My name is Tom and I'm a programmer by trade and woodworker by choice. My channel is all about having a go, taking the leap to try something new, and not being afraid to just try something out.
We'll be focusing on indoor and outdoor projects, tutorials, retrospectives / lessons learned videos to reflect on what went right and wrong for each project.
It's easy to watch perfect videos and think that all the fun is out of reach because "I'm not good enough" and I'm here to try and debunk that by showing my mistakes and stumbling my way through projects with the bear minimum polish to make videos somewhat palatable!
The biggest mistake people make is convince themselves to never try!

Hi we are looking to build something like this. What were your measurements on the bed?
-
Just used scaffolding boards for an L-shape bed and now I wanna rip it down and use sleepers. This is gorgeous.
-
Love this! Just found your channel and my boyfriend and I are inspired to make this when we get a house of our own.
-
Gosh! I'm proud of your work. I dream of placing your flower bed at the corner of my house. I will share this with my friends who are masters at building raised beds in their vegetable garden. Maybe they will take pity on me and help me replicate your excellent project. Thank you for posting this video. ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππππ

Hi, Thank you for this video. I'm looking at building my own raised garden bed and these were the easiest instructions I found. They were simple to understand and easy to follow. Now, I just have to order the materials and have a go. :) Now all I have to do is believe I can do it :)

It's great you take the time to reply to so many of your subscribers, I'm not fishing for a reply by the way. Love the raised beds, the liner I like, I've a bunch of wood to get rid of as I didn't do this the first time. Love the channel. Great work.

Beautiful job. Love the cat too!

Great advice for our next project.

Nice to see you've lined it, in my younger days i just used treated wood and filled with soil, lesson learnt when x amount of years later i have abundance of rotten wood, now rebuild and replaced i coat with bitumen and also put a liner on the inside, also use stainless steel screws so hopefully it'll last my life out now.. But i am only 48 so only time will tell π
