DroneBot Workshop Tour - Welcome to the Workshop!

[@TediumGenius]

I'm late for the tour! I just wanted to tell you again- of all the hundreds of channels I regularly watch, you rank WAY at the top, easily one of the best 5, and certainly top 3 when it comes to instructional videographers!! Thanks for all your hard work!!!

[@diegobarahona7244]

I am studying electronic engineering and electrical mechanical engineering and I have just started to build my own workshop, this video is amazing and that workshop is very beautiful, now I feel very inspired, it has a new subscriber.

[@austinbasso2694]

Thankyou for sharing your expertise. I just watched your egloo car construction.....You made it see easy......

[@mike_van_in]

Bill!! This was ... SUPERB! I loved your descriptions, especially the anecdotes about the square peg-board and the roll of anti-static foam. This workshop is a joy to behold. Obviously, your colour matching with available tools is profoundly impressive. (This parenthetical note is NOT a criticism - but a little observation for other viewers who were struck by hearing "workshop" seemingly every six seconds in the first two minutes: When I noticed that, I restarted the video, typed "0+1" on my calculator and pressed "=" every time I heard the word. I'm not sure that I heard every utterance of the word, while concentrating on the content, but my count was 46 by the end! Gotta love Bill!)

[@michaels3003]

LOL!

[@saeedsobhani4213]

It’s most amazing thing, building a workshop all by yourself.

[@milanfixer]

You were much more relaxed in your old video. That's not such a bad thing.

[@greyhnd001]

Yea pegboard is awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@JoseFernandez-yz1sf]

Excellent video, thanks for sharing.

[@ErnestLingerfelt]

thankyou i just spent 30 min drop jaw over your workshop im so jealous

[@dericktharp5796]

You obviously put a lot of thought into this work shop!

[@Jvavolerpareil]

Great works! Very inspiring setup, but I just Can't afford to rent an apartment large enough to build even a modest workshop. But I make projects anyway. I use my living room and take out from the closet just what I need at a time. Not very convenient but it does the job. I watched at least 10 of your very well made tutorials. Not only they are excellent and very easy to follow, but your vedeos are also edited in a very professional way! Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

[@daveb7999]

Nice shop! Mine will never be so aesthetically pleasing, but you've given us some great ideas. Thanks for sharing how you put it all together, it's looks great! I bet it's a real pleasure to work there.

[@qitechde]

What a Workshop! Great work!

[@MM-tp2fq]

That's really nice ... I imagine all the passion you have put into it! Remind me when I built my first shed made up with insulation sandwich panels. Unfortunately when I sold the house...so goes the shed.

[@gabiold]

Probably this is the first video of your's I watched. I have to say I am very impressed by your workshop. You did it by almost the same key concepts as I am currently developing mine (like separating mech and lab areas, etc). Clever ideas and the attentiom to detail in everything, especially in the color control is awesome! Needless to say, I love blue. 😉 I like the ton of drawer boxes too! You said you drill only PCBs, however my idea would be to make some curtain or some kind of movable panels around the drill press, so the chips won't fly everywhere, inside things, in the PSU, the tablet, etc. But I drill a lot of metals and various plastics, many times with coolant, so the amount of mess without a curtain is beyond crazy here. Even if you just drill PCBs, it would marginally lower the amount of dust everywhere. BTW, I also did the ceiling myself, it is certainly possible to do alone with some forethought, and I still finished faster than when I would have to beg to somebody to come help.

[@nikolatotev]

My "workshop" is the same room I sleep in, but since this is the only room I can work in, I'm thinking of using some of the things from this video to upgrade my current setup. Great video!

[@jamesdemaio5234]

I am totally impressed with your self-taught skills and attention to detail. I know how much hard work went into this project, and you should be proud of what you have accomplished. This has inspired me to clean up and organize my workspace, and I thank you for the kick in the pants.

[@GorkemYildirim]

Well done. Looks great and very professional.

[@geef0813]

I really enjoyed this one. I’ve always loved your shop in the videos. I’m about to make an even smaller workshop inside a storage area. And it’s gotta hold a 3D printer as well as my arduino stuff. This is a great inspiration.

[@armanfarzin6989]

Wow .

[@twlson49]

nice job

[@habotssar8429]

Amazing lab, congratulations!!

[@OmarElmasry1]

This a really nice workshop 👍 Amazing video

[@cupcakecups9112]

awesome! you do good work!

Blue.

[@sagarshrestha3717]

please make a video for drone ardupilot

[@christophermccarty1867]

Where did you get the workbench material?

[@mtalhakhalid1679]

Before this video i thought its a big room

[@sanjaynahata3374]

Dear sir I am looking for human presence detector humans can be stationary or moving came across 2 sensor one as omron d6t mems thermal sensor and other as AMG8833 IR 8x8 Thermal Imager Array Temperature Sensor I would like to request you to make videos on these 2 to make human presence through arduino or esp8266

[@kevinfinkbeiner5063]

You need to sell your anti static material as "Own a piece of DroneBot Workshop". Get some of you cost back.

[@jonathangriffin9111]

I'll take 10 ft

[@TheZrpilot]

Awesome! Love your videos! I am inspired to have a similar workshop. What would you do differently? if you had to do it again?

[@Dronebotworkshop]

I'm glad you're inspired Max, it makes it all worthwhile to hear that. As for "if I could do it again" it depends upon how much space I had. If I built it again in a similar sized room there really isn't much I would change. But if I had a larger area I would have tried to get my scope and test equipment onto the "electronics workbench". I had actually hoped to do that, one thing that I didn't point out was another surface-mount AC outlet that I put on the far left side of that workbench for plugging in test equipment. I also shortened a standard AC cord for use with the scope, and I do use that arrangement wghen I drag the scope to the workbench. Back in the 80's when I worked as a technician I had a scope right on the workbench, alomng with a few meters. It was nice to always have it handy.

[@Happymz]

Did you do it

[@zfrenchy1716]

Nice shop, look like your videos, neat and organized.

[@JohanDegraeveAanscharius]

From Belgium: The fact that you are so humble and calm and resilient and edited your videos so perfectly well, makes me want to give you this message: I have a workshop 1 times bigger but bigger is not better. I split up into, electrics, electronics, woodworking and metal working. Will send you some photos when it is done (when people are on Mars?). You INSPIRED me!!!

[@stuartg40]

Jealous. I don't have the finances at present to construct anything similar, which is a shame because such a well organised space would be excellent for productivity.

[@northshorepx]

I agree it's pretty impressive eh? But if I could pass on one piece of advice is that the having a home for things is really important. Every time I force myself to give things a home, everything becomes so much easier to use and put away.

[@rm709]

You did an amazing job!!! The “secret” video put a huge smile on my face- you seem like a very genuine and caring man, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I’ve learned so much from finding your channel a short time ago and you’ve inspired me to organize my work area and get into more projects!

[@mikeoliver3254]

I really like your little workshop. A small well organized space can make working on projects much easier, when everything is close at hand it saves time and makes clean up very easy.

[@tinkmarshino]

Yes sir Bill you are a neet fellow.. you are also a neat fellow.. I love your little workshop. You and my wife must be somehow related.. she had me build her a little office.. She has put enough things in her office to fill a two bedroom house.. she is so organized and neat I often kid her about the 8 square inches of space she has left in there.. It is like being in a small radio room in one of the old diesel subs like the bonefish or something.. Oh YEAH! what a scruffy looking fellow.. I was a carpenter for 30 years and I really like to watch talented people building for the first time.. You can build my friend.. or should I say billed.. oh I crack myself up...thanks so much for the share Bill and please carry on..

[@raym9691]

I really like the idea of having built in basic power supplies built into the work bench when I redo my lab I plan to borrow your idea along with your built in audio amp great ideas and video!

[@paparoysworkshop]

31:00 This is the anti static material I have left over... (backs up a truck). That made me chuckle.

[@REDACT3D]

gotta admire that commitment to the blue! - keep up the great work bud!

[@Amir-kz6yq]

I really love your workshop, well organized. The best thing with your workshop is the built-in jacks and sockets.

[@jimbo149]

That was great Bill, you have every right to be proud of your workshop. Many great ideas for storage and work areas. I was totally captivated for the whole 36 min.

[@emilkjellner8522]

30:55 You got me laughing so hard. Thank you, I wish you a nice day!

[@anonymous.youtuber]

Thank you for sharing the experience ! Your workshop looks fabulous and also, I’m glad I’m not the only one removing the price tag of a 2 by 4.

[@JK-lq4mt]

God bless you what an interesting video:)

[@juliannesermon8057]

Looking at all sorts of electronics workshop tour videos at the moment, yours is the most inspiring build so far :-)

[@LisaMFida]

Love your workshop! And your channel. I'm learning lots!

[@iliapopovich]

Hi ,can I ask you what is your engineering degree exactly ?Is it more concentrated to digital or radio electronics? Thanks.

[@williamb3323]

Coming from a background of 5s, and engineering, I must say, congratulations!. You nailed it! Very efficient work area. Thanks for the tour. I am happy to have found this channel, I have a lot to learn.

[@chadhanson3431]

I am building my own work area and try to adopt the best ideas I see in other workshops. Love your space.

[@northshorepx]

Bill what a really great insight. Thank you for explaining how this marvel came about. May I ask one further question please? Can you tell me more about the history of the Blue theme you have chosen please? I love the coordination and attention to detail that you have as that is a most impressive thing I get from your work. Once again thank you for such a great channel!

[@luizeduardoinsaurralde4011]

I guess he got inspired by Canadian Tire's MasterCraft brand's color theme (blue and black) 🙂

[@tfmccloud]

Very inspiring. Thanks so much for sharing your experience with building such a well thought out workshop.

[@frenettaoneal2482]

No joke. My son watches your channel. Thanks for being a good influence.

[@jamesrademacher7873]

Your workshop is awesome and your videos are well made and I admire your intelligence. You're an inspiration to me and I appreciate your content. Thank you.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Drywall? UGH - I was in my early thirties and complained I was TOO OLD FOR DRYWALL. Oh, to go back those forty years. You are to be commended on the project's shear ENERGY, plus the design, layout, construction, finish work and THIS video. All so good! Thank you for sharing...

[@Dronebotworkshop]

I was 56 when I built the workshop, about to turn 60 this year. And although I vowed never to drywall again (the dust is a killer) I'm now thinking of drywalling the one remaining area in my basement that isn't finished yet. Hopefully I'll talk myself out of the idea! So glad you enjoyed the video.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

YES, @@Dronebotworkshop please keep up your good works - and keep us posted on the drywall episodes

[@dip8]

what are the parts cabinets used, would love to know that

[@shmolyneaux]

Thanks for the tour! I'm planning out my own workbench in a small space and this provided good inspiration!

[@Mark-m9z4q]

Nice shop, well thought out. I really liked your video on the Op-Amps...very helpful. God Bless.

Jesus Christ... How did that - sorry - garbage turned in this masterpiece of a workshop...? I'm positively aghast with your improvement!

[@kristian4243]

If you're ever in doubt, this is really cool! I'm hoping I will have something similar one day 😊

[@azyfloof]

I dunno, that scruffy character looked kinda cool to me! :D What a great episode, Bill! It was fun to see a before and after :) Such a huge difference! very clean very sleek :)

[@neptune4142]

.....I would have made cupboards behind the "Peg Board" to store books or manuals maybe more component boxes for screws and nylon nuts and bolt mounting kits..... as for the other comments a good job thanks for the video....

[@namero999]

:) thanks for this video, it's cool to get to know a bit more about you and the workshop! You are part of our homes with your amazing educational videos. Thanks brother!

[@ramirosuarez9537]

Amazing, Congrats! Hope I manage to get my workshop some similar to this one. Truly inspirational.

[@lodesmets9815]

Great video, and great workshop (on video it looks a bit bigger). But i have some questions/remarks: - I noticed there is no window, do you have air circulation? Because of the soldering? - isn’t the cloth floor a hell to clean/ vacuum? When you are drilling stuff flies everywhere

[@normcaissie5598]

You need a 3D printer. I have a lot of what you have only unorganized.

[@martincerveny2284]

Indeed, I build one for my workshop myself and want to buy another one (because the first is little bit big so I chosen Prusa Mini*). *The only thing is they have very long shipping times and now even longer because of that Chinese flu :-(

[@sandalya2]

This video is absolutely amazing! Thanks a bunch for sharing this with us!

[@Ucisneros]

Great shop Sir!! I’m 36 and I seem to have turned into a Jack of all trades, amateur level. 😂 I’ve been watching many shop tours spanning from wood working, mechanic, audio, and electronics. I will sure take some pointers from you to apply to the electrical corner of my garage shop. Thank you.

[@federicos9821]

Hi, awesome videos! Thanks for showing us your workshop. Any chance you could provide us more information on your wall plates? (Component brands, diagrams, etc) im really interested on getting that setup! Again thanks! Keep it up.

[@collinbetten9377]

How did you educate yourself on all this? College degree?

[@caffeinatedinsanity2324]

Please don't bring politics in a video like this... It's just not what we're here for. We're here for sharing projects, tips and elsewhat.

[@qzorn4440]

How come there are not more Orange Pi5 Drone Projects, instead of all these Raspberry Pi videos? The world has enough RPi4 DIY videos. Time for Orange Pi5 GPU. 😎 Thank you.

[@idiyed]

great video uncle.. will try to update my workshop also

[@zorabixun]

I like the way, when on the video about AC devices controlled, you were talking many times about safety with high voltage .... on this video i can see your electric drill standing up high, and on the table's edge under it, there is mounted an electric extension bar .... -- when you drilling, maybe small metal particles dropping down .... -- sometimes we need to cool down the drill bit with oily water splashing widely .... It is not any personal, only my reflection .... Thank you for so many videos full of informations, practical experience you have, thank you, i am learning so much from you. I would like to ask you, is it possible to sometimes make a video of Q/A ? .... when we have some questions, from our comments, something more specific to explain ?? It would be very interesting, and you could say more about some problems .... I just started my journey through the Ros Pi, really i am feeling lost what to buy first, there is so many different boards, clones, how to start and plan the projects, how to program these devices, some of them has installed OS, another maybe not but uploaded program to the microcontroller .... Many other KZbinrs say different stories, maybe from their experience, but for example one says Pico is lovely, another one says Pico is nothing special because ESP32 is super :-)) I am sure there are other problems to express any opinion, but for new people it is not easy to make choice what to do in the first months .... I am really very happy that i have subscribed your channel and always i watch your videos very carefully .... Thx

[@nevillecreativitymentor]

Fantastic video ... Ii am actually in the process of designing a proper Design Studio fo my statup company (upcoming) ... its about Autonomous Vehicles ... like Drones and smalll UGV and waterr vehicles

[@acadman4322]

Yes! I have done lots of ceiling sheetrock work - by myself, too. I built homes for a living for a few years. I always thought it was interesting how on snow days, I was the only one capable of getting to the job site. Well, when your family needs money to live, you just do it! I made several innovative jigs to help me get the rock into place and braced up flat and positioned and soon, one screw at a time, it was up. Oh, well. I started serious working life in a sign shop as a sign mechanic, graduated to the electrician, then to welder, then to fabricator, then to sheet metal shop, helper, then foreman- I was on my way to being a true artisan. I ended up as a field supervisor, crane operator and sign erector. Have you ever walked around on top of a 120' tall, lighted highway sign? Some fun and great views. I quit one day and started my own construction business- and finally retired some years later. Yet, I was never disciplined enough or patient enough to keep a well-organized shop, as you have created and maintained. I really, really respect that. I could not tell you how many shops I have neatly organized with high hopes of efficiency and neatness and as soon as the first jobs came in, it all turned into Hell's messiest shops. It takes a very dedicated person to end a 14 hour day and still have enough energy to put everything back to order, sweep up and throw away the scrap. I ruined my best intentions by thinking I needed to keep the slightest leftovers _ "Hmm...I Might need that someday!". I think the best rule anyone could follow is to get rid of anything that is not used or used up at least once a month. Anyway, your mental discipline shows up in both your shop and your most excellent teaching. God bless you, Bill- You are truly an inspiration.

[@saeedsobhani1981]

Amazing man, amazing job, amazing courses. Doing such things alone means a lot. Thanks

[@mtalhakhalid1679]

Wonderful work, unfortunately, my workshop its not proper like your all stuff is shoved in 3 4 drawers ahahaha but your videos are inspiring love watching your videos and it's great help to learn a lot from here as well keep up the good work.

[@minkorrh]

Good thing you did that back in 2015. If you'd have done it in 2021 you would've had to remortgage the house for the lumber. Awesome job btw. I dream of being that organized.

[@revealingfacts4all]

Could we learn/hear more about you? Is this your only job or do you work for a company and youtube is your hobby or 2nd income source? Where do you live? Judging by AC outlets, you're in the US somewhere? Anyway, loved this video and seeing the behind the scenes. I would enjoy a basement and house layout tour myself....

[@firojbakshshi2196]

I love you workshop, reminds me my workshop in India, but that was not too tidy but have all the tools, but now I came to UK to do Double MS in AI with Robotics, and soon will make LAB again. Well Thanks for all you knowledge.

[@pianotunesbymichael3168]

Hello, Could you make another video like this, showing the stuff in the drawers above your electronics workbench, please? I would really love to see what and how many components you have and buy myself those components...

[@fullwaverecked]

Where did you find your parts drawers? Very nice lab. I'm in a small apt and it takes me a lot of thought about stuffing a lot of gear into a small space. Cheers!

[@datsunrotten9477]

and where did you say you keep the dismembered women ? All stupid humor aside I love your shop flow..I love what you're doing for KZbin. good material for binge watching.

[@chinmayvmenon3761]

How much did this workshop transformation cost you? Did you buy all this equipment newly or did you have them earlier with you? Inspirational Video. Thanks a lot

[@KenPaisley]

Sell some of that foam by the foot. Nobody wants a roll that big! Getting your work space organized is a good thing, but sometimes easier said than done. Who are the 39 people who dislike this and what's wrong with them?

[@chriscosby2459]

Great video -- I definitely got some ideas. I am wanting to move my electronics lab from a desk in the study to a utility room. My space is limited, plus I reload ammo in the same room, along with the washer and dryer.

[@DailyCakeSlice]

I feel like you're definitely the cool uncle in the family lol

[@GuillermoGuzman-nm8nb]

Thank you sir for showcasing your workshop. i'm just wondering what kind of workshop tesla had.

[@clubk3297]

sueño con tener un taller asi!!! NO VENGAN A VIVIR A ARGENTINA!! REPITO NO VENGAN A VIVIR A ARGENTINA!!!

[@micr0chap]

A place for everything and everything in its place. But how do you keep it all spotlessly clean and dust-free?

[@jainamprajapati8105]

And also a video on DIY CNC PLOTTER using arduino, GRBL SHIELD..and programming it thx

[@lossless4129]

Simply incredible. Absolutely wonderful, I’m beyond impressed!

[@steventhehistorian]

I think you could probably cut up that anti-static material into hobby-sized bits and sell it on amazon/ebay. You could fill that gap in the market!

[@guruvaraja]

Good naration of the electronics projects with hands-on experience .very helpful for me for the projects to build easily without searching sites for information

[@sistronico]

Excelent work Bill, - - Muy Bonito!!! , Greetings from México.

[@Leroys_Stuff]

Love the extra footage watching how and why the shop is pretty cool.

[@friendryan]

where did you get your 33 part cabinets. what is the brand please. love your workshop and your amazing content.

[@AngryRamboShow]

I live in poverty, on UBI with a walk in closet sized SRO. But I appreciate you sharing your wisdom and knowledge with us plebs.

[@area49g12]

No mention of the white and blue color scheme, very cool, kudos ;-)

[@mrafayshams3089]

Approximately what are the dimensions of this workshop? So Inspiring by the way!!
