Great vid James, thank you. I love the way your girls aren't afraid to get right in there and get their hands dirty. It's so nice to see a family working together.
@@KingsFineWoodworking Respect. I love the way the ladies are putting in a work shift. I am going to recommend my wife to watch this video. She needs to help out on my home projects. Thanks !!!
I hope you pay them kiddos handsomely! They did a kicka$$ job building your shed, especially considering all the attention to detail stuff you're wanting. 👍👌You've taught them well.
Happened upon your shed series as I’m thinking of building my own this summer. The best so far! Everything is explained and demonstrated so well!! Great job and thank you.
The best talk show I have ever seen,every detail very,very well explained. You are the best teacher in the world.I always wanted to build something like this,but could never understand when "others " were explaining and I ended up just quiting all together. I wonder if you have plans for a 8 x15 shed . Thanks a million .
Thanks for the wonderful and methodical videos. I helped build a shed for my dad. It will pale in comparison with my shed now that I’ve seen your series. Thank you so much.
Nice video, I built a shed just like this 10x12. I put an upstais floor across the entire building at 6'10" ceiling height for bottom level. Made for twice the space for storage while downstairs was completely functional for laundry room and motorcycle man cave. This style made it VERY easy to build the truss work! No balancing on ladders needed.
Best I have seen yet in instructional building videos. Great to see your girls advanced building skills. It’s funny to see your youngest go from photo bomber to skilled crafts person.
I enjoyed your shed videos for several reasons, first the manner and demeanor as you explain how you build a shed is very good, second I like how your daughters are hands on, and do a great job of assembly of the trusses
Downloaded 10x12 shed plans. Excellent graphics and full information. Very good v.f.m. The video was instructive and clear. Overall quite brilliant, thank you. Phil - Suffolk. U.K.
Hi James hello from the UK, I have been watching your videos for a while now, I tend to binge watch, you are a great teachers as your daughters can attest to, they are carpenters in their own right too. Look forward to watching to your next video, cheers mate
Getting ready to build my own shed. I bought your plans, I have watch your videos, and believe I am finally ready. Videos are extremely detailed and demonstrated. Thank you for doing this!!!
Just came across your videos , I can't say enough nice things about them. Love the family working together, your explanations and information is very clear and helpful. I'm learning a lot which will help me on my build. keep up the good work.
Thank you, Kings. Another great video. 😘 The Kings’ Fine Woodworking FB community is a wonderful place to share with, learn from, and talk about this craft we love. In addition to the general KFW community, there is now a supplemental/additional affiliated group for women woodworkers to discuss specific issues pertaining to this subsection of woodworkers.
Yes!! Thank you!! Here is a link for all who are interested! As many of you know KFW is myself (James) and my 5 daughters and my wife. So we are 6/7 Women run! This is a group for women, and administered & moderated by women. Please check it out!! facebook.com/groups/KFWWomenofWoodworking/
You make excellent videos and I always look forward to them. I love the detail and tips you give. So fantastic your daughters are learning so much as well. Very valuable knowledge for them as well. You are a great Dad teaching them so much.
James, another outstanding example on how to. Such detail in lining up the sheets, marking of the studs and the layout. Your detail is such that any body can follow your instructions. Such detail on filling the nail holes this early in the build any why do it now. I think the little details and why and how, make a great video. Thank you. Keep up the great work.
I really have enjoyed watching all of your videos James over the last year. Great projects, concise explanations, and family involvement has me looking forward to the next video every time. Don't change a thing.
On those Trusses, you can put in pocket holes and do a quick fast down, doesn't have to be tight, the support pieces on top will help hold as you stated. Also put those hurricane supports on while you still have the trusses on the ground, helps to hold them while you're putting them in their proper position for final fastening. I hate using nails anymore, prefer screws over the nails, unless "local code" calls for it. I enjoy the fact that you've got your kids involved. Now, hopefully, they'll have a "slight" trade to fall back too later in life and hopefully, they'll pass on the knowledge they're learning from you now. Been enjoying this series since I recently came across it. Thank you for the sharing of this series. Cheers :) P.S. It's looking awesome, very professional.
Great educational videos James and King family. I’ve learned so much from your woodworking videos. I would like to point out that even for a shed, it is important to have proper air flow through the structure using soffit vents and roof vents. This would prolong the life of your shingles and make the inside of the shed more comfortable to walk into. Not sure of the benefits to the tools and materials you would store inside, but I built my shed more than 15 years ago, much like you did, but I added airflow vents. My 15 year shingles are almost like new, per the roofers that have replaced wind blown shingles on my house roof. My shed roof remains intact, and I’ve had no rust develop on any of my tools, no musty smell, and it’s comfortable to be inside of it when it’s 35+degC (95+degC) outside. It feels good to know my design is not far off the master woodworkers design. Love your work!
I was wondering about the ventilation aspect too! Perhaps drill small holes in the soffit and maybe line it with screen before attaching it (the soffit)? I haven't gotten to the roof part to see what they do with the roof vent.
Great detailed explanation, one of, if not the best shed building video on TH-cam. These sheds are expensive, doing it yourself could save an enormous amount of money.Well done!
I just want to say how amazing your videos are. Your excellent narration and explanation of how it’s all put together. Your children who are awesome. I’ve learnt so much from this build and will be forever greatful. Mia is absolutely amazing and really handles herself and the tools with great skill and dexterity. I don’t suppose Mia would be interested in getting married to an Australian by any chance? Although I would need to check it with my wife first. 😂
James this was one of the best building series I have ever seen. Very nice job and kudos to the family. Now if you could just loan me all those helpers I will build one too. Btw I bought one of your mini thors hammers and i love it. It has taken a beating and still looks like new. Thanks
Thank you!. And yes, we had less than 48" between the shop and the side of the shed. I was really worried that we wouldn't be able to adequately film this project. I hope it came out ok.
Surprised the side of the shed appears to be right on the lot line, if indeed the fence is on lot line. I guess your zoning bylaws must allow that, ours requires 24”.
Well I’m 3 years to late to get the prices from back then but you got me sold on a 10x12 plan for this year. Was wondering if you have a double door plan if not no biggies it’s probably just the same and flipping a door to the other side. Watched the whole series and it’s a great how to in my book
Great video, nice reminder about the rough side measurement. I have a lot of "scrap wood" pieces that started out as a continuous grain project. I think gremlins switched some of my markings.
Very nice video James. I build a 12' x 20' shed to store lumber in this past summer. I used vinyl siding on mine though.. I did notice that when you install the channel between the siding pieces you set the top piece down on the channel. This piece should be left up off the channel so water doesn't want to soak up the end.
Since the wall is 9 foot and using 8 foot sheet the sheet that goes on top of the 8foot sheet should go all the way up to the top of the gable, it would tie last foot of the wall to the gable. It would make the gable stronger.
Looking good!!! Love the attention to detail on the faux seams matching and the corner trim with the sides going on first and the fronts covering , I'm a perfectionist myself. I did have one question though. It seems you could have avoided the upper z flashing by just waiting for the end gables to be put up then finishing your siding for the front and back.
or, since you know the rise of the roof, just cut your siding that length plus what ever you need for the wall and after your end truss is up and plumb, use your router and a flush trim bit.
Most trusses are now using Simpson Strong-Tie SDWC15600-KT Strong-Drive Structural Wood Screw. they screw from the bottom pulling the truss down to the top plate.
Thoughts hurricane clips are now not able to be installed with the teco 10 nail like you used they will be required in the future to be a Mitek rated screw at three times the cost expecially on decks where after a couple of years you can walk up to them and just pull them out with your fingers they are unsafe I know they are code and that we have to install them but i got flaged on a job and had to replace all of them so it is coming soon to an inspector near you
I'm learning quote a bit watching this series (and most any of your videos). Thank you! One quick question, though, about these trusses. In the previous episode you determined that the hypotenuse of the truss was 69.5" yet when you laid out the birds mouth, you did so at 69.75". Was this done intentionally to allow the lateral adjustability you mention in this episode?
Question. At 18:35 you placed a triangle piece if siding. Is there a reason you didn't leave the short 2 foot piece below it off until you got to this point then just add a single piece eliminating the need for three pieces and additional flashing?
Couldn't you have avoided having to use that 2nd piece of flashing by waiting to install the siding until after the roof trusses were installed and then using one continuous sheet up from the first piece of flashing?
King's Fine Woodworking hay I have joined a men shed I have never used a table saw be for or a bench saw I am now I love it I am making a dolls house 🏠 and a food 🥘 cuboard to and or so a picnic table love watching your videos next week I will be making chopping borers 👍👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙👌👌👌😎😎😎🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺from Australia Victoria Melbourne sweat 💦
Also I see you are using a framing gun to nail siding what length of nail and kind of nail do you use for siding? Is siding you are using is it a material like Hardi-plank or Smartboard? Thanks!
I'm enjoying your videos and have a question regarding trusses. A number of videos I have watched show trusses being built with a "bottom board" that connects between the rafters and sits on top of the top wall plates. I guess I would call it a rafter tie. I notice you don't use that in your roof framing which I like because it leaves the ceiling space open. However, is there any concern about the stability or rigidity without rafter ties. Is there a concern of roof sagging or walls pushing outward without rafter ties. Just from a practical usage perspective, I was thinking of adding rafter ties to make an "attic floor for storage or perhaps an attic floor on half of the shed. Thoughts?
Great videos! I'm in the market for a 10x16' shed like the one in your plans, but it's like to have double barn doors on the side. Would you be able to make plans for that? Even if it was an additional cost... Thank you!
Fine job, as always. Just one question. It appears the utility lines are above the shed. Are there any concerns or regulations about having a building underneath lines? Keep up the great work as family!
Great vid James, thank you. I love the way your girls aren't afraid to get right in there and get their hands dirty. It's so nice to see a family working together.
Thank you! And they certainly are very skilled, and don't shy away from any project. They have pretty much all been building their whole lives.

Happened upon your shed series as I’m thinking of building my own this summer. The best so far! Everything is explained and demonstrated so well!! Great job and thank you.
I don't like talking shows, but with you. There's so much good info, I love listening. The daughters are beautiful too.

you have a good attitude today? Good for you, Jack 😊
I just saw a part 5 , in which you mentioned a roof ridge vent. Nice. I should have expected that from you by now. 👍

Great skill with good manners 🙏👍
Very nice job buy everyone. I wish my niece & nephew worked as hard as your Family James.
Best building series I have ever seen.
Another awesome video and great info!! Thanks James and King Family!!
Love the detail in these video series
Love these videos and your crew / fam!
I do not love the 9' height for mainly asstectic reasons.
I think open, or boxed, eaves are a must.
I luv the details and impressed by how perfectly you get these angled measurements/cuts :)

Love it. It's really great you have helpers. My helpers are not very interested in wood working but they do love getting things I made lol.
Excellent Work and extremely informative, Cheers John from OZ
Nice job ladies man your daughters are tough!
Love all the detail in your videos.
Another great educational video.
And WOW! I knew that was a tight space you all were building in, but this video really showed just how tight.
Thank you!. And yes, we had less than 48" between the shop and the side of the shed. I was really worried that we wouldn't be able to adequately film this project. I hope it came out ok.
@@KingsFineWoodworking Came out fine.
Surprised the side of the shed appears to be right on the lot line, if indeed the fence is on lot line. I guess your zoning bylaws must allow that, ours requires 24”.
Those girls put me to shame. I'm glad they have building skills. Hopefully they'll keep teaching the future generations.
I usually trace the gable end siding in place and cut the line off, that gives you a perfect cut that's guaranteed not to be too tall.
Excellent
these videeos are awesome ! you guys rock !
Very nice work keep it up you is a boss👍
Your daughter handles a nail guy better than some iv seen on framing crews.
Great details James. This video is very well done.
Thank you Don!!

Hi Dale, thank you!!
Thanks for sharing that
You could also use a long screw straight down from the top of rafter into plate. Faster and stronger than toe screwing. 😉
longest screw i found in home depot is just 3 inches
עבודת צבת מאוד מגובשת וחינוכית אתה אבא נפלא
Good job
Heavy duty fascia board & soffit board. Wow, lucky this was done prior to this year’s skyrocketing lumber prices.
Excellent video - very clear guidance. I wish you lived near me - you could come and build me a shed !

I agree with MOST of what you have done, but I have NEVER seen anyone install soffit, fascia, and trim, before putting on the roof.
I like this design. I was disappointed you didn’t overhang the roof in the front and back.
Will the rafters you built be strong enough for a 14x19 shed. I love the videos and your rafters look very easy.
Want to build one for my dad, but want it to be a surprise.... Now if I can just figure out how to solo the entire thing...
Build them kids some saw horses!!! LOL!

I noticed that as well
phenomenal work... lower the psi that wood is young
May have been addressed, but why wouldn't you make just one joint with end siding?
Question. At 18:35 you placed a triangle piece if siding. Is there a reason you didn't leave the short 2 foot piece below it off until you got to this point then just add a single piece eliminating the need for three pieces and additional flashing?
Do you have a video how to insulate a shed?
Couldn't you have avoided having to use that 2nd piece of flashing by waiting to install the siding until after the roof trusses were installed and then using one continuous sheet up from the first piece of flashing?
Would this base method also work fine for Florida? As far as the rainy season and the timber being on the ground?

Haveing that walk board on top of that ladder is highly dangerous

Thank you!
Fine job, as always. Just one question. It appears the utility lines are above the shed. Are there any concerns or regulations about having a building underneath lines? Keep up the great work as family!
