Refreshing to see a guy building something without having to use a $50,000 workshop containing every known power tool
Great video mate....copied it step by step, and it turned out a treat .....only difference was I sourced my timber from a shed I knocked down last week!! .....cheap as you like and looks great. Cheers
Wonderful result. I have plenty of tools but its incredibly refreshing to see a DIY tutorial that I could easily follow without them. Love your editing, highlighting the different parts too. Thanks for the video. Can't wait to make my own😊
Hu there - I'm wondering whether you went ahead and constructed the log store, based on the dimensions in this very good video? As you can, see from my comment above, I don't understand how the rectangular frame for the roof is wide enough to sit squarely on top of the four posts - isn't the frame too narrow? I'm keen to find out before I order the timber and cut the frame out. Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.
Top video, really good to see somebody showing you in easy steps how to build something. Thank you.
Excellent! Good, clear instruction and straight forward design.
Excellent video that was explained simply and concisely - good lad - will be following your instructions to make my own
Great video! I’ve had a log burner for years and always thought about making my own storage. Thanks for supplying all measurements tips and tricks! I’ll be making one soon! 👍
Just what I need to make! Good video. Subbed!
One of the most informative and easy to follow DIY vids I've seen, great job - You just got a new subscriber
Well done, great video. Made me get going ……done and dusted in one and half days.
Brilliant and love the accent 🤩
Thank you so much I’m going to give this a try x I refuse to pay the silly prices of a ready made one. So glad you made this video just what I wanted, 👍😀
Glad it was of help Sarah! :) Joe
Brilliant man
Great video
Adorooooooo!
Parabéns pelo seu trabalho!
Onde é?
Abraços!
BRASIL! !!

Great job. Just a couple of comments. First all the weight of those logs is supported by just 4 screws. Second, you may want to brace it at the back to prevent wracking. Sorry to nit pick but I have this OCD problem...😁
nice
Don't suppose I can get an answer at this late stage, but I'm wondering about how the roof frame fits on top of the four corner uprights. The width of the roof frame is 1250 mm overall. The uprights are 1200 mm apart, which means that the roof is 50 mm wider than the frame. But the boards used for the roof frame (and for the uprights) are 38 mm square. Doesn't that mean that 50 mm is not sufficient overlap to sit squarely on the uprights? Shouldn't the gap be at least 76 mm (2 x 38 mm)? I might be displaying my ignorance by asking, but I'd love to get the dimensions right before buying / cutting the frame. Any advice gratefully received.
I don't get what you mean when you said you bought boards? Don't you just buy long pieces then cut them up for the frame? Or are the long 38ml pieces classed as a board?
This is great thanks! Just one query - surely the long lengths of the roof frame need to be cut longer than 1250mm? With the short 700mm lengths being fixed inside, this will leave the internal dimension as 1174mm which is shorter than the frame dimensions of 1200mm and so would not fit on the outside of the frame as shown in the video? 1276mm seems the minimum cut length to me (1276-38-38=1200). Anyway we'll see when i try to make one myself!
That is a very good point you make Chris. How did you get on? Shame @OnABudgetOfficial didn't respond. Otherwise, great video.
@@oscill8r I cut it to my calculated dimensions and it was spot on!
@@chrishirst1373 Thanks for your reply Chris. Please to hear that. Looking forward to trying it myself. Gotta love TH-cam.
@@oscill8r good luck! I didn't use cladding or closeboard on the sides. I just used rough sawn fence palings and left gaps for airflow. I also made mine taller, rather than cutting down standard lengths of timber for the rear uprights. I also put a diagonal brace across the rear.
With hindsight I would probably use sturdier timber, maybe for the uprights but definitely for the bottom supporting cross members as these have bowed under the weight of the logs stored. Also the roof could do with a bit more overhang at the front.
Sorry for being stupid… but where do I find the list for materials needed?
good simple project well presented. One design addition I would add is if the store is free standing (ie not bolted to the wall) would be to add two cross pieces at the back to stop the store racking or just add a back panel of cheap roofing board (painted of course!)
Great idea David! This one will probably end up bolted to the wall once they're certain on its position :) Joe
agree with adding a crosspiece to avoid racking, and it'll make it easier also to add some fixings to a wall to avoid it being a topple risk.
base looks flimsy and pic with full load of logs looks shopped
