Must be hard to enunciate with your tongue so far up his arse 😂

Stuart your standard of work is 10/10 … clearly taking your time and having some good kit really makes it easier 👍🏻

These are my favourite types of your vids Stuart - nice, easy to follow, mini videos for a specific DIY project. I didn't even realise cordless staplers were a thing, I've always used the same as yours albeit a Dewalt version. Liked the close up of your laser mitre - and it reminded me that i need to dig out your "how to set a mitre to 90 degrees" video as my blade is currently slightly off from the laser bizarrely so i'm not getting particular good cuts at the moment!

Very nice build, I learned a few tips as well. I liked the idea of overdrilling the hole so the screw slides through. Lining the box with plastic would have never occurred to me. Thanks

Brilliant!! Straightforward.... no frills . To the point and great advice. Keep them coming

Love this book! kzread.infoUgkxpCNxqmAkyjN6NPx1fyB7QiEFWyO5mUWL it is simply one-of-a-kind! I really love it, because karah explained all tools required to have the job done, not mentioning the fabulous diy pallets ideas. I'm pretty sure this will be a fresh start in my new endeavour. Amazon was great, they delivered on time. Thank you!

Content, explanation, narration, sound and video editing is amazing. Thank you for posting!

Nice that you hilight correct size pilot holes and the clamping effect of screws - I only discovered this recently - couldn't suss out why no matter how hard I tried sometimes timbers wouldn't clamp together - then I realised they were always being held apart by the thread. I always go for partially threaded screws these days - such as Screwtite, very good.

Great vid, like you I've been pricing up garden storage and nearly had a heart attack, this one looks a lot better & will be much stronger too. Another project for me to get on with!

I enjoyed watching that - and it's given me an idea for a proper sized bike shed to go in the garden which I may well get around to building over the forthcoming few months

Another clear an easy to follow diy video Stuart filled with tips an tricks along the way. Fantastic video keep them coming please.

Wow putting aside the labour you built that at a very reasonable cost. And off course there is that satisfaction in DIY.. good job!

Always a great watch Stuart, I would love a workshop like yours keep up the great work 👍👍

Great job without any fancy equipment 👍

Thank you so much!! I too have been pricing outdoor storage bins. I want my shopvac outside. I’ve watched other videos on running PVC etc.. I also saw one comment on hiding the ugly gas meter. I may do that first as it will be a little smaller. I appreciate your time and effort.

Great job - just what I was after having seen prices from £1.5k - £2k for a patio cushion storage box. Like the tip on getting the plastic fixed before the feather board.

Cracking build, nice and simple explanations. I might add a small chain or cable to the lid to stop it possibly opening too far by accident. Great stuff.

Great job. I happened to build a similar box a few months ago. I did not have access to feathered edge boards which created a problem with the lid. I used 2x3 rather than 2x2 for framing. I wishi had those hinges to keep the open lid vertical. I used castor wheels rather than short legs. Ultimately, I ended up with a heavy box. Your design is neat and the finished product awesome.👍

And here I thought I was the queen of using fence pickets to make things. This storage box is brilliant!! I made some patio furniture out of fence pickets and 2x4's but storing the cushions was always a headache. This box solves that problem, looks quite smart, and costs a fraction of Ikea. Thank you, thank you!! 😊

Good work Stuart, has given me an idea on how I can build a bike storage shed to get them out of my garage and reclaim some man cave space

I liked the quip about the track saw, I use the same type as you!😁 I know many makers swear by them but a circular saw and a bit of time making a straight edge does the job for me. I even use the same type of cordless stapler. Great box and easy to follow instruction. Brilliant!👍

A very useful and informative guide. I learnt a lot, thanks very much. I am going to make one of these for our chair cushions and make some space for myself on my garage shelves.

Thanks.This is a super project. I like the three words Drill,glue and screw. This us the manthra for joinery

Taught my daughter to sort straight bits of wood in the yard at B&Q when she was about 4 (tbh, just trying to keep her occupied, lol). Her line "well, it's staight for B&Q" has got many a chuckle from other shoppers.

Excellent work Stuart, that was a brilliant idea for outdoors, I also have one of those cordless staplers, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia.

Glad I stumbled accross this. Was enjoyabve and relaxing to watch. Many thanks!

Nice box Stuart. As someone lower down mentioned, a larger version of this for a wheelie bin screen is a definite possibility for me. Your manual stapler looks easy to use. Mine is not, so I invested in a Worx cordless stapler / brad nailer a few months ago to replace it. I have other Worx tools so I didn't need a battery or charger to go with it so a reasonable £72 at the time. Much easier on my arthritic hands.👋

Hi Stuart.the video’s you put on you tube have been a favourite of mine ever since I saw the first one.I liked the idea of lining the inside of the storage box .was thinking of doing the inside of my new shed with the same to keep out draughts

Brilliant as always - I now have exactly what I need for making a couple of cold frames - just by not putting in a bottom & a slight change to the top Like some other comments i would love to ses some stuff about stuff made solely out of reclaimed wood & pallets as you need to take out a mortgage to buy timber these days - just finished an open sided 7 X 4 by 6 foot log / wheelbarrow / fertiliser etc store out of old fence posts a privacy screen & side gate & 4 or 5 pallets & it still cost far more than i expected just buying additional battening & OSB for the roof

nice bit of kit .would love to see a multiple wheelie bin project

Another cracking vid Stuart. Looks very professional and I would quite happily buy that if I saw it on sale in a shop.

Thanks for this Steve been planning on doing something like this for a while but now after watching you l have no hesitation in going ahead 👍

Absolutely brilliant. Many thanks! You are a great teacher.

Nice project. First time seeing your vid's. I'll check out some more. Nice to see someone using a diy cutting board. It blows my mind what folks spend on 'track saws'!!! If I may make a suggestion, a bead of appropriate sealant around the wood faces, at the edges of the palstic sheet would help to water proof further and also help keep bugs out some.

You are an excellent teacher Stuart, I pick up a lot from these. What is not remarked upon is your considerable skill at video and editing which must put hours on your work. Many thanks and keep up the good work.

I've just finished an adapted version of this. One half of the box hides our ugly gas meter whilst the other is enclosed to serve as storage for parcels etc if we are away. I followed Stuarts methods and am really pleased with how it turned out. It blends in nicely against our cottage wall. Keep up the excellent content Stuart!

It's a smart meter so no need for the company to physically read it. If they did need to and fancied anything which may have been placed in the other side, it's covered by a camera.

Finally, somebody who understands I don't have bazillion pounds to get my garden furniture done! Thank you sir.

Nicely done. One possible improvement might be to paint the bottom OSB with heavy duty porch paint. I see why you wouldn't want to cover that with plastic (would get scuffed etc).

I like that a lot! As you rightly point out the plastic varieties are pretty poor compared to that and more expensive! Quality video and thanks for sharing 👍 😊

I saw that too and was going to comment. Also, I wonder if the wood on the lid would be better if the boards were reversed, like the thinner sections angled down instead of the thicker section. Overall, a really nice piece.

So easy to watch. Great presentation.

Proper job Stuart, all these sorts of projects Stuart you should draw up some plans and sell. Out of all these you have done so far I think I would have bought 3 or 4 sets of plans off you.

Very nice! I recently clad my brick shed in the same material. To keep the line correct, I shimmed out the bottom edge of the lowest strips of featheredge, as if they were overlapping a piece below. Also, I was going to paint it, either with Cuprinol Garden Shades (or Wilko's equivalent), or masonry paint; but in the end I used Screwfix No Nonsense clear wood protector. It's basically white spirit, with some additives, and it imparts a slightly golden glow to the wood, and looks superb. I like the idea of the plastic beneath the lid, although I would probably have just used a sheet of OSB and some roofing felt.

If direct rain is a concern, maybe making the lid a little wider and having a thin piece of wood on the lid lapped over the wall to keep the driven rain out could help. Nice build and thanks for sharing. It turned out great!

Love it!! Been consuming this for months now and I like it A Lot ;)

Really enjoyed this, my OCD was screaming at the glued butt joints but you're 100% right it's not necessary to use fancy joinery on a project like this. My only one criticism is the lid seal, water will get in under that lid something like a stick on/staples rubber door seal will fix easily enough.

really enjoying this video it came up in my suggestion to watch something different

Hi Stuart. I have just stumbled across your channel/videos and all I can say is I'm glad I did. Love the channel. Great videos, very informative.

Right there with you on the cordless stapler... light and easier to use! :D

Remembering to put the small plastic feet into the end of those legs is going to make that last forever, the water that would have been sucked up through that end grain would have ruined it over time 👍👍 good work

Excellent project just like the others. I might use the same design for planters. Well done Stuart.

That looks brilliant and the size can be varied to suit I guess.

Great video Stuart. The best thing about this basic design is that it can upscaled or down sized to fit whatever you need and still keep it within a reasonable budget. This is (practical) Proper DIY at its best.

Another cracking project. 👏

Love this. Is there a similar way to do this with fence pickets vs the feather edge boards?

Yep agree with you there Great video and full of good tips Thanks Stuart
