DIGGING A SECRET TUNNEL Part 10 Phase 1 COMPLETE

All hand digging now complete as down to the bunker will be done from above and so will the car port, thank you all so much for supporting this project. Its not totally finished but feels like a milestone for sure. Get your Tunnel prints here, there nice n cheap in this expensive time.www.colinfurzeshop.com/

Colin is the epitome of a child who never grew up but has all the means to live out dreams.

And we love that.

What a wonderfully crazy neighbour you have! He seems to be getting some 20 years younger when he is let down in your tunnel. 😆

Collin's neighbour is the most talented barn yard animal imitator I've heard in ages. LOL

My favorite part of this video is Colin's attention to detail is every avenue of his life. He apologizes for the mocked up carboard house model not being to scale for him to explain his DeLorean car lift. This man is my spirit animal.

I still cannot believe he not only managed this but went through with it all the way... Dude is sealing his name in history as the MADDEST man to make something.

it'd be real spiffy if you had a cool wall in one of the finished room that was see through, like a plexiglass thing with a sturdy frame, so you could see the rocks surrounding ya, maybe you could even add lighting to frame it, who knows, either way it'll be a beautiful result, and great work so far, keep it up :)

This series just proves to me that Bruce and Alfred could have totally built the Bat Cave themselves.

Can you do a video running through the cost of the entire project? To really get an in-depth understanding of how much work, money, and time you've put into this insane project?

We NEED more of Freddie, man is a legend

I'm so stoked to see you build that underground garage. I hope this project never ends!

I’m a builder, done quite a few foundation digs in my time but this, this is a monumental amount of work to do by hand 👍🏻

Hi Colin. Long time viewer, first time commenter. I love how you progressed from wacky machines to massive engineering projects like this tunnel. My suggestion is to leave one of the tunnel ends open so the rock wall is visible and maybe cover the end with a thick glass panel or plexiglass. Would be cool to see the rock face in an alcove like that to remember how it all began.
Also, the steel wall panels have perfect frames for mural paintings. Perhaps you could get your kids or neighbourhood kids to start painting these wall sections. A bit of color on those black walls would be great.
Have a great day Colin! You are an awesome engineer!

You could have your DeLorean drive onto an oval shaped cog platform that rests on the lift and is turned around by another identical (reciprocate) cog beneath the surface. Alternatively, you could use a giant drawer slide along the wall of the space connected to the platform by a hinge, which could pivot the whole thing 180 degrees. You'd want the connection to break vertically, but not horizontally, so it can allow the lift to separate from the wall slide thingy, then engage once it's been lowered. Just a couple ideas.

I'm a little late to commenting, but as far as the plan for the car lift... I like the idea of a hidden lift system, like a spy movie, something contained within the garage that you could then drive off of and into the space below the driveway. In my mind, this system also has a false garage floor that automatically goes into place when the lift is underground.

With the scissor lift instead of having the drive bit on the top raising up, perhaps it should slide making it less obstructive on the surface and easier for a horizontal shift rather than a vertical one. Also in the parking room under the ground you could have conveyor belts to move the parked vehical horizontally and rotate it away from the side and have the conveyor belts move it back to the original position.

I think your car lift system should come out of the ground when you want to drive into it or come out of it, and recess back into the ground, with an unassuming garden outdoor seating area on top (Like a Secret Entrance) that lifts up int the air. This way, it's not some big industrial looking garage thingy in front of your house. Also, maybe have some warning system/lights flash when you come out, so people stand clear, but make them also blend into some serene garden like setting (again, not industrial looking).

Make the elevator lift area a circle that is basically free floating on the lift components. Then you can have a separate mechanism that can engage it from the side with a gear that can spin it 360 degrees when it’s lowered

Longest and most interesting series on YouTube. Colin you’ve outdone yourself congratulations on your secret tunnel

This is the best series of vids i've seen on youtube for years, love love love the tunnel digging vids, very simple solution reverse on to the drive like i do every day lol
