Hi Karl, I have watched all the series of your workshop build, like you I am going to build a 20 foot by 10 foot workshop, I have also watched a lot of different ways to do it, but I think yours is the most reasonable way of doing it with the basic tools I have. I love the way you left in the mistakes you made, believe it or not, you learn more from what not to do, it is so easy in retrospect to say what you would have done differently. The end result looks great and I hope it serves you well for years to come. Thanks again Ian
Thank you Ian I appreciate that and I hope everything goes to plan, when I did the base I didn't have my joists lined up correctly for 8x4 plywood sheets as well so check your centres well mate, I'm pretty sure every 16 inches works but best to check. Also I had an issue with my windows because I didn't have cills installed and I did not realise these where necessary for drainage as the glass has a tiny gap allowing the water to drain through into and through the cills. I'm really happy this has helped you.
My workshop is really functional and I'm loving it as well Ian but still loads to do which is great because it's a ongoing hobby and keeps you occupied for years to come.
Really enjoyed these video's mate... Just about to get into my own build, whilst I several years in the building trade (bricky) years ago, I have a good knowledge of most things, but some of your tips and the whole video story is invaluable. The thing I need to get my head around is the power tools, I have just started buying them, after researching different makes and video channels...Thanks for sharing, I am about to watch them all again..will like them this time, I forgot the last couple of times. Take care and stay safe. Regards, Bryan
Thanks Bryan that's awesome, obviously my build is far from perfect but it definitely does the job. Oh and even though I did makeshift insulation it's working a treat, 5 mins of my stanley heater on and I'm boiling 😊
Been looking forward to this series. A very ambitious project for a novice. Pity the suspense is killed knowing now it worked out awesome... but still worth the watch!
Well you should of watched all the videos in order then you wouldn't have spoilt the ending 😂 you wouldn't of watched lord of the rings the wrong way round would you 🤣😂 Cheers mate🍻👍
karlpopewoodcraft 😀 I’ve got this idea in my head pal to build a ‘modular walled’ workshop. Idea is using 8x4’s OSB I’d build each unit individually over a period of time so the OSB would be the inner wall, line it with treated 3x2 and cut all the solid insulation to fit. Then when it comes to building, make a base as you did then attach the modules to each other, attach ceiling frame then clad modular walls and cover the roof. That way I can start building now (because it’ll take me ages) but assembly when I call in a few favours hopefully will be relatively short. Also (because I’m a long term tenant and not home owner) it could be taken down. All pie in the sky at the moment pal but that’s my plan😀
I'm been watching yours videos and want get into woodworking myself. Probably based on my space hand tools. What's the best way insulating a wooden shed to keep my work from warping and all other of things.
Air flow is probably the most important thing when it comes to keep the wood stable. Make sure you have good ventilation and possibly an integrated extraction fan.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Thanks very much for youre reply, where did you purchase your timber and what the sizes of your workshop, planning building one myself thanks
Hi Tom thank you for the comment. I'm afraid I don't however I highly recommend trying to calculate each stage of materials needed and I then added 10% sometimes I had some spare others I actually needed to order a little more. 🙂
Hi mate no I didn't as its less than 50% of my garden, however I had to check everything with the planning department at my local council and confirm I was within permitted development regs which I was. The council where happy that I was and cleared me to have the shed. 😊
About to do this myself, have a few questions if you don't mind boss. Hows the 2x4 base, any flex? Also do you have a rough estimate on the cost of the build overall and specifically the cladding you used? Great videos btw, love the family getting involved. Noticed the kieth brown glue bottle in there, top man! Cheers
Hi Lee thank you, I think the shell of the build was around £2330ish £500 on framing timber £650 on cladding £600 15mm ply for the roof, floor, wall, £200 electrics £50 felt, tounge and grove for the door £80 insulation £150 £100 screws nails bitumen bits and bobs And maybe a few bits here and there I've forgotten lol 😲
Oh the floor I did have a bit of a squeaking floor with a bit of flex so I put 15mm boards on top of the 18mm I already had down😩 worth it in the long run though I think.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Ace, thanks for the reply! Im in lancaster myself, you sound northern too? Did you use treated 3x2 for the frame or can you get away with normal c16 assuming it doesnt get wet?
@@Nov3lla00 I used C16 as I bought it from a reclaimed wood yard at a discount 😊 I'm sure untreated will be fine, but for the 4x2 on the slabs I definitely got treated as its always raining in Hull 😭

Good stuff Karl. Will work my way through your build series over the next week. Decided workshop will be happening this year😀
Oh excellent Leo a new workshop 😊. The videos are a little dodgy I think I've improved my editing skills since lol 😂

@@Hand-i-Craft sounds like a a really good idea Leo, it would be a really interesting series of videos as well.

Air flow is probably the most important thing when it comes to keep the wood stable. Make sure you have good ventilation and possibly an integrated extraction fan.
whats types of timber you use for the base joist and frames?
Treated 4x2 base, untreated 3x2 framework.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Thanks very much for youre reply, where did you purchase your timber and what the sizes of your workshop, planning building one myself thanks
Really enjoy watching your videos. Do you have a list of materials used? I’m planning a similar project and need a few pointers
Hi Tom thank you for the comment. I'm afraid I don't however I highly recommend trying to calculate each stage of materials needed and I then added 10% sometimes I had some spare others I actually needed to order a little more. 🙂
Great start mate 👍
Cheers Steve.
You deserve a lot more subs👍🏻 great work
Thank you:)
Nice job man. Quick question, being about 24 meters square, did you have to get planning permission as it’s within 1 meter of the boundary?
Hi mate no I didn't as its less than 50% of my garden, however I had to check everything with the planning department at my local council and confirm I was within permitted development regs which I was. The council where happy that I was and cleared me to have the shed. 😊
Oh one more thing the size of the shed is 15m Square. 😊

Hello Engin can you translate please?

I'm sure I put a link in the cladding video to the seller as well. Based in Doncaster.

Did you not put any DPM under it???
No
Great videos.. can i ask have you had any issues with the slabs sinking into the grass ?
Hi Stuart no not at all, and this year is the worst rain we have had in many. I'm no mathematician but it's down to the weight distribution. 😁😊💦
@@karlpopewoodcraft Thanks for that... saves poring concrete :-) all the best...
Also mate our ground is very gravely and I'd think twice if it was clay. 🤔
Obviously it's just the cheapest way of going about it hope this is of help Stuart.
@@karlpopewoodcraft Ill double check the ground here.. im sure it will be fine.. i like the easy way of doing it.. thanks for your help
how much $ was the whole build? and how much was framing 2x4's/plywood sheets
Hi mate, I think the shell of the build was around £2330ish £500 on framing timber £650 on cladding £600 15mm ply for the roof, floor, wall, £200 electrics £50 felt, tounge and grove for the door £80 insulation £150, £100 on screws nails bitumen bits and bobs
And maybe a few bits here and there I've forgotten lol
Hi, What type of treated 2x4s did you use for the base ?
Hi Just standard treated timber from a builder's merchant.
Bet your wifes not happy now youve blocked the sun from your nice deck lol
Haha its now a secret nook lol
But of a shit job squaring the base up
Haha cheers, awesome feedback 😂
