[background music] Blake: Welcome back, you beautiful people.
Welcome to episode three of Blake Builds A Bike Cave.
I'm still figuring out a name.
I've been getting so many in the comments down below, on my social media, everywhere.
Right, let's kick it off. Yes, I'm so excited. Where are my tools?
[background music]
Blake: Before I get super carried away, I've been getting so many comments.
Yes, thank you so much.
It seems you guys are enjoying me build this epic bike cave of mine.
Also, I love hearing all about your suggestions and the comments down below.
Getting involved.
I've seen so many.
I went over to GMBN Tech.
I went through the whole filing system of where you guys have been uploading your bike
cave.
If you want to get involved there's a link in the description down below.
If you want to get involved with the GMBN Tech show, just go and upload it to today.
Find it, upload it, send it over.
Dotty loves to see this stuff and so do I now because I can-- Look.
Look at it.
[background music]
[background noise] Blake: All right, look. That is so strong.
I can put my motorbike here and it's not going to fall through.
Flap it.
I can build a house now.
Probably not.
Right, measurements.
As I continued to boast about my building skills, this is what happened in episode two.
I shoved up the cupboards, hung the doors, got all clever with my drawers.
I got over-excited about my worktop which confused me a little.
45 degrees to 160.
Well, I don't know.
What's coming up on episode three?
Lets' find out.
[background music] Blake: Done.
I'm going to build a frame.
I'm not going to build it up there.
I'm thinking I'll build it on my worktop because I've got a new worktop.
I'm going to build the whole frame on my worktop.
Measure it out.
See how wide I'm going to make it.
I don't want it too wide because I'm a bit short, I can't get my arm right at the back.
If I do make it deep, I might have to make a step or two.
All right.
I can't forget my music.
I can't forget it.
[background music]
Blake: Fergus. Come here, Fergus. Let's get cutting.
[background noise] Blake: I got some offcuts.
I don't throw away stuff.
I use it till I-- Just till it's like this small.
These are some offcuts.
Maybe some mistakes from previous episode one or two.
Anyway, moving on, this all is scrap, it's not scrap because I'm going to use it because
I don't want this to have-- I don't want this to be too wide.
I don't want it to be the same width as this because I want to be able to get to the back
plus I'm going to hit my head on it if it's overhanging which it is going to be.
I'm going to cut all this to size.
Make a little frame, glue it, screw it together.
Then I'm going to fix it to the wall, so I can hide this gas meter thing because it looks
ugly.
It doesn't look very nice.
With a nice head unit, this is going to look even better.
Hopefully, not make many mistakes because I haven't got much wood left and I still need
to build that bike storage.
Just run time-lapse man.
Just run that time-lapse.
[background music] Charlie: Daddy.
Blake: Charlie.
[laughs] Little monkey, what are you doing?
What's up?
Charlie: Whoa.
Blake: Whoa.
What are you doing?
You fixing.
Charlie: [unintelligible 00:04:37] Blake: What are you doing?
Come in.
Charlie: Cut here.
Blake: You want me to cut along there.
Charlie: Cut it.
Blake: Cut there, down there, and then that way.
[chuckles] Cool.
Come I get you little monkey.
[background music]
Blake: Man. A cup of tea.
Blake: Man. A cup of tea. I need a cup of tea and some biscuits.
Flapping biscuits, oat cookies are the best.
Look.
Substance, one-bite cookies.
A little break.
A cup of tea.
I had a few questions about my motorbike.
Well, this is wrap bike.
Look at it.
This is my wrap.
I did some video a long, long time ago before GMBN.
Actually, just before GMBN where my brother and I bought these motorbikes and went from
the UK all the way through the Pyrenees all the way down to Barcelona to an event down
there at Lapoma bike park.
It was super good.
We made these bike racks.
They're bolted to the back.
Take a look at this.
We rode like that for a whole week there and back through snow.
It was terrible.
I even crashed my motorbike.
I didn't even get it on camera.
Anyway, Jimmy's iced coffee that is.
Jimmy's iced coffee.
Good motorbike there.
That is a Honda CB 450 super dream.
It is a dream to ride.
It is so light.
I would start it up but it needs a bit of TLC.
It's not working.
[background music]
That's alright, it's metal. So good.
Lucky, lucky me.
Some damage but #byMerch steel cups.
You can't go wrong with them in a workshop.
[background music]
Blake: All right the frame unit is built up. Look at that.
That is going up there.
That's actually quite a big unit.
I was expecting it to be a little bit smaller, but it doesn't matter.
The more storage, the better.
Let's put these wooden bits up.
Put them in there and there and there.
Actually, come to think of it, I don't know why I cut three.
I only needed one.
Look, I cut three, one for there, obviously one for there and one for there but I only
need one for there because that's going to be the side of the wardrobe and that is going
to be the wall.
Balls.
I've got an audience, look.
Like a glove.
Charlie's drawing. We should actually date that.
Where'd my pencil gone to?
Charlie was here.
I didn't even spell his name right.
What an idiot.
Was here.
2020.
I've actually run out of humongous screws to go into the wall, but I've got my trusty
old workbench.
Look.
It's got loads of massive screws in it.
I'vee just got to find them.
[background noise] Yes.
I'm struggling to put this unit up there.
What I'm going to do, I'm going to get up there just like Blake's doing right now.
Well done, Blake.
I'm going to start screwing in big blocks into the wall so I can mount the unit.
Just like that.
Go on Blake.
[applause] Yes, keep drilling.
Keep drilling.
I hate it.
I hate screwing the wall, Blake.
I hate it too.
It's just so loud.
That should do the job I reckon.
That should do the job.
Listen. Now we can get the unit up there.
[background music]
Blake: News in, the wife is making some cake
for tea in the afternoon.
Look.
[background music] Blake: Yes.
I'm going to use all these scraps.
I haven't got much wood, so I'm going to cut all this.
I'm going to put up there.
Cool. [background music]
Blake: Now, I have to think out of the box.
Actually, it's not out of the box, but I'm using all these little bits of ply because
I haven't got much like I keep saying but look this is what I've done.
Instead of putting in a big fat piece of two by two, I cut some ply to 2 inches.
I separated the two doors by that.
I think that looks flipping cool.
Got a shelf in there.
Over here.
I'll probably just leave this like it is for now.
I'm going to put some doors on that and leave it because I don't really want to be building
a shelf around that thing and then putting stuff around it and it knocks it and it does
damage to it.
I'm just going to leave that as one big cupboard with two doors.
Two doors there, two doors there.
Done.
Cut that.
I'm going to put some trim up there and then move on to my tool board because I really
want to get on to putting some OSB all the way up there, into the top there, all the
way around here, down here and up here and some shelves.
That is the next jobs after this.
This is the most time-consuming one.
I think it looks pretty good.
With doors on that, it's going to look so nice.
Let's measure up the doors, cut them, and put those hinges on because I hate those hinges.
They're a nightmare.
Episode two, I threw my toys out of the cot because of these hinges.
[background noise]
weather has dramatically changed from hot sunny weather to like hoodie and a hot cup
of tea weather.
It's raining.
Look at that.
Oh, well.
[background music]
Blake: Last door up to be hung.
I hate hanging these doors.
Yes, you know what?
I'm pretty happy with that.
Done.
I am so happy.
I'm not going to be hanging any more doors.
It's just a pain in the backside.
Look at it.
All doors on.
I made these doors like this so I can get in a bit better because I want to-- Anyway,
that's one, that's two, and three and four.
Done.
I like it a lot.
Like it.
Look at it.
Now, I want to hang my tools all under here.
I'm going to get some of this OSB chipboard which I've got just there.
I'm going to measure it up.
I'm going to cut out.
I'm going to put it under there.
I'm going to screw it to some batten just like this, put some of these on the wall,
screw it on.
Done.
Then we go up there.
Then I'm going to go all the way there.
Then I'm going to go down there and I'm going to go all the way up there.
Let's get this rolling.
Let's run that time-lapse.
Let's do some chart.
Let's do some cutting because we need to.
[background music]
Blake: A moment of truth.
Big, big cut.
You're a bit dusty.
Man, look at it.
Look at it.
Look at that.
Look how good that is.
It just finishes it off so good, but I can smell that Victoria sponge that my wife's
made, and I can hear the kettle boiling.
[background music]
Blake: Do you like your cake?
Is that a nice cake?
Charlie: Yes.
Blake: Yes.
Yes.
I flipping love cake and little man loves cake.
Loves cake.
I don't think anyone does not like cake.
After talking through the wife and think,because she's an interior designer.
She's not, but we were brainstorming.
I did say we were going to go all the way up here and all the way [mumbles].
I think it's a bit too much.
I think we're going to stop right here.
It's just this little bit here.
That is tools there.
Look at that that that that that it's just so good.
I've just come up with these little guys.
This was going to be the bracket for my shelves because I want this to be a feature in itself.
I think I'm going to make loads of these.
I'm going to have probably one-two-three shelves or maybe just two shelves.
Do you know what?
The dream was to put a TV there.
Yes, a TV on the wall playing GMBN constantly, especially when I'm in here doing some maintenance
and I don't understand what I'm doing, I can just go, "Hey, Siri, put GMBN Tech on how
to index gears because I still don't know how to do it."
Let's cut them.
[background music] Blake: Look at that.
Flipping-- You know what?
That's the most carpentry thing I've ever done.
Oh man, that is-- around to the edges, I just sunk the back so you don't see it.
I even put some dowels in there so you can't see the joint.
I used dowels to just join the two together.
Do you know where I got those from?
Those are from my little man's toy set.
The little miniature logs from his train set.
I thought, "I know exactly what I'm going to use those for.
I'm going to use them for that."
I'm stoked to that.
[background music] Blake: Man, this has been good.
Episode three has been amazing.
I flipping built this thing.
I built the best shelves that I've ever done in my entire life.
I thoroughly enjoyed building that little that shelving unit.
This is the end of episode three.
Episode four is going to be unreal.
You got to tune in because I've got lights.
I've got some park tool stuff.
I've got some tools.
I've got some sanding to do.
I've got some painting to do.
I've got doorknobs.
There is so much coming up in Episode four.
Thank you very much for watching this rad video.
If you got any comments about doing stuff like this DIY, actually all them carpenters
out there give us some feedback and say, "Hey, dude.
That butt joint, you've done so many."
[laughs] "Just maybe try this joint."
Anyway, let us know in the comments down below.
Don't forget to give us a thumbs up like, follow us on all our social media and if you
love this, man, just let me know.
I love it.
