Shop Tour 2022 - Tools, Layout and Organization

My first shop tour video! My hope is to do one every year or any time there are some big changes. As you can see, we are a smaller production shop and things get a little messy. But despite the mess, you can see how we operate and where everything goes.

If I had a shop like yours, I could make a shop tour like yours too!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

😂😂 you got me there buddy

[@thegenuinecraftsman]

LOL Exactly!

[@barnettbuilds227]

I'm blown away man. Years ago you and I were in similar places, just dudes in garages with a hobby. Now you've grown it into a monster of a business and you're just getting started. I wish I had the business sense that you have. You're an inspiration to me brother. I've loved watching you grow to where you are and I can't wait to see where you're going.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Adam, you know I love you man. I appreciate the kind words. Thank you for all your support.

[@KrisDeVo]

Happy to see no click-bate mouth open thumbnail. Im not into shop tours normally but this was great man! Impressive shop you have Mike, congrats.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I think I should have used bright colors.

[@KrisDeVo]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds Guilty ;)

[@KomarProject]

Love seeing this new shop !! It’s amazing

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks dude. Working in the next shop now 😂

[@TwoMooseDesign]

Looks like you need another shop! Crazy how fast it fills up

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I need 1 7000sf building 😂

[@TwoMooseDesign]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds and it will be full in a year lol

[@wooddesignsbylds]

Inspired us to do our first video on the 4k sqft one man shop! Great content!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jacobrmiller05]

Love the shop tour and the new video style. It literally was like I was watching a tv show. Keep up the good work and killer content

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks Jake! We are going to try a bunch of stuff and see what sticks.

[@-11BRAVO-]

Well you got a new subscriber here. Solid video. I’ve been woodworking for about 7 years steadily. Just made this KZbin and working on learning how to edit (because I know nothing) so I can start pushing out content of my hobby.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

That's awesome! Thanks for the support and for watching!

[@-11BRAVO-]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds haha no problem. I’ve binged all your videos in my shop today since this one. Solid videos man, great work also.

[@WiscoWoodShop]

You could do a pretty simple and conveyor to carry out the dust chips. A slow, turning corkscrew, or chain paddle or something like that. It would be something similar to what is used at a sawmill

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Awesome idea!

[@NolanBuilt]

Great shop tour Mike! Love the feel of the video with having a camera man fluently following you versus a static camera on a tripod.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Yeah it's a huge improvement with Peter running the camera and edit.

[@alanbuilds7829]

Long time follower! Love your work man!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you for watching my friend!

[@HamiltonDilbeck]

Great video, thanks for taking the time to show it all off!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertrodriguez3202]

Incredible progress! Congratulations and wishing you continued success

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@sawdustwoman]

Such a well thought out shop. I really Enjoyed watching this and am so inspired by how you’ve grown your business from the ground up. Excellent video

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I can't wait to share the next ones!

[@JohnGrubb1]

Pretty dang cool to see your evolution. Glad I got to hang in your original garage shop for a bit and I hope I can check out the new compound one of these days. Congrats!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Come on by buddy!

[@FirstFruitsDesignCo]

Amazing shop. I agree that bandsaw time is a good time!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

You're smart 😂

[@scottreynoldsbuilder]

Love the shop! It's been fun watching you grow! Great video.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks buddy! Appreciate the support!

[@baileythompson3680]

Great video, looking forward to seeing more from you guys.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks so much! Really excited to focus on KZbin!

[@scottharrison795]

Nice job, the production quality on this was really nice. Looking forward to all the new content!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you! All credit goes to my cinematographer. He's a wizard.

Awesome video! Awesome shop

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks so much!

[@bigskymaker]

Sweet shop and video Mike! I always like seeing how others do their thing.....and it seems you have it dialed in.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you! Not quite dialed yet. But we'll get closer every day.

[@bigskymaker]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds Its a never ending...always evolving process

[@crazyslotman]

This is so incredibly inspiring. You have made me reconsider my spaces and how to keep things more functional and organized. I just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more videos!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you so much!

[@SamGreenMaker]

Great shop tour. Keep crushing it

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you my friend!

[@dougschriefer3076]

The video quality is excellent can't wait to see the other new videos you're working on.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you! Very excited about what's to come.

[@OscarMartinez-ss9zi]

Man awesome shop tour video Mike. Seems like not long ago it was just a hobby for you and now you’ve turned in into a huge business. It’s been very cool to watch you grow your business. Keep up the awesome work. I’m getting into the process of reorganizing and adding a few things in my garage shop so this video was really awesome to watch and get some good ideas from, as a beginner woodworker I wasn’t thinking about shop flow so that is going to be something I make sure to incorporate when reorganizing and setting up.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

It wasn't long ago! It's crazy how things have taken off. I'm very fortunate. It's a lot of hard work though. Glad I can be a resource for sure!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Great look at what you’ve got going on…& it’s a lot!

[@DanielDunlap]

I am loving that new intro! 🔥

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Man it is so rad! I wish I knew how to make video that good 😭😂

[@makernova8160]

I'm digging the shop! Always nice to see other peoples' setups to help improve mine. Of course after thinking that I watched you go into your second and then third building ha ha! Anyway, shop goals!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Multiple buildings is the thing I like the least about my set up. I am hoping to start on one very large building this year.

[@makernova8160]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds Oh, that's interesting. Is that because it messes up your workflow? I suppose transporting some projects between buildings can present problems too. Especially during bad weather.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

@@makernova8160 exactly. I want everything under one roof really bad. Main woodshop. Production. Shipping. Spray booth and lumber. So much easier.

[@calvarycustomsllc]

Great shop tour and great video Mike! I thought I had already commented, but must have not hit the button, lol. Anyways, really like how you think about and execute on your work flow. I know that future big building will help you with that. Looking forward to seeing you and your business growing. Definitely doing some great stuff buddy! Keep it up.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot.

[@lighthousewoodworks]

Fantastic video buddy!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks man! Wait till you see the next ones! They're dope

[@lighthousewoodworks]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds I look forward to it!

[@guaraguaoarcherycustombows3843]

I will save this video!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks!

[@chrisjaustin88]

Super jelly! About those off cuts though... my 1.5 car garage would be great storage for them ;) I'll pay the shipping and they can live rent free!

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

If you really want some we can work something out for sure. Shoot me an email [e-mail]

[@williamswoodntools]

Can you share a link or description for the digital measurement scale on your planer? It looks like an aftermarket addition. I'd love to have one on mine.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

It is not aftermarket. Its OEM with the planer.

[@JackmanWorks]

Only 4 shop spaces?! Come on, we all know 5 is where it's at.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

6 is the true sign of success. Everyone knows that. I actually hate having multiple buildings. I need to build one huge building.

[@FunoXXX]

Wow... Awesome! Stocked to see that your buisness is taking off. I wonder why you mostly have laguna tools? Never branched out?

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I've had Powermatic tools. I prefer Laguna. They are fantastic tools.

[@IlajnerKonstantynov]

Nice

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thanks!

[@buffalojones341]

I wonder if you would consider opening up your off cut pile to local woodworkers and guy is looking to do small projects. Either charge a small fee or just limit it to what a guy can carry in one trip or something.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

That's already what I'm doing.

[@buffalojones341]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds you’ve gotta be a good man then. Thx

[@buffalojones341]

Enjoying the video. Have you had good luck with the ceramic guides on your Laguna bandsaws? I just replaced mine with Carter guides because I kept having issues with the Laguna guides. I’m not sure if it was just my machine, user error, or maybe just something in the design or some combination of the three.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I've had no issues but I know others have!

[@ericklodnicki]

Great setup, you get a lot done in that space!! Can you give me the square foot breakdown between the dedicated woodworking shop and the auxiliary (new shop)? 🎯

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Thank you! One is 24x36. The other is 24x30.

[@ericklodnicki]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds insane you fit so much in that space. Well done man.

[@llllYashullll]

Need more Shawn

Hahaha

[@thefilthelement]

somehow I completely missed you moving out of your garage fter getting your Laguna

I haven't covered it here really. This is the first time. I've been neglecting KZbin but no more.

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds well congrats on the space! I see you've made great use of it so far

You looking in a mirror again?

[@stevewylie6951]

Hi Mike, you were linked by DimensionWoodworks, in reference to your hvlp turbine cart. I've searched your YT vids and IG posts, cannot find anything on it. Can you refer/link me to any content re your cart? I saw your turbine on the shelf in your paint room, so I wonder if it was an old now removed video? Thanks, and great channel, glad I found you, now subscribed.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

I actually don't have any files or content on it. Except the hose reel holder.

[@stevewylie6951]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds I found your IG posts on the cabinet. Good to go, working on mine now.

[@pitts3219]

Move out of CA

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

Nah

[@multidinero]

I’m sorry, but the shops look small for your needs. Or is it just because it’s not currently very organized?

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

It's far too small. My shop is slammed all the time. We are booked out until spring next year.

[@multidinero]

@@CoffeyCustomBuilds It's a good problem to have, though. The opposite would make us all cry! When time permits, I think you need like a 40 x 40 shop. Tie the first two shops together into one massive building at the least. Do you have a dedicated office space in either place? I didn't see it... probably not then. Being too busy is every workman's dream, but a lack of organization drives us all nuts at the same time. It's a catch 22. But I think you'll figure it out.

[@CoffeyCustomBuilds]

@@multidinero organization is fine. Just busy. I'm in the process of building an 8,000sf shop. Should be done early next year.

[@robertdalga128]

Next time clean the damm shop up before you videotape!

It's a production shop. This is how it looks.
