Hello, I am Gene from DIY Gene. I love creating new and interesting projects in my small work shop. Building things like steampunk art, guitars, movie props and occasionally review tools. I look forward sharing and interacting with you.
Hello, I have a few questions! What size cooler is that, and do you have any plans for the build? Trying to build one for my girlfriends dad

nice looking Metal brake, I don't really like the design though, I tried bending a sheet of metal 0.016" thick and the pressing plate was bowing in the center and everything was coming all out of alignment. it's not this exact metal brake, but one similar in design, personally I like the slide it through a slot and bend along the marks on the sheet of metal, having to clamp down a plate of steel, just to bend the metal, not the greatest in my opinion.

KUDOS on your review of HF Bauer cordless tools. I have been using Bauer 20v drill [I have 2] for several years and find them to be well worth the $$$. I did have to return one under warranty, which was replaced before I left the building. I also have a Dewalt DCD771 1/2" 20V MAX cordless drill with a 1.3Ah battery. I have literally run the Bauer [with a 1.5Ah battery] and the Dewalt, side by side on differ4ent projects and find VERY little difference in their performance. That's why I bought a 2nd Bauer 1/2" 20V cordless drill. I have 6 Bauer batteries from 1.5 to 5Ah and 2 1.5Ah Dewalt batteries. I also purchased a "converter" that allows me to interchange the Bauer & Dewalt between the different drills with now problems. I never took the time to add up how much I have saved by going to HF Bauer drills & batteries but overall, I would guess that it might be north of $300.00. I have 2 20V 1/2" drills, 1-20V impact driver, 1-20V 2500 Lumen Spotlight, 1-20V/120V Cordless Dual Power Fan, 1-20V circular saw and 1-20V 5" random orbit sander. Thanks for not bashing Bauer just because it comes from HF.

The WeCreat 20W Vision is so much more advanced and incredible than most KZread influencers go into depth about. The software is SOOO good that I rarely even think about using or needing Lightburn. The tumbler function is second to none! Engraving, cutting, it performs incredibly! The things I have produced using this machine are mind-blowing, especially considering the price point of the machine. This is THE perfect machine for a beginner but more than that. As one uses this machine it becomes apparent, very quickly, that this machine will take you almost as far as you want to go. For example, I am limited to certain size projects, but with a little thought I can double, or more, the size of signs. And, for a reasonable extra expenditure, I can use the pass through hardware to dramatically take everything to the next level. Most of the KZread influencers won't say this but I will; WeCreat has set the bar. Bang for the buck there is nothing else out there that comes close.

Great work brother,,, you get a thumbs up from me,,, I’m not a pro but I think they look great!!!!
Thanks so much for watching.
Commenting at 20:30. Have not seen the whole video. Why not make the doors as tall as possible? Bring the header all the way up to just under the top plate. On so many sheds I only had wished the doors were taller.
I’m going to put a porch on the front and need the doors to clear the porch.
Why no vapor barrier btw the studs and the siding?
If I was going to use a vinyl or lap siding, I could see doing that. But with T1-11 I didn’t think it is necessary. But I am no pro at this. I am learning as I go.
Great build Gene!
Never been so hot yet having so much fun.
🤗❤️👍
Thanks Robert.
You're starting! I'm so happy for my friend! I can't wait to see it. Hopefully I'll be back in the states in time to help you move in! (Then again, it took you how many years to get to this point? I may have to travel some more because you'll have me carrying roof trusses or something. LOL!) I can't wait to see the finished shop!
PS: Love the music selection!
Thanks Rick, it’s not Spain, but it’s my little heaven. But come on by. Plenty of trusses to go around. LOL.
It's looking good Gene and I like the color you picked out
Thanks Tim! I am having a ball!
Gene, what a trooper! Hanging walls alone if need be ;). Love the videos. Best Regards from Portugal!
@@fmlapa, Hello in Portugal! I am having a ball on a new adventure. Thanks for watching!
Congrats on the new shop Gene
Thanks David! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be finally starting it.
The WeCreat 20W Vision is so much more advanced and incredible than most KZread influencers go into depth about. The software is SOOO good that I rarely even think about using or needing Lightburn. The tumbler function is second to none! Engraving, cutting, it performs incredibly! The things I have produced using this machine are mind-blowing, especially considering the price point of the machine. This is THE perfect machine for a beginner but more than that. As one uses this machine it becomes apparent, very quickly, that this machine will take you almost as far as you want to go. For example, I am limited to certain size projects, but with a little thought I can double, or more, the size of signs. And, for a reasonable extra expenditure, I can use the pass through hardware to dramatically take everything to the next level. Most of the KZread influencers won't say this but I will; WeCreat has set the bar. Bang for the buck there is nothing else out there that comes close.
@@JoeyMassie, I would tend to agree. You will easily spend as much for an open frame machine and the a case plus all the other extras, and still not have as good of a machine. Thanks for watching.
And the end result is??? Looks like a 1000 + $ Stratocaster 👍👍 nice job, well done Sir 👍👍
@@robphillips8351, thanks so much. This was a fun project. I learned so much. Some the hard way LOL. Thanks for watching.
It's pretty amazing to see how low priced stuff actually is with guitar's. Biggest expense seems to be in the finish/paint. Likely due to time and hands on labor
I think you’re right. But if you love to work with things, it’s worth every minute. Thanks for watching.
@@DIYGene agree 110%
Brother, I cannot even imagine. I empathize with all of it, and man... it's rough how far in we have fallen into the rabbit hole. Glad it came out well for you.
@@bradleyking4313, Me too. We were at a bad place. But thanks to some really good people at Google and KZread , they helped me through it. Oh and a lot of prayer.
Love the real world insight.
@@bradleyking4313, Thanks so much. These are tools that I use in my shop. Some like the drills every day and others not so much. But I have found I can rely on them and for me, well that’s value. Thanks again for watching.
They look great and best w/o the cushions. I would drive a screw or two through each seatback upright into the side support to give the seatback some extra strength. That way you're not relying on the "Kreg" screws and glue as the only fasteners preventing the chair and couch from being recliners.
That’s a great suggestion. Thanks for watching.
you just need drink
@@allenriff9242 , I wish that would do it. LOL.
the cedar planks will shrink
@@allenriff9242, I think it’s important to get dry cedar. This will reduce the shrinkage of the wood. Then sealing it will help. Thanks for watching.
