Building A Play Set!

[@smokeeater695]

That playhouse, workshop, and lot are goals AF!!

[@WesHamstra]

Thanks. I worked hard for this. best tip I can give. Don't waste money on college, Pick up a trade and get good at it. also, find what people don't like doing and do it and charge a lot for it. works for me.

[@baddawgofficial1173]

Love your workshop 👌🏼

[@WesHamstra]

Thanks!

[@LonghornWorkshop]

Reuse and renew is awesome. Love the little helper, I could see she couldn't wait to get on it and play.

[@WesHamstra]

Lucas Wood & Art she hasnt stopped playing on it since she woke up this morning. Thanks for watching!

[@christofix]

Wes, that playhouse is awsome!!! Your kids are very lucky and i guess they are very proud on their cool dad who ca build everyting.

[@WesHamstra]

Christofix - DIY Projects thanks, it was a fun project for a saturday

[@julioantoniocamarillo163]

Could you please share a list of wood materials?

[@keving5065]

Aaron Rodgers built a pretty cool playset

[@johnboyhewitt1982]

Great job; any chance i could get the plans please???

[@PapiDelPNW]

I like the notches you made. I was told this was a big no no for 4x4 and only recommended for 6x6 post. How is yours holding up?

[@WesHamstra]

So far so good. I have never heard that before. It does make sense when you think about it.

[@valen25mu]

I love it, but how can I see the measurements and the amount and material you used for it?

[@alistairtrain5479]

amazing love to wach your vidioes

[@raypluswatpent6823]

I’m happy to see there are other people who like building like I do (I’m 16) and I am taking a extracurricular activity on building and when I showed this to my teacher she said she could show it in class as a break. Thanks a lot, not only for the break but you did a really good job on the build.

[@WesHamstra]

Thanks a lot. Glad to see someone young is getting into woodworking. It’s is becoming a dying skill.

[@raypluswatpent6823]

@@WesHamstra I agree and not only is it a good skill to know it’s as you said in other comments, A fun thing to do on your Saturday. I also have a question because me cousin (who is 9) wants a carved piece of wood to look like a sailboat, but I’m not sure which wood I should use to carve it, have any suggestions?

[@dougLinker]

Now you get to cut the grass around it all year 👍😄

[@WesHamstra]

yep, and probably for the 10 years to follow. Ive cut grass around it once already, its not that bad. doesn't take long to zip around it on the zero turn.

[@djfernandez0531]

Do you have a cut list? Looks great!

[@KeepUpWithKinnon]

Any chance you made build plans or anything of that nature for this? Would gladly pay for them

[@gordd7348]

I built a similar play set for my kids and they and the neighborhood kids used it daily.

[@jeffreyt7177]

Any estimates of dimensions? Also curious any reason the brace for the swings had a bit of an angle to them? Thanks

[@ivesence]

download sketchup model. It's all there.

Nice! Any links to the slide or plastic pieces?

[@frankwhite5945]

Good job 👍

[@brenta784]

How did you anchor it to the ground?

[@moego5481]

Hi Wes thank you for sharing this lovely video which you’ve made a hard job look very easy! You’ve inspired me to replicate your model for my own children in our house in the UK. I was wondering if it was possible for you to list the material used and measurements! A big ask I know but would really appreciate it and I’ll post you my final completed piece. Thank you 🙏🏼 😊

[@bigh8121]

Can someone explain to me how to secure the parts that touch the soil. Do I dig holes and set ot in concrete???

[@jacobcantleberry7201]

I think it should sit on concrete footers with brackets and bolts otherwise the wood will rot

[@bigh8121]

@@jacobcantleberry7201 Thank you

[@rickmorgan8895]

His guy loves his kids Most dads just go buy one quick and be done with it

[@mikeg7556]

Hey Wes, very inspiring video. The playset looks great. Would you please share measurements? I want to try to build same kind for my daughter. Thanks:)

[@clineshaunt]

Great job!

[@alexviscardi924]

Wow you did all that with one battery .I am impressed

[@WesHamstra]

Haha. Pretty sure I switched batteries off camera

[@KtheMighty]

Really good job, I really want to try something similar. what length were them main pillars, the whole swing set looks like the perfect proportion

[@almas7123]

Nice job dad! 👍🏼

[@sncgoyal]

where can i find plans for this ?

[@dann110]

That was awesome and inspiring.

[@harshtruthengineer1382]

Good job, although I dont know how long that apex on the end will last, hopefully long enough !

[@ingoburenko]

Good work.

[@diesalweasel]

hi deffo worth a subscribe there . you done an excellent jobs not sure who was having more fun the liitle girl or you lol . by the way the timber at the start is that 4 inch you used or 3 inch . it did look more like 4 inch

[@liamdanks5410]

From a fellow bench joiners perspective this is fantastic, could I get the measurements and/or technicals for this as if like to copy it like for like! The kids would love it, that’s amazing man well done 👍🏻

[@hogmrc]

Omg! That is awesome!!! Great job! Did you have to cement anything in ?

[@РикитикиТави-ц4в]

Super men,fater👍👍👍👍

[@tanelv1909]

any tips or plans on this one?

[@intheringhectorsanchez4207]

Fantastic video! I am in the process of putting together a playhouse right now, and this was the perfect video on how to do it. Thanks!

[@matta6817]

What type of wood is that ?

[@RobinLewisMakes]

That's so awesome! I see one in my future, haha

[@WesHamstra]

Robin Lewis thanks, I see on instagram your kid is 1 year already! Time flys

[@beastuk7]

Where can I find full plans how to build it myself? I wanna surprise my kids :-)

[@damourmichelleanne5531]

Siiiiick!!!

[@mykola5669]

This playground looks pretty awesome and design is quite affordable DIY! I saw many comments asking for measurements but I could not find if you shared it somewhere. At least some rough sketches? Also, what are the bolts you used with hammering into the wood nut? Where can I get it in Canada? Would appreciate the info, with all COVID lockdowns we just have no choice but build our own playgrounds :/

[@kennethl5886]

www.jacksfurnitureplans.com/ $1.95 for his playground plans. I'm in the middle of building his playground set now and the plans are perfect and nearly free. A little bigger (so more expensive) than this but it's a great build and only a couple tricky parts. I spent around $600 in lumber but got all the accessories for free but taking down an old beat up set for someone.

[@RuskaBeridze]

@@kennethl5886 Can I ask you a question, please? I just bought this plan. Will it be sent to my paypal email? Or how will I get it? Thanks a lot in advance.

[@kennethl5886]

@@RuskaBeridze he will email it to you. May take a day or 2 as I’m not sure that he checks his email every day. But it was in my inbox pretty quickly.

@@kennethl5886 Thanks a lot for a reply. I'll wait patiently then:)

[@ablessedman03]

I'm thinking about building one for my kids. My wife showed me a big one at Best Buy and I really am not interested I'm paying $1500 for one. I told her even with the material cost the way it is I believe I could build one cheaper than that. I like woodworking I'm just not sure if I could but I would like to give it a shot. I've been anxious to build something lately anyway.

[@justinsmith847]

Kids, dad I want a okay house Dad , hold my ice t .... Awesome dude very nice 👍👏

[@vaneylen1]

nice job

[@crystaljbailey]

Wooow how long did it take you to make it?

[@Carlos-ji1yi]

😍❤👏👏👏👏🇧🇷

[@johnb17]

Hi, would you have a rough estimate on how many materials you used? Im thinking of building my kids the same swing set. Thanks!

[@sumosprojects]

Hey Wes, that’s a cracking build buddy & the kids will have many happy times playing there. One question I would like to ask is about your mitre saw station because it seemed you had a drop & then what ?, is your extractor set down somewhat?, really interested as I’m going to build one very soon 🍻👍

[@WesHamstra]

Sumo's Projects my dust collector has dust port in the back that sucks the dust. My mitre saw station isn’t complete. When its done i will do a show and tell video

[@sabunbun]

What kind of wood did you use? and What kind of T-nuts and bolts did you use?

[@anonperson4597]

I have 2 slides that need two size landing decks to go down each slide. I need a cut list and supply list and I can do it. :(

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Nice work Wes! looks like a fun little play set :) Thanks for sharing the video with us.👌👍😎JP

[@WesHamstra]

I Enjoy Creating Videos thanks jp!

Your very welcome Wes! Have a wonderful week!😎

[@AreebKhan_7720]

How much does it cost?

[@geesehoward7261]

Did you just have it sitting on the ground?

[@WesHamstra]

Yep.

[@nikolaydowgal1650]

Просто класс!!!

[@Wordsnwood]

"it's not cracking...". You'd better install that hot tub for her soon!! 😂😂😂

Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) shhhhh.... im glad my wife doesnt watch my videos. Or read the comments.

@@WesHamstra happy to cause "trouble" ...

[@SasquatchN64]

Platform height? A few basic measurements would have went far in this.

[@nestorroman2694]

WOW that's awesome 👏! Great work. I hope I can do mine as well as yours.

[@erzsebetgulyasne]

Érdeklődni szeretnék a méretet felől.

[@sebastianjaimes7172]

Great, awsome way to asamble the platform with the posts... and leaving some spare space for the decking... Wondering how many days did u spend building it?

[@selectdelgado]

Can you give a ballpark cost total?

[@hannamyers3503]

I saw in another comment $500 for lumber. We're building a swingset twice this size and the lumber for all the ground contact pressure treated wood is about $250-$300(home Depot). A box of 25 4" bolts is about $35. Accessories are about $20 each. I got a pack of monkey bars on Amazon for about $20, a pack of 10 rock wall plastic climbing rocks on Amazon for $20. Grab bars were $7 on Amazon. A swingset tarp on Amazon was about $30. We got swings and one slide free from a neighbor and bought a 7 foot tube slide used for $200. Way cheaper than swingset stores charge. Most seem to want at least $1,000 for a set that might have cost $200-$300 to make.

[@kevinhancock4064]

Mrs wants me to build one i feel pretty confident that looks tody ....im thinking a little less high due to our youngest of almost 2 being a daredevil lol

[@allgoodoutdoorsllc2020]

Do you remember about how much the build cost you

[@cseliman]

What would you say the cost for this was on the end of the project ?

[@valeriemartin1847]

I apologize if Im overlooking it but is there a place to download the sketch or dimensions?

[@ronh9384]

Nice! Glad to see it handed down. 😊 Ron

[@daftlizard883]

isn`t it supposed to be anchored?

[@GuiltyMalice]

Dude, nice work!! It looks awesome bro. Love that it’s recycled reused man. How much if any $ did you have to put in? Or was it all recycled?

[@WesHamstra]

GuiltyMalice I only spent $500 in wood. I managed to re use all the hardware, nuts and bolts, slide, ladder, etc

[@GuiltyMalice]

Wes Hamstra not bad. Well worth it, it looks great. Thanks for sharing.

[@WesHamstra]

Honestly $1500 is a good deal. Once you start adding up the cost of the slide, swings, all the hardware you will be paying more. At least in Canada where I live.
