You’re right about the gradient, certainly adds to the complexity of the job! I’ve purposely not finished off the design drawings until I’ve got all the area prepared and properly measured. Already I can see some changes needed to fit in with the contours. All which means more work but a better looking structure when it’s finished 😀

Thank you kindly 🙏 quick fix and move on just isn’t my style. It does make it challenging to grow the channel as the YT algorithm really needs regular uploads and short-ish content to get noticed, but I’m not prepared to lower my standards or change my projects for the sake of channel growth. The channel is about the projects I’m doing which I enjoy sharing, rather than making up projects just for content. The YT algorithm will also dislike that I’m not based on a single skill set, so you’re going to get a multitude of projects from landscaping, building, car restoration, cabinet making, metal fabrication, etc. Given time I’m sure the channel will grow based on its own merits😀. The way I see it I’m already reaching more people each week than I do as a teacher, so based on that metric it’s already a roaring success! I’m in the Wellington region of New Zealand, the hilly terrain being synonymous with the islands seismic activity.

Nice…someone as excited about the new build as me! 😀

Nice work! Accoya would be pricy, and I guess that due to the cost of treatment they would only select quality boards with little to no defects. Like you, woodwork is one of my favourite pastimes- but shovelling would have to be my least favourite!

You're so right, however I'm committed to making this a tiny space (loving living in a tiny cabin and this building is right next to it). I'm working up to building a mega-barn where space will be plentiful!

Never stop learning, the brain is an amazing organ that should be constantly nurtured. Good work on incorporating CNC, it's such a great resource when combined with other skills. I've been very lucky to continue my learning through my work as a teacher, experimenting with CNC, 3D printing and laser cutting. Thanks for the subscription, and well spotted on the Festool! I've had the Rotex for around 10 years now and it's done everything from cabinet making, sanding whole house floors, even polished a concrete floor with it! (and now shaping bricks).

Now that's an easy request to comply with! One of the most time consuming parts of editing is trying to reduce the video length! 🤣

Thanks for watching and appreciate the comment. 🙏

I do hope so! Plenty of challenges still to work through, but I'll get there.

🙏Thanks for the kind words, very much appreciated.

Welcome. That building is my house! Well, cabin to be precise. It's a hideous structure relocated from a seaside village around 20 years ago but it's warm and dry (for the most part). I should really demolish and rebuild it, but that's not my style. You'll see it featuring on the channel in the future where I've got big plans to transform it.

Thanks. One of the challenges in this build is to match the aesthetic quality of the retaining wall.

🙏 Thanks for the encouragement. It's certainly a beautiful place to live.

🙏your comment is appreciated. There's a lot of noise and bustle in the online world, but that's not my style. Glad you're getting enjoyment from the content.

I appreciate the time you've taken to comment, helps make the process an enjoyable one 😀

👊

That’s a good idea. Would help with slope stabilisation as well. Eventually I’ll be reducing the slope with some excavator work when I redistribute the dirt I dig out for the mega-workshop build, but that’s a while away just yet.

Hi Leigh-Ann, I’ve only just got started! Hope you’ve settled well in Palmy.

@@danwaterson356 we have. Really enjoying the more relaxed atmosphere. Feilding High school is great, I’m learning lots by teaching year 11 Engineering- have used the lathe and mill drill in constructing and air compressed engine and have now learned to MIG weld. We are currently making self propelled scooters.

👍 thanks

Both figuratively and literarily the hill to climb! The brick wall around the parking pad turned out very nicely, now I have to make the tiny barn parking equally as good!

Thanks for the comment. I'm very lucky to be living here!

@@danwaterson356 I live in The Okanagan Valley B.C. Canada. I too feel lucky to live where I do. Hearing the birds of your area in your vids is also an added bonus.

haha! me too! There's a few details about this build I've yet to resolve, but I've got enough design work finished to be able to get stuck in. The rest will work itself out in due course........and maybe you're right about building another wall!

Hello there again, there's no way this building will be big enough for my permanent workshop but it will allow me to try out a few building techniques that I'm thinking will feature in the mega-shop build. Plan B is very much underway in terms of the time I've spent working on a design for that structure. There's a lot I need to accomplish before tackling that project though, but I'll get there eventually.

@@danwaterson356 Oh I see, let's call it then for what it is: a lab! Haha! No surprises here. Your methodology (a teacher at ehart) becomes clearer with each episode. First he thinks and the he executes. I am super stoked a permanent workshop is underway! Until next time, have the best days ever!

Thanks for the comment and the sub! This series will be a test-bed for some techniques I'm planning to use on other projects around the property.

🤣Эта ось должна весить 150 кг, а учитывая крутой подъезд длиной более 100 метров, я бы ни за что не рискнул ее перекатить! Оно бы быстро ушло от меня!!!

👍 me too!

Excited about building this one! Lots of details still to figure out, but looking forward to sharing the journey!

Thanks. Yes the sealer will be going on, just need to let the wall dry out first! There’s been sporadic rain for the past few weeks, just enough to keep it wet. Lime looks great and is cheap, but I wouldn’t use it on a high traffic area as it does track quite easily.

They are quite spectacular tree ferns, and quite common in NZ.

That’s so very kind of you to say. Glad you’re enjoying the content, there’s another video to be uploaded very soon.

Thanks for the comment 🙏

Welcome to the channel. At some point I’ll put up a video covering my background, but in summary I’ve served time as an engineer, product designer, cabinet maker and for the last 18 years headed up a design technology department in high school. I’ve always had an interest in design and have been building stuff for decades, but whilst I’ve always had a desire to film and edit content I’ve only just started to experiment (thoroughly enjoying it!)

Thanks for commenting 😀 Square top is definitely getting the most votes!

You can’t go far wrong in life with good standards and high expectations.

I think you’re right, adding a round over will not add to the design 👍

Thanks

You’re too kind my friend, and thanks for the re-runs!👍 Now you mention it those roofing panels are a bit abstract, definitely Rotko vibes! I built it for a friend and she preferred the more subtle tones showing on the outside. I’m impressed by your commitment watching all the videos 🙏. All going to plan the next video should be out around mid week.

@@danwaterson356 Commitment such directly proportional to the quality of content which is so good, so inspiring. I appreciated very much the exchange you had with a couple of people on doing strictly what you love, unconcerned with the algorythm "thing". That's the way to go IMO. 3.57K right now. Looking forward to the first cornestone, the 100K in not too distant a future. I also agree your narration style is classy, reminiscent of the calm elegance of Sir David Attenborough. Looking forward to the next episode!

Thanks. It certainly pays to DIY!

Welcome to the channel and thank you for your kind words, most appreciated. Glad the YT algorithm has sent me your way 👍 and thanks for the subscription which really helps the channel get promoted.

Thank you for your kind words, much appreciated. This piece of land is quite remarkable and should keep me busy for the next 10-20 years!

Welcome to the channel and thanks for viewing the videos. Not a bricklayer, just someone who loves designing and building stuff! Loads of projects to come, so stay tuned 👍

🙏 thanks for the comment. This is rather an indulgent size, but will allow for a good sized crop. I guess the beauty of planter boxes is they can be as small and tall as you like, so all you need to do is find somewhere outdoors with a bit of sunshine.

Haha! Strangely enough it was an entirely enjoyable job despite all the mind-numbing cutting. Digging the foundations, however, was another story!

🙏 thanks

Thanks, it’s interesting to see everyone’s different opinion.

Thanks for the comment. I’m so looking forward to sharing the next project. I should get the design drawings finished today and start work on the project tomorrow 🤞

Guten Tag. Ja, sie haben eine kompaktere Oberfläche und die harte Oberfläche ist weniger saugfähig, allerdings konnte ich sie in Neuseeland nicht kaufen.

@@danwaterson356 Ich finde es auch toll, dass sie alte Ziegel verwenden. In Deutschland und speziell im Norden wird traditionell viel mit Backsteinen gearbeitet seit Jahrhunderten. Leider werden immer weniger Verzierungen verwendet. Die Maurerkunst ist am schwinden. Schön zu sehen, dass am anderen Ende der Welt diese noch lebt.👍

Now that WOULD be tricky.....but would look very nice. I've just modified the design on the building I'm about to start for the next series of videos and there's going to be a little brickwork included. Perhaps the Celtic weave could make an appearance...🤔

There’s certainly loads of ways to build planters, and blocks would be one great idea. Definitely not cheaper though- I would’ve needed around 280 blocks, plus steel and concrete reinforcement to resist the pressure of the soil. Material costs would’ve been close to NZ$2000 whereas the timber only cost around NZ$600.

@@danwaterson356 Okay thanks - answered my question, carry on 🙂

Thanks so much 🙏. You live in a beautiful part of the world!
