I always love the videos about using materials up that have been left over. The finished product looks good and with a bit of paint on the tin roof then you would never know it wasn’t all bought new. I also loved the dancing knees in your last shot as you explained your injury. You should make that your signature exit scene.
I'm all for using what you already have instead of throwing things away and buying new, so great job. However , sorry to be all health and safety about this, I think that corrugated metal roof edge (at the height that it is), needs some kind of rubber or plastic beading on it in case someone hits their head against it.
Keith, I chuckled aloud when you scavenged the tin roof panels and concrete blocks from various locations around your property. I'm glad I'm not the only person trying to conceal construction materials in various locations around the yard, including concrete blocks, rebar, and bright orange construction fencing. The log store is beautiful. I love the color. I hope the back continues to heal.
I think that the lumber/firewood rack is amazing and personally, I love the look of the metal roofing. Sorry about the back injury. I sometimes suffer with the same problem and I never can predict what is going to cause my back 'to go out of whack'.
as the sheets are galvanised will need an 'etch' primer to make the paint stick. Now if the surface rusty sheets had been used they could be painted without needing expensive primer as paint will grip the rust roughness.
I like how it is became, nice work. When i do a project and the end grains wood steps at the ground I put waterproof wood glue at this spot and let it sacks the glue the is more resistant to water.
Finished off nicely.Good project for £50.The contrast of the stain and the timber shelves looks good.Tin roof turned out ideal and you can always paint that with a metal shield paint at some point.
Spookily I didn't like the tin roof until you stained the woodstore and then thought it looked great. Just goes to show what you regularly say about everyone's taste. Recent convert but now binge watching all your videos.
I would strongly recommend a shear attachment for your drill over the angle grinder for cutting corrugated steel. One of the best investments I ever made. They are sold as suitable for an impact driver but in my experience that just makes them bounce around too much and it was much more successful in the drill.
Great job. Love the water butt too. Oooh that was a nasty tumble. And a painful outcome. Not nice when you hurt your back. Take it easy and make sure it's fully healed. So easy to knock things out again once you've hurt them once.
You facial expression was gem seeing the roofing felt was inferior. Must say Keith that corrugated tin roof looks very retro and adds class. Leap of faith, hope your backs recovered fully. The finished job looks very nice. Tony
Hi Keith, you could always spray or paint the aluminium to match or contrast the wood stain. Really missed Dylan’s familiar presence when you were sitting on the couch😢 Good job, btw.👏🏼
the roof of my log store is also made from reclaimed corrugated sheet. Most of it, the galv had worn away and it had started rusting. to get a bit longer out of it before i need to spend money, i just gave it a good thick coat of black bituminous paint. it said on the tin that it was ideal for rust proofing tin sheet, and it helps warm up the wood store (mine is rather more enclosed than yours) to dry out the wet wood nice and quickly
I totally agree with you about reusing material left over, you should count yourself lucky regarding your accident.. I fell off my 15 foot shed, onto a wall and into next doors garden.. All the neighbours now call me "the stuntman" 🤣🤣🤣. Glad y'all ok now tho bro.
I use a water butt as well and my first one was roughly the same size as yours. It was nowhere near big enough and we now have a second one in tandem. If you have the room I’d go for one that’s twice as big and use the smaller one on your shed or somewhere. In fact, get one for every down pipe you have. And you still won’t have enough! Great wood shed though. 👍
Hope your back is fine! The reclaimed stuff projects are my favorites, this one is great. You might want however to switch the sponsor segment indoors 😁
Timely video Keith, my Mum has a log store I built from pallets a couple of years ago but it is only half the size it could do with being. I'm in two minds whether to just extend it or build a whole new bigger one, unfortunately I don't have the option of a load of existing wood to use up so it will need to be bought which ever route I choose.
Really like the look of that with the reclaimed tin roof 👍👍👍 By the way, similar idea to your screw on feet from Amazon.. you can get a bag of 10 pvc door stops from toolstation for less than 2 quid… these work well in similar applications.
The tin roof really speaks to the recycled nature of this project and it looks 'right'. I'd proudly leave it there. Can't sympathise enough about the back m8, been there [recurring sciatica] and I know that particular hell!
Turned out nice. A coat of bitumen paint on the roof would make it look nicer I think and make it last longer. You will probably want to plan log store number 2, you will be surprised how quickly a log burner goes through wood.
Thanks for sharing. I built a summer house and used the same "Willow" colour. Years ago, I lived next door to someone who built a variety of sheds, log stores etc., and who used any old scrap of material that he could find, including copious amounts of corrugated steel. Consequently, his back garden wouldn't have looked out of place in Soweto, and I've had an aversion to corrugated steel ever since. In my opinion your log store would look much better with roofing felt or featheredge boards, even though that might cost a few pounds.
By the way, you know you’re of a certain age when you get excited about a water butt. When it rained the other day, I was so happy that my water butt was filled up! I’m already planning on daisy chaining another one to it 😅
Wood posts on slabs was good enough for Walter Segal’s timber frame housing system, in Lewisham and elsewhere. I am sure the wood store in its present form will outlast you, and you will not need to fork out for a concrete base, unless you really want to. Good stuff as usual!
Well it turned out a brilliant means of storage mate and really well built. As far as taking a leap off the top, I've done it myself and thought the same as yourself but I guess it's a kind of chip off the old block Keith as we never learn half the time 😂 great video chap 👍🏼👍🏼
I do like your rack and the tin roof looks great 👍 I am sorry too see you hurt your back sir I know how you feel hope you are feeling better now great video but please take care 🤔👍
I like these types of videos. Creative and resourceful. Great looking log store I like the tin roof. 👌🏻 Careful with your back Keith it's so easy to injure it. I worked for a spinal implant company so it made me very cautious. Take care 👍🏻
Glad to see that you're back on your feet again. Personally, I quite like the look of the roof against the colour that you used to paint the log store. Also, dollars before pounds - I say!! 😂
Regarding your back situation, I’m sure somebody said something about acting your age. The last time someone said that to me I told them I didn’t know how to act my age, I’d never been this old before. 😊 Nice work on the fire wood rack.
Bad back is no joke and can reoccur ..back is a complex bit of kit …be careful in future …great project we are preparing for the winter from hell in a similar manner…good luck guys
I was prepared to see that jumping bit at the end since you mentioned it on the podcast but it looked more risky than I expected. I hope you’ve fully recovered now.
Heard you talk about your back on the podcast that didn’t look a comfortable exit! The log store looks amazing. You may want to get some proper logs to mix in with the off cuts little bits do burn quick in a log burner. Best option I found is Facebook market place for cheap logs
Nice work as usual. I know what you mean about the roof but I'd have thought some paint would make it fit the wood more. Quick question, was there a reason to put the braces on the front not the back? I'd have thought they would impair the access. Or is it that there's enough room anyway? Just a thought, certainly not a criticism. Also, before you fill it up (if it's not too late), I found if better to have a couple of sections, for kindling/ pimps etc. Thanks for sharing, hope your back heals soon - we've all been there and it's never pleasant.
Big sympathy re the back Keith. Recovering myself from the same. Mine though was from sleeping on a too soft mattress on a weekend away. First World problems eh! 😁😁
You are breaking down pallets the hard way. The easy way - and I speak from experience - is to use a brick bolster to open up a joint by a couple of mm, then whizz through through the nails with a recip saw. Bosch blades "for wood with nails" are my favourite. When you dismantle a pallet this way, you will save every single slat. Your forthcoming building work will provide you with lots of pallets, so I hope that this tip is as useful as it is timely.
It's a wood store, why did you need to fill the nail holes?? Just a side note if you had any house wrap/Tyvek that could have gone under the end boards to add weather protection ;) End product looks really good though.
Not gonna lie, that "salvaged" timber is better than what I could find paying top dollar from a box store over here. That there "store" would be a $400 checkout bill.
😁 Another great video Keith. Nice to see you used the felt anyway 😁👍. Love the angle driver... think I need to get myself a new one 😁. Lets just hope Mickey didn't see you jump off the roof badly... your supposed to be teaching him better than that 😂🤣. Look after your back, give it time to fix. Thanks again Keith 😁👍 (PS, strange to see the currency in Norfolk is now $ 🤣.. you need a different font.. just for us Brits 🤣🤣).
What’s with the dollars Keith. Have you no pound sign on your keyboard 😂😂
There was no £ in my chosen font, sadly!
Big audience in America?!
@@RagnBoneBrown no excuses !
@@RagnBoneBrown£ , ? Come on Keith the yanks get everything so let’s not pander to them. We’re English
Bloody hell, $60! Didn’t know you dealt in American currency! You’re a true global phenomenon!

Make some scrap wood flower boxes for in front of the shed just sayin from north of Newcastle

Get some flap disks for your grinder so you can shape corners better (as well as grind welds etc).
I love the wood store, looks great & very functional. What makes it great is the use of reclaimed stuff. Also loving the water butt. Stay safe x

Turned out great, Keith! Take care of the back; I've had back pain and it is miserable. My condolences
I think that the lumber/firewood rack is amazing and personally, I love the look of the metal roofing. Sorry about the back injury. I sometimes suffer with the same problem and I never can predict what is going to cause my back 'to go out of whack'.
Have you considered painting the roofing sheets to improve their appearance? It might make them last longer too as they have already been used.
Yeah I was thinking this, maybe use that red rust protecting thing
as the sheets are galvanised will need an 'etch' primer to make the paint stick. Now if the surface rusty sheets had been used they could be painted without needing expensive primer as paint will grip the rust roughness.
I like how it is became, nice work. When i do a project and the end grains wood steps at the ground I put waterproof wood glue at this spot and let it sacks the glue the is more resistant to water.

Awesome job. Thank you once again.
I actually really like the reclaimed tin roof with the stain. I think it looks very rustic and intentional. Hope your back is feeling better!
Really excellent work, Keith! 😃
It really turned out great!
I hope your back gets better soon!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Very nice.
Those projects that use what I already have are my favorite also.
So sorry you hurt your back, hope you are better now.
Not too shabby at all Keith. I love the size of your garden.
Spookily I didn't like the tin roof until you stained the woodstore and then thought it looked great. Just goes to show what you regularly say about everyone's taste.
Recent convert but now binge watching all your videos.
Haha! Thanks Ian, glad it looks ok to you...! 👍
@@RagnBoneBrown why don't you paint the roof black now? just the top.
I would strongly recommend a shear attachment for your drill over the angle grinder for cutting corrugated steel. One of the best investments I ever made. They are sold as suitable for an impact driver but in my experience that just makes them bounce around too much and it was much more successful in the drill.
Nice fall, but nothing can beat your brother dancing and graceously falling.
🤣👍

Now that looks much better than anticipated from first part. Well done.
That Willow is a lovely colour. Great mini series, great use of materials 👍👍👍
@@Macron87 you really spent the time it took to write this reply? Genuinely do not see the point of comments like this
Hi Keith, you could always spray or paint the aluminium to match or contrast the wood stain. Really missed Dylan’s familiar presence when you were sitting on the couch😢 Good job, btw.👏🏼
Thanks Mandy... We miss Dylan too! Mickie isn't allowed outside unfortunately as he is FIV+ but I am planning to build a catio for him!
@@RagnBoneBrown I look forward to the video Keith!
I think this wood shed looks great after you painted it. When and where did you get Mickie? Can you make an introduction video of him, please?
Nice one Keith! Recycling, upcycling is always satisfying.
So glad you recovered quickly. The storage worked out well. I'm considering ways to create outside storage beside my shop and this gave me some ideas!
Thanks June
Hi Keith, have a think about either re roofing the wood store with your old roofing tiles, or if there are any left from the new roof?
I'd never thought of that.... Hmmm 🤔
Turned out really good, personally I wouldn't change the roof. 👍
Wow, this is a project any men could be proud of!
I like the look of the roof. Nice contrast.
the roof of my log store is also made from reclaimed corrugated sheet.

What an awesome project. We need to build this for our firewood.
I hope your back is feeling much better.

Great wood shed though. 👍
We are all getting a day older, same problems here! Greatings from the Netherlands!!
Nice work. I like the tin roof. Adds character! 👍🏼
the water barrel is a great idea. if you had install it a bit higher you could use a hose too.
Hope your back is fine! The reclaimed stuff projects are my favorites, this one is great. You might want however to switch the sponsor segment indoors 😁
It turned out great Keith, and please watch your back, literally 😂
Timely video Keith, my Mum has a log store I built from pallets a couple of years ago but it is only half the size it could do with being.

Nothing is more permanent than a working temporary solution! Take care of that back, if it twinges again get to a physio pronto!
Nice job Keith, you could convert part of it to a dirty Welly store to keep them out of the house
Really like the look of that with the reclaimed tin roof 👍👍👍

I think the slabs look like a permanent solution.
It might end up that way!
Look's great Keith, hope your back is better be careful these fall's can kick start Arthritis I know I have got it Mate, have a nice day !!!.

might not be necessary but, shouldn't the paver bases be slightly sloped so water can run off them too?
Brilliant !!! Love seeing you do these type of videos. Also, in your outro, you look like you gotta take a tinkle with all the leg bouncing
Love the videos, the rack & the idea of using scraps. Thank-you.
Just for curiosity, how were the shelves in the firewood rack spaced?

Paint the roof. That’ll look proper smart 👍
Loved the build and it looks great mate 👍
Nice work 👍
Loved the video! I am undertaking my own log store project and taking a lot of inspiration from this! Where did you get your wood stain from?
To be honest I watch the videos because of your voice. Greetings from black forest

A can of spray paint will sort the roof out. Are you planning any Solar Panel whilst you are having your new roof installed? 😎
I've been suffering some back pain lately, but I didn't do anything to bring it on. Other than getting older and having 50lbs excess weight.
Thank you for teaching me how to relax "like this" like ....that
Not gonna lie, that "salvaged" timber is better than what I could find paying top dollar from a box store over here. That there "store" would be a $400 checkout bill.
Maybe you can use the old roof tiles instead.
The roofing looks like Stuarts metal shed 🙂
I can't see in description link for that paint.
How many quarts of wood will this hold?
