Just a GREAT video I learned a lot more from your fast paced video than the other videos on youtube showing me the easiest way to build a shed lol, Thanks guys
hi guys, the greatest success that ive ever had was by using the Wilfs Shed Formula (i found it on google) without a doubt the most useful info that I've tried.
Hmmmmm I need a shed and a SMALLER garden ......but for some reason I make my garden bigger every year, good thing my property is only so big 🤷🏼♀️ I can’t help it, I love it !!!! it’s just so much to take care of and do all by myself.....I don’t understand how people can be bored, I have so much I wanna do !!!!
Nice !!!! Since I don’t know how to build anything, you had a lot of good tricks.....now if I can just remember them when (or if) I get to build my desperately needed shed 😍
Nice work Dieter! With all your constructing in that shop, I for one "need" to see how you get them out of the shop! I guess the prima built cat house is a no brainer, but man am I curious to see how this and the other humongous buling gets transported out! Hilsen fra Osterøy :)
Love the trick for cutting the seats in the rafters. BUT would have like to have seen how you measured the sloped uprights in the side walls. I get that you fixed then removed a plate to underside of rafter. But then the uprights just appeared. Shame.
Probably held the board up against the side where it will go then just marked where the plate hit the board. That'd be my guess on how to do it with no measuring.
So if he knew the pitch of the roof 3/12 for example , those all correspond to an angle in degrees of bevel on saw , then you plumb up and mark either the long or short point of the angle . Measuring in place is very doable in this situation so definitely the easiest.
Great job. You certainly make i t look easy. I love the 1x2 inlays, must add a lot of rigidity. Can you tell me what skill saw your using. I know it's Metabo, but can't see model number. Is it light ?
Yes do it yourself mate, the bought ones are too flimsy. I made my own from reclaimed timber using 3 by 2 studs, got eight foot lengths at only 1 pound sterling each but needed de-nailing. You will be much more proud and experienced if you build it yourself.
Very cool video! I like the idea of the V frames in walls; not typical around here to do that. Always makes me laugh to see work done in centimeters. This is going to sound silly but I wish I could build stuff in metric. In Canada, everything is in metric EXCEPT construction. I just can't get my head around those fractions man...
Here in the UK we use centimetres and millimetres in construction. I was the last year in primary school to learn inches and feet as well as metric so I can do both. I live in a 200 year old house and believe me I can spot a metric measured piece of wood the minute I walk in a room. There isn't a single straight wall or regular length in the house. The man who floor tiled my hallway was so panic stricken by the job I told him to put down the tape measure and do it by eye so it looked right. The hallway is exactly as wide as it needs to be so a human can walk down it comfortably. It wasn't measured, it isn't straight and it works. They just did it with paces, arm lengths, thumbs and hand widths.
Nice that you used diagonals, this is pretty rare nowadays, but i still see these as very necessary. I think the structure have to be stable itself not with sheeting.
I took woodshop in school in the 80's. I had no interest in it really, my friends were just in the class. Wish I could go back and slap that dumb me and tell him to pay attention because this stuff is cool.
You inspired me to build my shed. Unfortunately I ordered my lumber from Lowes and got complete junk. They failed to pick it up as well. My dream is mostly ruined but I will try and salvage what I have. I'm going to Home Depot or a local lumber yard for future lumber.
Thank you for the great instructions you provide. I really enjoy your videos. However, I have a question. How do we weather proof the sides which back up against the back wall. I’m anchoring my shed to the wall of my house. I have a brick veneer house, but the concern would be the same regardless of it being weatherboard or brick veneer. My concern is when it rains directly in that area (back house wall) or when the wind pushes the rain in that direction, it will rot out the back wall. Does anyone here have any ideas or suggestions to deal with this? Thank you guys in advance 🙏
Anyone know what model that handheld cordless Makita drill is? It's got an 18V battery on it, a rear handle and it can cut at least 1.5 inches deep. It's not Makita's 6.5 inch circ saw or their 12V 3-3/8 circ saw. Is it Makita's 5-7/8 metal circ saw?
