This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
Skill Builders says, 'go large or go home'👊Thats one mighty media wall there guys😎Great job Dan
Cheers Del.

@@i.d.e.kgames4590 what
I love watching how meticulously he measures everything, planning his next cut before fitting everything together. Brilliant
Thanks. 🙌
Absolutely lovely build, knocked it out of the park 👌
It's a shame you missed some of the process steps that were taken. A full build video of this would be brilliant.
We have quite a bit of unused footage so we might put out the uncut version with Dan's commentary
It's like you know what I'm building lately and uploading just the right video for me.
We are watching you Adam
Great job Dan👍🏾
Great work Dan.
Dan's the man! 👌
Lovely Work!! Great video............thanks
Smashing job Dan!
🤝
Made a great job of that!
Great carpentry skills well done mate
beautiful job well done
Not too shabby Dan!
Top work Dan.
Thanks Ralph.
I would happily pay for that job and give great reviews - if I could afford somebody right like Dan to do the job
Simply, simply lovelehhhh
Master craftsman at work. A professional who takes pride in their work. Great to see a drill driver in use instead of an impact driver.I had a so called carpenter fix my door hinges with an impact driver. It is the most abused tool around.
An impact driver is a very delicate tool if used correctly
Stupid comment. You can use an impact to fix hinges by just taking it easy. I use one and it had four settings, setting 1 is more of less no impact at all so all good for doors and such like.
@@gavincollins9376 Every screw head has been stripped on my door hinges...that is abuse of an impact driver and stupid.
@@shuvadey4294 That's his inexperience, not the tool..
The carpenter in this video uses an impact driver to screw hinges in another video lol
wonderful job
That’s the Bee’s Knee’s 👏🏻
DAN: New media unit complete.
CUSTOMER: mmmm, I was thinking… maybe it should run along that wall. 🤔
Superb job.
Thanks Slashley.
Stand back… master carpenter at work! Great job Dan! 👌🏼😉
Thanks Chris. 🙌🏻
Looks very nice 👏👏
Thanks Mark.
I'm building something similar... but four modular units, independently standing but fixed together and against to wall... I've decided to use 12mm ply ... it will be stained (a light grey) and polished to let the grain show through.... Getting lots of ideas from this though.
Great to watch true tradesman be great to no how much it was for labour I struggle with priceing
Great job! I know people have commented about the span of the shelf but as a lowly punter, as long as I was advised of the possible bowing problem, I can't see the issue. Don't put heavy stuff in the middle and/or be prepared to pay for a fix if it all goes wonky in a few months/years.
The back edge is supported all the way so it stands a fair chance with 25mm thick MDF but, like you say telling the customer is the key.
That is some job!
He's bloody good is Dan.
This is great for people to see what’s involved material and tool wise I’ve had a few people say it’s too expensive, great job Dan how do I get a sticker for my systainer?
Thanks Mark.
I’ll send you a sticker.. 🙌
Video Suggestion: What tradespeople do you need to do a particular job, and how much to expect to pay?
I'm and idiot when it comes to tradespeople and always get worried about who to hire to do various jobs and the order things need to be done in. In this video, for example, I see the plug sockets are up the wall, and I also see there are carpets. I assume I'd need an electricion to do the sockets, but who decides where they go? Do the carpentar and spark talk to each other before hand? Also, with the carpets, is it OK to go over the top or do I need someone to come in and cut them to make it easier to paint?
There are loads of things I am planning on doing, but I never get started because I worry about wasting my money getting people in at the wrong time.
DiyPerks did an awesome one too
Is that your workshop where you did all the cutting?
A joy to watch a professional at work! I was surprised though at what sounded like a close fit for the doors… won’t that be a problem after painting?
Was that the bit where you heard it touching? Just after, you see Dan take a slither off with a fine bit of bench dogs marketing!
Ah ok! Thanks 😊
Absolutely lovely, really like the thought that has gone into it…the only thing that I dont like is the the sag you get on single skin mdf shelves, I just find over time they have a tendency to drop in the centres especially if they are loaded!
Great work on that project though top job 👌🏻
Hi Luke
Dan discussed that centre shelf with the client when they gave him the design, as they saw it. The shelf is supported all the way along the back and is 25mm thick but it is one of those unknowns. If it eventually sags the will need a centre support to hang it off the 4x2.
@@SkillBuilder completely get that, it wasn’t any form of criticism was just something I’ve seen and had myself. Absolute top job that I would of happily paid for 👍🏻 keep up the good work and content lads
@@laidbackLUKEY thanks.
Great job Dan , wish I could have those tools 👍
@@dermotkelly6946 thanks, it was a great to build.
Outstanding Daniel 👍🏻
Thanks Lee.
I don't know why, but this reminded me of when I used to watch the A team. Lovely job and nice finish.
None of this changes the fact that in 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them...maybe you can hire The A-Team.
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. 😁
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. ha, I'd forgotten that bit.
@@Ultimate-roofing-square. haha, I was just telling my 8 year old about the A Team yesterday after he seen a picture of Mr T from Rocky 3. Great memories.
@@Daniells1982 it was essential viewing in its day. 😉
Great job as usual, maybe a few little up lighters on the top maybe give it another slant.
Fantastic job , what engelbert Strauss pouch are you wearing Dan on your left side
Thanks Callum.
Not sure the model but it’s old and from ES.
The doors look different on the final painted reveal . . . were they routed to get the fielded panel effect?
Yes!
Dan. Why did three of the dividers have cavities between them when the others were just MDF screwed and glued back to back? Cables?
Excellent job! What do you use for the trestle trestle base. It looks like you you suck on aluminium bars and then you put the 2 x 3 cls over it
Thanks Chris. Yes the bench set up is that. The 3x2 can slide on the aluminium rails. It’s quite versatile.
Painting that to a decent standard getting into all the nooks and cranny avoiding dripps and getting good coverage is another job in itself and not a quick job..
Will the shelves sag over time because you used MDF?
Job worth doing is worth doing well!
What kind of wood is that u are using?
Thanks
Have you got a link to the yellow hose cover please lad's and has anyone used it isit any good 🤔🍺
Hi Tom, I had a few made and sold them. I don’t think I have any left. 🙁
Thanks for watching.
What gage nail gun are u using?
Made a good job of it, but I’m 99% sure the side shelves will sag. It’s too long of a run even with 36mm mdf..
You forgot linking to benchdogs parallel guides 😉
We wil fix that
@@SkillBuilder no worries, you kept the rail square so they are not totally forgotten.
Why did you choose mdf instead of plywood/underlayment?
How long does a project like this roughly take?
Around 4 days.
What width in the MDF?
25mm thick
The obvious question is how much did it cost , say £250 if it was standard MDF 8x4 sheets for the materials but labour ? Just curious as they say 😂❤
Materials would be much higher than that
What will they think of next....Media Wall ........... oh no its just a wall unit with a TV in it 🤣🤣
DIY in the title then proceeds to show track saws, biscuit jointer etc etc 😂
Great work as ever but shame the customer didn't specify a nicer material. Given that Dan is presumably at the top end of the market I don't know why he would agree to work with a material that is so obviously no good for one's health. Plus at my local timber merchant it's barely any cheaper than hardwood faced ply of the same thickness.
Those doors sounded like they scraped shut?
yes and that is why he pencilled along them and trimmed 2mm off.
I know why your not painting it, all that end grain thats got to be sealed rubbed down and sealed and rubbed down 😂 lovely end job
It’s beautiful but this would be a pain to ever dissemble. With all those nails.
Go to Ikea
@@SkillBuilder I’m gonna buy a festool domino!! 😁
Looks OK, very long winded way of doing it, why not build boxes from melamine for bottom carcasses? Nightmare to paint that on the inside. And a square when screwing hinges? Surely that's for the cameras 😂
Melamine? WTF!
Yes, melamine panels, the thing that 90 percent of kitchen and wardrobe carcasses are made of. Obviously the rest has to be mdf, but not the inside of the units
You have to square the hinges up! Thought everyone knew this 😂
lets hope they're not changing that carpet any time soon 😉
Stanley knife.
@@SkillBuilder 🙂
The softwood lipping looks weird......why not use it to cover the whole mdf edge
Te shelves need more support, after 40 years in the trade I support every 600. Whats going on with the gap on the centre LHS door?
Its easy to pick holes in any work, that is why a lot of very experienced trades people do not post on this platform.
Make money from your trade, not being a "media" star
If you made the cupboards as "boxes" with no fronts but a back you could do all the work in the workshop and then flatpack, the fronts would be square - no need to trim doors, no dust or noise for the client.
Not every Chippy can afford a workshop and if the client wants that design there's nothing the lad's can do you can only offer advice but what the client says usually goes
Retroclick Media
You are right about people not wanting to go on UA-cam. We are lucky to have Dan working with us. He is one of the few who doesn't want us to edit out mistakes when he makes them. Thankfully they are few and far between.
@@tomsmith9048 Well, no.
Just this week I have told a client that the drawing they have sent me of the same sort of thing ( designed by an "interior designer") will not last. There is no point supplying a product that is not fit for purpose.
As professional trades people we have a duty of care to advise the client, if they dont like it just walk.
If you dont it will come back and bite you in the arse...
We all started on the broom, we worked our trade (I ended up up doing 8 years at FE in the 80's, did the CHIB) but we still charge less a day than a lawyer charges an hour.
The client would listed to a barrister but not a chippie, who is wrong?
@@retroclickmedia4422 well yes if a client wants a shelving unit or a media unit of a certain size you can advise a pelmet of some description on the front or underneath the front of the shelf to stop the sagging but if they want a slim line look and say no you can't make them
@@tomsmith9048 Of course you cant make them but if you know there will be problems in the future just walk. When it all goes wrong the will tell their friends etc and it wont be their fault, they will say it was yours
I bet the guy cutting the MDF even with a mask on, I bet his gums were bleeding after ten minutes. Lungs will feel like they are on fire at night.
four foot wide mdf shelves...? They'll need flipping every six months!
Better in metal
Great workmanship but MDF is a nasty product at the best of time.. Quality wood mouldings are my preference.. The MDF dust is not good for health and if it gets wet it swells..
The finished result is a bit 1970s...
Love the build and the workmanship but MDF 🤢
Why is the video so short? not much of a diy guide
The trouble with filming videos in customer's houses is that you can't spend hours explaining things. If the video does well we will spend more time filming and explaining but it is always a balance. Hopefully our audience can follow it.
Beautiful work. Love how you take no chances with the UA-cam audience now and have full PPE for everything 😂
That is Daniel's standard kit, he wears it filming or not
@@SkillBuilder Mdf has certainly knocked 10 years off my life im sure.
Great job Dan!! Are you able to share with us the approximate cost to the customer for this? Would be really interesting to know. Cheers
Thanks Oli.
Not sure of the total cost but approximately 10 sheets of MDF ( 18 mm and 25mm) and a few other timbers..
media wall come on its a mdf tele cabinet.where does the reporter live?
In the lower left hand cupboard
Thing of beauty Dan .. how long mate ? 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Thanks chaps. Think it was around 5M long. 😬.
