Standing up a shipping container tower

Re-edit/upload of a 2016 video. Using bulldozers to move around shipping containers, then 2 excavators to stand up a shipping container to make a tower.

I’m new to Andrew’s channel. I love the fact this guy isn’t trying to sell you anything. He just does his thing and that’s fascinating enough. Anyone else agree?

@@WelderSkills.1 I think what Captain meant though is that he doesn’t “what’s up guys” Segway into a 5 min product push before every video. I’ve only missed a handful and I’ve never seen Andrew push anything, just let me know that it was available.

That was as usual an amazing feature film, and Here I was thinking you built the whole building on your own Andrew? Coming from Construction I knew just how many man-hours there are in a building like this so I always wondered about the story behind the story. No matter what else happens in your life this building will always be a legacy for people to admire and marvel at just how many miles of welds you laid down and the finished product has a visual and tactile feel to it that I don't believe anyone could repeat. As usual, your storytelling is perfect with the exact level of story and this time even more physical tale on how you completed the placement without cranes and other heavy lifting equipment that others would use. I look forward to seeing more
