5 Tips For A Small Wood Workshop - making the most of your space

[@guyh.4553]

Love the way you laid everything out. You have some great tips for us small shoppers.

[@thedabblingdiyer5842]

I got some ideas from this as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Swg5KIm9qcock

[@xawerytrabka8813]

"any size of workshop is so much better than not having one at all" that is a brilliant sentences! Excellent!

[@Polecat54941]

I am a in the garden rain or shine and pack it away each time guy

[@chemcody5119]

Great tips Keith. One of the things I like about your channel is that you make the most out what you have instead of complaining about what you don't have. Keep up the good work!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Chem Cody thanks Chem!

[@armandjaulin7576]

Chem Cody I

[@delasantos]

I agree - I find it appealing that you work within your limits of what you have and find and can afford instead of working with brand new tools.

[@evelynmueller6523]

well done. I'm in the process of 'designing' my future shed work shop with the space close to yours. The comments mentioned are the same realities I face currently without a shop. Drag tool outside, work and then pack them back all up to start over the next day...weather and temp permitting! Great job great tips!

[@thedabblingdiyer5842]

I was in the same boat. I ended up converting an old shed into a shop. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Swg5KIm9qcock

[@williamtate6268]

Nice shop. I’ve worked in professional wood shop close to 50 years in my family’s wood business and others and I found for me you will never have too much room. So being resourceful,as you have had to be, will always be key in how efficient, productive, and enjoyable the shop is. A guy just can’t hardly too organized. My bandsaw is on casters also. We cut pipe saddles for a pipeline company out of 10 by 10 Doug for so we actually spin the saw through the timber. Appreciate your video.

[@timv.4938]

Thanks I kinda get tired of all those guys that have large work shop and have all the cash they need for tools. I also have a small space. Great job on useing the space We need more guys showing how to work on a limited budget and small spaces.

[@PREDISGOD]

Tim V. Hopefully, I am starting a channel soon, with the first video series being "how to make a useable workshop space when sharing with the usual garden accoutrements!" Will gladly sub to this!

[@MichaelKitko]

This is why I decided to show my mobile table setup on KZbin. I also got tired of seeing unlimited budgets and huge shops...

[@atteljas]

Michael Kitko Thats it. Since watching this all my stuff is now on casters! Brilliant video!

[@mitchie7482]

Rag 'n' Bone Brown: Thanks for the video content! Excuse me for butting in, I would love your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Rassiff Amazing Woodwork Blaster (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a great one of a kind guide for woodworking plans minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got great success with it.

[@leoojtt]

Totally agree

[@againstthegrain147]

thank you so much for this video. YT is full of huge workshops crammed with all the tools known to man!

[@cybertree]

I recently got to work in a rather huge and "dreamlike" workshop, and I was surprised to find out that it wasn't actually my favorite way to work. You'd be surprised at how *overwhelming walking 12 feet for EVERY SINGLE TOOL, SCREW, AND PIECE OF WOOD can be.* And trust me that's not jealousy, or me being lazy. Sure you feel like you can breathe and build the side of a barn, but take into account the 20 foot mess you're making, staying in that "flow" of creativity, and most importantly TIME. It was so large I was nearly forgetting my measurements before I got to the next station lol!

[@Jesususetheclemster]

I have a one car garage that I use 5/8 for computer repair/storage and the remainder for woodworking/home improvement projects. Over the last two months, on the woodworking side of my space, I've been in the process you've been doing, that is, of making better use of what's available. The biggest problem I have is dust control because i don't have room for anything other than a shop vac. Lucky computers are just a hobby for me, but sawdust and electronics don't get along, so I'm constantly cleaning after my woodworking projects. That is an issue, I am thinking about now, as I start to work out the last improvements on the computer repair side of my space. It's fun to create a work space that fits your personal needs. Watching your video is great because it's nice to see what others have done and it gives me more ideas to think about. Thanks for sharing this video!

[@Clutterbug]

I love how much you made your own solutions in your workshop, you really maximized all the space you have!

[@KenPem]

I have a 9'x9' workshop area... with no walls! I took over the conservatory, which is open-plan off the lounge, so I've had to be really inventive with space usage. Two key things made it work: 1. Flip-top carts on castors. One holds my mitre saw, drill-press and band-saw. The other houses the jointer/planer, router-table and combination disk/belt sander. 2. Custom cabinets designed to exactly fit on the conservatory window sill. There's still not nearly enough space, and it's a constant frustration, as everything has to be moved around to get anything done. But it's better than no workshop at all. One day I'll have enough spare time (and money) to build a workshop shed, and your videos are a great inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@bighands69]

I would suggest that you start planning to build your workshop using your woodworking skills as the main foundation. If find the process daunting go online and find plans/specs for building a workshop. Every woodwork skill you have can go into the process and you can improve your skills as well. I have built my self several workshops. Money is not your obstacle at the moment just your desire to start the process. Also sell your woodwork project to fund it and swap people some of your projects for things that you need. There is a whole community out there waiting for you.

[@tommysts1920]

My work shope is only 10 feet by 14 feet, so I am in the same boat as you buddy. But, I really like it more and more the better I get it organized. I have recently made 3 slide outs with heavy duty ball bearing drawer slides. I now can pull out my chop saw, drill press, and belt sander when I need them for longer pieces, esp. the chop saw! Love it! Next I am going to make a pocket storage compartment to house all my plastic shoe boxs, which are great for storing anything that will fit in them. I need a 35 pocket compartment and will hang it via the french cleat system to the wall behind my work bench. I like my small shop, because I can literally turn around and get a tool or put it back right away. My old shop was huge and wore you out walking all over the place looking for a tool or piece of equipment. My saw is the Bosh 4100 on wheels. When nice outside I can wheel it to the pation and work plus hook it up to my homemade dust vac. system via a long 2 and 1/2 inch hose sys. Works great! I can also hook it up to my bandsaw, chop saw etc. The vac. sys saves a lot of clean up!

[@SirWulfrick]

The area I'm setting up is maybe 50% longer (19.25ft x 9.16ft) but is currently my entry way or "mud room" so the front door is on one end and the "inside doorway" is on another wall, so I have two doorways and a path to contend with as well (plus the washer and dryer, lol). But you gave me some great ideas to work with. The hanging tools behind you gave me an idea of peg boards with "rails" and "slots" on the top and bottom so they could slide left and right and expose other peg boards of tools. Not only cover the walls in tools but cover them in a few layers of walls of tools. lol. Thanks for the tips!

[@dannybaker2763]

I really like going back and watching the old vids. It shows the growth of the channel, and indeed yourself, and it also ahows the hourney us mere mortals could embark upon.😊

[@Nickpaintbrush]

Nice video,I started with a 8x12 ft shed then recently joined another one to it,end on. Yes its true,the bigger the space,the more stuff you find to fill it up!

[@atteljas]

This is such a breeze of fresh air. I picked up good things from here like putting things on casters!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+atteljas thank you!

[@bobbeeding8384]

Nicely done. Love your out of the box thinking. I'm just getting into wood working, when I got a new 8 by 10 shed a year ago this month, half was for tools, half for gardening. Now as I add tools, I am constantly moving things. Good shadowboard. I have everything labeled, use a shadowboard and my goal is nothing touches the floor unless it is a wheel or a leg. Makes cleanup easy. My shed is tall, I build a loft to hold wood, the flooring of it is 6 by 8 feet, so I will figure out how to utilize it to hold other items as I go along. You used the rules of frequency to hang your tools. That's some good 5S. I'll never get as much stuff as you, my shed is too small and my wife tells me I'm lucky it's that big because it started out in planning as a 5 by 7. Nice job anyway!

[@northidahoguy5549]

I’m planning to revamp my shed into a small workshop. I’m using my shed for car repairs, but your tips are practical and useful for any small workplace. Thanks!

[@ScreamingEagleFTW]

Hes right. Not having a workshop sucks. I think your workshop is more than adequate and you take a lot of pride in it. Well done and thanks for the tips.

[@1TrueDenesha]

I really like how you have utilized all the available space in your workshop. Love your tool assortment. We don't have those brands in the US, but I would wager, they are above average from what we use here.

[@waynebartlett7935]

Hi RaBB, nice to come across a fellow brit (Welshman !) who is working from a small space, I'm 62, and working from a 12' x 8' garden shed, it's big enough for what I want, as I'm a hoarder !. I must admit that I'm envious of how tidy and organised your workshop is. I have just subscribed to your channel, so I look forward to watching more of your (well made) videos. Regards, Wayne.

[@SqueakyGoose]

I have a 3x6 M workshop and its a Total Dump site currently. I keep changing my mind, but i think your idea of putting everything on rollers would be the best way to maintain it. I constantly build benches to put stuff on but the space very quickly gets unusable. Great idea with folding sides for longer pieces of timber. Thanks for the Video.

[@adrianbrooks686]

Nice video. Nice to see someone from England for a change.

[@spendtimesavemoneydiy]

Nice video! I ran a furniture making company out of a 8' x 16' garage for years! Can be frustrating but manageable! I also used metal strapping to suspend timber from the ceiling for more storage! Just bought a house with a huge garage so I'll be making a hobby workshop in it soon! Thanks 👍🏼

[@SeanOchoa]

Man. You are SO organized. I really appreciate your setup.

[@chrishachet8622]

Nice layout on your workshop, seems very efficient for its size.

[@brentfowler2317]

Well done making the best of the space you have. I have a celler, thats about 1/4 the size of your shop. But I'm always working to make it work better. And make it all the way around more functional. Thanks for the video. Gives me a few good ideas.

[@guyh.4553]

Thank you for the realist video! 😊😊😊 A couple of tips that we use (my dad & I) in his shop & garage. 1) A Black & Decker Workmate. Almost indispensable! 2) 1st take the tablesaw fence off. Then, take a piece of plywood, frame it onto the top of the table. New additional space & easy storage. 3) I made a tower to put my drill press, scroll saw, router table, etc. in. When I need to use one of the tools, I slide it out, clamp it to the work bench, & when done slide it back in out of the way. Hope that helps! Great job!

[@stevenholden9520]

Thanks for the tips, and I fully agree with your comment about things changing. I'm just in the process of remodelling my 2.4m x 4.6m garage workshop for the umpteenth time. I'm certain it won't be the last.

[@369dusty]

Great presentation of utilizing a small area for your shop. I am in the same boat, but just thankful I do have something !

[@tobesawnagain8599]

Good info there Keith. I work out of a 10x8ft shed, so I know about working in a tight space! Like you, I have built my table saw stand on castors as well as a lumber storage rack. My chop saw is also on a fold down bench that can be collapsed if I really need the space. I feel another re-arrange coming on!

[@Nathan-H]

like the video mate its gave me a few ideas.. To return the favour............. Your tool wall above your work bench if you build a frame aver the area about 15cm deep and put doors on it, the put your your tools on the outside of the doors. that way when the doors are closed it will look as it does in the video, however opening the doors gives you a 6" deep area to hang more tools and the back (Inside) of the doors is also available.....

[@LoveZick]

Family Prepper Good tip.

[@vincepresto759]

Family Prepper I like that Idea and will use it in my shop !

[@user-in9xo6zo9p]

Family Prepper, why I love you tube.

[@mikez4999]

Smart

[@contessa.adella]

Brilliant....so a thin cupboard....with pegboard on the front...and you open it up to find another pegboard inside...Doubling your peg board area. Or shelving I guess.

[@TheCMLion]

Great ideas! I'm glad you mentioned to keep trying things... I set up my workbench and I'm not completely happy with it. I've thought about redoing it, but I keep thinking, "But I've done all this...!" I need to plan out a new system! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@colinaskey9777]

Hi Keith just watched your 5 Tips for a Small Workshop- making the most of your space,and it was a very a well made vidio,and your explanations were first rate,don't forget to take care,and stay healthy and happy.

[@kayaks48]

Nice. Very useful. Just moved from a home with a 20' x 22' (dream set up) to a 10 x 14 space, You gave me some excellent ideas on how I can save space, I used casters in the previous shop and will take advantage of them again. Thx

[@sirenwoodworkcreations1265]

Looks great and has given lots of good tips for my small workshop being built in the coming weeks.

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

As always you offer great information, thank you. My old work space was a leaky triangular shed 12x8x10 feet and 6.5 feet high. I added a 6x6 foot extension for a newly acquired lathe and a router station on wheels but really still needed more space. Now I've moved and the first thing that took my eyes was a wonderful "dry" garage I'm which I'm only starting to fit out with my old tools. First job will be electrics and plugs all around, 2nd job will be fitting in where possible an old kitchen units which I got 3rd hand, the work top is just brilliant and can't wait to use it. Lathe and router station have found their homes as have my bench, I've got to fit some ply on the walls for tools and most important lights. 1 door at one end and the garage door at the other and a window midway down one side..(it's a double garage with neighbours). The ceiling has already been insulated with foam spray which cuts down a lot of moister build up. Once all done it should be very well used and I can't wait to get in and start...(hate winter time with its short days)...

[@vincepresto759]

Well at 61 being disabled I got the Woodworking Itch and for a complete Summer n Fall I work out back under a Tarp. My Work bench was a stack of Pallets. Main problem was the weather when She decided to rain I had to carry everything valuable inside which then had to deal with the Wife ! Now at 62 we moved in with a Daughter and we bought a 10’x 20’ shed. Yes Small but very thankful of its size and I cut in a 28”x 80” Patio Glass Door Horizontally Just Above Bench Height so when we are going out for the weekend my table folds up and locks in blocking the window. Small shop is easy to clean and you can turn around and grab any tool ya need just about ! I LOVIT

[@scottyagnesak3277]

Great job with your organization skills to maximize the space in a relatively small shop. Great tips! I’ve used just about all of them as my shop is about the same size. One idea I like and will incorporate is tracing the tools where they are hung on the wall. I recently upgraded my workbench to a 52 inch (not sure what that is in metric. Lol) Milwaukee rolling unit with 11 soft closing drawers of various sizes. This provides a large work surface and keeps my often used tools at my fingertips. It has added an element of organization to the shop that had previously eluded me. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one with limited space. Thanks for sharing.

[@Brando1667]

Love your workshop. I only have a 10'x8' shed so I've got my work cut out for me (pardon the pun) to get everything i want in there. I guess it will become obvious when i reach that point. I will have a great time working it all out and then doing the work though. Thanks for your video.

[@thehobbyist3301]

Thanks for the tips! It is indeed a challenge to find the most optimum layout for your shop in a small space.

[@michaelevans1658]

Great tips Kieth ,a workshop is always evolving. I have a 12x 16 ft shop and i find the biggest problem is cutting large sheet goods down, so when ever possible i get them cut at my local timber store makes things so much easier especially as i only have a Nissan Micra to get it home in. All my tools on castors apart from the battery drill LOL .

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Michael Evans haha I feel your pain! :-)

[@wucebrillis8622]

Wauw man, loved watching your video, I've been having the same problem. I've been working outside for years, decided 2y ago to use the few space I have with a roof. But been investing in more and more tools and my space is getting smaller and smaller. Love how you solved things, deffently going to use some tips, thanks man

[@tonyrigger]

You make great use of a small area mate, well done.

[@izenteno78]

great tips! my shop is exactly the same size as yours, but mine is a lot more cluttered, this will help me a lot! thanks for sharing!

[@dgale1023]

Thank you, I have a shop not big but not too small BUT I need to make everything more mobile easy to get to. Thanks a lot now I have to get started.

[@miketownsend6108]

In improvements will never end take from a old man . good job

[@Freddy-dg7dh]

I've got a small room in our basement I can use. My plan is to use the place much better to get more space I can use for new tools for example. With this video, I got many new ideas about how to use the space and what thinks to build for saving space.Thanks!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+frxble thanks, glad it helps

[@LoveZick]

Wow! Having read many of the comments about how small their spaces are, I should feel so much more blessed for what I have. My dad got a property on which he built a 4 storey house. He has granted me, a year ago, the first storey to build my woodworking shop! I first though I would rather had him help me buy other piece of land to build my own house and big shop. But I know that's currently out of my/our possibilities. The space in the shop is a little less than 4 meters by 8 metres. It's a rectangular shape shop. It's nearly 32 m2 I now realise, that even being a small space, I should be really glad and thankful to have such a space for me to start my own woodworking business. And I am. I'm currently working on conditioning the shop (cleaning, painting, installing a big door and windows) and working on the design of the space available. There's a 7 x 2 metres patio on one side of the house that I might take too. Haha I'm building my shop by watching many videos of woodworkers on KZbin. Getting so many ideas and learning so much! All I try is to build and organize a woodworking shop that is organized and functional for it to be productive. I already have mostly all the tools and machines I'd like. Lots of work to do! Thanks to all good woodworkers! Thanks to my dad too! And thanks to God Almighty for my parents! Cheers from Peru!!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Good luck with the new shop, sounds fantastic!

[@1habicher]

Sonny You are so organised that it becomes to me to do so much better! I have the space under cover but non of the wall storage organised like You have achieved. Well done! I will try to improve along Your suggestions. I would have a job for You in Australia or two or three!

[@fathogwoodworking]

Some great storage ideas Keith. It’s also great to see how far you and the Chanel have come. Well done.

[@fiziwig]

Lots of good tips. I have an 8' x 8' shop with an adjoining 4' x 8' storage shed, and I need to figure out how to work with that.

[@Lorddarthvader1701]

Great tips, I have a 100 Sq. Ft shed that is 10ft tall, I built lofts around inside and have it pretty decent, actually enough to allow a motorcycle lift to be inside that doubles as a bench in the winter months.

[@WithTheGrain527]

very well organised! my shop is tiny as well, its tough to make it work, but not impossible.

[@SteveMonk1956]

Just watched this Keith, boy you have come a long way since this. 👍

[@zenvarley]

One thing I've seen a lot of lately are flip top stands for tools. So you can have two or more tools in the same space. They look handy for less frequently used tools. Also, just wanted to say I really enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing them!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Michael M (Zenvar) thanks Michael. I like the flip top stands they're brilliant, I've seen a few you tubers making them and I wouldn't rule out me trying to make one in the near future

[@Bountyji]

Excellent video. Thanks for making it well structured and useful

[@mohameddocrat5474]

Thank you for the tour. There are always interesting ideas people come up with for their shops and it is useful to see what others have done which I may be able to use.

[@damianadams7101]

Well impressed, very good use of space. Considering setting up my own workshop with lathe. Bit of space to get away from everything else.

[@kathleenbasieiwcz4636]

I love you informative video. I have just started creating my workshop. I only have and 8X10 space so wall space is a premium. I don't have as many tools at you, but I have managed to put 2 drill press and a grinder on one table top with casters. There is a base for storing power tools. Made sure that the drop cords are hung above to assure plenty of space for rotating it. Used a 2 door cabinet as a workbench for 3 years and it is nice to have some space to semi-retire that for something more stable. Use my wall space to hang lots of tools and build shelves for drill bits etc. I also plan to put my table saw on a table with casters and I will be able to push it up to my workbench. Thanks a lot.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

+Kathleen Basieiwcz thanks Kathleen good luck with setting up your space

[@russmuncy]

Thank you for sharing. My shop is almost the same size. You gave me some good ideas.

[@melissabarron1574]

Awesome job. I like the outlines of tools. That would help my husband and I put things back in the right spot. Note husband🙄

[@hollyfraccaro8752]

I love this, great idea to outline tool w/sharpie! I have a 100sq ft shed that I'm going to convert, at least temporarily, as my workshop. I'll likely never want a lathe, but I also want something much larger, so your space has given some hope to make due. North Carolina has decent weather a good 10 months out of the year, so I'm lucky in that way!

[@me-cq7wv]

Liked the pop up table. Very handy indeed. Top marks good on ya

[@wilkbor]

First of all, thanks for an inspirational video about making the most of limited space. I intend to set up a small shop soon and will use these principals. One thing you did not mention that I will likely do is integrate a router table in with an assembly table/outfeet table. My plan is to roll it down below the surface of the table when not in use. Thanks again for the video.

[@tensquaremetres4580]

A small workshop is definitely better than no workshop, or so I would imagine ☺ You could definitely make a good small, portable/removable router table.

[@salarbutt9617]

NICE SETTING. IT SHOWS YOUR GENIUS MIND WORKING. BE HAPPY.

[@vancehamilton1934]

Great use of space. My garage/workshop is bigger, but I'm still trying to find ways of maximizing space. You have some great ideas. My biggest problem is assembly area. Once I start assembling its near impossible to wheel my tools out. I have to make sure everything is cut before hand.

[@inactive67]

Ok thumbs up just for the metric conversion. I do have a suggestion for your shop, where the planer slides in, add some rub rails to guide the cart through the cutout.

[@OAK_MTN]

Great video and inspiring workshop! Thanks for sharing!

[@RobKies76]

Great use of space! You've definitely thought outside the box and have been very resourceful; I love how everything has a place and a place for everything. I can even appreciate your implementation of some 5S techniques in your workshop (aka - outlining your tools to quickly identify when something is missing). If you never heard of 5S... I highly suggest researching it; I'm sure it could help improve your organization skills even further. Keep up the awesome work!

[@handyjim]

very nice some good idea's there, i'm forever changing my workshop around that's just a one car garage

[@miamitreasurehunter]

I wish I had all you have on your cool workshop. Nicely done Mate !!

[@Waltorian]

Outstanding use of space, I have a 10'X 12" with a loft and your video has some fantastic ideas..Thank you, subscribed ofcourse

[@Finlandiabeach]

Looks great! A lot of thought went into using what space you have!

[@cameronmcarthur9951]

First Viewing and all I can Say is wow!. I am 64 years old and you are an inspiration on how I can improve my work space. It seems to be a life long battle to find the space we need. You have done well in such a short time. I use my Lathe but it is on a flip top table with sanding and sharpening machines, mostly sharpening machine machines for tools in use are uppermost. Best tip I can give you is just to follow KZbin because there are a lot of people out there with great ideas, but great video and thank you for sharing, teaching an old dog new tricks.

[@classic287]

My shop is 3.04m x 4.57m, so it's just about the same as yours. Yours looks 95% better than mine however. You've just given me a kick in the butt, and I'm going to clean up and reorganize my shop. You've shown me that a small shop doesn't have to be a nightmare like mine. I have a couple of things on casters, but I will use that sort of thing more. Thanks for this video...I have subscribed...

[@bighands69]

Do research on the lean or toyota manufacturing too see if you are able to develop a better and more efficient workshop.

[@gingeringo]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I especially like the simple fold out pop up support table for the mitre saw. subscribed.

[@oglaz]

Good job . It looks like XXL tool box:) I just picked few ideas from this video.thanks

[@MichaelKitko]

Mate, I must say thank you for the good video. It truly is refreshing to see a workshop normal sized. I am not a fan of the guys with unlimited budgets gloating. With that said, I have switched over to going more mobile like you said you were at first and after two years of fighting multiple mobile bases, I went and added them all to one workbench that fits through my basement door. My video showing this, not even close to your quality, shows setup at about 5 minutes, feel free to skip as needed. Again, thank you for the good video.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Thanks for the tips. I'm currently thinking I need to rearrange my shop to make the most use of the space I have.

[@brianmarcum5180]

I think your tips were very helpful my shop Is a bit smaller than your...so thanks from the USA mate!

[@paulstir]

Great tips ( I’m just about to build mine !! ) limited space , just suggestion put the casters on telescopic( locking ) legs

[@dskirkpa55]

Hi. Thanks for the hints and tips. I've just completed my own workshop come man cave and my next task is to organize my power and hand tools . Thank you.

So I also have a small workshop and I think that you may be missing an opportunity I’ve started using Spring clamps and putting tools on the rafters things like rakes shovels painting stats etc. clearly you have a Lotta good ideas for using small areas this is just one that has worked for me. I am also a big fan of the French cleat it’s opened up a lot of other opportunities for me to be More organized as well as use my creativity. With a French cleat you’re only really limited by your creativity and what you can do.

[@williamhsewardiv5742]

being from across the pond, i own a shopsmith, my shop is about 10'x12' not sure if they were ever sold out of the US but it does everything

[@TheReconPrepper]

Thats what she said LOL :) Love it!!!! I think its what we have become accustom to and how well its organized. I think we could create the largest workshop ever and eventually we would still fill it and make it full.

You have a great site that I will visit often. I have always loved working with my hands as I love to sew and quilt which also requires measurements and fitting items together. Thank you for a wonderful site. LindaLou usa

you are certainly utilizing your space well

Great ideas and good info for me to use. Keep up the good work.

I watched with interest because I have a big shed but 1/2 is stacked with my daughters crap when they moved interstate. I'm not sure of your budget but the planer could have a hydraulic lift to bring it to the height you wish. I always wanted a router table and found a base that holds a full sized Makita router. It would fit in with your shed perfectly. It has a plate that gives plenty of stability and only cost $80 (Australian) - about 36 pounds I think. It fits perfectly under my woodwork bench. I'm the same as you in that I'm always looking for tips to maximise space usage....from downunder.👍

I don't have much more than that but I am obviously not using space to best advantage. Thanks for the vid

[@JPinFuerteventura]

Some good ideas I will make use of. Thanks.

[@johnticehurst7270]

Very useful thank-you. My workshop is of a similar size to yours. My biggest headache is off cuts of ply - all different sizes and hard to optimise space with it.

Really enjoyed your video. Well thought out solutions and looks great to boot!

Great info bro!! Im just about 5 weeks into this wood building thing, as I am a sheetmetal worker 😅. Anyway, I have a 2 car garage and I'm in the process of building a work table. At first I thought I'm definitely making it a 4' x 8' table. But I stumbled upon the available space. Just my luck. So I decided on a 5' x 3' table. We'll see how it goes.

thanks for making your video. Plenty of useful ideas there, lots of food for thought. "Less is more" .... apparently!

[@DoAndBrewDIY]

Howdy Keith! Thanks for the great tips! I also do all my wood work in my backyard and know exactly what you’re talking about...a small shed-shop is better than working in the rain! New sub - look forward to your future videos.

I liked the set up of your workshop. You should bring out video how set up lighting system in your workshop that would be great
