MAJOR DEMO at the shop! Garage REMODEL!

[@bradyward6624]

These last few videos have had me dying laughing the whole time, so stoked on them! Progress on both the shop and pro car is coming along nicely!

[@bobsessedonbikes1684]

31:54 get a triple stacker in there. It would be ideal for some of the cars that don’t move for years at a time.

[@accordcl9-zy8dc]

This🔝

[@swissroll71]

This x2

[@liiiinder]

And then he could put 2 triple stackers (or one more triple and the existing 2) the same orientation (90 deg to the existing) in front of the office. Would free up so much space and tbh... He speaks about needing lifts for cars to work on but how long has that porsche been there without any work too it ;)

[@hatchkid91]

That water heater got to go more space for stuff

[@wrexz]

I've been saying triple stacker since the first shop video. Either where the existing 4 post is now or in one of the new spots. It would free up a lot of space

[@kyleglasgow007]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE KEEP THE RENOVATION CONTENT COMING!!! It's a nice change up, SUPER fun seeing everyone get involved and having fun with it, and it's giving me ideas for my shop & garage space.

[@sebastian_smash]

seeing all these "shop renovation" videos really refreshes the content in a good way. also it motivates me to clean & reorganize my shop, hahah. EDIT: a four post like Nightride guys have, where you can lift the car up on the little thing that slides front to back would be cool in that space imo.

[@StanleyKubick1]

working under a 4 post sucks

[@colinverdon5949]

You could put a 3 car stacker like Taylor ray in that spot would look really cool

[@Jzxtomfoolery]

Brian kicking the wall “little higher there 🦶🏼” 11:41 had me dying We miss Brian button ->

[@Berm_Blaster]

DJ just casually walking in with a sledgehammer in one hand and a drink in the other lmfao. Dude is on the spectrum

[@mitchellrobinson9810]

On the spectrum? In Australia doing that just makes you a normal tradie

[@johnlpavia1]

lol, have to love when Bri comes in like a fun uncle. Fake yelling you, and 100% on board with what you are doing.

[@poloie]

DJ is good vibes gets so much unnecessary hate on his own channel

[@toddbrown4185]

DJ is much smarter than he acts on camera. I think he plays into it because he knows it pisses people off

[@djnoway]

Fug em 🖤

[@taylor_drift]

​@@djnowayThat's the attitude to keep man. They hatin cuz the fakin. #PasstheDutchie

[@bseider5387]

Not sure where Jimmy found Spoon, but damn he does incredible work. Everything looks like it comes from a parts manufacturer. OEM quality on all the custom fabrication. Props to you Spoon for always making the builds extra clean.

[@johntdi19]

I’d definitely move the 4 post into that new corner space keeps it out of the way for long term car storage and put a 2 post in the location the 4 post is in now

[@ablinken0212]

Exactly what I was coming to post.

[@matthewadorno6261]

Makes alot of sense. Especially if they have to prep a car really quick. Or if one of the homies needs to use the lift, you don’t have to move 3 cars. It’s easy access to have it up in the front.

[@zmohan69]

Same. And easier to put cars on the lift there bc its pull straight in. Not pull in and have to do 4 turns to get it on the lift

[@SideQuestHomestead]

14:06 the pure look of concern from Spoon had me dying

[@bristolcity5596]

If you put a 4 post there you can use it as a lift to the storage above the toilet 2 birds 1 stone

[@hedrives]

Love the cooling pipes Spoon fabbed. Consider adding skid protection. Could be perforated steel along the the way. One hard kerb hit could cause coolant evacuation.

[@Olie_d94]

Triple stacker next to the bathroom. Also could use the leftover board to cover the front side where the door is so it at least looks like a single outhouse lol

[@Nick_Tank]

Need another Loft just like the OG shop had!!! But fit more than one Miata under it😉😉😉 Momma Oakes’ and Kai’s 😂😂😂

[@MoreLifeB]

I think what makes this channel is that everything this boy Jim does, is done properly.

[@Thatdirty1J]

Man I never normally comment on vids but spoon is seriously an artist with his work, the calibre of his metalwork is next level. Surely a spoon fab t-shirt coming once the pro car is finished!

[@Lagniappeson]

You should add a staircase to get up stairs, the easier it is to access it, the more likely you are to use it. Ladders can get sketchy with an arm full of parts.

[@themikeyfrisco]

PATREON gang! Oakes Contracting Team 😂 Love the shop update/demo vids. Spoon got the pro car looking 👌🏻👌🏻

[@nicko4193]

A gentleman a scholar and champion amongst the car culture. Hat's off and cheers to Jimmy Oakes, we all are certified KZbin master mechanics now!

[@NoClassic]

Happy to see spoon spent the time to do the hard coolant lines.Really nice work.

[@Nimbus.]

ty for the consistent content for like 10 year dude. its been real af.

[@chasesworkshop]

Jim, we’re just here to chill with you and the boys. No matter what you do your content has been fantastic. Keep the shop mods coming!

[@jadonthiessen3370]

"A man of many Jims" bahaha, I resonate with this on an emotional level. Much love from Canada

[@jordanjennings-bn1dj]

Hey Jimmy start the year off by dropping a video of your car collection I been spending the past two weeks watching all your videos and I'm trying to peace together all your cars!!! I think it would get lots of views! The fans would appreciate it! Let's see the cars!!!

[@ninjagameez]

he did one the other day, so if you actually are watching all his vids you will get to it

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

I'd say the 3=Car Stcker idea is cool!....Also Taylor bought a "Ready Made" Loft system unit.....Just need to put it together!

[@justinelliott293]

The garage remodel is a nice change of pace. I've been looking forward to each episode.

[@davidowen888]

Businesses that use hazardous materials are required to have an emergency shower, DJ shoulda kept shower for his shop😂 he's always spillin crap, Oh and Spoon dats some good work rite dar 👌 a couple drains on the lowest point of them coolant pipes will come in handy 👍

[@adyn4958]

You have no idea how much these videos have made me clean up my areas that I work in 😅

[@scottmdix]

nice to finally watch you guys do something that im way better at than you😁, Super fun video, it speaks volumes that we all just love sitting around and watching you and your friends do anything.

[@dereklittle9194]

@JimmyOakes You should paint the face of the bathroom a wood stain and put a moon on the door. Complete the “Outhouse” vibe.

[@fong56]

Ngl I wanna see Jimmy make the potato cannon. Nostalgic vibe would be dope

[@AP-ov6se]

These videos have been a great change of pace not only for us, but seems like you guys are having a blast too! Keep em coming Jimmy & The team!

[@assaulttheasphalt6638]

I feel like it's tike Jimmy builds a shop loft. Build something similar to what Taylor Ray did with his triple stack. So Jimmy can have more shop space.

[@mmontgomeryy]

Aiden needs to visit and build a loft like he did in his shop. Man knows how to make things look good too

[@justinweaver2586]

Absolutely loving this change of pace with these videos. Gives a break from the car stuff

[@maxhennessy2996]

It really is enjoyable to watch all of these kind of videos, like someone else said it splits it up in a really good way!

[@Chattsteezy]

Been LOVING these vids lately. I love organization and I really think this will help make the shop so much more efficient for yall. Keep it up boys!!

[@starfox_wr-45e93]

Spoon is great with Pipe. Jimmy is good with Wood. What a combo 😂

[@Jon64scale]

Jimmy enjoying the shop remodel vids hit your boy Grant up for some Tire Racks he made perfect for Oakes Garage stoked for 2025 Oakes Garage great work 👍

[@Jbzy3000]

Great renovation. Spoons pipes are nice af. A work of art.

[@jrivera13154]

The music choice for this video was amazing

[@bloodmire93]

This music with this action, best entertainment so far this year 🎉

[@bimW00]

the shop content has been a real nice change of pace, ive always been so interested in the shop just as much as the cars so its nice to see the shop get some love too

[@codyfunden2816]

As someone how does construction for a living, this was hilarious to watch 😂 definitely did it the fun way hahaha

[@justin_bmxs]

Looks like you’re all havin fun! Cutting out for the electrical outlet with the sawzall was just the kind of chaos i was hoping to see from contractor jim! You should look into an oscillating multi tool i use mine all the time for stuff like that, most brands even come with a sanding attachment that comes in clutch for the places that you cant fit a palm sander into. One of those tools i got that my dad thought was pointless, but now he loves it and uses it everywhere too.

[@pepijndekoning3727]

Boys, these video's are great. I am dying laughing the whole time and i love to see you guys have a fun time!

[@AcidTeegx]

Remodeling/fix things for some reason is really satisfying 😂

[@AnthonyBowman]

The pro car is coming out fucking sick. Those hard pipes for the coolant are awesome.

[@jiffy6867]

Absolutely loving these clean up videos. Just the boys being boys

[@joshuaabeall]

Jimmy I love the cleaning videos they are so satisfying! Construction Jimmy on top 💪🏽

[@danielhylton93]

Loving the content 👏🏻 I sure do miss having my unit and a great bunch of lads down there fu*king about having a laugh especially with DIY stuff. Keep it up 🙌🏻

[@nardi-yo6544]

These last couple of videos are awesome i love shop work hahah a goof workshop is key

[@thisjust-in2675]

should paint a mural next to the bathroom on the wall. like a garage setting with a lift and tool box with a s15 on it so it looks like there is another spot in the shop

[@cam0340]

Please put inspection points/caps where you are going to concrete around the plumbing. The next person will love you for it! Much love, Australia

[@mikeyaaahhh]

Putting the 4 post in the open area also doubles up as a elevator for easy loading and unloading things from the loft.

[@Springerrrrr]

This video had me dyin!! DJ “this ain’t cut from the same tree” and Jimmy using the sawsal for the outlet hood lol😂

[@dylanfisher4585]

I used to do demo/abatement. And man, I know how much fun it is screw around with friends and just destroy stuff 🤣 this video was very enjoyable.

[@andrewczajkowski7001]

Love these videos. Dont be afraid to show us shop upgrade videos. These fall under "oddly satisfying" videos for sure.

[@bigmikepimp2003]

Spoon don't give a shit about what's happening on the other side of the shop. He's doing his thing

[@w1ueddj740]

I like the idea of the 4 post next to the bathroom. Then that opens up room for you to put a two post near the door you walk into the shop.

[@6SteamingBun9]

Jimbo and the team putting in that work. Good stuff as usual

[@NOOB_GOD_007]

Shop is lookin fire Jimmy, love what you got planned for January just refreshing up!

[@lukeybabes1]

Need to tidy my workshop so bad after seeing this. You could make a frame car stands for the long term storage cars. Lift them up with a forklift or put them on casters and lift the cars you with a lift. Saves buying loads of extra lifts

[@SquillMode]

It would be cool to have the four post in that position and also in the process while doing that it would be nice to see all of the cars in the parking lot lined up next to each other

[@yerboibillnye]

brian may actually be the funniest person on youtube lol dude is a homie

[@thatdriftlife7629]

Because you cant fit a second 4 post next to the 1 you have maybe getting the duel platform 4 post hoist (hd 9sw) and put it there and move the existing 4 post to the new spot next to bathroom. Then build a loft/mezzanine over both and you will have plenty of storage and office space and you could get out of the other building and have less bills. Plus it would look epic and be good content

[@YTJak2000]

Renovation content is cool af keep it coming Jim

[@VapedTalon]

If you are looking to round out the storage on that wall while still having area's to work I would suggest getting 3 more of those husky shelves. Just install them with the bottom shelf a couple inches off the ground (so your feet don't hit) and don't put in the third shelf. That way you can toss on a sheet of plywood as your spare bench on the middle shelf and have all the storage on the top.

[@prophet-kenschurr]

To cap off the drain to put quick crete you need pvc cap and glue it on like you did to the tank vent and line from the water heater

[@prophet-kenschurr]

Then the land lord for the sump pump because its possibly tied to the out side with pvc aswell.

[@xXxXdr0pDeadxXxX]

Love the shop content ! Organization is key for a good work flow !!

[@tylersecor4668]

I’m all in on the shop updates! Great vibes, I think you guys are having fun doing something different and it’s shows on camera.

[@UkwaaTowed]

I think the 4 post would look sick there, and then put a lift where the 4 post usually is, I also think extending the loft over to the end would definitely be a good idea!

[@Scott_fonz81]

Jim has that carpenter in his blood... Jimmy of all trades 👏

[@BatteryAcid777]

honestly the pipes under the car will make next to no diffrance, you have to keep in mind rads have a lot of fins and very thin pipes, this means the have a ton of surface area for their size. if the pipes had fins, even big ones it might make some diffrance, but still probably very little

[@CivtechOG]

You have the start of a nice indoor wash bay with the water and drains already being there.

[@mongxiong8770]

I love seeing these shop renovations videos. It's also a good vibe seeing y'all have fun and doing new things !

[@ivanrascon3572]

Have you seen the storage lift Taylor ray has. That would be sick. Seems like you have a lot of cars that aren’t being worked on. So storing them out of the way would make a shop feel bigger. Not only that you have a really tall building. Use that to your advantage!!!

[@whaledetroit6917]

As a old dude 50 I am loving these videos keep it up jimmy

[@Olie_d94]

Long term build could be putting a larger storage loft over where the two four post is currently, with stairs, for more parts storage

[@zachfreeze3964]

Look up Howe Cool tubes on summit, they’re aluminum pipes with fins on them to cool down fluids, could be another step up from your aluminum tube, definitely bigger though

[@MrShuaTV]

You know what empty shelves mean. New sponsors time. Hey Sunoco how about getting Jimmy an e85 sponsorship!

[@bradthompson6818]

I think you guys should add another 2 4 post lifts for storage over by the bathroom and the front of the shop. Then add another 2 post to have another lift to work on.

[@larrysutton6530]

You should look into a 4 post stacker lift. They are great if you have hi enough ceilings to allow one to fit.

[@TheVickc]

Make sure that toilet doesn’t drain into that sump.

[@607CHA]

You need the movable bendpak 4 post hoist. Roll it wherever you need it then move it to a corner and store 2 cars.

[@jeraldhite9744]

This is very satisfying video. This is all part of your work load. Just film it show it. It's normal for everyone. Why spend your off time family time cleaning a shop.

[@EthanG1991]

Triple stacker would look sick there and would hide that corner behind the cars

[@CK662]

Love these few videos!! I miss the Maserati Porsche conversion but this is so cool too!! Been subscribed since 2019 and try not miss a video 🤙🏻 keep it chill boys love the process I keep saying but Would love to see a mezzanine at the back with a paint both and tool station underneath

[@dustinharrel1174]

Dj is my spirit animal I swear

[@1990Redline]

Love the recent videos, good start into the year and keep it going guys. Its kinda like Chris Rudnik style but with better quality AND yall actually get shit done.

[@bozobilly2764]

Spoon is the man 👌 please get him new screens for that welding helmet 🤣

[@801_artist4]

storage lift needs to go next to the bathroom loving the switch up from cars

[@James18Qc]

Jimmy, we enjoy every video out of you and the gang! No matter what you guys killed us every Time ahahaha keep up 😊

[@Danger-Dave]

I actually think that relocating that 4-post in between the bathroom and support post is the right move, it will work better in that tight space than a 2 post and then you can put one of the new 2 post cattycornered up front where the 4-post used to be to give you more room to work around the car. In the future as you can afford them, get 3-tier stacker lifts for the "limbo" cars in the back room that way you could drive your finished cars from the parking-lot in the middle of the shop to floor level in the back and really open it up.

[@SKOMPAS]

Jimmy you need to the Japanese thing and build a sort of half level above the office so you can have two layers of all the stuff up there, great way to nearly double the storage without taking up anymore space

[@waterlover]

I say two more four post lifts on that end of shop would look insane. Can ad the ae86 and the wagon on one side and the four door and white two door . Would make more room for four new projects .

[@kylecube15]

I love the shop renovation content keep it coming!!

[@dawsonairsoft8915]

I love the shop videos. It cracks me up how little you guys know about construction. Lol. Makes it hella entertaining.

[@rpm620]

Also like others have said get a 3 car stacker where the shower was and put two 2 post lifts where the old four post was. Then either sell the old four post or if your not getting rid of that back storage space put it in there and put some of the other cars on it.
