Temporary workshop and making a steel beam template (Renovation Part 19)

- In this video I'm making a wooden template for a cranked steel beam. Also my workshop is back! Welcome to Workshop v3.0! This is just temporary until the garage is built but it gives me somewhere to work away from the main house.
Here’s the full 1920’s semi renovation playlist:

I really enjoy watching these videos. I also enjoy the videos on TH-cam Build and repair and restore
Getting there Andy , Take care Mate and Stay Safe !!!.
Cheers! 👍
Is it weird that I got excited for you, getting the shop sorted out? It's a dream thing, having a dedicated shop AND having it organized.
Thank you bud! Makes life so much easier, although I'm a bit limited on the length of stuff I can cut. 😁
@@GosforthHandyman Make that window a flip up one! LOL
so nice to see the lovely evolution of the house. you're almost there. can't wait to see the rest
It's getting there! Framing the bathroom today!
I like the skilful use of the plywood to switch off the bench saw. Really coming along now.
Ha, well practiced. 😁
First time here as for the steel beam because its a old house with corners everywhere you might find it way easier to go through the bathroom window as long as it opens up wide enough. Congrats on the work you've got done within the house it's looking pretty good so far plus you know it's going to last the rest of your life not like the newbuilds you see around now, they're only built to last the life of a mortgage if you're lucky!!!
I love your response. Many newbuilds have problems within 5 years if not sooner.
@@lawannarobinson9900 you don't need to tell me. Within 6 months of moving into ours the whole staircase came away from the wall!!! Bloody nightmare getting the company back to sort it!!
They managed to make it in situ, so all good. 👍😁
Great wood stove! Looks amazing with it's large window.
It's a great little stove. Packs out some heat!! 👍
Great stuff.👍 You could easily lose that old kitchen floor rubble into your new garden path.😉👍
I did consider that but I haven't got time for landscaping at the mo so it's in the skip. 😁
Liked the wood boxing over the bay window under the plaster. My 1998 build has thin metal sheet (possibly box of some kind) covering thermaliite blocks under the plaster above every window making it a nightmare to hang blinds or curtains. Yours will be a dream the way you’ve done it. More envy for me 😉
Cheers! It needed levelled up anyway for the plasterer so figured I'd fully line it in ply. 😁
Always great to have a little shop ,love mine. Really enjoying this series of videos Andy .
Cheers! Makes such a difference!
Hi yaa. Great too see your current projects and getting the most out of the space in a small workshop. Just found your brilliant Podcast Measuring Up and listened up to #22 from 2 year ago. Loving your insights with Peter, very informative and entertaining while driving my posh supermarket artic around London. Looking forward to attending Maker Central 3 when it next gets the go ahead.
Thanks for sharing your amazing restoration process 👍🙏
No worries - getting there!
Happy days, Andy! Great to see you back in the workshop again. The world feels a little bit more normal now 😀
Cheers Eddy! Normality in the Mac household from the 21st, no matter what. 👍😎
You are very thorough. I admire your work ethics, great tips too.....
Cheers bud!
Good to see the old familiar backdrop, Andy. Things are coming along apace in the house. Great to see.🙌🏼👏🏼
Cheers! Yes, a bit more normality! 👍😁
Great video. Liking the new workshop/studio. Great idea about the steel template too
Cheers! Steels in and done 😁
so pleased to see the workshop back well done andy m8
Cheers! Me too! 👍
Andy, this is just the best video. So many memories in that. Peters squares and mitre station made me smile. Still have use mine I copied from your original video. The makers central sign still looking bob on.
Thank you! I can't wait to make my 'final' workshop, but that probably won't be until mid next year. 👍
Hi Andy, what amazing progress! Long may it continue. Best wishes as you soldier on.
Thank you! Small steps!
Looking good, enjoying following the story...
Cheers - getting there!
Nice to see the workshop back up and running Andy 👍👍
Cheers! Makes such a difference! 👍
Excellent. Great plastering. Looking forward to seeing the suspended floor video as I've just finished one.
Yes, they've done a lovely job on the plastering. Hope to have the floor joist vid next. 👍
Lovely video Andy! You are very motivating. A beautiful looking *temporary* workshop. My non-temporary workshop looks way worse than that :P
Thank you! Great having a little shop back! 😁
Now that you got a workshop again, I'm looking forward to the next test Tuesday. 😀lol
I know! I hope my laptop still works! Haven't turned it on in over a year. 😁😬
@@GosforthHandyman well no time like the present to test out, maybe for a test Tuesday. 🤔lol
“I should be wearing a mask” is your new catch phrase whenever you’re in the loft 😀 Really enjoying the progress on this, it’s a therapeutic watch, probably because you’re such a tidy worker.
Great to see you back in a workshop..the big window is great reminds me of Neil McKinley's workshop on here
Yes! I loved it when there was no window and it was just open. 😁
You could do with the window opening to accommodate long lengths!
Brilliant work and thanks for sharing this with us take care
No worries and thank you!
@@GosforthHandyman You’re welcome. Hope you and family are doing well.
Another really interesting video, Andy. Three years ago I told a friend that I wanted to upgrade my workshop (double garage) but was wondering if I could justify it to myself and he said: “You’re a long time looking at the lid of your coffin.” “Thanks for that Matt!” Like yourself, it is so satisfying to have everything in place. Stay safe and keep up the good work 🌞
Thank you! Yes, I hate not being able to find stuff. Everything has its place! 👍
I always looking forward to a new MacLellan creation !
Ha thank you! 😁
Nice little workshop. Especially like the utlet spacing.
There's no such thing as too many outlets.
Defo. Never too many! 😁👍
Hello Andy , really enjoyed this vid. Im still playing catch up with your channel. The workshop looks brilliant even as a temporary one.
Great progress. Congrats. 👍
Cheers Rod! 👍
Andy, if Mrs. Mac boots you out I will gladly take you in. You will have to move to Vermont but I promise I will feed you well. Think about it.
🤣 Mrs Mac keeps me on my toes. 👍😁
Awesome Vlog Andy and great in-depth showing on the work so far, hope all goes well with the Steel and you have some extra hands for the fitting. Keep up the good work Buddy & Stay Safe
Cheers bud! Steel all sorted! Another job off the list. 👍
Hope you have airflow through the dining room chimney to stop damp!
It's capped. 👍
@@GosforthHandyman That's a relief 🙂
My studio is currently a dumping ground until the rest of the house is finished. Yours is more practical. It might be nice to show on a plan what bits have been done/to be done to remind us all.
Defo, on my 'to-do' list. Still working through a crazy editing backlog. 😁
Looks like you are winning Andy, looking good. Can't believe you still have the Dewalt DW745 "Flappy Paddle" I sent you. (I have sold about 60 so far) When you get a minute in 2029 you ought to fit it to your saw and you would not have to use a 6ft piece of ply to stop your saw...🤣.. Anyway see you again on "D&J Projects" TH-cam channel sometime.
I've decided it's going on display 😂. On D&J Projects?? 🤔
Nice music during the timelapse
Today's choons...
Closed Eyes (Instrumental Version) - Thyra
Waiting down the Line (Instrumental Version) - Wildflowers
Love ur videos
Thank you!
Great video Andy, thanks
Thank you! 👍
the tablesaw outfeed conundrum is one reason an old-timer I know put a small hatch/window in the back wall of his tiny workshop so he could run long stock. :) In my own workshop, the saw location is also cramped, and complicated by having a path from an overhead door that needs to be kept clear, and a steel post holding up a mezzanine. The outfeed points to the back wall where there are shelves for lumber storage, and clearly demarked zone that must be kept clear to be able to split an 8x4 sheet of plywood, which just* clears the post for the mezzanine, and i have *just* up to 8 feet to the left of the blade, if the plywood slides along the bench for the miter saw. :)
Yes, it was much easier when the window wasn't boarded up and I could just run long pieces straight through the window opening. 😁
@@GosforthHandyman Piano-hinge on the top of the window for the future? :)
Fridge to keep your “bait” in 😂 wonder how many of your viewers who don’t live in northern England knew what you meant .
A spot of fishing at the end of the garden?
Fishing for comments!
Ha ha, it's subliminal Geordie lessons. 😁
Beers I reckon ;-)
Is that different from click bait? 😁
Sorry if I missed you saying what your "temporary" workshop will become... just being nosey 😃 loving the workshop and envious... what wi the room become?
Sorry should have waited till I watch all the video... a sound room... of course 😀
A lot of money in that workshop - all those tools ! I expect you'll be making it as secure as Fort Knox though !
The same thought was going through my mind.
The expensive stuff, like the bandsaw and the planer, are almost impossible to steal. Most of my tools are falling to bits. But yes, it's secure. 👍😁
Hi Andy, are you not going to have a workshop at all then? How will you continue with your work? I'd hate to not have my workshop. Cheers Chris
Andy
Temp fix for saw extraction use a pop bottle cut both ends off then warm it up to shrink it on to the port on the saw and the extractor hose 👍👍👍
I'll remember that ... or forget knowing me. In any case, a great tip.
Darren, Thats a great tip. Thank you👍.
Great tip! I've found my adapter now. Unearthed yet another box! 😁
@@GosforthHandyman
It’s also handy for smaller tools that have different size dust ports too Andy 👍👍
With that being a bathroom, is it worth replacing the whole ceiling with a more water vapour friendly material? Something which doesn’t need painting and maintaining etc? Just thinking as it’s lathe and plaster and sone of the ceiling is now down anyway. Loving the videos as always. 👍
Yeah, whole lath & plaster ceiling is now down. It will be freshly boarded. 👍
Instead of blocking up your window completely, you could put a sheet of perspex across it, this would protect your expensive window but still allow you to see out of your workshop...
Might do! Don't want to get too settled in there though. 😁
That ceiling must be completely down by now. If I know anything about lath and plaster ceilings with experience it's once you start cutting it back you soon end up ripping the lot out. I tried to save mine when a builder took out the studs from a partition wall I stripped back to open up and damaged it. Wasn't long before I decided to pull it down, cross batten and board a fresh.
Yeah, bathroom ceiling is gone. There wasn't much left of it. 😁
Great video Andy @petermillard won't be happy his sticker was hanging off👍🤣🍺
I know - it keeps peeling off for some reason! I need to glue it down. You'll see it was stuck on earlier shots! 👍😁
I'm sat here watching you make a template when I should be drawing a steel stair in 3D CAD lol
Ha ha! Sort your stair! Get on with it! 👍😁
@@GosforthHandyman now sorted and issued for fabrication
2:15 can i ask what those jigs behind your bench grinder are for? the ones with the cup hooks and 2 screws.
They're just little paint stand-offs. So they sit under stuff that I'm painting (screws pointing up) 👍
@@GosforthHandyman ah, cheers.
you should try cutting templates similar shape to yours, by six times, to be cut out of 8"x6" H iron beams, so i could install three dormers in the old primary school i converted to live in, a bit stressful although most of my hair had gone by that stage😂
I don't envy that task! Finding someone to make these was hard enough. 😁
That Dewalt table saw dust adaptor is a pain in the arse! It obviously needs to be easy to remove but surely Dewalt could’ve designed a spring clip or something for quick release. It’s far too easy to pull out.
Looks great! Any chance you could post a link to the LED panel lights you've used?
He did a video about those lights, with links in the description (The amazon one seems broken, but the ebay one works) th-cam.com/video/Mwf9t4NPovY/w-d-xo.html
I'm not on the Amazon thing at the mo but just search for LED ceiling panels and they should come up. 👍
I bet you thought of putting a flap in the shop window boarding 😁
I genuinely considered having hinged shutters. 😁
Stick the old sink on the side of the workshop and run some cold water to it. Nothing worse than taking dirty hands etc into the house. House is coming along great buddy.
You'll have to do a Ged Joiner and have a hole in your window so you can cut the long leagths of wood on your table saw. 😄😄😄
I know! It was great when it wasn't boarded up. I could cut any length I liked! 😁
As usual, awesome work. I love the cosh in the worshop. What do you use that for ?
Ha yes I've had that for a long time! I just use it as a little mallet. 👍
Andy, what was the tool at 2:16 that looks like a wooden framing square? BTW, you have an incredible power of organization.
It's a clamping guide made by Peter Millard. If you google "Peter Millard Square Enough" you'll find them on his Etsy store and some videos showing how he makes them.
Yes it's Peter Millard's squares! He's doing a booming trade by the sounds of it! 👍😎
Why don’t you make the window hinged whilst using it so you can pass bigger stuff through the window whilst using the shed as a shop
The window opening could have become the start of the out feed / beer table outside the new temporary workshop.
Ha, not a bad idea 😁
Great video again Andy. I’m so jealous by your breadth of skills. Just wondering what you put in the fireplace at the side of the log burner? Fire retardant board of some sort?
Yeah, they used fireboard around the opening 👍
Isn't there a big thing about mortgage companies not lending out when people have done that foam insulation in the loft?
I thought the same, must have been a cash purchase?
How deep was your footings?? Sorry for all the questions
Hi Andy, at what point do you intend to move your family in? When it's all complete, or just when certain rooms are done?
I'm buying my 1st house in Forest Hall at the moment and it needs every room doing, but I think I'm going to move in whilst the work is ongoing (it's only me, no Mrs or kids, so easier to live in a building site).
Sorry, I just got to the end of the video when you mentioned moving your family in soon.
How on earth are you getting that Steel in and up the stairs?! Video please!
It was do-able (just!) with the template, but the lads ended up making it in the room, which made life considerably easier! So wasn't too bad. 👍
NOOICE!!!
👍👍
you could use a sheet of plexiglass to protect that big window
If it was me, I wouldn't be buying plexiglass unless I had a real use for it .....!
I don't want to get too settled in there. I'll never move out! 😁
What model is the small circular saw please?
Great video. Where are the workshop LED ceiling lights from? Could fancy them for my garage. Cheers
Cheers! They're just off Amazon. Had one faulty panel but they replaced it fine. 👍
@@GosforthHandyman cheers. Are you able to share a link or say which make/model they are?
What is the steel holding up ? Did I miss that
New ridge for the extension 👍
What wood stove brand is that if you don't mind? Looks fantastic
It's a Wiking Mini 2. Great little stove, very efficient too. 👍
Have you seen Build it with Rob he uses alloy to strengthen the roof supports
Don't think I've seen that one - will check it out!
This is one of many he has done if you are considering doing a loft conversion it’s well worth a watch of his videos
th-cam.com/video/OrDCdVLDJvQ/w-d-xo.html
good video is is that plywood you have used on the roof of workshop
Yup, marine ply. 👍
The 10 minute workshop sticker is falling off! Surely someone you know could sort that out! Or is it a symbol of the pod cast! Still miss that.
I know! It keeps falling off! I need to glue it on. 😁👍
Great vlog, hope your tools remain safe, after showing the worlds unscrupulous what you have!, but the good news is they normally can’t read or write, so your address should remain safe! Hooked as always.
The world's unscrupulous have known what I have for a long time. 😁
Cracking on with the work. I'm in the North East. (Middlesbrough) How do you find a good electrician to do a distribution board change. Any tips?
I trained with a mate (Simon) who has his own business...Power and Electrical Services Ltd. He might be able to help if you're in North Middlesbrough.
I found an excellent one a bit out of town - came recommended and did a spot on job. 👍
What do you use the cosh for? 🤣
Quite curious why this “studio“ has to be airtight/fireproof… Etc.? Exactly what type of studio is this going to be? Are you going to be recording music? Lol
Initially thought OCD on your workshop! Then I thought, no that’s me.......
Ha, yeah I sometimes get a bit carried away. 😂
Instead of a wood panel, just buy a cheap plexi panel. Can be used for lots of other projects later anyways ;)
Tempting! Don't want to get too settled in there though. Workshop v4.0 will be next year. 😁
2:25 - In my opinion, the arrangement of the stains is not right - it should be in ascending order of lightness, darkest on the left.
No! Light to dark left to right :))) Guess we all have our own way lol
@@stevemichael8458 At least we agree it should be sequenced by shade!
@@mikebashford8198 Absolutely!
Aha! - nerdfest ..... !!
I'd concur with lightest on the left. 😁
That’s verging on ocd Andy 😂
I'm very OCD. It's in a right mess now though. 😂
Really think that these videos are inspirational- just wish that I had the same skills. A little off message here but I think this audience may be able to help me hopefully. I need some Slotted wood screws. Yes these are now old fashioned but I am renovating something approximately 100 years old and would like to replace the screws Like for Like. Can anybody suggest where I might find a ready source please?
@Jim Doherty Jim thanks for your response I don’t live in the UK so I am not familiar with this outlet BUT I just did make a search on their website but it came up with no results? Do you see something different?
Ironmongery direct. If they don't sell it, it doesn't exist. 👍😁
Workshop would have been long enough if you had opened the window covering Andy. :0)
I know, it was great before I blocked it up! 🤣
Workshops are supposed to grow, not shrink!
I know. I'm going long and skinny for the next one. This one is way too short. 😁
Police truncheon hanging in the workshop ?
Question is, will she come quietly........?!
(I'll get me coat ........)
Ha ha, yes. It's a great little mallet! 😁
I hate seeing lath & plaster being destroyed. Especially if it’s going to be replaced by modern cement or polymer based plasters! Lime plaster is so much healthier and better for your home. Breathable, anti-mould and anti-bacterial, absorbs & releases moisture back to balance humidity in your home. Lasts longer - houses hundreds of years old still have it going strong.
OK that’s my soap box put away. People pls do not come at me - my opinion is as valid as anyone else’s!
So much work to make a beautiful home. 👏👏
Unfortunately it's very fragile and sometimes there's no option. 👍
3:46 - Andy, let me hook you up, sending you a PM. Edit: It won't let me send you a PM on instagram, so please message me :) - instagram.com/customvacadaptersuk/
"Don't do this at home" - Everybody does that
Defo, I would never condone it of course. 😁
