The shed fitout is really starting to come together now that all the wall linings are up. The timber feature wall was quite the monumental task as it turned out. I’m really happy with how it turned out though. It really captures the rustic look I was going for. Check out the video to see how it turned out for yourself.

The fourth and final stage has already begun, having acquired the timber trim pieces I need to tidy up the look of the place. Once that’s all up it will be time to paint it all. I’m thinking the back wall will be black and the rest of them an off-white colour. The timber wall will receive a nice coat of oil to bring out the grain colours.

I’m looking forward to getting all that done and finally moving on to decking out the workshop with some workbenches and shelves so I can move all my tools in there permanently. Of course, that will all be documented in video format on our YouTube channel and probably a few updates here on our website blog.

See you out there!

Check out the previous videos in the series. Part 2 has become one of our most popular videos. I’m glad my audience is enjoying my work after so much effort was put into it.

Insulating & Lining The Shed – Part 2 https://lannixdesign.com.au/2024/06/26/insulating-lining-the-shed-part-1-2/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2024/06/26/insulating-lining-the-shed-part-1-2/#respond Tue, 25 Jun 2024 21:30:27 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5531

It’s been a while since I’ve released a new YouTube video but that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten my viewers! It’s just a matter of having limited time to get jobs done and filming it all near enough doubles the time it takes to do those jobs. But hey, it is what it is and I’m still enjoying both getting work done on the shed and making videos about it.

This video is all about insulating and lining the shed walls using a polymer based insulation batt and sheets of 9mm ply. I’ve included as many tips as I can to make the video interesting enough to anyone butt mostly to those interested in lining their own shed.

So I hope you enjoy the video and will return to see more in future. Once the shed is done it’ll be time o move on to some more interesting projects including decking out the workshop, starting work on my rack car and other woodworking and metalworking shenanigans.

Check out the first video in the series if you haven’t already. It covers insulating the ceiling and building a timber frame for a partition wall.

Wow, it’s been slow progress with all things shed related. I’ve been plugging away at the insulation in the roof and I’ve managed to build the frame of the partition wall that will separate the garage from the main workshop area. It’s been a while since my last upload but I feel like I haven’t stopped working on the many projects I have planned that will become YouTube videos.

I hope you enjoy this video despite the sight of my belly hanging out of my shirt. The follow-up to this one will feature the wall insulation and linings. The Northern wall will be treated to a covering shiplap hoop pine planks that we pulled out of the house during renovations. I’ve been running them through the thicknesser and table saw to get them ready to screw to the wall. I hope it looks as cool as I envisage in my head. 

Enjoy!

Update: Fully CGI Shed Workshop Layout Design! https://lannixdesign.com.au/2024/03/27/update-fully-cgi-shed-workshop-layout-design/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2024/03/27/update-fully-cgi-shed-workshop-layout-design/#respond Tue, 26 Mar 2024 21:30:42 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5443

Since the relatively brand-new camera has succumbed to injuries sustained during an altercation with a coffee table, I had some time on my hands. I’d always had it in mind to make a 3D model of the shed and create a layout for the workshop in virtual space before laying down any cold hard cash for shelving, workbenches and/or materials to complete the job. So that’s what I’ve been working on the last few weeks.

As some of you may already know, I like to dabble in 3D animation using Blender and I’ve already used it to create the intro and transition sequences for my YouTube videos. This project has so far proved to be far more ambitious than I originally thought. The detailed shed model took about a week to recreate in virtual space and includes working roller doors and accurately represented colours using details from the manufacturer.

The shed model was just the start of it though. The opening sequence required houses, trees and other details around the yard to be modelled and, being a stickler for details, the materials needed to match their real-life counterparts as accurately as possible. Then, because I like to punish myself, the shed was animated to assemble itself while the camera was moving down the driveway and into the back yard.

A screenshot from the YouTube shorts preview I uploaded to my personal channel.

Click the image to see the video!

This entire sequence took around three weeks from the start of modelling until the twenty second clip was fully rendered. I’ve uploaded a low res preview version to my personal YouTube since I’m keen to get it out there. Click the image above to check it out.

The upside to having sunk all that time into creating accurate models is that they can be reused for subsequent clips, greatly reducing the time to set them up. The downside is that rendering clips in 4K resolution takes a long time. The opening sequence took three overnight sessions to render the 600 frames and it seems that subsequent sequences are taking even longer. I’ve taken measures to optimise the scenes for faster rendering times but I’ll need to get more serious about it if the video is going to be completed this year! It’s not surprising that companies like Pixar and Dreamworks have entire floors of buildings filled with computers dedicated to rendering animated clips.

Although I am happy with the quality of the rendered images, I realise there is room for improvement and I’m hoping to hone my craft for upcoming projects like the office under the house and my bar and games room layout. So subscribe to our main channel if you’re keen to see the end result of what I assume will be months of 3D modelling and rendering, you can see some progress pics in the gallery below.

Smell ya later!

The lining and insulation video will be up as soon as it’s done and there’ll be more to follow as I’m working on setting out all the workbenches and tools virtually to hopefully find the optimal layout for the shed before forking over any cash!

Building A Pirate Treasure Chest For My Son https://lannixdesign.com.au/2024/01/17/building-a-pirate-treasure-chest-for-my-son/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2024/01/17/building-a-pirate-treasure-chest-for-my-son/#respond Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:30:08 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5346

I had the idea to build a treasure chest for Emmet months ago before the shed was even built. Leading up to the Christmas break, I thought I had plenty of time to get it done but then the renovation project came up, where Jade had decided to take a week off work so we could make a start on it. I managed to get the treasure chest done though, getting the final coat of oil on it the day before we were due to leave to spend Christmas with my family.

I’m quite proud of this one, and I hope when he’s older, Emmet will be proud of me too. I put a lot of work into designing and building the chest and I hope it comes across that way when you watch the video.

If you think I did alright and would like to make a treasure chest for yourself of a loved one, I’ve made the fabrication drawings available on our online store for a couple of bucks. Check out the link below if you’re interested in grabbing a copy! We really appreciate your support!

Renovating The Front Verandah – Part 1 https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/12/20/renovating-the-front-verandah-part-1/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/12/20/renovating-the-front-verandah-part-1/#respond Tue, 19 Dec 2023 21:30:34 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5297

Finally, we’ve been able to start on the second stage of our home renovation project. Come and join us while we get busy transforming our neglected verandah into an ensuite for us, an office for our son and a new front porch for our visitors.

In part one of this renovation project, we tackle the ceiling insulation, or lack of, by building new rafters and battens to hold up the insulation while we work. Following that, we get into the real stuff, replacing the floorboards and some missing joists to create a sturdy platform for some new walls, doors and windows.

Our goal for our five day intensive worker bee, was to get the place ready for our electrician and plumber to come and run their cables and pipes. Spoiler alert! We did it and we’re excited to get back into it over the Christmas break. We’ll be sure to film any progress we make in the meantime.

Welding The Racks For The Ute! – Part 2 https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/12/06/welding-the-racks-for-the-ute-part-2/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/12/06/welding-the-racks-for-the-ute-part-2/#respond Tue, 05 Dec 2023 21:30:46 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5279

The racks are all done! In this video, I finish off the rear bar frame, the longitudinal bars and give it all a coat of paint, colour matched to the Colorado. There’s plenty to keep you entertained and informed so sit back and relax, grab a cold beverage and enjoy watching a fat guy do some work.

Measuring up for the height of the rear bar frame.

Check out part one if you haven’t already. I go over the design, build the front bar and the brackets for the rear bar frame to sit inside when it’s installed.

Backyard Blitz! – The Video https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/11/22/backyard-blitz-the-video/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/11/22/backyard-blitz-the-video/#respond Tue, 21 Nov 2023 21:30:55 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5254

We’ve been busy with multiple projects going on at once but this is one we’re glad is finally finished. We take you through cleaning up the backyard and preparing it for the concrete driveway pour. Then I hired a mini excavator and levelled everything in preparation for laying 100 square metres of turf.

Enjoy!

Welding The Racks For The Ute! – Part 1 https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/11/08/welding-the-racks-for-the-ute-part-1/ https://lannixdesign.com.au/2023/11/08/welding-the-racks-for-the-ute-part-1/#respond Tue, 07 Nov 2023 21:30:37 +0000 https://lannixdesign.com.au/?p=5214

We’ve been gearing up for further renovations on the house since the shed has become fully erect. I’d started making some racks for the Colorado just before the first round of renos but I wasn’t able to get them finished before we had to get stuck in to the work. Now that I have an appropriate space to weld things where I’m confident I won’t set everything on fire, I’ve carved out some time to get them finished. 

Also, I made a video showing how I designed and built the racks. Well I’m at least half way through the project as this first video in the two part series shows. The second video is due to be released on the 1st of December, so come back and check it out if this is your bag baby.

Eagle eyed superfans may have noticed that there’s a driveway in front of the shed now. I’m currently neck deep in creating a video of the lead up and process of the pour, along with the other work we did to get the yard safe for our son to wander around. Stay tuned for that at the end of next week. 

Auf wiedersehen.
