Welcome to my channel Cazual Haze.
If you are wondering it’s a nickname from my college days, a lifetime ago now.
I have spent my whole life tinkering I started with Lego then moved onto a bit of woodwork and finally in my twenties I bought a second hand metalworking lathe. It turned out to be broken so it got replaced with a new one a small Hobby mat. That was thirty years in the past, now I have a small workshop with several machines and a forgiving family, thankfully.
I trained in electronics but have always had a passion for metal working. I find tech stuff fascinating and still get a kick out of taking a pile of bits and turning them into something else, hopefully useful!
Over the years I have built too many things to list but this channel is just for fun Please feel free to head over to my website :casualhaze.com where you can download plans etc.
Take care please be safe I am not responsible for your errors.

Can you have TSC without a fancy machine?
A a caution to anyone considering a wooden mount such as this. Whilst visiting a managed IT services prospect they asked if we could look at their cabinet which had been condemned during an inspection by the fire service. Their kit was mounted in an open wooden frame about 39U high. They were advised it was a fire risk and had implications on their business insurance.
Thanks @GenreFilmsUK Thats interesting to know I will check out if I have any problems with this! Thanks for the heads up. Cheers
Looks great and coming on a treat, well done
Thanks Jamie, Thank goodness its nearly done its time to move onto something else. Cheers
Some of my favourite WiFi names are “Everyday I’m Buffering” and “It Hurts When IP”. And now everything is ‘smart’ I get to name all kinds of things, my BBQs are called “Count Smokular” and “Grilliam Steakspear” Always a good idea to plan for potential future needs at this stage. Having hard wired networking is a nice luxury!
Thanks @therestlessworkshop, Brilliant this made us chuckle cheers.
Great job. Your sir are setting up my dream shop..
Thanks for the accolade, it has however taken a lifetime to save enough money to do this! Cheers
I hope you used duct grade CAT 5 for the underground run as normal cable degrades with the moisture.
Thanks Steve No I didn’t we are extending the house and the cable will need to be replaced with a much longer piece as the duct gets extended. I hope to get a year or two max out of it. I had the cat5 cable so saved a bit this has been an expensive project. Cheers
Your Workshop is looking good, getting your service cables for the IT in, mains cables and make space for your air lines. Thanks for the shout out, good to see your fitting 16 amp sockets and switch gear, it's always handy may be not at the moment but in future for any machinery over 2.2 Kw with a high amp start up. I like the workbench sockets it a brilliant idea, you can never have enough sockets in the workshop, more sockets less extension leads no risk of a trip hazard. Your doing a great job, can't wait to see whats next. Hope it's not too windy where you are, stay safe. As always a great video Take care
Thanks Shaun, You were spot on with the 16a I have a load of 16a extension leads from my Tv days so won’t have any problem getting power outside. I hope to get a good welder one day even though I can’t weld for toffee and the 16a will be its supply. Not too windy here in East Anglia we seem to miss all the really bad weather in my part of Norfolk. I hope you survived the storm with no issues. Cheers again.
@@CazualHaze Thanks for your reply, the winds have died off now they were strong but not as bad we had winds around 50-60 mph where I am in Wrexham, but the coast around Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Llandudno and around Anglesey had winds up to 75-85 mph may be higher. have a good weekend catch you soon
lucky I wasn't watching this in 3D at 11;03 😃😃+, I have watched many videos of various pros and armature shed builds, I have also built 3 of my own, but this build video, design and execution, I think was top drawer, well done and thanks for sharing, ps, time when doing your own thing is simply extended enjoyment if done right and love what you do. cant wait to see you replace the roof when its needed LOL
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment Cheers
A nice time capsule, and keep making the videos
Thanks, will do! Cheers
Great progress on your workshop, coming together really well. 😀
Thank you! Cheers!
I went to Los Angeles a few years ago from New Zealand and had to visit a Home Depot too! It was a $50 USD taxi ride! It’s funny cause I bought a large speed square too!
@6Ginge Yep funny I think its almost a right of passage to visit! Where DIYers dreams come true? Cheers
Great job, really educational and interesting to watch. A credit to you sir for doing it by yourself. I think if I’d of let my dad to do most of it on his own I’d be disowned 😂
@MrMarkyg2009 Thanks doing it all myself was hard but very rewarding very little help from the kids. The true hero was my wife who even now keeps me knee deep in Tea! Cheers
@ ha ha 😁 yeah I hear you, a nice cuppa is top tier motivation
Fantastic job .👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent video. I stumbled across your channel by accident and have really enjoyed catching up with your workshop build. Now looking forward to your next update. Regarding the ventilation to the IT cabinet, I would recommend vents at the bottom and side, not the top. More dust will collect with the vent at the top. One question, will you be using the Sonoff to turn machinery on/off. Sonoff are rated at 10amps, so will this mean you’ll be using them to drive a relay to power machinery? Keep up the great channel!
Hi @Wern-Life Thanks for your comment. I hope to control Edward the compressor with Sonoff. I think I can slave a relay unit with the unit in the workshop. If so the relay will drive a contactor to get the current up and deal with the motor spikes. Good call with the vents. Cheers
All tape measures are not accurate. I you have more then one make of tape measure then check them against each other you will find they give different measurements over the same length. That's why you should only use one tape measure. 🙂
Hi @TheJ00ker Totally agree with you I have just for fun compared a couple of my tape measures and didn’t find any significant difference. I do find my steel rules are pretty good and I try to use them if possible but the longest is only 600mm. Cheers
Great work, its coming along nicely. Where possible I prefer your videos without music.
Thanks for the feedback Cheers
Quiet background music is fine but it's really only necessary if there is absolutely no voiceover. Workshop is coming along a treat.
Thanks Matt, Point taken! Yep shop nearly done quite fed up with it now. Cheers
Agree with the Erbauer tools good standard for DIY vs price always my go to. Did think the IT cabinet needed some ventilation. Not sure you have enough sockets by the desk..a couple of screens pc 2 seems an underplay
Thanks Dave, The little NAS server does get warm so you are probably right, I do have a ton of mains quad blocks that was my go to for the pc. those sockets are nearly 8 quid a pop! and I am tighter than a Ferrari head gasket! Cheers
@CazualHaze i know!
I do understand the concerns of others on the prior video with the music, but I think most of it was volume mixing across different shots and overriding your speech. Personally I wanted to mention I didn't mind it, and possibly even enjoyed it, especially when you have a work montage or some silent footage. Anyway, wanted to say thanks for the laser level recommendation last time, picked one up from that same brand and have been using it to great success already! Quite cheap, but also high quality and convenient.
@fallerd, Thanks for the feedback. the couple of bits Cigman have sent me I have to say are good quality, I could have done with the level when I started the workshop would have saved hours getting it level! Cheers
Your workshop is really coming on and looking great. I love to see your ideas and solutions. This week was so much better without the music! See you next time.
Thanks Mike, I get the music thing its difficult I come from a broadcast background where music is on everything, admittedly more subtly than me! Cheers
Great video as usual, I really enjoyed it. I don't mind music in videos as long as it's not too loud and I can still hear what you are saying.
Awesome, thank you!
It's looking good and turning out to be the dream workshop. Like the all around box trunking I like the idea of lighting panel and plenty of double and single sockets, don't be shy on the amount of sockets you need. If you are thinking of a 16 amp circuit and socket, you be fine with 2.5mm T+E cable as it's rated up to 5Kw and a 16 amp circuit is rated up to 3.68 Kw. Also the workbench top sockets, reminds me of the science lab in school a good idea and easy reach. Your doing a great job in the workshop, can't wait for the next part. As always a great video catch you soon take care
Thanks Shaun, I wasn't quite sure I could get away with 2.5mm cable sounds like a 16A is on the cards! Thanks for the encouragement its good to know people enjoy the videos. Cheers
I am loving seeing your workshop develop, a little tip, however many socket outlets you think you need; double it. 🙂 As far as music goes my own preference is keep it minimal, I like to see ideas, construction, and progress not listen to music. Thoroughly enjoy your channel though and I have workshop envy. 🙂 Thank you.
Thanks for the tips! Cheers Steve.
Excellent catchup video. Personally, I prefer less music, in the videos.
Cool, thanks Cheers John
love a cool white bulb
I like them warm it feels more like a traditional old incandescent. Cheers
nice job dave now planning my smaller bench
Good to hear. Cheers Dave
Gorgeous, just gorgeous, well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
looking good, progress being made
Cheers mate!
Great build video, I'm planning on doing something very similar. What size is the footprint?
Hi its approximately 8 x 6M from memory. Cheers
Would be interested in your lighting panels, couldn’t see in your video where they came from
Hi Terry, I am quite impressed with them I got them from :- www.lampshoponline.com/bright-source-40w-6000k-600x600-led-panel-driver-inc-daylight-multipack.html?mh_matchtype=&mh_keyword=&mh_adgroupid=&mh_network=x&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAvvO7BhC-ARIsAGFyToW17YMYRX7g9Ye5WdP9DrOcTfypynQ-OZrIkrtLy2053Y9wgiA4essaAtrzEALw_wcB Cheers
You are a nice discover for me. I love the way you build and I think I'm learning a lot with your "style". Get a hug from Spain. Saludos.
Welcome aboard! from lovely Spain!
Just saw this video. Looks really good. Not sure if youv'e seen the video i did on building mine. I took a different approach & used insulated load bearing 100mm fridge panels. Don't regret doing it that way as it did not take long to erect. Although it does not have the beauty of what you have built. Stunning. Steve.
Thanks Steve, I was a bit hemmed in by building regulations. I wanted to use insulated SIP panels but the cheap ones didn’t have a load bearing certification, the good ones were too expensive. There’s a lot of timber in this because of the regulations. I came to the view that I was only going to do this once so swallowed the cost. I’ll check out your build, cheers
Listening through headphones, IMO the background music needed to be a bit more "in the background". Great content though, I've watched a few of yours now and have sub'd.
Thanks for the tip! And welcome aboard. Cheers
Superb video just sent your channel to my dad and brother 👍 we have our own DIY WhatsApp group for all the challenges we overcome at our homes :) working my way through your other videos now!
Awesome thank you!
Really impressed by all your work, especially without help!
Cheers appreciated
Very well done, as you done most of it by yourself. Could you give an idea of cost? Thank you
Hi @A10WUK The cost is similar to a small family car! Can’t be more specific some stuff was supplied mates rates and I did all the design and calculations myself. Cheers
How much is a small family car? Why can't you just say how much it cost in pounds? That would help a lot Thanks
Hi Jules, I haven't said what the total cost was because some material's were mates rates favours called in and given, advice sought for free etc. But the crux is I have not yet finished it and have not got a total as I have not kept all the details etc. My gut feeling is a small family hatch new is going to be in the ball park. I hope that helps. Cheers
Need you come build me one i like it i need a bigger one like that i have a 11ft by 12ft at moment but want it bigger
Hi Joshua, Going to be tricky I am not finished yet on this shop. Then I have a garage to build and a house extension that’ll take me until I am at fully retired age. It’s looking tough but if you build one yourself good luck. My advice would be to make it small enough to not need building control! That was my mistake. Cheers
Why does building stuff look easy haha. Nice work
Been working on this for over a year and it’s still not finished! Cheers
Great video, I've not long ago completed my garden room gym build, yet I still find myself on TH-cam enjoying watching everyone else's projects Great stuff
Awesome, thank you! Cheers
Very informative. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers
Wow, great workshop. female diyer here, finally moving into my new house and it comes with a garage so looking to convert it in the workshop. The good thing is, the previous owners wired up electricity, has lights so needs a clean up. I think I will also put OSB boards on the walls, it will just make drilling into wood easy than brick. But great workshop, very jealous of the space you have. Mine is going to be compact. I am still deciding if I should get a track saw or a table saw because of space but with your shop, envious of the tools you can put in.
Hi @mumihp Great to have you aboard there are not enough women in this space! Good luck with your project. Good choice with OSB I think it has quite a rustic look. I left it bear in my summerhouse just for its look. It’s taken a lifetime to get enough capital scrapped together to build my shop. Even so it’s cost more than I had hoped. But it should be a one time project I hope! The two most dangerous tools I own are a chainsaw and my table saw! The table saw caught an edge once and threw a piece of wood back at me splitting my thumb to the bone. It’s alright now but the table saw is a bit of kit that I use very very carefully. My home made track saw on the other hand is a lot safer but very slow and less accurate. Good luck with your project and cheers for your comment.
Love this video. Being a carpenter myself, it's a joy to watch how people over come lone working. I have to make little jigs to help me. Nice to see a tidy site as well 🎉
Thanks 👍. Great to hear from a professional. Cheers
So glad to hear you say “outlets” rather than ‘plug sockets’ which so many ignorant people do these days.
Thanks for the comment, it’s odd that my background is in broadcast engineering and we always called them outlets. I guess it’s just stuck with me! Cheers
❤❤VIDEO GREAT THANKS YOU 😊
Glad you enjoyed it Cheers
Did the regs not require any roof insulation?
Yep insulation is needed. There is a layer of fibre in the loft. Cheers
Very nice. I'd love to do the same. I didn't notice you putting lintels over the windows. Was that not needed for the roof trusses to bear on?
Hi Ben, Yep the building inspector made me add some hefty timbers in front of the windows braced to the floor. The windows were up cycled units and were too tall. So there was not space for the beams above. I think I made reference in the workshop window video. Cheers
Am a 67 yr ya old bloke & am still with good old made in England imperial 🏴..a haven't got a clue with this metric malarkey 😂.. great videos by the way..plus Erbauer does a great biscuit jointer which is now on sale f 60 quid..👍
Thanks Fred, I’ve used both imperial and metric both have their merits but I do find metric is easier and fits into the SI ecosystem perfectly. Cheers
Am just being a auld fart..but scrap the music 😂
I’ve had a few people say the same thing. The point is duly noted. Cheers
Well done.. excellent build mate.. little tip ... invest ya self in a tool belt..😂 👍
Thanks for the tip Cheers
Super video. Many thanks for inviting us on the journey, progress and end result, which may I add is amazing. Stay safe and enjoy.
Thank you! Will do! Cheers
Huge tip i can offer you. I've been building timber frame house in the UK for 20+ years and the easiest way by far is to build the walls/stud work in 1200mm x whatever hight you want so once you have the (for arguments sake let's say) 1200mm x 2400mm frames built on a bench then put your sheet of Osb on top, pull the frame around to square it up to the osb and nail in place and repeat obviously some frames are going to be different sizes for corners/windows/doors etc but you get the idea no matter how small or big just make sure you square the frame to the square edge of the board. Doing this way makes sure all panels are square and it's so much easier to put together by yourself literally put your soul plate down and then you just but the panels up together, clamp and screw and so on. Whatever the case bloody good job you done there mate.
Hi @lone-wolf That’s great advice it never occurred to me to do that! Those frames were bloody heavy, cheered for the advice I hope to be building a new garage soon. Not sure if it’s going to be block or timber frame as yet but if it’s timber this sounds the best method. Cheers
