lol Tom says dig a hole I was looking at that thinking man that half a day with all the rock .. then I see the bucket .. and remember I'm the poor bastard without heavy machinery haha
Off to a great start - The total station really sets up these projects for success, and that dry mix concrete system saves a lot of estimating & waste :)
Always fun to see you. Just a note to anyone who doesn't build on the regular. Any company that pre shapes and pre holes, always double check it. Some times pieces come out a bit wonky
Fascinating process to watch Tom! Id love to know more about the cones you used to encase the steel bolts. I presume the idea is that the square steel washer is there for the concrete to form around and prevent the bolts from being pulled up, but not sure what role the cones carry out. Is that to prevent the alkali in the concrete from corroding the steel of the bolt? If so, isnt the washer at risk of that fate? Is the plan to go back later and fill the cones in with concrete or some other material? Just strikes me as a bit odd to leave all that bolt length waving around in the breeze, but perhaps thats to make it easier to fit the steel plate onto the bolts? Anyway, thanks for another fascinating vid which i didnt know i wanted to watch. 😂
The cones allow the bolts to be wiggled slightly so the steel plate goes on easily, even if something's a mm or two out. Later they will fill the cones in with a sand/cement mix.
I'd really like to see you build a kit shed from a company like "Omega steel buildings" or even better "Murray steel buildings" seme to be a common cold rolled system and I'd love to see the whole process from start to finish. Maybe the next shed could be a cold rolled kit. 🤔
@Tomlamb980 that's a fair point but maybe if it was just a machine store or a GP shed, veg boxes if you grow veg even. Just if the opportunity was there to see how a lighter weight kit shed works over a hot rolled one. I know these kits can be upto 6 meters to the top of the walls and 20 meters wide. There's no restriction on length though so maybe it would never be high or wide enough for anything you'd need anyway. Just a thought.
Excellent video Tom. Going to be doing one of my own this year, make sure you go into plenty of detail in the steelwork video about all the angles and mathematics👍🏻
Interesting stuff Tom, love the precision and planning going into this. That concrete service is so good, can't imagine having to do that by hand with a mixer! Cheers
Get colin to use the small green box container. cut the doors off and open the other sides. And use that to lift his Delorean into the ground. Thus the roof can be used to conceal the hole
Tom, Tom, Tom! Stop dude! I'm not even ten seconds in! Ask a stupid question mate, 😂 ALWAYS! There can never be enough sheds! Frankly the bigger the better! 💪
Hi tom great work you are doing built and bricked around a few sheds my self could you have joined the two existing sheds together with putting the two new standsions in just a thought
Nice one Tom - great video. Look forward to seeing the next stage! Hoping to put a barn up myself in the summer and videos like this give help give me the confidence to do the ground work myself.
I love a good project. Out of interest did you do a bit of work in construction/ building or is it just something you have picked up over the years Tom? Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.
Great content once again Tom! Even if you own your own land do you still need planning permission to build your grain stores / extend them along with any other farm building?
Question - whats the deal with the total station? Is it simple ebough to use? Do you rent it and crack on or do you need to rent the fella in the blue overalls as well?
You mention getting the bolt box in line with the upright of the existing shed. How does the total station know where it is relative to all the existing stuff?
Tom, did you not move that laser target the wrong way? I once went to erect some steel for a big civil engineering firm in Kent, where they had set their own bolts. Looked lovely with all the bolts sticking up, and all of them in the wrong orientation. Whoops.
With the sheds so close together, how do you stop junk and pests building up in the gap? Or the plan is for the two sheds to share a wall even if they are not the same structure?
What do the cones do? Why don't you want concrete touching the bolts? Corrosion? Do they allow you to move the bolts slightly for the holes in the plates?
Yep, the cones allow the bolts to wiggle enough to line up with the holes in the plate, even if something's a mm or two off. Later Tom will fill the cones with a sand/cement mix.
Nice one Tom! Great idea for the unused space and as the wet weather is a pain, brilliant a drier can transplant grain all around the sheds without double duty on the JCB. Future plans should be solar panels to charge some of the robot crop workers that will be around soon to help using less fuel and lighter on land. I dream of a day when drones are tending to crops, keeping flying pests away and zapping weeds and bugs. 😅
I'm all for metric, because its so much better for jobs where precision matters, but I also believe that imperial measurements have their place. That beam you measured ad the beginning was 14 inches by 7 inches 😂
Tom Lamb is a very clever man.
I will be using that trick to stop plywood delaminating as the drill pushes through.
lol Tom says dig a hole I was looking at that thinking man that half a day with all the rock .. then I see the bucket .. and remember I'm the poor bastard without heavy machinery haha
Really instresting watching you and the way you show us how you set yourself up for doing the job thanks Tom
Another great video. Look forward to part 2.
Great builder as well as a farmer, Super video, many thanks Tom.

I'd like to know more about the wax cones as well please! Does it allow for some "play" in the holes in the plates the thread rod goes into?

I don’t think cold rolled steel is strong enough when it’s got concrete walls and 100t of corn shoved against it

Absolutely fantastic very clever one day your building a pit the next your building a shed i for one love it keep it up

First like from me! :) Carry on Tom, I live your videos.
Carry On Tom ... Hmm i can see a Movie tittle here :p
Another epic build. Looks like it's going to be a strong one. Thanks Tom....
What are the waxy cones for, I've never seen them before... great video Tom
Watch my next video and you will see
Really good Tom, looking forward to part 2+3
Interesting stuff Tom, love the precision and planning going into this. That concrete service is so good, can't imagine having to do that by hand with a mixer! Cheers
Thanks 👍
Looks great Tom😊
Great content Tom, I will follow with interest, and a little envy... 🙂👍
Maybe you could have a go yourself
@@Tomlamb980 We are building a couple this year, but I will get Tim our barn guy to do the job properly, I know my limits. 😄

Thanks for sharing.
Your channel is brilliant Sir !
How hard did you hit that wall in the first shot 😂, the paint has flung off. Nice dent tho 😜
Tom, Tom, Tom! Stop dude! I'm not even ten seconds in!
Ask a stupid question mate, 😂 ALWAYS! There can never be enough sheds! Frankly the bigger the better! 💪
True,have four
Another project - love it
Hi tom great work you are doing built and bricked around a few sheds my self could you have joined the two existing sheds together with putting the two new standsions in just a thought
Always love a good project!
Sure must be good land to build on guessing it never sinks much. Always amazes me how little steel is in those big span agricultural spec buildings.
Nice one Tom - great video. Look forward to seeing the next stage! Hoping to put a barn up myself in the summer and videos like this give help give me the confidence to do the ground work myself.
Hope it works out it’s easy when you know how
Cool Tom. This is the best thing I've seen in ages
Some grate brits on UA-cam now I’m following 👌
Great video! Even with the technology it would make me so anxious getting it in the right place! Lol. Keep the content coming 👍
Not got past 10 seconds in and already pressed the like button 👍🏻 it'll be another great video(s)!
Tremendous! Amazing insight into how you do this with such accuracy. Great stuff.
Brilliant video Tom, good job you have the kit and lazer levels made it all so much easier. I'd like you to build a farmhouse after this project . 😂
I did that 3 years ago before I made UA-cam videos
@@Tomlamb980 Well you'll have to go build another house so you can video the process for us, won't you 😜🙃?
A great video Tom
Cracking work and well explained. Thanks.
Nice one thanks. Im guessing the ding in the door is jcb related.
Possibly yes
@@Tomlamb980 we've all done it. Anyone that drives a jcb indoors! I recognised the carriage ding!
I love a good project. Out of interest did you do a bit of work in construction/ building or is it just something you have picked up over the years Tom? Looking forward to parts 2 and 3.
I do bits in construction
cracking video and that laser level makes job easy .
Great content once again Tom!
Even if you own your own land do you still need planning permission to build your grain stores / extend them along with any other farm building?
Yes permission is needed
What are the cardboard cones on the rods for
Il reveal in the next video
Question - whats the deal with the total station? Is it simple ebough to use? Do you rent it and crack on or do you need to rent the fella in the blue overalls as well?
You need a good idear how to use one are there any UA-cam videos on how to use them
Do you have to worry about planning permission etc on a farm?
Yes everything needs permission
@@Tomlamb980 permitted development for sheds on a farm though isn't it? one per year ?
Awesome I really enjoyed the last shed build
You mention getting the bolt box in line with the upright of the existing shed. How does the total station know where it is relative to all the existing stuff?
Magic??🤣
Measure it all out and put the measurements into a laptop then it works off that
What happens to the cones, do the melt as the concrete heats up during curing
They get filled later on
Those templates turned out great, killer idea!
The legend that is Chris ABC Concrete making another cameo appearance :)
Tom, did you not move that laser target the wrong way? I once went to erect some steel for a big civil engineering firm in Kent, where they had set their own bolts. Looked lovely with all the bolts sticking up, and all of them in the wrong orientation. Whoops.
Yer I did I wasn’t thinking but have fixed it
love a big build
Do you rent or own the Leica laser station thing?
You can rent them
Are you a coded welder and what about the design and build regs for AG sheds and insurance requirements for those. Very impressive skills tbf
No but got an nvq l3 in welding
@Tomlamb980 no doubting your skills just wondered about the paperwork needed these days?
Hello Tom, wondering why you don't want the bay extension to join to the existing building
It’s going to but not join to the building next door
great job, as always
Can you do a video on how he sets the total station up
Same, I was wondering how you get the references to the existing steels, interesting stuff.
Are the cones filled with something?
With the sheds so close together, how do you stop junk and pests building up in the gap? Or the plan is for the two sheds to share a wall even if they are not the same structure?
You will see in the next video
@10:25 you say about moving the receiver down 30mm didn't you need to move it up 30mm to make foundation 30mm lower?
Yes I made a mistake but sorted it
@@Tomlamb980 good job so easily done
Are the cones in place to avoid any kind of corrosion from the concrete? I've never seen that before.
Will reveal in the next video

Well said
@dfross87 OK thank you, makes sense. Never seen em before
That was interesting, but difficult to understand the whole process, how much you can go off with these cones?
You will see in one of the next videos
Any plans for ducting for cables in the concrete pad i.e for future power, ethernet for connected train drivers etc?
Don’t think I need any
@@Tomlamb980 Should read grain dryers
love that you’re a farmer and rock the etnies trainers. did you ever use to scateboard, or bmx?
BMX
More sheds = joy !
I’m trying my best to get a shed of the year plack
Okay I'm a surveyor and I NEED that belt attachment for the controller at 14:30!
Will that whole space have a new concrete floor poured? If so what depth will you go to and what will that mean, in terms of volume?
In time yes il explained in another video
What are the cones for on the bolt boxes?
So you can move the Stantion when the steel work is up
To create some wiggle room, as I understand it.
The cavities get filled with concrete later on,
when everything is exactly in the right place.
Hi Tom - do you need to get planning permission and building regs for this ?
Only planning get ur under permissive developments so its easy
Well done Tom. What happened to you lip? Did your misses upper cut you lol❤
Be good if you did a small video on the total station set up
I think it would be a long video
Nice one Tom! Great idea for the unused space and as the wet weather is a pain, brilliant a drier can transplant grain all around the sheds without double duty on the JCB.

I’ve got solar panels but there a bit useless
@@Tomlamb980 Probably need a clean 🧼 would be good with some batteries 🪫 possibly a grant could help
We don’t really use enough power
@@Tomlamb980 I was just thinking of the power used for the drier
Sorry ive been away had to travel for a bit! LETS GET THAT SHED BUILT!!! LETS GO TOM!!!
Where do you get the cones from?
I did say in the video
That container for sale Tom? It might be just want I need.
It’s gone
I HAVE SHED ENVY TOM, I understand the cones Tom but why Wax & not cardboard?
What’s the difference ?
@@Tomlamb980 I just thought that cardboard would be cheaper and wondered if there was a advantage to wax.
How much for the container MR T?
It’s gone
@14:28 - what's that he's kneeling on? Looks fantastic for knee protection!
A bit of foam out a cushion
@@Tomlamb980 thanks for the explanation.
How do you know the volume of concrete to put in the bases?
You just fill them up until there up to level
@@Tomlamb980 yeah sorry - I mean how big the hole should be i.e. to stop the shed taking off in a high wind?
Meter by meter
Fantastic Tom! BTW are you at Makers Central?
Will be yes
Nice one, hope to see you there
@@Tomlamb980
Very cool vid 👍🏻
Why not do it off the other existing shed just curious
Because I’m doing it off the other shed
Did you keep the Cat locked up 🤣🤣
It’s probably sunk into the foundations hopefully
No cat prints?
