I love your delivery. No hype, no over excited acting. The home shows on TV are getting hard to watch. I liked your explanation of each type and I really liked the multi colored wall at the end. Nice work sir !
I use a lot of pegboard to cover large sections of wall. It looks great painted, it's cheap, and there are a million types of peg-related hooks, shelves and things you can store absolutely anything on them. And they're really strong. You can hang many hundreds or even thousands of pounds of stuff because it pulls directly down from the studs. And you can paint the pegboard whatever color you want.
love the Bcx plywood look with the stain. I would go with that option myself. I would also probably add a 4 foot steel veneer of some sort from the ground up. So when you’re moving toolboxes around etc, you don’t damage the walls.
New subscriber here. I have a multi purpose garage which is 24’ x 48’. The front has 2 stalls for cars. The back we build a Mother-in-Law apartment with full bath, no cooking. The other part is a DIY shop for wood working and potentially welding. My Dad and I put up OSB on the outside of the apartment years ago and I am adding more OSB walls in the shop now. My main purpose in this phase is to hang stuff on the wall from tools, equipment, and supplies. Oh I also have a bit of Coax and radio antenna parts to store. I have most of the OSB walls up in the shop and am looking for paining/priming ideas for OSB. My idea for paining is to lighten up the shop with a whitish color. Then with the new LED lighting it will assist in viewing the work. I have lots of ideas like dust collection, mini-split for shop among others. Thanks again for your video. All the best from North Texas!
Price be damned. I’m doing 3/4” bcx sanded. And I’ll be installing it like Kyle(RR Buildings)did in one of his builds. I dig that reddish look you have there.
Excellent presentation, covering all the important issues and benefits for each option. I have wanted to do plywood, now I understand what CDX plywood is, I am comfortable going with that. The closeup view of how each panel goes together tells me I should be able to get the effect without problematic issues with gaps. Thank you for sharing,
I don’t want drywall also because of potential water damage. no OSB FOR ME EITHER BECAUSE OF THE VOC and other toxic fumes, going with exterior plywood paneling sheets.
Thanks for this video! I'm looking for info to finish my shed. Very inspiring! Will likely go with the least expensive option in the drywall but make one wall with the slat wall-i never knew such a thing existed! Both aesthetically pleasing and functional!
Really nice job on your video! Like someone else mentioned, I think your delivery is very clear and easy to follow. I am finishing up with building our 4 car garage now. We used pewter gray steel for the upper siding for the exterior and textured black wainscoting on the ground level. I will probably go with a combination of materials for the interior. Perhaps metal siding along with sheet rock and slat wall. It’s been a long process doing it all myself and dealing with skyrocketing prices for plywood and framing lumber. But I have learned a lot and my son will have a great place to spend time working on his car and motorcycle.
Good morning Sir, Great informative video 👍 Very nice red tractor Sir 🧐😊👍 Your geese are great watch dogs 😊 You have great various works spaces Sir and a great carpenter 😊👍 Keep warm Sir Cheers !!!
Thanks Dave. That Farmall belongs to my father-in-law. And now that I moved out of his back garage his got a nice little tractor man cave back there. 😊 Cheers!
Awesome video T1-11 Siding on the inside, strong and cheaper than sanded ply. I went with 5/8's which is probably over kill. 40 a sheet and 3/8 is 27 a sheet.
Thanks for the ideas! I’m going to have a new woodworking shop the end of April and have been thinking about how to finish the walls. Because of cost I will go with wallboard. Your idea of staining thin strips of plywood is a great idea!! Maybe I’ll do that down the road. The only thing you didn’t cover is which materials would help insulate the most.
Nice shop you have! Too nice to accomplish messy jobs in there! So you will have to buy new tractors! Lol! I can see there is a lot of time involved getting there! Thanks!
Thanks Joe. I afraid to set anything on my new workbench top. It turned out so nice but I know sooner or later I'll have a slid a greasy engine part on it. 😂
I was looking for a finished look with a French cleat system, which would be tolerant to dust and scrapes. I don’t think paint alone would be sufficient. I was thinking plywood with for formica/laminate with French cleat system. I’ve also use stainless steel for cabinet faces, which worked really well, but obviously cost prohibitive.
Sheetrock on the walls and ceiling for Fire Protection. I like the OSB walls, but I think I would opt to put sheetrock on my FAB shop walls first to help prevent fire travel. Great video!
First let me say I know 'nothing' about carpentry. I've been watching 'a lot' of RUclips videos and yours was the most informative. I just purchased a 16' x 20' metal shed to use as a sewing/craft/She Shed, I am having it insulated with spray foam (so expensive!). I was wondering about going with paneling/beadboard instead of drywall. I'm thinking it would cheaper but I'd like to know what you think of this type of material and if it's easy to put up and or worth it.
Getting ready to build a garage and really liked your video. Gave me some good ideas. One wall will be at least half pegboard to hang things on. I think I'm going to take your advice on using sheetrock for the ceiling and walls. Building a garage on a budget the inside walls may come in later.
Metal has been suggested to me. I guess I need to add horizontally 2 * 4 to mount to metal ridges vertical unless I mount the metal horizontally right onto my stud. That you didn't mention or discuss
Do not use fiber mesh or fiber what ever. There is a reason why all the pros use paper. If you have a problem getting air bubbles it’s because your pulling to much mud out when tapping. Apply a thick even line over the joint place your tape start in the middle hold your taping knife at a 45 degree angle with a slight pressure and pull the knife outwards. Then go back to the middle and pull to the other wall. And leave it alone. Or you can go back over it with a thin coat with mud. If you still get a bubble that’s ok cut a line through the bubble. Take some mud mix some glue with it and apply a little over the bubble that bubble won’t ever lift again
In my detached workshop (about 50m2/540ft2) I have OSB 12mm (1/2") over the studs then a layer of impregnated sheetrock. Seems the best of both. I don't mind the look of OSB but I want some fire protection.
Good video. I'm in the process of starting to finish my pole barn. I'm putting 1/2" ply in the ceiling. Is your BCX 1/2" or 5/8"? I'm thinking of going with 5/8" so I can hang pretty much anything on the wall, within reason of course. Thank you
Great video..very informative...Can you please advise that garage wall require insulation or not.its drywall..need to store winter clothes..shoes and other staf..Thanks in advance..
Great video, thanks! I just purchased an existing detached shed, 52x30, cement floor with drain. One interior side is done with 6" fiberglass insulation, 4 mil plastic, and 7/16" OSB. I'm going to finish the rest of it myself (well, once OSB prices go down!!) but just wanted to see if that combination seems correct to you. Also, should I go with OSB for the ceiling or go with drywall or something else? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!! Thanks again.
Great Video what do you think about pegboard for one wall I just had my car porch built in and a garage door and a walk out door in the rear. I only have one long wall. I was thinking about the pegboard on that wall and maybe another option for the smaller area. Already has a ceiling
Thanks Victor, pegboard sure is a good option that I didn't cover. The only thing with pegboard is it's kinda flimsy being only 1/4" thick. It also won't be able to hold as much weight as say the t-slot panels. Depending on your intended use it could work out just fine.
Do you or any viewers have any suggestions for my shop? I'm building a 30 x 40 x 12. I am going to be insulating it and possibly running a ductless AC Heat unit. I may in the future convert 12 x 30 into a motel room style bunkhouse for RUclips collaborations and AirBnB income. I believe for code I will need a double drywall wall from floor to roof dividing the sleeping quarters. So I have been leaning total drywall, 5/8 drywall with 5/8 plywood, or drywall and steel. I am disabled so I can only do lower 8ft. with plywood the rest will be hired. Any suggestions, costs?
Is plywood safe for a metal workshop? I want to do plywood but I know metal sparks from the grinder and sparks from the mig welder will eventually hit the plywood? Great vid brother.
I have those same reservations. I have a grinder that I will mount next to the wall. My plan is get a sheet of galvanized to put on the wall right there and down to the floor. I am not worried about sparks bouncing off the wood so much, but more of a large glowing chunk of metal landing on the floor under the edge of the plywood.
@@CountryFamily I wonder if you slid thin steel C channel under the bottom of the plywood panel if that would stop molten globs from rolling under the plywood edge. Basically a steel baseboard.
@@JeepArmyUSA Use corrugated metal sheets so far up the wall as a wainscot in the area where you will be doing most your welding and grinding. Painting the plywood is going to help also.
Diamond plate aluminum sheets maybe used as wainscoting then plywood for upper walls. Also, there's fireproof spray foam and other coatings on the market to seal the seam between floor and ply.
Getting ready to build our retirement home w a large 3 bay garage, thinking about vintage brick veneer, black frame windows & on the surface electrical outlets, stamped floors, wood plank ceiling, going for a vintage 1920's auto dealership garage. Your opinion?
What thickness of plywood for the walls would be appropriate? While 3/4" would be strong, it seems overkill in most casts. For just for coverage, couldn't you as easily use 1/2", 3/8" -- or even 1/4" -- especially if the objective is appearance just to cover the studs and insulation?
How about sheet rock only on the bottom 1/2 of the wall with scrap plywood on the top half to be able to screw things into it. AFTER l put up the rock wool insulation. Any thoughts...?
There is formaldehyde in most plywoods and OSB. Some people are more sensitive to it. I think painting or finishing it helps as does time. The formaldehyde gasses off over time. There are other places in most homes with exposed ply or OSB such as basement I-joists and ply wood subfloor that is exposed on the bottom side. I would encourage you to do some more research if it is a concern.
I’m looking to stain some plywood siding just like yours and love the way it turned out. I’m struggling to find the shade of stain that looks like your on pine wood boards.
Unless your building needs reinforcement, using wood panelling is kind of pointless for a shop. It's best to use free stand shelving, racks and cabinets to properly store tools and heavy equipment. Prettiness is for guys who want to show off and drink beer while doing oil changes. Nothing wrong with that, but real workshops don't look like that, with exception to needing some insulation for winter.
I love your delivery. No hype, no over excited acting. The home shows on TV are getting hard to watch. I liked your explanation of each type and I really liked the multi colored wall at the end. Nice work sir !
I gonna use hardie plank over the top of 3/4 ply or OSB in some places. Look like shiplap but will have some fire protection.

As someone who knows nothing about construction thank you for giving options and weighing pros and cons. Thumbs up
Like your different options , I used drywall on the lower half and knotty pine tongue and groove in the upper half
Great video. I like how you gave all the price comparisons and pros/cons. Thank you!
Price be damned. I’m doing 3/4” bcx sanded. And I’ll be installing it like Kyle(RR Buildings)did in one of his builds. I dig that reddish look you have there.
this BCX Plywood looks great man. I like yout taste. Thanks for the video. Greetings from BC
I use a lot of prefinished birch ply for cabinet boxes ($35-40/sht) looks great as a wall covering between upper and lower cabinets
Hello! I came across your channel searching for homesteading. I have subscribed and look forward to watching your videos. Nice to meet you.

Loved it. Plywood
I don’t want drywall also because of potential water damage. no OSB FOR ME EITHER BECAUSE OF THE VOC and other toxic fumes, going with exterior plywood paneling sheets.
OSB with paint. both shop and garage. worked good for my needs.
I appreciate that he gives you some price comparisons. Great Video.
Nice job. I would add French Cleats to this list made out of Baltic birch
Thanks for this video! I'm looking for info to finish my shed. Very inspiring! Will likely go with the least expensive option in the drywall but make one wall with the slat wall-i never knew such a thing existed! Both aesthetically pleasing and functional!

Good wall finishing choices.
This is a great video. Im slowly upgrading my workshop and really appreciate the info
Nicely done

show how you cut out your electrical box's with a smooth clean cut!

What kind of stain on the bcc plywood? Great video!
This helped me out alot to figure out my situation. Thanks
Sheetrock on the walls and ceiling for Fire Protection. I like the OSB walls, but I think I would opt to put sheetrock on my FAB shop walls first to help prevent fire travel. Great video!
Yes good point. Especially if it's an attached garage 5/8" fire rated drywall is a requirement to separate the garage from living space.
Oh! That Farmall!
Keep it up with the great info and thanks for your time in making the video

Exterior boards from torn down old barn will do, provided you can find one not worthwhile to fix up.
I am looking at using yellow tongue flooring in Australia. About $14 per sq meter but it is 19mm thick .
Thank you for sharing. / Texas Tony
Thank you, very good info.
great video
I’m curious about the trusscore pvc and slot wall vinyl panels. Looks like priced similar to drywall but easy setup I guess

Go with the metal. Easier to keep clean or clean, never have to paint it and not easily damaged is what made me go that way.

Yes good point. If this was attached to a house it would require 5/8" drywall as a fire retardant between the house and garage.

Great video! On the OSB option wouldn’t it be cheaper to put a heavy duty wallpaper on it instead of 3 layers of expensive primer and paint?
Thx
Great suggestion!
nice video
3/8" plywood with 2" foam underneath so I can blow in cellulose without bowing between the studs. Thanks, I'm going to stain it.
Geese wanted to be in the video😆
Great video..very informative...Can you please advise that garage wall require insulation or not.its drywall..need to store winter clothes..shoes and other staf..Thanks in advance..
In your plywood garage the cabinets, what did u use for the panels for the doors. Just built my 24x24 wanted and really like them cabinets.
Do you mean the red doors? That is leftover steel roofing. I think there's a build video on my channel
What do you think about using RevolutionPly underlayment? It’s only 1/4” but smooth, same price as mould resistant drywall and looks good.
Great video, thanks! I just purchased an existing detached shed, 52x30, cement floor with drain. One interior side is done with 6" fiberglass insulation, 4 mil plastic, and 7/16" OSB. I'm going to finish the rest of it myself (well, once OSB prices go down!!) but just wanted to see if that combination seems correct to you. Also, should I go with OSB for the ceiling or go with drywall or something else? Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!! Thanks again.
🤔 Interior wall covering for the shop. Hmmm. Let's reference Ed Gein.
Geese: "If you like our content, please hit like and subscribe. Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain."
OSB is like 53 bucks per sheet now. Here in Canada. Plus tax of course.

I think 1/2" is best. strong enough not to bow between studs and thick enough to hold screws well to hang stuff up.
This was very informative. Did You have any issues hanging the osb with drywall screws?
No issues, they work really well. I hung the OSB in that garage probably 15 years ago and everything is holding up great.
How about cement board in garage for better fire rating.
How about sheet rock only on the bottom 1/2 of the wall with scrap plywood on the top half to be able to screw things into it. AFTER l put up the rock wool insulation. Any thoughts...?
Sounds like a good plan.
I used T1-11 on my walls in my shop. The ceiling is open.
I cried a little when he was quoting prices for OSB and Plywood
I know. I just saw that 1/2" ply is now $77 a sheet. If I was doing this now, I'd have to go with drywall.
Osb is 17.00 where I live now
$10 now. Dropped at Home Depot this week
You forgot to mention a pandemic to change prices ;)
Does osb have glue in it that has hazardous off gasses? Doesn’t plywood? Or does sealing or painting take care of that?
There is formaldehyde in most plywoods and OSB. Some people are more sensitive to it. I think painting or finishing it helps as does time. The formaldehyde gasses off over time. There are other places in most homes with exposed ply or OSB such as basement I-joists and ply wood subfloor that is exposed on the bottom side. I would encourage you to do some more research if it is a concern.
What about cement hardi board lap siding for being fire proof.
Great suggestion.
where can you buy the woodcore slatwall product. all i see is really expensive pvc stuff, thank you!
Menard's has it.
Ok video but nothing mentioned about fire ratings or FRP.
What is the size of the workshop desk at @6:16? Thank you.
Is there no way to cover the seams on the osb? Like paintable caulking?
That would work well.
From the title alone, my opinion is:
Posters and calendars of beautiful women holding tools and wearing tight clothing.
1940s and 50s classic pin ups! I like the way you think. Mixed of course with posters of classic muscle cars and tin gas station signs.
What color did you stain it?
I’m looking to stain some plywood siding just like yours and love the way it turned out. I’m struggling to find the shade of stain that looks like your on pine wood boards.
@CountryFamily
Drywall is more fire proof.
What are the chances of mold growing with the drywall? Great video!
It depends on if proper ventilation and if your space is heated/cooled. No mold if the work is done properly.
Unless your building needs reinforcement, using wood panelling is kind of pointless for a shop. It's best to use free stand shelving, racks and cabinets to properly store tools and heavy equipment. Prettiness is for guys who want to show off and drink beer while doing oil changes. Nothing wrong with that, but real workshops don't look like that, with exception to needing some insulation for winter.
lol osb is like $40 right now, its insane
Great video
