Wow!
Love the Arbor but I absolutely loved the detail you included so easy to understand! WELL DONE SIR!!
Great job! Question, can you attach a 6' gate door to this abor? Would you need to beef up the wood being used? Would your build be to top heavy for a standalone on concrete slab? This would be a great update video idea! Thanks in advance for the feedback!!!
It sounds amazing. Will struggle as the dodgy winds you have in Ireland with that should last for years. I don’t know what’s happened with UA-cam they must’ve moved Like button
Love it, this is exactly what I was looking for
Perfect instructions. This is what I'm going to build. Thanks.
Glad it helped
Amazing piece of work John. Lovely job!!!
Great work and a great teacher
So wonderful
I could listen to you all day, thank you for sharing this! Absolutely love your design, going to build one myself!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks John. Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
John, thanks for this video, very helpful. Great workshop set up you have there.
Very cool project and great video that will help me build my trellis 😊. From what I learned if you cut pressure treated timber you need to apply copper solution to the cut area to preserve the longevity.
Really nice John. Always good to show how to back up in a project if necessary. Great project. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it
MOST AWESOME
I have learned directly from you on sharpening my jointer blades and bought a tormek setup even though it is all very expensive, still waiting on delivery of it though, been waiting two weeks. should be here soon I hope. thanks for all of your video's John, great to watch and learn from.
The Tormek is a good investment
Gonna give it a shot tomorrow wish me luck 🤞
Great project John, thanks for taking the time to share.
No problem Alistair
This video was amazingly helpful thankyou.🙌
Glad you liked it
You're awesome, just built this today by following your video. Thank you
Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful.
Beutiful craftsmanship
Thanks
Love your videos
Fantastic work, John! Beautiful arbor! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks 👍
Hi John, Nice job, I watch most of your vids, so I thought I better drop you a line or two. I like your teaching , easy to follow and understand, so thanks for doing the vid's you do for the wood working community. From Bill in Australia.
Glad you are enjoying the content Bill
Very helpful video. Built an arbor of my own this past week with the help of your instructions. For anyone thinking of following these plans, they are straightforward and very doable for any skill level.
Glad it helped!
Very nice! I may attempt that for my back yard.
Glad you liked it Debra
Nice! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Good job. Thank you
Glad you liked it
Looks sweet John👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks George
That's nice work bro 👏
Thanks
Beautiful John.
Thanks 👍
Very detailed. Great video
Glad you liked it
Great Job ........ Great video !!!!!
Thanks James
Fantastic work John very just built one myself last year.
Nice one William
Another good one.
Cheers 👍
awesome job
Cheers!
Love your accent!
nice project
Glad you think so
Awesome job! I like how you do the metric / imperial dimensions. As a electrician here in Canada 🇨🇦 I am fluent in both. But there are so many people who cannot wrap their heads around the metric system, it's far easier to use than the imperial system.
Metric is a lot easier to use. I'm ok with Imperial but when you get down to 1/32 and 1/64 it really slows me down
I am a woman attempting this. Can you share a list of the wood measurements that I can use when I go to homedepot
Thank you brother! I like how we can always count on a garden project or two from you each year. It seems that many YT’s are more and more chasing some mythical algorithm honey pot regarding topic, video length, project -vs- skill -vs- tips -vs- tool… I appreciate that you build what you want/need and with that comes the tools, skills, and tips. I personally prefer watching projects, I actually bypass videos on that are under say, 12 minutes (really can’t cover a project or skill in that time). So, yours are always right up the middle for me. It also seems to me that I genuinely want to ‘spend’ (time has value or it does not) watching a guy who still maintains a IRL trade. It would be awesome, I’m sure to just live in your shop (I know I think so), but your dedication to improving, learning, fitting your shop, and making content is coming from a natural drive to do those things. I’m sure the sponsor has helped and I think it’s near how it represents your trade well while being something a bunch of the ‘normal folk at home’ can benefit from. After all, I think most of your target audience is directly in sync with you: has a IRL trade/job, wants to spend time in the shop, and enjoys learning tools/skills while completing projects. Thanks again and keep driving brother.
P.S. “Crazy Workshop” and yourself are thinking a lot alike 😂 below is a link to what he released about the same time yours came out. A contrast of the two will give you an idea how your making things accessible, informative, and enjoyable to guys like me. His is obviously his own, but your project and video is the kind of content that will get weekend/evening crafters to the place where they can do even more adventuresome things down the road (crawl, walk, run…) I just thought it a good example of what I was saying above earlier: ua-cam.com/video/4gR3mVwII0k/v-deo.html
Thanks man really glad you enjoy the content all I do is share what I'm doing in my workshop and like you say build things that I need.
I will check it out
Going to give this a try next week as I'm finishing up a raised bed area with walkway and wanted something like this for a few climbing annuals. Very minor observation - the top of each supporting leg appears to have exposed end grain. Always a possible weak spot for rot from standing water. Would need a really good coating of something to seal, or just cap it using an off cut to stop water sitting there.
No curves here, so 45 deg angles (2cm or 3cm from top depending on timber width). For the braces a 45 looked very plain and not well. Instead I picked the mid-point of the brace, as you would for the curve, and measured a 120 deg angle (60 deg to each side) and will cut that out with a handsaw or jigsaw.
after that lovely build it is definitely time for beer.

Nice job! Quite an accomplishment!
Was it difficult to level the arbor?
I love the look of clematis climbing the arbor. There are also some very beautiful climbing roses that could work. You are giving me some inspiration once again! Thank you for that!
Glad you liked it!
Another great, down-to-earth video.
Its amazing to see lumber prices
My shop is in the Philippines
These are current prices for rough sawn lumber per BF
Mahogony 27p 0.67 Euros
Teak 65p 1.19 Euros
16mm marine ply 900p 16.28 Euros
94lb portland cement 290p 5.25 Euros
The downside is you need to wait a year or two for the lumber to dry
Tools are about 1.5x to 2.5 times western prices
Glad you liked it, timber prices are ridiculous at the moment
I love this, but think Id need thicker lumber. we've been getting regular 60+ mph gales here.
You should be growing runner beans up it?
How much all together for the timber? Want to work out if it’s cheaper to just buy one
I’m subscribing to your channel. Looks like there’s a lot to check out. 👍
Thanks for the sub!
What kinds of wood options?
Great video as usual, I think I'll make one of these for my house. What type of wood did you use? Where I live in the States Pine is the most common, or Douglas fir.
Most construction timber here is Douglas fir.
In USA you want to ask for ground contact pressure treated posts and non-GC pressure treated wood for the rest. Wood spieces will vary across regions in USA but pressure treated is most important for outdoor project.
In the UK Wickes are selling C16 45x95 (nearest to 2x4), 4.8 metres at just over 22 euros.
That's expensive
Hi John just been looking at this vid again and as I retire tomorrow ( still going to do shifts when needed to help out lol) an arbour has been a major want for a while. As I said recently I am new to this woodworking malarkey because of you lol so my question is this. Mine will have to cover a curved set of 3 small steps to a lower level in the garden, so could this design be modified easily.
I’m looking at this a year later so you probably already made yours. I have a hill in my backyard and steps too. I’m adding 14 inches to the down hill posts to compensate for the drop. Hope yours turned out good.
What do you call those covers like you have on your sliding saw - other than "those covers"?
Its called an old gazebo I cut up to make a mitre saw cover. I have a video on it.
Sure...simple construction...because we all have wood working garages like you've got. Maybe try making this same structure with minimal tools?
What is the extra protection you use for the legs please
Look up wood treatment for ground contact and you will find what's available where you are
Which tracksaw do you use please?
Its the Bosch track saw
A friend of mine said that he thinks the 2 x 4 s in the ground may warp. Is he incorrect? I am planning to use your instructions to build an arbor.
I have had no issues putting 2x4 pressure treated timber in the ground
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed I agree - key is to use pressure treated ground contact approved posts.
How do I get the plan for this with out subscribing to something?? I haven’t found any good plans and don’t want to subscribe to something
I’ll buy you 5 coffees! I just don’t want a subscription
Jesus, how can you say that timer is expensive. Those prices are about 60% of what it would cost in England.
Nice Arbour, will use this video when I build one.
You guys have it worse
Can you make one with just a hand saw and a jigsaw screws an a drill.? 😂 that’s all I have
You sure can
This guy speaks funny
Cheap timber for today's dates. Priced up 4.8m 4*2 cls treated. 22.50 a length!! Robbing b#####rds
Wow that's expensive
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed they used to be the cheapest around too!
Nice little arbor, but it seems to me that the internal upper frame of 2x4s is unnecessary. The cross-lapped 2x6 and 2x4 construction is plenty strong to use as the upper frame. Using them as the upper frame makes the structural elements themselves decorative, rather than applying non-structural decoration.
Its all structural, using an internal frame allows the screws to be hidden, it could all be done with joinery and no internal frame but that isn't something the majority of people could make
@@JohnMcGrathManInShed it looks plenty decorative mate great job 👍
It might be helpful for you to turn on the CC and read what the voice recognition thinks you are saying sometimes sug comes off as snow and fish shows up pretty often,whether it's voice recognition software of a live typist your accent leaves strange combinations.
The ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxS-P9OAq3v4HNpPFqYFWNEq9A-E_PbZIN are indeed helpful, and the product is entirely promising if you are looking forward to building a single shed in your home It is entirely different from the other havoc packages that we usually see online and therefore it is such a package beyond expectations!
