Great escape themed tunnel from my underground bunker to my house gets dug up to 24ft in and we play with a rocket launch up the escape hatch from underground
Glad you like it! I had the proper countdown when I finished the edit at 7am this morning but RU-vid 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
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!
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!
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
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!
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!
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!!
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😂.
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.
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...
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
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.
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 😀
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
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~
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. 😁
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 😭
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 🤣
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.
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 😀
