Inside My $90k Woodwork Shop (And How I Created It)

[@DaisyTempest]

For those wondering you can check out the FlexiSpot C7 ergonomic chair at bit.ly/4fJWqUS and use my code ''24BFC7'' to get $50 off on the C7 ergonomic chair ❤

[@rorylong314]

Maybe ask Flexispot for the 4 legged standing desk for the go-bar? Should be more stable than the 2 legged one.

[@TrevorMag62]

I think if we told Daisy that workbenches are typically made from 5,000 year old bog oak, with drawer faces steam-bent into two-dimensional compound radii, and festooned with intricately mitred purfling, she might realise they’re actually quite easy to build.

[@djengines]

A window can make such a difference. Natural light is so important no matter what you are making. Thanks for the tour !

[@jeanlawson9133]

Ambiance important for one's soul

[@MattSwain1]

100% agree. Not having daylight can mess you up in many ways, really not healthy so this is a huge upgrade in my opinion. Congrats Daisy, wishing you every success here

[@TheS4ndm4n]

The standing desk go-bar deck adjustment is absolutely brilliant. I love taking things outside their context and finding new uses and synergies. There's a lovely German word for that, namely "ZWECKENTFREMDUNG", and I'm all for it.

[@ebreevephoto]

I don't play guitar, I don't make wood things, but I am in love with the content you provide it is so uplifting and simple. Cheers on the new space.

[@kemico1272]

As a carpenter who's played guitar for 40 years, I wish you the best with your new workshop and success with your projects, both current and future. Getting to this point is no small feat, and you deserve all the good things that come your way.

[@edemerperson6199]

I'm so glad to see you thriving, Daisy. You are a treasure because your content is inspiring, demonstrating how one can succeed despite personal challenges by using your innate creativity and hard earned skills. Long may you flourish. :)

[@Yooperglide]

You are likely one of the sweetest people on the web. Add in that you also an amazing Luthier. I sit patiently waiting for your next video. So glad you've gotten some windows now. 🎉

[@svlolalouise9763]

I love your little hops ❤❤❤

[@gtrboy77]

I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but the shelf above your standing desk that you are using as a go-bar deck you might want supports on the other side as well. I see that there are angled shelf supports underneath it like you normally would for a shelf, but I might add the same thing on the top side of the shelf to counteract the pressure of the go-bar sticks. I don't know if there is enough pressure to pull out the screws from the wall on the lower supports, but maybe I'm just a little paranoid. Those go-bar sticks can exert a lot of pressure when there are many of them! I love your new shop. Good luck on keeping it organized. :)

[@LogrusUK]

Been watching you work and grow for ages it seems, many years, you are exactly where you deserve to be. Well done. 😊

[@parquevideo]

Such a nice workspace! The big window and the mezzanine are just hilarious!

[@gwbuilder5779]

The throne is NOT HIGH ENOUGH!!!!!😂 Absolutely amazing space, Daisy!👌 Watching you grow is a wonderful experience and so happy to see you flourishing. You look so happy in your new place! 🎉🎉🎉YAY!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@Trippy72Spore]

13:26 Loved the plant! My Nana gave me a plant like that and it spread around my whole room, but after about a decade it eventually died. I miss that plant, hope you keep yours alive!

[@captbuscemi]

Such an achievement to have grown your business and your audience in the way you have, as always thanks for your honesty and humour. Electric desk as go bar deck - yes! Getting glue and dust on the pristine freakin electric desk - hell no!!

[@milt-15x]

Congrats on the new workshop, Daisy. It looks great; love the big window. It's nice to see your excitement and pleasure with the new space and with what you have accomplished. Best wishes for your continued success.

[@fretmelter5150]

Very inspiring. Congratulations on your new workshop and your amazing skills. 🎸

[@j.t.2722]

I am personally very happy that you are able to attain such an important work space. Your creativity is inspiring and essential to guitar players such as myself. Your build quality is second to none and your videos are inspiring to all. Stay real and never give up on your dreams.

[@studiolezard]

Glad to have found you. You were mentioned in Matt's recent video. I'm not a luthier, but I do play guitar and have a TINY woodworking shop in the basement.

[@BrendanIhmig]

Congratulations on the upgrade - enjoy the natural light and added space.

[@michaelbishop.]

Difficult to come up with new ideas for videos,but moving workshops is a great plan. No more than twice a year, otherwise it’ll be too obvious.🥳

[@sapelesteve]

Now that's a terrific work shop Daisy! Keep living your dream and making incredible guitars! 👍👍🎸🎸💖💖

[@rickvangunten4800]

Always nice to see a little "Out of the Box" thinking. Standing Desk pressure clamp......Have to love it! ❤👍

[@chrisgunn121]

Looks like a beautiful space Daisy, dead chuffed you have a window to the outside world, oh and the standing desk idea, pure genius!!!

[@rickfinsta2951]

Thanks for sharing this with aspiring craftsmen. I would add one thing; start your business organization NOW. That is to say, create the legal entity immediately. Here in the States, for instance, if you have an LLC that is 5-10 years old, access to business loans is much easier than if you are a startup. You don't even have to do anything under your organization, it just has to exists. That is a huge help for getting equipment on your floor. I own/operate a metalworking CNC manufacturing facility (only about 3000sq. ft.) and have around $800k USD of equipment on my floor in less than five years of operation which I could not do without access to the loans for established businesses. Hope that helps someone.

[@YegresAL]

Oh, there's 99.9K already)))) Looking forward to 100K video!! I need to say that its not only skill stacking, but tools-stacking as well. I started guitar making as a hobby like 3 years ago - but already with no huge purchasing I have more than I can fit in the available space. Still live in the communal workshop tho - but starting my own with no guaranteed customers is to scare for me now.

[@NotMyName-q2v]

You are simply wonderful, You make the world better in so many ways, Thank You...

Beautiful space. Well done Daisy.

[@brianhadley527]

Interesting. Nicely demonstrates her perseverance and shows her passion.

[@kevinmeachem2138]

Cheers on the new, brighter space; natural light des so much for one’s spirits. Aways look forward to your videos.

[@donnarose4289]

Very nice sunlit shop and location! You will be so inspired!

[@SevdahGuitars]

Thank you, dear Daisy. Your story is always fresh and inspirational. I hope to see many people follow your lead, stacking their skills and showing up here and everywhere they can to make their small but powerful voices be heard. You certainly do that, and I am sure many people are grateful to you for that! I certainly am. Cheers from Bosnia!

[@richardbrobeck2384]

If I added up what it would cost to replace my tools it would be $$$ too. I think you really are making a good name for yourself and do amazing work !!

[@robertr4193]

The natural lighting is a real plus not only for making sure the colors you are going for when designing the guitars you build but also for emotional well being.

[@marcelizzi]

Daisy, I’ve been in love with your work ever since I started watching a few months ago. It’s always such a joy to see your content! I’m especially happy to see how much brighter and more at peace you seem lately-it’s inspiring to see how far you’ve come since sharing your struggles. You’ve grown so much, and it’s beautiful to witness. You truly have such a kind and genuine spirit, and the world could use more people like you. Thank you for sharing not just your incredible work but also your journey with us. Wishing you all the happiness-you deserve it!

[@krystian111213]

Thanks for all the tips and congratulations on your new workshop!

[@marklillywhite2759]

got this vid served up to me on my recommended feed. Very glad i chose to watch it, I love your sense of humour and down to earth personality!

[@billschmitzer9159]

I’m happy for your new workshop with windows. Not only are you a skilled wonderful guitar maker but also a pleasant and funny young lady.

[@richardkelleher1711]

Amazing space, I hope it serves you well. And, a place to make tea! What more could one want. 🙂

[@RandomUsername34]

I built my first guitar 2 years ago. Electric Les Paul model with Wengé top and back. I have built several more since and would love to do this as a full time job. I just don't see it happening... seems sureal... Bills have to be payed, children have to be fed.... Honestly... I'm slightly jealous of your accomplishments and how far you have brought your business. Beautiful stuff!

[@imccrae]

So proud of everything you've achieved. Loving the new workshop space. Sending love from our family to you.

[@tomrainsford9247]

bright future for you can't wait to see what's in store. I get inspired to tidy my space from seeing how well organised your shop is

[@jamescopeland5358]

Great video Daisy I love the shop

[@ChrisJMoreno]

Beats the hell out of my shop. Happy building!

[@sneakerpharm]

love this! i remember subscribing when you moved into your first space and it was really inspiring. To see the development into a bigger space is awesome.

Well done. Thoroughly enjoy these videos. Very personal and informing.

[@artofnoise5013]

You’re a true craftsperson. Very happy for you with the new space. Can’t wait to see the incredible instruments that you’ll produce here.

[@stuartdrakley2106]

Hey Daisy, you're really articulate, I would never have known you've suffered from "nervous disorders" however, congratulations on yet again upping sticks into a far superior workshop. Keep going girl you will succeed, I can tell. Stu from Lancashire

[@tom314]

The window makes such a big difference, I've always struggled when I've been stuck away from natural light for long periods. Also I see you've broken 100K subs, well done :)

[@craigstrickland1572]

Congrats on the new digs. Hope this allows you to maintain your creative brilliance.

[@DavidMorley]

I have a recording studio that has moved countless times. My main goal now is WINDOWS! I've been in basements and small rooms and garages and big rooms. Now it's in a Barn which is great BUT only skylights. Windows are so critical for mental well being and no windows is the opposite of inspiring. So I get it! Congrats.

[@richardbrobeck2384]

Love all the natural light from the windows !!

[@johnapppel64]

That's a fantastic space, and you should indeed feel proud for having earned it! And as a furniture maker who looks at lutherie as freaking magic, I'll just say different strokes for different folks. :) I'm actually in the final stages of building my dream woodworking shop in my back yard, so feeling some additional kinship with you. Can't wait to see what beautiful work you share with us next!

[@MichaelBuilds]

I can't tell you how much I loved everything about this video hehe. I was having a rough day and you totally lifted my spirits with this one 😊 Thank you

[@funkyfender1]

Oh that’s so nice… sooo jealous… knocks the socks off my garage space… love all your kit too… I’m going to make a fret block now!

[@davidwilliams1060]

Most of us would have filled the walls with cabinets or shelving. The pictures, plants and mirror make it a real living space. The desk is reasonably priced and using it for extra duty bending is genius. Thanks.

[@timpanda3780]

Congratulations Daisy; it’s great that you have a new workshop place that’s light n airy AND with a window….even better. I’m looking forward to what will be coming along from you over the weeks and months ahead!

[@jufferson2121]

Again, a thoroughly enjoyable video! You are very skilled and have the personality to match. There’s no doubt you are/will be one of the top luthiers around! I too am a big fan of Matt’s. Although I was a little concerned when he said “the world’s gone mad” and said he was quitting…. I am an old woodworker and look forward to woodworking videos presented by talented people and you are one of my faves! Thank you and keep on building beautiful instruments!

[@thearchibaldtuttle]

Stunning workshop and location!

[@timothymulholland7905]

All the best!

[@markallen4123]

I love the new space! Thanks for sharing! I am on a quest to improve my basement workshop in Columbus, Ohio. I cut a hole in the cinder block last year and added a large window which makes all the difference like your shop. I am following your lead creating a tool wall so I can find my tools when I need them. Happy woodworking!

[@rjsieder]

What a great new space! There's a lot of echo, so I think I'd add a couple of acoustic panels on the walls somewhere to absorb a bit of that. But it is bright and cheerful and you've organized it so it fits your workflow. I think you might be surprised about building furniture and how well you would do. I've built some furniture and feel relatively confident in doing so, but wouldn't have any idea where to start on a musical instrument, but I recognize that a lot of the steps and processes are the same. You know how to use the tools, which is half the battle. Building a workbench might be a bit of an ask for a first project, but I'm sure you could build something a little less demanding quite satisfactorily. Congrats on 100k! Keep up the good work!

[@NickleRock]

Awesome! Congratulations!! Now I know why we haven't seen a new video in some time, but the wait was worth it.

[@tjkeeling]

congrats on your new work home....

[@andrewsmith3121]

Congrats on the new space and also on passing 100K subscribers!!! Well deserved on both fronts!

[@KenIn_NH]

Huge congrats on the newest space! 🎉👏👏👏 And thank you for the tour and most of all for "How I got here" segment. That is incredibly inspirational. KEEP GOING! You're doing amazing!

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

Congratulations! "Movin on up!"

[@metronyc2855]

Thanks Daisy Tempest. Awesome video. You and your shop seem to be in true harmony!

[@1man1guitarletsgo]

Nice workshop! I have a former cowshed, which is a nice big space, with rooflights rather than proper windows. I repainted the inside with some leftover magnolia masonry paint, and immediately regretted it. The lighting changed completely, and I had to buy a couple of cans of white to correct the mistake. Like clamps, you can't have too much white light! I don't make guitars, sticking to more general DIY projects. One tool that I strongly recommend is a scroll saw: mine was bought with a view to making arty/crafty items, but it's so versatile and useful that it gets used on pretty much every DIY project.

[@robertsternlieb5532]

thank you for the tour and the words of wisdom at the end. so happy you have windows!!!

[@deeray2957]

Congratulations on the new workshop! You just recently showed up on my feed. Myself and most of my family are musicians so it was great fun watching your video from I believe 2 years ago of you making the "$36,000" guitar. My wife, myself and two of my sons thoroughly enjoyed your video and have since subscribed to your channel. Thank you for your content!

[@shiznitmufu]

I think the trade needs you as much as you need it. Your determination in the face of adversity is joy to behold.. @ 55 years of age and a lifetime guitar enthusiast/owner/player,I also believe that,in any trade or hobby,in each generation,ONE true talent comes along. YOU ARE THAT TALENT!!! I'm excited to see you continue to experiment as you sharpen your skills and grow your business! A much needed ray of light in a rather ominous environment!!🧡

[@andrea22213]

I wish you good fortune in your new workshop. Love your laconic delivery, btw.

[@hanserikkratholmrasmussen6623]

Daylight is important. I´m so glad you got this new place. Unfortunately your guitars are out of my financial reach, but I enjoy watching people who know their stuff. You are a very skilled person. 😊

[@thierrymatter3124]

I play guitar and I make wood things. I discover your channel today and your workshop in London 👍. So for me, it’s not a déjà vu Tour, as you said. The 3 easiest words to understand for a French . A one more suscriber, bravo for the 100k.

Daisy, you are wonderful. Thanks for this video. I wish you much success and many good guitars in your new location.

[@mattinkel7342]

Congratulations on the new workshop! .. The high ceiling and natural light is really nice .. I spent a few years in a windowless london basement workshop as a modelmaker ..The last straw was when after a very heavy down pour the sump pump failed and I came into work to find all the equipment and benches standing in a good 300mm of very nasty "soil water" :( Think I've rewatched all your videos this past few days as i'm doing a sculpting job and its great inspiring content Enjoy your new space, looking forward to the new project. (As to the desk Go bar deck.. it should be perfectly okay ..Their is probably a spec for the weight load desk can lift , id assume geared powered leadscrews on the lift mech and you arent using a huge amount of pressure )

Thank you for sharing your process with the world. Yes you are that good.
