Happy to see an update on the Sea Can Workshop :) Now it's time to sit back and enjoy

[@paulhammond7489]

That retractable work table is a real space saver - Can never have enough room in a shop, no matter how big you make it :) The strip drain installed beneath the future truck tarp curtains shows long term planning for the workshop :) Once again a great video... Thanks for sharing Jake...

[@ShredPile]

My pleasure as always Paul. Yeah that little scissor table is solid gold, it will lift 6k pounds and raises to the same height as the heavy table so depending on how things are are set up it gives me a ton of lattitude when i'm working.

[@paulhammond7489]

@@ShredPile 6k lbs is impressive, did you add it at the construction stage of the shop, or was it retro fitted?

[@ShredPile]

@@paulhammond7489 It was during construction, I worked off of gravel and then steel plates in there for a while before I got around to pouring the floor and the lift had come along by then so I took my best guess at where it would work the best. Had I known exactly how handy it was going to be I would've poured in a spot for a second one and patched it over until it came along:-)

@@ShredPile Hindsight is always 20/20, but your 'Foresight' provisioning for one lift was definitely 20/20 :)

Damn wished i was your neighbor, i would put on a pot of coffee and watch all day long! Impressive my friend at what you do!

[@ShredPile]

Thanks! Coffee's always on over here, no need to bring your own:-)

[@danbreyfogle8486]

Those angle brackets look fantastic once in place. I wasn't sure what the containers on stilts was about when I watched part one and two but now it makes sense. Very nice project, thank you for sharing.

[@ShredPile]

You bet Dan, thanks for checking it out:-)

What's a good example of viewer envy.....'Ill move it with the forklift ,I've got a few '

[@ShredPile]

Lol, sorry man. That wasn’t my intention:)

[@user-gf2km4us2z]

Wow… a man made of rock, steel and wood. Nothing is impossible with Mr. Rosenfeld and always of great interest

[@Z-Bart]

I like the auto down feature on your forklift. ;) I logged many miles walking that exact same grating in a power plant.

[@ShredPile]

Lol, that feature is special order. In realtime it's almost unnoticeable until it traps one of your steel toecaps behind a fork:-)

[@paul4124]

Looking good, l love the way that all the materials are in your yard and you just make from what you’ve got. Great way of using up surplus stock.

[@ShredPile]

Thanks for that, you just have to keep walking in circles until you come up with enough stuff to finish the job:-)

[@robertsimmons3556]

I remember when you set those containers. I actually moved to the front of my chair as they wobbled on the forklift!! LOL Now Santa Clause needs to bring you a 50K sq tilt up with roll up doors, full bridge crane and three phase.....Pacific Northwest weather...not an issue!!.LOL I like your work Jake!!

[@ShredPile]

Oh Right on Robert, now you're talking! I would totally be just as at home in an old warehouse in a boarded up industrial district as I am here. 50k sqft sounds dreamy:-)

Really like those wheels on your torch cart Jake. Must make it easy to drag over gravel and stuff like that. Anyway, also like how you over-engineer stuff when you build it. Another great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@ShredPile]

Thanks George, that’s actually an old Ansul fire extinguisher cart that was powered by an external nitrogen bottle so it made a perfect OA torch cart:)

very nice work - will follow to watch this as it developes!

[@horstszibulski19]

The braces turned out well, no chance for me to find alle the cut angles if I had to make them... 🤪 The platform is really sweet, nice idea to make the handrail removeable, so that it won't be in the way while putting up things there! Thx for the update! 👍👍👍

[@ShredPile]

My pleasure Horst, It felt good to finally get a little time to move that project forwards:-)

[@starswoodmetalcreations6539]

Cool ass shop build

[@ShredPile]

Thanks man!

[@Crewsy]

If you run the stairs as you mentioned then the primary entry door for each container will swing open blocking your exit. Coming from the other end you will approach the door opening.

Thanks Mo!

[@johnnicholls9023]

Alright feller as always I love you videos I’ve watched all four and at some point I think you said about making the balcony deck removable I was thinking that if you was to remove it you’d have to put it somewhere else so jus an idea not sure if you might of already thought this why not put hinges on it tied to to containers and have it fold up over the doors also making it bit more secure if you know what I mean thanks John

[@ShredPile]

I totally get what you mean John and i'll probably work in some extra security but for me the whole removeablilty feature was only to allow me to be able to reach in easier with one of the telehandlers to add or remove something heavy or awkward. I can just set it aside in the yard for the bit of time that it's off. Thanks for keeping up with the series!

[@MUDNROCKS]

What are you thinking about for condensation rusting up your lathe bed n wot knot, or are you just going to oil em up after using them. Rusty beds and tables is no good but so is oil in yr suds.

[@ShredPile]

So great question and honestly I'm not sure how its going to play out yet. I do plan on insulating the roof at least and we will see from there. I'll move a few things in and keep an eye on them. That ACF-50 stuff that a viewer reccomended a few videos ago seems to be working well so that may be part of the solution.

[@jimmystuckey1412]

Only thing better than making something with leftovers from a job is making it out of something you got paid to haul away

[@metaspencer]

@@ShredPile your welded up balcony is mind blowing man!

[@gregpaterson330]

Hi Jake as I watch your many videos I was wondering, do you feel more comfortable working with metal or wood, you seem very comfortable with both

[@ShredPile]

Thats a good question and guess I don't really have a preference since the way that I work them is pretty much the same. I do love the instant 'hot glue' effect that welding something offers and the simpler assembly and repair that wood offers most of the time. Most of all I like being able to build or create whatever I want without needing to farm too much stuff out.

[@michaelosmon]

Sweet bandsaw

[@benlund3905]

Of course you have a hydraulic welding bench that raises from the floor.

[@ShredPile]

The bonus with that is that it's almost always clean since its on the floor most of the time. I'm such a piler it's the only way I can ensure that I always have a clean place to weld something:-)

[@mikeaustin9810]

Jake did you finish all your work on the Modern House ?

[@ShredPile]

Almost, I have some pickup work to do as the other subs finish thier rough-in stuff.

[@kennethbarber438]

47:00, Are those like large "tap con" lags? 58:00. sweet band saw. how old? 1:06:00. WTF?

[@ShredPile]

Yes, exactly like them. These particular ones are Simpson Titen bolts. 1/2 x 6" I think. The bandsaw is a Marvel Model 8 MK ll. probably late 70's to mid 80's 18 x 20" capacity and bevel one direction to 48 degrees I think. The WTF is a scissor hoist of the type that is typically used to lift a unit of plywood up for an automated panel saw to take from in a cabinet shop. It will lift 6k pounds to 36". it can lift the front of my work truck off the ground or my entire Toyota Tacoma. It gets used for everything including lifting my riding lawnmower up to make it easier to work on. I love that thing and it was well worth forming the recess into the floor for it.

[@benlund3905]

Whats the paint? I spend too much time cleaning/priming/2 top coats. Also nice to see the respirator. I cant take the welding fumes…specially on partially ground previously painted metal. Also stick or flux core. Noone at my welding ed said a word about ppe besides helmets and not wearing gloves at big grinders. Pancake helmets work great for sun situations.

[@ShredPile]

It's Rodda barrier lll primer. Dries fast, goes on thick if you are using it as paint but I thin it with reducer if I'm just priming red iron to make it go a little further. Comes in red, black, gray and a neutral which is a yellowish tan. Of course you can topcoat it but it holds up great on it's own and i've had good luck with it over the years. Man the fumes are a killer and we end up sucking plenty of it anyway so I try to use a mask as much as possible. Having to grind or weld powdercoat is one of my top three most hated. Abrasive dust and dealing with galvanized take the other two spots. The full face respirator is my go to when theres a lot of grinding because of the eye protection and overall dust bath it saves you from, its a hassle but its a way more relaxing than glasses and mask. I do not have a pancake and I should get one, Sunlight from behind your hood can pretty much shut you down if your'e doing something that has to count. Thanks for checking out the video:-)

[@benlund3905]

@@ShredPile the pancake is way to go for back glare. They make nice looking auto lenses for them. Cant wear respirators with them tho. Ill check out the rodda. I use a lot of rustolium pro spray cans. The propellant cant be good for anyone. Does dry real quick.

[@ShredPile]

@@benlund3905 I think i have an auto insert around that would fit into a pancake, i'll check ebay for a economy one to try. Are you talking those double tall spray cans? They unload so fast it's awesome. If you need to turn something black in a hurry it's the way to go:-)

[@joseluisperezdiaz1332]

Hi, what kind of circular saw You use to cut the metal, thanks

[@ShredPile]

Skil SPT78MMC with 8" Diablo DO842CF steel demon blade. You can buy and use the blade for a normal size circular saw but the special saw spins slower to keep heat down and does not bevel. It tracks very well on long straight cuts and the blades seem to last longer if you can cut with the saw full depth vs setting it like a normal saw for thinner material. The blades also do not like to plunge cut so do that as little as possible and save your almost worn out blades to start a plunge cut later before tossing them. Good Luck!

[@moirani2021]

💯💯💯✌✌✌

[@kturkalo2129]

Mill and a lathe in that echo chamber. Gonna be loud.

[@Melicoy]

Welcome back

[@highlandermachineworks5795]

What blade are you using on that skil saw???

[@ShredPile]

It's a cermet blade from diablo. Steel demon I think. the saw is Skil's SPT78MMC 8" coldsaw. It's just for this type of stuff. It spins slower and does not bevel and will blow you away with what it can do. On a salvage job one time I used one to cut an 8'x40' sheet of 1-1/8" steel in half the short way sitting right on the asphalt and drag it out from where it was trapped so we could use it. Took just over one blade to do it :-)

[@highlandermachineworks5795]

@ShredPile That's impressive. I've used the Diablo Sawzall blades forever. But I have to try that thing out. Thanks man!

[@jjulyaaugustsseptemberooct2408]

I was wondering the same thing.

[@michaelmunro2820]

I get the impression you don't do well with employees?

[@ShredPile]

Lol, I do just fine and had crews for years but the amount of work of one type it takes to keep everyone busy is more trouble than it’s worth most of the time and locks you into just one type of thing or taking only what’s available. It’s way more interesting to me to take a wide variety of jobs that I can do alone with my equipment, it’s super easy to stay booked on quality work, pays as well (or better) and if something falls through I always have something of my own going:-)
