A Large Diesel Creek sign would look great centered above those garage doors.
That'd be cool made out of scrap steel or something maybe painted the same colour as Christine
Oh yeah.
Thinking exactly the same 👌🏻
That would be the icing on top of the -workshop- cake!
Was thinking a large DC logo out front below the peak would look sharp
The crane is my most anticipated part of this build. Next would be the organization of the shelves and benches and storage.
I was watching this video trying to work out the logistics of putting up that crane. He still has to spend some money because AFAIK he only has the bridge, end trucks and crane trolly. He needs to obtain (I won't say 'buy' because we know how resourceful he is) the supports and runways. We also know the bridge needs to be shortened, and that's going to be a mission in itself! If it was Andrew Camerata, I'd be worried about it happening without someone get seriously hurt or dead, but I think Matt has a decent safety record.
I've remembered a story. We had some adult apprentices come to our main Fleet Workshop for retraining after they'd been made redundant. One of them - who we will call Ernie because that was his name - was walking in the workshop when a large truck came in and gave the overhead crane a hefty whack. The bridge and trolly set off at a fair old lick with the hook block (which was about waist height) heading straight for Ernie. Instead of moving to the side, he set off like a rabbit in the headlights with the hook block bearing down on him, and didn't stop till the bridge reached its end stops. Even then, the hook block still had enough momentum to have a last lunge at him. The truck fitters were too busy rolling on the ground laughing to help poor Ernie, and he never lived it down.
There was another time, on night shift, when someone slipped the hook under the army webbing belt a fitter called 'Black Jack' wore over his overalls, and winched him off the ground. Jack was a total animal, and no one dared to let him down, so they went to the canteen and left him there. The shop foreman found him and let him down, and the lads kept well out of his way for the rest of that shift.
@@TrevorDennis100 the uncle got zip tied to the tie rail of a ute by the workshop apprentice. the young fella fed a couple of zip ties through the belt loops on the back of norms pants and then pissed off sharpish leaving him to swing. norm said it was great "fun" to reach behind and cut himself free.
he got his revenge though by putting grease in the apprentice's welding gloves
I'll second the motion for crane installation & testing.
Electrical Conduit Looks Good and I Love the Open Rafter Design Looks Good Matt 22:40 @Diesel Creek
Always love when you Measure a Dozen times and Cut Once And it still didnt Come Out Right But Looks Good Around the Window we all make mistakes Matt 15:38 @Diesel Creek
The best part of this video was when Matt said… “well too bad, it’s my shop, not yours” ….. YES!! We need more of this northeast attitude in our vids!
Thanks for sharing Matt!
We know that this was never going to be a fast project and understand the time things take time, but you can stand back and admire what you and your guys that have helped you achieve. This is a workshop to die for. Well done 👏
Well said mate!
Just took me 3 years to get my shop built. I'm not sure if it is done though.
What an excellent job, Matt !! Been following you for some time now and gotta tell you, I am super impressed with your efforts !! Looking forward to moving forward with you and all your future projects.
@@ernestjenkins1855.
Most likely, never really will be.
You'll tinkar tankere, putter move, change you mind, move again, add this and that then grow old still wondering what the heck, I never actually finished the dang thing.
Been there, done that, never regreted it.
Actually, it was kinda fun like an boxed erector set toy I had as a kid I expanded way beyond whay originally came in that cardboard box.
My shop evolved almost weekly.
With short breaks when I was just to busy on projects thinking I'd get around to then eventually.
Som me I never did or changed my mind.
It can get mind boggling confusing just remembering what you'd thought of or planned to begin with.
Looking great. Good job
Awesome to see a new episode from Matt Diesel Creek.
Been to long for me.
That said as he likes to say.
I agree with Matt on leaving the rafters open.
A.
Closed it turns into a heat trap in summer with airflow and moisture build up issues unless addictional in / out airflow equipment is add.
Adding to final costs.
B.
Closing it in also increases cost.
It does look ok, it isn't an art gallery or Better Homes and Garden stage.
It's Matt's dream, not ours.
Overall, he's done an absolutely outstanding job of achieving his personal dream and it's been my pleasure tagging along watching it develope.
Thanks Matt for the entertainment.
God bless.
Pannels looking good Going up pretty Fast Even if you didnt have hyperLapse On Nice work Guys 17:00 @Diesel Creek
Spray foam for the ceiling is a great choice. I'm sure you already know this but that stuff gets on everything. Be sure to cover the walls and floor when spaying so all of that nice look doesn't get ruined. Shop looks great!!!
Yeah, ceiling should have been insulated first, before the walls got tinned.
@@mattywho8485 bubble wrap insulation on ceilings works well. R-10 or so. Easy to install, no big mess
...So you have tin, that is screwed and then glued with foam to construction. No under layer to prevent leakage getting further into construction when water gets past the tin and trust me it will. Hell you wont even know about it until its far too late and whole rafter system is ruined. Only option will be to wreck whole building and build new, so that is the great choice? Even if its closed cell it just collects the water around rafters and rots them away quicker by not letting them dry. How about dont build single use building that is next to impossible to renovate? At this point all you can do is essentially ether add the underlayer plastic you forgot to install or just add boards top of existing roof and put another tin top of it.
@@Hellsong89 There are more effective ways to offer construction/constructive criticism.
@@Hellsong89
i Think that making a condensation / second roof layer
Can be done without making such big Rework , I agree in your conclusion on the risk of water damaging the top part of the trusses. And the point that renovation will be very hard with direct application of foam to tin.
My suggestion is to but hard massonit /hdf sheets under the boards that the tin
Is mounted to ,and fasting them to the roof trusses sides , parallel mounted 2"2" bats, one In middle and one directly beside the truss, on both sides . Note that the 2"2" is screwed to the truss not the" tin carrier" except in the middle, this bat can be sawed free from tin carrier in the future with a saw saw,
And refastned with a longer screw into the tin carrier thru the insulation with a insulation washer to spread the load.
This construction is
Forming a ventilation channel between the tin boards and the massoinate/ hdf . The over sides of the roof truss will be ventilated to!
Then it will be possible to replace the" tin carrier"/the tin in the future. even adding plastic /( if that's needed then ) or water proofing over the truss upper sides . If spray foam is what he wants hi can have it sprayed on the hdf /massonit undersides. They are textured and quite cours ,and will make a good surface for the foam, to stick to.
I would use the "firmer" mineral wool bats Instead of foam ,and screw them in the 2"2 bats ,thru the wood sheets with metal fasting insulation washers.
They are impossible to burn they can handle being waterlogged and dry up without collapsing like glass wool does, they dont get moldy they also make a nice sound dampner, think there is a risk that the shop will be quite noisy with all these hard materials.
Anoder benefit is that the workshop does not need to be masked / protected from spray all over the place when insulating.
They can be painted if a particular colour is wanted.
Or be used in there native colour.
They are also not prown to
Yellowing / surface degradation, like foam does
Sorry if the English is not perfect /not my native languish .
I Hope he reads this ,foam directly on thin is not a good idea. (If you ask me) but its Matt's workshop not mine....
Looks nice Matt. But the biggest challenge will be the the overhead crane. Also I would like to suggest to invest in some lengths of old conveyor belt. If you roll something with tracks in it will protect your nice concrete floor
I gotta say the sound of a mandolin is my favorite. I’m born and raised in Appalachia WV so it’s part of my roots.
Matt I would change absolutely nothing if your shop was mine. It’s perfect!
I enjoy this build as much as machine builds . I designed and built my shop too. Its funny how we all think pretty much alike. Your shop is killer . Spray foam on the ceiling will work great . It will be tighter than a nuns ninney when your finished . Great job !!!!!
That tin really does brighten up the place. Can't wait to see what it looks like after you get it all done
"Some of you may not, but its not your shop." 🤣🤣Those are words to live by right there.
Matt you're so meticulous in everything you do. My father would've really liked you for the working man you're. I found your channel when you bought the CAT 977 dozer, I was searching UA-cam for earthmoving equipment. My father was a earthmoving contractor, he also was a qualified diesel/petrol mechanic, he had welding skills too and he repaired all his earthmoving machinery himself. He worked hard all his life and made plenty of money doing so. In 1987 he was diagnosed with uncureable Malonoma and passed away in 1990 at 54 yrs of age and I love watching your work and your machine shop looks great 👍🏻. You remind me of my father. Thanks for your video's.
❤❤👍👍🇭🇲
hello mat i been enjoying your videos for over 2 years now and love u working on heavy equipment and bring them back to work
Glad you like them!
@@DieselCreek I like them
Consider running an air duct from floor to ceiling. This will give you direct access to the hottest and coldest levels of the shop. Other things can be plumbed into this duct, such as : Air purification, humidification, heat / cooling, exhaust air out, fresh air in. Useful example : Pull hot air from the top of the shop and blow it down to floor level during winter season, while filtering dust and adding humidity at the same time. Flaps can be opened or closed at floor or ceiling level if you wish to only exhaust from one point. Ceiling fans recirculate air nicely, but you cant do all this^ extra stuff with the air.
Very impressed how much work Goes into Making a Shop Especially all being done yourself Everything from ground work to Slab work to Building and External and Internal Work for building.. I also Love watching RR Buildings YT Channel Matt 8:07 @Diesel Creek
Personally, I like the videos showing progress as it happens as opposed to dumping a huge video after it's done. Really cool to see how far you've come from the container shop!
Literally I was thinking if this channel had a new video to watch and a few moments later we have a new video!! Perfect 👌
Hope you enjoyed it!
"It's not your shop." Damn straight Matt. It's yours and your build. Nice job!!
"The Shop has been taking 110% of my Time"
We don't even care... Matt your Shop has been a Pleasure to watch being built, and on top of that, we've all learnt a thing or Three about the Workshop Building process as well
Thanks! thank you for making us dream, your shop is not just yours, it belongs to all of us.
Knowing that you have succeeded in this titanic feat gives me hope, maybe one day I will too...in the meantime I'll buy you a cold beer. A hug my friend
Some people are bitter and envious of other people’s success - and some people…people like you…celebrate other people’s success. The latter is such a rare and wonderful quality. It’s as it should be.
@@matthewjohnston1400 thanx bro, i really appreciate that😉👍
@@matthewjohnston1400 Doubt that anyone is jealous , bitter of someone else's success.
What people forget is that this is paid for with income from youtube and for and you need a lot of loyal followers.
Without followers, there would not be a workshop of this size.
So whose credit is it?
Of course, those who watch and like and support the channel.
@@iceblue72wot the credit is due to the person creating the content, but we can and should take some satisfaction in being along for the ride in a way that is impossible in the conventional media space. It’s fun watching creators grow their channels and achieve their goals - and these creators are typically very grateful to their subscribers, as you would expect.
Thank you so much! I couldt do this stuff without you all!
Looks great Matt and to do both walls in just 26 minutes is mind blowing LOL
But it made it brighter in there with the white panels 👍👍
It does!
26 minutes 😆
Can't beat Kyle (RR) for metal buildings. He shows all the best practices. Your building is looking good.
AWESOME! Love your very common sense saying "It's not your shop". Plus the Semi-Supervillians are AMAZING!
Always good to see someone living their dream. Great work!
That wall tin is PLUSH! Suggestion: mount a couple of spotlights where they can add fill for shots, then you can skip lightstands. That's going to be a GREAT work area / studio!
A toy shop to die for, so envious , live life like you mean it !!!😎
It must be a very satisfying feeling to use all this equipment that you "Resurrected" yourself, on all these projects. I suppose one could say that you are the modern day Dr. Frankenstein of old equipment. IT'S ALIVE...IT'S ALIIIIVE!!!!
Can't wait to see the overhead crane install
Shops looking awesome Matt! I know it seems like your close to finishing, but you’ll be 2 years into it before you have everything setup the way you want it. I built a 40x40 16’ tall and the build took about a year, and getting everything setup inside took almost another year. So worth it in the end, can’t wait to see the rest of the build!
At 22:40 “It’s Not your Shop”. Love that quote ❤
Spray foamed ceiling, but painted black would look AMAZING
“Some of you may not like that. Well it’s not your shop!” Well said Matt. Well said!
He doesn't have to tell us that. He does it all the time. We know it's not ours but ours to admire by being a subscriber. Yes some smart a%$ is going to say well I don't have to be a subscriber to him and that's right but it's the attitude on how you say it and he'll loose subscribers if he keeps it up.just saying
Sorry but he got a thumbs down for that comment from me.
I'm sure if it wasn't for all the subscribers,merch etc this wouldn't have happened as soon as it has. It may not be ours physically,but I'm sure everyone feels that they have a part in it.
Really pleased for you Matt - looks fantastic
One of the few channel intros I don't skip. Supervillains 👍
RR does amazing work. I spent a few weeks recovering on the couch after surgery and watched all of his videos a couple years ago.
The white really makes the shop much brighter!! That’s going to make it so much better to see what you’re doing. Really happy for you bro!
The shop is looking mint! Can’t wait for the day you start pulling equipment in to start tearing into it! Been a long journey but you have built a shop to be proud of. Well done
First major spill on that floor is gonna result in a video of a grown man in tears...
That all looks fantastic, Matt!
You're correct- it's your Shop, your $, your way.
just have to say, i love the mandolin being played in the intro song. The Semisuper villians NAILED it with this song!! Love it reminds me of my grandfathers Mandolin and how beautiful it is and he was.
Glad you enjoyed!
Morning Matt. Hope today goes well for you and your family. (Mechanical and people)
Same to you!
@@DieselCreek thanks 😊. I certainly have my suspicions that it may
Thanks again Matt. Things are coming along nicely, albeit slower then expected. Happy for ya to finally have a shop!!
RR building does amazing work. That guy is top notch with his buildings!
The Bob Ross of construction.... not happy with the window metal, let's make it a door! Great video Matt.
I'm also looking forward to see the crane system installed. Love the channel!
Matt, what got me watching your videos was when I scrolled thru UA-cam and found you working on your conex box trusses. That's what hooked me in! Lol I also very much can appreciate how you repurpose everything as I'm 70 years old and come from a time when you didn't waste things and money was tight. Now, we've gone full circle, and your skill set will may teach this generation how to " make do" with what you have! Good job Brother!
Hiya Matt,
Can I suggest a suggestion? Oh, go on, please? Okay, here goes. You know that red tin that was protection for your order? Put a piece on the inside of each man door. That is, if it will work without hitting the surrounds etc. The red will show where the door is ultra easy in a fire, and red is one of the colours that show up in flames. Plus, it will look cool with the high contrast. But then, it is not my shop, so... It looks wonderful; well done for a great video and build; just two men achieving that much in so short a time is miraculous.
Stay safe, Steve...
Can't really complain about the footage, this new shop is going to pead to a future of footage for you and the rest of us. I may be speaking for myself but this is just as exciting as watching you restore equipment becaue of what this building will do for you and your needs/future needs. I would rather see you in an organized equipped shop out of the weather than the time it takes you now, this shop will allow you to be more efficient and its convenient for you more so now than your current operation. It's turning out fantastic and its not my shop or project lol.
Great video Matt. Of course, I love your opening with the band, that is great. Also, love the progress you are making. Can't wait till the next one. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
Great Friday when Diesel Creek is uploading 🦺🥰
Jokes on you I'm from the future, it's Saturday here 😜
@@jesseb619 Hahahaha 🤣
Coming along nicely Matt. That’s a nice shop! Can’t wait to see that bridge crane.
I think the shop looks great it took a long time but having guy's doing the job that ate one of the best I gotta say that the crew that did the concrete they did a top notch job !!! It sure beats working on a concert pad because the rest of the yard was mud.
One more thing before you finish--An owl nesting box or two. Instructions are online and of course dictated by the owls which tend to roam your area. They'll help keep down the population of those mice everyone hates. The one on my barn is a plastic 44 gallon drum turned sideways with the entrance hole to the outside of the barn wall. I was lucky enough to have great horned owls nesting in there for a couple of years. They still come around but the barn cats make them too nervous to nest there these days.
Wasn’t sure what to expect with the internal sheeting .
Yes indeed it looks pretty good Matt .
The plan all comes together ...always a good feeling! Very nice Matt! 👍
For those who take on a metal siding project similar to this one, a trick of the trade in handling each piece, is to roll into a circle each piece as you handle it, from where it's laying on the ground (or horse's / work platform,) to where you unroll each piece and install as necessary. You'll find it creates great strength / rigidity, so as to prevent the panel from warping / bending of the individual piece. You will also find a single person can handle a single panel to twenty foot lengths no problem.
Awesome to see S.S.V playing the intro live in front of the new shop!
Amazed at your ability to do so many things well ! Congratulations on your dream shop.
Your shop is looking fantastic. All of the thought and planning that you have put into this is making all of dreaming come true. Good that it has taken you a year to build, this has allowed you time to make sure that you have it right the first time for your future plans. I am sure that you will happier than a pig in a blanket when you can work in your nice warm well lite shop out of the weather.

Woooohoo, another update. Love this series! Keep up the great content Matt 👍👍
So happy for you, Matt. Dreams do come true! You were right about how bright it would be with white walls! Yowzer! Sunglasses, please! 😎👏👍✨❤
You made a good point about the doors. We have metal roll-ups at work and with their frequent use they constantly break down.
I like the rafters the way they are
Hey Mat, shed is coming along nicely. Viewing from down under
Love the new shop and the content that you send out, but the guys from Semi-Supervillains playing the music in front of the shop is awesome. Keep it up!!!
Those walls turn out
nice Great job Matt.
It's going to be so nice
once your overhead
crane is installed.
You will discover that if a sheet is slightly off plumb, and you should be checking every couple of sheets, there are a couple of tricks to bring them back to plumb while maintaining the all important fit on the ribs. Every builder who hangs metal sheets has figured that out, good builders anyway. Those sheets will move during installation, by now you know that. White is a great call for interior light dispersion.
nice video and really nice shop. I would probably do the same in Terms of layout but id change some stuff. Id start the trim right over the windows and do everything under it with woodsheeting. Then you can easily screw light and medium weight things to the wall and switch the bords out if they get damaged
It's looking good, congratulations on all your hard work and effort.
And I often use a variation on the response "if you don't like the way I did it, feel free to do it differently when you build yours". Because, yeah, I did it the way I wanted to do it.
Matt, please put that service truck you bought long ago at the top of your list! What better thing to have to go out and be able to work on things you find away from your new shop of course. Love your channel 😊
Matt your shop is amazing you should be proud as I'm sure you are I myself am making a big leap this year as I am building my wife and myself our dream home at almost 60 years old.
Really happy for you man. Great looking shop.
Can't wait for the concrete to be poured at the other end of the shop and create the 'drive thru' ability of the shop (then you will really be able to cycle through some projects!). Love how you color matched the old container shed to match the Dream Workshop!
You Sir, are a perfectionist and a very clever young man. Brilliant stuff.
Looks like a dream !!!
Looking awesome Matt! Going to need protection from the reflections when you're in there welding. Your cutting mistake is one that I'm good at. I measure once, cut 3 times and it's still too short! But really, on some critical measurements I use the 1" mark and have to remember to do the math the right way. And it's easy to be distracted by conversation or that phone we can't live without anymore.
Well I was going to bed…..
Me too lol not now
not in america? only 7 in the mornin
Australia 🇦🇺- a worldwide audience for young Matt
@@pumper8032 nice man!
It's a hard life. I had to grab another beer and watch the new video.
Now time to hit the fart sack.
Love the Semi Super Villans Music there are so Good Very relaxing Music thanks for Always Including there music in the videos Matt 0:02 @Diesel Creek
Glad you like them!
@@DieselCreek hope your week is going well Matt
That is my kind of attitude , If you do not like it , well "T.S." it is my shop. I applaud you sir , and keep it up.
Love the work and videos 😃
Thanks! 😀
Walls look great Matt, My shop is spray foamed and walls are white also. Once I had spray foam complete I ended up leaving the ceiling open also, but sprayed everything flat black to cover that ugly yellow tint of the foam. Something to think about and it actually helped brighten the area even more if that makes sense. You can see it in some of my videos I think. Its a very clean look and finishes the upper half very well. Thanks for taking us along on the shop build, doing a great job.
Flat black is a bad "BAD" idea! unless you want to dissipate the busy aspect of the rafters crisscrossing in the background of videoing. that said. I have worked in buildings as an HVAC tech. many-many years. Leave the foam insulation as is. Black seems to negate the distraction of busyness in the background, White ceiling with light fixtures BX conduit J boxes, and ductwork is hidden in Black but let someone move or add anything. It's like stars at night! that will really be distracting in the video background. True the overhead crane will be in the foreground. that will be distracting enough! Leave foam as is My experience once painted Black you can't stop touching it up!
Matt I'm 100% certain you know this, but man you're living the dream having a shop that big. Must feel like you won the lottery, only you earned it. I can't imagine, but someday I hope to.
One word for your shop man...AWESOME.
Great shop , Matt ! Well done with the tin walls. I did a lot of the same stuff, and yes , it’s difficult, and SHARP. 😊
Good work takes time, thought and effort. You are probably like me when it comes to building stuff. In your mind you build it and deconstruct it a thousand times before the physical build. That why you know where every stick of wood and nail will go. Love your channel, Matt. You have taught this old dog a few tricks. Cheers from New Brunswick, Canada!
A suggestion would be to have double outlets installed up top (cable real outlets), that way once you install work benches and overhead cabinets, you can have strip lighting under the cabinets for working at bench.
Looking great with the walls clad and I agree with previous comments regarding a large Diesel Creek sign, one for the front above doors and also one inside as a backdrop for filming wrenching vids
Cool to see Vinnie and the boys jammin' live at the Creek! Gotta have a concert inside when you are finished!
Awesome content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Excellent presentation,really nice shop,congratulations you have worked hard for your dream.
Yes, thank you!
Those window cutouts help you appreciate all the whole panels.
Bollards. Overhead doors and exterior corners.
Great build so far.
Keep up the good work, Matt. You & a new awesome shop will surely mean great videos to come (and comfortable for you and those who help you out). Looking forward to more great content from Diesel Creek.
Love those sheet metal cutters. Hard to put up metal without them. Congratulations, on the shop getting soooo much closer to finish. When will the crain go in? What a great shop!!!
Really? All the time he was using them I was thinking that they were total crap and an angle grinder would be way faster, especially on cross cuts.
So muck Progress in 1 year it Looks Great, the inside look BIG & BRIGHT with the Tin on Thanks for the Wonderful Video Matt
Thank you.
