Thanks for watching!

Thank u I've been trying to find the name for these for an hour

I appreciate the close up shots showing exactly how the components are fitted together. That’s very helpful for “building in my head” as I follow along. Also, it’s obvious you are as meticulous with your video production and editing as you are with your construction. The video is concise, informative and easy to follow. I’m a first time viewer, but I’ll be back for sure!! 😃

You are an excellent presenter and teacher. Thank you very much!

Work of art, couldn't make one as well as you, but learned a lot watching your build👍

Best video I’ve seen on how to build a cold frame. Thank you for sharing it!!

This gorgeous cold frame is meticulously crafted, as usual. May you get a jump start on your nutritious veggies the coming years! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for watching and your kind words!

Let me begin by saying you have the best design I have ever seen! Any comment I make is out of my ignorance and not any criticism of what you are doing. The front and the top of the cold frame would face towards the south, so the front and top of your cold frame are clear. Why is the back of the cold frame clear? I would have made the back of the cold frame and the two sides of the cold frame from wood covered in aluminum foil to reflect light and for additional insulation. What say you?

I made one of these thanks to you I have some plants growing in my greenhouse and it’s cold outside but it’s doing very well thank you

Lovely job, beautifully made. I wish I had your skills :)

Great design. Thanks for sharing. Heading to the store to buy parts.

love this!

Thanks for your video Very nice shop also nice tools .You are a craftsman.I'm a wood butcher so it's a pleasure to watch it done right

Thanks for this video! I'm sooo looking forward to planting season. Thanks for the help!

Its around the corner!

I'm jealous of that pocket hole machine. That's super handy. Thanks for the information, I'm going to try something similar.

Great cold frame

To open and close the door frame...you could make a half moon dial mounted at the top of the frame. Allow the half moon dial to be free enough to swivel it to the flat being down to open and allow the curved side down to keep closed. :)

Excellent work! Thank you very much!

What a work of art sir!

It's beautiful and will last a very long time! Great job!

great explanation. Thanks a lot.

awesome!!!

Beautiful!

Wow, excellent job. Very professional. I'm planning to build a similar size one to sit on top of my compost bin. Not quite a true hot bed, but hoping it will generate enough heat to make a difference. Using same material you did for my lid, but maybe double walled to trap more heat.

thank you for this video sir!!

Don that’s very good information mate, one project I’m wanting to tackle this year is making raised planter boxes to go beside my shed & ideas like this are great, cheers mate 👍👍👍

Very nice

Very nice job

Love this! Why do you have the back (which I'm assuming will be facing north) with clear plastic? Wouldn't it be more efficient to have wood there instead? Why not have the sides also in clear plastic so that the early morning light from the east could begin to heat up the cold frame? Also, where are you located (northeast? Midatlantic? Midwest? Westcoast? Gulf coast?) and what planting zone are you in? All of this makes a difference because folks in the upper Midwest (zone 5) would have different needs that folks in the Southeast (zones 7-8). Thanks for the video! Appreciate it.

I'm gonna have to put one of these together. Good stuff!!

I enjoyed the video. I would like to do the same along the south foundation of my house. My only question would be the lip that was created on the top edge of the lid where the hinges are. Does that hold water and create premature rot and also allow water to seep into the box? I haven't seen many designs, so I'm not sure if that's something unavoidable.

Just wondering why top lid has screws on top on the ridges and all others in the valley?

A fellow lefty. I'm wondering what tools you may have used that are specifically for lefty's and how you would rate them. Tape measures? The snips you used for cuttin your top glass were righty's. I have a pair of green snips similar to the ones you used for cutting the top glass that cut from the other side. They come in a package and are marked "For left cuting".

Good video, appreciated the still frames showing dimensions. Didn't care for all the ads though. Perhaps a little heavy-handed with the monetization settings.

How do you like that pocket hole machine ? Do you have to deal direct with Castle or do they have retailers ? Nice looking cold frame , that should last many years with the cedar .

It is a great machine. Has 2 routers mounted underneath. It is smoking fast and the screw angle makes assembly a breeze. Thanks for watching!

Really enjoy it. Let's check woodprix plans also.

I wish I have the tools and the material to make one

Why the screws on the lid had to go on the tops, and not to the valleys?

@homesteadhandyman4481

As the rain is draining it will flow in the valleys and can cause leakage.

how much would that cost if u were selling them??

What about the water hitting the top (back) board, then running down that 2" slope and into the crack between it and the lid (along the seam where you have the hinges) ?

I didn't think that would be a problem.

bad design; you should put glassing on E,S,W sides and on top; N side should be without glassing and preferably insulated; you did put glassing on N side which will cool the frame down; cold frames and green houses are about growing plants and using heat form the sun and not about playing with expensive tools and materials in the workshop

The cold frame is going up against a concrete wall which is it's north side. Blocks the wind and provides heat . Thanks for watching!

@@homesteadhandyman4481 HaHa I had the same question about the N wall, but would have stated it more civilly :) I know about how warm a concrete wall can get. Our south facing entry is just concrete stucco painted medium dark green and on a sunny day I can feel the heat radiating from it 3 ft away! What cold zone are you in? I'm in 5a and getting ready to build a cold frame to keep my spinach, lettuce and carrots going into the winter.
