgot about putting the extra dirt in the cereal boxes and making the hydraulic shovel! This entire project has been a blast to watch, thank you for being absolutely brilliant and inspiring us to think big, happy Christmas to you and you and your family too!
I’m impressed that the UK government actually gives you permission to do such project. Great work, most men want a fancy car and a super model wife, other men just want a tunnel under their home 🤣
This popped up on my YT feed a few hours ago and I'm still watching. What an astounding piece of home engineering. If there ever was an example of a British home builder "man in a shed" then this is it. You are awesome sir.
This has to be one of the best and most well put together videos I've ever seen on UA-cam. 2.5 hours long and I didn't get bored during any of it. It flowed awesomely and had lots of interesting and funny parts alike. Love the editing as well as the personality in the video. Great job!!!
I've bandied about the idea of doing something similar in my home. After watching this video, it's clear that I don't have the (1) time or (2) MONEY to get it done right proper. This is exceptionally impressive work!
First, I can't believe I just watched a 2.5 hour UA-cam video. This production was captivating start to finish, well done. This is proof that creative visons and big dreams can be realized with the support, commitment, and dedication of a team who work hard to accomplish a common goal. Inspiring video indeed!
With Xmas coming up and it getting cold, get settled in and sit back and watch it all, 10 videos cut into 1 with intros, outs and all but one sponsor section cut so its all free flowing. Thanks to the #furzarmy for loving this project as it was a LOT of work but one of my most enjoyable builds.
Love your work bro ❤
Love the videos as always colin! You should collab with Mark rober and stuff made here! I can't begin to imagine what you three could come up with! Have a great holiday!
Are you going to show any more tunneling videos? Or is the whole system completed
Bloody brilliant mate. Loved the whole process!
Colin, the best way to solve your elevator for the car is to have a round lift that turns 90 degrees. You come in at an angle then turn 90 degrees and drive out. Its the most simplest thing you can do. Lift up and pivot below.
Things to consider when building a lift like this is who water will drain around it. Thought needs to be considered. The best way is to have the pad when pressed closed to be the catch pan sort of. Much like a ring around it that can fill with water and then a larger pan slides in under it to collect the water then that water is pumped back up to the street level. Its also very unlikely that it will be water tight. The main catch basin could have an open bottom to allow water to naturally soak up.
I know that this won't get seen, but a suggestion for the car lift. You could use parts from a hydraulic elevator to lift the car. Many of them can support 4,000 lbs, and a DeLorean only weighs 2,800 lbs (according to google). Then, instead of a rectangular parking area, make it a circle. That way you could build a turntable with a ring gear, pinion, and electric motor. No big tolerances necessary. The mechanical advantage of the ring gear would make it "easy" to turn the car. On top of the turntable, add some beefy posts that attach to a second platform which levels with the garage floor when the elevator is down, and flushes with the ceiling when the elevator is up. As a bonus, the car can just be set spinning on a slow rotation for display!
Imagine the lift with an lazy Susan,it would be cool when the car would be underground.
Add some Xmas lighting to the display setup for added atmosphere. There could be beer too, for grabs! 🤔🤪

As a Civil Engineer who once specialised in Geotechnical Engineering, I found this absolutely incredible, equal parts fascinating and terrifying. I would not have been down there doing what you did but the skill, workmanship and innovation was top class. This is my new favourite UA-cam Video 😀👍
Is this... safe to do?
@@JenSavage being inside of any kind of excavation that is above knee height and is not properly secured has it's risks, it's not for me to say if this was risky from what I've seen because editing can make things look worse than they are. He is a very talented engineer himself so I am guessing he had a good idea of what was safe and what wasn't. In parts it just looks a little sketchy to me!
@@JenSavage Not a chance, but who really cares`?
@@onkouth The only part that made me nervous was watching what appeared to be flimsy plastic tote buckets full of rocks suspended above his head being lifted out of the hole.
@@onkouth Which parts are the sketchiest?
lemme just say how much I do appreciate the fact this video is 2 and a half hours long instead of being split into a thousand parts coming every week or month until completion. Literally on tears right now because someone in YT actually took the patience and consideration to put all of this together from start to finish so I can bang your whole adventure in a single pass and prolly repeat in the future as with any other good movie I've seen before. Thank you very much, I love you.
Yeeees
he has released this in segments..
This is just a complete version.
I know right
See Im the complete opposite.. A 50 year old man acting like a teen with annoying skateboard themed music for 10 minutes but the project is cool I can handle.. This guy is so.. yeah.. I watched 4 minutes before finding a diff video..
@@DNozz777 And yet you still took the time to respond deep into the comments.... I'm 52 and have loved his videos for years.
This man's dedication and persistance is off the charts. If everyone on earth was like this guy, we'd probably die in a fiery explosion but we would look damn cool doing it.
Now we just all die in a fiery explosion, only some of us lookin' damn cool

@@RetroKnifes He got permission for the music. See the original video descriptions :D
orr we would be much further advanced into the future just think what billions of colins could do in just 1 year for future tech. that would be scary we would be past Max steal science.

I just want to say I'm a union Ironworker in Los Angeles and I have built many high rise and low rise buildings in my life as well as welded on a lot of steel ! always dreamed of doing something like this and thought of many different ways to complete a project like this . I'm very impressed ! What you have done, this is completely amazing and should be highly recognized ! Your energy was great to watch ! Bet this cost a fortune . I enjoyed watching this thank you for sharing .
How is he pouring the concrete in new walls when the previous ones have already solidified.
Was thinking the same brother I was a union carpenter always fascinated by engineering and building
Dream no more. You can practice at my house. Hahaha😂 jk. I’m a union pipefitter out of Orange County. Seriously considering taking on a project like this.
@@dreyadreya972This is late of me but I remember seeing him pour the concrete through those pipe holes.
Well done Colin. There are too few real engineers out there at the moment but you are certainly a shining example. Your step by step explanation of your thought processes and back of the envelope design should be compulsory viewing for all 'wannabe' engineers. Passing your knowledge on is so important. RTS - retired Chemical Engineer.
As an engineer, I am blown away at how incredibly smart and resourceful this guy is. Incredible what he builds on the fly. Immediately subscribed!
why isn't he using a jackhammer?
@@tomrotelli1355 he explains in the video it’s because of noise and portability
Someone didn’t see the part where he didn’t want anyone to know what he was doing lol
I was more impressed with the video shots and editing really.
Does anyone guess at cost?
I'm sitting here, a 60+ year old woman with my 80+ year old sister watching this video, and we're both enjoying every bit of it. You are an eccentric genius, and I only wish I had your energy, exuberance, and knowledge. What I wouldn't have given in my younger days to have the ability to do things like this. I came across your video purely by accident, but I'm so glad I did. It's been an interesting and entertaining couple of hours.
Exactly! Agree with you! I'm an 88 year old woman who watches UA-cam videos all day wishing I could still do stuff. Thoroughly enjoyed this young man's energy and enthusiasm for the job he assigned to himself.
@@convon712 you guys are awesome !
I'm a woman, age 60+ and Joanne you've echoed every thought and emotion I've had and felt while watching this video. Mr Furze is truly a blessed man to have the capacity to complete a project like this and I have mad respect for him. I would love to spend an afternoon with him, just watching how he goes about his business there. Truly fascinating...
I too am one of the lucky ones that clicks on Suggested Videos from time to time as I'm sure a respectable number of others have discovered your work the same way! What amazing journeys your projects are, and this one I believe tops them all! Just the fact that you (or anyone quite frankly) could actually finish such a massive spunky and spelunky undertaking by hand is beyond my comprehension. . . Congratulations and bravo for such fine craftsmanship and a job so well done!
Colin, great project and stunning amount of enthusiasm and effort!! From a geologist - your fossil is a fossil. Your Quartz is Calcite. Your leaf is stained Calcite and your "dissolved salts" are dissolved limestone from acidic water percolating through the formation. It is not unusual to find barren rocks with just a few preserved fossils (its down to the depositional environment).
Only Colin can make a 2 an a half hour video with no down time full of work music and fun been a sub for so long allways finds a way to do even Crayzer things love watching this guy lots of Love from Türkiye
Colin, I'm impressed very much. However a suggestion for vent tubes. You should consider on top of vent tubes to do an upside down 'U' bend. This will keep any rain, leaves. wind blow dust or particles, etc. out of it. Also place a screen of some type on end of vent. This will keep any insects (bees, wasps, hornets, etc.), birds, squirrels, etc. out of tube. These creatures like strange places to invade or home in. Then do periodic screen checks, to make sure it's still in good shape. Just a suggestion. Also, one or two good fanned exhaust vents, with a few open and non fan vents, should cause the air flow to be drawn in with a good air flow. I enjoyed your video. Though a woman, I am a machinist, have own milling machines, and I too make and improvise needed parts or contraptions to work for me. Though it's a man's world, many woman are into this kind of thing also.
I'm not into this kind of stuff personally but i enjoy watching people who are. It's nice to hear from women who like building stuff!
I would use heavy gauge rods to make a mesh tight enough for squirrels. It also works for hand grenades lol. Hide them as clever as you can. Also do heavy wire mesh for mice a little behind the first.
When the big BANG comes, as I’m sure it will, this will keep you nice and safe for a while. You will probably need a supply of oxygen and water though.
The fact that you managed to achieve this spectacular feat while considering your neighbours shows just how determined and kind hearted you are - many people would've just gone hell for leather, regardless of the noise. Good man!
He's like a modern Tim Taylor.
I’m impressed by almost everything in this video….but I’m particularly impressed with the handles on those tubs. 😂
As others have said. Never thought I’d watch 2 hours of someone digging a tunnel.
You deserve a tv show. You have the humor and the real skills along with great friends to help you out along with your projects.
Awesome video/ movie! Keep it up!
He did do Furze World Wonders which was for UA-cam Red but it's definitely filmed as if it's a TV series.
This is a TV show. A traditional TV show has too many restrictions.
@@PauldjreadmanCD-R
@@Pauldjreadman Exactly what I was about to say… people complain that UA-cam is restrictive and that the algorithm is unfair blah blah blah but working w/ a studio is 100x worse. And you completely lose ownership of your content.
tv as you knew it is dead, has been for a decade. Doesn't mean it's going away but it is undoubtedly going the way of AM radio mate.
I’m a builder and just watched 2 1/2 hours of digging concreting and welding!! Absolutely bloody awesome!!! Can’t wait for the next instalment 🤙🤙🤙
Sometimes it isn't about the what and instead is all about the where. Had he done some digging, laying concrete and welding on the surface it would have been average. But underground and only doing so when no one can hear him. It's way above and beyond the ordinary.
Next instalment :tunnel to the hardware store!
This whole project is beyond my comprehension, the labor, the vast array of tools and equipment, the skill required, the incredible cost of material and the dedication to continue for 3 years without just giving up on the whole idea! Congratulations on the completion? of this amazing project!
I mean, like after working on it for a year, you kinda get to the point of no return. You either put in as much effort to give up on it, or you just keep on chuggin.
@@CoffeeSorcerer69 nice way to spend a lockdown...
what's also beyond comprehension is the why
@@imRamaChandra good question... it's not a bunker not deep enough], it's not even ''secret'' anymore... I guess crazy doesn't need a reason...
@@user-McGiverits a youtube series that was bringing his highest views yet. Why not continue.
Just spectacular. Thanks for taking us along on this amazing journey under your property!
To be honest, I have been following this series because I want to see the house connected to the bunker. The tunnel so far is under ground that already has cover from the elements and nosey neighbours, but a tunnel to the bunker means you can get there and back no matter what is going on outside and without being seen. Getting to the bunker is 100% the next project I want to see, please!
I thought that was the whole point but now its like hes doing other stuff with the tunnel i want it connected to the bunker
His map showed it all connected. That's not what he's doing here? WTF
I watched this entire video in hopes that it would connect to the bunker.
Its a shame that I wasted my time
Wow, you guys are a sorry bunch. He said he wants to go both ways in the beginning, this is him going this way, then he'll work his way in the other direction. It's his house and his tunnel, who are you?
I’m pretty amazed at how positive Colin is through this whole 3 YEAR process. That’s some planning skills, super admirable
Do you think he didn't have bad days off cam?
@@Kenneth_James Does it really matter? Its just another brick in the wall!
“Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life”
He loves it, literally gets payed to invent and build stuff
I didnt even take 3 years! It took *almost* 2 years
I remember thinking it would take a man 600 years to tunnel from his house to his shed. Old Colin did it in less than three.
The tunnel is absolutely brilliant. You fulfilled the childhood dream of every young boy ever. Such a massive undertaking, physically and financially. I applaud you, sir.
Minecraft game in real life :)
yeah its genuinely impressive
imagine to be one of his kids, or even friends of them :)
...what a youth!!
It's not a childhood dream for him, the whole video he talks about how he's making a tunnel so people will leave him alone and he can keep working without being disturbed by various councils or other forms of government. Also, he's listening to punk music the whole time.
Colin is clearly anti-lockdown, lmfao.
And every tomboy… ❤
The algorithm got it right today! 😂🥳🤙🏾. This type of content is why I’m on YT…random stuff I’ve always wanted to watch, but had no idea I wanted to watch it. Lol
It's hard to express just how much I love that this video exists. Always wanted to see the full process of someone making an underground tunnel by themselves even though it has no relevance to my life.
My Man deserves a TV show He was able to keep us entertained for 2 1/2 hours while he was digging a tunnel he’s also probably living every kids dream including mine
Every kids dream? Ex-fucking-scusme every man's dream is to dig a tunnel for no reason other then why the fuck not
Ikr

Well technically hes already been on the TV show called outrageous acts of science.
Had one, and has been on quite a few
Colin's Wife deserves recognition for the amount of patience she has had throughout, especially while the work in the pantry had her kitchen a mess! 👍
Colins wife is a doctor?
Does his family actually still live at this house? I thought I heard somewhere that they moved and this house is basically just a big UA-cam studio for Colin, now.
Her kitchen?? 😬
@@ChadHadsell That's how I understand it as well.
@@Rozzylous ? I mean ye?
Hey Collin, great job on your tunnel project. May I ask, at the place over the tunnel, what is the thickness of the mass at the thickest point? Also, have you considered Radon Gas. This is created from naturally decaying radioactive material in the soil. This is not a problem until you create a pocket, such as your tunnel. This issue is easily remedied by installing a positive flow vent, venting the air from the tunnel area to the outside air. You can test for Radon Gas hiring a company with the test equipment. A test usually spans over 3-4 days while the equipment samples the tunnel air. Radon is a exciter for cancerous issues. Just something to consider. Rob-
When I was working in confined spaces, we had these little yellow air monitors that would beep at you if there was any bad gas or oxygen too low etc. Think they were only a couple hundred bucks too
Quite possibly the greatest thing I've ever seen. Massive respect to your tenacity and motivation to get the job done.
so dissapointing they avoided the mains water pipe 🌊🤽
@@radleysmith7528 they could've hand an underground swimming pool aswell
I have never seen anything like this which is saying a lot considering the variety of content that is available to us in this day and age. I was left jaw dropped almost every 5 minutes at the level of skill that this guy has to master to get this kind of a project done. One of the best things I have seen all year!
Completely agree!! I love it! The amount of skill and strength! Just WOW.
He must have learned from El Chapo
I have an IDEA:
The turn mechanism doesn't necessarily have to be underground. Have a circular disk turn the vehicle after it rises. Also, the roof could be retractable, almost like the way convertibles do it, such that when the car garage comes up, it appears minimalistic. This will allow you to insalll a disk large enough to turn two cars at the same time. Also, it will provide a place to park when you do not want the cars to be underground. Now, I want to see you build this!
How about something like ikea's snurrad.
Thunderbirds spring to mind as I read that :)
🎉🎉
The thing that stands out to me about Colin, and I don't think this is said enough, is what a hard-working dude he is. This is just an incredible amount of work.
Its not hard work when your doing something cool
Not work when you love what you are doing.
But why?
A bunker would make more sense for all the effort. Why a tunnel?
@@Christine4music he made the bunker years ago
Colin is the only person who can make a 2.5 hour long video about digging and still make it entertaining.
well, it's just a mix of 20-30 min videos, so he just had to make those entertaing, props to him still, but it's not like he did a super long video normally.
I aint afraid uh no ghost!
nah, he's weird
No.. It;s friking boring..
Digging is so fun. It's possibly one of the most dangerous practices we humans started doing, but there is a reason we kept doing it until we eventually found a purpose for that (mining).
Colin: We're going to build this tunnel quietly and sneakily without disturbing the neighbors.
Also Colin during the first step: Revs up a massive saw that he and the crew needs ear protection for and screams at the top of his lungs "WE'RE BUILDING A TUNNEL! WHOOOOOOOO!"
*several trucks worth of cement arrive*
@@AuroDHikoshi you forget he didn't have planning permission when he started
Look, Colin's still getting the hang of this "Covert" lark, OK? ;-)
so true thats what im saying
You can just imagine Colin on the "Great Escape"!
BRRRRRRRRRRR DING DANG KERRRASHHH BOOOOM!
"D'You think they noticed"?
Out of all the youtube projects I've seen, this is by far one of the most impressive. I thought Hacksmith's giant Alien robot suit was wild but this is next level. I would be terrified to do this, but Collin's determination to do this not only for 3+ years, but also through the pandemic is amazing. Good job Collin, I can't wait to see how the car lift garage turns out!
This man seriously accomplished the childhood dream we all had.
@@allthingsfunnels imagine how sick that would be
FALSE
my dream was a Zelda like tower with multiple floors, secret floors inbetween .. 😅
Childhood I’d do it now at almost 40 if I had tons of money I’d be ok with just the main bunker
Totally
This was the most massive project I've seen done on UA-cam. The fact that it was practically done by one man ( not to diminish the fact you had wonderful friends to help.) is astounding. Bravo young man well done.
For some reason my replie was bravo and I never even use that word. Just Amazing talent and energy. And wit thai guy has bravo sir what else can I say
“ONE MAN INDEED”……. 😂YEAH RIGHT!! - IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO KNOW THE OVERALL COST IN MAN HOURS “FRIENDS” INCLUDED AND ALL THE KIT AND MATERIALS COSTS…. could probably have built a small WELL EQUIPPED BUNGALOW.
Holy Jaundice! What an epic undertaking…(ha. See what I did there) I didn’t plan on finishing this when I started, but obviously I was left no choice.
Even if its just for moisture, what about the waterproofing?
And the steel will rust through time as well - that concrete wouldn't have flowed around anything like all of it.
Also for something like this with the weight bearing down on it, only structural steel should have been used not thin wall bars and sheets. How on earth would something like this get planning permission?
ive been following the tally ho boat rebuild (going on 5+ years currently) and id say that one beats this in terms of scale but obviously the bigger and longer you go the more assistance you end up acquiring.
This guy won't stop until he's turned his house into a Wallace & Gromit film and I'm here for it 🥰

He is pretty much a child with adult money. He is turning his house into what most can only build from lego, and I am here for it. Absolutely amazing. As a side note, he has shot the value of the house so far into the millions by now. A whole underground segment is nuts.
And he has a government that is not obstructing him, which is seldom in modern western society.
@@cryptospacexxxit6281 That's because otherwise people with loads of money would be doing this all the time and it would be detrimental to a nations infrastructure.

In 1980, Ace Frehley of Kiss bought a modern house in Wilton, Connecticut and dug out the side of a hill and put a state of the art recording studio in it. It was called Ace In The Hole Studio. lol. The studio equipment is all gone but the bunker remains as a car garage in 2022.
Can we just acknowledge how damn impressively durable those plastic bins are
They seem like a more % of a rubber ;}
They look like a more durable version of my laundry basket. My laundry basket has a broken handle I ductaped back up 😅

I was enjoying the whole video whilst doing other projects. Often, I chuckled, but the swearing neighbor made the whole thing! He was so great. It sucks you had to bleep him out. Is that due to UA-cam rules? Otherwise, stop the bleeping bleeping.
It truly makes you appreciate how projects like this done 500-1000 years ago must have taken SO much time and so many workers to get done. This is 3 years worth of work with great modern tools & knowledge. The catacombs in Paris for instance, the amount of work to dig underground effectively is staggering.
Man hours. Get 12 people working 12 hours a day instead of 1 2 hpurs a day average... its down to 2 weeks.
Have 4 teams of 12 on a project like his, starting on, or working on different sections, and youre down to just a few days.
Too late to repent now! Keep the dungeon and tell the dragons they have to be Christians before you let them pass. 😆🇬🇧 Next, the bat 🦇 cave for the batmobile...

He was quiet because he didn't have permission to do it 😂
@@Tenksen if I’m not wrong, dude had an excavator in his yard. What’s a jackhammer in his shed within his property line gonna do besides be loud?
If he had permission to do it he would have just worked in normal working hours and let the neighbours know. Like anyone with any house works. I'm sure he is still a sound dude but it's not why he was quiet. He had to keep it secret and quiet so there wouldn't be any objections before he got planning.
@@Tenksen I can see that but its just hard to believe with what he’s gotten away with so far. You think noise and a construction tarp would be the least of his neighbors concerns at that point. Plus he’s doing everything right at least that’s what it seems. But the context I got was he wanted it to be a surprise in the video.. so that’s why he was being quiet about it.
im sure the 17 concrete trucks during daylight hours never raised an alarm.
Without doubt my new favorite rock video! great awesome energy! Lots of fun!

Having watched the original series of videos and now this, I can honestly say the most amazing thing about this project is the miraculous plastic tubs that you used to haul away earth and rock.
I was thinking the same thing. Where did he buy those things? They deserve a promo.
They're called 40L party buckets
The faith he put in the handles though, seemed sketchy lifting those full tubs 😬
It all depends..good ones are made of a strong rubber mix and are tough as hell..proper builders ones......whereas..you get a cheap plasic one from your local diy shop for a few quid and you will probably crack it and snap the handles off in one even slightly hard day.
Colin, the wife (Archaeologist) suggests that the air voids/ cracks you've found could have been where previous structures could have historically existed, especially being so close to the Roman Villa that was found. Also says be super thankful you haven't found anything significant, could have opened the archaeological can of worms and become a dig site which would derail your entire tunnel!
There were some very flat bits at 28:47 that looks oddly flat on the upright position. I was worrying about the same thing.
@@SirCaptainSteve Rock takes a few years to form so that’s definitely not a roman floor. If there was mud and goop on top it would be possible but then it would only be about 1 to 2 meters deep.
So in other words, if you find anything significant, don't tell anyone ;)

I can’t believe I was enamored this whole video watching you and friends make the coolest tunnel under your property. It was the most amazing build Ive ever seen! I’m late to the party but definitely subscribing and watching the underground garage possibly develop before my eyes!!!!
i admire Colin’s tenacity above all. he’s truly inspiring.
He's being paid to do it
His ability to persist when most of us have long gone to the pub is certainly impressive.
@@xXscreamingkoalaXx well yes and no
HOLY SHIT you are one psychopathic badass! i just stumbled onto your channel and Oh my god! thats gotta be one of the coolest things ive ever seen anyone do for a home improvement. Im a welder and an artist/electrician/sculptor/doctor/psychyatrist/inventor… except i havent had a shop to run wild in, in too many years.
well you dont want to hear me crying.
You asked for ideas about the car lift so i thought id toss you one (free of charge). you can either make it for one car or two bt in order to spin it and still be closwe to the wall you could just create an indention at the bottom of the two walls that meet in the corner of the carpark and the platform would easily spin while clearing the walls. Let me know if that works for you but it seems like the easiest solution. Cheers. i subscribed right away and im about to binge watch some of your vids. i love the way your mind works. makes me want to just start creating shite.
thanks again!
Every kid wants to build a secret tunnel or fort, but for most of us those sorts of fancies are impractical in adulthood. Few people have the time nor the financial means, and then finally only a handful of people in the whole world have the tenacity, dedication and stubbornness to see it through. I certainly couldn't do it. Thank goodness for Colin! 🥳
@The Wildlife Photographer What a fortunate fella you are. But please don't tell us anything else otherwise some clever git will make it his mission to put all the clues together and discover the location of your secret house of fun!
@The Wildlife Photographer you don't have to lie on the internet to be interesting man
A classy retort to that mosquito bite of a comment, if I may say so.
Annoying but pretty ineffective as they are, it makes you admire people who put themselves out there like our Col all the more.
This is the first time I've ever watched this channel, and I was so invested in how it was going to turn out and watched it all! He has more dedication and drive to keep going for 3 years! Imagine what kind of progress the world could accomplish if everyone had this guys motivation and dedication to do good in the world!
this dude has been making cool shit for so long an original youtube creator that does not let people down with his videos
First video I ever saw from you and I’ve been hooked since fr I’ve watched almost all your videos and gonna re watch them all love you Colin
can we take a moment to appreciate the huge hand that Rick & co. did to make this all possible. awesome job.
Hello, I’m an older woman and spend a lot of time viewing UA-cam videos. I just stumbled across your channel and couldn’t stop watching this epic dig under your house!! In the words of my fellow Texans “y’all crazy”! I loved it!
Turning 50 and I felt like I was actually part of this top secret operation, full of laughs excitement and sheer awesomeness. This is like reliving childhood secret strictly by invitation and initiation club nostalgia super sized in adult planning proportions - you gotta be barking mad if you don’t feel the vibe & have a good laugh along the way. Loved this! Let’s do it again!!
Just amazing. Keep up the fantastic work Colin.
bros just casually living everyones childhood dream. Awesome series, watched it all but still went through this whole video in one session cause its just that entertaining to see you have so much passion and love for what you do. Keep it up!
This is absolutely incredible! I can't believe 3 guys designed, engineered, and put into action ALL OF THIS! Not sure why I wasn't subbed to this channel long ago.
Go back and watch some old stuff.

Ring of death ( ladders scare me 🤣🤣)

Wow... that was awesome!!! Can't believe I seriously just watched that whole video non stop.
To all the bands that played. I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Can't wait to find all y'all's tracks and spend hours listening.
COLIN……YOU ARE THE MAN…your determination is unseen anywhere on earth…🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👍👍👍 Love from Texas
I have just one word for Colin and it is "Legend". He is a person who has no limits, I am sure one day he will make a shed and a tunnel on Mars too. Salute to you man, chasing your dream project is an amazing feeling.
I can't believe I watched this entire video! I was captured by the construction details and perfection shown. I spent a number of years working underground with the United States MSHA (Mining Safety) getting our engines approved for underground usage for both normal and gassy mines. I loved going underground but never worked under such pristine conditions shown here. Great video & great work. I can't wait for your next project.
It is amazing how it only feels like yesterday when you started making the workshop hatch and I was thinking "This seems a bit ambitious old chap!" - but here we are. And what a ride it has been. It's satisfying to see a project you worked so hard for so long on finally be done.

"If there was ever a project that deserves a subscription its this one." Youre right. Subscribed.
The fact that he tried not to disturb the neighbours as much as he could was such a nice thing to do
Truly it is a thoughtful thing since I live in an apartment and the person living on top is always using tools at weird hours I know how it feels 😪
got to dodge the bloody council
It's not a "nice thing to do".
It's an *appropriate* thing to do.
And he shouldn't be using ANYTHING that can generate *any* noise within any sort of audible range - manual tools covered with white noise, and *_eventually_* increasing the amount of shielding, before proportionately resorting to the use of anything which might lead to an increase in volume.
Not a "nice thing".

I concur with my initial remark that you are absolutely bonkers, but in the best way possible. What an undertaking. What you have achieved is beyond impressive. I am seriously impressed. I have been fabricating and involved in building works for decades but I have to be honest and state this is way beyond my skill level. If I hadn't watched the videos I would not have believed such a project existed. What do you do for a living that has given you the many different skills you have demonstrated in this immense project? I honestly do not think there are too many people out there with the ability to undertake and complete such a project. I can't wait to watch your future projects, I truly believe you are capable of anything. Kudos to you and your mate/s and what a cool neighbour you have.
He is a plumber. They gotta do all things.
This is the most wholesome comment ever. Thank you and keep creating.
@Bloofa ... Or is he? Mwahaha 😉😆
Theres something both hypnotic and extremely soothing about this process unfolding. Very considerate of the neighbors to attempt to do this absolutely silent as possible too, a cool variable to add to this. A pleasure to watch, thank you for sharing.
With how far he is underground, they won't hear anything unless they're right on top of it. And he could just work when his neighbors are at work if he is gonna use noisy generators and such.
@@mustangcody I meant for the start of this project, he was most definitely *not* underground at first lol
I watched all 2h30m in one sitting and i was enthralled. You sir, are a polymath of mining and DIY. Hat's off. Cheers, Well done. And all that! 🙂 Subscribed.
I’m glad I just found this channel now so that I didn’t have to wait 3 years to see it all come together
Same hear
Ditto !
Me too!
I think the upload of the first video was only a year ago, the timing of the uploads was also very well planned =D but waiting for the next video of about 1.5 months was sometimes very sad and tedious...
Same!
Watching it all in one piece like this gives you a better idea of how mind-bogglingly massive a project this was. Hats off to you, sir.
Oh man I forgot about putting the extra dirt in the cereal boxes and making the hydraulic shovel! This entire project has been a blast to watch, thank you for being absolutely brilliant and inspiring us to think big, happy Christmas to you and you and your family too!
I’m impressed that the UK government actually gives you permission to do such project. Great work, most men want a fancy car and a super model wife, other men just want a tunnel under their home 🤣
This popped up on my YT feed a few hours ago and I'm still watching. What an astounding piece of home engineering.
If there ever was an example of a British home builder "man in a shed" then this is it.
You are awesome sir.
This has to be one of the best and most well put together videos I've ever seen on UA-cam. 2.5 hours long and I didn't get bored during any of it. It flowed awesomely and had lots of interesting and funny parts alike. Love the editing as well as the personality in the video. Great job!!!
I've bandied about the idea of doing something similar in my home. After watching this video, it's clear that I don't have the (1) time or (2) MONEY to get it done right proper. This is exceptionally impressive work!
EPIC!!!, just stumbled across this video watched the whole lot in one go. Great work Colin and friends
This man is the definition of a mad scientist/genius!!! Insane work ethic,vision and execution! Top class engineering 👌
First, I can't believe I just watched a 2.5 hour UA-cam video. This production was captivating start to finish, well done. This is proof that creative visons and big dreams can be realized with the support, commitment, and dedication of a team who work hard to accomplish a common goal. Inspiring video indeed!
