Fix This Build That

Fix This Build That is a woodworking and DIY channel. It shares projects, tools and techniques in detailed, easy-to-follow videos, and offers build plans for many of its projects.

Projects include furniture, outdoor builds, garden structures and home improvements. Some videos test materials and products, such as LED lighting or different types of concrete. Others show a full build from design to finish, explaining each joint and cut. The style is friendly and practical, with careful attention to measuring and planning. Recent videos test unusual ideas, such as mixing concrete with fizzy drinks, to see what really happens. Many also show the tools used and how to set them up safely.

Some highlights include:

A bedside table designed and built with an engineer’s approach, from planning to precise joinery.

The installation of recessed lighting in a room with no loft access and no existing wiring.

A look at what to check before buying LED lights, including brightness, colour and quality.

The channel has around 2.2 million subscribers.

Design and make is at the heart of engineering. Planning a build, choosing materials and working to tolerances are skills engineers use every day. This channel suits anyone who enjoys Design and Technology and is thinking about product design, manufacturing or mechanical engineering. Electrical work shown follows US practice, and in the UK it should be left to a qualified electrician.
