Build a Simple, Inexpensive, Outdoor Storage Shed with Basic Hand Power Tools.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 янв 2021
- Dad and I were in desperate need of additional storage for lawn mowers, garden equipment, outdoor stuff, bicycles and the like. After looking at what was offered at the big box stores we decided we could build bigger, better and cheaper and have it done before a "kit" could arrive. Plus the kits didn't include foundation leveling.
So with some basic hand power tools that also have cheap hand tool equivalents we build a foundation, floor, walls and ceiling which should last the life of the house and provide lots of space for junk. Tips and tricks throughout the video.

Very informative. Very well done. Lots of "make it faster and/or easier" things that I might not have thought of.
Thanks
@@wortheffort great job you sound like me I'm not the best but I do have common sense and know how to read a tape measure. LOL thank you
I have helped you build my house but not built a shed before. This video was very informative, thank you very much.
As a guy who's done lots of framing, I was going to pick this apart and eat you alive for it, but after watching it, I admire you. Not a fake bone in your body, and accepting the fact that you're not a pro, not trying to be, and having fun with a little project knowing it's not gonna be perfect, doesn't have to be, and you're happy with it. Respect 🤜🤛🍻
Same here. I appreciate his common sense approach. But it's only a 7 foot span, if he wanted to go super easy, just build a box, buy thicker rafter stock and cut a deeper bird's mouth. Roof pitch achieved.
Yeah I was about to do the same 😂 but the guy did a real good job
I wish my old man was still around. Pretty cool. I got a cpl sons they help me all the time
I felt the same way.
And having the opportunity to do it with his father!!!
To have your father around is a real gift from life. Enjoy him as much as you can. Greetings from Mexico.
Man!!! My pops is recovering from Covid right now. And I can't wait to hang out with him. One of the greatest gifts God has given me is a father. And I am greatful to God.
Es la verdad hermano.
You are so right. I lost my dad when I was just 32 years old. I'm 60 now, and I still miss him every day. When I was far too young to help him, dad did projects like this one while I watched and absorbed it like a sponge. This video shot me down memory lane with my dad, and I am grateful to you for that.
On a more relevant note, your project is terrific as it is one that most able bodied people could realistically accomplish by referring to your video as they go. Thank you for sharing this with us.
@@chrisshirley4877 I'm going to be 60 in Dec. and my father died when I around 35. I would love to take him out fishing with me, and have a few beers. My older brother died a little over a year ago when he was 59, and he loved to fish for Stealhead. It would of been great to have all 3 of us fish again together!
Follow up on that in your heart and in your mind my friend. I'm so sorry for your losses. I am currently dying of cancer, so I can tell you with at least some authority that your dad and your brother are doing okay. It is we who are left behind who hurt. But it is a bittersweet hurt. It keeps our fallen loved ones alive, and what a beautiful thing that is.
Having help is one thing, but having your dad to help is over the top. Great job!
"Plan for your incompetence." This is a super good idea for first timers.
The video was posted right before the winter storm. I bet he regrets ever saying that phrase now.
@@jessiehawes5062 Yeah, I know
@@jessiehawes5062 nope, survived better than my two neighbors sheds. Both got rebuilt.
As so many said in the comments ... You are blessed to have your dad with you on this project.. Great job
You showed us a few clever tricks, all well & good. Saw horses are a must have for me, not a tippy garbage pail.I miss my old boss, he was a master carpenter, who passed 2005.He used to hand nail the ten and twelve pennies in! TEXTURE 111 LOOKS GREAT.
Father and son having a good time while accomplishing something they both need...I miss my dad!!!
The loss of a father is a life changer
Me too. Hugs to you
Miss my Dad too…he helped and taught me how to build a garage when I bought my first home, but I mustn’t have paid enough attention so I’m looking at this as a refresher course…thank u for posting…
Me and my Dad loved wood working. We built a 2 car garage when i was younger. Then beds and furniture as i got older, and will remember that for the rest of my life. Lost him in March 2021, and i will carry on my love of wood working from him and for him. Thanks for the video, and the reminder of past builds.
Lost my pop when I was 30 & I'm now 63. He was in WWII, as a T5, Technical Corporal in the European Theater. I still think about him everyday.
Back in 2007, I built a 12' X 20' barn all by myself. However, I learned a lot from my dad which included having confidence in whatever I was working on. My son is now 28 and I see a lot of my dad and me in him.
Love your philosophy “plan for my own incompetence” - need to adopt that!
Very necessary in regards to the existing labor force. You still get a satisfactory product with only marginally higher material costs and a good bit of free labor.
This is some home grown goodness. No drawings and calculations, but not “by the seat of the pants” either. It obvious you had a plan, and had worked it all out in your head, and it came together perfectly. A pleasure to watch. Thanks for sharing it.
You guys are so funny😅 I love the father and son interaction! I wish I was there because I probably would have been laughing my as.... off🤣 I have been looking for a cheap way to do this. I am 68 and have always done everything myself! I have men in my life that won't do anything for me but they are excellent at watching tv. I live in Greensboro NC and I think the ground is simular to yours and I pick up used pieces of wood when I see them and have a good collection. Thank you for giving me hope❤
I really felt as if I was learning alongside someone who didn't pretend he knew it all, but has the ability to figure it out. I grew in confidence the longer I watched. Excellent teaching method!
Your silence when reading the tape was golden. Then your dad says he was holding the tape off the peer. Haha
I loved it when your Dad 'messed' with you on the last measurement to get the foundation square! Your consternation was obvious. He got you good!
Nothing like a father and son project , its so nice to see father and son work well together! Keep up the good work!
Love it! It's so wonderful when you see two generations building something together.
I have watched a lot of shed building. Yours was better than most. Your way was good for someone who hasn’t done this. I liked how you showed how to layout, cut areas that were different, and made them easier to understand.your dad was a great help and inspiration to be there for you. I saved this to help me this spring to do mine. I liked how you built it and your way of doing it
How was your build in the spring?
I have to give you an A for effort. I've been building for 40+ years, and I could teach you some things, but with your aspiration and desire, I believe you'll finish anything you start. Congratulations buddy, well done!
A wise man speaks. 👍👍👍🤙🤙🤙
Well, Michael the Supreme builder is in da house! Yeah!
@@talkingcargojunkremoval By golly, his methods worked for him. But I would of been using that miter saw to make the angled cuts, not a hand saw. Made me look at how I do things. Nice job.
@@talkingcargojunkremoval q
is there any issue with the entire load of the shen relying on just the screws of the 4 corner brackets.
For the main 4x4 foundational supports, I would put 2 bolts through each (with lock washers and nuts) , totally securing the foundation. Nails can be used for everything else, as the foundation is solid. Not that much more expensive, but hugely stronger over the years. Nice build. peace
27:04 - "Find yourself a workbench"... works on a garbage bin. Literally in tears of laughter! I love this video! Tons of info.
Haha, I love the expressions from your dad while your trying to explain things. The shed build was great, I looked out at my garden while watching your build and we have snow in Liverpool, not ideal for a shed build. As always Shawn, thanks for sharing.
Thank you, For making this extremely easy.
I appreciate your view on material cost, trimming down on floor size saves quite a bit on the entire rest of the build! Great video great work thank you again
I really appreciate all the time & effort it took to make this video. For a weekend warrior like myself, this turned out to be very helpful. Thank you!
Good to having a dad, showing his son how to build something useful .
Great job , y’all two make it look so easy . I’m definitely more confident in building one now
Hi Shawn .
Thanks for another great video. I am builder in New Zealand and a few years ago I took up turning and have watched almost all of your videos in an effort to absorb some of your awesomeness. As it is always work the effort to learn create and share :) I wanted to pass on some hints as to what you might like to try in the future if you do this kind of project again- or for anyone considering making a shed.
1. Consider using screws. They are fast becoming the go to for all builders. ( just like they are for joiner's like you)They pull the wood together tighter than nails and they dont let go- therefore avoiding squeaking and also less racking in the framing. When you put a temporary brace on you dont have to hammer the entire structure to remove it- you simply unscrew it. When your framing is lying down you simply screw 1 or 2- 100mm screw or "bugle screws" through the bottom plate and into the stud. This has an incredible amount of holding power compared to a nail, and if you need to reposition it- no trouble. Great for people doing their first shed.
2. When you cut the door out you could also have tried lifting the sheet into position- Marking the back of the ply sheet around the outline of the door with a pencil. Dropped it onto some saw stools and cutting it out with a battery skill saw. Far neater and quicker too.
3. When ever using things like long timber studs a short spirit/bubble level will not give the best results as timber can vary over the length of just 1 meters depending on how good/bad your grade of timber is. A level at least 1.8 meters will give you a more accurate and plumb result.
All this said I realise that this is just a shed- just hoping someone else may find this helpful. I wish that it was cheaper to build my own shed here in New Zealand, but most often its cheaper to buy a kit set one, which sucks. Thanks again
Nice work!
To me, the best part in this video is that you got to work with your dad. Cherish that.
I freaking love this guy, he always down talks himself and his lack of skills while perfectly explaining and demonstrating how to do whatever task he is doing! Totally reminds me of my family and the way we built things growing up.
Dude my shed cost $1275 on special from Home Depot but I had it out on a slab roughly $500 and the labor for it to get built $500 so mines cost total right at $3000 because I had to pay for it to get painted. You guys did a better quality shed and bigger . Also you bonded with your daddy it’s was so nice.
Home Depot Tuff Shed SUCKS.
I'm retired and work by myself on similar projects and want to say Thank You for sharing your tips. I learned a lot of practical techniques from this video. Like you, I try to avoid the math whenever possible and it's surprising how much you can accomplish by thinking things through and forming a mental picture or making a simple drawing. Your way of cutting the angle on the wall studs on the ends of your shed is a great example. Due to my lack of training, I'm all about compensating for my incompetence and things usually work out. I try not to let my lack of technical knowledge prevent me from trying something, because my projects are all for my own use and no one's paying me. Sometimes failure - or let's just call them "temporary mistakes," can be the best teacher. Last year I built a garden shed that would have turned out a little better if I'd have seen this video first. But this summer I'm building a storage shed and it's going to be much better as a result of your example. Thanks again.
Two things you need when you're a novice carpenter is lots of patients and a good sense of humor. You seem to have both down pat.
Thank you for the "basics" on how to build a "commoner" shed. You did great with instructions and terminology of goods. I will tackle this project come this spring.
I love the public service announcement about wearing shirts in the work shop! Hilarious!
"Planned Incompetence", I love that phrase, works all the time for me.
Thank you so much for your generous sharing of each step of the project. I loved watching you and remembering doing projects with my dad. He’s been gone nearly 4 years and I cherish those memories. Give your dad a hug for warming my heart. Great job on the shed.
I really appreciate the tips on the walls. I learned that since I have a compressor, I will buy a pneumatic nailer instead of a battery powered nailer, too. Wonderful improvisation. Euclid didn't use math either.
I really liked all the tricks you showed that made it so you didn’t have to measure everything. Great job.
Great, great video!!! Good to see you and your father working together!!! Next time it will be a full house! Thanks be safe and take care you both!!
No matter what, I always come back to learn new stuff from watching your videos. From learning how to turn on a lathe to building just about anything. I don’t think there is a better source to learn about tools and wood working than here at Worthefford.
For someone who doesn't do this all the time you guys did a good job. And I like how you give credit to your dad for his ideas and owned your mistakes. If I needed help and was in your neck of the woods I would look you up.
4:54 LOL I miss doing this kind of stuff with my dad. Enjoy it while yours is still here.
Loved the great idea of how to cut the side wall studs with minimal fuss. Clever.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to figure out which way to go in order to get a potting shed / greenhouse. I just looked at a shed at a big box store that looks very like the one you showed and it didn’t make sense to me that I was still going to need to buy extra material to finish it. This video is right on time and the detail helps me really understand the process... mostly lol I might still make a crooked house
Thanks so much for the detailed step-by-step. Building a simple platform for my tent, so this is perfect
The plywood sheets should lay perpendicular to the floor joists. This increases the strength of the flooring.
And it is recommended by the manufacturer, as well as code.
I love your way of teaching. You have a gift. I've already learned so much!
I’m going to build my own shed. Done the base now starting the walls. I must amit the wood prices here in the uk have doubled in price. Thanks for sharing. You’ve helped me understand how to go about the whole project. Thank you
Excellent video and process. Thank you for sharing. I remember working with my Father. Looking at you and your Father build the shed, enjoy the journey. You will have many good memories like me.
Planned incompetence, I love that phrase👍 It's what I'm all about. Plan for the worse and hope for the better🙄
I'm thankful for individual thinking. I appreciate the differences we all have. What a contribution👌
Well I learned something here today. I saw you put your pencil on the mark where you measured to and THEN move your square to bump the pencil to draw your cut line. I always place the square as best possible beside the measured mark and then draw the cut line across with the pencil. WELL YOUR WAY makes sure your square is at the perfect alignment with the measured mark. Learn something new everyday
Great video, well explained. I am building my own this spring. You're right about the quality difference. I've shopped around and building your own if you can is the way to do it.
Thanks for this. Planning a shed now to build in spring. Lots of good ideas here.
5:00 “Go back and measure it again, I screwed you over”. Hahaha. That was a good laugh.
Wish you would of done the door. Our hired handyman hung mine crooked and now can't find him.
Fun video. The dad is a trip. Do these things while you can. I'd give anything to have had the chance to do this with my dad.
I love your video man. Thank you for explaining! I love the " planned incompetence, we aren't that good"
You are so good!
Wood Glut is full of amazing tips. It helped me a lot.
as a Dad with an adult Son I sad the same thing at the same time @4:46 love your Dad
The topless shop video was hilarious, but I'm bummed. I was watching to see how you would finish the roof and the door.
Same here
The foundation idea is freaking genius. I was looking at building a shed to keep my kids toys in so they don’t have all their junk in my garage but I didn’t want to bother with concrete and my back wasn’t onboard with starting to dig down a bit to get any blocks levelled out.. that alone is a life saver
I wish you had more videos about this type of building, i would use your video to build my mom a tiny home and teach my 16 yo son too. i appreciate your simpleness and explanation
Awesome! If I would need a shed this would be a motivating aid to actually start such a project.
Take a drink every time he says “sheet good” seriously, great video. Cool guy. Sheet good!
😂😂😂 fun way to get drunk very quick
I’m stone
Too drumk, 3 minutes into.the vudeo
Mmmm...beer. good...
Cool to see you and your dad work together. not how I would go about building a building but still fun to watch.
Finally found a channel that matches to my skill level
Dads a chop buster! Lol Love his wacky sense of humor.
Great video, finally one that guys like me who struggle with measurements can understand thank you for making this video.
Love your statement at the end: "It's always worth the effort to learn, create, and share with others. Some people will never understand the immense wealth and value in that statement! You guys were quite COMPETENT in your ability and planning and tips! Great job and super generous of you to share this with myself and others. Thanks!
Love it. Thank you. You gave me ideas and showed me how easy it is to do a shed I was going to spend the money and buy the pre-kit but now I think I’m gonna try tackling it myself
I'm so humbled and forever grateful for Your time and effort you put in videos. I continue to learn new things watching your videos. I could never thank you enough.
some of your technics will work great for me. I'm a 60 yr young female with one working arm. Thank you for the help.
You so lucky have your father give you a helping hand, hope you will nice to him when he gets older. Thanks 🙏
I've desperately been looking for a video that is this detailed! Thank you very much!!
Inspiring to hear the added sanity and sense of a comics take on construction. Genius, all day long!! Love it!
Happy to see American's still building in the midst of this SPIKE in lumber prices. About the time we all get projects done the prices will probably level out, lol... Happy woodworking. Hello from Kentucky mountains
Thank you. Good practical tips and nicely presented. I love the self effacing style when, actually, you are a natural at construction!
Wow - these guys are great- they have enthusiasm- courage and knowledge to do these jobs - they really help us out - I’m proud of them - keep up your great work.
first time watching your channel and ready enjoyed it and learned several things thanks for sharing. will try to watch more of your video's thanks stan
Same...
"I'm gonna saw off the corners"
- Starts hand sawing
- Screw this I'm getting the chainsaw
😂😂😂
The "Texas Chainsaw Post Cutter" 😂😂
That was hilarious!!
When he yelled haHA I busted out laughing..totally relatable. my fav part.
You guys did an excellent job. Specially for those of us with no experience. I will now make it a goal for this summer Tnks to you and your Dad
As expected a very enjoyable video. Keep them coming Sean. Really nice to see your dad working along side you.
Even of you had went with 24” centres rather than 16” it would still be more solid than the box store precursor kit.
Great job, it came out looking awesome and very sturdy!
Nice build, really enjoyed the video. Special times working with Dad. I miss my Dad tremendously, but remember the good times we shared. Hug him often and tell him how much you love him. Thanks
Love your dad screwing you over when measuring the diagonal. Thanks for this video. I need to build a new shed here in the UK and am watching loads of videos to get ideas.
"Planned incompetence." Love it.
Fun watching you and your Dad. Nice job!
Great instructions and video. You remind me of my son and myself doing a project except we probably have more "Friendly Discussions" on how things should be done. We are about to tackle building a shed and your video has helped a lot.
I really enjoyed your video. I have been looking at buying one of these buildings off a lot and kept thinking to myself there just isn't much to it, I could do this myself considerably cheaper. This video gave me the confidence to give it a go myself. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Nice video! Use the "white balance" feature on your camera to help with clouds or to generally improve the contrast/brightness.
I'm going back east to see my 85 year old dad on thursday 10th Nov.....very blessed
Thank you for giving me the confidence to tackle my shed on my own. Although of course with your help I’m probably gonna watch this video a few times thanks again👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Been a while since I've seen anyone use a hand saw, but they do come in handy at times.
My father build a four bedroom house with only hand tools. No electricity yet so he wasn't waiting. He was a beast with tools. And the shingles were hand split cedar.
Of course when we built my shed the same rules applied. I had to do it without power tools.
Miss my pops. Give your ole man a hug, tell him you love him. Good job I gave it thumbs up and sub
Great video, and good job too. Will take a lot of the elements into my project, the major difference will be my foundations, and getting my shed lower to the ground
Great job you two! Planning to build one this summer and have learned quite a lot from you.
Thanks and greetings from Belgium.
Eilert
Well done gentlemen, thank you for the informative video.
I really enjoyed you guys working very good team work
Really enjoyed your Dad when he was messing up with your head lol
Okay the dad part sold me! He reminds me of my dad. He was a master craftsman and a good old boy from the hills of the south. He had a similar sense of humor your pop does. We did so many projects together. I got most of my skills from him. I wish he was still here because my wife talked me into buying another fixer upper. She is either trying to keep me young or kill me off.
