Thank you, Steve. I like the cut of your jib. Many creative solutions, whilst watching the pennies. Love it.

Beautiful set-up! Love how innovative and creative he is. The electric company quoted him a price, he said "nahh I'll do it cheaper", and ended up making his workshop self-sustaining! I'm glad he enjoys aviation because I can tell he is making the world a better place because of it.

I just found you on KZfaq. Gotta say I'm already addicted to all the great videos you're putting out. Thank you!

I installed a small 500w solar panel system running for very cheap at my remote hangar in Kansas. It works much more reliably than the generators the other folks use and it doesn't make any noise. My system is much smaller, but it runs a drill press, radio, small compressor and runs my 28v LED lighting system for at least 6hrs. The panels connect to the batteries with a MPPT controller, then the battery connects to a 5kw inverter which runs all the 120v equipment.

Yes, I've been wanting a set up like this for 18 years.

The dream setup! 👍

Non insulated pole building off grid, choose your area carefully for that.

Awesome

Love the mobile vacuum idea! Considering building something similar for my workshop someday.

Really enjoyed watching the video.

Very nice!

I would have insulated the building before anything. It's cooler in the summer and easier to heat upon the winter. And I would have asked the utility people could I do the trenching to save cost. Solar is just constant maintenance. Nothing like power for 24/7.

I thought this was about putting up the building, Looks like he got an agricultural contractor to do it, but no costs mentioned anywhere so who knows whether its affordable or not.

Nice, thanks for the info. I was curious what the size of the building is, did I miss it?

Amazingly smart guy!

This is just the best. I would never go home. I wonder if he can find a way to counter balance that hangar door so he doesn't have to use such a big drive motor...

This dude is living the absolute dream. So jealous.

how effective is that vise on a mobile table that also swivels? nice video regardless

nice

I was interested in this video until I heard he was keeping the location a secret, then I was very interested!! It took nearly 20 minutes to find the exact location of his secret man cave. I won't divulge it here, but it reminds me of sweet, sweet Belgium.

That was a very nice hangar! Question time!!! Are those batterys a fire hazard? Let's say he added 2x or even 4x more, then would it?

How much did it all cost?

wow

Nice but it wouldn’t cut it in Montana.

PC 12 &PC 24 size hanger.

You need an electrician for that wiring. It looks chaotic. Call me for hangar wiring. I’ll fly in! ;)

I like the size and style of the building. Any chance you have plans for sale..?

Where did you get the garage door? brand name, etc. I am building my hangar now. Thanks.

Can you at least say what state this is in? It seems to be the USA, because of the electrical outlets configuration, in spite of the British accent.

Most builders complete their projects quicker when the project is at home because they can spend that “commute time” working in the garage, basement, or other workshop, instead of driving. Working at home isn’t distracting if you structure your schedule so you just don’t answer the phone or the doorbell when in “the factory,” and everyone else in the house knows not to interrupt you during those times. Also, you can pop into the workshop and take a measurement, verify something, or do a half-hour task while waiting for dinner to cook, etc. The hangar you feature is fine for final assembly, painting, and keeping the finished aircraft in, but working at home, if you have suitable space, is usually more productive.

Unless you have a PRIVATE hangar -- airport building is FAR more distractive than at home

Those solar panels would be more productive if they weren't in the shade!

Those solar panels are installed wrong; over half of each panel is shaded.

I wonder if you can build during winter: virtually no sun power, so batteries may take weeks or even months to get charged. Depends of course where you are. And what about any heating? Or vandalism and robbery (of your exposed solar panels or worse): are you well insured? At remote locations this might be expensive. But if it serves you well: be happy, don't worry. And success with your repli tiger moth.

Holy moly oh, those batteries are $700 a piece am I correct??? You are on your way to having fun young man enjoy it, no idiots, no morons, no sub morons oh, now you're living

haul in your fuel ? stay home in winter ? Must have sold his tesla stock. great, keep going.

For God's sake... put the damned camera on a tripod.
