[@BrandonBélanger-y3j]

Very well organized!

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you!

[@NormCobbJrTourLife]

You're a whiz kid fabricator! What an awesome shop! Never seen such a diverse and extremely well organized collection of high quality tools & equipment. I'm in awe... 😮

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you very much, I appreciate you taking the time to comment

[@ArmouryTerrain]

Greetings from Brisbane, Australia. You have a very impressive shop where you have maximised all of your space. While I have a bigger shop - yours is much better organised for a good workflow.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you very much

[@Hollyoftheshire]

Dang! 😮 Very nice. So organized! Love the Harry Potter closet 👌🏻

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you, it definitely makes working a bit easier knowing where each tool is.

[@tpm4life]

Great.... Now I have to remodel my shop thanks lot.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

You are welcome.

[@noveltyepidemic]

Why is it so clean like a space laboratory? Wow! "Not overly tidy", my God, what's it like when it's tidy?

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thanks, I am a bit of a neat freak, it helps me to keep my concentration on my work.

[@keithbrock6410]

Man I’m digging that paint booth/dremel booth. I’m going to be making one of those for sure. Such a simple idea, but seems very effective

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thanks, it really works well. Give it a shot

[@lifeholdstrategic]

This was really cool. I have a small "SFX shop" in my garage and I'm always looking to see how other home shops are setup.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Glad you liked it!

[@BenjaminSchenk]

Legendary!! The Shea Prop workshop setup is a work of art in its own right. It makes you appreciate and understand the level of detail you bring to your pieces by seeing where they come from. Great video and thanks for the tour.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thanks Ben, I am glad you liked the video

[@codybaker1138]

This is insanely beautiful! Absolutely, otherworldly beautiful! Your layout is so well thought out! Your workshop is what my workshop wants to be when it grows up! I too have some slat wall. How do you keep your slat wall hooks on the wall when you pick up your tool? I bought some of those plastic black clips that twist onto the bottom of the hook face plate, but they don’t seem to work that well on our slat wall. They keep falling off too.

[@SomeSkillStudio]

Awesome workshop! I wish the ceilings in my garage shop were that high

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Yes, it is definitely helpful. The ceiling is 12’ / 3.66 Meters

[@XerachCruz]

Amazing workshop Mike!. We can finally see where you make your magnificent creations. :)

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you very much, I have been meaning to do this for a while. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

[@M1NDR34D3R]

Really well organized space! Thanks for sharing.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank You

[@dennismacwilliams196]

Glad I found you your shop is awesome

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you Dennis, I am glad you like it.

[@musicman2766]

You have an incredible shop!

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thanks Music Man

[@n2darkness]

Excellent shop tour Mike! Looks like a great place to work. First thing that came to mind was, how do you keep it so clean? I would think anything on the router table would blast that entire tool wall with dust 🤣Also didn't know you did car audio, I've done all of my own installs for decades now. So you must build custom enclosures and speaker boxes? Look forward to seeing more and I'm sure others will to.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thanks, I have dust collection below the router lift that creates a great amount of down draft, most of the time it does a really good job of capturing the debris and not scattering it all over the counter. I have also been into car audio since the early 90's, I do enjoy designing and building sub enclosures as well. Though over the years my taste has changed from SPL to Sound-Q.

[@mnight207]

I need you to come sort my 2 car shed workshop out. Its dedicated because we have an attached 2 car garage. Please lol

[@createmomentum]

Thanks for the tour! What lights do you have? Do you happen to have a model number?

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

For the overhead lights I have (6) LED highbays made by RAB Lighting, the model is H17XL, each light is 240 watts and the group of (6) is on a 0~10v dimmer, this way I can choose how much light I need.

[@PeteSudlow]

I love the layout, especially the drill press, sander and scroll saw on the French cleat wall. You said they were permanently mounted, does that help with the vibration while using them on the wall?

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Yes, I should have said semi-permanent. I made the mounts for the larger pieces like all the others with the exception that once I had the tools where I wanted then I drilled 4 holes and inserted lag bolts to hold the mount firmly against the wall. If I did want to relocate any of them I could remove the bolts and move the tool.

[@PeteSudlow]

@@MiddleEarthFanPa gotcha! Thanks for the reply. I think I might try something like that for my smaller tools.

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Sounds good, let me know if you have any questions, and good luck

[@creatd]

Very nicely done! What are the dimensions of your shop?

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Hello, the Shop dimensions are 15’ x 30’ (4.5 x 9 meters)

[@Maruszan]

Can't add much praise that hasn't already been said but I would love to know what the full text reads on that profound wife quote plaque 😂

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

It says, my biggest fear in life is that one day I will die unexpectedly, and my wife will sell all of my swords for the price I told her I paid for them. She had the plaque made for me.

[@multipurposechannel385]

Wooowwwww!!!🙄

[@MiddleEarthFanPa]

Thank you

[@jasonchancellor3766]

Jealous!
