You two work so well together; it is so nice to see. Years of experience, yes, but you know how to handle differing qualities of material, coordinate your work flow, keep a shop organized and tidy, handle tools with care and do a crack-up job with your running commentary. Thank you!

[@AnthonyJerome]

Shed Happens is back, yeaahh baby! 🎉

[@davidschnell2591]

One good thing about working on a big boat project is that you also end up with lots of cool tools to work on your shed! Thanks for your videos. Always fun to watch.

[@robinday2392]

It looks fantastic. My god you can tell the amazing knowledge you've brought to the table from building motor homes etc.Well done too you both x

[@ronkluwe4875]

Simon - Major safety tip here for using a table saw. Always have the blade height just barely above the top of the piece being cut. That way if you slip and fall on the blade for some reason while cutting, you don't end up horribly maimed or dead. What you were doing there is a big no go and proper saw blade height is one of the first things taught to new woodworkers. Keep safe.

[@geoffroberts4267]

I have to agree with your comment on workshop safety.. I cringe every time I see Jenna's long hair hanging down only inches away from the saw blade.60 years ago when woodwork and metalwork were taught at school you had to place your tie inside your shirt.

[@everestyeti]

I'm just in the process of reworking my workshop, so thanks for the idea. Really like the cabinets and using the plastic bins, great idea. 👍

[@marksmith-ew7ir]

Nice to see the shed beening loaded up with space to store and plenty of plug sockets ,saves extension leads and working from home means less time on the road between the boat workshop and the boat.

[@waynehutchinson293]

Simply the best homemade workshop ever 😁

[@ShipHappensUK]

Wow, thanks!

[@shelleyregnier6671]

Ooooh, lovely! I know you will have fun organizing all your bits n' bobs in that great space. I'd recommend a peg board of some kind and also a dry erase board for all your to-do lists & plan doodles.

[@Crommy1968]

Nice little log burner and you would be ready for a typical English winter 🥶 🥶🥶👍🏻👌

[@icmailers-o4r]

I'd bet that room smells amazing!

[@dougmacleod7241]

The shed/shop is looking great!

[@lauralake7430]

You know you live in the land of the grown ups when matching bins is your idea of a nice treat 😂❤

[@billmeldrum2509]

Congratulations. That’s going to be a very efficient shed. 🇨🇦

[@mikeskelly2356]

A coat of thinned epoxy will keep your work tops from absorbing grease, oil and diesel, while making clean up easier. A few holes drilled along the back will provide storage for frequently used screw drivers and chisels. Adding several hooks along the wall above the work tops will help keep 'stationary' tool wires up out of the way and safe from harm. I'm retired now and don't do as much work in my much smaller shop, but all these ideas made things a bit easier... Good job! 😊👍✌

[@chrisc3681]

Excellent work, as always.

[@lv_woodturner3899]

WD-40 is useful for removing labels. It softens the glue. I use it to remove the remnants of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive when I need to replace e.g., my 12in sanding disc. There are specific label removing products, but most folks have a can of WD-40 around.

[@geoffwoodgate7450]

It can also be used for softening silicon bath sealant.

[@icmailers-o4r]

Loving that look of natural wood plank walls. Great looking space!

[@plymouthy36]

Woah, I have major shed-envy!

[@andrewrolfe4334]

Beautiful! Two thumbs up!

[@ShipHappensUK]

😘

[@Parknest]

Gemma, this is hardly a "crappy shed". It is a LOT better than the one I built. The sooner you're out of the unit the better. Thos Halfords tool chests are fantastic. I've got the grey ones for my modular tray sets. It helps keep all my tools organized.

[@alexugljesic]

Beautiful workshop! Well done!

[@fredjcarss7788]

Amazing shed. I’m envious 🤣. Mine is all recycled furniture and I think I need to follow your example when I can afford to. Great work.

[@jamesa7506]

Your neon light is pretty cool 😎 👌

[@johnrobbo69]

Looks the nuts! Awesome teamwork as always

[@JamesHardiman99]

Well done: looks great!

[@maxpacker5288]

simon that looks good enough to move into when the stuff hits the fan

[@Jayguy1966]

That is one of the best looking sheds I've seen.

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you

[@davidflamee]

Brilliant project, well executed. Can't wait for the next instalment.

[@simsjef]

Been wondering how you both were going to kit out the shop and it is really looking good what you have already done. Love these series about the shed because it ties right back into Serenda. Great entertainment as always.

[@brianmacadam4793]

Just took a look at your "episode 1" You two have taken this on WITH A FAMILY !!

[@bin_chicken80]

That instruction toss was perfect 😂

[@JohnVegas]

Good idea to make everything standard size. God bless.

[@dundasjunctionmodelr.r-jam8267]

Just wondering how you will work on your ship without the big workshop or you changed your mind and going to keep it

[@PeterCut62]

Very neat shed ! Cheers mates.

[@davestorer4391]

Lovely workmanship but it will never float.

[@geoffhaylock6848]

With these 2, never say never 🤣

[@divarachelenvy]

fabulous work

[@juergenzenner4219]

Great job. The fantastic work can continue much more comfortable ❤

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you! Will do!

[@fishingforbiteswithmo]

Looks fantastic 👍👍

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@allenhatt3433]

Now that what I call a fantastic tablesaw❤

[@fonhollohan2908]

nice and organized I need to come up with something like what you've done to organize underneath my benches in my garage. That will make it look much more cleaner. LOL

[@garymucher4082]

Your shed looks very nice and the added benches add to that great look. You may want to seal the tops of the OSB to help keep stains at bay. But it looks like a nice place to build whatever you two need now... Thumbs Up!

[@DracoFalcon]

Looks great!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

great vid on channel nice work on the shed build thanks lee

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thanks 👍

[@kevinmartin3859]

Excellent job well done 😊😊

[@TheMrbazooka]

Top Job 🤘

[@trashandtrail]

Cutting through blue painters tape on MFC usually gives you clean edges.

[@lauralake7430]

Great tip!

[@johnnorth77]

Wonderful job 🙂⚓

[@davidelliott5843]

I made my rolling tool cabins with 18mm OSB for the carcass and 11mm OSB for the drawers. Drawer fronts are plywood. The case sides are covered with off cuts of commercial banner material. It’s really solid and its utility look suits the purpose. Edit. OSB won’t delaminate like any affordable plywood does. But the edges will crumble. I screwed 20mm hardwood edge to the 18mm OSB front edges. The 2mm stand-off actually looks great. Probably better than a flush face.

[@johnkauffman6347]

Awesome job and Gemma you are looking good as usual. 😎

[@ShipHappensUK]

Thank you!! 😁

[@grendel1960a]

when i did my latest workshop bench, I used 3/4" plywood for both the shelves and the bench top, with 3x2" timber to make the supports, I ended up with 2 3/4" ply layers as the bench top, but I do use a large cutting mat to protect the bench

[@ianhawkins7387]

great job guys

[@freemanjackmsiradio]

You guys theme song should be found a jb by the Talking Heads; [Verse 1] "Damn that television, what a bad picture" "Don't get upset, it's not a major disaster" "There's nothing on tonight," he said, "I don't know what's the matter" "Nothing's ever on," she said, "So I don't know why you bother" [Verse 2] We've heard this little scene, we've heard it many times People fighting over little things and wasting precious time They might be better off, I think, the way it seems to me Making up their own shows, which might be better than TV 😀

[@ianmcdonald6598]

Hi Simon and Gemma ,only 20 odd minutes to do that job!! The 'other half: wonders if she can hire you to do our kitchen!!! Do you draw these projects out first so as to get an idea of quantities and layouts , or is it off the cuff. Very impressed with the appearance and finish and like the plastic bins rather than doors. That shed is very evenly lit too, and well done - back to the boats!

[@martynbuzzing3327]

I have the same top box. But it sits on a bench, so not so high. Nice workshop guys. 😊

[@tomcarlton854]

Tast of the interior quality / style to come....!😊🫡

[@jonathanhughes380]

You guys are doing a nice job on that shed build the only thing is you're making me cringe with that table saw blade so high it really should be no more than a few millimeters above the thickness of your stock. Obviously for safety reasons big reason how people lose fingers keep up the good work

[@dlfendel2844]

Lovely work AND if the boat restoring thing doesn't work out, I see a bright future making flatpack cupboards under the name "Oikea, Mate!" :) \

[@Warped65er]

Thx for the vid.

[@davenaylor8076]

Did you cut the two wings of the OSB corner piece to the same length? Is so you will be able to flip it once the top surface is “used” and get another go with the underside on top. The other two end lengths could also be flipped. Two uses from the same board would fit well with your budget approach to this job.

[@SavingMaverick55]

Today on Shed Happens... Particle board work benches!

[@robina.jensen6114]

I have made work tables with OSB board. I have given the first a layer of epoxy resin and the second table a layer of polyester resin, I think the epoxy did the best since the polyester resin, due to the smell, continues to emit odors into the surroundings even days after it is finished.

[@taskforce3833]

looks good, wish i had a shed..

[@barrywood5357]

Gemmas got wood again lol very nice when you coming to do mine pleeeeeeeese

[@tinybrown6710]

To get sticky labels residue off, use lighter fluid 😊

[@TheCNCDen]

White spirit is brilliant at removing sticky residue. OSB looks good, probably a lot better than the MDF I went for that just soaks up an spill and starts to crumble.

[@stevenborman9110]

I have seen folks use a boot polish on that wood you have for the worktop, slather it on and wipe off and colour is left in all the grains. Maybe a nice red to match the floor :) Then Gemma can " varnish the shed" time :)

[@lauralake7430]

Im thinking of doing French cleats on my shed walls, have you two heard of those? Love your shed build. Hoping i can get my floor painted before winter!

[@trevorpalmer1891]

nice job!

[@joncrisp7365]

Love it

[@barrywood5357]

Gemma can you confirm that you have strapped the tool box to the wall for tip over safety precautions i speak of experience ouch

[@ShipHappensUK]

No we haven’t, as we haven’t filled it yet and we also haven’t worked out it’s location in the shed yet,

[@tobyz.3452]

Looking Good you guys! Greetings from Chicago suburbs, USSA hahahaha.

[@Guvnor100]

Think you might regret the osb worktop. It's very slippy, doesn't hold together and gives the worst splinters. Maybe put a timber batton on the front edge, make sure you glue it though if you do. Love you guys stuff, been watching for a long time. Look forward to seeing you work in the shed workshop

[@billmoran3812]

Don’t know if you have room for that big table saw in the old shop. I don’t do much wood working anymore, but that machine is a treasure! I’d be sad to part with it.

[@bruceyoung1343]

Where’s the rudder ? Looks GREAT 👍 😮

[@andrewmaiden3738]

Not really jealous of your shed but very envious. It is fantastic. I seem to recall you were planning on getting out of your old workshop as a cost saving exercise but looking at all of the equipment in that workshop do you think it will all fit in and still give you working room?

[@claeswikberg8958]

sticky glue residue, can be removed by smearing butter on it and spraying water on it and rubbing it with a rag, no, im not joking it actually works

[@charlescorris3469]

I don’t think it looks cheap. I think it looks good…

[@GeorgeKucy]

why do you keep the saw blade on you table saw so high little dangerous I think for you but keep up the good work really like watching you guys work

[@18robsmith]

OSB is remarkably tough wearing - it might even be Simon proof for a couple of years ;-)

[@ChazzyB-2024]

I was wondering how the shed was coming along. You seem to still be getting a lot of use out of your workshop, when do you have to give it up? I think I have storage envy now.

[@alanwhittington9528]

At 15.35 seconds a wide load was reversing! lol nice one Simon

[@shelleyregnier6671]

Are you kidding?! After all this hard graft on the ship and shed Gemma is FIT!

[@DavidWieder216951]

Looking Good. But the real question is, moving from old to new HOW much stuff can you allow, force yourself to throw out.

[@Dave-uf8ek]

That floor must be very level.

[@serega_craftsmen]

Если на распиловочный станок установить подрезной диск маленького диаметра, то сколов на торце не будет. Можно обойтись и одним большим диском, но в таком случае придется делать 2 прохода: первый - опустить диск до 3 мм, чтобы прорезать паз; второй - поднять диск, чтобы полностью разрезать ДСП

[@keithwaynehopkins8593]

Now is that long veacal reversing or heavy goods reversing

[@briancoetzee339]

Great new workshop, but how are you going to fit all the goodies from your old shop in, especially the tools.

[@ben2e0omr]

What, no Sharpie.. Excellent job and better quality than Magnet...

[@wanglydiaplt]

Nicely done but in a small shed like that one try to keep as many big tools and workstations as you can on wheels so you can move them around to make room for large workpieces.

[@peteramberley9952]

Them grey plastic boxes are cool where did you get them from?

[@ShipHappensUK]

B&Q, really solid boxes, and they were on offer for about £8 and when you buy 2 you get 1 free!

[@k-man1372]

It really is the ultimate DIY shed however where is that massive panel saw going?

[@dcallan812]

Most of the time time you wont see the worktops, because they will be full of parts to go back on the boat, so not much point going for oak butchers block you can always sand and paint them if you get board looking at them. 👍👍

[@flybywire5866]

There is a channel "Shed happens" based on a former Amish guy repossessing sheds when payments are not made. The ceiling lights are really nice!

[@georgeshehan5150]

WD 40 removes stickers without removing paint.

[@bobmcdermott9535]

Probably a silly question, will you new shed fit all the big equipment in?

[@lawgoch]

It all looks great! It's a shame that the tool box is blocking the neon, though.

[@ShipHappensUK]

It doesn’t block the light when it’s against the wall

[@glynluff2595]

What concerns me is how you are going to get your static machinery into your shed for it seems to be of larger scale than your new floor area! When do you move it - Michaelmas?

[@paulheitkemper1559]

naptha takes sticker goo off without ruining anything.

[@NixFlix_]

Hmmm… just realised KZbin hasn’t been showing me your videos for a month…. Got some to catch up on 😅

[@fhwolthuis]

WD40 is great for removing sticky stuff 😅
