2023 Shop Tour! (Layout, Tips, and Organization)

[@Damon_Barber]

Thanks again for serving! Appreciate the shop tour. A lot of my tools were inherited from my dad or given to me by a friend who died in an accident. Those are tools I’ll likely never get rid of. I think it is great that you were able to afford the Festool brand of tools. You use your tools enough that it makes sense to invest in quality. I was told by my aforementioned friend to buy the best tool I could afford. 👊 virtual fist bump

Thanks, brother! For sure, sometimes those Hand-me-downs are the best tools, and sometimes new ones are more appropriate.

Thank you for sharing your awesome workshop with us. Thank you for your service. The jointer beds are the same for Craftsman, delta and porter cable. I have the Wen air filter and you are right does great job. Love the Moxon vise.

cheap chop saws can be EXCELLENT if you really take the time to clean and polish and lube all the moving surfaces and spend a few hours fine tuning the squareness. and throw the stock blade in the trash. it took me about 2 hours to get my cheap hitachi saw cutting like gold. the saw is just an electric motor on a hinge, it can only get SO good.

Thanks for the tip!

Great tour of your shop! I really like the pipe clamp vice you made. Maybe a tutorial of how you made it would be great! Semper Fi brother & enjoy being on AD. Retirement is cool, but I miss the Corps every day! 👊🏽

[@patriot-maker]

Thanks, brother! I’ve heard that a lot. I’m trying to soak up as much as I can in the little time I have left, for sure! I’ll add the moxon vice to my future video list, too. Semper Fi!

Semper Fi Brother! I feel your pain, I work out of a garage that has a washer dryer in it too

[@patriot-maker]

Semper Fi! Yeah, I have dreams of one day having a large shop dedicated to just woodworking!

[@EvanDunville]

Great tour, nice space. I have a similar paulk style bench and they are great.
