I'm Angus. I live in Walton on Thames in Surrey, in UK. I created this channel initially to document the things I have been up to, such as building a big shed in my garden and doing DIY projects, baking and travelling (not at the same time)
I have also documented my hair transplant journey to show what is involved and hopefully to debunk the myths around this. I wanted to be as open and as frank as possible,
I have also uploaded live music i have been playing. I play bass in a band and sing in a covers band.
The music in my videos is all the stuff I have written and recorded.
Here is link to my music

How s today...After 5 yrs😅...did u notice hairloss again or still on your head?
@@MrRoberto984 Hi, it hasn’t changed much in the last 5 years. There’s no further hair loss but the crown area is still a bit thin on top.
@@AngusMcGregor u probably Need the 2nd? I m at month 7 of the First session. Next year i ll full up the vertex

@@victoriaman117 50,000 what?
@@AngusMcGregor pounds lol (couldn’t find the symbol). I live in Canada where that’s not even a joke.
It looked good both ways
Hi Angus great tips but ive got a really bad patch I cant seem to sort out - can you put oil work top sealant over varnish ?
You will need to take the varnish off first. You can use turpentine as I have done in a section on this video. Then sand it down. Then put your oil on.
Will it rot the timber
All the timber is treated. I’ve put the timber at the base on concrete blocks to allow air circulation.
@@AngusMcGregor my timber is just wood all across so no gaps like decking and it’s on soil though wil it be ok or shall I remove and slab is as money is a issue
@@ItzKaiyun Hi, you will need to raise the timber off the ground or lay on concrete blocks or slabs or a solid concrete base. I also used a damp proof membrane to stop any damp rising from the base.
@@AngusMcGregor shall I just buy some slabs and lay them on the soil or do I need sand and hardcore ? And if u can give me estimate how much I need 16x8 ft area pls. I’m so stuck I just have wood on soil like decking but might rip it all up today
@@ItzKaiyun Dense concrete blocks or high density blocks are your best and cheapest option laid on 1 to 2 inches of sharp sand.
Did you use timber base or concrete Looking to build a summer house 16x8 to put small gym in. I have wood base already from my decking which is laid. But it’s laid all the way across with no gaps. Can I use as a base? Or do I need cement or slabs.

Hey Angus - was it the radiator repair kit you used?
It wasn’t a kit. I just used jb weld.
@@AngusMcGregor Thanks for getting back to me, didn't realise how many different versions there were until I look on amazon. Is it just the original black and red tubes? Thanks
@@fetchmeacoffee I used JB KWIK 0:35
@@AngusMcGregor Thank you so much
Did you sand in between coats of oil?
I didn’t sand between coats as it would create more sawdust and stick to the surface. Once the sanding is done I made sure there was no dust for before the oiling stage.
@AngusMcGregor that's what I thought aswell so I was confused when I heard people on other channels saying they sand in between coats!! Makes no sense but then I don't know anything so thank you for confirming!!!
@AngusMcGregor sorry to keep asking questions but I'm just doing it now and got a couple more. Do I have to go with the grain or can I go against, in circles, etc? And also if I'm going over tough bits more than other bits is that okay or will it lead to dips in the surface where patches have been sanded loads more than others due to getting stains out etc?
@@laurenbrizon Hi. Go with the grain. Are you using an orbital sander it doesn’t really matter too much but just work in even motion. If you are concentrating on one area just keep the sander moving to avoid an indentation. Run your fingers over the are to feel if you have caused and indentation. If you have juts sand it out by sanding round the area with an even motion for even coverage.
@AngusMcGregor okay thank you that makes sense! How often do you change the sanding paper? I couldn't tell just by touch if it needed changing but when I did it seemed to work better straight away, but I'd only used the first pad for about 10 mins or so... promise that's the last question!! Thank you so much for all the replies I really appreciate it!
Thank you, just the instructions I needed as want to put up a ceiling dryer
How long would you say it took for each stage? Especially the sanding?
It took me about 2 hours in total including the sanding and sealing the worktops. Clearing the area 10mins,Sanding 45mins. Wiping and hoovering sawdust 15mins.sealing 10mins each coat. As this was a large area it took longer. Where maintained this recently it only took 20mins to do.kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZK2Bqsd9dNGWldY.htmlsi=F12kbn9OOJjSNN5s
@@AngusMcGregor amazing thank you
Hi Angus what’s your thoughts 5 years after your hair transplant was it with it? Many thanks
Hi, Yes still the same, I am glad I had it done. I could do with what they called a top up to make the crown and top a bit fuller but I just haven't got round to it yet.
Great build Angus, gave me some inspiration for my own. 👌
Great, all the best with yours.
Cheers Angus. Doing mine this weekend. Some good tips matey. Yours is looking well
Fab 🎉
Do you take finasteride to maintain it?
Hi, I don't take anything. I wanted to stay clear of any drugs. Just my personal choice.
@@AngusMcGregor have you thought about suppressing DHT with more natural remedies like saw palmetto or pumpkin seed oils? I read some people saying that the hair transplant is immune to DHT , but some others say it isn't... so I am not sure what to believe.
A great building starts with a good solid foundation. Ths doesnt have one....
The concrete blocks and the 3x6 sleepers are pretty solid. And just like Elton John said, I’m Still Standing!
Just what I was looking for. 😊
I've currently got halogen spotlights on a dimmer switch and want led's instead. Do i need to replace the dimmer switch along with the led driver, too? What rating led driver do i require to run 6 GU10 led's bulbs.
Just make sure the drivers and bulbs are compatible with dimmers and you should be okay.
@AngusMcGregor In that case, I will replace the high power halogen dimmer switch to a low power led one. Thanks.
2 weeks for those handles to last
The handle has worked well and is still going strong after 2 years of use.
@@AngusMcGregor sure sure
I love this. love seeing before and afters. How did the developer keep letting you have access to it all?
They were really good and let us see the progress as they knew this was our family house. It was very interesting to see it develop.
That's beautiful 😍
Can you sell me the old ones glossy black colour
I’ve sold the car now but with the glossy black ones, I only have the grey Union Jack ones now that I need to sell.
Tie the cord to the airer, THEN cut it to length. 🤷♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Osmo work top oil is the best I've used, a few coats of that lasts a few years. And remember, never leave water on the work top, or stand something wet on it.
Great video, really helped me get started.
All the best with yours.
Hello Angus great video very informative. Btw can you explain how long it took you to sand each section? How long when the first time and how long it took to do the second time? I'd really appreciate it if you can tell. I know you said it took longer to do the island due to the extra staining etc. Thanks
Create video. what timber size did you use for base, wall and joists please?
I used 3x6 sleepers for the base and the 2x4s for the sub base and sides and then 2x7 inch joists for the roof. Check out my budget video for full details.
Great video. Really well made and very informative. Thanks !!!
I hope you kept it. Just going to start mine which is in a lot worse condition. Great video. Thanks
All the best with yours. Someone else has mine now to enjoy.
I brought a rubber one but its got no glue on, any ideas on fixing it on ?? Would spray glue be any good ??
3m double sided tape
Great video thanks,
Any in singapore
Yes ,we are available for gigs in Singapore.
Keep it!! You'll be glad you did as it adds charm and sophistication to your back yard. Great paint job.
Great video, very informative… about to tackle the same task. Thank you!!
All the best with yours.
As always great stuff Angus 💯
Not a fan of the broken look on the tiles and I would have simply placed the wood board over the top of the old one … placed a thick wood edge and tile the edge down as well
i would have put cement board down as a base. Any experts disagree?
Sorry for the dumb question but I had my whole house fitted with spotlights and a few years later I find that the ones in the loft conversion room are big and chunky and not easy to replace (unlike in all other rooms). Anyone know why that would be? Are they halogen and can I replace them using the method in this video? Thanks!
Very nice 😍
Keep up the great work Angus. ❤
So after 12 months or so, did it work ok?
Yes, it is still on.
that was great and super useful. Can you explain why you took the screws out after glue up (why not leave them in place for added strength? (apologies-I'm a beginner!)
Hi, yes you can leave the screws in. I just wanted a nice clean finish with no screws and the glue is strong enough to hold the wood in place.
excellent-many thanks. Very helpful video. I'm in the middle of a warped table salvage! Glad I found your channel@@AngusMcGregor
@@yousafali3470 All the best with your project.
You must be joking. you posted this train wreck to youtube.....so for the life of me , i can not figure out why you didn't use youtube to learn how to build. I can point out the mistakes in this build, but i just don't have that much time. I mean seriously man. This was an absolute waste of time , money and material. Your floors are going to rot out and collapse , but long before that your windows are going to break around the same time that your door will no longer open........then your roof is going to collapse. But all that aside , great work ethic Angus. you really saw this piece of shit to the end.
Thanks for your concern. It’s been up several years now and it’s solid with no rotting . The roof and even the windows are all fine. I did make sure I used putty instead of porridge!
you stick to what your good at Ahole, which is moaning like a little girl, it might not be the perfect build but whats that to you ?? lets see what you have ever done ???
Trevertrudeau You're a dick! Those are really rude comments.
@@AngusMcGregorI need one of these please in my garden. How much would this be and how far can you travel?
Shut the fuck up trevor and get back to your cup of Horlicks and wethers originals
Thank you Angus! Useful video! Do you reckon it will help with stain related to abrasive product like baking soda? I also deep clean my oven with a product that touch the wood and created stains. What do you think?
He could try baking soda it probably won’t harm the wood however it may take up the wood seal and will need to be resealed sooner. You have to be careful with harsh products when cleaning your oven. You could try covering your worktops before you use cleaning products on your oven.
100% agreed . covered but got this some stains.
Pretty cool especially the drummer beating on all those pots and pans 😂😂😂
You don't need any sanding. You need high concentrate bleach. Then Gray A Way wood sealer.
I have also used turpentine before but like bleach it is quite toxic and you have to make sure you are wearing your PPE . I had to sand this as there were scores and dents in the boards.
Looks great!! 🤩😊
Thanks so much for this brilliantly helpful video. Followed your excellent instructions step by step and our countertops are almost as good as new. Thanks so much for taking the time to share your skills.
Great to hear that. They should last quite awhile, mine are still holding up and I haven’t needed to re oil them yet.
