Nice & clean! If u want to better ur sound, look into getting a Procesdior and power amp! U won’t look back! 1:00 1:00 😊
@@willgatlin8229 thank you. I will certainly look into it.
Music is very distracting. Don’t need it. Would rather listen to the crafter as he makes the board.
@@vitosparace9854 this has been one of my lessons over the years
That's amazing work, congrats and enjoy the fun times grilling.
@@Goztepe-uf6si thank you
Very nice. Great job with the pocket screws.
@@brandong8978 thank you
Simple practical Attractive shed with good video explanation. Nice job
@@stevepalmer1575 thank you
Excellent job. Thank you!
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words 👍
Thank you for a great video and instruction. Came out great I’ll trying this on daughters room this weekend
@@reinaldoromero25 excellent, glad to hear that.
What do you mean when you say “level the mold”? Just make sure the mold is sitting level when you pour the concrete?
@@benturner7224 yup, that's exactly what I meant.
🥳
Do you have plans to share? Loved this video
@@MatthewGerken2028 nothing specific other than the few clips I had at the beginning of the video. The plans of course will also change based on the specific components you are using. But it's certainly not hard, you can do it!!!!
Who's gonna tell him there's an easier way to take the grey out of wood rather than sanding the entire thing lmao. We've all been there though bro.
@@warrenlowe676 please do share
Is there any reason why you didn't use metal tracks? is it okay to use teflon tape in gas fittings where you are working at? Tx
Metal tracks...they didn't have the proper gauge track at my local HD. So just went with using the normal studs throughout. Regarding the tape, what I used is the proper tape designed for gas connections, not the normal Teflon.
What’s the design program that you use?
@@amynguyentran3723 sketch up
Dam that looks great! When using Sketch-up, does it recommend the dimensions for the different cabinets and cut outs?
@@neiljackson8313 thank you. SketchUp does not. But you can get that from the respective data sheets and then putting that into sketch up will help you with the overall design.
Absolutely amazing man! Are you in Chicago? Would love something like this in my yard!
@JoseHernandez-uv6wf thank you very much. You can certainly do this.
Great video! What software did you use to create the stud layout?
@@arjunbhattacharya3623 SketchUp desktop version
Unsure how long it took to build the frame but i will be using BBQ Tubes for the frame. They pieces fit like Legos and speeds up the build precess. I built my BBQ Kitchen with them and it was very easy to assemble
@@AZWildk4t excellent
looks awesome. did you vent the area where gas is connected?
@@thomaschurch8383 not specifically. However there is a decent size hike where the gas comes out to the grill. There is also about a one inch gap all around the structure on the bottom.
What would you charge for something like this
@@TheDrunkHamster I have no idea. I certainly don't do this professionally (as you can probably tell from the video).
@MakingHomeBetter your work was great man what are you talking about. Say you charged $50hr, plus materials, if someone asked you to do that what would you have charged? Knowing what you know now. I have a job coming up doing what you did.
@@TheDrunkHamster I would say around 1500-2000.
@@MakingHomeBetter that's what I was leaning twoards
No way that bosh handled that dept of drilling
@@805zo it did for one. But it was way too much effort. Switched to the appropriate tool after.
Nice
@@SPECIALTRADER1 thank you
Super nice
@@dommed2978 thank you
FYI The back ground music is to high when trying to listen to what you are saying !!!!!!!
@@RickyD1968 absolutely. This was one of the first videos I made and this was one of the main takeaways for future ones.
@@MakingHomeBetter No worries loved the chess board !!! Good Job !!!
Great video!
@@johnmeasner238 thank you.
Cool thanks. This was easy to do
Excellent. Makes a big difference when traveling!!!
Very nice. What are the dimensions of the Pergola?
It's roughly a 12'x14'
@@MakingHomeBetter Thank you. Very nicely done man. I'm building mine using your video, wish me luck.
@@robertsims9791 excellent, best of luck. It's not a hard project,you will be fine.
I have a lot of work to do my pergola. I certainly will be spraying because I have a lot of spindles to sand and stain. Great job! Thanks!
@@escalade8759 that is a great option. Good luck
👍
Do you sell the plans for people to use and modify to their specs?
@@jamiekluesner5024 unfortunately not...just publishing projects I have done in the hope that it helps others. I do have the SketchUp model shown in the video, maybe grab a screen grab of that ?
Hello, Are you not using an air mixer? Please explain so that everyone knows your reasons.
@@billyturangan3085 to be perfectly honest, I am not sure (or remember). The kit that I purchased had all the necessary parts to get the fire pit functional.
@@MakingHomeBetter Ok, thanks for y'r respon
I'm new here, just want to say thanks for the video. I installed a pergola about two months ago and was not sure what the next step was.
You are welcome and glad to hear it was helpful.
Looks amazing. Any concerns with such a heavy countertop resting on the metal studs? That's my concern. My local stores only offer 25 gauge metal studs and I worry about the weight of a concrete countertop resting on top.
No concerns on this build. The studs put together in that configuration is very strong. If you are concerned, possible add more vertical studs?
I finished my own island using many of the tips from this video. Thank you!
@pikapp552 excellent. Congratulations
Hands down the best video on youtube to go through the AX4200 (unboxing, setup, pros/cons, comparison) - Having recently moving my office into a backyard shed, I needed to gather more information on options. This video helped me significantly. You have made my decision making so much easier! Thank you!
Looks awesome. Very high quality job. I'm not sure about the lumber being dumped like that but you played your part brilliant
Thank you very much!!!
If something goes wrong with this grill, it can be removed and another added, correct?
@@namelesscommneter7003 yup... Size can't be changed but the grill can
What did you use to come up with your drawing?
@@bryanholland3198 SketchUp
Is the post 10 ft or 12 ft height?
I purchased 12 footers...the full height of the post is a bit higher than 11.
very nice thank you so much. i got it
@@izanagionline you are welcome
what did you put around the gas grill to prevent water from seeping in?
@@kathydallemolle276 I coated the cement board with that blue waterproof membrane. There is a stainless steel trim that came with the grill that is placed there. It's tight but probably not water tight.
Fire bro!! Great job!! Can you us the griddle insert on that Weber model?
@@DP-lx1jn the Weber Griddle does not fit I believe. I however bought a "Little Griddle" model from Amazon and it works almost as great.
Good job, which brad nailer should i buy to build mine? 16 or 18 gauge?
For a structure like this, I would use a screw or a framing nailer. Not a brad nailer.
@@MakingHomeBetter Apologies for the typo, I meant to ask which gauge framing nailer did you use - 16 or 18?
@@tentinelli6940 got it. I actually don't have a framing nailer, so went with all screws.
@@MakingHomeBetter no nails at all, overal screws then?
@@tentinelli6940 yup, all screws
Thank you! This is a great video.
Thank you
It looks fantastic - great job!
Thank you
How many hours did this take? Thanks!
Couple of weekends for me.
How many hours did this take? Thanks!
This took a bit longer as the overall structure is large. I would say maybe 5-10 days for me.
Amazing! Would you use 2x4 if you were to build it away from the house?
I think building it with 2x4 would be just fine and much easier. However, I would do it with metal studs, even if it was a little further from the house to be on the safe side.
@@MakingHomeBetter got it. Thanks and good job. Next I ll have to finish watching your crown molding LED video for my daughter a room.
Awesome build brother.... absolutely love it❤
Thank you.
Or tin snips....lol
El video se vé muy mal , muy oscuro .
I like the design. I think it may be strong enough to park a truck on but nothing wrong with that, I am planning to hang hammock chairs from mine so strength is good.
Thank you. Good luck on your build.
This is the only DIY video I’ve ever seen where the guy is explaining how 2 other guys are doing the work 😂.
Thank you for watching
