I have a list I started with for the outer shell (lumber, siding, shingles, etc). Anything you're looking for in particular?

Yes, just some sheathing (though I built this thing during the lumber price spike, so I don't remember how much I paid per sheet. I wanted the plywood look at the time, and figured I could stain or paint it later. Three years in, I'm still loving how it looks, so I believe I'll leave it. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks so much!

I have multiple circuits. One each for 3 interior walls, one for lighting, one for the exterior plugs (GFCI), one for the A/C, and one 220V.

I'm on the Texas gulf coast. My concrete guy poured the foundation 6" thick, with a 12"x12" footer around the perimeter. Nice and solid. Best of luck with your build, and thanks for following along!

Thanks!

This video is a re-cap of the full build. I have a playlist of all the build videos you can check out here - kzbin.info/aero/PLVw6tfKm-zsBHZzudK-4xufalUPCvAX7E&si=eOcY0tTiZPg_3sYW In the individual videos, I explain a lot more about how i'm going about each step, and my plans along the way. As far as materials - including the concrete slab, I put about $13k into this build. Do keep in mind, I built this while lumber and building material prices were super high, so it would probably be much cheaper today. Reach out with any questions.

Yes, this is 10 ft x 20 ft.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

It took some pre-planning for sure, and it's by no means perfect. I haven't rearranged it in a while, so I guess the layout is working ok. I've got some big projects coming up, so that will test the current situation. Thanks for following along!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! I grew up hanging out in my grandfather's engine shop, which he cobbled together, and added on to, over the years, and ended up about 4 times the space I have. He always seemed to have just the right tool, and there was always room to pull a bike, or go-cart, or woodworking project in there to work alongside him. I am very thankful for the space I have, and appreciate all the knowledge I gleaned from him in his shop. I appreciate you following along!

Thanks for following along! Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thanks so much! I plan to have more to share soon!

Thanks, man! Nice to get back in the swing of things.

@@MakeitGoode1 I have started doing 3 versions of most builds. A short, a 2 - 4 minute version with music and no talking and a long play with all the details. Seems to be working well

Good call! Thanks for the tip

No, I really love having the extra light they provide. With the positioning of my table saw, I do worry about a bad kick-back taking out the glass someday, but so far so good.

Thanks! And yes, I have already updated it for a larger system - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-1gn54rdeHY9U

Yeah, it's a little bluetooth receiver to listen to music and podcasts while I'm working. Does a great job for such a little device. Here's the link, if you're interested - amzn.to/3XWzKJN

Thanks, Bob, for the kind words! It's been an interesting journey to build and organize this space for sure. I actually have 2 vacuums for my dust collection. One is the shop vac on the cart, and that has a 20 foot 2.5" hose that can reach across the shop. The hose goes into a cyclonic collector which captures the sawdust to keep it out of the vacuum itself. My second is a traditional 4" dust collector, hooked directly to my table saw. In the future, I want to use the larger collector to route around the shop and be able to connect to each of my machines. Being in south Texas, I need AC much more often than heat, so I have a simple electric oil heater I can use when it does get cold. All my 120V plugs are at 44" - which sits a little higher than my workbench, and makes it easy to reach when plugging in tools. Each wall is on its own circuit. The cost for the building itself - foundation and all - was around $13k. Now, I built this when lumber prices had skyrocketed, so it may cost less nowadays. I couldn't tell you how much more I've spent on getting the shop up to its current state. Reach out with any questions, and I wish you the best of luck on your woodworking journey!

@@MakeitGoode1 Thank you so much for your speedy and informative reply.

Thanks! Yeah, stubbornness was definitely the factor here. I ended up disassembling some of the pieces to make it lighter. 😆

Thanks! It's come in handy, and I've been able to modify it more as I have upgraded my dust collection system - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-1gn54rdeHY9U

I alternated the joists on each side so I could have the screws go in straight through the center frame board on every other board on each side, then toe-nail the remaining on the center board. I could have toe-nailed all the boards, and probably saved some time and been just as sturdy, but this process made me feel good. I hope that helps, and fully answers your questions. Thanks again for taking the time to watch!

I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yours, too. I'm not what you'd call a neat freak, but I LOVE using mine to clean up in the shop. Something about sucking up sawdust and shavings is just satisfying. 😆

Thanks! I used 3" #10 deck screws for the frame and joists.

@@MakeitGoode1 Thanks! Are you using the exact same size of deck screws for the floor boards?

No, I attached the floor boards with 1-5/8" deck screws.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I have actually liked the lights I installed, as each "petal" of the light is adjustable up and down. I can move them easily with my broom handle if I need light focused in a certain spot, and I also have magnetic work lights that I can move from machine to machine to get even more detailed light exactly where I want them. I have the 4 led strips in my garage, and I agree, they provide an excellent amount of light. For the miter saw station, here's the video of the build if you're interested - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5KydXyAmpl4aZI Thanks for following along!

@@MakeitGoode1 I’ll check that out. Thx man👍🏼

That's a great point, and I generally agree with the cost inefficiencies of paying just for storage. I built these shelves for the unit I rent to store my boat, which since I do not have a space to keep at my house, is more of a necessity than just a spot to store Christmas decorations and camping gear. Being able to store extra stuff is simply a bonus, and better use of the space. Funny enough, the annual cost for the boat storage is less than some of the smaller non-vehicle storage units I've seen.

That works if the stuff you store is replaceable.

@@TH-eb5ro Ever look in most people's storage units? Most of the time it's junk. There is a difference if it is sentimental I agree with you. Get a smaller unit for the sentimental stuff and sell the rest. Usually if you have sentimental stuff you keep it inside where you currently live.

@@TH-eb5ro We live in a hurricane-prone area. We have to make assumptions that anything we own is replaceable. 😆

@@robertjohnson3835 Yep, I've seen a lot of storage units where the tenant is storing useless stuff because they "may" use it one day. You have to be disciplined enough to go through your stuff on a regular basis and get rid of stuff you can't live without.

Awesome! Thanks, Karl!

Thank you!

WOW! Thanks so much for the support!

I'm glad this was helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I've learned a lot with this build, and organizing the space, and it's still in a constant state of evolution. Thanks for following along!

When I reached out to the city, they stated, if I kept it under 200 sq ft, and did not place it on its own electric meter, permits are not required.

I couldn't find birch plywood in my area either, so ended up using the primed 3/4" plywood from Lowes. I wasn't needing something super attractive, and these 4x8 sheets were high enough quality for my purposes.

In this set up, the 1.875 in hose from the vacuum goes into the top the Dust Deputy, and I am using a 2.5" hose from the port there. I have since upgraded to a larger version of the Dust Deputy that has more capacity and it works even better - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-1gn54rdeHY9U

I can't be exactly sure without more information, but I'm going to guess you have a drill that is set to a certain torque spec that is not able to fully drive in the screws before stopping. If your drill has a dial around the collet with numbers, try increasing that number until you are able to fully drive in the screws. If that doesn't work, you may simply not have enough power in your drill. Feel free to post more information, and I'll see what I can recommend.

I haven't put together official plans to sell for the shop, but I do have files I could send to you. Reach out at [email protected] and I'll put something together for you. Thanks!

That's a great idea, especially if you have limited space.

Thank you!

Thanks so much! The music is licensed through KZbin for video creators, and I simply chose some bluesy tracks to accompany this build. I appreciate you following along!

Thanks so much!

I'm glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! I'm a bit behind, and should be posting some new videos soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks for watching! The outer, or the foundation, dimensions are 10x20, so the inner dimensions are about 8-10" less. I would have loved to go a bit wider, but that's the space I had to work with. It's been great so far!

Thanks for replying to my query. My shed will be like yours size wise roughly so your video has given me some ideas as to layout. Thanks.

@@patrickmaher9270 I wish you all the best on your build. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thanks very much.

Thanks! I'm loving this thing! I'd definitely want to look into upgrading the power at some point - do you have the info handy for the replacement motor you went with? Fairly straightforward swap? I appreciate the advice!

@@MakeitGoode1 id love to be able to tell you which motor to go with, but unfortunately I have a 14" central machinery bandsaw that is really close in design, but I know the pulley ratios will be way off, so you will want to look at the spec of your current motor and find the RPM. The RPM is what you will want to base your search with, then ensure you have the same size/type shaft and that its still at your desired voltage and eye ball your mounts the best you can, you may get lucky with one that fits like I did or you may have to drill some different mounting holes. Good luck!!! I'm hoping to see a follow up video! ;) keep up the good work

@@michaelarbach Makes sense. Thanks!

That's a great question! Each saw has its purpose, and in many cases, the two could be interchanged for a particular task. Accuracy is not necessarily the deciding factor here - both can be very accurate. The track saw, especially in my circumstance with such a small workspace, is great for long cuts and breaking down large stock into small pieces. You can use it to make a straight cut on a not-straight piece without having to use a jig. After each cut, there is a bit of reset required, particularly if you are clamping the track to your piece. So you basically have to re-measure, and move every cut you make. The table saw is perfect for making repeatable cuts. You set the fence to your width and run material through, over and again. Setting the fence for a new width is quick and simple. Of course, you can also use it for cross cuts, tapering, rabbeting, and so on - things that would be more difficult (but not impossible) to do with a track saw. I love having both tools in my small shop, but I use my table saw FAR more often than the track saw. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching.
