My Woodshop is done!

[@andygullion5182]

Ron, we love you. I won't go change an outlet cover without my trailer. There is so much value in knowing what I have, and what I don't have as I head to work. I'm doing a 250,000 dollar remodel right now, and the client said my trailer you inspired went a long way in who he chose. I can't stress enough to other contractors the need to get organized and break free ....free from chasing parts, digging for drill bits , wasting time and struggling to make ends meet. Free to create and solve problems, free to capture opportunities. I think you do this from a sincere desire to help others and to give back. I hope guys learn, most clients don't pay them more to take longer. To waste time is to waste life itself. Thanks for being a giver Ron, and not a taker.

[@RoyatAvalonFarms]

The only thing I want to know is, who are the 55 idiots who gave this a Thumbs Down and why. Ron, this is amazing as has been all of the vids and projects you've done. Thanks.

[@m3chanist]

Ron you are a bloody legend with such a generous spirit. Damn fine work as usual, you're a real source of inspiration. Thank you for once more sharing and paying the penalty in time. I love my workbench which yours inspired and it's spun off into one organisational solution after another, the benefit has been enormous for my workshop, its gone from pain to pleasure, and the credit is all yours.

[@davidmatke248]

I can't believe how quickly you went from selling ART to having the Smart Woodshop completely finished. I thought this was going to be a much much longer process. Very impressive!

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

It took 10 times longer because of the video production;0)

[@gerardmckinnon6348]

[@jwkooi1979]

Great, love it. It sounds like a goodbeye video. I hope i doesnt stop after the build series. Also because of the empty space and the fact the place might be sold. I love your videos so please keep inspiering me/us. Gr from Holland

[@John28530]

You have to weigh the original work bench compared to your newest bench build

[@markpalmer5311]

Spectacular! Seriously inspiring. Can't wait to see the series. Thank you, Ron, for your energy and sharing your experience.

[@mdtippett]

I had a concern about spreading while building these cabinets, so I added that spreader in the middle. My jig is slightly different than yours because I used ballbearing bits, but it worked the same way.

[@plunder1956]

I noticed that a lot of woodworkers from America & Canada work in sandals, thongs and light shoes with zero protection. Which seems weird to many Europeans. Even 50 years ago; traditional Danish workers used clogs (which are pretty good at resisting nails from below). Can you explain why you don't use safety shoes?

[@MrBrianDuga]

Great job. Can't find that Ultralight anywhere in Mass by the way. Lowes doesn't carry it locally. Too bad, looks like a great product.

[@sperrtechnik]

Hi Ron, really like your Solutions... i made a Drawer for Locksmith purposes witch quickly became heavy so i glued 2 Stripes of ABS Plastik on each side of the bottom of the Drawer and the same for the Base and to Lube real Silicon grease not oil !! You won´t believe how easy a 180 pound Drawer will slide with this System. Greetings from Germany

[@TheOneWhoMightBe]

I am dead-set amazed that you managed to get everything off the shelves and into the trailer. It's incredible how much space a given amount of 'stuff' will fill if you let it. By coincidence, I was downstairs in the garage this afternoon hanging some battery chargers off a new storage rack, and putting castors on a tool cabinet (so that I can get rid of my own wall of adjustable metal shelving). Looking forward to the video series. I should force my FIL to sit down and watch it. Maybe that'll inspire him to clean up the brothel that is his work trailer. :)

[@barbaralarson4137]

Body mechanics are not good. Check with a physical therapist. It will save your back.

[@HANDYMANHEADQUARTERS]

Ron what do you use to get all your tools into the house efficiently? I am trying to find the best way to be mobile seeing as how sometime I am inside, outside in the front yard, side, and back.

[@WoodUCreate]

I was thinking you needed two things. A ladder rack of some type to actually hold a ladder, long materials, etc and a fire extinguisher mounted somewhere near the rear of the trailer possibly.

[@MB-tx6bt]

Great stuff. I'm planning my trailer build and very much appreciate and admire your work. Thanks for posting! One question -- Why two table saws?

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

I find two helps my productivity. It is really helpful when I want to set up on with a dado stack.

[@plunder1956]

Have you considered adding an awning to the trailer for sun and rain shielding while working outside.

[@bobsadogtoo]

Really liked this build. Very detailed. I like your builds and that you take the time to explain the products that you use. Will be watching for the tour video. Great job Ron Paulk!!!

[@lissajousmake]

It' s awesome!!!!! Do you have a very good workshop for enjoy the art of the wood. I like it very much!!!!

[@stevegaymer9764]

Well done! I appreciate all your hard work and organizational skills. I may use many of these ideas for my own shop at home, as one arm of my L shaped shop is the size of your trailer and is in dire need of reorganization, shelves, drawers, etc. Looking forward to seeing what is in those drawers.

[@covertops.]

Wow! Completely amazing and inspirational! Lean, mean, portable, and clutter-free organization. You have set the benchmark. You are truly my hero...no joke. And thank you for letting us in on the tools and equipment that you use and have in your Amazon shop. I really deeply appreciate all that you do for us.

[@cgmojo3370]

Congratulations on completing this amazing project. Looks great! Very much looking forward to seeing the construction videos for it. Glad you waited to release until the end as I'm sure that helped with keeping the build at maximum quality!

[@HBSuccess]

Amazing Ron. You are organized the way I dream of being organized. When I was still on-site I worked out of a utility body truck and did have a pretty good system -but still had to constantly load/unload which was a royal pain.

[@johnnyhimburg6652]

Great job your video has been very helpful. I'm now going to remodel my trailer. Thanks again for the video

[@rickmaudlin2160]

Looks Great! I'll check out your Amazon link when I need to buy.

[@mikemcdonald5147]

Hes RON PAULK ron paulk ron paulk LOL ECHO echo echo :)

[@jhamby8773]

Have you put a rear camera on the trailer, yet? Any plans to add exterior work lights? I bought a 12ft last week for my Fence Staining company, currently planning and building.

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Josh Hamby I returned the back up camera as I deemed it unnecessary now that I have the Trailer Valet. I also decided to not bother with exterior light in favor of my battery Festool Worklights. I am keeping it simple.

[@gregorylondos534]

Congratulations on Finishing your Latest Trailer Ron... Great Job, you should be Proud... Enjoy...! Greg

[@tellstar1795]

Love this but if you had this in the uk 1 you would stuggle to park it,2 gypsies would steal the whole trailer.

[@Brandon_Balentine]

4:00 he opens the trailer.

[@joshuac1364]

Congratulations on your project coming together! If I were in your line of work, this would clearly be the way to go

[@mururoa7024]

Maybe I missed an episode or two, but I need to ask: why do you have such a huge garage?

[@bobbybob3679]

First mistake!! The kettle should be at the entrance. Can't do a job without it.

[@6508007]

Wondering why you don't have a tile and painting contractor that does that work for you.

[@bushman4124]

you must be proud as hell now it is finished, well done i wish i had that talent , can't wait till you let us see how everything works etc.

[@nuckkingfuts]

Damn Ron , that thing looks awesome !!! I'm sure someone is going to try and make you an offer.... Thanks for the videos they are well put together.

[@DaveMovold]

good job Ron, please come up here to Canada, And finish mine :)

[@jaredsmith88]

just stack the dewalt bins when you make the press cart and it'll all still fit in the 12'er

[@crouton976]

Congrats, Ron! I know that a few other people have asked about plans. Have you considered possibly releasing plans for just the things that were different in SMART vs ART? Things like the jig and a detail drawing of the drawer stack sides? I know that it would help those who maybe purchased plans for ART, but would like to implement some of the methods you used in SMART, plus it would be less time in SketchUp for you. Again, congrats on getting SMART up and running! I've been watching your channel since the PWBII video, and have been amazed at your creativity, and thankful for the inspiration! Keep on doing what you do!!

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

If I decide to embark on a set of buildable Smart Plans, they will be a complete stand alone set. After building Smart, there are a lot of bugs to work out on the plans.

[@staceymosher227]

I just started to use your plans for my trailer. Tool garage, level storage and viewtainer shelves done.

[@dannys2561]

Ron do you have an email address for specific questions regarding your plans?

[@cameronwilkinson8548]

Ron- What compressor do you use? Can you recommend one? I don't see one in your Amazon store.

[@m3rdpwr]

If only we could all be that organized. No excuse for my single car garage now.

[@jleigh330]

Happy for you! Thanks for the videos. Admire the way you work!

[@dpeagles]

I'd like to see the empty weight vs loaded weight of the trailer. Will be interesting.

[@warrenrenshaw7227]

Thanks for the peek, Love It! Particularly looking forward for the storage and organization stuff. Warren

[@rljatl]

Ron, what did you do with the rolling shelves and flip top boxes? BTW, how did you get the flip top boxes to fit between the shelves? Mine are a very tight fit. [Edited to remove Costco tool chests. Forgot you said they were sold.]

[@m3rdpwr]

Rob J. He mentioned the Costco tool chests were out on CL and sold in a day.

[@jeffzanin5503]

Nice job Ron, looking forward to the build series and also the "organization" drop-ins.

[@mattcartwright8272]

Kaizen Genius Mode ! - Epic achievement Ron.

[@johnberchielli672]

Really impressive job , I love how neat and organised it is. I have a van and am forever trying new racking systems. You sir have nailed it. 👍👍

[@patcyclist8185]

When will the plans for Smart Woodshop be available?

[@robertw.1499]

Respect Buddy, absolute respect. A true artisan :-)

[@bernievandermerwe9475]

Weldone Ron, hope you have many kilometers of safe travel. Looks amazing, so well organized. Love It.

[@n3lud]

Congratulations Ron. Looking forward to the series.

[@ksp1278]

That is the most impressive trailer I have seen so far. Looking forward to the build series.

[@manthonychavez]

Congrats, it looks awesome and so well put together. Also, what sandals are those? And what gloves do you use while working?

[@manthonychavez]

I'd love to hear more about non-tools that you like, like utility clothing, tech stuff, etc.

[@TheHowtoDad]

this is cool. i hope you have your trailer gps tracked and have a really good lock...there are a lot of eggs in that basket

[@jo31b]

Can you add your tongue weight in the description?

[@donaldshulman6771]

Hey Ron - I have seen other you tube creators that have shops in their 2 and 3 car garages, and still don't have enough space. Your shop is much smaller and it looks great. How many Smart Woodshops can fit into a 2 car garage?

[@mike93lx]

Donald Shulman lets be fair, this is a storage trailer, not a workshop. He still relies on the customer's home/garage/yard for workspace.

[@TheRetiredtech]

Michael Rodgers exactly

[@gregcoste5332]

trailer looks great .. looking forward to the weigh in .. is there a figure(lbs) for ART?

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

ART was a tic under 5,000#

[@perogi21]

Anyone else having a hard time using Ron's store on Chrome? I am not able to see the products.

[@perogi21]

Solution: Adblocker was blocking the URLs. I had to turn it off for them to download.

[@twilocki]

This is amazing but I hope you have a complete inventory of what's inside, cause when someone steals that trailer your screwed. And I'm sure your saying "I always leave it hooked up to may truck". Remember, if they want it, they will get it. Good luck on your insurance claim.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Frank, I saw the title of your video and initially thought "yea, doesn't sound that interesting." I'm an idiot! This whole video was absolutely brilliant!!! Not only the woodworking, but the story telling and recording of your family event and Nature's own story. Excellent job. I love being wrong!

[@mfcarpino]

Wow! You sure cleaned out the garage. But what happened to the Costco toolboxes?

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

All three Costco boxes went on CL and sold in 1 day;0)

[@mikewest9086]

Your Amazon store doesn't work! I'm using the Chrome browser, and it's just blank when it opens.

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Chrome blocks pop ups unless you allow it. The the only browser we have had problems with is Chrome.

[@mikewest9086]

Just found that out, when I switched to FireFox!

[@davidrioux5488]

Congratulations Ron! Excellent finished product.Every trailer keeps getting better. Thank you for sharing the history of all your trailers and building of ART. Learned a lot from you along the way. Looking forward to the new series on Smart and reviewing the changes from ART. Your journey has been most interesting and impressive. Thanks for your time.

[@HP-fs9nq]

Two thumbs up mate! Awesome work.

[@SuperAudionut]

Awesome job!!! Take a moment to celebrate.

[@antonioibanez4108]

Where can I find the plans for a SMART wood shop? Thx

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

There are no plans for SMART, but you can get ART plans here: stores.modularmarket.com/paulk_homes/

[@davidrioux5488]

Looking forward to a post on your final GVW.I never thought of asking you before, but wish you could have weighed your trailer before loading it. Three values would be really interesting to see a weight for raw trailer, empty with cabinets, and loaded with tools.

[@whitevanman8703]

A quick video when you start on site would be interesting please. It's been interesting following your SMART build, many thanks.

[@davidkelly8632]

Thanks for the videos; all awesome. I'm taking your wisdom and advice to heart, incorporating some things into my own routine as a handyman. Are you giving up the miter station for the total station? I haven't heard you mention the miter station for the SMART workshop. Cheers, David

[@michaeldahn9254]

Hey Ron, I just wanted to say that I really love the videos that I have seen of yours. I'm currently in the process of setting up my 20 ft. trailer and will definitely be using some of your setups. I did have a couple of questions about where you got the two big rolling tool boxes for your tile saw and paint equipment and what brand they are. I would like to do something similar and have a big MK tile saw that I would like to fit in it. Also, I had a question about security and insurance for the trailer and was wondering if you had any tips on that. Not sure if you have any insurance or not, but as you know these tools are our livelihood and having them on a trailer makes me more than a bit nervous without some safeguards in place. I have some ideas in mind such as GPS trackers hidden in multiple places etc. however if the worst were to happen how are you covered? Thanks again

[@Dutch1954]

I'm new to woodworking, so what you've gotten done is WAY over my head, to say the least, but I subbed today and hope to pick up a lot of do's, don'ts and ideas from you. Thanks and Best Wishes

[@hubbalc]

I'm so impressed and, to be honest, motivated every time I see something new you come up with. Always well thought out and as efficient as you can think to make it. I bought plans for the Paulk 2 and it's made my woodworking hobby so much better and enjoyable. Thanks for all you do and the time you put into your projects.

[@chipshot442]

Looks fantastic Ron, great job. I can't believe you have squeezed everything in that workshop trailer. Well done. Keep the videos coming

[@m3rdpwr]

I need me that FlexZilla.

[@RetrotechCNC]

And another job well done!

[@covertops.]

Ron, I have never heard you mention anything about trailer awnings for working during rainy weather. What is your opinion on them, be they fixed aluminum ones that swing out and up or the kind that roll up. Wouldn't that enhance the utility of the trailer?

[@MalchiaTC]

Ron, I'm a hobby woodworker and recently came across your videos. I'm amazed at your ingenuity and efficiency. Good work and keep it up.

[@kenjones2819]

got smart, huh? no more leased space?

[@noeffnwaypal]

So what did you do with the two large steel tool boxes that you bought? I am assuming everything you had in those are now in the trailer? Great job by the way!

[@youratube333]

How much hight do you have inside the trailer?

[@TheSmartWoodshop]

Inside usable space is 6'6" If I were to order a new trailer, I would add at least 3" or maybe 6" to it.

[@Warren3carpentry]

When i ordered my trailer they told me it had 6’6” inside. It only had 6’2” when i got it very disappointing especially because i am 6’2”.

[@wildbill23c]

Looks great Ron. I wouldn't mind having a cargo trailer to store all my tools rather than having them stored in various locations around the property making it a chore just to complete a project as I spend more time running around chasing tools LOL.

[@slvhandyman4256]

Great Job Ron! Love your videos. Do you need an apprentice? You are the kind of carpenter I want to be. Keep making videos! Very inspired by you!

[@zer013]

Looks amazing. I can't wait for the full series!

[@ttfweb1]

I really like the flexzilla hoses.

[@Sixcats4ksu]

Wow! Desolate shop walls are at wonderful backdrop and visual statement.

[@9and7]

Congratulations and well done!

[@martincbestino880]

Well done. Could you let us know the weight of the trailer empty, and the weight of the trailer full of tools? Thanks

[@customcamans]

Is there a mitre saw fixed in the trailer?

[@MikeMerzke]

Awesome job Ron! Thank you very much for sharing this with us. I can't wait to watch the build videos when you release them. Keep up the good work!

[@javiermendoza4265]

THIS IS THE BEST VIDIO I HAVE EVER SEEN, DO YOU HAVE A PLAN FOR A TRAILER OF 6X10 NOSE WITH RAMP?

[@andrewwalker3275]

Hi yes I like what you have done with the trailer I thought about this myself but having a van is Easy for me has parking in street and housing estates and to lock up is Easy as with the gear would just walk

[@williamharris9708]

any idea when plans will be available?

[@ottomatic0]

I bet he irons his underwear.

[@qlandry2997]

my guess is 6124 lbs

[@SteveFrenchWoodNStuff]

That's a great looking setup.

[@raymundo7687]

Awesome, in a medical journal OCD you should have a link!

[@oldhamegg]

so, it's not overweight?
