⚓️ NOMAD - Workshop Tour

[@matthewdoyle3129]

Thankyou for sharing, I especially liked your comment of how you built this $100 at a time, as I think this is true for most of us, and how we are the most versatile tool we have 👍🏻

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Matthew Doyle so true Matthew. I think it's good to remind those newer to the game that it's a slow steady process and no good comes of tooling up too fast. The fewer tools you have, the more likely they will be sharp when you go to use them as well. I'm starting to build out my blacksmithing setup and so far I have an anvil and a heavier ball peen hammer. That's it. I'll be making all the rest and I look forward to it.

Great tour, and proves you dont need a huge shop. Loving the appliance lift for the mitre saw. Given me a great idea for my own shop

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks 👍

SMALL WORLD!!! I just stumbled onto this channel and thought I was viewing more vids from Glouster or somewhere in the U.S.ofA. Now I see you are in Victoria where I was born in 52.In 1981 I moved to Sooke for the boating and fishing.Watching with interest.CHEERS

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Well howdy neighbour!

[@parkerbrothers75]

Well said! I have been a carpenter for 24 year and built a lot of things with few tools. ( in the beginning)Just get started and you will figure it out as you go!!

[@ApexWoodworks]

Mark, I stumbled upon this older video of yours and am glad I did. I was quite amazed at the investment in hardware you have, and your organization of everything in those full extension drawers is laudable. I agree with your philosophy on cordless tools; I've gone with Milwaukee's 12 volt system and am quite happy with it... at least until it dies. Thanks for sharing your shop ideas with us. Cheers from Kingston, ON.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Ah Kingston. I used to hang out there quite a bit for a few years in the early 90’s.

[@captainahab5650]

Here I am a year later revisiting this video because I need to hear "Don't worry about what you don't have.". That's a terribly important message man. Thanks again.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

And since you are talking about moving to a smaller space, you can now just worry about what you do have!

[@breenhue]

Hey mark nomad.. I just contact adhesive sandpaper on wen that velcro system fails..works fine for me..👍 😁

[@fabioquijote]

You’re an incredible inspiration and educator.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Fabio Jose Alvino Roca thank you. I appreciate that. Let me know if there is something you want to learn about. I'll add it to my list of possible videos.

[@captainahab5650]

A workshop tour! I love seeing people's shops!

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Captain Ahab Cripes Rich, when do you sleep. I'm crawling into bed right after publishing and you're probably 3 hours ahead of me.

[@captainahab5650]

Nomad Boatbuilding Sleep? What's that? Seriously though, this video is great! My shop is eons behind. I kind of feel ashamed of it now! Still watching it. Anyway, goodnight man. I'll hit the hay after this.

[@captainahab5650]

Nomad Boatbuilding oh man, if I ever get the money, I'm going to get one of those little Unimats! Thanks for a great, encouraging video man. I was ashamed of my shop just a few minutes ago . But that last bit got me. I feel proud of it now. Yeah, it's not the best. The roof leaks, and I'm addressing the flooding Everytime I find where the water comes in. I can't get the newest stuff, or the lumber I want, but; it's my shop. A hundred bucks at a time. One repair at a time. One build at a time. One tool at a time.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Captain Ahab that's right man. I started out in a carport with a tarp for a door. That $40 set of blue Marples chisels. Jackplane I found in a garbage pile and a manky old 1970's Black and Decker drill and mediocre handsaw. Since then I've had a lot of different shops but they all had challenges. No heat, too much heat, rats, leaks, no floor, wiring I had to work on hot. This shop has no ceiling hight but I make it useful. I store a ton of crap within arms reach in those floor joists overhead. You got a great shop and a but load of space outside. I'm jealous of that. It's yours and yes it needs work. You'll get where you want to be eventually. How about you make a plan to really clean up and organize just 50 square feet at a time, or less even. Think of it like that.

[@captainahab5650]

Nomad Boatbuilding that's a plan! Thanks for the idea!

[@makewhatyoulike119]

good advice🙂

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks! 🙂

[@SamGreenMaker]

Great video! It’s getting me excited to start on my new little home shop I’m working on!

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Samuel Green I look forward to seeing your tour Sam.

[@soylentgreen326]

Nice workshop tour. BTW superglue lasts longer in a airtight container (glass jar) with moisture absorbers. Think you should top up on clamps🕺🤸‍♀️🤦🏻 (joking) Liked the don’t be a don’t be be a do be and the very last clip, made a lot of sense 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Thanks for the tip!

[@soylentgreen326]

@@Nomadboatbuilding worth sharing can’t remember where l got the tip? 👍👍👍👍

[@thomashverring9484]

I love workshop tours! And, yes, I'm the biggest tool in my shop! :^| :^)

[@jasonhammond4640]

I don't know, but I think your a bit short on a couple clamps.😄😄 Awesome shop man.👍👍

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Always short of of least two.

[@misiumalowany]

Hello! Nice tour! Can you write something more about airfoil blower.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Sure. I built my system using a diy cyclone kit from Bill Pentz. The airfoil impeller is simply more efficient at moving air and therefor requires less horsepower to move a given quantity. As my shop is smallish and I had a good quality 2HP motor on hand I chose to go with that. I'm afraid I can't remember who made the impeller. It was a fabricator in Ontario, Canada. I got the source from Bill's website. I don't know if the link or reference is still there but here's the webpage explaining how to build the blower. billpentz.com/woodworking/cyclone/airfoil_blower.cfm The only drawback to the design that I have found is the inaccessibility to clean the impeller which does load up with fine caked on sawdust, especially if you work with damp and pitchy wood such as I do. I really need to think of a good way to solve this problem. As it is I do a partial teardown of the system every couple of years.

[@soylentgreen326]

Really interested in your airfoil impeller Mark??? Is it still centrifugal or axial flow???

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Centrifugal. Draws from the centre. I need to rebuild that thing so maybe we'll get a look inside sometime soon.

[@soylentgreen326]

@@Nomadboatbuilding that would be gooood 🕺🎉👍

[@dadzilla007]

I'm looking at this 4 years later and the sound track is largely missing.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

I could be that your sound settings are on mono. Some of these older videos had most of the sound going to just one track and some viewers experience what you just did. I should probably try to remaster that video. Thanks for letting me know.

[@Nomadboatbuilding]

Yup, I just checked it. The audio is only on the left channel except for some music.
