@@ELDESTBuilds Will definitely check them out. Was a little disappointed when I saw you using a MIG but then you switched to some big sticks, what kind were they? Just wondering, something I should hopefully be getting into here soon 8)
@@ELDESTBuilds I'm sure it is. I've been piecing together part by part for a long time now and getting ready to install my first 6-50r and use my rebadged miller thunderbolt ac225, so it was pretty cool when you started stick welding with it was all I meant 8) I got 7014's for my first rods too.
Note to viewers: If you get mismatched containers you can have a 4x8 sheet of 1/8" sheared into 2" wide strips (only shear half a sheet leaving the rest for other use) then weld that to bridge the joint. These "storage grade" containers were condemned for maritime service so if you want to keep rain off the normally worn out top end door gasket welding some flat bar or angle between the corner fittings so water runs off is quick and easy.
Good job God bless from Canada eh if you do anymore stick welding try dragging it not pushing i think you will find it is a better end product and good penetration! JS

I’m unsure of the welding. I was thinking about the welding term “where’s there’s slag, you drag” push welding with any flux core wire or stick will lead to weld porosity. Otherwise a great build!
@ELDESTBuilds Do you know if it'll hold a snow load? I live up north and a snow load of 88 +pounds per square foot. Would cutting off the side and welding the two together be strong enough, do you know? Thanks
@generalcaeser9176 I don't know any specific info about snow loads. This is Texas , snow is an oddity. During the Snowpocalypse of 21, there was 4 inches of snow and ice on top and it didn't break or bend anything.
4" lol We get 4 feet on the regular. In the end I decided against the containers do to moisture and what they call "container rain". We live in a rain forest and an arctic like snow belt so I'm going to avoid these all together. I do see how they make sense in Texas though. @@ELDESTBuilds
@generalcaeser9176 haven't had any issues with container rain even during monsoon season, but I am in and out all day with a/c's going. If you leave them closed up they get a little moldy inside. I will probably be adding a roof, but mostly to create a heat gap. It's usually just so damn hot
So you didn't add any additional structural bracing to the roof line which leaves it weak. The corrugated side walls in a full box configuration is what gives containers their strength. Once you cut out one side you have weakened it. This is why most will add 2x2 across the top with one or two center pillars (depending on container length) and even seen some with gussets in the corners to add some rigidity.
For my purpose it wasn't necessary, there is no weight on the roof. I have three welded together in the front, See Slideshow, all I need is rain proof.
@@ELDESTBuilds also later on, you may decide to fit a more decorative looking roof to maybe tie-in better with the look of the house. Very nice work guys! 👍
@@ELDESTBuilds good idea and due to the structural freeness you want to keep inside the garage, it will give you an opportunity to build strength above the roof to support a heavy snow fall weight….
There are over 17 videos in the series. Check out the Playlist. The green paint is rustoleum to trear the bare metal and rusty spots before it gets the white paint. The seam is fully welded, there are no leaks.
Usedconex sold me a 40' WWP storage unit with a broken left door. Usedconex told me that the warranty did not cover the doors. Usedconex receipt of container when signed waives the entire warranty after the driver leaves. Usedconex done me wrong, be careful.
@@rusbus499 For this I was using the $500.00 plasma from Northern tool. It's dead now. I bought the Titanium from Harbor Freight . I cut a hole in the white wall and ran an air hose through it to the cutter. Shop air is a 60 Gallon Porter Cable compressor
I wanted to build one of these for a long time. Do you have a cost breakdown? Also, one of the big hesitations for me is what happens when it struck by lightning?
The sad part of this it looks really great but most people don’t investigate the price of these containers and the shipping is more than the container cost. And now with all the ships sitting off the coast of California and other coast the containers are even more money.
The only thing I think I wouldn't have done... would have been welded it altogether maybe a couple spots but I definitely wouldn't have welded the whole thing because one day when you're long and gone somebody's going to have to take that apart and they're going to be cursing you up and down LOL... other than that great job good luck
On the first three, I welded sections, covered with a strip and tacked it over. I had problems keeping the rain out. A fully welded seam is easier to keep sealed. See here; ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZtExP08Fxug.html
Yes, that type is done regularly. I thinks these are great. www.google.com/search?q=cart-driver+rino&client=ms-android-att-us-rvc3&prmd=nmsiv&sxsrf=ALiCzsaXiP_ehE6jCuG4M3EacTykZf370w:1671988639509&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjtoLSHo5X8AhWyLEQIHemVBVUQ_AUoBHoECAIQBA&biw=412&bih=750&dpr=2.63
I have a PTAC in the back wall and a window unit by the welding table. With the doors closed it stay comfortable inside. Insulation is 3/4 inch foam board glued to the ceiling. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pCdQn2ES1AY.html
You showed every inch of plasma cutting but skipped right to welding the roof seam without showing pulling the 2 halves together? That is probably the most complex involved part of this whole operation.
The plan is to use some of the sides to build shelves on the short side and a roof / carport cover on the long side. I was waiting for some cooler weather, so almost time
@@ELDESTBuilds I understand that but what was used in the ones that leaked?..there are alloys that could’ve been easier to use but I guess to stay cost effective what ya did was what was available
Probably hard to know for sure but these come from a container refurbishing company, who gets them from the shipping ports. Most of their containers have aged out for overseas shipping.
