Blacktail Garage Shop Tour - Woodworking Shop Tour 2020

You guys keep asking for a shop tour, so here it is! My garage workshop is technically a six car garage. Which is HUGE... but my wife takes up about half of it with her Volvo and cooking supplies. Let me know what you think, and any ideas I can use to improve on it. Oh! and stick around till the end for a big announcement. Or just skip ahead to the end. Either way, at least watch the end.
For a more detailed dive into these tools, including cheaper alternatives, check out my blog here:

I want to see all the flip-flop friendly accommodations you provide in the new shop. I tend to work in flip flops as well, so this will be of particular interest to me! :D Congrats on the new shop, new house and all the rest. Enjoy the madness!

[@BlacktailStudio]

I’m gonna go ahead and pin this and the best comment so far 😂

[@singJJBplay]

@@BlacktailStudio Top of the world, Ma! Ha! 😁

[@LanceCustomWoodcraft]

Flip flops or Sanuks! Better than picking splinters out barefoot...

[@BS-qj3ec]

It's ok till you drop a marking knife or chisel on your foot .🙂

[@tommydauphin1080]

Oofos flip flops are what I work in almost exclusively. I am interested in getting that assembly table floor jack you showed. Cool stuff.

[@sulemanmodan8095]

The first half of the kzbin.infoUgkx3ICSK6nSknaL_45CU2NmFSoXjarGMDiJ book is everything about wood: types, tools, finishes, setting up shop etc. The second half is all about doing projects for inside and outside of the home. The color pictures are helpful. After reading a dozen of these types of books, this is probably the best overall (layout, color photos, plans). Only detraction is that many of the projects use a table saw/router/planer, which are usually expensive and take up space, so the plans are less friendly to newcomers and the budget conscious. But I know I can use a drill, circular saw or a jigsaw to make the projects.

[@Gollum2150]

When you do the new shop setup, gear it towards new woodworkers on how to set up shops effectively!

[@BlacktailStudio]

I’ll try!

[@johncline3033]

Nice shop... I'm starting from scratch. I inherited a small farm in Louisiana, 3.5 acres, there are 2 outbuildings and one is going to be my shop. It's about 50'X50' with a dirt floor and a missing window. I've spent the last 4 years cleaning out overgrowth and making gardens. Now it's time to put the shop together. I have an old plainer and a hammer and table saw. I've never done any woodworking but now it's time. I watch your video's for tips and I like the way your setup and will try to do something like that. God Bless!!!

[@chrishuddle1]

I have to give you props for being so upfront with the sponsors. It’s so refreshing to have someone be honest instead of shoving a product down my throat. Last week you had told me Goby Walnut is a good site to order wood from online, but unfortunately they won’t ship to CA. You have a second recommendation? Lol

[@BlacktailStudio]

That’s so weird. Give them a call and confirm that

[@RickSanchez-ye9bi]

Your honesty at the start hooked me to watch and I'm glad I did, great video. Good luck with flitting house

[@carolynwier1130]

I enjoy your comentary and your projects. Now that you’ve shared your story I appreciate your videos even more

[@andrewcain173]

Congratulations man. Can't wait for the big builds in the new big shop!

[@BlacktailStudio]

[@brucecrawford4399]

[@brianwinters9533]

It is so good to see your shop is not an ultra high end area. What you turn out is amazing and motivates me. We have similar shops!

[@BradMcClave]

Looking forward to seeing the new shop. Building looks simar to something I missed out on several years ago. Good luck!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks brad!

[@genepitkethley2319]

I can happily recommend the Festool "Kapex" mitre saw. I have used mine constantly for about 12 years now and I wouldn't swap it out for any other saw available today. Awesome gear. Also, really liked this shop tour video so thanks for putting it up as it has opened my mind up to different ways to set up my own shop.

[@BrianD3468]

Congrats on the new house and new shop. Cant wait to see the new shop layout.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks brian!

[@marcovelez942]

As always Cam another great video and loved the tour. I'm happy for you and your wife and you getting into a larger space can't wait to see the walk through and how you convert the empty space into your dream. Thanks for sharing and taking us for the ride

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Marco!

[@planbeeapiaries]

New shop. I am about to go through the same type of thing and planning out a new shop in a 600 sq ft garage, you made me feel better about having a mess like that and feeling that I am not alone, so I thank you for that. Trying to be more organized when I start building out my new one. :)

[@jimalexander7695]

Congrats and good luck. I'd be interested in seeing your dust collection and ventilation system in the new shop. Cleaner air is always a bonus!

[@BlacktailStudio]

Agreed!

[@puddle1puddle]

Congrats on finding new home and what am sure will become a great workshop...look forward to following your journey on new workshop design

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks Neville!

[@tasokontominas1224]

Congratulations!!! Great news. Greetings from South Africa.

[@jameshodgins1937]

Cam, thank you for this video. I usually don't pay too much attention to the tools people use. I am more interested in what you are making. However, I had no idea that there were floor locks in existence. They will be perfect for my rolling assembly table and maybe even for my table saw. Also, thanks for the shop tour. I like a working shop. Some of these guys on KZbin have show shops, you have a working shop. Congratulations on the new house and new shop.

[@BlacktailStudio]

Thanks james!

[@brianmehlhoff2344]

Love the products you've built. Great news and good luck with the new shop. GO BEAVS!
