Come on guys, the view to like / comment ratio is crap, it takes no time and costs us nothing, but helps Dave out by telling the almighty algorithm people dig this shit
Yeah, we can do better! I call for another (secret!) Tunnel Dave operation! Just remember to like, comment, share if possible, add to a playlist. If we all just do one of those.. 😃👌
This is true, but I’ve seen channels with 500k + views on a single video but only 25k subs. Either the creator needs to add more tags or the algorithm is crap. I think the latter considering AI technology nowadays!
I love the fact that if something breaks you get on and fix it. A skill sorely missing in normal life. I worked for a tarmac firm up until last year and in a company of 15 there was only 2of us who knew how to put track back on a machine, how to jump start rollers or even basic stuff like strip grinders or wackers. For some reason people are scared to get stuck in to something new. That's why I am so happy to find you, Colin Furze, the hacksmith. A new collection of creators. I still always remember that you are making videos and filming apart from everything else. Bravo sir!
Glad you like it! I had the proper countdown when I finished the edit at 7am this morning but UA-cam said there was copyright on it, but not the theme tune so had to edit it 😂
It lifts the 20ft containers off by its self but needs a helping hand with a 40ft, shame it was so wet else I would of had some good drone shots as well
Just been binge watching all your videos. Absolutely amazing content. Your genius madcap British innovative style is indescribably brilliant. Really engaging editing your channel has it all. Thank you Dave!
Absolutely loving the content Dave! When I'm taking breaks from editing my videos, watching content like yours is super relaxing and entertaining. Wish I had a property of my own with the space to do something like this. Keep up the amazing work!
Missed this video until today. Love the rocket launch. Unloading the container was like when my crew was lowering a cooling unit with 2 forklifts and one fellow got ahead and tipped it towards him only to find it was still filled with fridgid water. He took a while to warm up. Looking forward to more work. jack
How can one not love watching this artist at work. A legend in the making for sure. As always EPIC!! Thanks for sharing and continued success on the tunnel Dave. Be safe!!
I'm convinced British people are born natural miners and tunnelers, I liked scurrying around under the floorboards when I was a kid. However, caving and scuba-diving in caves is something you can count me out of, I can think of other ways to die! Anyway, Good Luck and Jolly Well Done With Your Tunnel So Far Tornado Dave!
Of course I'm just a couch quarterback here and you have been doing amazing work (with the cooleat tools!) but I do believe an old fashioned water level would be a lot more accurate. Long hose with water in it going from the house to the well, that will give you an exact point to measure from on both ends. Just my 2 cents. Keep up the awesome work Dave!
Getting it done. Man builds missle silo, uh tunnel, in back yard👍. Missle launch goes wrong 🧨💥... end of tunnel😮 nooo lol. Just small rockets 🚀 we are ok😂.
Could you add an extension onto the front of your cart, a sheet metal bucket, to catch the dirt and rocks as they fall when you drill? When full, just back part way out, drop the lift and hoist the sheet metal bucket up and out to be dumped? It would prevent you from having to lift the small bucket onto the cart. It could be close to the bottom of the tunnel to catch most of the dirt. No need to bring anything back to the bunker.
Yes I had the same thought but the lift is a bit slow and ideally needs 2 of you so it would still take longer, this way the dirt stays in the tubs till you tip it out.
That rocky layer kind of looks like placer, or that's what the miners call it. Ancient river beds. Although the ones they're looking for are laden with gold. Greetings from the USA, state of Virginia.
There is no history of gold in this area and next door it has all been quarried out so I’m sure if there was any, they would have found it. Nice to dig through as a bonus
F.A.B. Dave, deserves a sub for that 😂 but more because of the "I'll just do that" machinery foibles, had my own today with the rideon mower "I'll just do that" not before you spend an hour tryting to get the tyre off to fix another puncture (wheel seized on) only to find the glue in the repair kit has all gone off, so another hr round trip to get glue, 1/2 hr to put the tyre back on, mow the lawn in the dark...
Are you happy that the top of your well is level. Bear in mind that if the opposite walls of the well are 2m apart and 3mm difference in height (for example), if your house is 30m away, your level will have (30/2)*3= 45mm error. Could you use your laser level too check?
My builder mate put those bricks on and he is properly over the top when it comes to making stuff perfect, but it wouldn’t take much of an error to make a 6” difference at the other end so this leads me into what I have planned for the next video 😀
Now all you have to do is pick a brick, put a plate on it, call it a Datum. Then put a second Datum plate in the basement. And a datum every few sections. And then it will be SUPER COOL, and a REAL railway.
Great videos Dave. Does the hatch have a manual override on the latch in case of a flat battery? You wouldn't want to be waiting for it to recharge when topping up the beer supplies.
Good morning, Dave [Oz time] great video, I am getting around my claustrophobia. I am curious to what you do with the spoil from the tunnel. By the way your lad doesn't know how lucky he is. I was working in the salt mines at his age, without the benefit of engines. 😁
Yes I’m always doing projects, the site was just waste land with bushes on it to start with so everything you see in the videos I’ve built so far, I’ve got loads of other things to be doing as soon as I finish this 🤣
I snapped the end off so it’s invisible on the outside, I thought it was the neatest way to be honest, only other way is to counter sink head bolt the other way
Have you considered a vaccum to like a dumpable icb container for digging just get like a 40ft hose that runs to the ground level it will save you running back and forth multiple times you could almost clear out nearly 3/4 meters of dirt in under an hour I would suggest two 1500watt motors wet/dry vacs
Yes but it would need to be a big vacuum to pull the stones up, especially if you were bringing them up high than ground level, if I make another tunnel I will make it suit a proper boring machine I think but Im on my last 8ft of this tunnel currently so was planning on getting it finished next week. That was till I got the bad news this week, more to be explained in this weeks video 😭
Perhaps you could try your hand at gold prospecting! The depth you're digging at, from your video, looks like an old river bed. With a little design work you could knock up a sleuth box.
3:49 a corded drill would actually be even faster, and a rotary tool (like a dremel but much larger) with a flexible would be even better still. with your current method here, you are moving the motor and battery with each arm stroke, when really you only need to be moving the twist drill itself.
You have sheet metal stuff. Why not make a custom tiny cute dump truck? Instead of the flexitub. Attached to your trolley. Maybe with digging action. Scoop scoop~
I’m taking the P! I’m only a few miles away and want to visit as I have diggers and do your sort of stuff. Never mind the drill we want to see some mother of a boring tool or massive hoover to suck the muck out! Let’s go industrial!!
Just trying to make it more watchable for the majority instead of just digging, I appreciate it’s not going to suit everyone but need to build the audience up a little bit if I can, and it’s only a select few viewers that will watch just digging 😀
Lol, your lad driving that jeep & trailer!! Either ultra confident or zero Fs given - either way, funny as hell!
I vote for the latter 😅
It pulled it much better than the John deer lawn mower last episode 😂
I'm just hoping he is getting suitable recompense for all that work...

Love the use of the Thunderbird theme, it set it just right. Thanks for posting....
Glad you like it! I had the proper countdown when I finished the edit at 7am this morning but UA-cam said there was copyright on it, but not the theme tune so had to edit it 😂
I think you might be the first civilian to own a working rocket silo, Collin will be jealous lol
Just hope I get to 50000 subscribers so I can make a new rocket, this one didn’t make it home 😂
Bravo on that container lift, done a few things like that myself. My poor digger did things it never should have 😂
It lifts the 20ft containers off by its self but needs a helping hand with a 40ft, shame it was so wet else I would of had some good drone shots as well
Just been binge watching all your videos. Absolutely amazing content. Your genius madcap British innovative style is indescribably brilliant. Really engaging editing your channel has it all. Thank you Dave!

Thanks jack, for some reason that video got missed my loads of people, was fun launching the rocket 😀
Laser leveling the tunnel. Hell, mate, you're a certified, qualified, PROFESSIONAL borer now!
Amazing!! Add steel cable to the lift platform. Essentially, like the tailgate of a pickup truck.
Wow your son will be an ace driver when he is older. He handles that car like a pro. 👍
Loving the videos Dave. Cheers from east coast Australia!
Glad you are liking them 😀
I'm so loving this, well done
Loved the rocket launch Dave 🚀
How can one not love watching this artist at work. A legend in the making for sure. As always EPIC!! Thanks for sharing and continued success on the tunnel Dave. Be safe!!
My pleasure! Hopefully the channel will continue to grow 😀
Tunnel's looking great. Its been fun to follow along. Keep it up.
Thanks 👍 I will keep my 2 weekly updates going till it’s done 😀
Excellent. Were I a few years younger this would be quite the inspiration.
Good seeing you got some more done nice progress looking forward to seeing more 👏👏👏👏👍🍺
More to come! 😀
I'd have loved that mini car as a kid and he is learning to graft too.
Yes it is pretty cool
Keep up the good work me and my boy enjoy watching your videos
Thanks! Will do! 😀
Enjoying this series, thanks for sharing mate!
Glad you enjoy it!
Congrats on 25k! 50k won't be far off. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! Will do!
I'm glad you done the silo rocket, not long now can't wait to the extension build.
Yes got to get a few more foot done then the diggers will be out in force 😀
You need to put a small little but power spring that'll get sandwiched when it's closed so that the lid is under pressure.
Yes it needs a bit more lifting force for the first stage 😀
Yes! I Did enjoy you messing around with that engine in previous episode..But the Tunnel has to continue!
Going to watch now! :p
Cool, thanks
Loved the rocket bit at the beginning, that was awesome...
Glad you liked it, the 50000 subs celebration will be better if I ever get there 😀
So glad I found you via Colin’s video, brilliant work👍
Awesome, thank you!

Thank you for the nice comment 😀
Haha I enjoyed the container lift. If that happened on our site health and safety would have a fit
I wasn’t sure if the include it in this video but think it’s gone down ok, it didn’t help with Ian pushing the wrong lever 😂
Brilliant Dave. Loving the videos. Keep them coming
Thanks, will do!, I got up at 5am to edit this video before work today so glad people are liking it 😀
@@Tornado_Dave incredible commitment to the videos. Hope this all takes off for you mate.

Yes that would work well, I might give that a try 😀
Best intro to a video yet! As always your videos are an inspiration.
Glad you like it! It was better with the original cut until it said copyright problem 😂
Brilliant Dave some great work mate
Thank you! Cheers!
the hoverboard cart really speeds things up .. brilliant
Yes I’ve done some miles on it now, needs charging every foot now, but I am 24ft in so it adds up when you are in and out for an hour
I love watching this progress. But I can't help wondering how water will effect the walls over time.
I think the galvanised steel will handle it but only time will tell
Looking good mate 👍
Thankyou 😀
Damn, that video went quickly, lol. Love the content.
It was 45 minutes long last night before I started making it watchable 😀
Awesome work going in here bud!
Thank you 😀
I grew up with the war movies, born in Canada, and I swear the British are part badger part mole.
I do enjoy digging the tunnel 😀
brilliant work 💯
Thank you! Cheers!
Getting it done.
Man builds missle silo, uh tunnel, in back yard👍.
Missle launch goes wrong 🧨💥... end of tunnel😮 nooo lol.
Just small rockets 🚀 we are ok😂.
Yes good job it didn’t hit the side 😂
Thunderbirds are a go!
Excellent 👍🏻
25K & counting subs Congrats 🥳

It feels pretty normal after 6 months digging it 😂

Mine is still out of fuel, good job I had the electric backup tow vehicle 😀
That kid is living his dream ! 😅😂
He loves helping his dad with the tunnel after school 😀
Are you happy that the top of your well is level. Bear in mind that if the opposite walls of the well are 2m apart and 3mm difference in height (for example), if your house is 30m away, your level will have (30/2)*3= 45mm error. Could you use your laser level too check?

Sow, that's an incredibly lucky 5yo also he can tow a long trailer better than a lot of 'adults' I know. 😁
You should see him with the pair of trailers on 😂
Finally a Tunnel Dave video again I've been waiting!💯
Already planning the next one in 2 weeks 😀
Your son must be the happiest child labourer in the world.
Better than sat watching tv that’s the main thing 😀
@@Tornado_Dave absolutely!
Great another tunnel Dave video has dropped 😁
Hope you enjoyed it!
Awesome Dave, great video 😊 have you given Jim the week off 😂😂😂
I’ve borrowed Jim’s power source, Jim is going to be fully commissioned in a later video with all the pipe work 😂
bloody cool
Congrats on 25k !
Thank you!!
Man, the great escape was a great film, the guy had an entire missile silo, he dug a hole and launched missiles from his sheet metal tunnel... Wait..
Great.👍
Thank you 👍
i find it interesting that the rocks are round like river rocks
Yes it must be an old river 😁
Great series of vids. Can I ask what are you going to do with the stairs that go down further than the door. Will you be making a lower room?
I will have to do something down there, not sure yet but I left the option open for something in the future 😀
Now all you have to do is pick a brick, put a plate on it, call it a Datum. Then put a second Datum plate in the basement. And a datum every few sections. And then it will be SUPER COOL, and a REAL railway.
Great videos Dave.
Does the hatch have a manual override on the latch in case of a flat battery?
You wouldn't want to be waiting for it to recharge when topping up the beer supplies.
Yes that’s why I used the rangerover boot release catch, they have a manual pull coord 😀
Good morning, Dave [Oz time] great video, I am getting around my claustrophobia. I am curious to what you do with the spoil from the tunnel. By the way your lad doesn't know how lucky he is. I was working in the salt mines at his age, without the benefit of engines. 😁
Yes he is a lucky boy, it’s just going into a big pile currently, going to use it to level some ground out in the summer 😀
Haha that rocket was awesome how high did it go congrats on the 25k subs
600ft up, did 2 launches but the second time It got lost in the nature reserve next door 😂
@@Tornado_Dave haha bloody awesome
Put a dirt catch on bucket on the front of you rail cart or just a flat plate to slide the load when its full
Cool!
Escape hatch or missile silo?
Bit of both really
A 5 year old with his own car. Your son is insanely lucky.
Love watching your videos, cant wait to see everything finished.. do you have any more projects in the pipeline?
Yes I’m always doing projects, the site was just waste land with bushes on it to start with so everything you see in the videos I’ve built so far, I’ve got loads of other things to be doing as soon as I finish this 🤣
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Another awesome day... Ive enrolled on a forklift training course to get my levers correct 😂😂
I think with out the handbrake brick you would of shot out with a shipping container rolling towards you afterwards 😂
@Tornado_Dave it would of made an awesome video. Maybe next time 😅
🏆
someone behind you on a second cart emptying the trug would increase your workflow 300%
Yes I like your idea, next video maybe 😀
Epic!
Tek screw on the hatch you bad boy, get a nut and bolt on it!, you need to dig faster 😂
I snapped the end off so it’s invisible on the outside, I thought it was the neatest way to be honest, only other way is to counter sink head bolt the other way
Have you considered a vaccum to like a dumpable icb container for digging just get like a 40ft hose that runs to the ground level it will save you running back and forth multiple times you could almost clear out nearly 3/4 meters of dirt in under an hour I would suggest two 1500watt motors wet/dry vacs

Perhaps you could try your hand at gold prospecting! The depth you're digging at, from your video, looks like an old river bed. With a little design work you could knock up a sleuth box.
I think I should do 😀
why dont you make a Digger bucket for the the front of the hoverboard cart with hook points - catch more dirt plus better handling of the bucket.
Yes but still got to get it into the big tubs to get it out, I’m going to work on some ideas though 😀
that's some nice sand, if it's sharp sand you could sell it for a pretty penny!
Did you know sharp sand is going extinct?
3:49 a corded drill would actually be even faster, and a rotary tool (like a dremel but much larger) with a flexible would be even better still. with your current method here, you are moving the motor and battery with each arm stroke, when really you only need to be moving the twist drill itself.
Maybe so, I’ve about finished it now now though 😂
You have sheet metal stuff. Why not make a custom tiny cute dump truck? Instead of the flexitub. Attached to your trolley. Maybe with digging action. Scoop scoop~
Thunderbirds are go.
Fab 😀
congrats, next up: bigger rocket at 50K
Yes I will start working out how I’m making it 😀
You need a spring poper on the hatch door
To release the catch?
@@Tornado_Dave I think he means to give the door an initial kick so that the damper can start working better
@@Tornado_Dave Yea to help it pop up on its own. You see them on some car bonnets
You know your workshop, right? It'd be pretttttty sick if all of it was underground, ey?
A reply to almost every comment. Great work.
I try my best, got a lot to answer yet on the newest video 😂
no no no 50000 it should 10000000000 by dec xxxx
Hopefully so 😀
If you get 50k subs I'll design and build you a proper rocket Dave 😉
Ok I will hold you to that 😂
I’m taking the P! I’m only a few miles away and want to visit as I have diggers and do your sort of stuff.
Never mind the drill we want to see some mother of a boring tool or massive hoover to suck the muck out! Let’s go industrial!!
Oi, make the rocket already
Got to wait till 50000 subscribers first 😂
F A B
Dave carry on digging you’re tunnel fellar all this other crap to drag it out is boring that’s my opinion
Just trying to make it more watchable for the majority instead of just digging, I appreciate it’s not going to suit everyone but need to build the audience up a little bit if I can, and it’s only a select few viewers that will watch just digging 😀
🇺🇦👍
this video makes no sense....
It’s part of a series of that helps? Which bit doesn’t make sense?
