DIY Outdoor Lumber Rack for Tight Spaces, Part 2

[@GeneralSeptem]

I've had to hand saw enough mistakes that I really felt that, good on you for leaving it in.

[@alastairdallas]

Showing the mistakes and how to recover from them is excellent. Thanks!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks!

[@samueladams584]

As a amateur "carpenter" I find your videos very helpful.

[@SaraVV]

Thank you for showing the mistakes. It is really encouraging for me cause I'm bound to make a ton of them.

[@DawnMontgomeryAuthor]

That nail tip is so great! Thank you! As always, seeing your process makes this one of my favorite channels. Thank you for showing what went wrong and how to adapt while you're working. Looking forward to the third video!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks, Dawn! I'm glad to know I'm one of your favorites!

[@lauram9076]

Glad to see someone still knows how to use a hammer!

[@mikedixon8681]

Absolute best hat on any KZbin woodworker channel. 👏

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Now you just gotta sell my girlfriend on that idea - she says I look ridiculous! 🤣

[@INSIDEHARDWARE]

Finally a video with mistakes and non straight edges! Keep it up and your channel will do great! Post only successes and well... Keep it real

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! I figure if I show my mistakes, there will be less chance of others making the same ones. Of course, that won't prevent them from making different ones 😉

[@MichaelBrown-kk6ck]

Nice wide brim hat, Tommy. What is it? Good to see this build. Shed is a lot bigger than I thought. Store larger sheet goods in front of the racks? Be a bit inconvenient. Make a second shed for full sized sheets? Or do you just buy sheets as needed and cut them up right away? Maybe a ceiling-mounted pull-down rack (would need to be sturdy and need substantial gas shocks to help lifting all the weight).

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I forget what brand it was, but it’s gone now. I left it on a friends boat and he tossed it because it had a hole in it. On the last boat trip, I picked up a new one at a convenient store for $10...best one yet!

[@hugoromero8414]

Excellent video! Having no construction experiance I built my daughters a small playhouse (the size of a shed😁😁) and made all kinds of mistakes along the way I was fortunate to have my brother in laws help guide me and show me.... the point being thanks for showing your own mistakes along the way

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you! And congrats on building a playhouse for your kids - that's awesome! Although it may not seem like it at the time, mistakes are part of the fun, and mistakes make us better builders!

[@johnkelley9877]

I think it looks great! The construction looks very sturdy and it should last many years. Thanks for sharing this as I learned a lot from watching how you built it.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, John! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@lisaalbrecht7900]

Thanks for part 2. I’m looking forward to part 3 and the plans. I have my spot for my shed all picked out. I love how professional you are in your videos, even when telling us about the frustrations that you ran into during the build process. Great job!!!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Lisa! I appreciate the nice compliments, and your interest in the plans. I figured if I showed everybody how I messed up on my build, there would be pretty much no way they'd repeat the same mistakes. Now, that doesn't mean it will prevent them from make other mistakes though 😂 Anyway, thanks again!

[@wb_finewoodworking]

Looking good. Unsung concrete blocks was a super idea. I was thinking that I might have to have a concrete slab if I made something like this. As I mentioned on video 1 I’m still working on my design ideas. Right now I’m thinking of attaching the shed directly to the exterior wall of the workshop/garage. The next step will be convincing my wife that I need the shed. That will be the hardest part of the whole project.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

It always is!

[@frederickwatson557]

Nice work, I like your attitude. Straight forward, well planned, efficient, and adaptable.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Frederick!

[@andrewwappner5968]

Always love your videos. They are very clear and very approachable projects. One suggestion when showing your sketchup models at least in my opinion is to change it to perspective mode instead of parallel projection, so it doesn’t look all distorted.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, Andrew, and thanks for sharing your *perspective*, about the models 😉

[@williamellis8993]

Looking good, Tommy. I feel your pain. We've all had one of those "oops" moments in the middle of a build. Just fix it as best you can and move on. Most times if you don't tell anyone, they won't know.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you, William! And yes, I don't think anyone whoever looked at it would think it wasn't planned that way. If it was mounted to blocks or posts that were set in concrete, I would have redone the panels. As mentioned in the video though, it's never going to be earthquake compliant, so for the amount of work it would have taken to fix it, I had to let it go.

[@RoseWoodWork]

I really like it, allot of work though. Along time ago a friend of mine that like wood working help me out make a shed for lumber in my previous house, it was very functional but it was more like a box type kind of thing it hold up for 10 years. Anyway I like yours looks very study, I will got part 3 :)

[@billm4560]

I really like it Tommy! 👍🏻 can’t wait to see it finished! Oh one more thing... cool hat you have! 👍🏻Thanks for sharing!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thanks, Bill! To be honest, I was a little worried I might get some pushback about the hat...my girlfriend says I look ridiculous in it 😂

[@billm4560]

One Minute Workbench... looks good to me... wish I had one when I’m out mowing! 😊

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

It’s made by quicksilver and I got it on Amazon...I think it was about $20. I’d say it’s worth every penny...beats having to wear sunscreen.

[@billm4560]

One Minute Workbench ...Hey thanks man... I’ll order me one! Oh... your girl friend is just jealous! 🤣

[@jameslund221]

It’s nice to know I’m not the only one out there making multiple mistakes, over and over again. lol 😂

[@bobmaynard7968]

I really like your design! I would like to make one, but need to modify the specs somewhat. Do you have a set of plans that go with the video?

[@JWimpy]

Great looking storage unit. I can't imagine living that close to another house.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Ah, the suburbs! 😂 Thanks for the compliment on the shed!

[@Dream4Design]

Nice to see your work!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@hassanal-mosawi6049]

Well done, good for you!

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@robwagner2789]

Hi Tommy, you obviously took a lot of care to make the OSB work. What did you do about the seams between the back panels? (Apologies if you mentioned it and I missed it.)

[@LaT1n4e]

Hey there, great video ! what's the software you are using to do those 3d model ?

[@samueladams584]

I want to build shelves in my shed to organize, and I don't have a truck. If I rent a truck I need to have all my materials planned out to avoid extra trips.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I often rent vans from Home Depot - only $20 for the first hour, and that’s usually all I need. I find I prefer a van over a truck because you don’t have to worry about strapping things down.

[@PayneMaximus]

It wouldn't be a "real" project if there were no mistakes!

[@greglebeau9477]

Instead of nailing the roof truss could you pocket screw or toenail the truss?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

I don't see why pocket screws wouldn't work for connecting the truss to the members below, however it would be more labor intensive than using nails, and wouldn't result in much of an appreciable (or necessary) strength increase. I actually did toenail the backs of the trusses into the top plate of the back wall, but the real strength comes from the combination of connections coming from different directions. You've got the nails into the trusses coming from the OSB panels on the back wall, the toenailed nail going into the top plate of the back wall, the nails going into the support below the truss, and finally, the OSB panels on top that tie everything together. When you're framing like this, rather than trying to make one specific connection strong, you make a bunch of small connections. That creates more strength than you could get from any one connection point. Anyway, I hope this makes sense!

[@3jmontg]

Whats was the total cost of materials?

[@cabman86]

I think I would have extended the roof out a little more. Other than that, great build!

[@davidbenioff2916]

Man that sucks. But it is good to show that mistakes happen and do not mean that the project is lost and that they can be corrected...

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Life is full of moments where things don't go the way we want - you gotta make the best of it!

[@buzzgallagher]

Do you and SCOTT WADSWORTH shop in the same haberdashery. Love the shade!

[@warrenfogleman9962]

What is the total cost?

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

My build was right around $400. I hope this helps!

[@jsrjsr6105]

Why put the thing in the center of the side yard? Why not against a wall like a sane person?

[@kan-zee]

💪😎👍

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!

[@pcofranc]

Very nice. Thinks I would have differently: build everything in the driveway and roll it into place with boards on ground and dolly's. Use roof cement in a caulk cartridge to cover exposed nail heads. Always apply sand to the tar as the sun will quickly break down silicone and even liquid tar. Steeper roof pitch & roll roofing vs shingles. Sides of OSB - just paint. Shelves latex paint + coat of polyurethane applied with sponge or shellac or cheap stain to prevent sticking. Good call on using up left over pain on the inside. Also, and air sprayer or graco airless sprayer is a big time saver. Sides - use screws next time and finish with nails only once everything is right. Consider a palm nailer + predrill to avoid splitting - cheap & save for tight spots. Roof felt - ALWAYS use the thinnest as thick is very hard to work with and roll out in the sun for 4 hrs+ and lay it on the roof with just a few staples and leave it for a few days and you won't end up with ripples always staple inside out if possible.

[@Mitrasmit]

Love your SW animations, haha. Quick heads-up though, I'm sure you have the full license, but they're very aggressive in finding and suing people who don't.

[@OneMinuteWorkbench]

Thank you!
