Marvellous. I love watching this guy, he never gets stressed and takes everything in his stride. Great wood shed.
And here I spent all that time taking that "construction" class at one of the local vocational schools. Just needed to watch this video. OK so, that school was closed and sold off long before the internet came along, so maybe that was the best teaching situation at the time. Whatever. Sorry I couldn't help hold up the end of that fascia board.
I always appreciate the amount of work, with a little forethought, that one man can accomplish. Thank you.
Tremendous, love watching your work. So (apparently) calm & methodical.
I’m doing something almost precisely the same except for one big difference. The progress you made in one day will take me a month.
I own a deck and shed building company. I started watching this thinking I would see all kinds of mistakes and inefficiencies, since you do so many other things well, and this is my specialty.
I will say I was pleasantly surprised to see some very solid techniques and craftsmanship. If you talk to my carpenters, they will tell you that I don't give compliments lightly, so bravo.
I have a job for you when you are ready to give up the whole farm/youtuber thing. ;-)
20:37 Instead of cutting this strip of roof panel off, you could have just overlapped the pieces on the roof by the same distance. No cutting, you would just have double layer over a part of the roof.
That assumes that when you match up the ribs, it will come to the exact right length.
I owned my own business building storage buildings of all shapes and sizes. The issue you discussed at the start is probably the most common one which is: there is NO "normal..build friendly..build site"...ever! Can't tell you how many times I was asked: "now is it possible" to build it on this 45 degree..or put it where this 50 yr old tree..or this 20 ton boulder is...or...grrrr...I once had to build a deck, to span a stream, so I could then build on....SMH / BTW, well done; it looks great...future electric door opener? ;)
Indeed!
This is freaking identical situation to: "there is NO normal... horse" So while taking summer horseback riding class into woods or way across the meadows I hear my coach saying:
"Yeah, weell.. you know what we (WE?) gonna do? You take the huge fuc..ed-up jade.. and cover the back of the kids' group. Meanwhile, I will take the boss's new jumper and take over the front."
Then she adds with those "pleeease" in her eyes: "You know I can't give this jade to a kid. The "Stupid" is well over 180cm high... You know how it's gonna end... When (not IF!) she went crazy you will fall and you gonna be fine, but when a kid falls off her back, something can happen to one..." Cheers :)
So much nonsense on youtube, it's refreshing to see some good and useful content for a change.
This is TV quality video.
You know I am a little irritated. You point it at me and ask for help. I got up get my boots on and came back to ask you where I'm supposed to go. And you were done what the heck. But you did a great job
😂🤣
Came across you playing with your Johnson. Next you were scalding chickens. Now you have boiled up a crooked shed. I would lend a hand but my chair is pretty comfy (nice and cool too). I just dont get how people can talk to themselves AND record it. If you keep this up you are liable to have 500K subs by the end of the year. Love your edits and your sense of humor. Keep up the good work! What could go wrong?
Complains about the heat, everyone else in the midwest, "Ah its warming up, looks like its going to be mid thirty today".
This is just like working with my dad on projects when he was 50ish, I got the full explanation for the engineering side of every project, whether I needed it or not. And now I'm able to perform these types of projects. My dad is 92 now and he still engineers all my projects. :) Thank you
You cut air vent holes on the bottom of the side panels but you applied the metal panels all the way to the concrete pad. Isn't that blocking off too much of your venting?
Did that block off your question mark (?) key too?
the wall you just put up behind you looks like the sheets are crooked at the bottom from left large open gap to the right narrow small gap.. wondering if it's the angle of the camera? hmmm John 🤔 @6:11 @FarmCraft101
I just couldn't get my hand through the screen to hold the fascia...I love watching quality construction, who knows, maybe someday I'll be able to do that too :)
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
You should put a screening on the bottom to keep out any critters from getting into the shed like snakes and mice or anything else around. !
“Survived the fire..” is kind of a subjective thing 😜

Well done John ! That's the thing about Ranch life...the work NEVER ends ! even when you take a break and just relax for a few days YOU Know there are things you should be doing....
it's a never ending battle but one I prefer to city life. it's never the same thing twice... and you get so many toys to play with....Yah...it is usually so many toys to fix...but they do help so much ! it's knowing you can repair anything on the place and that kind of reassurance is priceless.... As you get older you slow down.... you've noticed it already.... just wait it gets much worse ! but if your lucky you can continue doing this till your 90..... find a pain medication that actually works for you..... I never could ! ....and I had to give it all up. and I miss it dearly..... what I miss the most is the cows and critters and although I have re acquired the tools... I still miss going out for a walk with no one else around.... I'm 70 now and really starting to slow down alot over the past 5 years it has hit me hard.... i just have no energy to do anything.... Don't do me ! hang in there and keep the place no matter how hard it gets !
just make sure you have enough insurance on your house to where if it burns down you can rebuild.... that's where I failed. Rebuilding a house in todays world cost alot more than it did in the 1950's about quadruple...in fact.... and most of that is just Permits ! and then code.
Keep up the videos ! and pet big momma for me ! LOL
Yeah, I know what you mean about "It just doesn't end." Been fixing fence for my dad (83 year old rancher), to keep a bunch of 500lb calves in. Seems like I've fixed the same sections of fence over and over. Finally got him to get an electric fence controller and some insulators... That worked - mostly.
3:38 Never apologize for an effective hack.
If it's ugly but works it's "field expedient". :)
Is there anything you can't do very cool
I don't get it...why you build using wood in the US? Is it illegal to build houses with concrete for example that will last for generations? Mainly in areas with high humidity
Nice little shed. I quit framing in wood a long time ago--too much time trying to find good (acceptable) lumber. Steel is always straight and you would be amazed at how quick you get used to using it. The studs are cut with a razor knife (yep!) and tin snips. Use your portaband on the bigger stuff. All screwed together with lathing screws. Added bonus is, it won't burn. :-D Full disclosure: I'm an electrician not a carpenter so, yeah.
Problem is the metal studs are tinfoil. There's literally no strength there whatsoever. Yeah if you're facing both sides it ties it together and it's fine, but if you're trying to do literally anything else with them, you're building a deathtrap.
Really nice watching a Summer time project in the middle of Winter! Come on Spring. lol
Mark G, Actually “story” boards are traditionally site-specific “guides” used by the Trades during construction of man-made structures. This “stick” was commonly used for vertical alignments in and around the exterior and interior of buildings, that all the various crews could refer to during the build. For instance, the Framers could mark locations around the exterior for window and door sill locations, trim, siding, etc. Masons could follow around a structure with joint alignments, offsets, lintel locations, etc. Finish carpenters could set chair rails, cabinets, so forth and so on. . . The word “story” is a reference to elevations of a building (i.e. 1st story, 2nd story,)-the idea was to work from a common reference point set early on in the project, that would be a datum point for workers on that site. This was adopted back when modern conveniences like bubble levels and tape measures didn’t exist. The “Storey Pole” was carefully looked after during the job, and was often left with the owner or occupant of the building when the job was completed. A “pattern” comes from the dressmaker/tailor/millinery profession, and simply indicates a object or thing from which duplicate copies can be made-like say, clothing fabric (color patterns from weaving looms) or cut up pieces to be sewn together for garments. But, “patterns” can also be created for duplication of other objects, as in this case, rafter tail and birds mouth cuts for instance.
You forgot to let them know they need to Crown their two by tens one before they nail them together
Yeah, I left a few things out to prevent boring people to death. I crowned all the lumber for the wall studs and rafters. Good call.
Wow, I really learned a lot on that one. Thanks for all the bits of information thrown in there.
Watching you build is so relaxing, and interesting!
I realize my comments are a little late since this is a 3 year old project. (Hey, I jus found your channel, and I am catching up! really like it)
You could put a metal cable inside that connects the rafters to the door so the the door can't over-open.
Also, you can see little stop you added to the front fascia caused the side of the building to deflect when the door hits it gently. With that huge door, I can't imagine how much damage it could do if the wind really caught the door.
I was trying to lift the board up for you but my finger wasnt strong enough I guess. I apologize for being a bad worker. You can dock my pay
i love how easy the plans are in *WoodBlueprints. Com* to understand and the step-by-step videos they have. Makes getting material really easy
You truly are a jack of all trades. I'm constantly amazed at how much you know. You should have been a teacher. The kids of today could sure use your knowledge.
Very professional. Nice design. Each time I would think he's gonna need.... and you would be doing it.
Great looking shed. The boiler is a good idea too. Even having to haul wood it pays for itself time and time again. 😁😁😎😎
You forgot to show crowning your rafters
You seemed to be a Nice man... doing alot of Farming Hard work... filming things we like to see and learn from it 💯👍🏻... But give yourself Credit... reply some comments...if you do that along with people more comments and thumps you gets, then more and more Subscriber 👌🏻
Thats will pay you back cuz you doing a great working..just needs a Communication 😁...
Thanks alot for Sharing 👍🏻...be safe
UA-cam must really want me to see this build. This is the fourth time I've watched it.
The sheet on the roof could be thrown over one edge and not cut.
Nooo!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣You forgot the most important part!!! Tarpaper between the foot of you wall and the concrete slap to prevent moisture from being absorbed by the wood -- even though it's treated wood, you still want to do this! It's kind of like all those seals, you know?
I can't reach! So yeah, I am gonna just sit here... Sorry! I would have helped otherwise. Like back when dad still lived... only thing missing from this picture is a home bake and a cup of coffee, you know?
What we did the one time we needed to build on a not level surface in Tech Theater was take a 2 by 8, cut them on the correct angle with the table saw, and then lay them on the unlevel surface and toss flats on top for walls.
Edit: I didn’t realize how big your slope was, our method would require either double the amount of 2 by 8s or some serious lumber cuts (that you probably would need to make yourself). Then again, you have a wood shed thing that you used to make the skids, so that still might work.
I love carpentry work, so yeah...I'd hold the other end of that board for ya...gladly....if YOU'D get your birds, in the background, to agree to chirp in a lower pitch. OUCH! :)
In Sweden you would've been arrested for all the building code violations you made. But since this isn't Sweden but a lesser developed country I won't hold it against you. BUT the biggest mistake was the latch on the door. A small child may be picking up some firewood when a gust of wind pushes the door closed. The child will either suffocate or starve to death inside the shed. And what if a fire breaks out in the front when the child is in the back? You should've put a safety backdoor on the back wall. Fix it by friday next week or I'll call OSHA to make a surprise inspection. Remember I do this because I care about you and your family's safety.
3:45 that's not lame at all. It's brilliant! Best sun protection there is: be in the shade!
When you sit your first rafter on, do the plumb cut on the front top edge but keep that little off cut. The reson being is, it's the same shape as the birds mouth that you need to cut for the rafter to sot flat on the wall plates. Obviously that off cut will be too long so shorten it. Just a handy thing to have if not working off a template rafter.
Every video on UA-cam, i always see people work out and braw on thf birdsmouth when they already have that shape from the plumb cut.
Did you cut the 2x4s for the walls on a slant to make up for the slope of the ground? If not, how did they remain at 90 degree angles to catch the plywood?
Any suggestions for a concrete pad that is neither level or flat? We can't tell what the previous own had in this spot but he intended it to drain as there is shower drain in the middle of the pad. Of course it ISN"T in the lowest part of the pad. haha! I'm wanting to put a little kids art/lego studio with some storage for bikes that's about 7x10 that can be on a sled to potentially move if/when we move.
I started watching back when you built the pond... just curious, two years later is it still functioning well? Has it attracted animal life or waterfowl?
Yep. Geese, fish, some river otters. Doing well.
Otters? Cool! Never seen them in the wild.
"What the heck is that... that would be shade"... No, sir... that would be smart. In a million years on earth, I would have never thought about that.
You asked for help but by the time I get there you built an extra extension got a new job and drump truck fix both if you want my help you could have waited .... Happy to help
oh sure , I just need my passport, and a ticket for the airplane, and the most difficult thing .... my wife permission to let me travel a few thousand miles ^^'
Really a puzzle why anyone would build a shed with the roof coming lower than you are tall. Secondly, the double top plate purpose is for load bearing when joists or rafters do not line up with the studs. Tying the corners together is just an extra benefit.
It's fun going back to your earlier videos. How many Subs did you have 4 years ago?
So disappointed when you said "end of day one " ! I was hoping to convince my husband he could knock this up in less than half an hour !!
3:38 I don't think I trust this shed. The construction looks a bit _shady_ I think. _Wood_ that be correct? 🤦♂
Splendidly to see Woodglut have new plans which helped me save some money and energy for this construction.
Check out Engels Coach Shop on UA-cam. He’s right up your alley.
If pay the flight ticket, I’ll come help ya 😊
Edit: for your next project.
Your videos have too many commercials!
Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.
I learn some new things about Stick technology today. Thanks
I'm about to build a lean-to on my shed for extra storage space wish me luck lol
Nice work. I'm curious why you nailed everything but then screwed the outter two rafters at 19:10. Is there a particular reason for that?
I actually used screws on all the areas that would be exposed to the weather. The nails would rust and deteriorate. The screws will last much longer.
@@FarmCraft101 Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks.
Read the other posts about holding the end of a board and you got it done before thy had their boots on - sorry but I just watched then. You did a great job though - - and door is hangen real nice. Oh ya, boiler needs painting. : < )
John, just a suggestion to possibly attaching a chain to the shed top and to the door opening top edge in case the wind grabs the door.
5:49 that is super distressing, even though I know you intentionally built it with an angle, to see the angle in your sheathing 😂
Well I would have come and helped but I don’t know we’re you live. 😢
Apparently I didn’t get to the video end, good on using a rod to secure when opened.
You really ought to do it in millimetres; so much easier than them fractions !
Great job. Wish I had more know how on things like this.
Sorry for not helping out, I lost my time machine in a poker bet
Very nice project superior Craftsman Turned out amazing nice stock pile of wood at the end and the gate door is cool John @FarmCraft101
😂 LMFAO!!! I had to go back and watch that “pathetic” part again!!! Been watching for a couple months now man, outstanding!!!
Always like your funny comments.🤣
That is the perfect wood shed!!!Great job. You have an Engineering mind!!!😆😆👍👍👍👍👍👍
🤣Space aged design , dude! it works !!
What with the air vents that got covered by the metal on the walls?
Hi can you tell me the title of the music playing at the end please
Den
Yes, I would like to know too!!
I like the cable and turnbuckle to eradicate the door sag!
Why bother with a door? A 3 sided shed is sufficient.
Wow Excellent Video !!! Very well shot, narrated, edited… and as said below - You could put Vo-Tech schools out of Business.. Nicely Done !!!!
22:55 or you could just throw a piece of firewood down to hold it.
Nailer shooting towards oneself!!!!
Take the old metal gate off the front door. Unnecessary weight. Use just wood framing with the metal roofing. Use the wire turn buckle as well. That old metal gate incorporated into front door isn't doing any good. Nice Wood Shed‼️👍👍🔨 Vinny 🇺🇸
ha ha. Applause at 14:20...lol. Great video.
You make me laugh, you are as bad as Musti 1.
Shou sugi ban gate approved.
Jim/England. Been watching lots of your videos since l come across them! Great stuff would love to have a working farm and so many projects. Stay safe you and all your family. Merry Xmas and a happy New year.
Nice job it's beautiful
what state is this in shorts in January i need to move there
This guy is actually Walter White retired
I really enjoy your videos. I used to be able to do that kind of stuff. Worked on new construction and concrete. Loved the hard work and satisfaction each day we did different things until it was finally complete. Thank you buddy.
Conrad Escue in Tennessee.
I have been watching your recent videos - yes, really enjoy then. However, these two videos are such a good teaching set showing that more than entertainment, I learn so much. OK, I wont build a shed but if I were to build a shed, this set of videos would be the reference guide.
you have done some carpentry work with someone that knows what they are doing!!! you do not learn this on a farm!! you are multi talented!!enjoy your channel!!
Nice, hooked on your latest videos, and now benjing on your older ones. Thank you for your efforts.
i dont know what you call OSB in America but that 'ply' you use as a spacer for the 10x2 isnt ply.
Thinking a taller chimney would give you a better draft.
If this was arranged slightly differently, you could have a chute feeding the boiler directly from the woodpile, saves lifting and carrying a big log around.
What are the dimensions of this wood shed?
A post at the edge of the slab to stop the gate from swinging past a right angle would be an improvement over your stop at the hinge corner. You could put a catch for your latch to stop an uncontrolled in-swing. There is a great deal of sail area on that door. Not a good as a post but for out swing a cable on a reel link a door leash or air hose reel would stop over opening. Doesn't help for an uncontrolled in-swing perhaps a cable attached to latch on door to screw eye on payment (creating a trip hazard or tire killer) at open position. I really enjoy your podcasts and think they are top notch in every way. The constant tasks to perform are a gift so stay channeled.
I might be building one of these myself, except I’m think of going longer and thinner. Probably along the back of my garage! Those boilers are super nice.
Do you think the door stop will be strong enough, if the door gets slammed open? Either the stop gives way or the hinges break...
Keeps his hand to close to the plate when nailing studs. Should be 8 inches at least back from plate when holding stud. First time he runs a nail through his hand he will learn. Nice job otherwise.
I would have done stem walls, and put gravel in it 4" below f.f. so you have a slab floor.
