[@Jay2525Jay]

Jay, I'm so happy for you to have a completed new shop. Thank you for taking us on this journey with you. Now on to the build videos. Thanks again.

[@chrisgriego549]

Congratulations. When I met you in Frisco you were just starting this move it is so good to see someone I have followed for years to progress and grow like you have. Looking forward to many more great projects.

[@mikes1345]

I love the way your office is setup. That shop only needs one more thing. A hammock!!

[@jajablonsky]

Beautiful shop and well planned out. This should be your final place as you have all the space you'll ever need for your business. Thanks for sharing and providing all your research with all of us on KZbin.

[@pinkponyofprey1965]

Woohoo! Somebody who is just beaming of positive energy sharing a bingo moment! We need more of that in this world! :D

[@paulkelly1702]

Bravo to you Jay. Wonderful shop, well thought out and executed. You were one of the first sites I subbed to long ago. And a future happy birthday to the little one :)

[@dabluox]

paul kelly me too!

[@islackalot9277]

l've been a fan for years. It's great to see your evolution in the craft. Stay humble, it keeps us watching. I've stopped viewing many others because their attitudes have changed with their growth. Thanks Again!!

[@spencerjw]

Dream Shop! My wife and I are currently looking to move again (just got here a year ago) now that our jobs are stable and we know our new area better. But not being forced to move RIGHT NOW makes it a lot easier to find the house we really want. Something with a shop like you have would be a dream come true but I'd be happy with something half that size. Well done, love these shop series of videos!

[@davidgagnon2849]

Great to see you so pleased with your new space. From everything I'm seeing, it will serve you well for years and it will be a very comfortable environment to work in! Congrats Jay!

[@myxology]

Just went through the cost breakdown on your site, and I've just got to say that I think it's very cool how smart you are about running your business. I see many business people that could use some training from you about staying out of debt. Well, and on the personal side as well. Not that you need to hear it from me, but I think you should be really proud of yourself and I hope that others are as inspired by your story as I am. Congratulations, Jay!

[@robertbankhead8661]

Man, the shop, lighting, AC & heat, insulation, supersized work area. You rock KZbin with all the upsizing and doing it right. Surely you put in some speakers, I just can't work without some good music playing. Kudo's on the new shop, excellent job!

[@RexusKing]

14:49 You slightly guilty smile gave me a good chuckle!

[@JimG31547]

congratulations of getting that new shop up and ready to make some new projects. It looks great and sure it is a pleasure to work in. Now for a lot of new content.

[@joegrimes6485]

Congrats on finishing up the new shop . Keep after the filters on your units .

[@Gehlleny]

CONGRATULATIONS 🎊🍾. I have enjoyed following the progress of your shop set up! But I am looking forward to seeing projects being cranked out!!! Again, congratulations and God Bless you and your beautiful family!!!

[@FilamentFriday]

Awesome to watch it come alive. Thanks for sharing the cost.

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

I have a Mitsubishi mini split 18,000 BTU system in my 22’ x 22’ shop. Fully insulated ceiling and walls and an insulated 16’ garage door with only a R6 rating. I’m just south of Houston where it is humid all the time. The system cost me $3400 installed and it runs 24/7. I built a “plenum” to sit on top of the air handler in which I have a 20x25 furnace filter. 1) this system keeps my shop cool and dry, 2) the plenum keeps the coils clean, 3) since it runs all the time, the air quality in the shop is really great. Even if I open the garage door to bring in lumber, the system recovers in only a few minutes. An added benefit is how quiet the outside compressor is, and it sits next to our patio, and it’s nearly silent. I highly recommend this system if you want to keep your tools rust free and work in comfort.

[@chrisherringshaw3588]

Jay - sincere congrats on the new shop, you deserve it. Amazingly well planned out, and definitely s space to last a career. Thank you for sharing!

[@chrisherringshaw3588]

And thanks for getting the flags up. Harper Woods in da house!

[@BruceAUlrich]

They're not loud at all running wide open! That's amazing!

[@joeblock62]

Hey Jay... you've come a long ways since that first video in 2012. Thanks for sharing the ride.

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

I can't express the happiness I feel for your new shop , it will be amazing . Happy for you

[@wb_finewoodworking]

It sounds great Jay. Thanks for the information on the mini-split. My shop/garage building is 24x40 with 8’ insulated ceilings. We park two vehicles in the garage half so my shop is relegated to half the building. I think my AC contractor is planning on a 24,000 btu unit. Based on his estimate and the rate we’re saving for it I should be ready for it to be installed by February. Since I’m in San Diego about twelve miles from the ocean summers here are not as brutal as they are where you live but we do get a few nights of freezing temperatures each winter. Like you, I’m looking forward to finally having a climate controlled shop to work in. Enjoy your new shop. I’m looking forward to seeing what you make in it.

[@pedalman4595]

I am really happy for you and your family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see some beautiful projects!!!!!!!!!!.

[@nevermindthebull0cks]

I put a mini split in my shop with 1" of closed cell foam all over. Works awesome. It has the added benefit of sealing up air leaks and making the building quieter in the rain or hail. I had the backside of my garage doors spray foamed as well ( they came uninsulated )

[@Patricksworkshop]

the smile on your face says it all!! I am truly excited and happy for you, and I know all the hard work u put in to get to where u r now congrats brother the shop looks amazing u outdid urself and I look forward to seeing new projects in the future

[@garrysmythe]

I have watched you from being the young man in the garage Jay.Like your business ,you have also grown in stature. I have been in business over 40 years here in the Uk, and at 66 i am now enjoying the fruits of my labour.The 22k this has cost you will hopefully last at least 10 years before further investment.that then works out just about 2000 dollars per year, or 40 dollars per week.That is a very small price to pay for your health, comfort and happiness in your work environment, so you made a good choice, and long may you continue.I hope to be watching your videos for a good few years yet, and would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your family, the very best of health. From Garry in the Uk

[@RobinLewisMakes]

Here in Australia it's not cost effective to have 1 compressor for multiple splits, so all the manufacturers suggest having a 1 to 1, multiple times. I love the way they do it in the States, it's so much tidier to have 1 compressor doing an entire house. I have 3 around my place so far, and I'll be getting a fourth this summer... I now have a wall of compressors and boy am I lucky i can hide them under my house!

[@zafarsyed6437]

Congratulations on finally having a finished look/feel so you can get back to working- looking forward to the builds. I DO HOWEVER, have to recommend that you get French doors (as suggested by others) or side rolling doors- cause you never know when you're going to have a very tall (and/or wide) project and it's a pain to tilt or lay down on it's side to get it below the garage doors on ceiling tracks... just a thought.

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

Nice job and congrats of the new place - well deserved. That spray foam will pay for itself and a lot of the other costs in energy saving over the 10-15 years. When the time comes for a new roof, consider white shingles. If you have the space, plant some nice maples around the shop for shade.

[@johnb8579]

Jay...remember this about window tint...any time it's brighter inside than outside, the "mirror" effect is going to be backwards, meaning that people can see in, but you cannot see out. Since the first rule of shop lighting is "You can never have too much", there will be plenty of times ...day or night...when this occurs. This is true of any window, actually...if you have a window on the front of your house (untinted or tinted), unless the drapes are closed, if the lights are on inside and you cannot see what's going on outside from across the room, then that means that anybody going by can see right in. If you want to control the visibility into your shop, instead of tinting the windows, mill some lightweight channels and cut thin plywood panels to slide horizontally and slip them into the tracks. If you get real creative with this, you could put in multiple slots so that the panels would "stack" on each end and leave most or all of the window uncovered.

[@UNKN0WN_YT]

Nice. Excited to see you start putting up videos of new projects in your new shop.

[@trevhaydon5090]

Can't express enough to you how really happy I am for you, Jay 👍 You absolutely deserve it bud. The workshop is looking really awesome. Loving the boy in a sweetshop look you seem to have acquired. ;) Take care and all the best from North London UK.

[@michaelpeavey3264]

Congrats on the completed shop. Wise investments indeed. Now I'm off to the website😁

[@JellymintTV]

It turned out wonderful. Congrats and much success... Click thru!

[@Subsonic-cd2en]

I have a shop heated and cooled with mini splits also. Just be aware, that they lose efficiency and ability to work properly in cold temperatures. My mini split was working 100% and only able to keep my shop at around 50 degrees in the cold Wisconsin winters. I had to install a ceiling mounted propane furnace to bump up the temperature a little when I actually went out to the shop to work. Also, the electric bill in the winter was huge. If you have the option, piping natural gas lines to your shop for heating during the winter would be the way to go.

[@reforzar]

I’m so happy for you. What a great space to spend time!

[@smallacresfarm]

I found it helpful to install a driveway alarm to be alerted when people show up. I've had good experience with the Chamberlain CWA200C on Amazon.

[@williamfitzer4805]

I put a 3 unit mini split system in the upstairs of our home when I finished it. Love it. 2 ceiling cassettes and one wall mount unit. The. I put a wall mount unit in my 24x30 foot shop. Used an 18/19 BTU heat pump and it works great. I still need to spray foam on the underside of the roof and insulate the roll up door, but the unit is keeping the shop cool in SC, so once that insulation is done. It will be perfect. Best investment I have made in the shop.

[@thomh.5561]

Nice shop. Have the same HVAC units. I live up north where you have a "back up heat". I've switched the breaker off and haven't needed it for 2 winters. Your units should also have a "dehumidifier setting" great for basements and I would assume also Mississippi. I love their warranty and have had to use it. And they even went above and beyond to compensate a VERY unique situation. You might want to put up drywall on your half walls to help the 2nd floor, if you want to. Just a thought. Love the new shop and love seeing people who do it right the first time.

[@Ray_Sellner]

I went to the web site article from the email. Congratulations. Well done.

[@Otto-W]

Happy for you, Thinking French doors would have been an interesting choose to replace the garage doors.

[@thomasalison6188]

Let the fun begin!! Shop looks great!!

[@jeffforbes3772]

Easy to see how proud and happy you are. Good on ya!

[@brianmichel2879]

Jay if it isn't too late, look into having your garage doors installed high lift style. basically the tracks go up closer to bottom of trusses and won't interfere with longer pieces of wood as much as normal install. Shop is awesome. Definitely jealous!

[@chemcody5119]

I remember the first time I saw the New Yankee Workshop and I went "Wow! Your shop is kind of "Wow" Jay!. I'm really diggin' it man!

[@fabianbonasera]

Jay, in the future it would be awesome to get solar panels with power wall batteries. The whole shop could run almost for free and you'd be blackout-proof.

[@darthgzuz]

He can add wall batteries in phase 2, run the climate system on solar during day n on grid at night. I'm doing same at my home with a 5KW solar system. I will add batteries in phase 2 after some savings 😜

[@BOCraftsman]

I’m glad the Mitsubishi mini-split is working well for you!

[@johna.9742]

So, so happy for you Jay.

[@johnbennett3906]

Good choice on the Mini Split -- I'm also a HVAC contractor Jay. I have the same in my shop, but smaller.

[@julianogama2966]

Amazing workplace. 🙌🙌🙌 I hope to set up a space like this for me here in Brazil

[@rpomusic]

These units are quite common in Japan, and Japan's climate is quite diverse. The best way to save utility fee is to keep them on all the time, keep it moderate at the night, rather than turning it off each time you enter the space. You might want to consider installing a smart remote home system to change the temperature. Congrats on your new place! It looks tremendous.

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

Congrats on an awesome shop.

[@smithe53]

First thing I noticed in the email you sent out was the snowman in the loft. I, too, am plagued by this giant snowman and where to put it/what to do with it. Really liking your new shop, Jay!

[@HSCollectibles]

Sweet setup. My new shop is not climate controlled but it’s 50x36 and awesome. Working on painting the floor with epoxy paint right now

[@kylecroft5807]

Sweet shop set up jay 👊

[@TedAlexander24]

So glad you are elated with your space, neighborhood and life in general. Will gladly trade you a few of the Skiatook caps for a Jay’s Custom Creations cap. Have seen that one long enough.

[@94auwing]

Great choice on the hvac you will love them.

[@tmote]

Hi Frosty! He probably appreciates the climate control the most, up that high it gets hot. What a great shop! Congratulations!

[@keithkrueger1609]

one other advantage i have found the spray foam will help alot with reducing sound in the shop as it will absorb alot of noise.

[@tommasters8229]

Hi, I agree that the Mitsubishi units are very good. I live in Pa and installed 4 units in my house that was built in the 187o’s and then added on over the years. The contractor I use was very competent and recommended, in my case, that I use separate condensers and air handles for two reasons one the smaller the unit the higher the efficiently and two service and maintain is straight forward. The best to you.

[@tomim7187]

Boy, is a conditioned workspace worth the money; you work harder and longer, the tools stay rust free(ish) and wood stored will acclimate to a drier condition. Congrats on getting your shop set-up. Wish I had that much space.

[@beanzie99]

love it. came together so very nicely. every mans dream come true.

[@Thepriest39]

Has the spray foam helped with noise control as in reducing any echoing and noise coming out of your shop? Great investment and REAL nice shop.

[@MikeTheSith200]

Great video. Your links for Rockler aren't working

[@miketabar2327]

Jay I am happy as heck for you. That shop is really looking great. Now you will find out what its like not to have to move a tool to use a tool.👍👍👍👍 Kudos.

[@mkzenthusiasts]

Depending on what part of the state you are in you will need between an R30 to R60. Each inch is an r6.5 so if you want to in the future spray an additional 2 to 3 inches and those air conditioners won't work as hard. The walls are fine if they have 6 inches in them which I think that's what you did I'd hafta go back and re watch also the new doors will help tremdously as well.

[@rickwallin6724]

I've read that they have a lot of problems. Do the mini splits clog up quickly with wood dust particles and have to be cleaned every day?

[@williamellis8993]

Glad all is well with the new shop, Jay. I'm moving into a new shop in a few weeks and will be going through the same decisions (Ohio). I have a lot more information to draw on now. Thanks.

[@lauram9076]

the original roll up doors- I have the same thing on my new shop. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to insulate this style? Congratulations on finally being able to enjoy your new space!

[@mitchdenner9743]

Rip them out and put in a 2 inch polyurethane insulated door.

[@douglasadams4540]

Can’t wait to you start building again. Although I love this entire series

[@stevehood7151]

Nice work Jay.

[@johnbrink53]

Good luck and great job!!

[@slickwoodworks5452]

Your shop turned on super super nice

[@HebronGrandpa]

When you were in Frisco, TX I know you were excited about getting this shop. Congratulations!

[@tpobrienjr]

Great video, Jay. Very well done, especially the explanation of your decision process.

[@donsdiys1140]

3m makes a clear thermal tint that works amazing. The one way tint is good but at night it will reverse on you people outside will be able to see in and you will not be able to see out. We have the same tint at my work .

[@blakeloke5586]

Jay...thanks so much for the updates and your thought process with respect to the shop upgrades!

[@thomasgallagher5301]

My shop is heated but no air conditioning,I live up north but still gets hot in the summer and I am going to put a mini split in next spring. Thanks for sharing.

[@caseypicha2051]

Nice! and no noise over the audio!

[@pteddie6965]

Congrats on the new shop. Please, don't forget those of us with tiny garage shops when you plan future videos. How about some more ideas for easy to make Christmas gifts.

[@sandmandave2008]

Did you consider radiant barrier insulation? If so why did you go foam? In my old shop I used closed cell 6.5 inches thick on ceilings and walls and after adding 500 square feet of floor space didn't notice any difference in heat costs. I was in a very cold climate. Now that I'm in Texas I'm going with radiant barrier in my new metal building. I've read that radiant barrier in hot sunny climates can save 5% to 10%. BTW, your insulation runs about 6.5 to 7 R value per inch. I would think in your area that would be good.

[@jasoncsullog3741]

What would be the cost to purchase a copy of the blue superhero sign. my 5 year old would love that. I've already built a superhero action figure holder for him.

[@3rd_stall]

If I may make one suggestion, go with a wall mount opener, Chamberlain RJO20 Direct Drive Wall Mounted, Super Quite, has an app to open and close.

[@johnbussiere7662]

Great Job Jay, thanks for sharing your progress.

[@jbug332]

I live less than 30 minutes from your location great schools for sure. Grew up with your insulation contractor heck of a fella. I Would Love To See Your New Shop

[@JayBates]

Where ya at? Send me an email

[@chiphunt9540]

In just weekend diyer I'm building a 20 ×20 shop like your tips on shop lay out and dust collection

[@TheKc26059]

Awesome. I just noticed your cube looks like the initials of your Jay's custom creations! I bet baby girl is getting big! Maybe a video update on her and momma.. now that your just about done with getting everything set up and in a new routine. We recently built my step dads casket. Maybe you could look into doing those, it was very rewarding.

[@fubarfrank74]

High 90° temperature. Here in Vegas, we're expecting some of our first 90° days since June next week, I'm pretty excited since I just have fans in my shop. With that said, I'll take it over having a single percentage of your humidity any day.

[@morgran2002]

I live in Maine, we Have 2 Mitsubishi mini splits. I cut my oil use by 70% in the winter and we are cool in summer now. They are great units.

[@theweepinghunter]

fab vid but can I ask how do you make more money from your website as do not see adds there ??? But thanks for the vid love them

[@curtjohnson1635]

I'm impressed you've been able to do all this debt free, I'm not even close to making money off my garage workshop, and I've put several grand on credit cards...

[@sifirid]

Good choice. I was comforted in two tours by the Mitsubishi. Worked great even in extreme heat and cold. Had one in my chu and our TOC. Come to think of it, I never spent much time in sleep state or not out

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome stuff Jay! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@gateway1600]

Great job. My local building code required fire proofing on any exposed foam. Did you have to spray fire proofing over your exposed foam in the ceiling?

[@JayBates]

No.

[@jeffreysmith5018]

is there any concern with the units getting clogged with dust?

[@mountainlightwoodcraft]

Jay, Did the $2,539.89 you cited for dust collection in your cost breakdown cover the EF5 upgrade or just the Nordfab? I assume the EF5 upgrade was several thousand more. Mountain Light Woodcraft

[@williamfitzer4805]

I have the same roll up doors that u have. I am going to insulate them myself with an R13 double pack poly. Supposed to work well, the only real problem is the gap between the head roller, but will build out an insulated case to seal that off.

[@projekt6_official]

125* -> 83* is incredible! That's awesome. It would be interesting to see how much additional decrease you'd see from painting the roof a lighter color.

[@claudearmstrong9232]

You mention the Mitsubishi HVAC Conversion pump working down to below freezing. If the price of gas or electricity is less than the power used to heat at low temps, then the efficiency of the conversion unit is less than the other power sources. One has to compare actual cost factors, not merely if the conversion unit will work, unless no other power source is available.
