Video description
----------
The shipping container castle was built in 2 stages over the duration of several years. Shipping containers are a fast, fire proof and cost effective way of building a structure of any kind and people have used these for offgrid homes.
Andrew has the best channel on youtube, he works hard & gets the job done . Definition of a stand up American
Its just a shame he has soo many ads on his videos. He wasnt always that way; and I get 1 or 2 ads but Andrew has like 7 per video.
@@neptune4167 He once said he doesn't feel comfortable taking money through Patreon. I would think it would be preferable to so many ads.
@@neptune4167 adblock ftw
@@MrTaorus AdBlock sux on iPad but 100% with you when on a desktop.

Andrew is a heck of a guy. He is a good role model for any young man.
Only problem he's a sheeple.
@@happychappy5135 what does that mean
@@happychappy5135 I don't get where you come to that conclusion...AT ALL!
yea imagine 10 billion people with castle . the american dream ! we only need 10 planet
@@MassMultiplayer there definitely isn't 10 billion people. And there is a lot of land to build.
This was in recommendations.. The first video I watched was the coal bin video, hooked ever since.
Andrew has dry humor, no ego, no clickbait titles.
In a world full of clickbait, it's such a releif to come across video titles that are acurate, descriptive, honest and that don't contain the phrase 'You won't belive what happened next' or 'Next level' or 'Insane Highly Skilled God-Level Workers'
@@jonathancook4022 Well the titles are not really accurate. Even if a video title does not seem appealing from Andrew you still need to watch the video. A video can say "Watching paint dry" it will probably be hald the video Andrew fixing the paint gun :) So its pretty much the oposite of click bait but ending up with the same result :)
I 100% agree with misleading titles and bullshit unoriginal titles like the ones you mentioned. As content creators the end goal is to get people to watch the videos, after all why release it on CZcams, they may as well just make it and store it on the hard drive. The only thing the potential audience has to go off is a thumbnail and a title, bit like a book cover and title. clickbait (in my opinion) has become even more prevalent in recent years because traditional media (newspapers, magazines) is losing money due to users switching to digital media, now they are creating even more extreme headlines to sell, more eyeballs = more ad revenue. Then we have youtubers desperate for views. But I think there’s another category - ‘rewarding clickbait’. A great title followed by great content, that where I want to be and I know I’m not there yet.
"The first video I watched was the coal bin video". Hey, same with me. I thought he was kind of a Hack at first, By the end of the Vid, I figured the method to what he does. Then I went down the rabbit hole...
@@fknsl1 my first video was changing the wheel bearings on his ford dump truck
I fucking love this guy. In November when you want to put a coat on, just don’t so you can get used to the cold. Words of wisdom.
Also a great way to burn fat.
lol he isn't wrong but uh.. even doing that when you work out in the cold every day you still give a small cheer when you see you get to have 2 full degrees after a week or two of -10 -20 lol
Work faster and youll not need a coat.
We've been doing that here in Canada for years
@@saucybaka4439 pretty much what i do here in New York, just suck it up early...but now it's 40F out and i feel like its summer LOL
"Allright, the job today is giving an interview for this guy from England."
The project at hand...
@@BricoleurTV "Levi and I are in this job today..."
Hell yeah, from the UK
Why did I read that in his New York State accent
..for no reason
Been watching Andrew for years, he is a true mans man, his home is a true man cave. He works his bollox off, bravo.
Why is Sid Philips talking about his house when Andrew himself has TONS of footage showing it??? His videos are movie length!!!!
Sid is just trying to jump on Andew's money train. THUMBS DOWN.
@@Sahadi420, Andrew must have agreed though right ? Either way, Andrew's a great person it seems.
I came across his video of him installing a radio in his old dodge ram truck with a chainsaw. I was a subscriber ever since. LOL
He has done that a couple of times. Most recently in a video he uploaded on FEB 10th named "Plow Truck Maintenance" at 33:45
A real man's dremel tool! 😄
A bulldozer and a chainsaw you can do anything!!
I did the same thing. Andrew is a true hustler, whatever it takes to get the job done, he does it. Curious as to how old he is?
Hold up. What? *heads to search function
Guy with nearly a million subs gives time to a channel with only 2k subs. He’s a good dude.
*3k subs - he’s defo a good guy
@@SidPhillips 4k now lol
@@SidPhillips 4.91k now lol
I'm a simple man, I see Andrew Camarata and I click.
Same bro!😁😁
Yup. No questions asked
As a 60 year old man now , it sure is good to see there is still some of our younger generation out there that can use there on minds and hands to build something and my I add he makes his living with his on 2 hands and is very good at it. People today need to make there kids follow his videos. And may I also add he is a well spoken and good mannered young man. Very good job Andrew been following your channel for a while now.
Good post most young people today have their heads full of mad dogs shit!
Fully agree, this should be part of the curriculum in schools, make money through your hands - there are many more individual like him. STOP the rise of influencers!
@@SidPhillips problem now is that UK is a 2nd America and it's all monkey see monkey do, if you have no teachers to teach then you are sunk, these problems stem from mid 70's parents that did not control their kids and if you do not give you own children 'home education' then don't expect the school to do it because it's not what their job is.
@@CarlosAlberto-ii1li Carlos, it is said that imitation is the highest form of flattery. In the "Makers" world, Andrew epitomizes the entrepreneur spirit, born out of a natural curiosity to see just how far a person can push themself to accomplish their dreams. He is respected by this community for demonstrating that solid work ethic, most likely imitated from his father and other hard working role models in his early years. Andrew shows that if you want something, then it’s up to you to do whatever it takes to attain it, and not wait for someone to give it to you or guide you towards your own goals. Blaming a system for personal failure or lack of drive and personal achievement is a foolish premise. I’ve always liked this saying..."If it’s going to be, it’s up to me!"
@@joevalencic5275 Not exactly the correct word for inheriting something from your father but obviously a word we all understand, l also comment here or anywhere when people say things about machinery, by all means have respect for any machinery in whatever form is necessary but have much respect for the engineers that created it.
This man has his own experience, distinct intelligence, and effective use of his skills. I love his way of doing things
Andrew has a brain like no other . I love everything he does . "He learns along the way" . Obviously he's doing great because he's doing nice and fun stuff all the time . He also runs a business and lives on it & it's amazing . One of the most entertaining to watch on youtube . Love it ;) Keep doing what you're doing Andrew , peace out from Sweden !!!
Dude is so young and knows soooo much.
Been following Andrew’s channel from close to the beginning. Got me to playing around with creating a channel for our small farm. Then one day I said I really should subscribe to his channel. Then I was really impressed that he turned around maybe the next day and subscribed to my very small CZcams channel. That impressed me. Nice guy.
The container castle really is incredible but i could never get past the no insulation. Being warm and cool is something we take for granted, but makes life so much better.
I have been following Andrew for about a year. Love his clear explanation of mechanical repairing things.
This guy is ridiculously talented to do this stuff by himself for the most part. Incredible
Great update with Andrew’s. You’re correct that nothing he’s did comes off as him being lazy.
More Americans need to watch your channel and your country would fix its problems with anything. There is something to be said for just plain old hard work, which you have in Spades! Great job Kid... Your parents must be so proud of your accomplishments..... Your friendly Canadian from NS.
he's a totally inspiring young man.
nice this new version of your interview with Andrew Camarata! Great that you got permission to use his footage as well. I listened the original 50 minute podcast so this is fantastic. Thanks to you and also to Andrew for supporting you as well. He is a very honorable and generous man.
Andrew needs some kind of film award, who else has a wheel come off of their vehicle while going down the road, then while simultaneously avoiding a crash they are able to pull out the camera in time to get the wheel rolling away on video 😂👍
Thank you. Very cool to hear Andrew interviewed in this manor. Gave me a chance to learn more about someone I admire.
Best series of vids on youtube IMHO. Love it when a notification arrives that Andrew has uploaded a vid. I wish him a great future. it's a shame that more youngster don't have his enthusiasm for working and getting on. he is an inspiration.
This was a great interview with Andrew and hearing the process explained of course you see it done on his channel through a lot of videos but actually hearing him explain things and articulate his process was awesome.
the view , waking up to that view! The sunrise, sunsets, stargazing, autumn colors, snow falls all from that view.
Andrew is one hell of a role model. My son and I watch his videos together every time he puts a new one out.
Love Andrew, amazing content creator and an even better mechanic/engineer/master builder/landscaper/architect the list goes on and on. He is an inspiration!
For a young fellow, Andrew is a good role model for younger generations to follow. He is NOT afraid of hard work and has a stick-to-it attitude and ultimately shows folks you reap what you sow. He is very resourceful in the repairs he does to equipment and always seems to get the job done. The best part about his videos are his dogs. The two dogs are his family and one can tell he deeply cares for those cute critters. Andrew is the type of fellow you’d want as a friend since he seems to be a decent, hard working individual.
Have watched Andrew from the first few videos , love watching him . Man has one hell of a work ethic , does everything himself . Self made . And great role model for young men that hard work and doing things right pays off huge.
Easily the best channel on CZcams. He does everything I wish I had the talent and energy to do. If I was able to build a house, it would be pretty much the same as what Andrew did. I have a deep respect for this man and how he do things. Yep. I'm an addict of Andrew's videos. I always learn something and love to see someone do stuff in a way that makes very much sense to me.
This was Awesome.
Gives a different point of view of Andrew that we don't see or hear on his videos.
I'm glad that I was able to come across it.
And Yes...I'm huge follower of Andrew's channel.
Really nice interview and summary of his castle build, thank you!
I'm a longtime fan of Andrew's channel, but I think this is the first time I heard him in a longer conversation with someone haha.
I dont think i've missed any of Andrew's videos'... they are awesome!.... Cheers.
Great interview! Andrew is great material for sure. I drop everything to watch his latest videos. So amazing to watch. Thanks for providing some insights into his work ethic and thinking.
Andrew is just a hard working, no bs, simple kinda guy. Likes what he does, tries different things, sees a problem and tries to solve it. His driveway video got me hooked and i've been a subscriber ever since.
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you sincerely for sharing this.
Thanks SID. I listened to your original podcast. This is a nice follow up video.
I strongly recommend that interested viewers look up Andrew Camarata. Start at the beginning and prepare your self for the following. He's gonna fix something. Usually because it broke for no reason. The most offensive language you'll hear is "it's a piece of GARBAGE"... Thanks again SID.
King Andrew and Castle Camarata. Tenacious, hard-working, and always finds a way to reach his end goal.
Andrew is my hero! He represents the can do attitude! I've been watching his videos since almost the beginning! I hope some day to meet him and talk and maybe see his finished house.
Andrew Camarata - is one of the nicest guys you could probably meet in your life, watched him for a few years now, if you pay attention each video about what he does is down to the details / really top guy, there's nothing I think he'd not have a go at and whatever he turns his hands to / he does it well.
His videos are really cool, always something you can learn and he's happy to share, plus each ending - shows where / what he's been doing, a job well done, plus love the dogs too!
I saw your video for the first time last month and then I saw all of your older videos 😂 greetings from Greece. Your house and your idea of building its brilliant. And the view from the top floor close to the windows it's breathtaking. All this nature it's perfect
Andrew Camarata IS THE MAN !!! he has the most interesting channel on youtube. i found him a few years ago by accident and have been a follower ever since. sometimes he does tings a little different than other might do it, but it always turns out fine and looks great !!! his castle is amazing !!! more people need building like this to live in, maybe not this size. of course Andrew uses his mainly for work, so i could see him wanting a smaller version using mainly concrete. GREAT INTERVIEW WITH A GREAT GUY !!!
Very cool to hear interview of Andrew......
Andrew is richer than most now more than ever with his accomplishments and passion. Keep up the great work
Watching Andrew do what he does best, is most of all as simple but inspiring lesson along the lines of;
If you work steadily and faithfully to the (life)goals you have set for yourself, breaking them down by thinking
"What needs done now" and "How is this best achieved", you don't have to stress and worry much because
You will feel your way to success naturally.
Staying true to yourself and standing by what you know to be right is the best way to approach any new Project, Challenge or situation, it is when we are open and comfortable with our own ideas and beliefs that we can be truly open and comfortable with others.
Stay true Andrews, you will leave quite a mark on this world I have no doubt,
A long time subscriber
This is definitely one of the coolest builds I've seen, being a medieval fan as well as a fan of using recycled sea containers for homes. It's so solid and cheap. Just need a sprayfoam friend after lol.
Andrew is admired by every one that watches his videos. Nice guy and a good work ethic. Wish I was young again. I'd love to work with him.
Andrew is definitely in the top couple percent of the most motivated and creative people that's for sure!
Great interview. Have been watching Andrew for a few years. Really enjoyed your video. Thank you.
He's got some awesome work ethic. He's local to me in the same county. It's awesome to watch what he creates.
Andrew really is an underrated legend of youtube.
Great video Sid, been watching Andrew on and off, amazing fellow.
Good interview. Nice edit of the footage. Cool to hear Andrew have a chat like this
Love Andrew, the dogs and his welding woman that helped him weld the house.
Andrew is one of the best if not the best on youtube
Sid needs to interview Levi, he's been a "partner" in Andrew's video endeavors since day one.
he's also the Lab Inspector
yes, unfortunately levi passed away recently. RIP
Being following ac since his channel has about 100k subscriber.. Andrew is such an inspiration and hardworking man..
I'm So impressed and your passion is off the charts. Thank you ~
"9 or so, maybe 10" same lol I hate waking up early and doing stuff right away. It's not natural!
That house project was the thing that made me subscribe to his channel. Really a brilliant bit of work. I appreciate it, especially the crenellated walls on the upper floor.
Nice interview. Ive been watching Andrews channel for several years. Good stuff.
Awesome job. You reminded me of my dad who passed away 13 years ago. He was a welder and made a camper frame out of metal. He would of thought your house was a smart idea.
One of the best interviews I love everything about this build
he is an honorable and ethical man, stands by his work, conscientious. Lives life on his terms.
Andrew consistently puts out great content. I've been subscribed to his channel for a couple years now.
Thank you both for the interview. Andrew fan.
Amazing. I'm over here trying to get motivated to build a shed here in the Florida heat and this guy built a castle.
Absolutely bloody awesome, your ingenuity in the build is fantastic, I myself was quite excited at watching it grow into building it is now and I love your knowledge on making it fireproof, for the area you are in ,,,your interview was very interesting, all the way from Melbourne Australia xxxxxx
Well done sid that was very professional and equally entertaining thanks!
Thank both of you for doing this interview! Good stuff
thanks mate
When I think about the equipment and personnel you would need for some random (I.T. guy like me) to pull this building off - that Andrew did for himself - it seems like the cost would become really crazy, fast. So it is just so rad that he did all this. I love stuff like this!
we love Andrew and his home too :D always joke "good enough" is his way but really he does amazing things and has a wonderful attitude and life and we enjoy his content very much
My husband and I love watching all of Andrews videos!! What a fabulous young man!!! So motivated and knowledgeable! I’m concerned about Levi. How is he doing.
Definitely one of my favorite channels to watch
I like this guy he’s a good role model and I’ve learned a lot from him and he’s funny with some of his videos I like it with the mix of funny and entertaining and educational keep up the good work man
Great interview, I love the questions and visuals.
As always more great content from Sid and Andrew! Thanks for the video!
cheers mate
I don't think you could get more of an accurate picture of what the American Dream looks like than this video.
Amazing man.
Congrats
This guy Andrew camarata is a real deal I’m impressed with him big thumb up ⬆️ for him 👍
What a great interview.
I've been watching Andrew for a while now, always entertaining.
edit* His videography and music input is second to none, as well.
Very good selection of clips from Andrew's videos!
Thanks for the kind words Pablo & I also appreciate you sharing this in the Facebook group. BUT I could of done better after reviewing the video several times. I believe it definitely told the story on the container castle coming together, but for instance the paint scene near the end could of been speeded up and I used the sketch up clip twice, plus I didn’t enlarge certain clips. I worked on this for 48 hrs and that’s about my limit until I have to move on to another creative project or I just get bored... so upload was clicked. BUT like my dad always told me, check your work for mistakes before you submit!
Who would use a chainsaw to install a new radio in his dash? Andrew Camarata would. Loose body panel? In goes a self tapper and no longer loose. Bolt stripped? Out comes the cutting torch. This guy lets NOTHING stop him, that's his appeal. He is fearless. A few times he almost lost it, but that comes with the territory. Even on jobs where you think he's finally met his match, he pulls out some trick that makes you go "huh...that's clever AF". And his love of his dogs, or anyone's dog is legendary. Just a down to earth workin' machine
Thoroughly enjoyed this interview. AC is a hell of good person and role model.
He is someone of a kind for sure !
Great interview!!!!
Big fan of Andrew! Great minds...
i love Andrew's Channel !!! Keep up the Great Work !!!
Great interview. Thanks for sharing.
Andrew's videos are always interesting whether he is working or playing !!
Unique, well diverse content.
Thank you for sharing.
Too awesome! Ive only seen one castle typa build like this but it wasn't made with shipping containers and it had round tourits and no balcony in the tower type deal either! I wish we could have a thourough tour but ah, you don't always get what you want either! Nice job, good work, it's beautiful!
WHAT AN AMAZING PROPERTY!!!! THIS LOOKS LIKE HEAVEN..ID NEVER WANT TO LEAVE MY PROPERTY
Your Castle is absolutely amazing.
He is one extremely skilled man that can fix almost anything....
I have watched this entire series, very impressive.
I admire his work ethics. There are so many people standing in the road asking for handouts. Andrew puts them to shame.
It’s not about an American it’s about a guy that loves life. God bless him.
Amazing young man with a mega amount of knowledge !
Ahhhhhh....Adventures with Andrew.....have subscribed for many years.
