Oh fuck yes here we go again
Crazy the glow up from Forza to having your own shop, doing builds from start to finish. Keep it up man!
Hey whats going guys, it gingium. today were gonna be racing a 1998 GMC Jimmy vs a Lambo
once he ran as the garage door was closing now he has multiple doors lol
Imagine owning the entire building in 5 years 😎
He becomes the land owner for the whole property, renames it the Gingium Complex, already built a whole second floor, Buildium back at it again with the woodworking and wall raising and rennovations.
He doesn't own any of it. Which is odd because he is dumping 1000s of dollars and man hours into improving the property value for the land lord. I feel like ging is going to get fucked over in the future.
It definitely can happen but it’s a 50/50 that happens
@@Sky-qd2mf100% correct that he's going to get screwed at some point on all of it. Realistically he most likely knows all of this, but does it anyways for content (revenue + channel growth) and personal growth.
Unless you are the owner I wouldn't invest a dime in it. That's like number 1 rule when you are renting. And if you have made some deal with the landlord make sure it is in writing. No verbal or handshake deals. This is all just common sense.
Looking forward to the shop improvements, it's coming together nicely so far, I'm especially excited for the paint booth, it's really all the shop needs to be able to do everything to a build from start to finish
Yes exactly! Build a car from beginning to end with great results, all at the Gingnasium!
@@_Gingium_Maybe we will be seeing a full top to bottom restoration of a new car? A new Eclipse or something completely different?
@@_Gingium_I’m a ginge som I’m definitely gonna have to visit eventually
Wonder what build we will see in 2024
Can't wait to see the finished product, your vision for it sounds super sick!
I appreciate! Should be done in no time!
I just hope the landlord is giving you free rent for fixing it lol
Looks like it's time to revise on your carpentry/framing skills. Maybe a partition ceiling for that area between shops would help with the jank shaping, which can be done with some timber framing and then wall material finishing. This gives you the chance to add some lights and wiring to both ends.
Definitely want some sound-proofing insulation between the toilet and the other areas, so you can ring the taco bell without anyone else hearing your bowels ejecting themselves out of your bum.
As a little nitpick for me? Maybe make the door and the surrounding trim/skirting to the toilet a different material/color to the rest of the wall.
Lol at the end you act like the entire comment isn't you nitpicking.
@datalorian to sh!t in insulated peace shouldn't be considered nit-picking.
The partition ceiling would also help with preventing the smell of waste going up and out. Just need a vent of some kind to get the smell outside.
I'm SO EXCITED for this, also sounds dumb but why not add a mezzanine floor in the old shop ? Maybe with stairs for either stoolrage or a a chill pad, so you can edit or hang out up there?
I’d definitely recommend a ceiling over the shitter
He'd need to put in an extractor fan if he did to stop build up of methane fumes I think.
behind the sink theres a good 3 feet of wall space between the shop and storage side. i wonder if its filled in or potentially a dead space just blocked up.
It's great to see things working out so well for you. Truly living the dream dude 😎 btw that Molly envy got the best of me, I just bought an NA MX5
Haha hell yeah! Congrats on the Miata!
If you are framing a doorway again, run the bottom plate continuous and cut it out afterwards. That’ll keep the bottom lined up so the door will function correctly later! Good work!
You've maybe already thought about this, but maybe paint a small section of the floor of that new shop area by the bathroom a different color? Like to signify/warn that there is a step going down into the bathroom area/old shop. Excited to see what you do with this new space!
Would be a sick ass show room for cars with lights and everything, would be badass
Yeah, I'm interested in this new series.
Good :)
Really enjoyed this video. Giving me some ideas for The Boost Cave
The return of Woodworkium! Have you thought about a ramp from the old shop to the new? Might help the transition and make it easy if you need to transport heavy things on dollies or wheels.
Put a ceiling on the restroom and put a vent fan on it
No way man!! I enjoy your videos so much. I have a busy life as a production welder, but when I choose to sit back and spend my time bingeing UA-cam I always come to gingium, my mechanics, and unfortunately Danny Duncan. I’m so happy to see that you don’t have to leave that Badass shop and that the extra room is already there waiting for you!! Also I got a esab A50 as my everyday welding hood bc if your channel and its “muah” chefs kessss. 😊
Congratulations with with the expansion of your shop Caleb!
Honestly haven't watched sense the last shop rehab. Glad to see this happening again.
This is siiiiick. Gonna make getting work done even easier.
Congratulations on the new space! Looking forward to the transformation videos!
Good stuff man, you were an inspiration to me at a young age. Now i have my own shop where i do my YT builds aswell, thanks for making awesome content 🤘🏼
Man it's wild seeing you go from the Forza science days way way back when to having your own shop. Awesome to see how far you've come
Just a thought if you care a bit about hygiene: If the sink stays outside the bathroom, install a lever for the door so you can open it with your elbow after taking a shit. That way you don't have to touch the door knob before washing your hands.
im surprised you didnt work to move the bathroom so you could have a doorway big enough to drive a car through. looks like a fun new space though.
Only think I would have suggested is to make a ramp from one shop to the other. You are going to be wheeling things back and forth.
So freakin stoked to watch this series!!
Nice to consider the other units while doing your work. Awesome job. Gonna be cool!
Shop improvement projects like this are a great way to decompress from working on the vehicles. Keeps the motivation up. Look forward to seeing what you do with the additional space.
You should paint that step with yellow caution stripes
That toilet is going to be just fine. Might not be up to code, but it's definitely good enough for a shop like this. If/when you move out, you might have to tear it down though, not sure about the regulations in US, so it might not be the case.
I’m excited for you to have the paint booth! I remember when you painted your FC gray in a makeshift paint booth. 😄
honestly, that framing is basically bang-on. you only need 2 plates (header) and jack studs if there is any kind of load on the top. if it's just its own independent structure and you don't plan on putting stuff on top of it then you are framing fine how you are. Excited to see how this place looks in the near future!
This is awesome!
Who knew an old storage unit facility could be so perfect.
I’m beyond excited for you and this space. Watching all my favorite content creators grow their passion, their skill set and most importantly, have the funding to expand their environment and continue on growing is so awesome to experience over the years of viewership.
Crazy to think you started with video games. Amazing to see how far this media platform can get someone.
Well done 👍🏼
Well cool!
save yourself some money the sink is just fine it works as a sink. And it still won't feel like one big shop your separated no matter what unless you knock the whole wall down. But if you gonna do powder coating it should be closed off it will get everywhere in the open shop
Hoping you’ll finally get the attention you deserve in 2024
Make sure when you’re purchasing stuff for the paint booth, that you look at the Eastwood Dustless Sanding Block!
Considering how far the current shop space has come since you moved in, I have no doubt this extra space will be amazing!
I remember the Illinois shops, and how space was real limited in the last IL unit, you've never fully had enough space, so to have this extra room is a great bit of luck for Caleb!
Bro i gotta comment on the beginning with the milwaukee cut off wheel. I have always ran milwaukee stuff but the m18 stuff tends to do that and i can’t for the life of me figure out why. As an RV tech, they usually like to do it when I’ve finally got myself crammed into a 4x4 foot compartment and only have one hand to use lol. My Dewalt stuff has never done that. All nonsense aside, im stoked for this man. You’ve brought to youtube some of my favorite builds and you deserve it! Let’s goooo ‘24!
Love seeing you getting more successful!
When you first moved down and then you were so sad about not finding a shop, your views getting down and so on. But now fucking look at you!
Hey man get well soon dawg we gonna miss you ❤
That tenant is awesome for letting you do all this awesome stuff!
As someone else said, Gingium might just end up owning the whole place in 5 or so years XD
Really excited to see the paint booth come together. Congrats on the new space Caleb! Going to have the whole building pretty soon 👍
Awesome! Looking forward to following the shop build
absolutely love to see the shop growing more!!
Nice work. Can't wait to see how it looks all finished up. Definitely always need more space and Storage
If I can make a suggestion about removing the red plastic tile in front of the sink. Wouldn’t it be safter to leave it there just in case you guys are washing up an accidentally get water on the floor then it wouldn’t be so slick?? Less work for you, still matches the floor in the bathroom area, and has some bit of traction vs a wet epoxied floor where water would blend right in. Just my 2 cents. Can’t wait to see what you do in the next video!
Epoxy is better because if you splash dirty water on the ground, it's easier to clean up than rubber/plastic tiles.
This is sick. Can't wait to see it all come together for sure!!!! A whole other level of stuff!!!
Love a good shop build!
FYI you installed the door upside down. Thats why the handle is so high up.
I’d move the sink next to the toilet in the “old” shop so that the walkway is much bigger. Requires some plumbing but would be nice.
how? the handle is center of door its a prehung it doesnt have a set direction.
@@nicklevy2179if it was centered it would be level with the middle hinge. If the door was installed correctly the handle would be below the middle hinge, where it supposed to be.
So stoked for this upgrade. Congrats Caleb!!!
Congrats! Happy for you!
That is like a dream come true! Space right next to your shop -- Amazing! congrats
Almost exactly your 2 year anniversary since properly moving in! Time flies. I love your project cars, but the shop build is my favourite project.
Put a piece of 1 by 1 behind the lock on the door facing on the wall to stop the door.. plus I'd put the sink in the new shop it's close to the water and not hard to run that way you have more room in the thru way to each shop
Love all the work!!! Wish I had a shop!! Would be amazing. Keep up the videos love everything you do.
So pumped for more shop updates!! The last shop series was how I found this channel
So excited for this series!
Love to see you grow man! You deserve it! You've worked for it!
Great video love the shop upgrades keep the jdm builds coming then you got a fan for life 👊
Sounds exciting. Looking forward to the video
Looks good! only thing is PLEASE add a little rubber corner/edge piece or some yellow hazardtape for step, i can guarentee if u dont put a second step people are gonna trip on it!
Can’t wait for the shop builds. I found your channel because of them and stayed since.
Need to leave space clear for an rc drift track!. Heap of yokomo's in a train would be mad!
What an amazing opportunity. Big fab shop with car storage and small projects on the side.
I love shop videos, and anything to do with it!
This is awesome Caleb
Love these type of videos.
Never thought i would enjoy watching Caleb building a toilet so much
I swear Gingium is a landlord's dream
Shop evolving loving it 🔥🔥💯💯💯😤😤😤
Honestly this is one of the best reveals using the angle grinder
This is dope man I'm excited for you
I feel like taking something and turning it into something else is what this channel is built on. That being said, doesn’t it worry you putting this much work into a property you are renting? Must have a great relationship with the landlord
This is awesome! ❤
Love these series! Excited for ya Gingium 😎😎🔥🔥
Well done keep moving forward I have not been watching for a while but I think I will start again
I'm keen for this one.
In ESTONIA we insulate all the walls. Otsides walls and inside walls. Why. Better noise reduction and cosy and comfy. Holds home are whatever warm.
Finally I love this shop built
Gingium always underrated in my opinion. Always growing thou. Skills always improving.
That's sweet that you were able to expand without moving after all the work you did pimping the other bay/shop.
Love the shop videos!
My absolute favorite car UA-camr! Super pumped for you dude!
Caleb i would put wood frame around the entrance. To make it match the. Rest of your toilet surround
super stoked for you! big moves! keep up the hard work and big dreams!
long time follower.
Hell yea dude, stoked for you. So much more room!
sadly seen this on Instagram first but I say best reveal to a shop ever just cutting a hole in your bathroom wall.
calling it now he’s gonna own a racetrack in a few years 😄
Was happy to see a Ging Video! Props bro!
Good job.
He just keeps getting better!
This is awesome
love the shop content!
What a dream. I love it ❤
This is going to be awesome, cant wait!
Brilliant video and awesome with a bigger shop! have you considered the size of the opening between the two spaces? if you need to move big parts or tools while its raining. it doesn't look very big on camera.
Love this content man please keep it up
Awesome! New/bonus space is always fun. I would keep that mini garage door, that way if you do want to separate it for any reason like if you're doing dirty work that's generating lot of dust you can close it. Also what is the space behind the sink, if I'm visualizing it correctly there is a bit of space behind there between shop and new area extending all the way to the outside wall.
