Hey Caleb I install lifts for a living, if I was inspecting those lifts they would immediately fail because of the anchoring. I'm not as familiar with bendpak but every 2 post I've installed comes with 5-1/2 anchors which looks to be what these did come with. Most lifts want minimum 4-1/4 inches of 3000psi concrete with minimum 3-1/4 anchor embedment, as well as staying around 3-1/2 inches from cracks, seams in the floor, relief cuts, edges of the concrete, old anchors etc. which you can't see some of those issues with the epoxy already on the floor. Those anchors are pulled up way too far so either you don't have enough concrete or the concrete there is low psi or cracked/weak. I would guess you have maybe 1-2 inches of embedment on some anchors especially the ones near the drain, also since you cut off the extra length of the anchor that would also be an immediate fail due to that alone. With the little amount of room to move the lifts around in your shop I would seriously recommend you to remove the lifts and get new concrete pads poured. I do not want to see you get hurt or killed from those lifts failing please take my recommendation for your safety
Replying to boost engagement so hopefully he sees this
I install, maintain and do insurance inspections on garage equipment in the UK and funnily enough used to fit Bendpak ramps and this 100% my thoughts. The bolts pulling up is extremely concerning. The cutting of the bolts is an instant condemn. Please please please get some concrete pads. I don't know if the specs in the US is different but 1m squared and 500mm deep is what we would recommend, but it will also say in the manual minimum concrete specs. It may seem overkill and a ballache but it's better than a lift falling. I've seen it happen and it isnt pretty.
I see a lot of these videos and the fact Bendpak don't send professional fitters out when they ship the lifts is appalling.
I'm a big fan of all of his work, but yea you should definitely trust lift installs to the professionals. Really don't want them to fail when he's under a car.
Replying to bump engagement for this too, don't want to see him get hurt because of an avoidable mistake like the Eclipse's fire
Also replying for engagement, hopefully he sees this
i said it in the last video about the shop and ill say it again: fire safety!!
i didn't see any fire extinguishers around or any sprinklers, and seeing how much wood is being used im really concerned if anything goes wrong. stay safe man.
dont think its wise to block the breakerbox also, stay safe!
i agree, i was looking at those posts, maybe an extinguisher and a cup holder can be mounted on XD
I did see some extinguishers in a couple shots that were on the steps to that mystery door that he move the nuts and bolts storage onto. But I agree always have safety stuff readily accessible.
Fire sprinklers are part of the entire building and is the landlord’s (or building owner’s) responsibility. And depending on the age of the building and size, they probably weren’t required when the building was built.
Hi. If you don't want to take lifts off and do better ground for them, then you should weld some strong profile on top of them to prevent the folding.
12:13 went from the caster couches to the casting couch 😂
Came... here to say this lol
Man, I remember when you were pissing off your neighbors by working on your cars in the driveway, and now you've got the nicest DIY shop I've ever seen, and you did ALL of this yourself. Massive respect, you're truly an inspiration.
What I love about Caleb is just whenever he wants something he looks it up online. Figures out that its is unnecessary expensive and then just thinks, fack it i'll do it myself
Agreed, and sometimes it looks yanked 😂
Yeah, I've been watching since the Forza days, and a lot of times like it is like this and he fucks it up and has to do it again. But he's honest about it, because I mean they're mistakes most of us would make too. Might be why I still watch, to learn from his mistakes 😂
Ain't knocking where you've come from, or anything You've accomplished. I've watched you grow for years. Back when you lifter your first Miata. I've never understood why you don't just buy your own place. I get there can be a billion reason, but in all honesty, you are adding value to someone else's equity. Either way, still gonna watch. Would love to see you build a Datsun, and bring back Dad's roadster... Keep the videos coming! ❤
It's probably got to do with the income he has not being stable enough for him to pay mortgage, and with companies making it increasingly impossible to buy real estate unless you're with the government, or earning 7 figures a year at the bare minimum, it's also hard to get a place of your own when you're younger.
@@WildWildWeasel don't get me wrong. I understand all that. But I know he's had sponsors for a while now. Again, not knocking him at all. Hell I'm 45 and have never owned. But if this was his place he'd be benefiting from the equity... To each their own. ❤️
@@danielhughes9556 I'm sure he's waiting on the right moment to make the move at some point. I have my own apartment and two cars myself (nothing fancy tho just a normal apt, a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Subaru Outback, both from the early 00s) and yeah I did get all this before the p*nd*mic (2018) but even back then it wasn't too hard to rack up abit and afford a home (I was 23 working 2 jobs-)
@@danielhughes9556 Wouldn't necessarily think it did much to LL equity, most of the equipment/ lighting can be taken down moved to a new location since they are owned/ installed by Caleb, the biggest expenses that are more permanent would be floor finish and walls/ paint. Also it builds rapport with landlord, which in turn may help him with rental expenses. Who knows, in the future if/ when landlord decides to sell the property, Caleb may have the opportunity to bid on it. Either way loving the content.
It also seems like he has a sweetheart deal with the landlord. Rent sucks 99% of the time but we do t know the truthful terms of this particular arrangement.
The wooden tub storage is a good idea but kinda worried in the future when those tubs start to get heavy and the plastic handles start to bend.
yeah wouldve been better to support from the bottom and have a beam through the middle of the tub under it to the back. it would add a lot more rigidity to the whole frame as well
And also I would fix it to the wall , it's easy to push it taking a box out
you just put many other shops to shame. awesome work as always.
EYO this man said an in-house dyno?!
damn dude, thats a wild sponsorship by Bendpak, very very high quality lifts. so proud of you!
Love a shop revamp video so satisfying to see the change I think jimmy oaks needs to watch this video n get some inspiration to do this to his shop
The fact you’re not at 1 million subs is criminal
In my eyes I see gingium and one of the top 3 car UA-camrs
Dude, you were a blessing for this old shop! It looks so amazing now!
who would've thought Caleb hot gluing his Subaru in his parent's garage to OWNING his own shop...man time flies and it's always dope seeing him always improving
I mean, he rents. But crazy to see how far he’s come.
Lol I was gonna say he dosent own it 😮
Still. Bros came such a long way. I still remember the black Subaru witb gold paint flakes.
@@macneg exactly regardless if he’s renting or owning his shop. he’s come such a long way and we’re all proud of him
@@macneg Low key miss that subie
I dont know how gingium does it but i just watched 35mins and it went past so fast like a regular 9min video...dude will make me fall in love with long form content again I think. GOOD JOB GING❤
Been watching since the Built Vs Bought Forza days, it’s crazy how far you have come in all these years. What I admire most about you is your ability to just make whatever it is that you want or need by figuring it out and fabricating it yourself. Whether it was learning how to bend and cut metal/weld for your desired modifications and doing the same with the interior of the adventurer bus. The range in which you’re able to create things physically now is genuinely impressive
That landlord loves you improving his building, that’s for sure.
that’s what I was thinking, I don’t get it
i can’t believe it’s been 3 years of this shop, i swear it’s like yesterday you moved to Georgia
Congrats on all your success! Been watching since v1 of the rally miata and i seem drawn here more than any other channel because you can see the steady progression of skill growth over the years and had inspired me
honestly bothers me so much you don't have a million subs, you got one of the best and real content out there, great vibes always
This by far has been my favorite shop update video, the music, the vibes, the edits. So cool ❤️
thanks for the idea for the tote shelf.
Caleb is good at everything
As a guy who likes everything to have a place and everything in its place, I am all for this. Love it. Thanks for making it!
Great job! This video was amazing to watch, the shop progress is insane!!
Thanks heaps for always having great content. These videos especially inspire me to keep pushing my own projects a little further. Keep being rad!
Looks absolutely amazing. Love that you try new things. Respect. Well done
You'll need to keep us updated on how well the tubs hold up in that rack. I wouldn't expect that rim of the tub to be able to support much weight.
Man your shop is a major vibe. So sick with all the signs and flags with the black and white combo. It’s crazy to see how far you’ve come man 🔥💪🏾
My dream shop right here
YO GINGIUM, make sure you install some new fire extingushers!!! at least 2, one on each side!! be safe. shop looks awesome!
Congrats...shop looks dope...cant believe you did all that with very little help...love the shop content..
THE SHOP LOOKS SO GOOD!
CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE BEAT CONTENT!
I wanna see a loft built in the main shop area, that would be next level.
And this lads is how it's done, LET'S GO
Mad respect, that all looks so good!
Those new bendpak lifts make the place look even more amazing!
You deserve this man you did it all by yourself dude your amazing
That's really impressive how well that epoxy flooring cuts in! 👍
Living the dream man, keep up the good work.
I love these types of videos!! Great improvements can’t wait to see more
So sick, big props to bendpak! cant wait to see more beatpower!!
Dude you're such a madman for putting that first lift up by yourself. I love ya for it but damn 😂. Shop is looking legendary now i''m so happy for you and hyped to see you use it on some crazy new projects. can't wait 🔥
new shop layout turned out great ! you will love those bendpak lifts , i put their 10apx in my shop also and definitely worth it !
Great looking shop!
Love the huge amount of progress in this video, love to see you so happy for your shop and how it's turning out. Can't wait to see you build more crazy shit in the future! Also excited to see what you're planning for the Beat, and the dyno's gonna be sick. No more "waiting for a dyno day" videos, hopefully
Dont short yourself that was a massive shop improvement!
Awesome work Gingium
my favorite thing in this whole garage has to be the Chopped banner :)
LOVE the upgrade haha.
Good lord that was a buttload of work. Came out great! Love the flags, nice touch.
Planning the same thing for my shop here soon. Just need a little warmer weather.
Nice work man ❗️
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT... WE GETTIN A DYYYYYNOOOO?!?! SIIIICK DUUUUUDE!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Ill be waiting for the 🎬🎬
I love a garage update
Dyno 👌👌
Looks great! An adjustable bracket for the tv would be cool so you can swing it around to face the sitting area when you chill out.
Patiently waiting for fabium to come back
Another level dude awesomeness 😊
Im a simple man, I see a gingium video I click and like
Please please please get some fire safety equipment! Maybe install sprinklers? Or at least get 4 fire extinguishers for 4 corners of the shop. Dads friend has lost his shop and his cars due to a small gas leak. + don't want to be THAT GUY but you've dealt with fire yourself so you know how quick and devastating it is
Huge upgrade!
Good job,that's super sick!
I would definitely recommend gettimg those lifts inspected by a professional. Just to be sure the lift is installed 100% safe.
Great job basically installing 2 benpacs yourself!
Landlord loves this guy
Don't forget you can add hooks or nut/bolt bins on the back side of the storage closed door so when you open it you can access common items easily.
How cool would it be if you used those beams as a foundation for a loft hang out area
Would love to hear your opinion on the metric system now that you have used for a good minute. Loving all the upgrades and watching your work!
bendpak for the win! savety first !!!
Hub Dyno Let's GOO!
I was cringing at 22:54 thinking you'd scratch up your floor, but glad to hear no damage was done!!
hi caleb, been watching u for a couple of years now, loving the revamp, you are doing a masterfull work, but i only have one "but" tho, the wood racks you made for everything are neat, but i know from experience that with the passing of the years the racks are gonna sag to one side with the weight you are putting on them unless you "cross-brace" it with triangles or x´s on the back of them. I hope this may help out, loving the content dude, keep it up :D
One of the hardest working automotive UA-camrs.
Adding a plywood triangle to tie in all the sides of the tire rack will strengthen the unit a lot.
I wrote this same early this morning to wrong thread. Hopefully now it will show on right place.
If you don't want to take lifts off and do better ground for them, then you should wels some strong profile on top of them to prevent the folding.
Noice!
FYI, flags melt and burn real well with mig spatter ;)
Would be amazing to add a second story to just the center of the shop to store bumper hoods and other large items that take up too much room or keepsake items.
Im watching a video of gingium being hype about a storage closet long before i click on a UA-camr who’s hype about a new car because thats genuine excitement
To get from where you was to where you are now in this small about time is a huge achievement, and I applaud you for that, now you’ve got all the spice to do all this work and all these different bits and pieces. How about this what about a small sterile room to do engine builds in as I think bringing this in house for yourself and the knowledge that you will learn from doing this will be greatly beneficial to yourself
Keep up the good work! Love seeing the improvements. Would def take on some of the suggestions in the comments.
Great video! But, what about the Volvo? I know you were kinda burnt out on it, is it sold? Broken?
banger video as usual
Good video the new lifts are nice. I had an idea for you about the next car you should turbo charge. 1999-2001 Toyota Corolla I’d think it’ll be pretty cool to see that happen
I'm no expert but i think there's a certain concrete thickness that you need and it can't be "kinda leveled"
Is that an SR20DET I spotted on the engine stand? Makes me miss my swapped 240. Super fun car.
Can't believe it has been 3 years already. Damn life is too short...
What’s a Gingium video without a 5 minute welding adventure
Youre awesome caleb
I’m flying you up when I build my shop…
Idk why I like the brick steps leading to the nuts and bolts cabinet so much but I do lmao
You know what the coolest but probably least practical thing would be? To have a vehicle turntable in between the beams where the drift truck is parked. Just have one project parked on it, slowly rotating all day. A far more practical and useful idea, especially if you started building motorcycles/go-kart/buggy-sized projects would be 2-3 bike lift tables or jumbo fabrication benches.
hard work!
Maybe a final touch idea but im a bricklayer from england was thinking about those brick steps, should rake out the mortar to a 2 inch depth and repoint it with a strong nhl 5 lime mortar mix, could use cement but with it being walked on would probably crack over time.
Lime will come up quite white as well would match the walls.
Use like a 1 nhl 5 to 1 yellow sand to 1 brown sand mix for the right colour and strength.
Ik its a random one but would be interesting to see.
Such a great space you have there now, it's ever improving. Have you ever considered making use of those beams and having a small loft space?
Brother man, move the cabinet that's covering the circuit breaker box. You absolutely MUST keep those breakers accessible.
I love the improvements, i do have one question tho, why not use the existing framework, add on to that, and make a 2nd level in your place where u can sit and watch down from?
That structure isn’t designed or sized for the loading of a 2nd floor. And depending on the building occupancy, it may not be allowed by building codes anyway.
Nice improvements! The lift location is going to be so much better too, don't need to move stuff around to get to them anymore and they're much safer. Curious though, how do those work as far as concrete footings, do they require any consideration for that or is a standard slab thickness enough?
Baldium! More fire extinguishers please! I would hate to see this place get eclipsed with how much wood is being used. Stay safe buddy and be careful!
u might want to add a cross brace to that tote storage rack or attach it to the wall. as when u get a bunch of weight it will just lean and fall left or right sense u have no strength to the uprights.
gingium, try get a 4 post hoist for the other back shop so you can store cars that aren't being worked on/driving.
Bro you should build a little loft area on top of those beams.
