  • When Jaime needed a new mower barn we decided to try something fun… attempting to build it with ONLY leftover materials and scraps that we have accumulated over the years! And since we’ve been building and doing woodworking for about 20 years, we had quite a bit of leftover materials to choose from! Join us for this awesome start-to-finish building adventure and see how it turns out!!

    My Dad built my wooden mower shed with a drawbridge ramp. It is on huge hinges at the bottom and the flap closes upwards to become one flush with the front wall by lifting it manually or using the locking ratchet pulley attached with a rope on a hook handle. I can ride the heavy mower up the ramp while on it. It is over 30 years old now and still going strong. There is a high window at the back wall and a separate door close to the ramp to access the equipment without lowering the ramp. It holds the ride-on, equipment like shovels and rakes, etc. clamped to the inside walls, has a utility trailer, 1 self-propelled and one battery mower, weed whacker, lawn sweeper, extension cords, water hoses, soil tiller, soil bags, and some chemicals in there all neatly stored. I've always been in awe of it.

    As a type 1 diabetic, working blue collar work, it would be great to do a video with ray, following him, to show people how much crap we go through just trying to get through a day. How our minds never rest, and how much people don’t understand. Love you guys. You could do a video of how y’all overcome your physical challenges, including Jamie, with his new fingers. That would be awesome.

    I laughed when you talked about the 3" nails being too short! I used 20d nails and a palm nailer in the hard to reach places. In 2004 I bought a woodmizer LT27 sawmill. Then I designed and built a 10x16 woodshop. It was a LOT of work! I cut and dried all the framing lumber (true 2'x4"), siding (beveled pine using lapsider attachment) and roof boards (tongue and grooved 7/8" pine). I then built a custom sliding barn door using a pressure treated pine frame with tongue and groove oak panels in the middle part of the door from the mill. I did it by myself. Wished I had someone to show me so, so many times! I watched some of your other videos all this evening including start to finish in one video. great job! y'all are amazing! I more than most, can relate to the struggles you faced. right after I finished installing the roof boards, it started pouring down rain. i was cussing so bad! I scrambled to get a tarp up there to no avail. fortunately, i put about 1/8 inch space between the boards. the gaps closed, but did not buckle. whew! lucky me. Thank you! god bless y'all. I sold the mill about 10 years later. I was making too much of a mess. Ha!

    Arlo's little screw/soap tip wins the day. I would be careful to sand of the oil prior to staining because it might keep the stain from taking properly. Never think an appliance, electronic or tool is broken until you have dried it out a long time. Sometimes also spray with electronic cleaner too and get it going again.

    That’s exactly how I build all my trusses for my sheds that I do. Is build a jig on the floor. Makes it so much easier, that way you know each truss is the same. But I also stab two pieces of half-inch plywood or OSB to where the two pitches meet to stiffen up that weak point.

    A well put together team of contractors like this group gives contractors like myself to pay really well to keep to notch help . When you have really skilled team it makes it possible to frame full size houses in the middle of the winter when it's snowing. good energy positive attitude are things that get things built faster . I do not like finish work I can do it. I do know someone who kills it on all the real fine trim work so I have him do nothing but finish work . You find everyone strong point and have them do what they do. The worst feeling in the world is doing something new when building and your so concerned about making a mistake . I bring on younger people who have some basic understanding of carpentry but have never used a nail gun before so I always make them get on the nail gun as long as they feel confident and I tell them don't worry about missing a stud here and there and rock and roll can always go back and fix those small things. Great work really enjoy the content. that looks like some south or north Carolina red clay seeing that was like finding gold . when not working . I am out in the woods building BMX dirt jumps 40 years old and still riding bmx keeps you young

    The problem of "free materials" in this case here I reckon is: You're all a highly efficient, even more highly specialized builder's team used to a certain assortment of materials and tooling You use every day to successfully cut short in time-to-build.
    I saw the mountain house You filmed building, and it's almost frightening how fast that went in those conditions.
    On the other hand: As a boatbuilder and restoring engineer working with local carpenter/framer teams, I worked a lot on historic buildings and "old" boats. Often, the building code wanted old techniques used to not destroy the historic character of a building or ensemble. Every friggin building (and every boat coming from another builder's yard and another time) I worked on was a whole different set of ideas and styles, most were churches and/or clergy buildings in catholic Bavaria, Austria and northern Italy, and the church had chief engineers traveling to oversee what was built with the top tier local builders they engaged in their projects, which led to "locally untypical" constructions and connections/styles. We had to go into the statics and loadbearing characters for each knot before making changes/repairs. That way You aren't even tempted to try re-doing it with the same length of nails, screws or the same dimensions of timber and forged hardware You as a builder's team are used to work with.
    So, the point is, coming back to the story of the lean-to-to-the-lean-to You started with: They (like Your ancestors) had no bloody inspectors to please, they had no warranty to insure, they wanted it built in the spare time with what was handy and easy to source, with what knowledge they had gained (or sourced from the neighbor's son recently trained next village), with hardware they had or could make/get locally = cheaply, 'cause China wasn't in the market yet, back then. So, knowing different non-nailed timberframe connections/knots, knowing how to make round natural grown trees yield to Your overall construction, knowing what to do with which species of wood and which sorta hardware - or with a lack of said hardware, for that matter - was much more the thing back then.
    You know where to source the "right" 3 and a half by 1 and a half twoXfour material, where to get the nails NOT getting stuck every now and then in Your Paslode nailers, and You think "cost effective" putting Your 120-bucks-an-hour selling point into the equation. Which Your ancestors did not: They did put in the equation how quick that thing started to do its job, and how long id did that job of shedding the tractor or the bailer ..... no bucks-per-hours put in the equation, and if so, then more as hours to drive to get things from town while not doing farm work.
    So, the character of work is vastly different: The oldtimers did that with handtools, as You had as a quote in the video, which made it NOT a function of time by principle, but a function of knowledge, ideas and perseverance more than a function of money spared, or put in extra, for that matter, in terms of time.
    Anyway, that mower-she-shed looks fantastic, true craftsmanship becomes visible when You gotta force Your "free" materials to yield to Your ideas, which You mastered excellently in this build. Thank You especially for sharing this one! Regards from the other side of the pond.

    Jaime is just a wealth of information. Have to admit, even though I know it's kind of a joke to cut him off, I want to hear what he has to say! BTW, the "over" engineering of this shed was awesome. Loved the video!

    Darn good thing you modified those barn door brackets. Solid oak doors are HEAVY !!! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

    It's such a cool thing to build something so good that it will live long after us.

    That was the most strangely satisfying thing I've watched in a while. That may be the first "bomb proof" shed I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing "the fun""
