Fred in the Shed

I see Fred in the Shed has given up telling everyone how to use CB 🤨, and now is on the D.I.Y circuit now telling everyone how to do home improvement YouTube videos

No way? I hope not I think Fred’s a great asset to the hobby. I know he has 2 channels though.

It is very true , I think he just likes making YouTube videos, he actually use to ask me and my mates  about CB advise strange that.

I looked yesterday, I wonder how they’re going down with the punters? Go to be honest, I could use all the help I could get in the diy department, lol.

He use to do vids like this before the CB ones when he first started being a Youtuber I've seen a couple I think that was why the Fred in the Shed bit originally came from meaning  working in ya Shed.

Just sat here watching the wine making video all the way to the end.
Why did i do that i don't drink well only when on holiday.

I cant wait for the Lager making one or especially the best way to make chocolate muffins or brownies

I loved the fact he got the missus to do the work while he filmed....

Hummmm would like to see how to make Bombay sapphire gin.

When I started to get interested in CB again last year, I found Fred's content interesting and really helpful. I watched quite a few of Fred's and Callum (DX Commander) videos and learned a lot.  Esp Callum's, he has so much useful content on his channels, including a series on the RSGB Foundation exam.

Thing is Fred in the Shed pick others peoples brains who had been around CB for years ie before legalisation and just added his little bit to so he could make videos .
I know that for sure .

I know just what you mean Martin  it’s like Callum Dx commander doesn’t actually work that much DX PMSL 

Sure is a funny old game

Is like ,when"  I grow up I want to be a YouTube star, " LOL

I remember when Fred done a who series of videos on his interference on the T5 he was getting saying it was a neighbor causing it so he went searching around with a radio to find it without much success, you had the usual experts advise LoL posting on his vids of what to do about all interference,  and  then a mate and I was also getting the same interference so thought well it cant be Fred's neighbours we live about 20 miles from him anyway we realised it was something atmospheric and I siad it to him and everyone siad I was wrong I even got video proof showing someone up in Yorkshire with exactly the same interference plus one from Italy and one from Ireland infact the one from Ireland was a video of George who does repairs and he was showing a customer a test of there radio and even mentioned about the T5 interference, but Fred still wouldn't believe it and kept on saying it was a neighbor so I gave up and though you carry on .

I like Fred

Well I been around CB radio scene well before Fred had a shed and even was using a radio and people like me use to help HIM with advise only to find him repeating what we helped him with over the time he was coming on to radio in videos making it sound like it was him in the know ,so TBH I  think it's a bit of farce ,in fact if it wasn't for old school CBers like my self and others doing the demonstrations in 70s to get CB even legalised Fred wouldn't have need his shed.


Sorry I cannot comment on Callum because he actually owns a business of building antennas plus he seems more Amateur orientated which I'm not, but I find his stuff more interesting and not second hand info .

every video ive watched fred has stated he is not an expert and going by what he has been told by others ,its nice someone could be bothered to make videos ,i mean you could do it if you wanted 

he is also the one that convinced me to give radio a try again by his videos and im certainly not alone in that 

i dont know fred but i watch his radio videos and enjoy them

Hey Nubster.
I was on the six o'clock news granada reports i think it was in the Manchester demonstrations to legalise cb

Well you would be bias  as your one of his 305 members,  OK yes maybe make videos about CB but when others give the video maker advice and with proof you dont try to make them look like they dont know what there talking about, I dont claim to be a expert but what I know I try and share and sometimes without thanks ,I dont need to make videos it's not my style ,,plus TBH theres alot on YouTube who seem to be making videos to big up themselves (not saying that's this is case) but I and few others watch one of his videos the other day about helping Albert,well we al couldn't make our mine if was a push for the Nobel peace prize for the 305 group or a charity video nothing to do with radio really just showing how great you lot are in helping ,plus for someone who promotes the chit chat on 305 his hardly if ever on it ,and yes I have monitored many many times .

bias because im a member ......really  .......never ever spoken on the 305 just out of my range most days unfortunately

you sound very bitter im afraid i watch fred its all positive i read your posts and its all about how shit radio is nowadays and you cant hear anything 

maybe the video on helping albert was to show that even if you dont know what your doing or are having issues there are people that will help you if you go on and try 

for someone who keeps moaning about how no one is on radio having a go at someone encouraging more people on seems more counter productive to me 

if it is jealousy then make your own videos rather than get at those that do and if you dont like his dont watch them its very simple    


so what if he isnt on the 305 all the time or much he is putting it out there for others and they make use of it
