Did Rebecka ask if that Maple was for her bookshelves?! LOL

[@terrycastor8299]

‘Nary a bookshelf in sight!😂

[@Steven72160]

I thought the same thing. I'm sure she mentioned that honey do list 😂

[@Kevin_D1]

Yeah, he is procrastinating on those bookselves. 😂😂😂😂

[@Abundantgracehomestead]

I’m glad we all thought about Rebecca and her bookshelf😂

[@allandocater6296]

This time I will use WoodPrix instructions to make it.

[@brianyeitz1380]

The rack and workbench look awesome. I think I heard Rebekah say under her breath "my bookshelf" better look this nice. 😆

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi ..... Thanks you for showing your video homestead 🏠🐔🐓🐣🐤🐥🦃🦆🦢🦮🐈🐑🐄🐷🐖🐝🎏🐠🐟🎣🎥👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍

[@CarlHargreavesRustyRelicsUK]

It might have been time-consuming, but the finished metal rack looks top-notch 👌🏼

[@michellepollino4986]

Happy Birthday ❤. The storage rack turned out really nice. Love watching ❤.

[@margaretpervier8357]

I really like the way that shelving looks. 😊❤

[@BenNayder]

You must have exceed your expectations on that metal storage rack Evan. It looks great and will pay for itself in the long run.

[@kevinwittstruck8764]

Happy belated birthday Evan

[@peterbrauer9244]

Happy Birthday, Evan! Love your project videos. Country View Acres is one of my favorite channels, keep up the great work!

[@eveeastteam7518]

Happy Birthday, Evan. You have accomplished much in your 48 years! Your family must be so proud of you! Your workbench is amazing! Rebecca will love her bookshelves when they’re done! 🥰

[@greghamann2099]

A very creative and efficient workspace well done!

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

This entire project was brilliant. The top looks good enough to be household furniture. Be proud. You earned it. Editing made this video easily watchable. Thx! 👍👍👍

[@grizzchris64]

The metal rack looks great. Another job well done.

[@mikeross5927]

You are a true CRAFTSMAN. I did millwright work for years, you would have been great to work with.

[@PhyllisGentry-b8n]

Great job, Evan! Nice to have the chargers out of the way and in a secure location.

[@mrclaus859]

Thanks for posting Evan

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Evan and Rebekah! I love watching the two of you work together. Your new metal rack is amazing!

[@rodfair5698]

Many happy returns. You have worn well !!

[@lexi4693]

My husband LOVES zip ties also. Used a lot of them when he was a Jet engine mechanic in the Air Force. Great bench. My husband is jealous of your property especially the lake.

[@tommychew6544]

Great episode, I really enjoyed it! I've always worked that way, make your vision work for what you want till the end.

[@garyreed-r8c]

Happy Birthday....everything is organized and where it is supposed to be.nice and neat and out of the way

[@kenpgh]

The project really is getting the workshop organized - great job 👍🇺🇸

[@DavidSunshineAquaWash]

It looks like a great workbench and storage area

[@stangaston9033]

Great job Evan. Do it right or do it twice. I think you will be happy with that for a long time.

[@miltonhurd1016]

That shelf in the shop would be a good start to a bookshelf

[@seansysig]

Rebecca is in the shop looking for her bookcases ;) Johnson’s Paste wax on the jointer bed after removing rust and staining.

[@jjohnson2553]

If you are fortunate enough to have some. They stopped making it a while back for some reason. I heard they were selling it like prized concert tickets on ebay a while back for $50 a can. Don't know if any is still available there or on amazon.

[@donaldisberner7779]

You could build an angled shelf hanging on the wall for the chargers food for thought . Love you channel great stuff

[@kathycrook1913]

Happy Birthday!

[@arlodewald5378]

Every man needs a Wonderful Woman like Rebecca to buy you great useful tools for around your country acres . I myself never knew how much I would be using battery powered blower and chainsaw . Just make sure you allow her to use them as well . Like the wrap around porches and any concrete pads . It's so much faster and cleaner than a broom .

[@douglasgatian1401]

Thanks Rebecka for letting me watch.

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Belated Happy Birthday! That blower was an awesome gift. I think you did a great job on the workbench - metal storage rack. Have a good evening!

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That metal storage rack turned out great. Looks even better fastened to the wall and lots of metal on it and the battery chargers and batteries charged up and ready for work. Thanks for sharing with us Evan and Rebecca you all did a great job. Fred and family.

[@jeremybuchanan6622]

The rack turned out great. I think everyone should think things through the way that you do on your projects. Always better to have a plan for what it might look like in the end vs. having to change things afterwards, when you don't figure on what else might be impacted by what you are doing. Multifunctional work areas are always the best.

[@chrisjones-ys5zg]

the rack really does work well.. great progress on the shop.. much love xxc

[@dianejacob953]

nicely done. You will love your new space!

[@greybear3090]

Tip O the hat on the build Evan, I have to say it will be a handy addition to the shop

[@johnmarsh481]

Bought an ego blower after seeing one in use a year ago. Have used it to remove snow from my drive every snow so far this season! Small drive takes less time to blow clean than it does to start my snow blower. Absolutely amazing tool!

[@toddhowell2299]

Instead of towels, you can use sawdust, or better yet your planer chips, to wipe up the excess glue. It works really well and the price is right.

[@TomCox-x6b]

If your spin out rims are galvanized after you get them cleaned up wipe them down with white vinegar right before you prime them that will make primer and paint adhere to the galvanized metal.

[@maiyetri]

Looks great Evan.....Happy belated birthday!

[@blackbumble9988]

Hey Evan, consider putting a shelf above the metal Rack/workbench for battery chargers. To increase your workbench space.

[@elainedegoede6276]

Wow that look great. Love it. Regards to Rebecka. ❤🙏

[@irhusker6569]

That birch plywood is great for many things, but not a workbench. Very soft and as you've seen, thin veneer.

[@allenbartlett3567]

It looks grate Daniel

[@freddierose]

😉His name is Evan.

[@GARYPETERSON-t9u]

Just need metal outlet covers. Shop is looking good

[@DanaFoster-vl5os]

Great job

[@kellyodom9596]

Got more tools than you but not near the shop, you’re doing great and everything looks great, keep on keeping on I’m a fan.

[@goephish]

boy, those custom-built, bookshelves are looking beautiful. Lol

[@stevenbrown3901]

Hi Evan. I think your whole idea, turned out great. I can hardly wait to watch you, put the Allis Chalmers tractor together. I hope you plan on making it, look like new again. That would be sweet. Take care and I look forward to the next video. You and Rebecca stay warm, healthy, and safe. 👍😎💪🚜

[@greybear3090]

Oh and Happy Birthday!

[@carolynspaulding6322]

Happy Birthday Evan and shop is looking so professional. Now waiting (lol) for Rebeca's book case nothing like putting pressure on a man huh? You are an awesome craftsman. Congrats.

[@billgolcher2537]

awesome metal storage and work area just having the area off the floor finally has to make you feel great having everything turn out so awesome takes it too another level on your wood working planer jointer I had the same issues I tried using a paste wax on the tables it keeps it from rusting and makes the wood slide on them way easier you mentioned rust remover I was told getting citric acid I ordered some on amazon and that worked way better and way cheaper and you add the citric acid with water in a plastic container and you can save it and use it again. lover your videos take care

[@chrisrexroat3240]

Shelf looks great! Glad youre able to get it organized how you envisioned.

[@joebarrett9830]

That turned out fantastic. I appreciate you sharing your life with us. Just a late thought, for your projects of painting and rebuilding, you might consider a sandblaster. My dad did the same thing to his old Ford tractor, redid it and tore it completely down. Used a plywood box with plexiglass window and thick rubber gloves mounted to the box as his sand blasting booth for smaller parts. Larger parts he blasted outside. His medium for blasting was walnut shells I believe. So it was safe for the environment (other than paint being removed) and did a fantastic job on all of his parts. The blasting box has been used for several projects after he was done with the tractor. Going on nearly 2 decades and the tractor still looks great and still use the box on occasion. Keep them videos coming, love watching you work on things. I have learned a few things from you as well. Very informative.

[@timmieclark9976]

I put furnature paste wax on the steel tops and they don't rust as fast and the wood glides over it real easy.

[@farmtheland]

Whipe down with W-D40 will slow down the rust

[@l.j.b9863]

Excellent job 👏 👍

[@wileycoyotesr8623]

Happy belated BD. 🎂🎈🥳🎉

[@Charles12509]

I have the EGO car and shop vacuum…it’s a must have…

[@leolarocque-v5v]

Like the video Evans and like your work .

[@stevehoover16]

Awesome job thanks for the video

[@kingkong7617]

Happy belated birthday and you have not lost your woodworking skills, the pipe rack and the countertop looks great!

[@ardenfreyjr.5500]

Even, Happy Birthday sorry I missed it. I enjoy your videos each time they come out. It is always encouraging to see people work toward there goals and even achieve them. Keep up the good work.

[@redhotgamer]

I could smell the saw burning from here 😂

[@jamesezekiel5728]

Looks great! Well thought out!

[@gwhorn635]

Looks great 👍🏻

[@brucecotnoir9135]

i had that exact craftsman tablesaw in 1982 the motors were weak

[@normasimon5634]

Happy Birthday ❤🎉 and many more.

[@redhotgamer]

Great buy Rebecca ❤

[@sheilahead673]

Beautiful work

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video Evan and Rebekah

[@strokendiesel002]

Shop is looking great and it's pretty obvious that while you enjoy making and fixing the metal stuff, woodcrafting is your passion! Thanks for bringing us along and I'm excited for more Allis progress as it was D17 videos I was searching for and watching 3 years ago that led to me finding your channel, and I've been following along weekly ever since! 26:27 I found some simple ladder. Hanger hooks on Amazon last year and they have made it so much easier! I can give you the part number if it's something you're interested in. I was going to attach a picture of it, but it doesn't look like that's allowed.

[@danag6886]

Great looking final product there Evan! Functionality in more than one way is always a win!

[@brianhalse4120]

Next project:- Rack for storage of lumber offcuts 👍

[@kennethstoner53]

Happy Late Birthday a Big49 ... you be at the top of the hill befor long ...i be 71 in June the 28

[@CareyCox-nr4tg]

Looks great! keep working at it

[@douglasbork2089]

Looks great! Enjoy watching you at your ranch getting everything the way you want it!

[@LloydJarvis]

Hey! I need that 48v solar battery for my system if it's just gonna sit there. lol

[@jasontaylor9871]

You could condense the milwaukee chargers down to 1 duel m12 and m18 6 bay charger save some counter space and outlet space, and I'm sure dewalt makes something similar

[@thomassweatland3597]

I came to comment about a cruel joke on Rebecca making her help you build a work bench while shes waiting for bookshelves 😂 seems a few beat me to it already lol. The bench turned out great and always a plus to be organized.

[@AfterTheRains]

So great you can make to measure what is best for your tools, materials and the space available. It also looks good too.

[@harkbelial]

Can't wait to tidy it up so I can mess it up again!!

[@marymigliore3396]

I LOVE YOU BOTH !! 😘😘

[@georgesebastian6306]

Lookin' good! Psst, don't forget the book shelves!

[@charlesperry1051]

The metal storage rack looks great. One safety comment "sorry". Add some hooks at the ladder storage area so you can use some bungee straps to secure the ladders.

[@lawrencelipon8673]

👍👍👍👍👍👌Great job, very functional and looks great turned out excellent!!

[@drewhargrave8029]

I like the narrow metal rack, seems like you can easily see what is in the back!

[@AJ_ghdhejsien]

You could put the ladders somewhere else, and both the welding and plasma carts could slot in that space next to the torchs nice. Looks good though

[@TaTyTa-b9i-sewing]

That shelf you made is gorgeous 😊. You did an awesome job. Boy, Rebecca knows how to give gifts. That's a big leaf blower, and the chainsaw was pretty cool as well. Hope you 2 have a wonderful week ahead. From me, Brenda Shoemaker 😊

[@mariesheppard3750]

Wonderful job Evan, Looks good and the pipes are off the floor, so now you won t trip over any thing, and you can find stuff now ,

[@GaryHagerman-n8l]

Don't know if you heard before , but when you go to paint rims with tires on , use a deck or of cards and push one end into rim. This will give you a few inches space so you don't paint tires. Works great.

[@rancancookcanoy9768]

Evan, happy belated birthday. Enjoy your videos. I see you are refining your woodworking skills in preparation for the book shelves. The metal rack looks really good.

[@DianeLasher-v6z]

You need a headlamp to use that way you can see what you are doing as you are looking at it

[@da1shark]

The workbench looks great! Remember it is a workbench and not a conference room table so the minor blemishes won’t matter. Also, I was watching the latest Neil Koch’s video (Dig-Drive-DIY) and someone sent him 3D printed battery and tool holders for the wall or peg boards. Great if you have a 3D printer (or know someone who has) to make your own mounts to organize your batteries and tools. At first I thought the 3D printers were for gamers, but it looks like it could be a useful machine to have.

[@AdamDeal-KF0PRI]

looking alot better Evan!

[@ourv9603]

Fit your tablesaw with a paddle switch. Position it so when you are done with your cut you punch the paddle with your knee and turn the saw off. They are great! !

[@DrHoyt]

I an VERY impressed

[@sherry2836]

It makes it so much more satisfying to work in an organized space. You must be so pleased with the outcome! Now on to Rebekah's book shelves please.😉

[@kellycollins9266]

My wife got me a charging and storage shelf that is a wall mount. It holds quite a bit and would save you some work bench space.

[@DENNISFONTALBERT]

ADD SAFTY PUT THE BASE PLATES ON BEFORE THEY GET FULL OF DUST ===NICE JOB

[@--_DJ_--]

Rebecka looks as comfortable around the table saw as I do. I dunno why, but those and skilsaws just freak me out, and I use all kinds of tools at least and dangerous, if not more.
