Marvellous. I love watching this guy, he never gets stressed and takes everything in his stride. Great wood shed.
You truly are a jack of all trades. I'm constantly amazed at how much you know. You should have been a teacher. The kids of today could sure use your knowledge.
I own a deck and shed building company. I started watching this thinking I would see all kinds of mistakes and inefficiencies, since you do so many other things well, and this is my specialty.
I will say I was pleasantly surprised to see some very solid techniques and craftsmanship. If you talk to my carpenters, they will tell you that I don't give compliments lightly, so bravo.
I have a job for you when you are ready to give up the whole farm/youtuber thing. ;-)
This is just like working with my dad on projects when he was 50ish, I got the full explanation for the engineering side of every project, whether I needed it or not. And now I'm able to perform these types of projects. My dad is 92 now and he still engineers all my projects. :) Thank you
Well done John ! That's the thing about Ranch life...the work NEVER ends ! even when you take a break and just relax for a few days YOU Know there are things you should be doing....
it's a never ending battle but one I prefer to city life. it's never the same thing twice... and you get so many toys to play with....Yah...it is usually so many toys to fix...but they do help so much ! it's knowing you can repair anything on the place and that kind of reassurance is priceless.... As you get older you slow down.... you've noticed it already.... just wait it gets much worse ! but if your lucky you can continue doing this till your 90..... find a pain medication that actually works for you..... I never could ! ....and I had to give it all up. and I miss it dearly..... what I miss the most is the cows and critters and although I have re acquired the tools... I still miss going out for a walk with no one else around.... I'm 70 now and really starting to slow down alot over the past 5 years it has hit me hard.... i just have no energy to do anything.... Don't do me ! hang in there and keep the place no matter how hard it gets !
just make sure you have enough insurance on your house to where if it burns down you can rebuild.... that's where I failed. Rebuilding a house in todays world cost alot more than it did in the 1950's about quadruple...in fact.... and most of that is just Permits ! and then code.
Keep up the videos ! and pet big momma for me ! LOL
I always appreciate the amount of work, with a little forethought, that one man can accomplish. Thank you.
Tremendous, love watching your work. So (apparently) calm & methodical.
I’m doing something almost precisely the same except for one big difference. The progress you made in one day will take me a month.
And here I spent all that time taking that "construction" class at one of the local vocational schools. Just needed to watch this video. OK so, that school was closed and sold off long before the internet came along, so maybe that was the best teaching situation at the time. Whatever. Sorry I couldn't help hold up the end of that fascia board.
Yeah, I know what you mean about "It just doesn't end." Been fixing fence for my dad (83 year old rancher), to keep a bunch of 500lb calves in. Seems like I've fixed the same sections of fence over and over. Finally got him to get an electric fence controller and some insulators... That worked - mostly.
A post at the edge of the slab to stop the gate from swinging past a right angle would be an improvement over your stop at the hinge corner. You could put a catch for your latch to stop an uncontrolled in-swing. There is a great deal of sail area on that door. Not a good as a post but for out swing a cable on a reel link a door leash or air hose reel would stop over opening. Doesn't help for an uncontrolled in-swing perhaps a cable attached to latch on door to screw eye on payment (creating a trip hazard or tire killer) at open position. I really enjoy your podcasts and think they are top notch in every way. The constant tasks to perform are a gift so stay channeled.
Nice, hooked on your latest videos, and now benjing on your older ones. Thank you for your efforts.
Very professional. Nice design. Each time I would think he's gonna need.... and you would be doing it.
Great looking shed. The boiler is a good idea too. Even having to haul wood it pays for itself time and time again. 😁😁😎😎
You should put a screening on the bottom to keep out any critters from getting into the shed like snakes and mice or anything else around. !
The tractor offering shade is brilliant.
Really nice watching a Summer time project in the middle of Winter! Come on Spring. lol
I have been watching your recent videos - yes, really enjoy then. However, these two videos are such a good teaching set showing that more than entertainment, I learn so much. OK, I wont build a shed but if I were to build a shed, this set of videos would be the reference guide.
😂 LMFAO!!! I had to go back and watch that “pathetic” part again!!! Been watching for a couple months now man, outstanding!!!
Nice little shed. I quit framing in wood a long time ago--too much time trying to find good (acceptable) lumber. Steel is always straight and you would be amazed at how quick you get used to using it. The studs are cut with a razor knife (yep!) and tin snips. Use your portaband on the bigger stuff. All screwed together with lathing screws. Added bonus is, it won't burn. :-D Full disclosure: I'm an electrician not a carpenter so, yeah.
Problem is the metal studs are tinfoil. There's literally no strength there whatsoever. Yeah if you're facing both sides it ties it together and it's fine, but if you're trying to do literally anything else with them, you're building a deathtrap.
Came across you playing with your Johnson. Next you were scalding chickens. Now you have boiled up a crooked shed. I would lend a hand but my chair is pretty comfy (nice and cool too). I just dont get how people can talk to themselves AND record it. If you keep this up you are liable to have 500K subs by the end of the year. Love your edits and your sense of humor. Keep up the good work! What could go wrong?
I really enjoy your videos. I used to be able to do that kind of stuff. Worked on new construction and concrete. Loved the hard work and satisfaction each day we did different things until it was finally complete. Thank you buddy.
Conrad Escue in Tennessee.
That is the perfect wood shed!!!Great job. You have an Engineering mind!!!😆😆👍👍👍👍👍👍
John, just a suggestion to possibly attaching a chain to the shed top and to the door opening top edge in case the wind grabs the door.
3:45 that's not lame at all. It's brilliant! Best sun protection there is: be in the shade!
Watching you build is so relaxing, and interesting!
I like the cable and turnbuckle to eradicate the door sag!
When you sit your first rafter on, do the plumb cut on the front top edge but keep that little off cut. The reson being is, it's the same shape as the birds mouth that you need to cut for the rafter to sot flat on the wall plates. Obviously that off cut will be too long so shorten it. Just a handy thing to have if not working off a template rafter.
Every video on TH-cam, i always see people work out and braw on thf birdsmouth when they already have that shape from the plumb cut.
I learn some new things about Stick technology today. Thanks
I just couldn't get my hand through the screen to hold the fascia...I love watching quality construction, who knows, maybe someday I'll be able to do that too :)
I am not in the construction industry nor am I a carpenter, I wanted a good guide to help with small projects such as small sheds and some remodeling around the house. So there’s a magic which is Shed Plan [ visit here *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. This Shed Plan covers all my instructions from top to bottom in a step by step manner.
Wish this guy was my neighbor lol good accurate quality work.
Wow, I really learned a lot on that one. Thanks for all the bits of information thrown in there.
Mark G, Actually “story” boards are traditionally site-specific “guides” used by the Trades during construction of man-made structures. This “stick” was commonly used for vertical alignments in and around the exterior and interior of buildings, that all the various crews could refer to during the build. For instance, the Framers could mark locations around the exterior for window and door sill locations, trim, siding, etc. Masons could follow around a structure with joint alignments, offsets, lintel locations, etc. Finish carpenters could set chair rails, cabinets, so forth and so on. . . The word “story” is a reference to elevations of a building (i.e. 1st story, 2nd story,)-the idea was to work from a common reference point set early on in the project, that would be a datum point for workers on that site. This was adopted back when modern conveniences like bubble levels and tape measures didn’t exist. The “Storey Pole” was carefully looked after during the job, and was often left with the owner or occupant of the building when the job was completed. A “pattern” comes from the dressmaker/tailor/millinery profession, and simply indicates a object or thing from which duplicate copies can be made-like say, clothing fabric (color patterns from weaving looms) or cut up pieces to be sewn together for garments. But, “patterns” can also be created for duplication of other objects, as in this case, rafter tail and birds mouth cuts for instance.
I might be building one of these myself, except I’m think of going longer and thinner. Probably along the back of my garage! Those boilers are super nice.
I realize my comments are a little late since this is a 3 year old project. (Hey, I jus found your channel, and I am catching up! really like it)
You could put a metal cable inside that connects the rafters to the door so the the door can't over-open.
Also, you can see little stop you added to the front fascia caused the side of the building to deflect when the door hits it gently. With that huge door, I can't imagine how much damage it could do if the wind really caught the door.
20:37 Instead of cutting this strip of roof panel off, you could have just overlapped the pieces on the roof by the same distance. No cutting, you would just have double layer over a part of the roof.
That assumes that when you match up the ribs, it will come to the exact right length.
the wall you just put up behind you looks like the sheets are crooked at the bottom from left large open gap to the right narrow small gap.. wondering if it's the angle of the camera? hmmm John 🤔 @6:11 @FarmCraft101
Very nice project superior Craftsman Turned out amazing nice stock pile of wood at the end and the gate door is cool John @FarmCraft101
Is there anything you can't do very cool
TH-cam must really want me to see this build. This is the fourth time I've watched it.
Great job. Wish I had more know how on things like this.
I owned my own business building storage buildings of all shapes and sizes. The issue you discussed at the start is probably the most common one which is: there is NO "normal..build friendly..build site"...ever! Can't tell you how many times I was asked: "now is it possible" to build it on this 45 degree..or put it where this 50 yr old tree..or this 20 ton boulder is...or...grrrr...I once had to build a deck, to span a stream, so I could then build on....SMH / BTW, well done; it looks great...future electric door opener? ;)
Indeed!
This is freaking identical situation to: "there is NO normal... horse" So while taking summer horseback riding class into woods or way across the meadows I hear my coach saying:
"Yeah, weell.. you know what we (WE?) gonna do? You take the huge fuc..ed-up jade.. and cover the back of the kids' group. Meanwhile, I will take the boss's new jumper and take over the front."
Then she adds with those "pleeease" in her eyes: "You know I can't give this jade to a kid. The "Stupid" is well over 180cm high... You know how it's gonna end... When (not IF!) she went crazy you will fall and you gonna be fine, but when a kid falls off her back, something can happen to one..." Cheers :)
I don't get it...why you build using wood in the US? Is it illegal to build houses with concrete for example that will last for generations? Mainly in areas with high humidity
What we did the one time we needed to build on a not level surface in Tech Theater was take a 2 by 8, cut them on the correct angle with the table saw, and then lay them on the unlevel surface and toss flats on top for walls.
Edit: I didn’t realize how big your slope was, our method would require either double the amount of 2 by 8s or some serious lumber cuts (that you probably would need to make yourself). Then again, you have a wood shed thing that you used to make the skids, so that still might work.
Jim/England. Been watching lots of your videos since l come across them! Great stuff would love to have a working farm and so many projects. Stay safe you and all your family. Merry Xmas and a happy New year.
I like this man, he tells things the way they are!
“Survived the fire..” is kind of a subjective thing 😜

You cut air vent holes on the bottom of the side panels but you applied the metal panels all the way to the concrete pad. Isn't that blocking off too much of your venting?
Did that block off your question mark (?) key too?
Its simple and it works. All you need right.
I started watching back when you built the pond... just curious, two years later is it still functioning well? Has it attracted animal life or waterfowl?
Yep. Geese, fish, some river otters. Doing well.
Otters? Cool! Never seen them in the wild.
Thinking a taller chimney would give you a better draft.
If this was arranged slightly differently, you could have a chute feeding the boiler directly from the woodpile, saves lifting and carrying a big log around.
Very well done the work ... top work! Greetings from Germany
Wow, even then, you seem to get a lot of stuff done in one day!
Looks like you've done this a time or two, well done.
You asked for help but by the time I get there you built an extra extension got a new job and drump truck fix both if you want my help you could have waited .... Happy to help
Wow Excellent Video !!! Very well shot, narrated, edited… and as said below - You could put Vo-Tech schools out of Business.. Nicely Done !!!!
Complains about the heat, everyone else in the midwest, "Ah its warming up, looks like its going to be mid thirty today".
It's fun going back to your earlier videos. How many Subs did you have 4 years ago?
Did you cut the 2x4s for the walls on a slant to make up for the slope of the ground? If not, how did they remain at 90 degree angles to catch the plywood?
love your content, please keep them coming.
Too many commercials!!
@@artrosco1973 get an add blocker.
Should make a larger vider stop or even a column like stop, it's going to destroy your door on a bad wind either way I think. I'm unsure.
Any suggestions for a concrete pad that is neither level or flat? We can't tell what the previous own had in this spot but he intended it to drain as there is shower drain in the middle of the pad. Of course it ISN"T in the lowest part of the pad. haha! I'm wanting to put a little kids art/lego studio with some storage for bikes that's about 7x10 that can be on a sled to potentially move if/when we move.
So much nonsense on youtube, it's refreshing to see some good and useful content for a change.
This is TV quality video.
Nice move well done, Somerset mike (UK).
Nice job it's beautiful
ha ha. Applause at 14:20...lol. Great video.
Loved this video so many good tips & tricks
Surely you could make that door concertina? From experience with a similar door stop first good gust of wind it just broke off and bent the door 😂 Like a big sail
You know I am a little irritated. You point it at me and ask for help. I got up get my boots on and came back to ask you where I'm supposed to go. And you were done what the heck. But you did a great job
😂🤣
3:38 Never apologize for an effective hack.
If it's ugly but works it's "field expedient". :)
off level for the tractor forks! Man that's clever
Also I normally sit my base boards on half inch stainless steel spacers caulk the joint filler foam it
Do you think the door stop will be strong enough, if the door gets slammed open? Either the stop gives way or the hinges break...
Nice work. I'm curious why you nailed everything but then screwed the outter two rafters at 19:10. Is there a particular reason for that?
I actually used screws on all the areas that would be exposed to the weather. The nails would rust and deteriorate. The screws will last much longer.
@@FarmCraft101 Oh, that makes a lot more sense. Thanks.
Read the other posts about holding the end of a board and you got it done before thy had their boots on - sorry but I just watched then. You did a great job though - - and door is hangen real nice. Oh ya, boiler needs painting. : < )
you are really smart man!
Great stuff man
NICE JOB !!
The front opening corner supports look like head bangers to me.
Could you have added a block wall between the boiler and wood shed in case of another fire accident?
Very nice. But wouldn't it have been easier to just bolt a load of angle iron together?
Take the old metal gate off the front door. Unnecessary weight. Use just wood framing with the metal roofing. Use the wire turn buckle as well. That old metal gate incorporated into front door isn't doing any good. Nice Wood Shed‼️👍👍🔨 Vinny 🇺🇸
Very nice!
Nice job...!!!
I would have done stem walls, and put gravel in it 4" below f.f. so you have a slab floor.
3 studs on corner gives you a nailer for side wsll2
Well, you'll load your shed with *A* fork (that forklift on your tractor has 2 tines that make up just _one_ fork).
Thanks for the video, very informative :) Time to binge watch.
Want to help you build things, would learn all of the tricks of building :D
Seems good so far! Was easy to talk to about his My Shed Plans [Go Here=> *WoodBlueprints. Com* ]. Guided me in the right direction & helped me understand everything & in the end it was what I wanted
You seemed to be a Nice man... doing alot of Farming Hard work... filming things we like to see and learn from it 💯👍🏻... But give yourself Credit... reply some comments...if you do that along with people more comments and thumps you gets, then more and more Subscriber 👌🏻
Thats will pay you back cuz you doing a great working..just needs a Communication 😁...
Thanks alot for Sharing 👍🏻...be safe
you have done some carpentry work with someone that knows what they are doing!!! you do not learn this on a farm!! you are multi talented!!enjoy your channel!!
Really a puzzle why anyone would build a shed with the roof coming lower than you are tall. Secondly, the double top plate purpose is for load bearing when joists or rafters do not line up with the studs. Tying the corners together is just an extra benefit.
Well done!! Love it!
Good job and interesting video
good work. nice video.
You really ought to do it in millimetres; so much easier than them fractions !
When you cut pressure treated timber you should treat the cut ends
Dave the bugjuice is inside the wood hence pressure treated
It doesn't get to the heart of the wood. In UK it's standard to end treat
Good one!
Do you decide on using nails vs screws based on convenience/limitations from being solo at various stages or is there some general rule?
Nails are structural fasteners where there is a significant shear load, screws are for pulling things together (IMO)
Did you end up putting a way to open the shed from the inside, or do you figure that anyone who gets locked in deserves it?
Thank you!
I'm about to build a lean-to on my shed for extra storage space wish me luck lol
Always like your funny comments.🤣
