A walk through Jacques's workshop

[@MyGrowthRings]

I've been chatting with Jacques via email since he's discovered my Shopsmith-centered channel, and he mentioned that he is planning on working a Shopsmith back into his shop after a long absence. I had to come back and rewatch this just to conceive of where he might shoe-horn one in! He's truly a special man. Scott

I see a dream shop. It looks to me that this craftsman built his "kingdom" shop over a long period of time. I am in awe at his organzation! Excessive tools? I think not. I experience in my shop redundancies, not because I bought them, but because my loving friends and family use THIER money to buy ME tools on the special days of the year. Why? Because they know I love to work with tools. Do I get rid of them because I already have a few of that particular tool? Of course not, I add it to my inventory and reflect on our relationships when I use my tools. I am grateful for every redundant tool in my shop. I don't know, but I suspect there is a lot of love behind the projects coming out of this shop. I find this shop Inspiring and I appreciate this craftsman sharing it with us. Myrtle Creek, Oregon

I knew I recognized this shop. Around 4,5, or 6 years ago the owner was WOOD magazines "Ultimate Workshop" winner if I'm not mistaken. Of course the prize was .......more tools! That is a tremendous shop. I can't imagine the hours spent putting it all together.

[@edwaggonersr.7446]

That's one cramped overstocked space. More like a hardware store than a shop.

[@jasonlajoie]

That place is crazy! How could one person possibly use all those tools? I saw so many multiples of tools - he's got back-ups for his back-ups - back-ups! I would have liked to have seen one of his jar-wheels straight-on. Old timers really love to store things in jars but I've never seen them placed in a spoke and wheel format.

[@jarbothehutt7027]

I'm in love! The shop just goes on forever. as a small shop owner, I'm jealous

[@wingmanalive]

Dear God that is a LIFETIME of collecting and building. Good for him it's a walk out basement. Imagine getting all those heavy machines down/up a set of stairs!! He's got all the toys but I would ask for a little more room. Reminds me of my grandfathers shop. After every operation he would be forced to break down the tool and clean up. He had to, no room otherwise.

[@mohunter68]

Holy Smokes! I am so envious, what a workshop! I can only dream of having such a collection as that, completely amazing to say the least. Bravo Jacque, you are The Man!

[@keithp.4945]

Holy crow!!! Just the wagon wheel/bottle storage and the wall mounted storage bins is enough to make me cry! Was there any money left for food after all of this!! Fantastic.

[@h7oslo]

Amazing collection! Obvious excellent accomplishment of dust control! It's actually beyond my comprehension how it's done.

[@300leothelion]

This is one of the cleanest and tidiest workshops I've ever seen. Id be surprised if anything is made. Lol. Thanks for showing us around.

[@seigeengine]

Yes, amazingly packed. Being in that space, never mind having to work in it, would be a complete and utter nightmare. Maybe it works for Jacques, but again, I would feel supremely uncomfortable and inconvenienced just trying to walk through the place.

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

You can never have enough clamps. But that's probably enough clamps.

[@trentdrummond3147]

Clamps are sooooo expensive

[@trentdrummond3147]

+crispypicklechips nice

[@TheJamesm2012]

Awesomeness! I bet he has invested a good chunk of money in the tools and organizing them. But I am most impressed with the handiness of the screws, nuts and bolts collection. I bet he has more types and sizes of screws, nuts and bolts than any general hardware store in the America.

[@TheFloorBoys]

Very nice setup you have there! Very nice indeed...

[@zunitproductions]

I don't understand why people keep saying that it would be impossible to find a tool in their. It's his workshop. He put everything where it is so he can easily find the tool he needs.

[@sondraharms630]

where is some floor space to build anything?

[@ok-hd4so]

thats the trick, you don't

[@czar89031]

i will built me one just like this, I love all Jacques power tools, screws, different clamps & adding in there is computer drawing board & assembly area

[@dakotaswain5531]

That is amazing I would be in heaven to have that shop

[@iiinsaiii]

Just one word. Beautiful!

[@RattlecanGuitarRestorations]

Oh my, that hardware wall is amazing.

[@BorealSelfReliance]

So many unique inventions in there.

[@criscros7]

The mother of all workshops. Incredible.

[@icomba]

That is one crazy nicely organized workshop if I ever seen one. Keep me posted if your gonna sell anything.

[@radovangjaic6039]

It reminds me, as a tennis coach, a player coming to the court with a tennis shop in his tennis bag. When it comes to the points in the game..... I don't know... but still, congrats for your passion!!!

[@Elyasafshweka]

So what exactly he builds with all this stuff?? Do you have pictures of some of his projects?

[@tommysts1920]

I wonder if he has time to build anything? He has spent so much time building this wonderful shop. He must get a nice allowance too!

[@overmanonfire]

This is far away beyond awesome !

[@CannedHam6]

That place is better stocked than many woodworking supply stores I have seen but like others have already mentioned, where do you have room to actually build something?

[@FitzgeraldFiles]

OMG! Awesome to the max, the best ever seen.

[@Manim3]

can you ask him what he used for his drill hangers... it looked really good

[@FloppyHatPhotos]

Wow a guy could get lost in there. What is the wheel thing with all the jars on it?

[@SuperKwame1]

Wow. I'm seriously impressed.

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

I'm officially jealous. Incredible.

[@RegioProtectoresRP]

Me gusta mucho tu taller, cada cosa en su lugar. Saludos desde Monterrey, México

[@davids2928]

Does one man deserve all that power? That's awesome!

[@drumintercourse]

anyone want to tell what on earth the wheel with bottles on it is. it looks really cool. 2:20

[@Djsand1000]

Looks like some kind of organization tool for small parts. the bottles have little dowels and things in them.

[@bryanbatts]

It looks like it stores supplies in each bottle. My guess

[@tagi3d]

Tim "the tool man" would be howling and drooling over this workshop.

[@iammrlee]

Jacuques has just become the name of the person that rebuilds a city after an apocalyptic event in my personal novel. You can really rebuild a city with the tools here. No doubt.

[@cackleberryfarm4598]

It would have been REALLY cool if he had taken you on a tour of the place to explain it all.

[@Reconbox1001]

WOW! This shop is a super shop :)

[@kendaniels7257]

Incredible amount of tools and such. It would take a month just to blow off the dust after a project.

[@killersugar6816]

I’m guessing there’s a separate area for assembly and finishing. Is there anything he doesn’t own?

[@GeneMstoner]

Impressive work space, well lit, very organized, nice and tidy!

[@CT2507]

wow, this workshop is like a museum! i just hope there are sprinklers in the ceiling, cause with all that wood everywhere, and wood on the ceiling and all those lamps. i'd just hate to think what would happen in case of a fire. :(

[@StevePrior]

Amazing shop. I can see that he can build any piece imaginable, it seems like it might be hard to actually find space to put them together. I didn't see a space where you could actually assemble anything. Is there an open space somewhere (hopefully near the way to get stuff in/out)?

[@garywilliams3412]

Does he make fine furniture or what is his specialty?

[@qhack]

Some day, I wish to have a shop 1/4 that size. WOW!

[@maggielouhill]

How do you move around ? I'm guessing he doesn't make to many big projects in there.

[@nrdesign1991]

that IS an amazing workshop! I'M JEALOUS NOW!

[@phillace]

So now I know what heaven looks like !!!!!

[@carbiify]

You could process every tree in the Amazon rain forest with that lot. Incredible.

[@CthulhuFTW]

Every tool you'll ever need, for any project you ever do.

[@manologarci]

I can´t believe my eyes. He has more tools and stuff than the place where i buy.For your next visit ,could you show us the rest of the ... MANSION ?

[@sawaiz2558]

The wheel thing at 2:18 looks like a parts holder. if you look carefully one of them have dowel pieces in them

[@matthiaswandel]

he he, and he told me he's added some tools since then!

[@dct3588]

My Gosh. This workshop can make almost anything.

[@newjerseybt]

Lion Hunter Whatever he makes never requires cutting a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood.

[@MeLaTubiTu]

AWWWSOME!! And it's perfectly tidy.. Unbelievable.

[@RDJim]

Does Jacques work in his shop as his profession or is the shop strictly a hobby? Very impressive indeed.

[@JesusvonNazaret]

amazing workshop

[@bardock2525]

@capnbly7 its the basement of a 1800 square feet bungalow.

[@ttk1opc]

Whoa, was that the large hadron collider at 2:18 ?

[@chrisxdeboy]

in the beginning, was that the side an acoustic guitar he was making?

[@mervhoward5821]

Incredible. When money is no object! I'm just starting on this journey.

[@jacobgrace83]

if i was going to live for ever i could warrant this much gear.

[@yannisrouen4448]

Amazing shop.

[@CovenGraphics]

I want to walk into a store with this video and say "I'll take it all". Then I want to back the truck into my new Garage/:Factory-work-shop" and start building furniture for my home as well as some sweet guitars!!! Nice shop! CHEERS!!!

[@theoriginalpunisher]

Awesome organization considering you are only working in an 1800 sqft shop. Mines in a 24x24 garage. Nice tour

[@noahknopf8023]

what would you do if you got offered right now to have that as your birthday present

[@nivlacker101]

so flippin organized

[@mightywombat]

Crikey! It looks like a freaking hardware store in there! Someone has clearly been collecting tools for that workshop for a Long Time. Great big basement, too!

[@davidemoreo8276]

amazing...that shop's owner deserves all my admiration, it makes me feel like a child in a toys shop...but, anyway, does dustless mean useless?

[@erfut]

Great workshop and good video if it was not so blurring during Panning he camera. But what a workshop .

[@ishortland]

Great tools etc. etc. but where's the space to build anything?

[@dniliveact]

great one ❤

[@capnbly7]

how big is said house above this basement

[@dollymotor6711]

Amazing garage..

[@wintersnot]

Unique, smart use of space. I'd feel a bit crowded. To each their own. Quite an investment!

[@edwealleans]

Apart from the fact he's got too much stuff in his basement. How do you get all this gear in a basement?

[@StevePrior]

So what would be the "toss me the keys and leave" price for this place?

[@trailkeeper]

It would be great to have a neighbor like that.

[@Growingblocks]

Does he have a youtube channel?

[@couerl]

@TheYTViolation Maybe the shop is the WIP.. How it functions as a shop is much different than how it looks as one. I got the impression I was looking in a hardware store and not a shop per-se, but that's not such a bad thing either really..

[@noahknopf8023]

how many of those tools did he use in the past 10 years and look at that hardware orginazation

[@tangledupinbluegrass]

+deepthroat212 Don't post this filth on Matthias' channel.

[@x9x9x9x9x9]

I hope all that is insured. That is a nice collection though.

[@dougpichler501]

I like the pinwheels full of parts.

[@mpetersen6]

He's actually the only other guy I've seen who's got a drill press like mine. At 2:07.

[@Bacilero]

Oh my god!! I love this workshop, is amazing!

[@SuperKwame1]

How did you find this man?

[@DeptulaRacing]

@legoboy7825 that makes no sense, because he uses his tools, sawdust would be everywhere on everything in that workshop but theres not much sawdust around the whole shop at all

[@777strongcoffee]

If that's the "basement" - what's the rest of the house look like ??

[@ebird97]

I need some stuff, can i borrow a table saw?

[@ranshellna4193]

“More” is not always better. If an object being worked on or made is larger than a toaster it would have to go outside. Looks like he’s had fun putting it together.

[@IcanCwhatUsay]

What is that wheel thing? 2:19

[@chuanchow8204]

awesome...

[@mrk896]

I'm watching this video in 2019 and wondering how much new tools this guy had bought since the video came out in 2010..

[@williampeterson6025]

did any body keep track how many drill presses he has

[@Justinofalltrades1]

is that a museum or a workshop?

[@asaguda]

That looks very.. Home-y and comfortable.

[@jjlwis]

omg.... that's amazing!
