I Built a STUNNING Shed in Just One Weekend

Hey friends! In this video, I’m building a custom shed off the back of our garage to safely and neatly store my husband Eric’s surfboard collection and other sports equipment. This shed solves the problem of sawdust and debris collecting on his boards (thanks to my workshop in the garage!) while creating more storage space for his growing collection.

🛠️ Why We Needed This Shed Previously, Eric’s boards were stored in a sliding-door closet I built in the garage. Over time, the collection grew, and we needed a dedicated space. That’s where my partnership with @84LumberCompany came in to bring this idea to life. 🔨 Step-by-Step Shed Build Process 1️⃣ Prep the Build Site: Switched the hinges on our vinyl fence to improve access to the back of the garage. 2️⃣ Building the Base: Constructed a platform with pressure-treated 2x4s, leveled it, and added a ¾-inch plywood floor sealed with paint and stain for durability. 3️⃣ Framing the Shed: Built the back and side walls with 2x4s and ½-inch plywood, pre-painting and staining the materials. Designed the front wall with a large opening for easy access. 4️⃣ Adding the Roof: Mimicked the garage roof’s slope, framing it with pocket hole joinery. Installed a ¾-inch plywood roof, sealed soffits, and added PVC fascia boards. 5️⃣ Finishing Touches: Installed a custom surfboard rack for efficient storage. Stored additional sports equipment to make the shed versatile.

Epoxy Skull and Walnut Wood Brain

Today I’m showing you how I made a life size epoxy skull with a life size walnut wood brain to fit inside. I started by making mini skulls first and figure out what worked and what didn’t. I started by figuring out how to make silicone molds for casting. This took me awhile to figure out which products and methods worked best.

I found that using a pressure pot set at 35-40 PSI when making the silicone molds gets all the tiny bubbles out for a perfect casting. I also used the pressure pot when I poured the epoxy and left it in the pressure pot for 24 hours before de-molding. I used Total Boat thickset for the epoxy, which worked great. I used BBDINO platinum silicone 1:1 mold making for making my silicone molds. Once I figured out the epoxy skulls I moved onto making wood brains to fit inside on my OneFinity CNC.

I then used a Dremel to carve out the underside of the brain so that they fit in the epoxy skulls just right. I finished the wood brains with Total Boats Wood honey, which really brought out the colors of the wood brain. It took a lot of trial and errors to get the final results but over all I’m very happy with how they turned out. I’ll have a limited run of the epoxy skulls and wood brains for sale on my website. I hope you enjoyed this video and found some useful information. Thanks for checking out the how the project turned out over all. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this video and I'd love to see what you make, and be sure to tag me when you do @Wood_Brain on Instagram. Link to website: https://wood-brain-by-lindsay-zuelich...
