One of the most common questions we get is... How do you learn DIY? I'm not sure there is really an answer however hopefully this helps explain how I learnt and how I always suggest people work their way through projects of their own.

I agree Tim, build a shed yourself rather than buy one. In 2021, i built a garden shed for a friend. 8x8 ft. Made from 3x2, OSB, 12mm ply, steel roof, breathable membrane, 10x1timber lengths and it came in cheaper than buying one by about £200. Outcome? Weighs over a tonne and will last a lot longer than one bought from a garden centre or whatever
Hi Tim, I’m not sure if you realise just how powerful this video is. You have nailed the essence of the right of passage of DIY projects. It’s something I haven’t really thought about before, but the incremental build in confidence, skills and tools starting with simple projects and gradually scaling up is REALLY important. You also make an excellent teacher!
I personally prefer a series of videos with plenty of detail. Perhaps a series and then the edited highlights in one long "hero" video?
Nice one Tim. Some sound advice there I reckon. As for the stand-alone projects you mentioned, I would fancy seeing a break-down of plans and the preparation involved in the process etc. Good stuff!
Hi Tim, laughed my socks off when you screwed yourself into the shed with the door locked! It was my laugh out loud moment for the day, so thank you! 🤣👍
"No-one woke up one morning and decided they were going to build a 4 bedroom house...".
Definitely as much of a breakdown as you can manage, Tim, with regard to any build. I’ve learnt so much watching your videos! Kind regards to you all from Penny in Liverpool 🇬🇧😊💕
I was told that locks only stop honest people. Lovely encouraging video. Thank you.
Great Vlog Tim and brilliant for people just starting. Ref the Bike store and Bin store breaking it down has to be the most beneficial way for your audience and 100% my preference. Thanks again
There IS one wood treatment that actually works, it stains/protects retains it's stained look without varying colours and lasts decades.. It is used by Parks Canada in several of our National Parks including Banff, Kootenay and Yoho National Parks. It is called Life Time, it is a powder that you mix with water and apply, non toxic and gives fantastic lifetime results, check it out. But you are correct cut new wood will never retain it's "new" look.
This is why I originally watched your videos, back when you were making your garden paths. Love it.
Excellent video as always, I give full credit to the restoration couple for guiding my diy journey, from doing fencing, oak sleeper walls / beds to now renovating an old property, big thanks as always! Would love to see a breakdown of the new project, yeh details you add are really interesting 👍
I was taught that ledged and braced doors should always have the bracing going down from the hinges. That way the vertical boarding stays closer together. If braces go up, the boards will open and the door will widen and bind.
Would love to see a breakdown set of videos on your next projects. Really enjoyed this one as well. Thanks Tim 👍🏼
Definitely episodes rather than one final video. Your workshop and oak framing videos helped me build my oak garden room extension. Excellent
Great vid thanks !! Best bit "doors locked". Really good practical advice ! Subscribed !
Very true Tim, this is exactly what I did, I couldn't afford a play house after my son was born so I made one, it ended up almost as expensive but its still going strong in the garden for the grandchildren 30 years later and it's been relocated three times ! Since then I've built numerous sheds, workshops, greenhouses, log stores and it's all just a matter of scale !
Love watching you build something... bin and bike store ...👍👍👍
Tim, I dip in and out from time to time to your channel, because there is plenty out there, but I thought this one was extremely helpful for someone (like me) projecting a house build or substantial conversion upon retirement (5+ years out still) and trying to assess whether they have the confidence and competence to "do it (solely / mainly) yourself" or pay for third parties to do it (at far greater cost). THANK YOU for the content, and for continuing to think about your viewers and what they may want to see. I want to see you build the two external buildings (bike shed / bin shed) in as much granular detail as you can possibly bare!
Lovely guy and superb advice. Just do it. The great is the enemy of the good.
