You know if I had that nice shop and setup you show I'd pull the delivery trailer inside and build the shed right smack on the trailer itself. Impressive crafts and skills.
good for you finding a market for these as they are surely better than the ridiculously expensive plastic garbage you get at the big box stores but I'd be interested to see your cost breakdown. I built our shed (8' wide x 6' deep x 7' tall) from cedar, including a framed base with plywood floor, double doors and a shingled roof for less than $600 Canadian. It's also framed with 2x4s and all screwed together. Of course I'm not counting my labour but you can hardly buy one of those pre-cut packs for that price.
I've watched 100's of DIY buildings videos and THIS one is most inspiring. The Size and Simplicity make this the most *versatile* and *practical* design that I've ever seen. Marketing wise there's no one that you can't sell this to.
@@janonthemtn Special saws? I don't know a single man, unless they live in an apartment, that doesn't have a circular saw and a miter saw. They aren't special, they're the most basic of tools. You could easily do this with just a circular saw and those are cheap. Even a good miter saw for the average home owner / wood worker is less than $300. And if you're a home owner, that will more than pay for itself. Most people don't need a table saw; I don't even use mine, and you certainly don't need one for this build.
This is excellent, simple, and looks relatively inexpensive. Considering such high demand and so many subscribers (and therefore potential competitors) it is very kind of you to share this.
Many may try... but at the end of the day. Workmanship stands the test of time. Some may make it cheaper; but will probably fall apart a lot sooner too. Nice to see craftsmen at work. Remember, if it looks too easy, it's normally because your watching skill.
Yes, it's been a good so far, I think people are tired of those low quality kit sheds. Funny thing is that I am going to deliver two outdoor benches with this as well :)
This may be one of the best shed builds I've seen on here. U made it look simple and no help in no time. Excellent! 👏 I will subscribe looking forward to seeing more of ur work.
Hey Dieter do you have drawn plans for this? You should set up a way to sell the plans electronically. I’m sure there are a few guys and gals in the US that would buy the plans.
Pretty cool. At this height, I'm willing to bet you could speed up this build even further with the use of a few Gorilla work platforms in lieu of the ladder.
Yea, not seen that on other builds. I'm looking at building a 16ft x 10ft and the videos I see don't put any bracing or noggins in at all. I've had visions of me putting up the sides and then watching the shed collapse to one side like a small scaffold tower with all the bracing in one direction lol (see a brickie do that then climb on and it collapsed 😆) certainly gives more confidence in its strength.
@@dmh151076 depends where you live. When you are in a cold climate with a lot of rains you want your stuff to be more rigid because the soil under it is going to move each winter/spring.
@@ThisTall well you can actually get a cheap circular saw, measuring tape, and drill with bits all for less than 200$. Everything else he has is just extra stuff that makes it easier, but not necessary
They are paying for the hours and hours upon hours he’s worked and increased his skill and knowledge. Same reason graphic designers are so dang expensive. Most people don’t have tools and know how to make what they want. I’m a maker, but there’s still things I’ll buy that I could have made, but sometimes you have to ask yourself...what’s your time worth?! :)
Hi. I'd really like to know how you sealed the bits between the roof rafters in between the bird mouth cuts. You placed a board over the ends but nothing on the bottom of the overhang? I've built a tiny house before and have another project imminently. I wasn't happy with my tiny house solution to this problem and wondered what you do. Thanks for your help.
Look forward to purchasing the metric plan and cutting list if the OP makes them available. Not many nice metric shed plans online that I have come across!
When you put the second piece of shiplap cladding on and it didn't go full length, I thought "why didn't he use a full length? This will be terrible!" then when you offered up the cut piece and I saw that it was tongue and groove. We don't have that in the UK, at least, i've never seen it. It seems to be much more efficient than our flat ends. I'll investigate the idea of routing a tongue and groove maybe in future although suspect it would only work well with thicker cladding boards.
I want to build something for myself. I don't have cutting tools but this is the least of the problem. You have some serious skill i can tell. You make it look easy. How much time took you
If you look at part three, he's taking apart the shed for transport. He probably finished it at the delievery-site:) I choose to believe that he used metalplates or roof shingles:) That is atleast something thats is used a lot i Norway.
I’m guessing because it only takes 2 hours for him to build it, and he sells them for $1500 at a 1200% profit. Seems a little pricey at $1500, but I suppose there’s some rich people out there that’ll pay it.
@@WBBClips I assumed it had something to do with the business side of things, I was just curious what the story was behind it. I know the margins are great on something like this. Did it come when the business was low on cash? Was he able to pump a bunch of these out and save his business/marriage/etc. Like I said, I was just curious about it, hoping it was more than just a click bait title.
He wrote in his description for the first video: "How is this changing my life? It has become one of my most popular products, and they boost my (struggling) business. It's easy to make and has a pretty good margin. It also fits in a van (coming up in part two)."
Nice thing about America is you can use your talents, skills and interests to do what you want. Everyone doesn't do the same thing. That's why we have a lot cool different things. We are free.
First, thank you for sharing your design, methods and work. The diagonal strips for rigidity were excellent. Good job, sir. That said, I know this is "just" a shed, not a structure that will be heated and lived in, but I would recommend anyone using exterior siding boards, like we see used here, put 2 nails at each stud, about a quarter (to a third) of the board width in from the edges. Time warp is not just science fiction, it happens to boards, too. I always follow this 2-nails rule with lap siding like this because any gaps that appear later as the wood ages and relaxes could be places for bugs to enter, and for the "wicked winds of winter" to weave their way inside. Also, it would be nice to see narration or text added to describe the main things like outer dimensions of the completed build, or of the 2x structure. Thanks! Peace and profits to you, sir!
@@logmeindangit It's wrong and it's a waste of time and nails because it has no function (and it increases the risk of cracking). Every house in Norway built with this siding (and that's many) does it this way. It's not my personal opinion, it's the building codes.
The spacing for the studs is 24" on center which would make the shed a 4' X 8' structure and probably 6' high, which could easily be made higher if needed. A simple build for anybody that's ever built nothing more than a dog house, and his video shows how to do it as well as anything I've seen so far.
This is a cool product man! Good stuff this helps your business, in norway right? Here in NL mini structures are always good business, and personally they give me the most fun! Thanks!
I’m not sure why the diagonals are needed, although cutting them in as a nice touch. When you skin it with whatever material, it should solve any racking issues. Also, is that MDF shiplap? Is this going outside?
Nice shed! Sorry if I missed some info, but not sure what you mean by 1200 percent income increase. Also thumbnail says $1500. Did you build it for $1500 your cost or selling for $1500? Not sure I could even build something like that for a reasonable price in my area of the U.S. Then make much of a profit selling it. Lumber and building material costs are through the roof here. Excuse the pun. Anyway, I wish you much success. You are an excellent craftsman.
No, the purpose of nailing it like this is to make sure the board below is tight. A lot of people think that the nails should be hidden but that would result in a very weak siding. I follow the manufacturer's recommendations (and Norwegian building standards). Every house with this type of siding has it nailed like this. The roof had to be finished when mounting it at the customer's place.
And I want someone to cut my steak for me. (Really, wouldn't that be nice? 😎) seriously though, a person wanting that could easily make a list of the boards used in each panel, then go to Excel and start listing them. If you want to guess at lengths, plug those in in another column, and in another column add price from the store for each raw piece. Then, in another column, add any cut notes you might want. I built two covered porches, no experience at it, just didn't know how to explain to a builder exactly what I wanted. So, I decided what size deck/floor I wanted, then the depth, and made a detailed drawing of it in... VISIO! Yeah. It worked great for thst, but was only 2D, so I had to draw each view as a new drawing. But I used supports thst were to code for beams and joists and really rigid roof rafters. Measuring the real dimensions of 1x4 cedar boards for the deck, I made one in Visio, width and lengrh, then created an "array" to make all of them, at the proper spacing. ( laid out on the drawing with a small gap between them ) Doing all that enabled me to make a complete materials list, including screws and other hardware, very clearly. I even laid out the plywood sheets for a pitched roof using Visio. I first made a front view, then used the measuring tool to see how long each side was to the end of the eave, and then figured out 4x8 sheet placement so I knew where the smallest pieces would be. Those I placed along the ridge, which in my case were long strips about 14" wide (long edge at the ridge). I was even able to lay out the steps, including rise, run, stringers, and even how to attach them, using that drawing program. Then it was jist a matter of counting (manually) each piece of each type, and listing it in Excel. That let me do my shopping a LOT more easily than what it seemed like I was facing at first. It took a long time, but I have t porches now that look great, and 18 years later, are durable and should outlive me by many decades. For appearance, I chose an A-frame pitch roof in front that matched the roofline of the house, and put composition roofing on it, like the house had. I had the company who reroofed my house back then leave me enough to do the front porch roof, too, when I got to that project. It took about 2-3 months to ger the porches done after the roofer did the house. In back, I chose a shed roof, and used painted steel roofing, because I wanted rain runoff to go away from the house, and metal for longevity of the roof, since it is mossy back there. Each "covered deck" is 8x16' with over a foot of overhang on the roof eaves. Northwest style, ample eaves, because we get a lot of rain. Not like California. Sorry to go on so long, but it's what I did for a materials and cut list.
@@logmeindangit How did you type all that without getting half way through and wondering, "does anyone have any common sense? It's right there in the video, just look and count....or decide on the dimensions that work for your needs and sketch it up". It's not rocket science. Most of it is elementary math. And all these people who keep asking....the dude sells his plans, not gives them away. It's right there under the video!
building my own shed was one of the most satisfying things i've done so far. working with wood is great.
@@SwankeyMonkey although playing with it from time to time, is also rewarding in itself...

Good job! Could you give us the dimensions of the sheld, the sections of the woods you use and the types and dimensions of fixations?
Looks like it's roughly 4x8 based on the sheet of plywood he used on the roof.
That's something to what I thought, but no, Dieter said 30 sq. ft. In a comment. I don't see it, just relying. '
Great looking sturdy shed! I hope you sell a ton of them 👍👍👍
Please make a video on your shop and tool set!
So what's your cost of building one of these and what are you selling them for?
That's probably 700 to 900 in materials, 1 shed ain't enough to live
I would say 400 in materials and 1600 dollars 1200% profit
The image for the video says she’d for 1500
Nice job man.

Sometimes costs more to make shed
To buy pre shed more less headaches
Really cool project but I am wondering why sometimes you use woodscrews and other times you use nail?
some parts permanently put together with nails and other parts that can be taken apart and put back together with screws for being transported
This looks fantastic! I’m curious how you transported it to it’s final destination?

the way you built your roof, isn't the water going under the metal sheet?
I presume the drip edge will later have a metal roof applied over it.

this video reminds me ofwhen i would play sims and put them to a task but on X3 speed
It’s great. But I don’t understand your roof on it though.

Really enjoyed this, despite the Utd jumper worn by the child!
the price of lumber here in ohio has tripled since 2020
Do you plans available? Or dimensions?
Yes, wondering the same thing
The spacing for the studs is 24" on center which would make the shed a 4' X 8' structure and probably 6' high, which could easily be made higher if needed.
A simple build for anybody that's ever built nothing more than a dog house, and his video shows how to do it as well as anything I've seen so far.

I first made a front view, then used the measuring tool to see how long each side was to the end of the eave, and then figured out 4x8 sheet placement so I knew where the smallest pieces would be. Those I placed along the ridge, which in my case were long strips about 14" wide (long edge at the ridge).
I was even able to lay out the steps, including rise, run, stringers, and even how to attach them, using that drawing program. Then it was jist a matter of counting (manually) each piece of each type, and listing it in Excel. That let me do my shopping a LOT more easily than what it seemed like I was facing at first. It took a long time, but I have t porches now that look great, and 18 years later, are durable and should outlive me by many decades.
For appearance, I chose an A-frame pitch roof in front that matched the roofline of the house, and put composition roofing on it, like the house had. I had the company who reroofed my house back then leave me enough to do the front porch roof, too, when I got to that project. It took about 2-3 months to ger the porches done after the roofer did the house.
In back, I chose a shed roof, and used painted steel roofing, because I wanted rain runoff to go away from the house, and metal for longevity of the roof, since it is mossy back there.
Each "covered deck" is 8x16' with over a foot of overhang on the roof eaves. Northwest style, ample eaves, because we get a lot of rain. Not like California.
Sorry to go on so long, but it's what I did for a materials and cut list.
@@logmeindangit How did you type all that without getting half way through and wondering, "does anyone have any common sense? It's right there in the video, just look and count....or decide on the dimensions that work for your needs and sketch it up". It's not rocket science. Most of it is elementary math. And all these people who keep asking....the dude sells his plans, not gives them away. It's right there under the video!
