- Part 1 in a short series about building a workshop shed using some salvaged and new materials.
This video covers the ground works, the salvaged wood, a SketchUp model of the workshop, building a retaining block wall, making the frame, installing the windows, and starting to assemble.
This was my biggest ever project, and I don’t know if I’ll ever do anything bigger than this (unless I build myself a house some day!)

For me, the ideas in czcams.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
I love watching old videos and this was a good one!
I'm looking to build a garden room and have absolutely zero experience so this video was really useful, despite the intrusive music.
outstanding advice to building a garage .
this music could send someone crazy
never mind the wingers,great job and good video,i,m just in the process of building something similar,needed guidance thats why i watched,got it,my mate installed a caravan as a workshop, the local council told him to take it down as it could be used as a dwelling, i said "build a shed in the shape of a caravan, that'd stuff.em" lol

Excellent job, love to see someone responsible enough to reuse lumber in their construction project!
Brilliant. just brilliant.Really enjoyed watching this.
just ordered the *WoodBlueprints. Com* guide for step-by-step videos and different plans to BUILD A SHED. they have some awesome plans in there
Lots of great tips. Thank you. Professional video and commentary
Thanks Tony
Sonia D. Lynch Looks like Teds woodworking!
Dug by hand. Good man.....
Motoring on big guy! Great work, enjoying this!
Brilliant!
Planning on building a timber workshop, a large one!
However may U suggest that in order to check your frame is square the best way is to measure across reach diagonal. As a professional woodworker this is a foolproof method
Awesome that mate
very great thankyou
great video - thanks for sharing
I remember watching this years ago over and over again. It was one of the videos that gave me the confidence to build my own workshop. Thanks Keith. 👍
Using the off cut to mark the rest is ok if you are 100% sure they're all the same length. Which i doubt they are.
Good films buddy
Nice to see a film with someone using few tools
Your mrs must be very understanding. With all those dirty timber piled up in the house haha.
Great video mate. Good job on the cheap
Ive never seen anyone pre drill a nail before haha.
interesting points ,if anyone else trying to find out backyard storage sheds plans try *WoodBlueprints. Com* Ive heard some decent things about it and my colleague got cool success with it.
jeeez, the days before impact drivers were a thing, were tough ay ?
Really well documented - a fantastic informative video. Thanks so much for your efforts!
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
It's a good looking shed.
I think I will look for wood similar to what you used.
However, I would put the tongue in grove boards inside. That would make a beautiful wall.
I would go with metal outside, for better protection against the weather.
But, great job.
Great video content! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you thought about - *WoodBlueprints. Com* It is an awesome exclusive guide for building better sheds and woodworking without the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my mate at very last got astronomical success with it.?
Great job on the build 👍
Easy Work
good video!
Enjoyed this build, starting my custom shed in a week or two :) Got some good advice from this
love that you didn't edit out the camera tipping. subscibed
Hi just one point ,tin roofs have purlins and they go the other way to the direction of the tin ,not a bad diy job
Awesome 👌🏼
nice channel📸
Simply lovely to see this project start to finish. Industrious, economical and innovative with fabulous concise commentary.
Thank you Pat
4.20 More haste less speed, but well adapted, enjoyed the video.
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.
Hi...why did you not make it higher then 2.2 meters/ 7ft 2" at the front? are you allowed to make it higher, just under 2.5meters?
Regards pete.
esti bun omule
Jus come across your CZcams videos and subscribed. good quality work. Are you a tradesman of some sort or jus a real enthusiastic worker? U have good knowledge and tools. I am training to be a joiner and carpenter. I can relate to your shed build as I was digging out the foundations of my shed, and hitting clay, mixed hardcore. back breaking work.
+scott mclean thank you! I'm just an amateur, it's a hobby
Impressive hobbiest
good job man! i want to do the same for workshop
Because you dried the timber out and screwed the shiplap once the cold and wet gets to those boards because you've used screws and not pinned it the boards will split and break. Screws won't move nail/pins do.
It’s been 4 years, and it’s fine
I think you might have got the bracing the wrong way round on your mini tool/bike shed's doors. Think it's supposed to go from the top of the unhinged side to the bottom of the hinged side. Probably so light it doesn't matter but thought I'd mention it in case you got some sagging.
great video thanks for posting. anyone can sit in an armchair and say how to do it different or better while you are cracking on and getting on with it.
Nice job but a mains powered drill in the rain is asking trouble
Good try mate, however I would have done it differently- example drywall screws are for plaster board
You sound like you could be in that group The Streets
I like the use of reclaimed materials... but if you were going for cost effectiveness why not use nails instead of bolts? did you already have them lying around
How many meters of shiplap did you use for this build? Thanks
Did you consider caulking the end grain of the claddings?
drywall screws will rust quick and snap.
+naveed khan it's been 2 and a half years and they're fine
When you did a breeze block wall can i ask why you didn't put a flat concrete bed to sit them onto also big thanks giving me the go to for making me wanna do a shed now instead on buying 1
Excellent! How do you make the tongue and groove joint for the external walls? tank you
For now, I think that Woody Hyezmar is still giving his Woodworking Bible to those who are interested. Just though I’d mention it.
Nice job but clearly your mate isn’t a spark as I’ve never seen anyone strip t&e like that 😂
Jordan I thought the same. He's either an amateur or just a bit wet behind the ears?
make a jig to cut feather boards
What the heck kind of riving knife is that that won't stay below the blade's peak? I've not seen one like that before.
Could you tell us about the foundations and how you decided how to do them There seem to be so many options.
+Alistair Dymock I'm no expert but the options that I had were: get a concrete slab laid professionally or lay some paving slabs on some sand and try and get them all level with each other. I couldn't do the first option by myself/inexpensively so I went for the second option. I didn't want to use pressure treated wood as over a lot of time it will rot eventually whereas concrete won't.
Makes sense. I guess breeze blocks (like in your retaining wall) work the same as paving slabs by raising it off the ground? I think you could have done a concrete slab yourself seeing how handy you are! The third option seems to be concrete strip foundations that go around the outer perimeter and in the centre if it's a large outbuilding. I'm trying to decide between the three. One thing I did note was that you didn't use a damp proof membrane between the paving slabs and the floor joists, any particular reason for this?
I really love this video, helps to see every step, no wonder it's so popular. Last question, for the timber frame on Sketchup is that a special plugin or what? Thanks Mr Brown!
+Alistair Dymock I did lay some strips of damp proof plastic between the slabs and the joists but not a complete cover over the whole area, and a few people have already indicated that I didn't do it correctly. So far though I've had no issues with it (it's been 2 years) so hope it will be ok and I don't plan on living here forever, (mainly because I want a bigger workshop!) SketchUp is available to download for free for home users and it's pretty easy to get the hang of using it. Not sure what you mean by plug in? The rendering etc is all included in the software. Definitely recommend trying it. Thanks
Sounds good enough to last well after you move. I think the plugin I mentioned is called housebuilder but obvs you didn't use it. Thanks for the advice
I'm actually wondering whether it was the right thing to do to keep good ventilation under the joists, maybe a DPM would hinder this. I'd love to know the answer.
Good video mate but where I come from in Scotland, the local Council stipulate that any shed's should be erected 500mm away from any boundary to enable maintenance. How are you going to treat the walls next to your neighbours fence? Just a thought!
+William Brown thanks. I don't think I'll need to treat it as it's sheltered from the weather by my neighbours shed and now has guttering around it too. I don't plan on living here forever anyway.
One question... why did you put the hinge screws exposed to "unwanted guests"?? Or am I looking from a wrong angle? The whole project is simply inspirational to watch. Thanks for sharing.
I'll be honest I hadn't even given it a second thought but now you mention it it is something I'd like to change. How do I mount it without screw heads though? Using bolts perhaps? Hmmm thanks for getting me thinking!
Rag 'n' Bone Brown Coach Bolts duder!
+Rag 'n' Bone Brown ' burglar proof screws' is the item you need , clever item.
the music is so terrible...
Nice build, but overkill on the frame and a mistake on using drywall screws with pressure-treated lumber. The copper-sulfate in the pressure-treated wood will react with the untreated screws and cause them to corrode clean through. So when the ship-lap (very nice touch) starts popping loose, use double dipped galvanized or treated deck screws to re-attach.
Nice video content! Excuse me for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you heard the talk about - Mahorrla Wooden Paradise Method (do a google search)? It is a great exclusive product for building better sheds and woodworking without the headache. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my mate at very last got cool success with it.
He’s right about the drywall screws. They should not be used for any exterior work. In fact they should not be used for anything but drywall.
Great job mate but it looks like your gate will smack into your window.
Nice job mate and well done its good to see some one having a go office worker or not there are plenty of trades people out there who couldn't do any better.
Just as a little tip it might have been an idea to lay your blocks on a bed of concrete in your slit trench as opposed to back filling and laying just on the soil it may move when it rains and gets very wet, just an observation pal not a dig at your attempt. How much do recon it has cost you
+Mr Dee cost explained in part 3, thanks
Yep sorry I didn't finish watching before opening Gob
Hi mate, good job can i ask hows that shiplap holding up as im near finishing mine.
u got alot of crack in that small garden nice vid
Nice shed. Dado saw blades are illegal in the U.K. anyway..
what?? crazy...why?
Because the floor isn't covered with breathable membrane will moisture rise up and cause a damp issue in the shed and rot it? I want to build a shed around 5m x 3m, my friends say I need to put a concrete base in, not quite sure what to do yet
It’s been 4 years and I’ve not had any issues with rot
one of the mosrt amaateurish bloke presentashuns ecer
One of the most badly spelt comments ever
Love it!! But why didn't you just use brad nails to nail on the ship lack instead of screws?
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
Interesting video! In the spring, we also want to begin to build a similar building for the workshop. ))

nice build, what table saw you using? :)
This shed looks gray. Is it?
Great video. Are you certain that retaining wall is OK though? You do need to be really careful when supporting compacted soil that is on a gradient. I saw you backfilled it the other side but the lawn side will be much higher density. Hope it was checked by a builder anyways. Liked your other projects too.
Thank you. It seems fine, pretty solid and no issues so far. I didn't get it checked by anyone
OK. It's just I have read you do need to be very careful with walls retaining earth. From the vid it's hard to see how much 'retaining' it will be doing. If you have a heavy snowfall for instance when it melts you will have a large volume of water heading downhill. I saw you used dense blocks but the length is the issue, if you look at garden walls they always have a buttress element every few feet. Also were there foundations? Soil can move very rapidly when on a gradient. Hope I'm wrong anyway.
Your table saw won’t accept a dado stack? I have the same saw and an old wobble blade my dad left when he passed, been thinking of giving it a go.
No tablesaws in the EU are not set up for dado blades, not allowed here
Didnt fancy sealing the windows?
So nice , what is the size of the framing wood 5*7cm or biger ?
5cm x 7.6cm but it doesn't have to be that size
9:44 woodpecker :)
Great series of videos...I'm chronicalling my build on my channel. I dont have the same woodworking skills as you seem to have. Do you think screwed and glued butt joints will be strong enough for framing? Thanks
+Dad Diaries hi, thanks. I'll check out your channel. Butt joints will be absolutely fine I'm sure, as that's how most framing is done anyway. If I were to build again I'd probably do it differently as my framing is overkill!
Rag 'n' Bone Brown thanks for the reply. Ok that's good to hear as I'm not sure I could do joinery at this stage! How have you found the whole build having used it? Any chance of a follow up vid?
Can I ask, why not a simple felt roof? I ask because I'm deciding what to do with my build
+Giulio Lanny at the time I liked the idea of having something more permanent and I didn't want the hassle of re felting (tricky to reach) however in hindsight I think it may have been a better option due to the condensation issues experienced with the metal sheets
Just come across your channel. 👍 Is there a video on your small shed construction? Thanks in anticipation of a reply.
Guys I am learning woodworking shed plans at *WoodBlueprints. Com* I recommend this website all you guys who are beginner or advance in woodworking
hi. I am planning on holding a shed/workshop in my small garden. Can you tell me how big your workshop is please. I'm feet and inches of possible. thanks
Hi
thanks for your really useful videos. interested to know if you need a qualified elecrician to put electrics in your new shed. thanks
+Tim Ward yes I believe so
Yep - now a legal requirement
Gate opens onto window
Nice job! I like the fact that you glued the frame joints. Will make it much stronger. And great attention to detail! :)
can i use any kinds of woods
Drywall screws are cheap, but they will rust out fast in the weather. Bad choice, bud.
5 years later and they're still absolutely fine
4" retaining wall not ideal, hope you allowed for drainage.
I got his full name spelled wrong, it’s actually Woody Hyezmar, who was about to sell his collection of woodworking plans but now is giving it for free on his website!
Won't the drywall screws rust though?
been looking for a solution to my condensation in metal roof too. did u jus use the adhesive to stick the polystyrene sheets direct to metal? I'm going to do my wood shed too so would the adhesive hold to the timber too dya know? thanks
+scott mclean yes directly to the metal. I'm sure it would work but avoid solvent adhesives as they'll melt the polystyrene. Good luck!
Thank ;-)
I'm gonna have nightmares about that bass line in the music....

Hi I'm about to make my own shed similar to yours do you have any plans for it or any idea where I can get some cheers
when i built our shed i used a plan from *WoodBlueprints. Com* and it had all the blueprints, supplies, materials, and list well laid out for me.
What program are you using to plan your shed?
18g nailer would’ve helped .
A joiner using it would of helped more, but hey ho!
nice shed mate but first, you shouldn't drill pilot holes for nails as they will pull out in time. second, you didn't need to bolt the walls together, yes it will add extra strength and rigidity but its over kill. and last please invest in a nail gun. I bet it took ages to put your cladding on using a pilot bit and screws. anyway, looks good just a bit overkill in places.
I hate to bring it up but how much did this build cost?
Details are In final video (part 3)
thats pretty cool man, what design software did you use?
Trimble SketchUp. It's free for home users. Thanks, Keith
Keith Brown Is that easier to use than googles version?
It is Google's version... Trimble bought them out I think
Nice workshop build. So what if some of your methods were overkill, as long as you're happy that's all that matters...
+Smudgie33 thank you!
Damn that music is so catchy
Hey, talk with Woody Hyezmar, or you can at least download his free plans. If you're starting out that's a way to go about it.
Sure sounds like a digitech trio pedal.
