Building my new studio was chaotic

[@EvanMonsma]

If you'd like to support my channel, throw me a couple bucks on my website. Thank you :) evanmonsma.com/

[@JonasPetri]

It's incredible how you changed that space so fast... At first it felt really plain and kind of hostile, but after putting all your furniture and stuff up, it suddenly became really cozy-looking... I really look forward to your upcoming videos!

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you 🙏 Much more to come

[@applejuice.mp4164]

“I did this build without a square or ruler, i dont know where either of those things are” you are legendary

[@ussi]

this is the best DeWalt comercial ive ever seen

[@nootrecruit]

This video was randomly suggested to me by youtube and I don't think I've ever felt as comfortable watching a space evolve as I have with this one, everything has so much personality I'm really looking forward to seeing this grow!!

[@EvanMonsma]

Hell yeah I’m glad you found the channel! I appreciate it

[@Miscast]

Congrats on a new beginning, welcome home

[@EvanMonsma]

Thanks Trent :)

[@RexExLiberi]

I am in awe and sincerely envy your complete disregard for order and cleanliness (you repotted a plant indoors on top of a rug! … Inconceivable). I mean it. I feel like my need for a "proper place and proper tools" is holding me back creatively.

[@Bluestarferies]

Same.. i am so annoyed with myself being so obsessed with cleanliness and order.. I wasn't like this...

[@somedude2492]

8:50 yeah it happens to the best of us... I cut my finger open like a banana skin halfway up my nail with an angle grinder because i was using it with no guard. Dropped the angle grinder as soon as i felt it touch my finger, shattered the disk and scared the shit out of me. Healed just fine, but i learnt my lesson.

[@cheeseburger347]

Just imagining the landlord watching all this with popcorn.

[@illousion7]

I've been watching a lot of "dream desk" stuff recently and i Really love how your approach is so drastically different yet the final space feels so cozy. Great work!

[@heatherrose6608]

oh dear i fear i have found someone who also does messy wood furniture just as i. i have been reusing a massive tarva ikea dresser for 9 years. it's become desks, shelves, workspaces, a dresser, and a few others. i love all of the old screw holes. they tell a story. the layers of splattered paint from my toddler who is now a big girl. it's something special. i reuse everything wood until it is no longer usable lol. i am so happy i've come across this channel. it feels homey, cozy.

[@ScottYuJan]

i can already tell season 2 is gonna be a good one! I hope you find a way to use that ceiling fan motor in a project. it has potential

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you Scott 🙏 I've got some ideas

[@st4r683]

I love this. Most of my grandparent's home consists of scrapwood construction, I can remember the 2x4-plywood combo shelving unit that held the countless toys they kept for my cousins, my brother, my friends, and I. I remember finding the scrap pile in the backyard and creating makeshift club houses and seesaws. I remember the vibrant paints that sat on shelves which were covered in spills of lilac and cyan and off-white, matching the colors of their walls in old photos. It tempts me, to do this myself. To create a home that is truly, my home. A home that fits my every need, my every creation, and that can adapt as I do the same.

[@CesarCalad]

omg why does all your content feel like it is from the early 2000s it is amazing

[@EposVox]

Hell yeah, this is my kind of setup. Good stuff. Also you moved pretty close to me - rad!

[@micelab]

So glad you are back...

[@EvanMonsma]

Me too

[@JTSpangler]

Man, this video hit me with so much nostalgia. This is exactly how I started building stuff when I was in my 20s. Figuring it out, long 2x4s hanging out of my honda window, making cuts in a parking lot. Now I'm 44 with a dope workshop and I buy shelves rather than building them, but this video made me long for those days.

[@oliverkershaw]

I really needed this today man. Just finished building a workshop/ studio space at the bottom of my garden and while I'm drowning in wood I couldn't see how I could make the scrapped together look come out the way I wanted but you nailed it

[@gearbox_]

The way you make your place look through building and decorating reminds me so much of the "I Spy" books I used to look through as a kid and I love it! Great work, and I love that you reuse old wood! its great for the environment and adds history and a homey feel to the place. Definitely a good inspiration for how I'm going to decorate my place.

[@Curionimbus]

Stoked to see you putting down roots again; Transience has it's perks, but it's good to have a space to call "Home". Excited for the new season and seeing what you make of it. All the best.

[@RynooEdits]

Best random youtube suggested video I've ever received! Nice Video!

[@ey1424]

i really like ur style, really good and unique in ur own way

[@eamgael]

Loved the video, the vibe and the way of building. Got very much inspired to do something similar on my own office. Thanks for sharing and keep building!

[@_addie]

This was so relaxing and comforting to watch. Also, seeing all the piano strings in the fire was wild. Love how everything is repurposed :)

[@alexorhuxley]

The algo did its job. A random, unexpected, and delightful appearance. Welcome to Indy, friend. Hope you're having a good time here.

[@TheCookieRager]

such a dope video, loved the editing and everything, plus the space looks great

[@dancronin403]

Fresh content. I like your style but good god man. Your hands. Don't lose them.

[@elliotcln]

I would love to hear more on what gear / edits you used for those home town shots. I LOVE the way it looks, colour & aspect ratio

[@EvanMonsma]

just an old canon powershot in 640x480. just did a bit of coloring, pumped up the greens and made everything warm

[@beatboy_hades]

hes the definition of cool

[@A.rchibald]

The last minute of this really resonated with me. I consider myself a perfectionist, that has unfortunately had influence on my space and I often find myself missing my family home and the "make do" nature of things. Now, as an adult, I find myself chasing a clean "curated" workspace. Which ironically is probably doing more to get in the way of my creativity, seeing you build your space like you have has really inspired me to reconsider what I value in a work/living space. Also, we have the same small LED panels! Real useful.

[@DommoDommo]

Randomly had this in my recommendations. Glad i watched it, really nice story telling!

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you! glad to see KZbin is giving it a push :)

[@paolosimonazzi2385]

very inspiring, thanks

[@nandorszabo2354]

Happy too see you settle in the new place! I had no idea how much I missed your videos man, so I'm really happy to see you back at it again. Watching these bring peace to me like nothin else. Can't wait to see what comes next, scrap king!

[@StereoPenguin94]

Brother made backyard shed vibes in his room,respect

[@MrNeedles12]

Welcome back mate, it's bloody good to see you uploading again. Much love from Australia.

[@gremlinsbreath]

A room never has so much potential as when it's empty.

[@Luis-sj4wg]

I love your studio. Truly inspiring. A hug from Chile.

[@benmangold887]

Love the new space. I live right by that Lowe’s, welcome to the neighborhood.

[@toasty5032]

This is my first video I've ever seen. There is something about this content that pulls me in

[@impCPU]

welcome back!!!! the new studio is looking awesome! glad to see ur settling in and have someplace that feels like Home again

[@Laveylovell]

glad to see you back evan!

[@EasyMac308]

Glad to see that you're back and that you have all of your fingers still. That studio is quite the change from 13' ceilings.

[@designbyjohnperez]

I love how you used trinkets and other things to make the studio yours. The overhead storage space is brilliant and practical!

[@Itsjayduhhhhh]

This looks like my basement but cozy and not some dark dungeon

[@ChristopherDenmon]

This was enjoyable for sure. I do things the same way. I build all my own furniture and keep wood, and other bits for years. If I need something, I figure out how to make it. I’ve been living out of a van I built up the past two years, and will be getting back into a “normal” space soon. This video really motivated me, and helped me realize how much I miss all my little things that I have in storage. Keep up all the rad work.

[@Mu3azOsman]

bro, your vids are evoloving so much! season 2 is off to a great start

[@Fabiozon]

Fantastic video and storytelling. On another note: Please be safe. You can always cut wood tomorrow, you can never regrow a lost appendage.

[@kathrynmonsma]

Yayyy season 2! So good to see the studio come up again... What a wonderful space

[@MonsieurZine]

Looks like a perfect place for cool projects ! Love the way you’ve done it and do new furnitures !

[@VibrantlyBrantly]

I think it would be pretty awesome if you made your own custom fan blades to replace what you took off. Maybe like a wooden toroidal ceiling fan? I know you took it down to save space so instead maybe have it drive a long belt to a wall fan?

[@EvanMonsma]

I absolutely love the idea hahaha never thought about running a belt to use the motor elsewhere. if I can find some good wood to serve that purpose I might have to. Thanks for the dono too!

[@VibrantlyBrantly]

@@EvanMonsma just thought it'd be a good video idea. Not to mention a toroidal propeller without a CNC would be very impressive if you can pull it off 🤣 I like the belt idea better and I think it's more practical

[@alexhernandez67]

Or a mill, or a lathe or something power toolish :D

[@VibrantlyBrantly]

@@alexhernandez67 not ridged or torquey enough. My first idea was to drive a generator that would power a led from across the room but realized soon after that would require some sort of planetary gear box making the idea completely impossible due to the fact sun gears and and planet gear don't appear in nature on their own plus we'd need to find a earth gear. Needles to say I don't think it'd work and I don't think I can fit any more nonsense into a single run on sentence.

[@TronDawg]

Great channel. Being smart with circular saws is key. Hold them tight, they can run too. With a miter/chop saw, Had a similar experience. Was cutting a small piece that slipped off the fence because of the gap behind the blade. Got pulled in and back, And twisted/spun/jammed so fast that it almost ripped my fingernail off. It was that skate deck ply wood that has a curve to it as well. Check out those zero clearance miter saw spoil boards. always be careful or avoid small pieces potentially lift or move. Clamps, scraps and push sticks always help. Saws pull in. Japanese pull saw with a miter jig is quick and low dust. But yeah, awesome Channel. have fun!

[@mamercier10]

Beautiful! Excited to see you what you create in this new space

[@lowintellecttrash6737]

this level of cozy is what i strive for ngl ill prob move sometime next month so this channel will really inspire me to do something else with whatever space im given

[@jorgesierra3203]

great to have you back!

[@swagwizard4376]

literally my favorite studio space ive ever seen. this is so dope, and quite inspiring

[@Janduny]

oh my GOD finally a youtube human with a workspace I resonate with. Ahhh I love your vibe. I feel so alone with my way of, well, assembling my living space, everyone calls me eclectic or artistic and I'm just trying to feel OKAY with the stuff that surrounds me everyday. And it needs to be accessible and all in one place and also look nice. I like every single video of yours and they feel like home :) I'm now subscribed to you. Thank you for sharing your stuff with us!!

[@JamesGWall]

Great to have you back. Crazy that I checked your channel yesterday in case I missed an upload and the day after here you are.

[@godcompl3xxx733]

dude got that fallout 4 office setup

[@jdmurphy]

Congrats on the new space! Very glad to see your channel pop up again

[@evanbergen7832]

I’ve love watchin you grow dude! I’m jealous of your studio, it looks amazing!

[@alinosgg]

Love the yolo lifestyle & refreshing studio look.. all KZbin look the same, thx men !

[@itssaltshaker1698]

you might be one of the most talented people I have seen on the internet

[@IceAngel_LR]

Absolutely fantastic!❤ Such inspiration to see you find new life in things most people trow away

[@PitchonLucas]

holy shit, I'm a new viewer here and absolutely love your attitude and style - keep it up, man.

[@Qwazerty-x4z]

This is exacltly the way I was looking to build my workshop (simple product, no especialy brand new wood, custom and overhead framing). And you made a video on it, so curious to watch how you made yours with a closer look. Happy to discover your channel for your other videos too :D +1 sub

[@LeaveCurious]

You could use the cieling fan rotation as a sanding disc. everything in your office can have a dusting of sawdust... congrats on the move!

[@EvanMonsma]

Lmao I love it

[@jordanweimer788]

Btw, I love your photography lighting philosophy. Lights on sucks. Professional lights are expensive. No dollar. Use your phone or one bulb. lol I've never related to something more.

[@jordanweimer788]

Nvm. lol. This was more about avioding moving lights. 😂😂

[@SFLMedia]

looks amazing man, i commented on one of your other videos as you inspired me to go back to DIY builds instead of buying new furniture. I now have a custom painted shelf for my cameras and an under desk cubby hole to keep various gadgets and books. sadly cant put anything on the walls here due to the landlords strict rules but using shelving is a great way around that. hope you're all good mate, keep living life.

[@dannyjarratt5414]

For first-time viewers, this was an excellent video. I prefer exact, stark clean, minimal studio spaces with a few retro bits. But your storytelling was so good. It felt like an extension of your making. Everything is worn and exciting. I am gonna subscribe; I don't know if I'll be here for a long time. But thanks for this video and the stories.

[@Cheeseb0ng]

You really are an amazingly creative mind and you are a great inspiration for me.

[@EzenamiStudio]

First time seeing your channel and damn dude! this build is so inspiring! spray stain and and exposed screws so i can keep reconfiguring shit is definitely the way I'm going with my next build! Kept mine sexy mat black for long and love it bat damn it shows every speck of dust on camera so I have been thinking of going with a more rustic messy look next time around aaaaand there's your vid! Love it!!!!!!!!!

[@seanbarr5822]

Eyyy! Looks sick dude! Welcome back

[@lomeas]

we are back baby! build looks great & 10/10 vid as usual!

[@zee9731]

congrats on the move and build! i'm between places living out of a shoe box creatively speaking and i can wait to set up my new space. thanks for the inspo

[@sameboat9162]

I really enjoyed this video. I am about to move and feel very inspired and excited to set up my studio after watching this. Thank you. 🙏

[@AzimuthDirective]

Thank you for being the realest KZbinr! I’m along for the ride and inspired by every video!

[@EvanMonsma]

Thank you 🙏

[@WorkFromHype]

Wonderful video and the studio is pure vibes. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@degrotekoningwouter]

Can't wait for more buildings, creations, stories and silliness!

[@AndrewsLeague]

so glad to see more stuff from you, all of your videos are so inspiring. thank you for sharing all of your memories with us :^)

[@jacqueshervieux5112]

You are so very inspiring .... Thanks for sharing.

[@justinwaddy2093]

Been looking forward to this upload for a while now - superb stuff

[@turtle-vibes6833]

Really great video I enjoyed it a lot and it made me feel like things don't have to be perfect to also be good and special. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jamboxxx]

I love the idea of a central 360° overhead camera where the old fan is, you could use a transformer to step down the voltage going to the motor and use it to power/charge the camera instead!

[@Vanillayote]

i love this channel and your philosophy behind making things

[@мертвецыкрафтят]

that's a very calm and viby video, thank you

[@jaredjosematias9416]

I think Van Neistat would be so happy watching this. It's a sub and a like from me.

[@jayerose1032]

oh god that shelf of books and trinkets is so reminiscent of the eye spy book aesthetics TT, great work keep it up !

[@zacharias_b]

your videos have a special vibe to them

[@morristaylor6310]

Glad to have you back

[@morristaylor6310]

Also stop doing stupid stuff with a circular saw. That's what hand saws are for lol

[@not_joe2298]

Bros backk! Great video!

[@LuisMercadoorg]

Fantastic video, we missed your brand of DIY ingenuity. And the spaces ended up feeling very personal, with a lot of character. Btw, I was really clenching at 8:11 thinking you’d say you severed a finger or something. In an unrelated note, you’re tall son! Never noticed that.

[@sensuku]

the best channel on youtube hands down

[@EdwinLeung]

4:12 colt kirwan stream spotted 👀 excited for the new chapter!

[@GrotOrderlyPL]

As Jimmy Diresta says: if it looks straight, it is straight enough (or something similar). Good job! Just found your channel.

[@malixcrash]

You know, for all the "studio tours" and "maker space setups" I've literally never considered one that looks as janky and fucked up to hit the bare minimum of "it works and does what I need" for a creation space. It gives me the same grungy vibes of my beat up car, and I love that!

[@michaelkerkhofs7536]

This is brilliant. Makes me feel good about my ultra chaotic workshop!

[@jmankman4671]

This guy needs more recognition for real

[@wonderwhatchannel]

Yeaaaaaah nice! Looking so good Evan! Nice to have you back 🙌🏻

[@1HalfbloodPrince]

Amazing.

[@MrBreyd]

Bloody..literally..coziness is running through my veins!👍
