We now have an Elevator for the Backyard Bunker! Visit www.kiwico.com/jerryrig to get 50% off your first crate of a monthly KiwiCo subscription with code JERRYRIG and huge thanks to Kiwico for sponsoring this video. We have been working on my backyard bunker project for about a year now. And Cambry is able to visit for the first time thanks to a Wheelchair accessible elevator made out of a scissor lift.

    i work as an elevator technician, you could solve the wobbling problem by adding secure side guide rails on the shaft and on the elevator cabin you could add rolling guide shoes (wheels). also, you could add a safety killswitch on top floor and on botton to disable the extra course of the elevator, making it stop at level and accepting only commands on opposite direction. edit: since the elevator is a double entry, and upon close inspection of available space, you could also use a Sliding Guide Shoe. my idea is to apply T shape rails on the back side facing each other and add supports beneath the cabine. the problem with this is that needs a guide rail oiler to keep the rails lubricated or you risk the inside inserts of polyethylene to break due to friction

    Hey, engineering student here! Just a quick note on the concrete: Usually it is not recommended to drop wet concrete from such high heights. By doing that, the concrete doesn't stay as coherent as in the tumbler, thus by dropping the wet concrete it creates air gaps in the concrete slab, thus reducing the strength of it (unless it is a self compacting concrete, idk what concrete you used). I don't think that this is significant considering your loads, so it should be o.k. But take that in mind for the next time and use a thick hose or sth similar to pour the concrete! Love your project! Cheers!

    Ideally you use a tremi chute with a flexible canvas hose, solid hose versions are used in underwater placements. They are often referred to as an "Elephant Trunk". Although there is debate over how much free fall placement of concrete affects the strength of it, if at all. For a slab however, I'd use one just to prevent the material from getting everywhere.

    I like the wheelchair lift. My wife ended up in s wheelchair for over a year. My task was get my wife to the main floor of our house. I ruled out ramps and chairlifts. A wheelchair lift was the only practical solution. My task was to design, engineer, and construct an elevator shaft for the wheel chair lift. I did it under a week. This around 25 years ago. I took precise measurements. Then used CAD for the design. I had a cut list for every 2x4, 2x8, piece of plywood. It took me one evening to buy and cut the lumber. Then another evening to build it(I borrowed a neighbor's nail gun). I was only off by one 1/8 inch. The elevator installers where able to install the lift in one day instead of two. The installers praised me for the shaft and joking offered me a job making elevator shafts. I was proud of that job. On your safety box. Our wheel chair lift had a similar box. People will grab the upper edge of the safety box. So you need to have enough space between the upper box edge and the elevator shaft to prevent pinching of fingers. The shaft had to be be something like a ~1.5-2 inches bigger then the box on all sides. I recall this anti pinch design feature of my elevator shaft vividly 25 years later. Check on the precise distance, It was range, they wanted a big enough gap not pinch fingers, but a small enough gap so you wouldn't stick and arm in it. Best wishes, Kurt

    @@stevethepocketit might still be bull. Im not certain, but my immediate concern when i hear phrases like that is that they might mean “stronger per weight” like how titanium is often said to be stronger than steel. But with the titanium example, its only stronger if theres more cross sectional area. A 1” round piece of strong steel is still stronger than a 1” round piece of titanium, just much heavier. A piece of titanium of the same weight, but much larger in size, is stronger than steel, but size constraints come into play in a lot of engineering situations. So yeah, i think its possible that this fiberglass rebar is really strong, but im not going to immediately accept it as true until i can research it further. Theres a good chance that that stronger claim should have some sort of asterism beside it.

    A massive dam we built used tons of fibre glass rods for ground stabilization to stop the hill side coming down on the access road and access path, the only thing we really used steel for was the toes of the dam but that was cause it needed to tie into the concrete toe and concrete back of the dam. If fiber glass can be used for heavy duty applications like that I don't see why it can't be used for smaller things like this, plus it's really nice with how much lighter it is and not having to worry about scratching paint and protective coatings like you get with steel.

    I really appreciate how thoroughly you've planned the accessibility aspects of this project. My Mom is disabled, and as I'm sure you'd agree, not all accessibility features are created equal. A ramp on the side of a building with no other considerations inside. Or an elevator inside a building, with no way to actually get in said building. I've seen, and had to struggle through, so many half-assed "solutions". Your bunker is more accessible than most government buildings. The elevator, a raised flat floor, and the omission of raised bulkheads at the doors, all things you could have done differently. But you went above and beyond for the sake of others, great job!

Actually, only the lifting part, of course, my elevator doesn't go that high, but high enough to cover one floor. Works great and everyone was amazed at how simple it actually was. Now I can easily get to my basement with the wheelchair. Good luck with building your bunker. However, as a disabled veteran with two Purple Hearts, I hope it never gets to the point where you need it. But hey, it's a strange world we live in.

    Save those Drive Motors, they make really good winches. You can use a couple pieces of c channel to take that wobble out. mount the c channel to the walls and have a rod with the follower bearing in it. That aluminum is going to be loud.

    Fun thought, by having a (lid) plate on the top of the platform cubicle, that gets "left behind" when the cubicle lowers below the surface, will appear as if a simple landscaped part of the normal property lawn (with say for eg: a 3" raised flower bed, for artificial flowers), which hides the fact that there is in fact, not only the cage waiting there, or at the bottom, but that there's a huge hideaway bunker (down there) at all. The wandering controller, on that lead attached to the platform/cubicle, could be stored when at the top, behind (inside) a small Garden Gnome etc., which will simply stay beside the flowering top plate, when the scissor lift is lowered, because the wandering controller will be with the people going down anyway, so hang it on a hook inside the cubicle, when at the bottom. Anyone viewing the yard from above, will ONLY ever see, that slightly raised (artificial) flower bed, unless the cubilce is raised above ground level for entry & exits, before lowering to drop the cover plate in position and putting the controller inside the "Garden Gnome - (which just looks the part, just sitting there. Also, have a "top of fence or higher", backup solar panel recharger, hard wired to a house supply battery charger circuit, which could be hidden across the lawn to be dropped down the shaft wall, to the batteries far below, so that they can be trickle charged all the time, (even if there is a major power cut, at any time) in consideration, that after the novelty wears off, the scissor lift won't be operated 24/7, and daylight solar can then be used - whilst a nightime house supply trickle charges at night. It's a clever & brilliant repurposing of an almost scrapped machine, yet a very cost effective alternative, to a conventional lift that as you said, inside you house, cost several thousand dollars, as that one for all it's high cost, possibly isn't as "cool" to operate as your make-do lift. Oh and when you "sell the place" you won't even need to tell them about, your very own secrete and totally private "get away"... Unless caught creeping across "their lawn" one night?

    1:03 well no wonder Menards hardware store uses a lift (order selector forklift) as a makeshift elevator lol. They've got one in a fixed place in a shaft they built to reach the first and second floor. That's crazy how much money that is for a residential elevator. You are very smart for going down this route. And so is the Menards CEO or whoever whoever made that decision. The thing is Menards is the third biggest box store hardware store with Lowe's and Home Depot being first and second. Obviously being a commercial business they can only do so much to fit in with code standards but using a scissor lift as an elevator for your own personal residence... You can a wire up call button and all sorts of fancy stuff that they wouldn't be able to do at menards. Another words, a raised and lower button on each floor, wired to the vehicle (scissor lift) Great idea. You know it really brings Jerry rigging to the next level with what you came up with!
