Metal Magic Special: Paul Dye Shop Tour

[@BrilliantDesignOnline]

Very nice. The correct size workshop is one in which you can have airplane(s) in the background; my shop is a FULL (of tools) two car garage. I like the labels on the toolbox; larger is a great idea. I have probably all the tools you do, but add in a computer with internet, and SolidWorks, a CNC plasma cutter, and a CNC mill. I LOVE the 24" squeezer frame: added to list. Great shop and tour, thank you.

Great shop Paul, I see you have one of the things really important when standing on concrete….the floor mats, got a save those knees.

Paul, you forgot to mention one of the most important items in your shop---that big red recliner at the far end, for when you get the after lunch sag and before you had your afternoon coffee...

What about the compressed-air supply? I've watched the whole series, and you were never interrupted by the compressor starting. Do you have a really big tank? Is the compressor located outside? Do you have a talented film editor?

Paul says, "A very good question - thanks for asking! While we do indeed have a talented film editor, the truth is that our large tank compressor is located in the adjacent hangar space, with all the air plumbed into dedicated air outlets around the shop, specifically so that we don’t have to deal with the air compressor noise. We’ve lived with compressor noise in the shop most of our life, so when we built the dedicated shop space, we felt it was a great luxury to leave the compressor in the hangar and plumb in the air. It makes for a much more peaceful building experience."
