Dismantling a Mosler Bank Vault Door

[Music] that's a that's a plaster that's not drywall is it [Music] so [Music] so so do you start with the big blade or the small blade small blade small blade you got to work your way up it'll only start with that and then once you have a cut in there this slides in the cut so it allows it to get onto that pen trigger head how tall is that blade 54 54 inch figure out what do you want to take do a cut and just see what kind of as a uh as a gauge for how i'm gonna do yeah i can do these because i'll do these two sizes yeah yeah i'm just curious through one side see how quick that seems to go [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you know he'll put it on [Laughter] [Music] [Applause] [Music] pretty close so did you guys know what you want to do as far as are you guys going to double cut now will you have to remount the anchors or do you have any lateral i have clay but it's not going to be much probably maybe an inch question for you is it going what you thought it was i had no idea what to expect so far i'm pretty pleased i think it's going uh as good as could be expected how about you good i was surprised how fast this all works oh it's incredibly fast wonderful a lot of people's going to ask who are you and why do you want to vote good question uh at vassal it's my name um i always do the sorts of uh things that i guess others maybe wouldn't normally want or try to attempt so this doesn't surprise my wife in any any anyway at all um feet beat the safe mover when he was uh moving my my gun safes in showed me a picture i guess he had been your place recently shortly there uh prior and uh he showed me some pictures of the safe instead of the neatest thing in the 68 years of moving vaults that he he was uh taken by his size that was what he called reasonable and uh he showed them photos of it i think it was on wednesday and then that friday afternoon i think you and i come to a deal for me to buy it i think this put it in my house just bought a new house and uh i have a room for my gun safes and i want that as the entryway into that room so fortunately my basement has uh nine foot ceilings it's high enough that it should fit right in and the room where i'm gonna put it is a double door um so it's got width enough to equality or something like that so i actually think that well executed it's going to be pretty stunning inside of a home you know i think it was built with craftsmanship and quality years ago and you can see that when you look up close to the detail of the door and i'd like to see it be repurposed it's still yet going to be a process to get it installed i really don't because for what i'm going to do with it once i get it out here i'm going to bring it to my my business and kind of map out my plan there because there's still work that needs to be done on my house from two of the four walls would need to be framed with structural steel to support it i've already consulted with a structural engineer on what would need to be done with that and it's doable i just need to create that plan so for the time being i'm going to hold it in my shop i'm probably work to chip out the concrete that remains around the frame of the uh transom and get it prepped up for the sake of what that next steps going to be and how exactly it might facilitate that because if you saw where my house is there's no easy way to get it into the backyard which is the way we need to go in because i have a walk-in in the back so i'm probably going to have to have a hydraulic boot crane put it in my backyard at a distance from my driveway and then whether or not pete's going to want to continue to assist or not i don't know being as heavy as this how are you going to level and warm it up well as perfect as it is that's what that's where you consult with others right yeah they turn to the experts because uh before he told me that door weighs a little over three thousand and you know i think it's one of those where it's mind over matter and it's certainly it can be done um i mean heck years ago the egyptians built the pyramids right they had no modern tools that they did so what i say earlier nothing worthwhile is ever easy right that's right well this is day two what are you expecting today oh good good stuff keep my uh i don't know be thinking positive here i think today we'll be telling getting uh getting the top cut done and then hopefully being able to uh clear that concrete out and pull on it a little bit just to see if it uh get the sense it's going to break loose or if it's going to continue to resist [Music] [Music] so now if you set it down and try that again you're probably get free from the walls is hang on [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] you
