Log Woodshed Build Part 1: Foundation & Posts

[@robinhughes8822]

I found your channel when in hospital for 3 weeks and was in a lot of pain and stuck in bed !They really cheered me up and helped me.Back home now and the long recovery and your video popped up ,made my day .Thanks for your great film making ,take care and look forward to seeing more 👍love from London

[@peggsargent132]

Stay strong London 😊

[@markb1487]

I had a RTA in 2006,,3+half weeks in bed solid,,had a great orthopaedic surgeon put me back together....Don't like the 2ft long scar tho..💯🇬🇧💯🇬🇧💯

[@cindyblair1283]

Praying for fast healing❤

[@t00lshack]

I think it's great that you are using a bunch of found wood, the end result will look cooler and you saved yourself a bunch of money.

[@judyschepp8748]

AGREE!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤

[@zapolistinkerman7588]

Great video.. What would have been hilarious is if you would have had part of the song "Breaking the Law" by Judist Priest... during this part: 23:51 - 24:00 ... Again I'm sure you weren't breaking the law as it would be a funny immbedded joke in your video. Stop being a perfectionist to an extent. 26:00 . That's why there are tolerances on blueprints. As well is why a bridge (for example) is designed to have many more times weight allowment capacity than it will theoretically ever experiance. This is an exterior wood shed that will settle over time. Great vids Diego. You are an amazingly skilled on hands learner for sure. Take care to you, Julia, Al and friends.

[@amayo60]

Killer video, no trouble to tell how strong the wood is when you cut it , now that it’s off the ground it will last a long time. The eclectic music taste is refreshing!

[@losmarcon]

Hey man, we really enjoy your videos but got a question for you. Those six enormous columns are not buried, what prevents all that structure from falling from a gust of wind ?? Right now you got 2x4's nailed to trees around it..

[@agenttex7831]

That fir is definitely better than the alder. That truck was LOADED! Beautiful work man!

[@sslayerbrad]

diego... this is solid gold content.

[@timmylittle2406]

What you did is pretty freaking awesome. That is some very nice work. Take the logs! The people worried if it’s “legal” speed, have blown stop signs, and done lots of other things not considered legal….but they call you out…..lol

[@johnhammond4397]

Well done my man! Wish I was 30 something again. Gone are the days when I tumbled logs like that into my Chevy 1/2 ton for fire wood. You will not quit and neither should we. Forest service will sell you "firewood" permits for $10/cord. That's here in Northern CA. Thanks for sharing.

[@markwalker5231]

Great vid mate, I’m an avid wood gatherer here in Western Australia, I run a ford ranger equipped with a front winch, great for pulling logs out of the bush to where my truck is and saves my old back. Keep at it, and be safe!

[@TheExtra40414]

omg, DIEGO IS DOING THE WOODSHED. Been looking forward to how you tackle this project. Glad you got it started finally. lol

[@svgal1382]

There's a nice calm that comes when I watch your videos.. Love your permit process, mines the same way. 😅 The learn as you go is it.. I live rural & love it.. Thank you..

[@henkvandebeek7921]

Bit of Pearl Jam in the background too! Brilliant tunes and great video as ever

[@mycelticstardust]

Enjoy watching your videos, like that you don’t over explain, the camera captures pretty much what you are doing! That wood shed is going to be beautiful! Take care, rest and eat well! ❤

[@Yamalover78]

Great job. I love to see how someone can fix and make things, and it's gonna be great. (without spending like 10 grand) 👍

[@tehhsnipehh]

From me finding your channel to it becoming my favorite channel it didn't take long! Keep it up!

[@cindyblair1283]

Hello friend finally a new video! I just love all your videos I didn’t mean that sarcastically we just enjoy whatever your doing!! Love from Ohio❤

[@nathanpizzo9444]

You don't need to apologize for anything you're doing. It obvious to anyone who is watching that you are simply problem solving and making things that serve your goals. Good work. Just keep doing what you're doing. It's great!

[@Breck724]

I dig your content and music choices Diego!! Just a helpful tip for your squaring; you can use the slot in your tape measure blade to hook the screw head making a more secure connection when working alone.

[@davidmaier343]

Have a great week. Rain here as well.

[@findingpeaceofficial963]

Looks Amazing. Can't wait to see the final result. So much hard work. Those posts will last forever. Keep up the amazing work. God Bliss everyone. Have the greatest day ever, love and peace.

[@ebshaw5974]

Great work. Making the most of what we have is an important reminder for us all. Thanks

[@judyschepp8748]

I sooo agree Mr. Shaw🎉🎉🎉😊

[@kennyp507]

Great work!!! your giving me a ton of good idea's which can be dangerous lol

[@quillowl4319]

from the island state of Australia, Tasmania. Appreciate, and enjoy your videos.. i am glad the tyres held.

[@xBenge]

Diego, you’re an awesome dude. I love your outlook on everything. Keep it up and I’ll see you in the next video!

[@VertexXander]

great vid!! you should get a winch on your truck so you can drag logs out of the deeper parts of the woods instead of having to carry/flip them all the way to the truck, you'd save yourself so much energy!

[@judyschepp8748]

And time!!!😊😊😊

[@KHOL1N]

If you invest in a tension strap to pull logs with your truck i think that'll make like a little bit easier

[@abcxyz-lj3pk]

hard work man! love your videos, greetings from denmark!

[@mikelemere8336]

I hate we live in a world that you have to spend over 10 minutes explaining the obvious to these people who are going to complain about everything you do anyway. Ps...your music is awesome. Just add some more country in it, lol. Great video. Keep it up.

[@joeyjo-jojr.shabadoo1150]

Nah, there’s enough visual country, no need for audio country too. ;)

[@FT__Cool_Stuff______-of5pi]

Love that you pick up so many of your materials from the ground. I've been a long-time proponent of "just pick it up" life strategies. You can reduce the mansplaining a bit. You don't have to tell us how you use your quads when lifting something 😀

[@tenminutetokyo2643]

That is epic. Movement keeps people young. Even old people.

[@randystover3285]

Awesome video. Yes, your back! I never wanted to jump through the screen so much and give you a hand. That's hard work. You have enough experience cutting firewood that we should know by now you are not collecting rotten wood to build with. Looks to me to be perfectly seasoned for what you are doing. Not too green, not rotten. Speaking of wood. I find it absolutely fantastic that you are using material that is available to you. Douglas Fir, are you kidding me? I would be picking up all I could get my hands on, firewood, pole sheds, furniture, I would be using it for everything. And, if it just sits there it will just go to waste and in my opinion be contributing to potential fire hazard. I have to say that you may be limited on tools but one tool, and probably the most precious is your critical thinking skills and resourcefulness. Way too many people do not have that. Speaking of tools, I would look at your truck as a tool. Your eclectic taste in music is fine, I would probably love the silence of your woods myself but that's me.

[@jameswaterman2829]

I understand your opinion on your truck. I also treat my truck as a work track.

[@markholland2612]

Hi Diego.....Love all your hard work, problem solving and videos. Thank you for being "The Man in the Arena". Exhaustion and replenishment are the keys to life. I see you must have some affection/affiliation with TAMU. You must explain in a future video. As an Aggie (all kids went there as well), I'm a huge fan of your channel. Keep up the great content.

[@suezaple4950]

Nice work Diego on the logs hard work but well worth it. this is going to be an epic wood shed love those large logs your using what a find , It's going to blend in nicely amongst the trees . Smart thinking for the build budget friendly that is safe and works. and hey free logs nothing wrong with that. You have the confidence and the talent "Your not arrogant". Look forward to the 2nd part.. sorry for rambling. Be proud of yourself.

[@jenesisjones6706]

I love the THUD when you moved the logs! Cheers from an Aussie grandma. You definitely don't need a Gym membership 🙃

[@lukiluvssuga]

I’ve been waiting for this to start!!! I really like the rant at the end of all your videos, it’s always enjoyable. It shows you are human and connects us with your thought/decision making process. Ps your music is rubbish 🤣

[@CorndogCameron]

Can really tell the effort you put into the editing and camera placement. Good job man. Keep it up

[@_Elijah_1979]

When you were lifting that 10'" log - it was making me feel the strain bc I remember working with those back in the day but good work 👍

[@superjetnorcal]

Awesome content as always

[@wyattsgbc]

Waiting patiently for the video about Al’s life in the 70s!

[@willamettehops]

Nice to borrow a little road base gravel when you need some. Looking like a nice wood shed build so far!

[@johnshaw4140]

Don't worry about your music Diego , according to my boyfriend I have no music taste , he subjects me to Death Metal music so it's no wonder that I appreciate silence . Great job so far with the wood shed , I can't wait for the next video and to see the shed full of firewood

[@ness1860]

To the folks who have issues with the way you treat your truck. It's a working truck. It's not going to stay shiny and new looking. The only trucks like that are trucks that people buy and use as regular cars. A working truck is going to get dinged up. That's just how it is. As to getting wood from the side of the road, didn't someone in a forestry truck drive by and see you doing it one time? If so, they obviously aren't too worried about it or they would've stopped and told you to not do it.

[@michaelpurdy1116]

I agree 100%. Trucks are meant to be used as trucks, and I enjoy the same music as yourself.

[@jeremyfitzgerald8240]

I have been watching your channel for a while now, always awesome content, as I can tell also we have the same music tastes, heard you rocking Black Sabbath and Pearl Jam. Great work.

[@edmaurer5059]

That was a successful scavanger hunt.

[@claudetteraymond8710]

Diego you should have some rope with you to drag out the logs to the road. It really works great.

[@2good2be4u]

You really need a heavy duty trailer when you are loggin. BTW some pullies does the heavy work less than half the work. But heavy work is good & free workout. Really enjoying to see you work hard while im coachsurfin.

[@LifesResurrectionProject]

I'm Nitro , Millwright From Steel Foundry. You going to cut joints for all your Roof Beams ? Nice work Diego . Me & Wife been watching a long time . She is battling cancer & I enjoy your Mental challenges and physical Challenges .

[@76guzzi78]

Diego, have you considered looking out for an old army surplus small truck that has a fold up crane on it? You could probably get one real cheap which would be so beneficial not only for this type of project but also for firewood gathering?

[@offthetrailsoutdoors]

Just found your channel. Enjoy your content. Keep it up!

[@RJS027]

use old pallets for the floor, just modify them a bit.

[@joshwilcox8008]

Love most of your music! You’re a beast!

[@SpaceForce2019]

Your music is awesome. Rock on!

[@EverythingButMusic-gv8jy]

Love your tunes.

[@judyschepp8748]

I enjoyed them too!!!!❤❤🎉

[@chillnndc]

Jeez, explains y the pioneers were so fit 😮

[@NancyDewitt-wb1pg]

You do good work , I wish I had you around to help me 😂

[@buzzaard7036]

You can test poles/logs with a 3 lb hammer striking it around the circumference every few feet if the hammer rebounds sharply and makes a clear sound it is good. Decay areas will make a dull thud and the hammer will not rebound as much. There is actually an OSHA document on how to test utility poles that gives more detail but this is the gist of it.

[@johnkelly5487]

Re your taste in music, when I heard ZZ Top I had to subscribe, ROCK ON, Jack, RI, USA

[@Constitution1789]

Makes you appreciate Lowe's and Home Depot a little bit more. 😂 Sure, neither offers exemplary quality, but at least we don't have to search the woods, chop down trees, and carry all of it back home.

[@judyschepp8748]

😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😊😊

[@edwardseth1230]

Diago.. you need to find a Used 4WD Single Cabin.. toyota landcruiser or a Nissan (4wd) with a lond bed.. that can open all 3 sides.. if the loads are bigger. if you don't have the budget or don't need it.. add some Rancho RS5000X Gas Shocks Rear Pair for 2004-2015 Nissan Titan A friend of mine in upper Alaska.. built a wood shed both sides open... with changable. wood stacks.. placed on wooden dolly's with wheels.. so as the usable copped logs pieces are placed on the front.. the greener wood is placed in the back.. as the front stack is used.. and empties.. he pulls the stack behind it upfront.. and then 3rd row to the 2nd and 4th to the 3rd.. and place the empty dolly's in the back.. and fills it up.

[@ChristianDaland]

You need to get a winch on that car 😅

[@cww53132]

You need to invest in a block and tackle system. It's more about working smarter, not harder.

[@VertexXander]

Wouldn't collecting your firewood this way be way quicker than splitting etc when you're on the side of the road too?

[@Anon-mk4ms]

I like your choice in music.

[@joeyjo-jojr.shabadoo1150]

Quick question, why is your generator no longer in its custom box? In several of your newer videos I see you are no longer using the box. Cheers.

[@AmeLeAnn]

"If you're planning to tackle more of these projects, it might be worth investing in a car winch-it'll make your life easier ;)

[@judyschepp8748]

SSSSOOOO TTTRRRUUUUE!!!!🎉😊

[@marekpospisil1998]

rope, pilley and hitch save lot of pain with low budget

[@shirleypowell6768]

Diego, when are you going to get started on PT 2?😅😅 I know you work hard, but I am getting anxious 😂😂

[@thomasginn4709]

Bro I think you could really benefit from a smaller equipment trailer it will be lower than the bed on your truck and increase your capacity by a great deal ...I don't know what they would cost in your area but they start around 700 bucks in mine ...make sure to get one with regular car tires

[@DouglasLeslie-b4h]

My friend, you really need to invest into getting a trailer for transporting logs Instead of trashing your truck.!🤔 It just makes sense if you ask me.🤷‍♂️ but I really enjoy your videos, so just keep on trying harder. I’m sure you get there sooner or later.👍 You know the old saying work smarter not harder..😂🤣

[@Tavpanda]

Time for a 4 wheeler and a small trailer for hauling lumber?

[@vickiewell1857]

good job i like your videos many blessings

[@Harlan-k9m]

Some places you can get a permit to get wood that way u can in lots of places in maine & that's what a trucks for working tool & man don't worry about haters if they go to far there's a button 4 that good luck & God bless

[@trent5ace]

Yup totally against the rules to collect stuff from the forest but I don't care. I'm glad you are able to put it to good use. If you were selling it then maybe I'd have more of an issue. Keep living the simple good life man.

[@vickypastrana1245]

Those barks will be perfect for kindling?

[@RobWCurrier]

nice vid, thx

[@Orphanboyefforts-Chuong]

So nice ❤❤

[@kjmagnon]

Seems like you really should install a winch on the front of your truck to make things like log recovery simpler and less physically taxing

[@odellkagaoan7254]

How about using chains or strap to pull out the cut logs so you dont struggle to flip the logs out?

[@jameswilson6191]

A few complaints, why use buckets for gravel when you could've put it in your trucks bed, 2 why not dig holes for the posts and pack them holes with gravel or cement, and instead of using boards for the floor go down to your home depot and they should have some free wood pallets and they will dry the wood alot better

[@sebastiantodor5827]

Wouldn't be more practical to make a single slope roof? I'm thinking at benefits in heavy rain or snow. Good luck!

[@oscartheg6674]

The grunting does help I know from personal experience.

[@joebuck49]

like the music

[@angelayala976]

Winch?

[@Deutschehordenelite]

Where did the question at the end of the video come from? :o

[@glennwilck5459]

Get a rope and a block and tackle and mayb you can use it to pull logs out instead of manhandling them up hill.

[@andrewmaygothling6454]

I see you listened to Al. Pick up one end, not the whole thing. He's pretty smart.

[@dirkanderson2944]

Sorry Diego , those post need to be secured in the ground with at least some cement and at least 3 ft sunken into the ground, first Major wind storm and there will be a risk of it collapsing , just my opinion, hope I’m wrong in my estimation, cheers mate

[@pdmehrtens]

You’re too tough on yourself! Give yerself sum damn credit son! Who cares what people think! Build it to your vision and trust yer gut! You can build with that timber just coat er up with some oil and go heavy on the bottoms . You can also use sodium borate. Spray it on before ya oil it and get rid of the bark. My only advice and it just advice get ya a 362 stihl or a 462 and yer firewood production will go up 10 fold! Go see Sam at Madsens ! Keep on charging up the hill! 🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻🫵

[@Kevin_D1]

How do you avoid the copyright KZbin finds while uploading your videos? I only ask due to the background music. I have been hit by the copyright people at YT on a few videos.

[@juliabuddle7927]

Maybe you could have used your truck to haul the logs up onto the road?

[@frankmcnish8489]

Should never use alder for any thing structural

[@Simon_van_Bentum]

I think you listen to great music, but the sound from your smartphone is terrible (and then also to the viewers/listeners). Are you familiar with bluetooth speakers. They offer a really great sound!😃

[@Creative22222]

[@enii960]

Why do you use an electric saw and not a petrol saw ? I understand that when you are doing small things it is more convenient but when you were cutting firewood it was a drama because you were constantly changing batteries

[@j.a.r.family2576]

[@dannyoutdoors5322]

Could of strapped them & give it a pull with your truck to save your back

HOPE THAT NISSAN CAN TAKE THAT WEIGHT LOL

[@viqq183]

I understand that it's stupid that trees are left to rot, but do you at least know who owns the woods you take fallen trees? I'm just curious since our laws here in Finland would forbid this and if it's owned by a private person you could get in major trouble.
