Oh how I wish this were mine...

Built a vault last Monday and Tuesday and snapped some pics with my phone as we were building it. This would make a sweet gun room

After I shot in the shoe plates I started to weld the walls as they were being placed:



Usually I stand all the walls up and place the header first but since this was being built inside a gutted building, the maneuverability(sp?) was tough so we built three sides and left one side open to drive the forklift in to set roof panels:

Here's the finished product I do, contactor does all the finish detail work:


These are some serious locking bolts...This door weighs close to 6k lbs

nice... I could see the mrs. coming in and telling me to slide it a little more to the left.

do you set the steel in the slab?

[opie011]

No the panels come from factory all prefabbed. All I do is stand 'em up, make 'em plumb and weld them together...sounds easy huh?

somehow I see that as a real P.I.A. if you forget the combo

Not that I could ever really justify the cost, but just for grins; Ballpark for what something like that would cost? It is kind of funny when the vault costs more than the items inside, but value is determined by the owner.

Not a clue how much these cost.

Yea that welder is awesome. I bought it a little over a year ago with only 25hrs. on it. I've used some of today's best welders with the newest technology and I still like this old Lincoln!!
