Cool, Im eager to see how you close the ends. Im designing a project with two 20 ft containers and thought about cutting one in half and adding rollup doors. Might be a good option for you to give light and a big door.
Joe,please take care. Your drop from the container to the flatbed had me wincing. This looks like it is going to be an awesome series. Best Wishes from the UK.
Man this is going to be a great project not sure how I missed this vid but now Im off to watch todays vid God bless buddy
◔◔ Joe..hello!! 3:12 ;’;’thataboy;”;’;..haha;”’;
..thank you ..great info.
Why? Seems like so much more work than is needed what was wrong with just a 20 foot in the first place
Excellent – nice covering of the details!!!
when you going to add a solar system? 🙂
I’m seeing this from finish to begining..is that normal?🙄
tanks for taking us along – Donna
Wow – 5 good looking men in 1 video.
Thank you!
(Everyone leaning at 2:26 – smirk)
Dude! You forgot to give your traditional thumbs up.
I surely like the project and the cooperation of relatives. How much do these containers cost?
I’ve now watched all your videos and you did a great job putting this stuff together.
You’ve given me ideas on a storage/workshop/covered parking area for property that I have in Show Low, AZ
How would you connect 4 containers to make a rectangle so it would create an interior courtyard ?
Thanks for answering my question & so quickly too. I need a courtyard because my cats can’t be in the open because coyotes might eat them and I figure a double courtyard will give them a safe place and a place for me to relax and entertain should the need arise.
Very cool, I hope to have my container this summer. I’m sure I will have questions for you at some point. Great video
what type of rod did u use for stick and what type of wire did u use for ur mig welds? and did they work well enough or would u recommend others?
I’ve been following you for months now. I am looking forward for my 40 ft. shipping container house project (in the Philippines) that will be split into two. I have learn a lot from DIY person (Very Versatile) like you. God Bless and be careful. Don’t cut your fingers by your grinder. LOL.
good info
Nice video of how to cut a container! I don’t cut mine and use forty-foot High Cubes intact, but everyone has different needs. Smart job on the cross-bracing to keep the container end squared. While you have excellent resources it’s worth mentioning that half a forty will fit and be safe to transport on common rollback car carriers since it will weigh 5,000 lbs or less. Someone wanting to move a forty into where it wouldn’t otherwise fit could weld angle steel to the joint then bolt and seal (if they pre-drill the angles to match) or more easily weld the joint because the angle would support the sheet metal. The plasma cutter is the way to go, but someone who lacks a plasma could do it with a fine oxy-acetylene torch tip and patience. A piece of angle makes a nice guide for torch cutting of any sort for folks not used to free hand cutting.
Most container videos are giddy artsy boolsh1te. Yours isn’t. Good job.
For those not wanting to fab doors your cutting method can be used to splice two containers and have a long structure with stock end doors on each end.
Great video and love the shirt.
where did you buy those big rock filled cages? How much?
love your channel, it rocks
About to buy 2o acres and go with the 4 poly mega barrels for rainwater total usage. And Build a Sea container shop hence why I here, lol. I have a homemade candle business so it will be my shop and a 16″x 32′ Log cabin(Portable Pre-Fab). Going all solar but with Nickel Iron Batteries which last forever and can be discharged up to 95% without damaging them, ever heard of those? They rock. I was thinking of hanging some 55gallon poly barrels x 2 on the end of workshop for the sink with those cool big round rain collectors going in to the barrel, pvc action from hell on that 90 degree to upside down umbrella thingy. LOL. LOL. Texas yo, AR-15 I’m out, lol.
Hello just found this series of videos; question you did not mention any of the base or foundation for the container? Is it just on cinder blocks?
what did you pay for the original container?
4:06 Wife’s ? ;D Nice work! just got my own 20 footer yesterday and are going to do a restoration on it aswell 😀
I heard some places shipping containers are free and you just pay for transport.
