DIY Shed That's Changing my Life (1200% Income Increase) 

@@SwankeyMonkey although playing with it from time to time, is also rewarding in itself...

Thnaks, I have music on other videos though

Good idea but it might be too tall for the shop doir

Thanks

Awesome, thank you!

I 'saw' what you did there.

Thank you! Cheers!

Yes, it's been a good so far, I think people are tired of those low quality kit sheds. Funny thing is that I am going to deliver two outdoor benches with this as well :)

He does make it look easy indeed but definitely not a weekend project for a novice. Well not at the same craftsmanship

Someoneelse Who has all those special saws? Not me. I guess you could have box store or lumber yard cut but how much is it per cut? $1??

@@janonthemtn Harbor freight has them for a reasonable price. :) You don't really have to have them, anyway. A hand saw will do.

@@janonthemtn Special saws? I don't know a single man, unless they live in an apartment, that doesn't have a circular saw and a miter saw. They aren't special, they're the most basic of tools. You could easily do this with just a circular saw and those are cheap. Even a good miter saw for the average home owner / wood worker is less than $300. And if you're a home owner, that will more than pay for itself. Most people don't need a table saw; I don't even use mine, and you certainly don't need one for this build.

@@Swearengen1980 Maybe I can try, I can measure...

Yea, not seen that on other builds. I'm looking at building a 16ft x 10ft and the videos I see don't put any bracing or noggins in at all. I've had visions of me putting up the sides and then watching the shed collapse to one side like a small scaffold tower with all the bracing in one direction lol (see a brickie do that then climb on and it collapsed 😆) certainly gives more confidence in its strength.

Something that small doesn’t really require to have cross braces but pretty neat that he inlayed them anyway.

Lots of sheds side sheeted with PLY or OSB. That will perform side bracing for you.

Craftsmanship

@@dmh151076 depends where you live. When you are in a cold climate with a lot of rains you want your stuff to be more rigid because the soil under it is going to move each winter/spring.

Thank You

Thanks for watching!

Thank you, I will

Thanks, Most of my viewers are in the US (I'm in Norway). There might some who will try to compete, but that's ok

@@DieterSchneider thats a great outlook because not everything is a zero sum game. Great video!

Many may try... but at the end of the day. Workmanship stands the test of time. Some may make it cheaper; but will probably fall apart a lot sooner too. Nice to see craftsmen at work. Remember, if it looks too easy, it's normally because your watching skill.

Den Beech u can convert

andy ruiz ..not every one builds things , that’s why people buy instead of haveing to make what it is they want, it’s easy to buy for many people.

It’s only cheap to build these if you already own every tool you need. For anyone that doesn’t, it’s literally cheaper to buy it.

@@fishmut that's basically what he was saying

@@ThisTall well you can actually get a cheap circular saw, measuring tape, and drill with bits all for less than 200$. Everything else he has is just extra stuff that makes it easier, but not necessary

They are paying for the hours and hours upon hours he’s worked and increased his skill and knowledge. Same reason graphic designers are so dang expensive. Most people don’t have tools and know how to make what they want. I’m a maker, but there’s still things I’ll buy that I could have made, but sometimes you have to ask yourself...what’s your time worth?! :)

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks!

Exactly what I was thinking. Now he has to save on construction methods.

Rock on!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thank you Sir!

Thank you! Cheers!

It works very well. These boards are only 19mm. It's probably the most popular cladding here in Norway.

@@DieterSchneider Interesting and yes I was thinking that 19mm would be the minimum. I did wonder if you had routed the ends yourself but clearly not.

Thanks!

Looks like it's roughly 4x8 based on the sheet of plywood he used on the roof.

That's something to what I thought, but no, Dieter said 30 sq. ft. In a comment. I don't see it, just relying. '

Thank you! Cheers!

Judging from the license plate this guy is in Poland or some other eastern European country

Norway

I had the same question. Rest of the build is great. A lot of thought gone into keeping it simple with minimal material yet structurally sound.

Yes it makes it extremely rigid.

@@DieterSchneider First time for me to see this as well. Are those your thing, or standard building codes in Norway? I never see that in the Southeast US, so I was wondering why. Is it due to more snow in the winter putting heavier loads on roofs?

@@matthewisthebest Before modern sheathing, diagonal braces were always used to stiffen a frame. I still use them in addition to the sheathing.

@@LogHewer But they're not necessary at this point, especially on a build like that. A novice builder could easily just add a 2nd stud instead of trying to notch in a brace, but neither are exactly needed on such a short side with no door. On that shed, it's just a waste of time.

I presume the drip edge will later have a metal roof applied over it.

some parts permanently put together with nails and other parts that can be taken apart and put back together with screws for being transported

And I want someone to cut my steak for me. (Really, wouldn't that be nice? 😎) seriously though, a person wanting that could easily make a list of the boards used in each panel, then go to Excel and start listing them. If you want to guess at lengths, plug those in in another column, and in another column add price from the store for each raw piece. Then, in another column, add any cut notes you might want. I built two covered porches, no experience at it, just didn't know how to explain to a builder exactly what I wanted. So, I decided what size deck/floor I wanted, then the depth, and made a detailed drawing of it in... VISIO! Yeah. It worked great for thst, but was only 2D, so I had to draw each view as a new drawing. But I used supports thst were to code for beams and joists and really rigid roof rafters. Measuring the real dimensions of 1x4 cedar boards for the deck, I made one in Visio, width and lengrh, then created an "array" to make all of them, at the proper spacing. ( laid out on the drawing with a small gap between them ) Doing all that enabled me to make a complete materials list, including screws and other hardware, very clearly. I even laid out the plywood sheets for a pitched roof using Visio. I first made a front view, then used the measuring tool to see how long each side was to the end of the eave, and then figured out 4x8 sheet placement so I knew where the smallest pieces would be. Those I placed along the ridge, which in my case were long strips about 14" wide (long edge at the ridge). I was even able to lay out the steps, including rise, run, stringers, and even how to attach them, using that drawing program. Then it was jist a matter of counting (manually) each piece of each type, and listing it in Excel. That let me do my shopping a LOT more easily than what it seemed like I was facing at first. It took a long time, but I have t porches now that look great, and 18 years later, are durable and should outlive me by many decades. For appearance, I chose an A-frame pitch roof in front that matched the roofline of the house, and put composition roofing on it, like the house had. I had the company who reroofed my house back then leave me enough to do the front porch roof, too, when I got to that project. It took about 2-3 months to ger the porches done after the roofer did the house. In back, I chose a shed roof, and used painted steel roofing, because I wanted rain runoff to go away from the house, and metal for longevity of the roof, since it is mossy back there. Each "covered deck" is 8x16' with over a foot of overhang on the roof eaves. Northwest style, ample eaves, because we get a lot of rain. Not like California. Sorry to go on so long, but it's what I did for a materials and cut list.

@@logmeindangit How did you type all that without getting half way through and wondering, "does anyone have any common sense? It's right there in the video, just look and count....or decide on the dimensions that work for your needs and sketch it up". It's not rocket science. Most of it is elementary math. And all these people who keep asking....the dude sells his plans, not gives them away. It's right there under the video!

I’m guessing because it only takes 2 hours for him to build it, and he sells them for $1500 at a 1200% profit. Seems a little pricey at $1500, but I suppose there’s some rich people out there that’ll pay it.

@@WBBClips I assumed it had something to do with the business side of things, I was just curious what the story was behind it. I know the margins are great on something like this. Did it come when the business was low on cash? Was he able to pump a bunch of these out and save his business/marriage/etc. Like I said, I was just curious about it, hoping it was more than just a click bait title.

It is because he speeds up the build with fast forward, did you not see how fast he was moving!! :D

WBB Clips it says 1200% “income” increase, not profit. All he’s saying is he’s selling them so well his income has increased 12x

He wrote in his description for the first video: "How is this changing my life? It has become one of my most popular products, and they boost my (struggling) business. It's easy to make and has a pretty good margin. It also fits in a van (coming up in part two)."

It's very good but the roof leaves me thinking you said it change your life 1200% how could that be true unless the video did that for you also what did you do with it after surly it's not severing you well in the middle of your work shop

It's called shiplap
