Cladding a door with sheet metal roofing

[@leifhietala8074]

Wandel is the guy who starts with 2x4s - twisted ones - and sheet metal and makes a door...a door for a garden shed, I might add...that seals like a refrigerator.

[@IanSmithKSP]

That door really makes the shed. The custom fitting metal pieces are strangely beautiful - probably because they’re so simple. I’ve never seen anyone work with corrugated sheet metal before. Thanks for the video

[@zdkama]

I absolutely love how straightforward and to the point your videos always are. We cut directly to a drawing of you explaining the issue with the flashing hitting the wall without you talking about going to a drawing or setting the scene up with a talking head transition. Your editing and video work are as good as the wood work. Well done.

[@MikkosFree]

You have no idea how timely this video for me is. Lost everything in this pandemic and currently living in a 5' by 12' shed on a relatives garage with my 5 dogs. The wood is molding and rotting and I have been thinking of cladding it so it can last until I at least get a job and move out. This video is super helpful. Thank you.

[@matthiaswandel]

Depending on outside temperature, cladding may make it worse. If you live in it, and it's not insulated and no vapour barrier, it can cause condensation in the walls.

[@MrPhoenix1138]

@n325aej you don’t have dogs do you

[@MikkosFree]

@@matthiaswandel its exactly as you described. Rain is pretty much constant here and humidity is high. The plywood walls are starting to mold, and I cant afford to replace them yet.

[@twalt]

@@MikkosFree best of luck man, rough situation

[@MikkosFree]

@@twalt Thank you.

[@wojomojo]

The improvised bending brake is the one idea I will keep in the bag of tricks. Didn't know they sell 90º tin shears either.

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Seeing and hearing the door close at the end was satisfying. Nice mass/rigidity when it’s all together.

[@worstworkshop]

I like that rain-diverter-thing. I'm going to use that.

[@NicoSmets]

That hinge animation was great.

[@SciPunk215]

If the makeshift foundation stays put, this shed will last forever.

[@TimCortesi]

If the makeshift foundation fails, the shed will still probably last forever... it'll just be on its side at the bottom of the hill.

[@williamreinhard]

He'll most likely know that foundation is failing long before it actually fails and can reinforce it with something more permanent.

[@barrettdent405]

I believe the makeshift foundation has a lot to do with the Toronto Ravine Protection building restrictions and permit hassles. Because it’s not a permanent structure, (precisely because of that makeshift foundation,) he may well succeed in having a shed where it might otherwise not be permitted. However, I suspect jealous and self-righteous neighbours will make this all a tremendous hassle. By reporting the shed, triggering inspections and bureaucratic headaches.

With the steel skin, that door is VERY rigid and will not distort. Good job!

[@AlbertFilice]

Very satisfying sound when you closed the door at the end. Nice work, and as usual you seem to be able to make the most regular things interesting.

[@JohnColgan.]

Nice bit of enhanced engineering in that door build. Has a good solid clunk. Not a rattly ding. Great work!

[@RC-1290]

That door also sounds really good!

[@wayneyeo186]

Satisfying thunk when it closes... very nicely done !

[@terryproper6691]

very smart door design! I have a basement door that's an odd height (gotta love 100 y/o houses) that the previous owner replaced decided to put a particleboard interior door in the frame, and of course that's been crumbling for who knows how long. for the short term i wrapped a heavy tarp around it but i wanna put something a bit more substantial in that level entry before winter hits. your design looks like just the ticket!

[@Gun5hip]

The little piece under the window makes it look really nice.

[@ehRalph]

Great! I like how you improvise with basic tools and come up with exceptional, long lasting results

[@IslandHermit]

"This door is suddenly not so light any more." Yeah, those screws really add up. ;-)

[@TheBoshy]

Don't forget the weight of the construction adhesive!

[@nou4898]

and the dust too

[@plunder1956]

I love those right angle sheet metal cutters. But the Pantarouter is still an amazing No1 tool.

[@loumonte658]

Well one. I've been building screen doors for basements out of 5/4×6 decking PT boards with the bottom panel being PT privacy lattice and screen. Works great and lasts for many years if treated every couple of years. Great option for odd size door opening.

[@RichardGreco]

Very good video, great job on the shed. Good explanation of hinges and pivot points. A good metric of understanding/intelligence is how well someone can explain ideas. It is 'obvious' once the ideas is explained very well.

[@PatrickKQ4HBD]

Yes, to make the complicated seem simple is a special talent.

[@EvanDunville]

This gives me a lot of ideas for the shed doors I'm building right now.

[@jackdehaan2267]

Super nice job. And again, a project that many can relate to.

[@dominicforrer7828]

Always impress me with your tricks!

[@sdavidleigh6642]

I hate working with sheet metal and I could see your frustration as well but it so nicely done the demonstration. I may actually try this myself some day soon.

[@nelsondog100]

A cheap Chinese diamond hole saw cuts sheet stock like a hot knife through butter and leaves a very manageable burr. Nice Canadian shed sir👍

[@1956vern]

Looks good! Don’t have to worry about your builds because if it fails you will just build back a better structure!

[@MrGr8golf]

Great job. You never fail to amaze me with your talents. You really are blessed in many ways.

[@SparkysJourney]

So satisfying when you closed the door at the end. Great job

[@moretimethanmoney8611]

Gotta love those aviation shears.

[@giga-chicken]

I appreciate a shed with a proper door latch. Every shed I see in the wild just has a crappy little padlock hinge. My house came with a shed like that.

[@mikeregan3174]

And the sound the door made at the end 5:56 when it closed, was glorious.

[@artursmihelsons415]

This project looks better and better after every step.. 👍 Great when videos is shorter - I can watch theses even in short break. But I love longer videos too.. 😉

[@SiTengoTiempo]

Nice. That door sure was a lot of work!

[@MCsCreations]

Awesome work, Matthias! Well done! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@sapelesteve]

Very impressive build Matthias! I need to fix up my shed so this has given me some good ideas! Thanks

[@garagewizzard]

That is a nice looking shed Mr Wandel!

[@NamelessMoreOne]

I think I'm more impressed by your door-making skills than your shed-making skills.

[@mpare49]

Genius. Love your creativity.

[@GPDIY]

Wow. Amazing attention to detail!

[@specialks1953]

It is refreshing to see that even a Genius runs into unexpected problems and those pesky mistakes that us mere mortals experience!

[@velcroman11]

Great job Matthias.

[@paulsmyers203]

The universe is weird - when the video started I thought "I wonder if his kids are old enough to be interested in their dad's projects", and then a moment later there were little feets in the video!

[@brentfowler2317]

As usual awesome video my friend. Keep up the great work. I can't say I've ever seen one of your videos that I didn't enjoy. Even the really long videos.. thanks for the great content. Your awesome.

[@CCCfeinman55]

[@kouniao]

As usual, excellent craftsmanship. Thanks!

[@MRrwmac]

Matthias, Very nice design and build. Thanks for sharing it with us! Now let’s see how the little occupants come up with playing in it and their art decorations on the interior walls. Each child gets one wall of their own.... haha

Flaws are always present. Still a good job.

[@brianrobertson6475]

Great looking door... I'd add a chain and hurricane spring just to finish it off.

[@JasonJonesoriginal]

Love it. Do you need to treat where you cut the metal? I recently had a metal roof put on and some of the warranty for the metal sounded shady when talking about cuts. Its been a year later and now there is slight rust spots under the edges of my metal where the water runs off the roof :(

[@matthiaswandel]

I haven't run into any issues that way myself.

[@teenflon]

Love to see a job done well! Great handiwork

Always learning something new... Thank you. As always, totally awesome!!!

[@ooslum]

Sure someones already said but running the holesaw in reverse for thin sheet material is the way to go Mattthias.

[@matthiaswandel]

yes, that hole saw will jump up from the door, out of the drill chuck, and wrap itself around your head and decapitate you.

[@Kineth1]

@@matthiaswandel Make sure you get THAT on video!

There are commercially available offset hinges. They fit in the same hinge mortise. They are called swing clear hinges.

Very satisfying thump at the end.

Great shed! Thanks for sharing!

[@OutOfNamesToChoose]

You may want to put some silicone behind/around that handle, just in case water makes its way through the back hole in the metal sheet and into the wood.

[@jyvben1520]

Could have bent the sheet over the door edge and added some insulation tape to cover the metal edge. Now it is a rain catcher, also rain + wind, the eave may protect the part above the door most of the time.

[@BR0JASON]

1) How long did it take to build the door, in real time? 2) If you choose to get them involved, I look forward to videos a few years from now with you working on stuff with your kids. That will probably be amazing to watch.

[@antraxxslingshots]

May i ask why you went with metal on the sides too, apart from videomaterial? I guess a painted wooden house also lasts quite some decades as we can see for Amogla. So why the extra Mile?

Just faster and easier to put on.

@@SuperDavidEF Yes, I just discovered that I had missed that, not sure how that happened. Cheers.

[@leonsieberns9191]

Hi can you tell me the gauge and the tensile strength of the metal you are using.

[@F0XD1E]

Wonder how worthwhile the door insulation is with that single pane glass window. Wouldn't hurt, but there's going be be a lot of losses through the glass.

[@matthiaswandel]

by that logic, insulating the rest of the shed would be redundant too.

[@gregmize01]

Looks awesome!

[@JohnChapman7]

Total cost of the shed?

[@uberdash007]

Great job overall

[@cpobyrne1]

interested to know why you cut some of the sheet with a grinder and the rest with clippers?

[@matthiaswandel]

whatever works best for the cut

[@SeanHodgins]

If it gets enough sun, a little solar power system could be a fun project.

[@faraanhadi]

Too much tree cover

[@stevem815]

Most of my clients would balk at me suggesting I put this much work into the front door of their house. I'm actually surprised at the complexity of reaction this provokes in me. I'm conflicted between being jealous of someone having a life that allows time to spend doing something like this, sympathetic with the sensation of doing a nice, robust job of something simple, and frustrated that level of skill and attention to detail is being lavished on a garden shed. It seems like a gross misallocation of resources, like having Michelangelo painting warhammer figurines.

[@matthiaswandel]

A store bought steel clad door would be better for a house. But this is a really odd size.

[@PCz80]

Flawless victory

[@Dadmadeit]

Looks good! 👍

[@gordonpromish9218]

kinda curious why you chose to leave a flap rather than continue the bend around the side of the frame elements and tack it down there.

[@matthiaswandel]

because I wanted it to extend past the door.

[@FedoraSpunk]

Beautiful

What is the reason for floating tenons vs regular ones cut into the wood with pantorouter? Just curious.
