12x14 Shed made into Dream workshop!!

In this small building, Jay has transformed his workshop into his dream workshop. It took some time to gut and rebuild, but here we are with a new workshop, new name, and new videos coming. I'd like to welcome everyone to Jay's Creative Edge and our new workshop, where we will be making all sorts of things from wood charcuterie board and other wood working, arcades to coin rings. Without further ado, Lets get to it!

I agree with you on the vintage tools. Those 1950's Craftsman tools had a classy look about them.

[@jirigrym1533]

This book is awesome if you're thinking of making some cool stuff for your garden. kzbin.infoUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- It has tons of plans for all kinds of things, like storage sheds, picnic tables, single garage plans, dog kennels, and garden swings. I'm hooked on this book forever. Thanks, Ryan! There's so much content in these Shed Plans. It's amazing! For long-term service, it seems like it's worth spending a bit more money. Ryan, you're so generous to share all this info with us, and at such a low price.

I'm building my own 14 x 16 shop now - from the ground up. I'm looking for space saving ideas, clever storage solutions, etc, and just came across this video. Your shop looks awesome ! I love french cleats, will definitely copy your idea. Also like the pvc along the wall for dust collection. Well done.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

More ideas in this one video than in any other 100 you'd pick! I was about to build a 2nd work bench and I'd not even considered building the table saw into it. Boxing in the shop vac is essential for sanity too - many thanks!

[@lithiumike]

[@frankmmiii]

I like this because I have a 10 X 16 shed that I want to set up a little to do work in. Not just woodwork but metalwork and welding and still be able to put some of my yard stuff in. I just built an 8 x 10 metal shed to store my JD riding lawnmower and bigger equipment to free up space in the 10 x 16.

[@thevintagevu]

Yeah it’s tight but I’m making it work! Could always be bigger but I wanted to show people you CAN be creative in a small space if that’s all you have!

[@rickowen6181]

Great use of space. You’ve got a lot in there but it doesn’t seem cramped or difficult to work in. Love the overhead clamp storage.

[@scottyk9393]

[@tomj528]

Super nice and well organized shop! Very impressive and I love how you're restoring older, better built machinery.

[@thevintagevu]

Thanks for watching Tom!

[@PlanetMojo]

Love the older machinery! Used to work on a Powermatic 66 back when they were green! Back in the day, I ran my custom furniture company from a one car garage. I had a full-sized panel saw on one wall, the compressor up in the rafters, and everything else on wheels including the dust collection, table saw, a 15" floor model planer, and a floor model jointer. Later I had a shop in a basement with a 7' high ceiling! I am currently building a 36' x 48' woodshop mostly by myself. It will be nice to finally have some space, but the small workshop is definitely doable!

[@thevintagevu]

Thanks for watching! Yes I would love a bigger shop but I am making my space work

[@PlanetMojo]

@@thevintagevu I know how that works! This will be my first larger shop 😊

[@thevintagevu]

Good luck with your new shop

[@thevintagevu]

Cheers ! Thank you for the kind word’s hopefully you got an idea or two

[@greggz7795]

I bought that same Craftsman-King Seeley drill press from the son of the original owner, about 18 years ago. It is still in perfect condition running the original 1/2 HP motor. Wonderful machine.

[@thevintagevu]

Yes great drill press I love it!

[@ecleveland1]

After cleaning the rust off of the scroll saw table you can use a block of paraffin wax and rub it into the clean table and keep the rust at bay, it also makes the table nice and slick so the wood moves easily when cutting. My dad used it for years on all of his table saws and any other metal in the shop. Be sure to rub some in the guide rails also.

[@thevintagevu]

Thanks great idea

[@bobnob1122]

You're going to LOVE that drill press, I have one identical to it. That 1/2 hp motor originally was rated for a milling machine. Needless to say, plenty of power!!

[@thevintagevu]

I use it almost every project I absolutely do love it!

[@ronwilliams329]

I have my grandfather's 1950s drill press too. Indeed, it's a beast but it's still going strong.

[@thevintagevu]

Yes that drill press is one of the most used tools in my arsenal! Really helped my workflow tremendously! Amazing American steel!

[@thevintagevu]

Thank you !

[@SuperMatt2112]

Great use of a small space, all very practice and here I thought my space was small for a shop, i have a whole 2 car garage 20x24. I'm still building it as I go, the thing I need the most is insulation so I can feel more comfortable during winter months, I've never been a winter type of guy, not a big fan of cold. Anyway, you just gave me some inspiration to move on. you did an amazing job here. and I thank you for sharing this with all of us

[@thevintagevu]

Thank you for watching and your kind words!

[@braddblk]

I built a 12 x 16 workshop over the summer and am still trying to organize it so when I saw the title to your video I just HAD to watch it. Lots of good ideas love the french cleats I've been considering trying that and from what I saw here I'm sold. I put in what you could call a mezzanine by building a shelf out from the top plate of the walls over the benches and attaching them to the trusses overhead. Got a lot of good storage that way. I'll be back to see what else you come up with. Thanks for the tip on cleaning up rust I have several old cast iron tools and after working on my table saw for a couple of days with steel wool, steel brushes, and sandpaper I've got to give this stuff a try.

[@thevintagevu]

Awesome!!! Thanks for watching Brad! Best of luck with your shop! Lots of cool projects coming up, guitar builds, burl and resin stuff, pew pew paint jobs, tool restoration, and more!

[@edsyphan3425]

Oh man! I have the identical drill press! I need new spindle bearings, but it really makes the modern stuff look like toys.

[@thevintagevu]

Yeah it is used almost every single time I’m in the shop! The new ones are a joke compared to the quality of these old dogs!

[@stephenmccoy8005]

So cool! A lot of great ideas.

[@blahahbly11]

I love the shop. GREAT job fitting everything in there. Very efficient. I just moved and my shop is in a 2 car garage now, but my previous shop was a 12x8 shed that I built in the old backyard. I was able to fit a table saw, miter saw, tower bandsaw, planer, jointer and dust collection in there along with all the other tools. It looked a bit like yours but not as finished. Great job man.

[@richardray8280]

You should be very proud of your work! Thanks for the ideas and the video.

Thanks for watching

[@tonydel77]

Just came across your channel and immediately connected with your space challenges as I am in a similar boat. Mine is half of a 2 car garage, so I have a 10’ x 19’ space to work with, but part of that space is allocated to a 5’x7’ plastic shed which used to be my outdoor shop in our last home (we recently relocated so the shed had to come with me.) The key difference between our spaces, is that when I need more room to maneuver, say like breaking down full sheets of plywood, I simply move the car outside. Love what you have done with your space and also that you will take the trouble to restore old tools - I’m doing the same. You have a new subscriber and I’m looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Great shop 👍🏻 one suggestion, you may wanna add a rubber strip to hold the paint and thinner cans up top. One accidental touch when moving a long piece of wood and you could end up with a spill or worse (fire!). Sorry for the unsolicited advice, but thought it wouldn’t hurt to mention it and it’s up to you.
