I'm from the UK and dont really get to see women grafting like this...not sure what its like in America but there isnt many women in manual work like this in the UK so its absolutely amazing to see! I'm a Carpenter/Joiner by trade and now assess and Lecture, iv tried just about everything timber wise other than wood turning. I would absolutely love a lesson from Ashley on wood turning, although I teach people myself I think I'd make a good student 😄 Nice work Ashley! Keep it up...love your work! 👍
Hi Ashley. I have built many floors and never installed blocking. Once the subfloor is fastened to the joists, the joists don't move. I also use glue and screws to fasten the subfloor to the joists. Best regards.
Hi Ashley, I was talking with an old friend I worked with at Rockler managing the store in Denver. After I left Meagan became assistant manager before moving to North Carolina and was your housemate and got you interested in woodworking. Your TH-cam work is great and I admire you skill as a turner. Thanks for sharing.
It doesn't take an expert to know that you should have some support in the middle of a long span or that a concrete pier will sink into the dirt over time.
I had to giggle. When Ashley said this is her first chance to use her new nail gun. Then she puts it down. Happens to the rest of us all the time. Can't wait to try my new....... Oh crap! I forgot I have to........ Great video. You get to do things so much differently down in Charleston than up here in Canada where we have to contend with frost lines
Very nice looking structure and, I am sure it is stout but, did you all discuss anchoring it? Wind shear and uplift can be problematic. Maybe I'm paranoid but when I built my humble little shed, I put 180 lbs of concrete in each 4' deep post hole.
The pow pow pow, turn and smile at 15:16 made me laugh. The sweet, quiet southern girl who handles a chainsaw like a champ and turns a tree stump that weighs twice what she does with a smile and not a single fear.
Hello by Ashley she is a great teacher and inspire she has inspired thousands of people and thousands of projects I watched her Channel religiously and she has inspired me to start my own it's going to take a lot of work because I am a woodworker and not much good on the computer but I'm sure I will figure it out and get better love seeing you Ashley
Liked it. In my part of the country there would be critters living under that shed! I bet yours too. But everyone needs a home. Thanks. In the immortal words of Peter Sellers, “I like to watch”.
Thank you Ashley for your videos. When retire in a year and a half I'm coming down to Charleston and taking one of your courses, and, of course, eat my way though the city. I love staying at Le Vendu. Be well little sister.
5:00 - as my father said to me when I was about 12 years old, "Hit it, Alice!" 5:12 - there ya go... good job. 12:47 - Not sure I like nailing toward yourself. 15:15 - if my wife could handle power tools like Ashley, I might never leave the house. We'd be in projects 24/7.
Have now watched all your videos fir the last couple of days and think it is about time you upload some more :D Nice build. Wish it was that easy to build anything here where we have to take Frost into account.
With the height off the ground, I'm surprised you didn't put anything under the floor platform joists before nailing in the flooring ply. So much easier to take care of the ground cover or whatever now then be crawling underneath later on.
As numerous people worldwide have pointed out, you have a dubious foundation for somebody building in a hurricane zone. The next Hurricane Hugo may well decide you put the shed in the wrong place and kindly move it over to where it thinks it belongs. Since you are already this far along, why not at least treat it as a mobile home in your area, and put in ground anchors and strapping?
Hello Ashley! Really enjoyed the 1st vlog of the shed build. Great job with video production. Looking forward to the rest of the vlogs in this series. Have a great week!
Hello Ashley: love how a sweet little lady can work on some awesome size wood project.. I guess it true don’t mess with TNT. lol things that are small can do big things. On wood lathe tooling you use 40/40 tooling . Can you use Carbon inserts that have a 40/40 grind to them? I use to be a CNC operator and know about all the different shape that carbon insert com in. I getting into wood lathe wood on a ShopSmith from my neighbor. Can wait to see more shed building Part 2
Watching you nail the blocks between the floor joists tells me you've never had a nail go through the boards and into your leg...yet. Having framed houses for a living at one point in my life, I can tell you you don't want a nail in your shin!
Those piers are going to sink into the dirt over time. If digging a shallow hole and filling with rock would be considered "permanent", then I'd rather pay for the permits and such now than to re-level the structure over and over.
You need to notch out the 4 x 4 posts for the 2x6 to relax on ...the way you did it that will not” pass code...at least in my area check your building Codes
Should have uses concrete forms for poured piers and hurricane straps I did that for my barn I live in Florida had 100 mph wind for over six hours didn't lose a board
Kswa S like a lot of places, sheds cannot be permanent structures. It’s weird. And if she had a block or concrete foundation it would require permits inspections etc.
It looks like you have a great start. How big will it be? I assume it will be a two story. I agree with Bud about the music. The education part is good. The entertainment not so.
Just a lot of things wrong , over span joist , when that rim joist is bolted to the 4x4 like that your losing 2” of the joist with from where the bolts are located . 2x8 is turning into a 2x6 . Need to add a block to the base under the joist to gain its full strength.
Oh my goodness. This video has it all, a beautiful host, saws, nails, and the "Man from God's Country" (Go Wisconsin !!!) Ashley -- just a simple, totally random, worthless, observation; you are gawd awful with a hammer. Please be careful and do not hit your thumb, you are a beautifully talented turner. (oh and you are kinda cute and sassy, I love that in a Pilot) (Top Gun movie plagiarism) This is a wonderfully fun channel because of your humor and your truly God given talent to turn a chunk of wood into a beautiful turning that almost rivals the beauty of the one holding the cutter.
Following grain direction with plywood is not that important, the layers are all perpendicular to each other anyways. Just lay it in the direction that spans the largest number of joists. Staggering the joints is important though.
lol i was really surprised to hear that guy saying that grain direction in plywood actually gives it rigidity. that comment combined with the fact that there was no real site prep, no ground cover, no anchoring, no center floor supports....i could go on...really confirmed that Ashley might have hired the wrong guy for the job. Sorry to be a negative nancy but it's true.
Didn't see any center floor support, I hope your not relying just on the rim supports, without the center supports you will not only have a bouncy floor but problems with the whole structure floor to roof down the road. Good luck
Hi dear Ashley, Could I ask you to do favor & prepare online classes & tutorials for foreign students who don't have the chance to come to USA?? Thanks a million
It won't matter...it isn't anchored to the ground anyway. It can withstand a lot of wind but not sure how much. Especially when it gets filled with wood.
You said the platform was 12x20 and the shed 12x12? I’m not sure what ur saying here? So I’m guessing there will be like an 8’ lean to? I’m wondering too if that’s enough room? 12x12 by the time you get your lathes in there and stock?
You know, it sure would be nice if that back ground music wasn't blaring so loud while George was talking and giving tips (around 10:35 and on). It made it real difficult to hear what he was saying, especially for a 70 yr old retired guy like myself, who is planning to build his own large shed in the next couple of months. Other than that, the vid is great.
Was there even permits for this construction? Or maybe in this neighborhood, it isn't required? I guess the ground doesn't move much there as the concrete blocks were just sitting on top of the ground. Also, bolting to the side of the upright is not load path to ground. I could go on and on but it really boils down to George wishing he was 30 years younger to better impress the young, beautiful woman.
If I had built my workshop (2 years ago) the same way this is being built, it would now have 2 halves of a torn apart building, half of it sunken into the ground a foot or 2...
So this is just sitting there? No foundation, no anckors? Isn't it just going to fly away if the wing gets caught in the wrong way? Can't imagine that that's a good idea.
My computer doesn't always notify me when my battery level is low, so I don't know to turn on the power strip where the charged is plugged in. At 15:42 when the screen went black, I thought my battery had died and I was about to say a few choice words because my computer takes a while to reboot, and then the video continued. Don't do that! I want to build a shed to use as my woodworking shop, but since we'll hopefully be moving in the next year or so, I think I'll wait. Besides, any sheds build in my area need to It's not something that we can take with us, nor is it something I want to do more than once at my age and physical limitations, so if the house we move to doesn't have a detached building or a large shed, I will build it then.
@@TheWoodHaven They sure do. Braces are temporary and are not bearing much of a load that would snap a screw off so why not use them and make your life easier? Or just shoot the braces with a gun instead of being a goofball and hand driving your bracing....
to each his own, but that floor needs more foundation. Too much span even though you are using 2x8 joist. A building is only as good as the foundation it is sitting on. Would not have cost much more money to make this floor solid as a rock. JS

George Vondriska is a legend in the woodworking community-you both are fine teachers in your respective crafts.
It's so easy to spot a guy from the north when he is in the south during winter time. He's the only one wearing only shorts and T-shirt.
A tip: watch movies on Flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.
Hi Ashley. I have built many floors and never installed blocking. Once the subfloor is fastened to the joists, the joists don't move. I also use glue and screws to fasten the subfloor to the joists. Best regards.
George Stolz
Blocking and keep the Joyce from twisting… Carpentry 101
Always use blocking its good practice to stop joists from buckling as they dry out.
The blocking also works as a bridge and makes the floor stronger by sharing the load from one joist to another.
George, you are a very brave man holding that bord and letting Ashley swing the sledge!
Hi Ashley, I was talking with an old friend I worked with at Rockler managing the store in Denver.

Awesome progress Ashley! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 Looking forward to part 2!
Another northerner here. Love the bird sounds and appearance of warm weather.
Fantastic video!! I didn't teach her how to bounce that nail gun like that! Well done daughter!!!! Can't wait to see the rest of the story!!!

I like what you do every thinks
Is this just floating on those blocks? Is it in any way attached to the ground? You do get high winds there, don't you?
mstreich a lot of places of codes for sheds. Technically you can’t anchor it or make it a “permanent” structure.
@@EMWoodworking Ah, makes sense. Still hope Ashley doesn't end up like in Wizard of Oz with a house, ur, shed, flying around.
Those piers are going to sink into the dirt over time. If digging a shallow hole and filling with rock would be considered "permanent", then I'd rather pay for the permits and such now than to re-level the structure over and over.
the dream team god job you guys

Ashley gets a she shed!!way to go George!
You need to notch out the 4 x 4 posts for the 2x6 to relax on ...the way you did it that will not” pass code...at least in my area check your building Codes
She is gorgeous
George is a trusting sole holding that stake while you hammer away at it. lol
It must be nice not to dig at least 4ft down to install piers to prevent frost heave. You have to in most places here in Canada.
you are pretty good with that sledge, but hoowee, that takes some trust to hold those stakes 🤣🤣
I noticed she was choking up on the handle - gives you more control in a situation like that.
Should have uses concrete forms for poured piers and hurricane straps I did that for my barn I live in Florida had 100 mph wind for over six hours didn't lose a board
Great video.
When is part 2 coming? Great job so far.
Rim joists should always be notched in.
Thomas Brown exactly!
100%
Apparently they are not big on building codes down there if you can just toss a concrete block on dirt and call it a foundation.
Kswa S like a lot of places, sheds cannot be permanent structures. It’s weird. And if she had a block or concrete foundation it would require permits inspections etc.

Yes, you can find my instructional videos on woodwhispererguild.com

Ashley, where were you when I was at The Citadel in 1956? I would have been glad to help you. Lol

Why toenail the blocking when it's staggered giving access to nail through the joist?
Yes, Yes! I was wondering the same thing!
From looking I think the ones that are toe nailed are the double joists. The rest looked to be through nailed.
What George should have had you do is, face nail the ends of the blocking threw the joists it is easier and that is why the blocking is staggered.
@@nh39308 was only on the double joists in center. i don't think they were shooting 6" spikes :)
@jay kallenback Jay if you look at the video at 13:37 you can see that it’s a single joist that April is tie nailing into.

No hurricane straps?
It won't matter...it isn't anchored to the ground anyway. It can withstand a lot of wind but not sure how much. Especially when it gets filled with wood.
No center post under the flooring? That's a lot of spanning for a work shop.

I didnt understand why they didnt apply glue to the duck boards to prevent Squeaks. Nails only wont do the job in the long run.

What’d you say?........
Just sitting on concrete blocks - What ties it to the ground ????
Well done otherwise
Keith james Where I live, you can build a shed on blocks (up to a certain size) without a building permit. Maybe it is a similar situation there.
Gravity :)
RickMakes exactly
The concrete blocks will be pushed in the dirt over the next year or two, have fun fixing that.
@@Rickmakes - Thanks - but No here in Central Queensland Australia - things have to be anchored a bet better
Apparently George will fly out and help any pretty TH-camr build anew shop! DOG!

So much could be different with this build
If there's one thing I've learned through the years, it's to never take advice from a man with two first names who wears his cap backwards.
Harry Moosekunckle you haven’t learned much then

0:17 - A shack.
Good hammer skills, I would have smushed hands!
What will you be putting in this shed ?
Janky post to beam connections...Use 6x and notch for double bands. Also why not use screws for your bracing?
Nails have a much better load rating than screws.
@@TheWoodHaven They sure do. Braces are temporary and are not bearing much of a load that would snap a screw off so why not use them and make your life easier? Or just shoot the braces with a gun instead of being a goofball and hand driving your bracing....

I can tell you're loving that nail gun.
Must be a place where no inspection is required,my two helpers and I can build a16x20 walls sheets and ready for the roof in 15 hours
Damn
to each his own, but that floor needs more foundation. Too much span even though you are using 2x8 joist. A building is only as good as the foundation it is sitting on. Would not have cost much more money to make this floor solid as a rock. JS
Jerry Hubbard totally agree. We regret we did not do so for something we built.
