Hi Jason! I found out recently I am the recipient of the Grizzly Bandsaw. I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am. It was a very unexpected surprise, and I am very grateful. It's going to open up a lot of possibilities in my shop. Thank you!!!

Just got to the part of the video mentioning the band saw. How ironic. Have fun! ... And watch your fingers.

[@blackened144]

When I was about the foreman's age in the late 80s, my dad replaced our houses 2 toilets with the new "low flow" models. He wasn't sure if the garbage men would pick up 2 toilets on the side of the road, so he looked at me and asked, "Do you want to smash these to pieces with the sledge hammer?". The answer was of course "YES!". So we flattened out the boxes the toilets came in and went to town smashing them to tiny pieces that we could then put in a can for them to haul away. I haven't thought of that in a looong time but watching the foreman demo that wall brought that memory back.

[@patrickmccauley3255]

When I was a kid my grandparents bought an old halfway house. All the rooms had been walled into tiny quarters. They gave me and my cousins hammers and told us to go nuts. So thrilling for an 8 year old kid!

[@DaveGled]

Man Jason, I know you think those shop tables weren't worthy of a second life, but I have no doubt there was someone, somewhere, who would've been honored to repurpose them. That really hurt to watch you cut them up. Also, those heavy-duty worktable casters aren't cheap. Again, reusing them (unless they, for some reason, weren't working any longer) would save you a couple of future bucks. Or donate them to some other woodworker who wouldn't mind saving $40 or $50 bucks themselves.

Clearly you don’t care but, it is actually kind of bewildering to see something useful just thrown away cuz someone made a bunch of money and instead of giving it away or selling it you just destroy it and throw it away. It’s cringe.

It’s serendipitous that you’re renovation vids are starting when Michael alm’s house reno is finished. Love both of your content would be awesome to see a new project together! I’ve been looking forward to your new shop progress, hope you keep showing the full build process!

[@chriswoods7452]

If I've noticed one thing from this guy, it's that he does not care about waste. Hence the totally unnecessary maple outfeed table. The building of a "dream shop" when he already can pull out a £2500 shaper origin to rout a straight line 😂. Don't come to this channel for relatability or moderation lol

[@justinlarsen2011]

I was thinking the same thing about the casters.. my inner cheapskate was crying

[@Tallstreehouse]

I'm on a nickel and dime budget, so I would have to agree, but I also don't get around to using that sort of stuff until years later.

[@POLPO_WOOD]

@@chriswoods7452 The dude donated half his machines for free to woodworkers with disabilities, made sure his patreons got stuff aswel. Gave away half his printing business to people living on the same street.. He works very hard and earned his own money. But always there is this jealous guy in the comment section telling everyone what kind of person Jason is and focusing on this one thing they don't like. Maybe focus on your own life.

[@orangew3988]

​@@POLPO_WOODI don't do woodworking, im not jealous at all, and im super glad he gave away the good stuff he didn't want anymore. But there are other people, like me, who look at things and see good stuff even when the rest is broken. Im sure there are people in the world that flinch at what i throw out. I will say that as a european, the aim is to recycle/reuse everything and only dispose if there is no other alternative.

[@plasmac9]

I'd start with refinishing the floor and epoxy coating it. Just don't put flakes down in any sort of shop floor or you'll never be able to find any small pieces you might drop.

[@Dragonited]

Just put down a flashlight or a bar light on the floor and you will easily see the shadows of the things on the ground. The best would be a laser line low to the ground, sort of like the one on Dysons new vacuum cleaner.

[@rs2024-s4u]

Well as Winston once said "Perfection is the enemy of progress" so I would define what/why you are changing your shop, I see your primary product as Videos. So my first steps would be to think of this space as a video studio. So first for me would be lighting which thanks to LED lighting heat generated by reaching levels high enough to achieve light levels needed to achieve professional results and film at speeds and depth of fields while producing even high intensity shadow free lighting necessary for quality video production, next would be positioning of props(equipment) allowing for best angles for filming, I would continue along these lines of not trying for woodworking efficiency but rather an area that makes story telling using videos as the main focus and not production of finished projects. In this manner you will end up with firstly the best you can design video studio that focuses on video first and useability while being taken into account is secondary. Like horsepower, for filming there is never too much lighting or too many useable filming angles and it's always far easier to dim or move a camera rather than having shadows or not getting the best shots for what you are filming.
