We are Duca and Roberta, a Brazilian couple that during a sabbatical trip in 2016 decided to follow our dream. So, we created "Odd Life Crafting", a project composed of many smaller projects that we call seasons.
The first one was the creation of Odd Life Crafting. The idea was to build a metal boat to be able to travel the world taking our house with us, but we didn't have money for that. So, we started the next season: we built a tiny shipping container house with no prior experience in building to gain some skills to build a boat. When we were almost finished we found a boat 700km away from our hometown that was neglected for over 22 years and we spent 2 years refitting her (Season 3). The last season has been a dream coming true… we are exploring the Brazilian coast with OUR BOAT that we called Odd.. But wait? What happened to the house? Check out our website to know more about it www.oddlifecrafting.com/blog
We hope to inspire others to follow their dreams.

Luca you are not wasting anyone’s time. It is wonderful to watch someone develop his skills. And your modesty is a breath of fresh air.
I remember my first time cutting in hinges. Panicking in much the same fashion. You did good. I did mine all by hand. No jigs, just measuring. Your doing fine and as you say a great learning project. Keep at it you two.

One of the best parts of this us if Reberta can physically help or not, she adores you and never leaves your side. Your a very lucky couple.
Roberta and Duca, marvelous workshop, truly a massive project now into 20 days with more to come. By the time the workshop is finished it'll be summer in France. I haven't seen Roberta feeding the goat and sheep, nor have I seen the chickens of late? Can't wait for the electrical portion of your shop, should be really interesting. Thanks for sharing, your level of intensity building this shop is mind blowing.
Love the doors, nice fit. Love how you assembled the roof, ceiling first with a temp support, then the frame on top, etc., genius.

i have been following you for 5 years now and this is my first comment . Your roof sections could have easily been fixed from the inside if you had a strip of beading around the top edge of your walls. . This way it would be easy to disassemble . Good luck with your projects , Paul

Thanks a lot Paul. Yep for sure there are better and easier ways to build the workshop but when you build something for the first time at some point you need to commit to an idea/solution 😅 and the is something we love about this kind of project. We always learn something new that we can improve in future projects 🥰😅
Brilliant work all round. You have created something very useful and practical. Keep well and safe. James.
Congratulations Duca and Roberta on an excellent workshop. Your attention to detail is at an OCD level. When you go to transport the shed to its new location, can you rent a trailer to tow behind your van that could haul the panels without having to fully disassemble them? Thank you for sharing your fascinating adventures.
Good job Duca, only concern is ventilation for fumes. Staying tuned!

Duca, you are doing a wonderful job. Can I just suggest one thing for security of your tools, etc. Your hinges are on the outside of the door so, your doors open out. Anyone can take the pins out of your hinges and get inside, whereas, if your hinges opened your doors to the inside, your shed would be secure. Safer for you. If the hinges are in the inside, no one can hammer out the pins and get inside your shed. That is if your are wanting the shed to be secure. ❤
What a wonderful glow you have.
You made a simple framing and sheeting job very complicated. Still admire your work ethic and enjoy your channel.
Picking up skills. Protype takes more time and your filming too. My bicycle camper trailer with slide-out project has taken more time to build, than i thought. I learned to wield and do fiberglass. We really enjoy your channel. Thanks for explaining and sharing your thoughts and experiences.
I can tell the difference in the joy level on your faces now that you aren’t on the water. Not quite as elated with daily life. Soon friends. Very soon u return to your ultimate joy in life.
Nice workshop so far.

Hey Duka and Roberta, congratulations on your build of the workshop. And once it is completed then you can start the construction of the inside of your van and get that completed. And then you can move on to your boat build and get that on the road time is the essence of getting these projects completed. I send much love and prayers and encouragement to the both of you. And success in your projects. I hope one day I'm able to go sail with you. I'm an American Navy veteran that sailed on big ships.
If you will use this workshop outside later you can just add an a-frame roof on top. Perhaps with corrugated sheet metal. This could also give you a space t store wood etc protected from the rain.
Nice work shop

This reminds me of you both building your container home in Florianópolis, in what now seems so long ago. Watching you both building not only shows how it can be done, but the enthusiasm you have for setting a goal and seeing it through to the end. Well done!!
So much work. I hope it's everything you want, Duca. Be well. ❤

You can get a drill bit with a spring loaded center for drilling hinges
I wonder if you considered buying a 10ft shipping containerr. They are very easy to insulate and fit out. Admittedly it costs a few hundred euros to move. The big benefit is that you can sell it at the end of the project. It also provides secure storage for your tools. Alternatively I would have purchased a ready to assemble timber shed, I presume they are available in France. They take an hour to assemble.
Tout est très professionnel
Salut Duca, arrête de t'excuser, tu fais un excellent travail. N'oubliez pas que les routeurs et les modèles sont la bonne solution. Passe une bonne semaine!
Bravo, c'est vraiment super !
I subscribed to this channel when you were building a house using containers. So I was surprised you folks didn't use a container for your workshop. The big question is, will you have a washing machine in your shop? Cheers from Alaska
Duca …that shop is over the top ! You are doing a really good job on that!
That was a great idea to place a strip of would on the inside of the stationary door to block the cold air from going in.When you put the trim around the doors, it reminded me of how the bedroom in your shipping container looked. 😊
I'm so impressed with how well your English 🎉 and yes 100% she's glowing🍼🚼

Duca makes a beautiful workshop, but I wonder why Roberta is not allowed or can't help... All kinds of thoughts come to mind... 😉🙃😊
You could have oversized your door panels and that would have done away with screwing those extra pieces on the doors. If you would have put access panels in the side walls you could have screwed the ceiling/roof down from the inside of the shop. Foam insulation tape between all of the panels would have eliminated all of the air gaps. Just some thoughts.
Get a “awl”to mark centre of holes Duca it a very useful tool with many uses for marking out and giving a starter hole for your wood screw . It’s a very cheap too 1,1/2 to 2 euros , three at the most .❤️❤️

Properly walled ? I question plywood on the inside , kinda seems like overkill and heavy , I mean really it's the most work I've ever seen on a box ❤❤
You could always put a plastic or heavy curtain on the door so you could pull it closed when you are working to help hold in your heat.
Great Job! Also the word "Bottom" is not pronounced "Bottle"..... bottle is a a container, typically made of glass or plastic and with a narrow neck, used for storing drinks or other liquids. as "a bottle of soda pop". 🙂
Duca, did you leave tolerances for the doors to expand when the weather warms up, or is your construction scheduled to complete before the temperatures increase? A fix would be to use the 40 grit to take wood off where necessary. Roberta, is Duca starting to get a bit nervous about that other more important event scheduled down the road? Entertaining episode, it is. Bsst, :¬) Webhead USA
You are demonstrating a greater level of knowledge and skill than you say you have! And it is really looking good! Now, how about double entry doors so you won't release so much warm air when you go in and out! 😉 Just kidding! I thought your plan for doing the roof was clever! And Roberta helped with her suggestion! You have mentioned several times about rain coming in through the windows. Is there no glass in those windows? I can't tell. Does the family have cats or kittens? Or are there small chicks running around? It may be possible that a cat could get stuck behind the shop in the small gap between the wall and the shop. You are not going to be able to move the shop. If so, maybe you could shove some leftover insulation in the entry to the gap part way up.
Well done, guys!! As I recall, Duca, a few weeks ago you were questioning why Roberta is the boss. Now we know. You're the brawn of the operations; she's the brains! And, just out of curiosity, what are you going to do when you get ready to leave and the landlord decides he wants you to leave the shop in place as a playhouse for his granddaughter? 😁

First: price, second: condensation on a heavy weather, third: there was no way the container could be delivered to this land.
Why not rip 6" wide strips from a panel and screw them as an overlapping lock around the ceiling frames? Then you just have to remove these strips when dismantling the shop and you can leave the ceiling frames intact.
For this application, you could have put a few thin shims on the floor, and then put the door in place, on top of the shims. Then you could have put the hinges flat on the outside. And then removed the shims.

Duca, Why didn't you just screw the plywood to the frame while on the ground and then place it on top? In fact, you could have assemled the insulation and both plywood sides on the 4x8 frame and then place them on for the roof. The added weight would have been minimal. Now you need some ventilation installed.

A question is bugging me why didn’t you put polythene between the plywood and insulation of the walls to stop ingress of condensation??which is normal with that type of panel construction (on both sides ) . Guys ❤

Na verdade aqui é bem húmido, e esse espaço já está ajudando bastante para consegui estocar compensado por exemplo. Fora isso alguns projetos como a cabine de banho queremos usar resina epoxy que tem que curar a 18 graus. E aqui 18 graus durante a noite temos que esperar meses para acontecer, então que ja que precisavamos um lugar para guardar material pensamos pq nao aproveitar e construir um pouco melhor de uma maneira que conseguimos colocar um aquecedor dentro? Pra ser sincero financeiramente foi mais gasto que receita, mesmo que fazendo varios videos sobre, mas por outro lado vai ser muito útil. E a verdade é que quando não se tem experiencia a tendencia é criar coisas mais complicadas 😅. Vivendo e aprendendo, e aproveitando o processo. 🥰
Quando tiver alguma dúvida, pergunte a eng° Roberta , ela sabe 😅😂😂😂😂

Roberta, lovely lady, time for school of hard knocks. 1st, dont shave door to fit, unscrew plywood on that edge and pound 2x4 into position and rescrew plywood to hold 2x4 into place. 2nd, and this a BIGGEE, im gonna wait till u load the shed with all your tools, materials, and valuables, then im gonna show up with a hammer and nail, pop out the hinge pins, take the doors off and sell all your tools at the pawn shop. 3rd, put the hinges on the inside and live with in swing doors and think like a thief.
Not sure why you had to screw the plywood to the frame where the plywood/frame will be on top of the walls - just screw down from the top of the ceiling through the two plywood sheets and the frame. Still, it works either way.

Would have been cheaper and quicker to buy a shed and insulate it ? and saved money for your boat.
I understand that you want to build everything perfectly. But you should stop second guessing yourself so much. You are much better at building thing's than you give yourself credit for. Sometimes you overwhelm yourself with your overthinking. I appreciate you wanting to be a perfectionist, you did well sir 👏 you learn from everything you do and working with wood don't forget you will have swelling from dampness, so give yourself a little clearance for that.

To be honest on summer would be great to bring the humidity down for painting things. We did that a lot in the Caribbean on the boatyard. 😅 but this time won't happen. hehehe
Don’t paint the workshop .. why? It’s temporary and looks fine.
Does seem a bit excessive making it so airtight when you are going to need to ventilate it anyway. I reckon the money saved not making such an overengineered workshop would more than pay for a bit of electricity to heat something less perfect. You are not going to live in it.
again, do NOT put a table in that tiny workshop, use saw horses
