Build a Simple, Inexpensive, Outdoor Storage Shed with Basic Hand Power Tools.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ม.ค. 2021
- Dad and I were in desperate need of additional storage for lawn mowers, garden equipment, outdoor stuff, bicycles and the like. After looking at what was offered at the big box stores we decided we could build bigger, better and cheaper and have it done before a "kit" could arrive. Plus the kits didn't include foundation leveling.
So with some basic hand power tools that also have cheap hand tool equivalents we build a foundation, floor, walls and ceiling which should last the life of the house and provide lots of space for junk. Tips and tricks throughout the video.

Very informative. Very well done. Lots of "make it faster and/or easier" things that I might not have thought of.
Thanks
@@wortheffort great job you sound like me I'm not the best but I do have common sense and know how to read a tape measure. LOL thank you
I have helped you build my house but not built a shed before. This video was very informative, thank you very much.
I love how you and your dad work together. It makes a tight bond. My dad and I used to do projects like this until he passed away. God, I miss those times. Cherish your dad like every day may be your last. ♥
To have your father around is a real gift from life. Enjoy him as much as you can. Greetings from Mexico.
Man!!! My pops is recovering from Covid right now. And I can't wait to hang out with him. One of the greatest gifts God has given me is a father. And I am greatful to God.
Es la verdad hermano.
You are so right. I lost my dad when I was just 32 years old. I'm 60 now, and I still miss him every day. When I was far too young to help him, dad did projects like this one while I watched and absorbed it like a sponge. This video shot me down memory lane with my dad, and I am grateful to you for that.
On a more relevant note, your project is terrific as it is one that most able bodied people could realistically accomplish by referring to your video as they go. Thank you for sharing this with us.
@@chrisshirley4877 I'm going to be 60 in Dec. and my father died when I around 35. I would love to take him out fishing with me, and have a few beers. My older brother died a little over a year ago when he was 59, and he loved to fish for Stealhead. It would of been great to have all 3 of us fish again together!
Follow up on that in your heart and in your mind my friend. I'm so sorry for your losses. I am currently dying of cancer, so I can tell you with at least some authority that your dad and your brother are doing okay. It is we who are left behind who hurt. But it is a bittersweet hurt. It keeps our fallen loved ones alive, and what a beautiful thing that is.
Bro, it is ridiculous how easy you made that look, I enjoyed every minute of it, but at some points I got lost so I'll have to watch it several times. Thanks a lot.
As a guy who's done lots of framing, I was going to pick this apart and eat you alive for it, but after watching it, I admire you. Not a fake bone in your body, and accepting the fact that you're not a pro, not trying to be, and having fun with a little project knowing it's not gonna be perfect, doesn't have to be, and you're happy with it. Respect 🤜🤛🍻
Same here. I appreciate his common sense approach. But it's only a 7 foot span, if he wanted to go super easy, just build a box, buy thicker rafter stock and cut a deeper bird's mouth. Roof pitch achieved.
Yeah I was about to do the same 😂 but the guy did a real good job
I wish my old man was still around. Pretty cool. I got a cpl sons they help me all the time
I felt the same way.
And having the opportunity to do it with his father!!!
This is some home grown goodness. No drawings and calculations, but not “by the seat of the pants” either. It obvious you had a plan, and had worked it all out in your head, and it came together perfectly. A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing it.
Lost my pop when I was 30 & I'm now 63. He was in WWII, as a T5, Technical Corporal in the European Theater. I still think about him everyday.
Back in 2007, I built a 12' X 20' barn all by myself. However, I learned a lot from my dad which included having confidence in whatever I was working on. My son is now 28 and I see a lot of my dad and me in him.
Having help is one thing, but having your dad to help is over the top. Great job!
Me and my Dad loved wood working. We built a 2 car garage when i was younger. Then beds and furniture as i got older, and will remember that for the rest of my life. Lost him in March 2021, and i will carry on my love of wood working from him and for him. Thanks for the video, and the reminder of past builds.
As so many said in the comments ... You are blessed to have your dad with you on this project.. Great job
You showed us a few clever tricks, all well & good. Saw horses are a must have for me, not a tippy garbage pail.I miss my old boss, he was a master carpenter, who passed 2005.He used to hand nail the ten and twelve pennies in! TEXTURE 111 LOOKS GREAT.
Good to having a dad, showing his son how to build something useful .
Two things you need when you're a novice carpenter is lots of patients and a good sense of humor. You seem to have both down pat.
"Plan for your incompetence." This is a super good idea for first timers.
The video was posted right before the winter storm. I bet he regrets ever saying that phrase now.
@@jessiehawes5062 Yeah, I know
@@jessiehawes5062 nope, survived better than my two neighbors sheds. Both got rebuilt.
Lol, that speaks directly to me.
Father and son having a good time while accomplishing something they both need...I miss my dad!!!
The loss of a father is a life changer
Me too. Hugs to you
Miss my Dad too…he helped and taught me how to build a garage when I bought my first home, but I mustn’t have paid enough attention so I’m looking at this as a refresher course…thank u for posting…
Well I learned something here today. I saw you put your pencil on the mark where you measured to and THEN move your square to bump the pencil to draw your cut line. I always place the square as best possible beside the measured mark and then draw the cut line across with the pencil. WELL YOUR WAY makes sure your square is at the perfect alignment with the measured mark. Learn something new everyday
You guys are so funny😅 I love the father and son interaction! I wish I was there because I probably would have been laughing my as.... off🤣 I have been looking for a cheap way to do this. I am 68 and have always done everything myself! I have men in my life that won't do anything for me but they are excellent at watching tv. I live in Greensboro NC and I think the ground is simular to yours and I pick up used pieces of wood when I see them and have a good collection. Thank you for giving me hope❤
I have watched you guys a few times and I am gonna build my shed very soon. (Saved money for supplies). You guys help me understand the process and how to take my time and just get it done. Thank you very much for the great video and details.
Love your philosophy “plan for my own incompetence” - need to adopt that!
Very necessary in regards to the existing labor force. You still get a satisfactory product with only marginally higher material costs and a good bit of free labor.
I really felt as if I was learning alongside someone who didn't pretend he knew it all, but has the ability to figure it out. I grew in confidence the longer I watched. Excellent teaching method!
Thank you. Good practical tips and nicely presented. I love the self effacing style when, actually, you are a natural at construction!
My mom built our house. She’s amazing
Wood Glut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
Your silence when reading the tape was golden. Then your dad says he was holding the tape off the peer. Haha
I loved it when your Dad 'messed' with you on the last measurement to get the foundation square! Your consternation was obvious. He got you good!
Nicely done. Plywood should always go long direction perpendicular to the joists. Otherwise it is more bouncy stepping between joists. Usually the sheets are staggered. No need for "double" joist every 8 feet.
Happy to see American's still building in the midst of this SPIKE in lumber prices. About the time we all get projects done the prices will probably level out, lol... Happy woodworking. Hello from Kentucky mountains
I have to give you an A for effort. I've been building for 40+ years, and I could teach you some things, but with your aspiration and desire, I believe you'll finish anything you start. Congratulations buddy, well done!
A wise man speaks. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙
Well, Michael the Supreme builder is in da house! Yeah!
@@talkingcargojunkremoval By golly, his methods worked for him. But I would of been using that miter saw to make the angled cuts, not a hand saw. Made me look at how I do things. Nice job.
@@talkingcargojunkremoval q
is there any issue with the entire load of the shen relying on just the screws of the 4 corner brackets.
Nice work!
To me, the best part in this video is that you got to work with your dad. Cherish that.
A $1,200 shed to provide "lots of space for junk?" The junk I have isn't worth $1,200! But if you have a legitimate need for a great shed, this one certainly fills the bill very nicely. Good job, guys!
Finally found a channel that matches to my skill level
For the main 4x4 foundational supports, I would put 2 bolts through each (with lock washers and nuts) , totally securing the foundation. Nails can be used for everything else, as the foundation is solid. Not that much more expensive, but hugely stronger over the years. Nice build. peace
I freaking love this guy, he always down talks himself and his lack of skills while perfectly explaining and demonstrating how to do whatever task he is doing! Totally reminds me of my family and the way we built things growing up.
OMG! You are funny too! I'm a mere wife person but it was fun to watch you! Humor is life's best elixir! And you're a great educator. Your explanations are clear, succinct, and effective. I feel like I could build this now!
I have watched a lot of shed building. Yours was better than most. Your way was good for someone who hasn’t done this. I liked how you showed how to layout, cut areas that were different, and made them easier to understand.your dad was a great help and inspiration to be there for you. I saved this to help me this spring to do mine. I liked how you built it and your way of doing it
How was your build in the spring?
27:04 - "Find yourself a workbench"... works on a garbage bin. Literally in tears of laughter! I love this video! Tons of info.
I'm going back east to see my 85 year old dad on thursday 10th Nov.....very blessed
ALWAYS WRAP YOUR PERIMETER WITH A 2ND 2X
LOCKS EVERYTHING INTO PLACE
USE 3" SCREWS ON HANGERS THAT GRAB BOTH!!!!!!
LASTS 100X LONGER
NO SAGGING
NO CRACKING
NO SPLITTING
I love the public service announcement about wearing shirts in the work shop! Hilarious!
Hi Shawn .
Thanks for another great video. I am builder in New Zealand and a few years ago I took up turning and have watched almost all of your videos in an effort to absorb some of your awesomeness. As it is always work the effort to learn create and share :) I wanted to pass on some hints as to what you might like to try in the future if you do this kind of project again- or for anyone considering making a shed.
1. Consider using screws. They are fast becoming the go to for all builders. ( just like they are for joiner's like you)They pull the wood together tighter than nails and they dont let go- therefore avoiding squeaking and also less racking in the framing. When you put a temporary brace on you dont have to hammer the entire structure to remove it- you simply unscrew it. When your framing is lying down you simply screw 1 or 2- 100mm screw or "bugle screws" through the bottom plate and into the stud. This has an incredible amount of holding power compared to a nail, and if you need to reposition it- no trouble. Great for people doing their first shed.
2. When you cut the door out you could also have tried lifting the sheet into position- Marking the back of the ply sheet around the outline of the door with a pencil. Dropped it onto some saw stools and cutting it out with a battery skill saw. Far neater and quicker too.
3. When ever using things like long timber studs a short spirit/bubble level will not give the best results as timber can vary over the length of just 1 meters depending on how good/bad your grade of timber is. A level at least 1.8 meters will give you a more accurate and plumb result.
All this said I realise that this is just a shed- just hoping someone else may find this helpful. I wish that it was cheaper to build my own shed here in New Zealand, but most often its cheaper to buy a kit set one, which sucks. Thanks again
The plywood sheets should lay perpendicular to the floor joists. This increases the strength of the flooring.
And it is recommended by the manufacturer, as well as code.
For folks who are building a shed but using treated lumber for parts of it, be sure to use the proper nails/screws rated for use with it. The current treatment they use eats steel like candy.
Dude my shed cost $1275 on special from Home Depot but I had it out on a slab roughly $500 and the labor for it to get built $500 so mines cost total right at $3000 because I had to pay for it to get painted. You guys did a better quality shed and bigger . Also you bonded with your daddy it’s was so nice.
Home Depot Tuff Shed SUCKS.
"Planned Incompetence", I love that phrase, works all the time for me.
Okay the dad part sold me! He reminds me of my dad. He was a master craftsman and a good old boy from the hills of the south. He had a similar sense of humor your pop does. We did so many projects together. I got most of my skills from him. I wish he was still here because my wife talked me into buying another fixer upper. She is either trying to keep me young or kill me off.

You guys are funny and brilliant.
Even a girl of 60 able to understand the technic of basic building. Thank you for sharing.
Take a drink every time he says “sheet good” seriously, great video. Cool guy. Sheet good!
😂😂😂 fun way to get drunk very quick
I’m stone
Too drumk, 3 minutes into.the vudeo
Mmmm...beer. good...
Nothing like a father and son project , its so nice to see father and son work well together! Keep up the good work!
Little tip for next time when you're doing your layouts, hook the edge and pull your tape out, and mark 3/4 shy of your 16 (red marks) and put the x to the right. The left side of your joist will fall on the line every time and the center of the joist will be on the x. Hence the term "16 on center"
I just built a 2 story shed because where I live a shed cant have a foot print of over 120 without a building permit but they don`t care how tall it is. I wasted a lot of time doing the math for the end walls. I wish I had seen your trick to save time because even after I "did the math " I still messed up. I like the way you think! Where I live people are very nice and someone saw me installing the roof and came over to help me because he saw my gray hair and thought I was too old to be on a roof alone. I used white underlayment because the felt burns me from the sun . I think it was called tiger paw. I also like the printed lines on those type of products.
Love it! It's so wonderful when you see two generations building something together.
4:54 LOL I miss doing this kind of stuff with my dad. Enjoy it while yours is still here.
Cherish your father. This video makes me remember all the great times I had with my dad
The way you get a flat floor is to “crown” your floor joist upward. When applying the decking, the floor will flatten out as weight is applied. There isn't anything called dead flat when it comes to wood... there is only close. Also, sheet goods have something called a “strength axis”. You run your sheet goods perpendicular to your joist and not parallel to them.
"I'm gonna saw off the corners"
- Starts hand sawing
- Screw this I'm getting the chainsaw
😂😂😂
The "Texas Chainsaw Post Cutter" 😂😂
That was hilarious!!
When he yelled haHA I busted out laughing..totally relatable. my fav part.
Fun video. The dad is a trip. Do these things while you can. I'd give anything to have had the chance to do this with my dad.
Just wanted to let you know that I bought a plastic Rubber Made shed and it was to be delivered in a few days.... when I saw your video it inspired me to cancel the delivery and buy the wood to build it myself... I'm in the process now... Thank you!
Ya my parents had one of those. You'll like the ability to customize tool hangers with wood studs.
Thanks for this video. The main thing I liked was that you didn't just slop it together, cut corners and call it good. Good solid work.
I realize you did your homework. Maybe watched a few videos. But you also threw some of your own thinking into the mix. I like that because sometimes when you don't know of the standard ways of doing something, you'll come up with some really neat ways.
I am a woman and have always done work like this alone. That will really make you think outside the box.
Appreciate your time for explaining some of your shortcuts and helping many others. Jesus bless.
I'm retired and work by myself on similar projects and want to say Thank You for sharing your tips. I learned a lot of practical techniques from this video. Like you, I try to avoid the math whenever possible and it's surprising how much you can accomplish by thinking things through and forming a mental picture or making a simple drawing. Your way of cutting the angle on the wall studs on the ends of your shed is a great example. Due to my lack of training, I'm all about compensating for my incompetence and things usually work out. I try not to let my lack of technical knowledge prevent me from trying something, because my projects are all for my own use and no one's paying me. Sometimes failure - or let's just call them "temporary mistakes," can be the best teacher. Last year I built a garden shed that would have turned out a little better if I'd have seen this video first. But this summer I'm building a storage shed and it's going to be much better as a result of your example. Thanks again.
Planned incompetence, I love that phrase👍 It's what I'm all about. Plan for the worse and hope for the better🙄
I'm thankful for individual thinking. I appreciate the differences we all have. What a contribution👌
I feel like I'm getting a common core math lesson but hey, you did a good job.
At 9:18 Floor joist. You only need to sight down the board to find the crown. Most lumber will have a slight curve. The upside is the crown. Mark crowns with a big arrow mark as UP. All UP crowns IE: upward curves should point Up Makes the floor naturally stronger and uniform. Same idea for walls to keep uniform. You don't want a wavy walls. Rafters Too. Crowns of lumber should be UP and OUTward.
Look down a board. Many times you'll see a curve. Make a big arrow showing the curve.
(Im this user’s husband) i used to work for a mobile home manufacturer making roofs for huds and mods, being it was a factory i was moved around to all sections till they found out i was good at roofs and I’ve built every part of a house at least once. From the floor to the roof everything felt truly nostalgic. This is the same process for houses minus a lot of safety precautions which sometimes are a bit extra anyway. Good show of craftsmanship!
I really appreciate the tips on the walls. I learned that since I have a compressor, I will buy a pneumatic nailer instead of a battery powered nailer, too. Wonderful improvisation. Euclid didn't use math either.
as a Dad with an adult Son I sad the same thing at the same time @4:46 love your Dad
You so lucky have your father give you a helping hand, hope you will nice to him when he gets older. Thanks 🙏
You are not incompetent you are very intelligent. To have the ability to successfully build a shed takes a special person. Big ups.
P.S. I have not finished yet lol
Miss my pops. Give your ole man a hug, tell him you love him. Good job I gave it thumbs up and sub
Dads a chop buster! Lol Love his wacky sense of humor.
You answered a question that has plagued me for a long time but I've been too proud to ask. That is, "what are those silly tabs on the joist hangars?" Thanks. I can now get a good night's sleep.
Thank you. I'm 65 and have slowed down. I don't have my father to help. I'm going to build me one anyway.
I've desperately been looking for a video that is this detailed! Thank you very much!!
some of your technics will work great for me. I'm a 60 yr young female with one working arm. Thank you for the help.
Dad is very cool
Dad taught the son all he needed, he just needs to be in the shadow and let the son shine
Dad, you did your job good. You raised your son to standard
Enjoy your beer once the shed is done
I will second you on the enjoyment
Great video - from a fellow Texan. OSB is now $40+/sheet. Crazy!
Even of you had went with 24” centres rather than 16” it would still be more solid than the box store precursor kit.
The topless shop video was hilarious, but I'm bummed. I was watching to see how you would finish the roof and the door.
Same here
About 10 years ago i helped build 44 sheds on a 10 acre property on the outskirts of Los Angeles County. The rapacious code enforcement department was visiting each property with hostile approach to intimidate (that's a whole story in itself) .
My employer did not want those vermin to have any reason to return, so we demolished the large wood frame building and built more tthan 3 dozen 10×12 foot sheds, the idea being no.building permit required as each did not have enough sq footage to require it.
Our biggest design flaw looking back was the flat roof which dod not slant.
I'm a 67 year old woman who hasn't done a lot of construction but learn some things from an old boyfriend when we remodeled old houses. I drew up plans for a 8 x 12 shed with old windows I have laying around. Got the floor done and waterproofed. What a b dragging those CCA soaked 12 ft
2x10s 400 ft. I planned how I was going to do this laying in bed and it's amazing how much you and I think alike.
"Planned incompetence." Love it.
Been a while since I've seen anyone use a hand saw, but they do come in handy at times.
My father build a four bedroom house with only hand tools. No electricity yet so he wasn't waiting. He was a beast with tools. And the shingles were hand split cedar.
Of course when we built my shed the same rules applied. I had to do it without power tools.
Love the Dewalt framing nailer! Makes framing simple.
Don't recall how I came to this video but did learn a few tips and tricks:
- adding an extra board to offset that temporary positioning brace for the back wall so the yet-to-be-built front wall could be tilted up without dealing with "sticking" or was that "stiction"= sticking+friction?
- the no-measurement trick to building the side walls with the slanted top
- and also adding those temp marker boards up top so you could just push up and hold the exterior sheathing while your dad nailed them in place
Also, it took me until the very end when I saw the wording in the credits did I figure out why you were saying "Worth the Effort" when your TH-cam handle was just "wortheffort." VERY clever - "orThEffort." Very clever..... Dang, wish I had thought of that! Take care.
5:00 “Go back and measure it again, I screwed you over”. Hahaha. That was a good laugh.
Wish you would of done the door. Our hired handyman hung mine crooked and now can't find him.
Loved the great idea of how to cut the side wall studs with minimal fuss. Clever.
In this life, there will always be haters; the number of thumbs down says it all about those kinds of people... IMO, This was a great video, and fun to watch. Any beginner and some seasoned builders could appreciated this build. Now, did you see the walls of those Big Box Store Storage's, just cross-braces for wall studs????
I live in Oregon, the Timber Capitol of the World, Douglas County, the Largest timber farms, Timberlands, mills, putty almost 300,000 board foot of lumber through the planner a shift. There isn't any cheap lumber anywhere. I was recently going to frame an 8X10, with metal siding and roof. Ended up buying one of the build it yourself galvanized put together sheds. Only needed less than 1 and 1/2 yard of cement and that was almost $300, penalty for a short order and some companies now charge per mileage, used to be a 25 mile radius free delivery. Nothings cheap anymore, lol.
Great video, finally one that guys like me who struggle with measurements can understand thank you for making this video.
My dad was a carpenter. I wish I would of paid more attention. Great video!
From Lil Giant I wish I would HAVE, not would of
@@henryvalero9235 Thank you grammar police
Wow! So helpful as i prepare to make a mews, a house for a red tailed hawk as i learn to be a falconer! Best of all you did it with your Dad😊
I like the fact that you have your Dad as a side kick. You or yours must be a good cook. I can see you are a good teacher. Don't hit your thumb with that hammer. Take care 71 in Mobile, Al.
I really enjoyed you guys working very good team work
Really enjoyed your Dad when he was messing up with your head lol
I love your way of teaching. You have a gift. I've already learned so much!
Wall Slide Braces are an Excellent idea, thanks! 👍
In my landscape practice i have promoted a patio stone floor with an independent on sonotube build shed.
Easy entrance and no mice underneath or other critters to deal with. Wall can be stiffened through a beam on ground level and plywood sheeting and bracing for structural integrity.
I love your video man. Thank you for explaining! I love the " planned incompetence, we aren't that good"
You are so good!
Enjoying this vid with a cup of coffee.
I'm glad I still have my dad around too but he gets frustrated and doesn't like that I film things we do sometimes (which takes up more time). My dad would be yelling put the camera down! The rain is coming!
I wish you had more videos about this type of building, i would use your video to build my mom a tiny home and teach my 16 yo son too. i appreciate your simpleness and explanation
Inspiring to hear the added sanity and sense of a comics take on construction. Genius, all day long!! Love it!
Fun watching you and your Dad. Nice job!
Im glad I found this outdoor shed video now i can get my shed out of my living room
