You're crazy. It's fantastic! When I was a kid, I build an entire Great Escape "tunnel" with my best friend out of wood and cardboard boxes across our back garden. Best summer ever.
Maybe one day! Watch rates are high and likes etc, I think UA-cam only want you to grow your channel at a certain speed, it’s all about how much they push the video to new people, think it will just take more time. Annoying I make more currently on Facebook pictures I post than the videos on here 😂
Some lovely machinery for cutting and folding the metal components. Reminded me off my dads workplace when he was a sheet metal worker. Its certainly coming along nicely
Fantastic! I love the way you quickly and easily repurpose old Land Rover parts in your design. This has to be one of the most unusual ways to restock the bar.
I often used to work at a training centre in Dublin. Opposite my place of work was the Porterhouse (with which my only connection is as a satisfied customer) - a superb pub, with an overhead fan system driven by a central motor connected to the fans by belts, similar to how a Victorian machine shop would have one motor to drive several lathes. It also had a beer lift similar to yours. It came up through the welcome mat at the front door. I loved watching the beer barrels being unloaded each morning and then descending underground. A lot of ale gets drunk in Dublin.
Thank you so much for showing some detail about the bending brake and the stops! I'm definitely going to make some adjustable stops for my manual bending brake having seen this!!!
I love your ingenuity, and if you ever sell, I'm certain it will be a great selling point simply as it is unique, and what man wouldn't like his own bunker.
@Tornado_Dave I can only imagine how your children feel about this when they tell there friends at school that my dad is so cool as we have our own underground bunker, PRICELESS. I would love a huge basement for model trains and for wine beer and m own still to make some rocket fuel for your rocket, no drinking the stuff . Nudge nudge wink wink, say nah more.
Awesome job on the dumbwaiter! Would love to see a couple square feet of sod on top of the hatch, if it could be held in place by a few dull spikes on the lid. Really, making me feel like a kid again thinking about tunnels and townhouses in the backyard again.
I love the well so much I wish there was more you could do, like extra floor levels, but that gets progressively more dangerous and expensive. But it's so cool.
Another great video. The lengths man will go to in order to have access to his beer. 😂 Prohibition in the States would have been no match for you, sir.
I've teased you about how they didn't have a plasma cutter and 30 ton press in Stalag Luft 3, but seriously mate, people like you, with imagination, ingenuity and brilliant problem solving skills would've been exactly what they needed there in 1943!! I take my flat cap off to you mate, you're a bloody genius. One question - how are you going to keep the winch battery charged?
Thank you, hopefully I never find myself in a real situation where I need to escape 😂. I’m going to wire the 240 up to that point as it will be a handy power point for the garden as well 😀
Solarpanels on the well roof to charge the battery? Glad you mentioned gasstruts will help the hatch. Maybe add a remote to the hatch and sled to sort of get an automated system for filling up with beer 😅
So impressed with your fabrication skills, would love, to see some of the behind the screen footage of the design process before the laser / plasma cutting. Can see that a lot of knowledge goes into that part
@@Tornado_Dave Mild repetition is acceptable for the new viewers. Like showing an abridged version of the bending of a section or attaching it. You could have fun trying to make it new and fresh every time you do so it's nice for the old viewers as well. It's what every big tuber does anyway.
Woohoo... I finally got to meet you. Thanks for the experience day, I really enjoyed the tour of the bunker and helping shift dirt. I hope I'm the top bidder on the next experience day tickets 😊
I didn’t bother asking in this video, I hate it when other channels beg for subscribers and I thought this video was impressive enough not to ask, will have to see 😀
@@Tornado_Dave Just in case you were curious, there's this massive modpack for Minecraft called "Gregtech New Horizons", and every single thing has been made excessively complicated and tedious. The term "greggified" means it's been made unnecessarily complicated. Imagine if they had to make a high tech elevator like you did to complete their great escape. That kind of thing.
Looking really impressive, and that is some great camera work from the youngster. Though I wonder how large one of your friend will have to be to not fit through that escape hatch especially now the lift is in. You don't look like a giant of a man and it seems a bit of squeeze for you still.
@@Tornado_Dave I don't know if I should feel sorry for him or not... But as I'm far from sure I'd fit and I'd still want to give it a go. If he does struggle it may be worth rebuilding the lift system's rails into a corner - then you get one of the diagonals available for clambering out. Which I think would provide that little bit extra that most larger folk that are not also carrying a beer gut of serious size can probably manage.
I think you should add a pair of cables/chains to the tray of the elevator so the weight is distributed and not concentrated on the hinges that can deform with time.
Almost like you watched my videos and used my idea? Only difference is my with is mounted to the platform to save on all the pullies. Nice work Dave. Bit jealous of all your metal working gear, mine is built from wood.
Now I know where to get a pint in the event of Armageddon 😂 the doomsday bar or doom bar 🤔😂🍺 Dave your a wizard on that press brake and solid works. Just curious did you do a load simulation or FEA on the tunnel sections? They look like they would take a heavy load like 💪👍
Seeing as you went through the tunnel on the cart and escaped up the top how do you get your cart back have you got a rope to pull it back or you got to crawl to get it off you could put a retractable line on it so it will come back when you need it that would be cool
The only thing Dave is your escape hatch is short of the trees lol. Rather than escaping out of the middle of your garden where you can clearly be seen will you be digging a stealth escape tunnel.
Excellent a lot of tin work in that 👍 Where did you find that trailer you had on JD? That’s exactly what I’m looking for, don’t tell me you made it!! Steve
@@Tornado_Dave okay, thanks for the reply. So, when you bend galvanized sheet in the brake, the galvanized coating isn’t compromised? I don’t know anything about it, I’m just curious. Love the vids.
@@pauljoseph8338 the trailer you see in the video, I made and it’s all folded sheet, it lives outside and hasn’t rusted, also the plasma burns the edge and self seals so even the edges don’t rust!
Dirt & Steel. It's like minecraft but it's way more epic. Also, recycling car parts? Striking all the dreams. Now if you had more apocalypse related stuff like a large storage area, a machine that bores tunnels out automatically, a foundry to literally melt a car to recycle the steel (be mindful of foundry explosions)... It'd become the ultimate engineer's mancave.
Wow....Furze would be jealous of that metal fabrication shop.
Great work!!!!
Colin’s got most of the equipment at his new workshop, just his press brake isn’t cnc I think
The quality of these videos keeps getting better every time! Also like the way how you explain things, very calm and relaxed. Keep it up!
I feel this is my best yet, watching colin in action and the end result video he did was very educational for me, I will keep learning 😂
The slow lift out of the escape hatch at the start was hilarious. Epic project, looking forward to the next part.
Inspired by the bond film live and let die 😂
That hinge action was gorgeous
Yes very satisfying 😂
You're crazy. It's fantastic!
When I was a kid, I build an entire Great Escape "tunnel" with my best friend out of wood and cardboard boxes across our back garden. Best summer ever.
Very cool!
This is fantastic. Loving seeing the progress. Phenomenal engineering.
Thank you
Really enjoying this series, thank-you 👏
Glad you are liking it 😀
Furze sent me. Glad he did, too!
Welcome to the channel 😀
Knowing you, as you, seeing you emerge out of your garden with that smile is hilarious 😂
My mate Ian was filming and I couldn’t help laughing at him 😂
Absolutely brilliant engineering, love it, great video.
Cheers thankyou
Watching that hinge work was glorious haha 😄 top work 👏
Glad you enjoyed it, I loved that clip too
the ease with which the press bent the 6mm steel is always amazing 1:36,, Daves shoulders are now conditioned like an olympian
Yes on the 2 metre 3mm fold it was using 85tonnes of force without trying!
As always, a superb video! Why has this guy not reached a million subscribers yet???

@@Tornado_Dave I'll get onto FB now and like everything 👍
@@brockett999 it’s under Dave Billings but if you type in Tornado Dave or tunnel Dave I’m sure you will find it 😂
That hatch is a thing of absolute beauty! You've got some mad skills
Thank you
Crazy Dude, excellent engineering, top job.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Best video yet Dave, its nice to see the engineering 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
Haaaaaa EPIC!! One awesome vid after another! Thanks DAVE !! Great job Sir!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I am impressed with your manufacturing on all the sheet metal. Terrific work!
Thank you very much!
Using those hinges was just pure genius! Thanks for a great vid mate!
Yes they worked pretty well 😀
Some lovely machinery for cutting and folding the metal components. Reminded me off my dads workplace when he was a sheet metal worker. Its certainly coming along nicely
Thanks 👍
Fantastic! I love the way you quickly and easily repurpose old Land Rover parts in your design. This has to be one of the most unusual ways to restock the bar.
I started designing my own hinge then thought people would prefer it if I did my usual and recycle parts 😀

Sounds cool
Dave, you are an industrious bugger, Cheers, by the way I love the videos. By the way thanks for the claustrophobic warning
Yes I thought I best get it in there, the tunnel feels big now after that 😂
Top class ingenuity. That lift is perfection. Well done.
Thank you very much!
Really enjoying this series, the execution of your ideas is just stunning.
Thank you so much for showing some detail about the bending brake and the stops!
I'm definitely going to make some adjustable stops for my manual bending brake having seen this!!!
Yes I could show more details but feel it will make some people turn off 😀
Excellent! 👍 Great lift design, leaving emergency exit feature! Utilizing car parts is good idea!
Thanks! 👍
That hatch sir is a work of art. Lovely bit of fabrication.
Thank you kindly
I wish I had a bunker! Brilliant.
Love your videos... I am originally from Newark but now live in Poland. Keep digging and we will keep watching.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love this, and your fabrication skills are very impressive
Thank you very much!
You are a very talented bloke Dave do you make and sell them little land rovers. You are destined for UA-cam success 👍
Yes I sell them in kit form on the website www.tornadomotorsport.co.uk
I love your ingenuity, and if you ever sell, I'm certain it will be a great selling point simply as it is unique, and what man wouldn't like his own bunker.
Thankyou and I don’t ever plan on selling this place 😂
@Tornado_Dave I can only imagine how your children feel about this when they tell there friends at school that my dad is so cool as we have our own underground bunker, PRICELESS.

The more i watch you and colin furze, the more i want to build my own one, o you are so close on how i want to get into my own one
Go for it 😀
Absolutely amazing!!
Your metal working is very impressive. The escape hatch is FurzeBrilliant!! 👔
I’m waiting to here his verdict on it 😀
Now what is needed is to be sponsored by Black Sheep Brewery. 😁
That would be great, maybe I suggest it when I take the keg back 😂
Brilliance…Keep up the good work.
I think you could build a nice dog house to cover that hatch.
I’m sure I will come up with some creative design 😂
Doghouse that tilts with the hatch! 👍
Loving this project and looking forward to the next video!
Thankyou, took some putting together this video did, I’m experimenting with the slightly longer format
Fantastic timing, just finished work!
I love the well so much I wish there was more you could do, like extra floor levels, but that gets progressively more dangerous and expensive. But it's so cool.
Another great video. The lengths man will go to in order to have access to his beer. 😂 Prohibition in the States would have been no match for you, sir.
It took some making this video did, glad you like it 😀
Just awesome Dave!
Great video
The lengths gone to to get a brew down the tunnel!
Pretty handy to get all the soil out as well 😀

I had included a step by step guide how to make a part from scratch but felt it will be a bit boring for some of the viewers so cut it out

Awesome video Dave love it how everything works ... is Jim slacking... 😅😅😅
I borrowed his battery 😂
Good old Jim 😅😅@@Tornado_Dave
Woohoo... I finally got to meet you. Thanks for the experience day, I really enjoyed the tour of the bunker and helping shift dirt. I hope I'm the top bidder on the next experience day tickets 😊
Thanks for your help Trucker Ian 😂
Your fab skills are, well... quite fabulous!
Thank you! Cheers!
Gone from 1940s Great Escape tunnel to a 1920s prohibition smugglers tunnel 😂
That actually sounds like a great "plot" idea, as he grows the tunnel, it references other great events seldom talked about.
I think i like these fabrication videos even more than the digging videos. I wish i could build a machine every time i think of one i need.
The channel is more about fabrication, that will always be the common denominator of all content hopefully. Glad you are liking it 😀
The spirit of Dibnah lives on.....
Clean up as you go plz !! Looks great but needs cleaning bad !! Cheers !!
Yes I need to finish the clean up, ran out of time to be honest and just wanted the video out, I managed to mow the lawn 😂
Nice the winch lift is sweet!
Thanks 👍
😂😂 In the tinderbox today…. Its Tunnel Dave… say hello to all the children Tunnel Dave 😂
What’s tinder box? 😂

I didn’t bother asking in this video, I hate it when other channels beg for subscribers and I thought this video was impressive enough not to ask, will have to see 😀
Reminds me of the lift in Guns of Navarone !
I need to watch that again now 😂
Probably not a single person will get this, but, MAN you Greggified "The Great Escape".
I don’t get it 😂
@@Tornado_Dave Just in case you were curious, there's this massive modpack for Minecraft called "Gregtech New Horizons", and every single thing has been made excessively complicated and tedious. The term "greggified" means it's been made unnecessarily complicated. Imagine if they had to make a high tech elevator like you did to complete their great escape. That kind of thing.
That's a cask Dave. Kegs are what fizzy beer come in 🍺🍺🍺🍻
You live and learn 😂
@@Tornado_DaveIf you wanted to be really pedantic (and I often do 😉), it's a "firkin" because it's a 9 gallon cask.
Maybe weld on some extra ladder rungs for the manual escape?? Project is coming along nicely!
Yes the plan is to make it more of a ladder 😀
Looking really impressive, and that is some great camera work from the youngster.
Though I wonder how large one of your friend will have to be to not fit through that escape hatch especially now the lift is in. You don't look like a giant of a man and it seems a bit of squeeze for you still.
I am pretty narrow yes, I’ve got a big mate so when he is next down I can test it with him 😂
@@Tornado_Dave I don't know if I should feel sorry for him or not... But as I'm far from sure I'd fit and I'd still want to give it a go.
If he does struggle it may be worth rebuilding the lift system's rails into a corner - then you get one of the diagonals available for clambering out. Which I think would provide that little bit extra that most larger folk that are not also carrying a beer gut of serious size can probably manage.
The Keg torpedo tube! 🤣😎
looking good, as a local lad i have messaged you on facebook about offering advice you requested in the last video.
I’ve not seen it so will try and find the message 😀
You are a bit of a genius, Dave! 🤩
Thank you 😀
Great lift.👍
Thanks 👍
All in the name of beer 👍🏼🍺
I think you should add a pair of cables/chains to the tray of the elevator so the weight is distributed and not concentrated on the hinges that can deform with time.
Never mind the opocalypse take care of the beer....good build....
Beer is the most important 😂
Dude you are cool as hell
Thank you
Carrying an 11 down that spiral staircase would be a hell of a task. I doubt you ever tried a 22 🙈
Almost like you watched my videos and used my idea? Only difference is my with is mounted to the platform to save on all the pullies. Nice work Dave. Bit jealous of all your metal working gear, mine is built from wood.
I need to check your video out
oh no another bunker channel to subscribe to, where has the world gone
You should build a dog house or something on top of the hatch to camouflage the entrance
I’m sure I will come up with an idea to hide it
Cool
Now I know where to get a pint in the event of Armageddon 😂 the doomsday bar or doom bar 🤔😂🍺 Dave your a wizard on that press brake and solid works. Just curious did you do a load simulation or FEA on the tunnel sections? They look like they would take a heavy load like 💪👍
My solidworks is the basic version so I can’t do simulations, that’s why I did the shipping container test in one of the previous episodes 😂
Nice
Seeing as you went through the tunnel on the cart and escaped up the top how do you get your cart back have you got a rope to pull it back or you got to crawl to get it off you could put a retractable line on it so it will come back when you need it that would be cool
I’m planning on a cart remote operating method for when it’s all fully built
Instead of ground hog day, it's ground hog dave.😂
Is that lid waterproof thought ?
Dont you need to add some rubber around it 😇
To make it air tight I do, water isn’t getting in so far though
@@Tornado_Dave awesome , keep it up !
The only thing Dave is your escape hatch is short of the trees lol. Rather than escaping out of the middle of your garden where you can clearly be seen will you be digging a stealth escape tunnel.
exactly, they'll never expect it, so it's 100% stealthy.
This is so funny 😂
I love the missile silo aesthetics, especially aged concrete. Think Half Life (Black Mesa) or Portal (Aperture Science's old) abandoned facilities.
Do you plan on drinking one keg by yourself each day? If so, then I understand the reasoning for the lift.
The lift is also to help bring heavy items in the new bunker like firewood and the ash back out etc 😀
*Ingenious
You’re an engineering genius! What you could have accomplished if you’d used your powers for the good of humanity!!!😉
Cheers thank you
Above and beyond...
Excellent a lot of tin work in that 👍
Where did you find that trailer you had on JD? That’s exactly what I’m looking for, don’t tell me you made it!!
Steve
14.46
He made it 😊
I made it I’m afraid, it’s a half sized replica of a 14ft ifor, does work well behind the JD though
lol!! Awesome!
How are you going to keep all your sheet metal structures from rusting? Are they galvanized?
All the sheets are galvanised and the top is going to be surrounded by concrete which should keep that ok, I might get the hatch galvanised soon
@@Tornado_Dave okay, thanks for the reply. So, when you bend galvanized sheet in the brake, the galvanized coating isn’t compromised? I don’t know anything about it, I’m just curious. Love the vids.

most important?
Mark the hatch with a label "septic tank" will keep any nosey parkers away 😂
👍🏻
Well... If you're bringing kegs of beer down there, you're going to have to relieve yourself at some point, you certainly can't use the well... 😩 😆
In the new bunker there will be a toilet as well 😀
@@Tornado_Dave perfect! 😉

I’m gonna collab with Colin and tunnel to each others bunker 🤫 😂
Wow..........
The opening scene is a homage to 'Live And Let Die', right? 😀
I was going to put it on as a clip but ran out of time 😂
Why didn't you say "like a glove" when the lid closed? Or did you do it off camera haha
