3 car garage = 1-car garage + 1-project workshop + 1 amazing, organized toolbox that never gets back to organized after first project begins in the aforementioned workshop

5:40 - This has to be the greatest explanation of bolt tensile strength coupled with deceleration consequences I've ever been witness to. It also lays bare the obvious issue in this world: not enough testicular concern when engineering things, by far.

Painted wood can also be referred to as a "composite."

May your new three car garage be conducive to un-muffled engine tuning.

All hail the calculator!

I love it how Matt makes it look like he is halfassing everything, but the man is a damn good engineer with quite adequate hands on ability. I said quite adequate in honor of you Matt. I hope that some day we bump in to each other. I'll buy you a beer for the halfassing content on this halfass medium. Love how you made fun of the imperial system while still being patriotic btw

If you're not already planning it, I would love to see a video or two on the logistics of moving between garages and/or maybe a shop tour of the new place. Love your channel. Keep up the good work!

I have no idea how you manage to deliver the line about American calculation without even blinking. I was rolling on the floor laughing

Exploding testicles is a relatively unknown phenomenon of land speed racing. Usually the guys doing it have large enough ones that if one were to go, the other could make up for its loss.

For bolts, don't use the "minor diameter" to calculate the area. Look up the "Tensile stress area" (At) in a table. It is a smaller value that what you calculated to account for the roots of the threads being stress risers.

I laughed so hard, I farted and sneezed simultaneously and it created the SUCTION CUP EFFECT causing my bunghole to be stuck on a vinyl seat...!!!! I need a pair of crowbars...!!!!

I am 95 european percent sure you have thought of this, but depending on the angles of the draft it might pull more on a few or only one bolt. With side wind or a car that is about to flip over, that could also include some fulcrum (?... as in a lever) action. I just want to have you producing videos for a long time going forward... I am selfish that way :)

That install hook is, by far, the most brilliantly designed piece of the tail structure.

It seems like the many many many many feet of welding on this project is serving as good practice! Looking good Matt

I admire your restraint. There is no way I would not have tested at least the Army Surplus chute with one of my vehicles.

I'm loving this channel. The combination of engineering and humour are spot on.

After the conversion from metric to American I was laughing so hard I was crying, oh my god, your humor is amazing.

Is there, like, a house attached to that garage? None of my business of course but there's a long tradition of gearhead monks that eventually just live in our shops. So much more efficient and the extra time freed up from never seeing or speaking to anyone speeds up the build. All hail

Glad to see you've not wasted the revenue from the channel, and instead spent it on more garage space. Nothing, NOTHING, beats having more garage space.

The metric->freedom units conversion was one of the funniest things ever.

Your TIG welds have HUGE heat-affected areas. Try doing the counterintuitive and increase current to increase penetration and speed + increase cup size and flow of argon.

I love this channel. All hail the algorithm!😊

I swear on everything I love: professional comedians excluded you are the funniest person ever! I’m not new to your channel, allbeit I did just officially subscribe to your channel. The topics are def interesting. I enjoy watching them and I have learned a lot. I’ve learned things which I had no clue about prior and passed that knowledge on to friends. Example: my friend who is a Tesla model 3 owner and I were talking about why no one offers real nice looking aftermarket wheels that look good. And then you taught me. And the Tesla owner knows as well. I love the learning.....but crying from laughing while I do it is priceless. Keep up the great work.....PLEASE. Oh yeah...all hail the algorithm! Lmmfao!

The second parachute is future Matt’s problem.😂😂😂

WOW. Those conversions really do get complicated🤣

Congrats on the new garage. As a guy that just bought a new truck, give me a shout to help move the couch

uhhhh Matt if you use 8.8 grade bolts, they have a maximum strength of 800 N/mm² and they will plasticly deform at 80% of that, so they have a yield strength at 640 N/mm². not 1000 N/mm². In the end, those bolts can still hold 144kN, or about 14,000 kg of weight. So its fine.

The bolt calculations had me in stitches mate, was very well done. Also, congrats on the move!

I'm so happy to hear about your future 5 car garage

Making my algorithmic contributions. It's looking good. What you are seeing is 5 years of people praying for rain. They are now getting their prayers answered, in a one month rainstorm.

Me watching the video: Better go to the comments and tell him he needs a manual backup on that chute... No wait, he's got it covered. This is not like the other channels.

Perfect I have a train journey and now I have something to watch. Thanks Matt!!

That technical engineering lesson is absolute gold 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Matt, you are the KING of unabashed sarcasm and we love it. Thanks for sharing.

there is a video sieres from the arnold company about making a moldless composite plane. should help with making the body. that plane has the speed record for its class and lowest drag for a plane that holds a person and uses quite a bit more aggressive tapering. the drag from haveing more weted aerea is significant so you can be too gentile with the air.

OMG, with a three car garage you'll be unstoppable!

The bit around the 6:20 mark is pure gold, I don’t know how else to say! As usual, so da*n funny!!😂😂

That's the most American mathematics ive ever seen.

This videos deserves so many likes and views just on the bolt calculation

Don't worry about the video length mate, this one was highly entertaining.

Omfg thank you for explaining the bolt engineering and I hope that send-cut-send understands that anything I might need of them will be sent to them, the second I have a project that needs it.

6:47 made me literally spit out my drink, lol

"I also welded this little hook up here, this makes it super easy to put the tail on and forget to insert the bolts" ;)

Pretty sure those tubes are aluminized, not galvanized. Exhaust shops weld through that coating all day every day.

Congrats on the 3 car garage. Big moves.

That was much more content-filled than the trailer video. I was surprised to find that I wasn't even watching it on 1.5x speed. Converting a boat trailer for that thing will still be a very silly choice, until you inevitably start welding tool boxes to it. I suggest portable power stuff, sockets for shade poles (non-motorized), a grill, cooler and seating. Those are what all boat trailers are missing, and it's about time they stop being missing. Of course, you could use solar panels for shade too, but you should probably put an airgap under them to reduce the radiant heating.

as someone who is building a 1/5th scale RC land speed car your videos are about the most helpful thing on the internet right now

Love the metric vs imperial you did xD As a european the imperial system legitimately feels like this

I had to stop the video at 6:55. Cause I had to pick myself up off the floor from laughing so hard. In fact, just thinking about the segment is making it hard to type. Off laughing again. Brilliant!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The last time I moved, it involved a decent sized lathe, a Bridgeport, a couple welders and all that other stuff for a nicely equipped metal shop. Oh yeah, and a bunch of hoarded steel and aluminum. A lot of fasteners in both flavors, etc etc etc etc. I decided I was never moving again and will be buried in the garden.

Hail hail almighty parachute contraption maker. 3 stalls 1) race car 2) Honda 3) living quarters.

Can the welds on the bosses on the car side of the bolts take 42,000 Cheese burger force?

Loved the "Party Popper" sound effect! I almost spewed a mouthful of coffee! You should teach automotive engineering. I'm sure your classroom would be full.

The handle you're using in the back for the power shutoff. Can't that get pulled by some tangled parachute lines? Looks awfully close to that...

All hail the algorithm... Going = good. Going fast = better. Stopping, especially the planned kind = best

The parachute maths was just Oscar winning stuff! Funny as f%ck! 😂😂😂😂

You have inspired me to set a record in my super fast car! 😁👍🇺🇸

The parachute release reminds me of loading munitions in the Air Force. You replicated arming wire remarkably well, honestly.

The algorithm seems to be rewarding you with garages, All hail!

Don't forget the tension in the bolts from torquing them up. It adds to the tension. Also no guarantee that they all load evenly. I would add a bolt or a pin in sheer. It's almost impossible to break bolts in sheer.

Sorry that you have to move again congrats on the 3 car garage! Great video, love that the pedal worked!

Contact the people who make shade sails and get some off cuts of high strength vinyl sheet and fastenings to do most of the body, you can stretch and shape it to some degree so you’d only need to make a nose cone instead of a whole body.

I loved the tail mount bolt strength math being done in American! I understood it perfectly. 😂

At 6:19, all your tension loads are only on two bolts, not four. Two bolts are in compression no matter if the force is down, up, or sideways. So net you have 90 nm.

Three times the number of unfinished projects! cool! All hail the algorithm.

All hail the plans for a 5 cars garage!!

Congrats on the 3 car garage! That parachute popper noise made me spit out my drink.

I'm gonna say it again: it's hard to find true talent in humor, but you have it in spades. Something about your style really tickles me. I hope you keep putting these videos out. Oh, and all hail the algorithm.

I'm a relative newcomer (from the UK) to this Channel, but I love the content and the humour. I will now catch up with some of the older videos. Thanks!

3 car garage just means 3 more simultaneous projects

6:45 Approachable armchair physics that is suitable for all audiences. I'm teaching my dog 😂

Must say this in german: was für großartige Videos, jedes Mal eine Freude! Danke ;)

Actually it looks like that tube is aluminized not galvanized (says Al on the side), which makes sense since exhaust tube is meant to be welded. No metal fume fever for you 😅. Always better safe than sorry though. Congrats on the new garage!

I guess the KZfaqr side gig is paying well. Congrats. Keep it up. What’s next? The 40x60 pole barn out behind the house?

The three forces on fasteners you need to consider are; Shear, tensile and shock. A fastener may have a high tensile rating but a low shear rating and a worse shock rating. I’ve seen HT bolts shatter when hit with the right shock below their yield strength.

@8:04 You damn near killed me friend!!! Build is looking amazing. Cheers!

Congrats on the three car garage!

I'm glad I was drinking my cup of tea when you did the American calculations as it would have been spurted out of my mouth as well as my nose

Congrats on the new crib!

6:44 Is it not more important to calculate whether the bolts can withstand the forces due to torque from side loading ,rather than the forces due to deceleration? The side loading will get amplified due to the mount being narrow and the tail being long.

3 car garage, im so jealous. Nice work BTW. AHTA.

that jab at the imperial system was great

Congratulations on the garage and thanks for the video

I like your humor..it is easy and not forced. Also a lot of good ides to see through videos. Good job.

3 car garage - Living the Dream !

You are still the most engaging engineer I've listen to , your sense of humour comes across well down under

Moving along nicely.

I like your attitude towards tools and the way you organise them. Unorganised tools takes motivation for the project away.

The joy of moving when you make stuff. Have fun. The car is looking pretty awesome by the way.

I have a 3 car… a project car, a cnc, a fab table, and weight bench in there mean i have to shuffle around like a hoarder thru their maze of news papers… a garage is like a hwy, make it bigger and it will just fill up more nd not fix nything

You need to mount the “Shroud” lines directly to your rear end housing!!! Or as close as possible! If not it will act like a lever unloading the rear tires witch gets ugly even in mild cross wind.

Congrats on the move, man :D Can't wait to see the news 3 car shop... erm... gararge..

Thank you for the always entertaining updates and for taking us along for the ride. Very much looking forward to your videos of moving and seeing your new place. Really appreciate how you do and explain things.

WOO HOO! More space is always a plus!!

Congrats on 250k! 👏

Congrats on the new pad. Don't envy moving one bit though.

Congrats on the new garage! I hope it has room for a lift?! Lots of used lifts available here in SoCal😎

just a bunch of cool engineering

by 6:54 I had to hit pause to wipe away the tears of laughter. Thank you, Matt.

You can never have too big a garage. I got spoiled to my 40 x 30 shop. Then I moved to a two car garage back in the city. Just not the same.
