Building Out My NEW SHOP SPACE! (How Bad Is It?) - Pt 1

[@spoon8682]

Watching this had me thinking of how rare a man like your dad will be in the future. I'm 40 and know very few who have that kind of knowledge! Lucky to have him!

[@Will_Brock]

You and your dad remind me so much of me and mine. Really showing the importance of spending time together doing things we enjoy. I wish you both long and healthy lives!

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you!

[@blueoxmodelshop3405]

Another very cool episode! I am very much enjoying following the move back to NH. Thanks for bringing us along!!!

[@HomeBuiltByJeff]

Really enjoying the shop series. Coming together nicely.

[@JohnLudwick]

Thank you!

Your window header should have been 3 2x8 southern yellow pine with OSB spacers. It looks like you used spruce witch is not strong enough, especially with the snow load. Cladding the walls in OSB is great for hanging things but keep in mind that it burns quick in a fire. You might think about covering it with 1/2" type X drywall.

[@timfitzgerald109]

Great progress and your Dad makes it look so easy.

[@thepontiackid]

I actually love building videos especially for shops haha. Makes me wanna get out and keep constructing mine!

[@tommurphy116]

Great work guys. Please mask up. You got a lot more to do. The cheapie paper mask is very effective. Best luck with all.

[@draincctv8659]

Your dad sure has some skills - thumbs up to both of you for the huge effort.

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

You don't have to say it out loud in front of everyone......but ya gotta admit the smell of cut 2 by 4 s is sweet? Scratching, sparking, welding.......sure they are cool.....but pine and spruce............. Great job! Safe travels

[@JohnLudwick]

Very true 😂

[@MichaelThompson77]

I wish you luck, I know how long those trips are as I moved from Maine to Tennessee 9 years ago and made many trips back and forth. You couldn’t pay me to move back up there after being down here, definitely don’t miss the weather or getting darker way earlier.

[@avidworkslol]

Me sitting in here in awe of your dad's perfectly straight circular saw cuts

[@JohnLudwick]

Some of the best out there 😂

[@davidadams007]

nice progress

[@xMikeyPIZZAx]

That early westy Rabbit, though... 🔥

[@brettdorow3796]

Love the new place, can’t wait to see more builds and the finishing of the others!

[@billydeal3205]

Your dad is awesome. You’re pretty cool too. 😉 But seriously, he’s a beast!

[@h12st_d63]

Loving this deviation on content, car guys always dream of having an amazing shop like that 👌🏻

[@Herblenny]

Love seeing the transformation

[@Dan-hk3ge]

Be safe in your travels John. Hope you enjoy being back home.

[@snowblindburd]

So awesome seeing the progress on this already. I love shop builds. Someday hopefully I'm doing my own!

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

Me too.... It makes a channel real to see how the business grows and takes turns in the road.

[@GrafsGarage3]

Excited to see the final outcome of this shop! Also excited to see the Fasty get worked on!

[@zimmem2]

I have eagerly been anticipating this one. You and your dad are doing great work so far on the new spot. Would love to know how much $ (ballpark) you get into this reno. That room is gonna be much better suited for the laser cutter/merch setup. You continue to be an inspiration for the hustle. Keep it up and welcome back to the northeast! Does the new garage get wet at all?

[@robertsummers753]

I LOVE WATCHING BUILDING VIDEO'S AND YOU 2 ARE DOING GREAT JOB!!!

[@KeeganHansen-n7b]

My girlfriend and I are from New Brunswick and just got back from a short vacation in NH. The weather was phenomenal, good week to get some work done for sure.

[@MyFranzen]

This is making me wanna get my shop in a better working fashion. Keep it up!

[@Heyman3Thousand]

Your Dad is Awesome. Your a lucky guy to have him !

[@jessemorgan3409]

Been saying you need to drop the fast back on a boxter/cayman pan. It would be legitness.

[@peteharvey4055]

Awesome

[@jamesgarnsey7581]

I’m glad you got a new shop and they’re making it your own

[@drseven7]

Love the channel man, long time sub from switzerland. Your dad reminds me of mine, we run a motorcycle repair business together and i appreciate you appreciate your dad. Cant wait to see the shop when its done!

[@eddiesanchez5643]

Looks like a ton of work ! It’s coming together stay the course…. 👍🏽

[@piasprojects]

Good to see you and your dad working on this project. It’s going to be exciting how you transform this space!!

[@retrophil8241]

New Hampshire looks beautiful. I hear that there's a lot of Irish descendants in New Hampshire. On watching your father work it's clear to see where you got the hands from. What about a bit of a ground work to level the inside and outside the shop floor?

[@DerrickG-u8f]

I know you have a lot going on but there’s a nice corvair engine complete on marketplace about 3 hrs from you on the way to NH $300

[@peteharvey4055]

Film it, we will watch it.

[@lukefriel7045]

Not now babe, John uploaded his new shop

[@matthewwebber3019]

Soooo good!!! I love the upgrades! Keep it up!

[@jeraldhite9744]

Enjoyed, and it also seemed satisfying. Looks like your Father enjoyed himself as well.

[@justinharvey6192]

I hate to say it but that rot you all were referring to looks a lot like termite damage. But man great job it looks great

[@CompressorSurge]

Looking forward to the content. I grew up in NH so I’ll live vicariously through your videos 🍻

[@norbertr823]

Your dad is a legend

[@user-ds1nb9sg6n]

Great content...your Dad is the MVP

[@grabasandwich]

Canada run? I'm surprised there's anything left up here that hasn't rusted away to nothing 😂

[@buffetline2605]

Feel like your neighbors are gonna end up hating you. Lol hope they like cars.

[@JohnLudwick]

Next door neighbor raced Corvairs back in the day! We’re already friends 😂

[@Yeradumis420]

I figure your dad already knows this but I had to say something just In case. That dust is from powder post beetles. Better spray for them or they will eat up all your hard work. Love your content!👍🏻

[@johanjohansson7720]

[@finster7582]

Dad is an animal !! what doesnt he know how to do ??? 😃👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@hedrives]

Your dad is super hardworking. Major props from one old guy to another. Give him a raise. lol.

[@jonathanburnham627]

Dad reppin’ Bag Riders! Love it 😂👍

[@jaysone950]

Ludwicks Garage is as much about car builds as it is about the actual “garage”. Great stuff.

[@Jimmy-ex2ep]

Great work Ludwicks. Safe travels John.

[@northshoreracer]

Would love to see the same 2-3 angles of the shop in a slow pan at the end of each episode so we can see it side by side at some point! Maybe even a go-pro Timelapse would be cool!

[@chuckXXL]

Looks like termite damage at 10:00

[@dlux703]

Great progress. It's going to be a lot smaller than the old shop, but if you're organized, as we expect you will be, it will be adequate and easier to heat than a bigger space. Just too bad you don't have enough indoor space to start on the bus during the winter.

[@m0neq]

I’m in the middle of a garage reno as well. So well times 😁

[@StewartJ2022]

Are you now thinking of building the bus conversation at the new shop? And wise move converting that side room for the laser stuff, it's exactly what my thoughts we're but maybe a smaller window in the outside wall for more light ! I've been subbed since you fetched the bus and watch from the UK

[@user-ds1nb9sg6n]

That tan rabbit is super clean

[@timothyfindlay6253]

Ludwick’s construction channel coming soon! 😂

This JL Compound would make the craziest haunted house / trail. Looking forward to watching the progress

[@gregocconer682]

If you don’t mind me asking, what is your source of income to do all of this if you are only working on cars for yourself

[@Ht1976.]

Your asking a lot from that mini split

[@scottmartin356]

I love work, I could watch it for hours 🤗 Fortunately for me you use time lapse 🤭. Is your father a professional carpenter? He sure knows his way this construction!

[@pennycopperhatch9315]

New Hampshire is the perfect place to have a lot of rotted rusted out cars there too!....So more Car Projects!.....haha

[@jonathanrighetti5897]

yu gotta hustle up with the move before the weather turns to crap

[@BrianSmart1959]

Lightened studs on that wall. The bugs have been busy.

[@williamfreret6859]

It's not your property and you are allowed to do modifications...?

[@AirborneMediaScotland]

Why didn’t you just rent a big rig truck and trailer and just do one run I’m sure that would have been cheaper and take less of your time instead of driving 1k miles there and back everytime

[@bealzibub4002]

Put your money into buying your own place instead of spending it on renovating other peoples properties

[@brndn666]

Pay attention to his videos, he’s already talked about his plans on his own shop in the future. Unfortunately you gotta start somewhere and this is one of the things he’s gotta do to get himself where he wants to ultimately be. I imagine him spending this money to upgrade this shop is going to cut him some costs in his rent which is also very helpful. John’s comes a long way in the last decade I’ve been following him; I doubt your opinion on this holds much water.
