How To Build A Gate To Last DECADES

After years of building and repairing garden gates, I’ve seen exactly why they fail. Today, I’m at my aunt’s house to replace a rotting plywood disaster with a heavy-duty timber gate built to survive the British weather for decades. I’m sharing all my hints and tips in one video from moisture management, braces, what timber to use, rot-proofing and the specific joinery that prevents sagging.

Finding Treasure At The Rubbish Tip

Usually, I’m scavenging the alleyways and streets for materials, but in this video I head to the local reuse stores to do some thrifting! There is so much potential in the things people throw away! I’m tackling some woodworking, a bit of upholstery, and a mid-century furniture restoration that didn't exactly go to plan!

Which products work for restoring natural wood colour, and which are best for lightening the colour of darkened, aged wood furniture? Here's the thing - wood naturally darkens with age and exposure to UV damage which yellows the wood making it look less modern and undesirable. In this video I test out products designed on various different timber types, and restore a very orange pine chest of drawers back to it's original and natural colour.

Why We Were Told To STOP USING Our Log Burner

In the summer we received a letter from HETAS suggesting that our wood stove installation was potentially dangerous. This is the story of why HETAS shut down our log burner, why the original installer tried to convince us it was safe, and why the whole process was made far more stressful than it should have been.

No Cash, No Problem: DIY Shed Build

I needed somewhere to store my new pizza oven over the winter so I built a shed using salvaged materials and things I had laying around for under £150 - what a bargain! It's built strong and should last decades! This is the complete project from start to finish and it would make a great bike shed or general garden storage shed. You can build your own using the plans available below.

Turn Dead Space Into Storage!

My brother challenged me to create some extra storage space in his kitchen and help with renovating it - let's go!
