That’s a proper job Tom, class. The designer, engineer and constructor, you’re wearing all the hats mate. I am building a custom concrete panel garage/shed at the moment myself. Been making the trusses over the last week, only 12 feet wide on 15• slope. I am pretty much working in parallel with your project. All the best mate.
Tom Lamb you know is the sort of fella that would come round and give you a hand…top lad! Could you have used one of those oscillating tools to trim the end of the beam under the roof ? 👍🏻
Great video Tom and very well explained when we were using a mig out side and it was windy we use to cut open a tote bag and weld inside it to keep the wind off you while welding and keep up with the great video 👏👏👍👍
Lol, just looked up those units, impressive tool. Tho I can't find anyone locally, but a few will mail you a rental (closest one is a 3 hr drive there). Those certainly would have made a few jobs simpler over the years... Too bad I'm kinda retired (joints gave up after 50+ years of construction), but sure glad y'all gave me a reason to do a bit more research, lol! Tom Lamb, more than JUST a farmer! Thanx !
Nice one, Tom. I wasn't aware of the cone method so many thanks for explaining that. Very clever. I've had lots of profiles cut in steel plate up to ~150mm and they used water blasting for it. It's very accurace and quick. Not sure how they'd do the RSJs though. For the rafters I think I'd sister the two roof beams together. So, copy the rafter plates on to the new rafters then then build the extension. Once it's up you can measure the between centres of the two holes in the rafter plates and then make these out of ~50 x 5 mm flat bar or 50 x 50 x 5mm angle if you want it any stiffer. Basically build the extension the same then bolt the two together via the rafter end plates with fish-plates. Simples! The footprints will maybe save your cats doing the same?
I worked in a small design team in the Test Instrumentation section at Ford Product Development, and one of the projects we developed was measuring torsional vibration (mainly for engine crankshafts) using a laser. You don't actually measure the laser beam, but rather you modulate the laser with a more manageable frequency. I was the mechanical side of this and can't remember the details. Prior to this, we used a thousand toothed encoder, which was far too coarse for what the engine guys needed. This was a very long time ago, and we used a big gas laser (I am not even sure if there were solid state lasers at that time) and it was decided that it was not safe to have that much laser light bouncing around a dyno cell, so I don't think it got a lot of use sadly.
Another great video Tom. Sending off the cutting and drilling list to the steel supplier is definitely the way forward. Getting it blasted and primed is the cherry on the cake. Beats struggling to process stock lengths yourself, especially things like accurate angle cuts etc - been there many times and its bad enough with little diddy 150mm beams! Look forward to the next one mate 👍
Very well explained Tom you could get a job teaching if you get fed up with farming 😂. Won’t take you long to get the steel up and your right about putting the wood inline it also means all the bolts on the roof will be inline. That’s where my OCD would kick in. Do you do a bit of rallying as I’m sure I seen a ford escort in your shed when Olly was videoing your pit ?
As soon as I seen you go up in the basket I was thinking I never seen any welding mask… then you said oh I got to go back down for the mask 🤦🏼♂️😂 happens to us all
interesting project Tom, looks like you've got it well in hand! Do you have any crop in the ground yet? I'm not sure what the UK planting dates are like compared to North America.
@@Tomlamb980 Thats good! i have a few acres of spring wheat in the ground which is very early for us, but thats all at this point. we had about 15cm of snow last week in a late season snow storm. Optimal dates for corn and soybeans are about 5 weeks away yet.
7:11 Could you not have just used a multi cutter to trim the timbers if they’re hard to reach? Or am I missing something about fastening the roof panels?
Deepest respect for what you are doing there, but I wonder if you could not "simply" put the new timbers on the other side of the steel and bolt through both? You wouldn't have to bother with the angle iron and the new timbers would still be supported by the original steel beam below...
Possibly could have used a multi tool and cut the timber purlins short so the other one lands on the last rafter. Just weld another plate on with a pre drilled hole. But I’m sure your way will be fine.

tom multi tool wood out and drill a hole to save all that welding and messing joining to old shed great vid keep them coming👍👌
You just answered my cone question, fantastic idea ...
It is a good thing for two more videos. It's always fun watching your videos, Tom.
Man you are just "Tom-of-all-Trades"
That's pronounced "Farmer"
Nice job Tom when I cut angle iron I put the point to the top as I fine it easier on the bandsaw blades

Not just a pretty face!!!!! Seriously Tom, a very impressive video.
Nice I like the idea of the cones because I was wondering as well.
Liking these videos Tom
Well done thanks for sharing 👍

Cracking job, vy handy with it all pre cut/drilled 👌
🤙🤙👍👍
Hello Tom thank you for the video and the explaining of what you are doing and how things fit together
Very welcome
That "trigonometry computer" is a wonderful piece of kit! I just can't afford one, lol. Just a transit, tape & my drawing, harhar!
Hire one like we do

So many skills Tom! Very impressive .
Very enjoyable watching, very informative. Be great to have a brew with you.
If you can't make it precisely, make it adjustable.

Perhaps once the building is complete, we can test its fireproofability by expoding a dishwasher?

Great vid Tom. Didnt know that those front loaders could crab like that.
Another great video Tom.

Super explanation, thanks for sharing
Great vid..Jack of all trades….👍👍
You could with a vibrating multitool chimble out the first few inches of the wood for the roof. Or step it so it has a stepped joint
Great job. 😊
Loving it Tom! Following from Philadelphia, PA.
Thank you very much
Loved your diagram and explanation of the Time of Flight camera at around 13:24!
Bon Boulo😆😆👍👍
Fair play, all very impressive.
Thanks Tom, I was wondering about the cone things. It should make life a bit more easy when swinging in a big bit of steel....
Fantastic Tom!
good content man of many talents
Great video Tom! When joining the wood to the old barn, could you just rest the new wood on the old beam and bolt it to the existing wood?
Hmmm I could
Good kit a tellyhandler easy
Tom Just To Let You Know I’ve Just Subscribed, Always Great Content keep them coming 📹🚜🏴👍🏻
Thanks, will do!

5:57 just chuck the grinder down ya big hallion 😂
Multi tool would got the unwanted ends of the joists off
Tom Lamb, he's a builder.

Great update Tom, Question.. Is your little stick man on the laser drawn to scale, or were you exaggerating a bit. 😄 👍😇

Yes finished spring planting 2 weeks ago little late this year because of the weather have you ?

I think I'd have been going at those timbers with the multitool and recip saw and lopping a couple of inch off
More than one way to skin a cat though
Thanks Tom
man u love ur steel tom i wish i could weld as good as you mate tats some service ur steel supplier offers
A cracking video tom
I think it's about time I finished my shed, still not completed after 5 years.
13:45 Hey Tom, as someone who's had things dug out of my arms, legs and face, a dab of sunscream will do ya rightly.
I’ve always had a red face
It’s his natural radiance dummy ❤️🔥
Some work that, for a lamb
7:11 Could you not have just used a multi cutter to trim the timbers if they’re hard to reach? Or am I missing something about fastening the roof panels?
I would still have to unscrew the roof from them
Recip saw down to the cleat and then a combo of forstner bits on a drill/plunge routing the rest would have had each one done in about 5 or 10 mins
@12:08 is that a Tom to scale? Including the 3rd leg
Another construction lesson from Tom Lamb Construction Co.
While your're there, put two bolts per timber/steel joint and use bloody washers on bolt heads and nuts. Whoever built that was a lazy fool.
start digging Tom ;)
We use them total stations all time in steel erecting but we call them a EDM
Do grout the columns in after you have erected it and its all lined and level
I think you need to start wearing your welding helmet when you're tacking up. You've got a good sun burn at the end of the video
Always have a red face
As someone who isn't from the UK, I can only assume that calling an I-beam an "Irish J" is meant as poking fun at the Irish, but how and why? 😁
What sort of extra cost is for the cutting service % wise.
Deepest respect for what you are doing there, but I wonder if you could not "simply" put the new timbers on the other side of the steel and bolt through both? You wouldn't have to bother with the angle iron and the new timbers would still be supported by the original steel beam below...
The roof sheets would not quite fit I don’t think then the overlap isn’t that much anyway
Possibly could have used a multi tool and cut the timber purlins short so the other one lands on the last rafter. Just weld another plate on with a pre drilled hole.
But I’m sure your way will be fine.
Does the cone-adjustability in the bases decrease the pull out strength compared to stud buried in concrete?
not once its set all in place and filled but i'm not sure on using neat cement as tom said
Sand cement mix then
@@Tomlamb980 did i muiss hear ive and a couple of large STRONG beers . use to vist stamford often from the shit hole grantham but now in better in france.
Know nothing about metalwork but could you of drilled the holes in the steel your self or is that a special drill or machine job
Yes I usually do the drilling but I’m showing people who can’t do it themselves that there are people who will do it for them
Wouldn’t a ahlmann be a nice machine to use on your farm?
A what?

stop being a tart and just plant the perlins next to the exciting ones
Had another look at this and if I do that the roof sheet overlap ain’t going to work as there isn’t much tollorence
If only Tom pemberton was half as good as you . He’d make a half good dairy farmer.
