I watched Wrangerstar from the start. I loved it. Then he seemed to get caught up in all the hype of RUclips. Don't be that guy. I love your down to earth style. Don't let the RUclips money ruin your style. Thanks for your videos.
WC4DOOR I was having a tough time putting my finger on what was different. I think you've nailed it on the head. He's built a platform. A really strong one at that. Now he's using it to preach from periodically. I'm not turned off because of it, but I've noticed. Well put.
I've watched a few wranglerstar videos and imo he's okay. Your channel is simply fascinating. Every time I watch one of your videos I think "this will have no relevance to me but it's interesting" and then a week later I find myself using those tips and tricks you've described. Everything from the circular saw tips, to the tape measure tricks and even the square vs round stake, this is what keeps me coming back to your channel, not some hypothetical zombie survival tools! Keep them up! And a big thank you to the camera man/editor also!
I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ruclips.net/user/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.
I grew up in the country, but when I got married I made the mistake of buying a house in town. I can’t wait to get a house in the country again, Lord willing. I love the freedom to build what I want and not have to worry about what neighbors think about it.
I really wish that we understood, that we really don't own property, we actually are renting, as whe we stop paying, it reverts. I don't have a problem with that, but what I do have a problem with is the idea that a person an own some of the earth, and in extension, that a govrment can own what ever it owns. but I guess. don't get me started
@@theopiner402 I feel your pain, did the same thing and bought a condo as it's all we could afford. We finally bought a house and I'll never have another condo or belong to an HOA!!!!
I had a house in a HOA, it wasn't ruled by power hungry retirees but it was still a HOA. No satellite dishes at the front of property unless painted to match the house. No sheds in side yards, only backyards and no higher than the fence line (6 feet), plus 5 foot setbacks. Any changes to the outside needed approval, including the backyard, and so on. I loved the house, loved the neighborhood but hated getting angry letters from the HOA over ridiculous stuff like forgetting to put the trash bins inside 1 morning late. HOA never ever again. Even if they don't appear to be a bad HOA still NEVER AGAIN
I subscribed last week and have binged watched just about every video in the meantime. I still can't decide if this guy is like a Harvard economics professor or something and he is fooling us all into thinking he is tradesmen. His presentation skills are that good. Either way, this guy is the ultimate American badass and these videos for me, are the perfect mix of tradition, history, and craftsmanship. The spicy memes and the great music are nice touches too. Thank you guys for providing such entertainment.
sir I'm 33 years old I've been in the welding industry since I was 17. I appreciate a good tradesmen busy at work, and you sir are damn good at what you do. thank you for taking the time to video and give us these gems of information
I have yet to see a video from Essential Craftsman that was not impressive and educational. I grew up around construction. I've been in the trades my whole life. I still learn several valuable steps to save time and effort in every video. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
I like these comments cause my Dad is just like this channel. I have yet to tell my dad how much I appreciate how much he has taught me. Much of what this man taught me is what I have learned from my past on Dad.
Super fun watching the videos. I was brought up digesting all of these tricks. Being a 4th gen craftsman and still working with my father on Maui. We do concrete to furniture and everything in-between. We own 2 Burke Bars. Stanley fat max all the way. Skill brand worm drive,(no backwards saws). Hitachi if you want to shoot a nail. Stabila levels always true and the string does not lie. Great to see all of it. Another good trick for production work for double fascia with angled rip cuts. Use Vise gripes on the nose of the saws table, set like a mini fence. thanks for the videos. cant wait to see what other neat trick are to come.
I appreciate what you share through your videos. I didn't get a chance to learn a whole lot from my father and quite a few of these 'tricks' and considerations were lost.
Thanks Dad!... As Dads this is just what we do for our Children! I have a HOA house in San Tan Valley..Never again will I buy a house where an HOA is present ....
I am 71 and a retired GC, in residential, I did custom homes one at a time, for 40+ years,not multiple builds. It is rewarding to see our generation work ethics still practiced. I see the new mind set in our trades with the it's good enough attitude and it is sad, there are very few profeesional minded CRAFTSMAN left in the trades. Stay safe and keep up the good work.
HOA's have their place, namely communities where homes are packed closely. Imagine your neighbor building a dirt bike track in their backyard, or the neighbor that doesn't landscape and has 5-foot tall weeds in their yard,or neighbor with a permanent blue tarp on their leaky roof... Your home is instantly devalued by about 25% just living next to the neighbor from hell.
Nobody with all the negative s*** I hear of HOA is doing how come nobody's ever went semi-automatic on them. I mean like assholes need to be put in their place who the f*** died and left them in charge. I'll never live in an HOA controlled residence. If I did my pickaxe handle would be my walking cane. Has anybody ever seen the movie Walking Tall.
When my sons were young, I had them tear apart an old shed - cedar lap siding - and we reused the material to build a larger one. As a lesson, I bought the material from them they salvaged. I wanted them to appreciate a clean, civilized demo process. They had a lot of fun with it.
I agree with the person below that made some comparison between your brilliant channel and the glory days of Wranglerstar (a few years ago, now). You're making amazing content and I thoroughly enjoy each video! Keep it up!
I was about to ask you to explain the sight measuring (scribing) that you do with your experience. Your framing pro-tips video came on next in my queue. I appreciate your gift.
Love all of your videos. I fell into an essential craftsman/cy swan rabbit hole one day awhile back. I like the two-by as a screed, but I use a 4' level, so I get my pitches dead on the strings or ribbons. Just a thought. You've taught me so much, and it's much appreciated and I've turned my buddies onto yourself and Cy. Keep it up brother, Boston loves it! God bless✌
My grandpa and I built a shed on our property in town, it was made of pallets, lots of dirty looks to it, but it was a shed and did its purpose. I thought it was the least sturdy thing I'd ever seen but by the time we left that home I had a bye bye bonfire with about 15 friends, and we tried to tear it down for more wood, with no luck. If the new owners hadn't tore it down I'd think it would have outlived me.
I know i shouldn't be but I'm jealous of your skill and knowledge. Wonderful project. If the privacy wall was higher the building could have been taller. It makes me really glad I live in the country. R
So glad i found this channel, certainty amazing all the great content u are providing. make more vides plz i have watched all the existing ones all ready lol. Being a carpenter myself, plus my mechanical and blacksmithing interests. Make your channel very appealing, thanx and keep up all the great hard work.
Essential Craftsman I guess by now you're back home and not here in AZ. getting our way too early hundred degree temps! Not looking forward to the summer!
every things looks good , But I question the die-angle on the door should it not go the other way as to carry the load to the hinged side ? not a heater its just a question
Great content. I know you are working away from your tool crib.I saw that you used a stapler to fasten the shingles. I am curious to hear your thoughts of a staple gun vs a ring shank coil nailer for shingles and/or a staple gun for sheathing. Maybe a video idea?
Essential Craftsman Hey great video! I have a theory about the staples, I've torn off several roofs over the years that had the shingles stapled down and when the shingles are new and pliable the staples may hold as well as a roofing nail but when they get some age and brittleness to them they seem to pop off the staples easier than the nails. Just a theory. Love your channel!
really good video. I had a question though about the flashing along the back walls. Did you use some adhesive or caulk to prevent water from running down behind them? Thanks for your time.
the door has what looks like a support, but i believe it should be from the top outside corner to the bottom inside corner. unless it is a decorative piece?
I have 2 questions. What did you use to nail down the shingles? the only shingle nailers I have used(or seen) use coils, and that did not look like a coil nailer. And, that being in Arizona did you just get lucky on weather for not having a sunny day that would soften your shingles so bad you couldn't be on the roof without destroying them? (I live in canada, did my House and Garage roofs over 4 days in may and it got hot enough that we started leaving footprints)
Great stuff as always. Noticed you shingled all the way up first, and then went to the next section over and went up as well. Are there advantages to doing it this way as opposed to going course by course across the whole length?
Informative video! The roof peak seems to be in line with the top of the fence, so I'm assuming a restriction is preventing you from building higher, but as a somewhat tall person I couldn't help but cringe. In cases like this where you want more height, but are restricted, is it worth digging into the ground? (Perhaps its too cost-prohibitive?)
I watched Wrangerstar from the start. I loved it. Then he seemed to get caught up in all the hype of RUclips. Don't be that guy. I love your down to earth style. Don't let the RUclips money ruin your style. Thanks for your videos.

Wranglerstar....not a fan
If wranglestar titled his videos in anyway that made sense adn made his content usable
I'd like him a lot better

How gracious of the HOA to let you guys build something on your own property!
I grew up in the country, but when I got married I made the mistake of buying a house in town. I can’t wait to get a house in the country again, Lord willing. I love the freedom to build what I want and not have to worry about what neighbors think about it.

If we all had you for a dad, we all would be good, well adjusted independent individuals!
Great comment, greater sentiment : ) Well said !
I'm not sure about that. If we were all his son's that would paint a very different moral picture ;-) I still love my brothers though!
I like these comments cause my Dad is just like this channel. I have yet to tell my dad how much I appreciate how much he has taught me. Much of what this man taught me is what I have learned from my past on Dad.
In hindsight, I wish I could… Do it now and use this video for the inspiration.
Son... is that you?

This is y I subscribed no long talk just strait to the point and done .... I'm waiting on ur next video
This channel is so genuine and gets down to brass tacks, love it.
America, the land of the Free, the home of the Brave.
Well, that's until HOA arrives.
HOA's have their place, namely communities where homes are packed closely. Imagine your neighbor building a dirt bike track in their backyard, or the neighbor that doesn't landscape and has 5-foot tall weeds in their yard,or neighbor with a permanent blue tarp on their leaky roof...

Has anybody ever seen the movie Walking Tall.
Nobody yeah, don't go there.
fun fact: the land of the free has the biggest inmate population in the world
You can always tell a true expert! I just love all the tips and tricks you pass on. If only I could remember half of them!
Thank you for your videos. You are providing a quality of educational videos that has been missing since Larry Haun passed.
Places where I would live:
( ) HOAs
(x) Literally anywhere else
When my sons were young, I had them tear apart an old shed - cedar lap siding - and we reused the material to build a larger one. As a lesson, I bought the material from them they salvaged. I wanted them to appreciate a clean, civilized demo process. They had a lot of fun with it.
Honestly, I prefer videos where you are narrating or talking to us and teaching us something.
I'm pleasantly surprised at how often your tips apply to my steel-wrangling. Especially "scribe don't measure". Keep it up!
And I love the time laps video, It gives me motivation... Thank you..
always a pleasure to see a craftsman work.

I have learned so much from you’re channel. You’re a amazing builder !thank you
Nice, can't wait to see the video on the tool bags.
My grandpa and I built a shed on our property in town, it was made of pallets, lots of dirty looks to it, but it was a shed and did its purpose. I thought it was the least sturdy thing I'd ever seen but by the time we left that home I had a bye bye bonfire with about 15 friends, and we tried to tear it down for more wood, with no luck. If the new owners hadn't tore it down I'd think it would have outlived me.
Amazing job. I assume that one of the HOA restrictions was that the roofline of the shed could not be higher than the concrete fence
I know i shouldn't be but I'm jealous of your skill and knowledge. Wonderful project. If the privacy wall was higher the building could have been taller. It makes me really glad I live in the country. R
Thanks for the videos and for the most valuable information you provide. You are a true craftsman of the highest caliber.
Love your channel! Such great information and entertainment. Just wanted to give a big high five to the guy behind the camera as well. Peace!
I've been thinking about building a shed for storage and workspace. great timing, guys!
So glad i found this channel, certainty amazing all the great content u are providing. make more vides plz i have watched all the existing ones all ready lol. Being a carpenter myself, plus my mechanical and blacksmithing interests. Make your channel very appealing, thanx and keep up all the great hard work.
Nice look shed, I am planning a 12x20 garage build myself.
Your a joy to watch keep up the good work
Lucky you. Our HOA has a five foot setback rule...
These are really great videos. I'm building a tiny house with out a lot of help or experience and these videos are super helpful
I really like the music you play in the back ground of your videos
A lot of good information, nicely edited so the info doesn't ' drown' in longwinded chatter
God has blessed you with a good family, Scott.
Man that looks a lot like Arizona. Great looking shed.
Nice looking shed!
Master craftsman at his best.
I really like the music in this video!!
beautiful little shed!
wow, just incredible to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Love your videos! Especially the hints and tricks.
I could've watched it in real time, or all day for that matter, now I need to see if I can slow it down! ;-)
Thanks for sharing and take care.
Essential Craftsman
I guess by now you're back home and not here in AZ. getting our way too early hundred degree temps!
Not looking forward to the summer!
This is the greatest video I have ever seen!
I'm hoping for more videos, great content!
Also, excited for the tool pouch video?!
That was great! Keep the good work!
Add a sun-light makes it perfect !
Nice job remembering the blocking between the rafters. It pains me to see full sized structures without it.
If everyone wanted to be doctors and lawyers, there wouldn't be any cool dad that can built that so fast.
Love all your videos.
Came to the comments for the HOA hate. Was not disappointed.
Timelapses are fun too!
Bet their dog was pleased with their new house?
another EXCELLENT video Sir
Another good video, your content is always on point.
I desperately want to work for you. I think I would learn a lot. thank you for your videos
Probably more square, true and plumb than the house..ha. Am enjoying all of your videos.
Hey, I didn't get a chance to see the door installation. Do you think you could build another shed to demonstrate?
Great work, lookin' good.
HOA = Home Owner's Association
every things looks good , But I question the die-angle on the door should it not go the other way as to carry the load to the hinged side ? not a heater its just a question
Any videos describing how you attached that flashing against the wall? How does that connection get sealed?
Always enjoy your videos. Even the time lapse where you don't teach us anything.
Great content. I know you are working away from your tool crib.I saw that you used a stapler to fasten the shingles. I am curious to hear your thoughts of a staple gun vs a ring shank coil nailer for shingles and/or a staple gun for sheathing. Maybe a video idea?

2 days to do that, wow. Really really nice job.
You are an amazing man.
Awesome video !
very cool time lapse
really good video. I had a question though about the flashing along the back walls. Did you use some adhesive or caulk to prevent water from running down behind them? Thanks for your time.
the door has what looks like a support, but i believe it should be from the top outside corner to the bottom inside corner. unless it is a decorative piece?
I love all the cool videos!
Surprised to see that you didn't put any vapor barrier down before osb subfloor
That shed hurts my back just looking at it. At 6’4” I would have to kneel down to use it. Would you be able to excavate inside to give more headroom?
You got some tough knees, mine started hurting just watching
How is the flashing waterproofed against the CMU wall?
Another excellent video!
Great Vid. Did you fasten the roofing with crown staples? Doesn't look like you are using a roofing nailer.
That was fun...
That sure looks a lot like the Phoenix area.
Nice work
I have 2 questions. What did you use to nail down the shingles? the only shingle nailers I have used(or seen) use coils, and that did not look like a coil nailer. And, that being in Arizona did you just get lucky on weather for not having a sunny day that would soften your shingles so bad you couldn't be on the roof without destroying them?

:), thank you
great recap.
Thanks for the video! I learned a lot from watching
Really enjoyed this vid, so that’s why I comment saying i enjoyed this vid...!
@Stan Brackhage Well put!
Thank you, Scott. Excellent.
I’m so glad that we don’t have any HOAs in our country, even though I live in the countryside I have heard a lot of stories and it sounds horrible.
This thing is better built than my house.
Nice dog house!
Very clever!
I enjoy this!
I love your work
Informative video! The roof peak seems to be in line with the top of the fence, so I'm assuming a restriction is preventing you from building higher, but as a somewhat tall person I couldn't help but cringe. In cases like this where you want more height, but are restricted, is it worth digging into the ground? (Perhaps its too cost-prohibitive?)
very nice, gentlemen. I like
"HOA" stands for 'Hobbits of America'? That would match the height......
That's probably because of the HOA, I suppose
up in here in the frozen tundra of North Dakota we don't run starter strips to the roof peak. what is the purpose of this? I've never seen it before.
