Shop Tour 2024-The Perfect Man Cave & Woodshop Combo!

[@generalsworkshop]

Sorry everyone for the nauseating back-and-forth panning during this video. I was trying to film it solo with my AI/artificial intelligence and I think it was a bit too much. I’ll get it worked out so it’s not that way in the future. Thanks to everyone for watching.

[@bandofbrothers-airsoftdad5810]

Love the tote tower and hidden storage of the stage!!!! Well done!

[@generalsworkshop]

Those are definitely some of my favorite projects.

[@sralefe71]

The man cave is looking amazing my friend!!

[@generalsworkshop]

Thank you, Señora stud muffin. Thanks for watching!!!

[@LenKneale]

Joshua, really enjoy watching your videos, appreciate what you do for the band of brothers. Your videos are extremely interesting and I'm sure a great help to other do it yourselfers. Thank you, Len BTW definitely subscribed

[@generalsworkshop]

@@LenKneale thank you, that means a lot.

[@generalsworkshop]

Hello Len, great to meet you today. It was an honor to connect with you. Sometime in the near future, we’ll have to get you out to the Airsoft Field, we’d be absolutely honored to have you out there. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. Getting closer to that 1000 subscriber mark.

[@janetlarson5225]

Love all the hidden areas that you have for your tools and your nails your screws. Your shop just looks so wonderful and so organized and a lot of thought has gone into all the different things that you have done here in your shop. Nice job.

[@generalsworkshop]

@@janetlarson5225 thank you so much, you’re right, everything that you see probably has at least five hours worth of thought process that went into each of them. It’s funny because I’ll come up with an idea that I think is amazing and then all of a sudden I’ll have one little thought that will switch it and the whole thing changes. That’s why I’m cautious to not build with my first idea, but learn the value of slowing down and chewing on it for a little bit to make sure that it’s ultimately what I need. And even then, sometimes it changes after the fact. Thanks for commenting, have a great day.

[@stuartkorte1642]

I like the storage wall removable platform. Great idea. So is hiding the case of Dr. P. 😊

[@generalsworkshop]

Uh-oh, now you know the secret stash location! What’s funny is, if you check the fridge in the same shop, there’s no Dr Pepper at all. You found the hidden hidden stash-next level concealment! 😀

[@leannalarson7183]

This is by far my favorite so far of your videos! There are all so good. I just loved the feeling of being into your world a little little bit. Everything is so strategically thought out in your shop! I also love the aerial views you added in!

[@generalsworkshop]

Thanks you. Thanks for watching!

[@chucktharpe2382]

Beautiful! I especially love the off-center drawer that you chose to keep.

[@generalsworkshop]

Lol, beautiful indeed. I’ve always thought about replacing it, but I’ve never did. Perhaps it just reminds me that life‘s worth more when you’re willing to go after things that you’re not totally comfortable in and willing to make a mistake versus not doing much for the sake of being comfortable and safe.

[@Pastorstevelarson]

Thanks for showing us your shop. You’ve obviously put a lot of thought and hard work into it. You forgot to mention that your brother Steve usually won in the basketball game, however.😅

[@generalsworkshop]

lol, apparently I unintentionally forgot about that…. 😳

[@HaydenCroix]

Very nice looking workshop you have here, thanks for sharing! Definitely gave me some inspiration for things I could do differently in my own.

[@rodmarquette4082]

Love what you have done to your shop and property!

[@generalsworkshop]

Thank you so much, we’ve definitely been doing a slow trickle of progress moving forward. This latest addition of the container will be the Keystone of our storage and I believe I can start moving forward with the outside despite the fact that the ADU isn’t finished. Did you like your Appearance on the scaffolding on this one? It seems like Braun and you are the most frequently occurring and reoccurring guest on the show. Lol.

[@Friskokid77]

Amazing gentleman 🙏❤️

[@generalsworkshop]

@@Friskokid77 thank you my friend, thanks for commenting. I appreciate that. At some point we gotta get you over here for a guys night. Talk to you later.

[@generalsworkshop]

@@Friskokid77 hello my friend, thanks for commenting. We’ll have to get you over here at some point so you can take a look at it maybe have a guys night with Gearhead and the rest of the boys. I’ve got an eight bit Mario Brothers app for the TV. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.

[@jimfeaster4837]

Wowa great shop!

[@generalsworkshop]

@@jimfeaster4837 Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching.

[@henriquepastl4921]

Amazing woodshop

[@generalsworkshop]

Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment-it means a lot! Organization is definitely the secret sauce in the shop; without it, projects turn into treasure hunts for tools! Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@generalsworkshop]

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment-it really makes my day! Organization is the backbone of any good shop. Without it, I'd spend more time searching for tools than building anything!

[@henriquepastl4921]

@generalsworkshop just like me hehe

[@BGComedyMagic]

Nice layout! I see you're in NorCal! I'm in Red Bluff!

[@generalsworkshop]

Thank you, yes, Northern California inRedding.. You’re from red Bluff? Such a small world. I bet you were practically neighbors. Lol.

[@BGComedyMagic]

@ That’s awesome! I work in Redding everyday!

[@generalsworkshop]

@ that’s awesome. II love chatting with people that share a similar passion for woodworking/adventure. I checked out your chat as well, are you still doing magic performances?

[@BGComedyMagic]

@@generalsworkshop Yes Sir! I drop in here and there doing open mics at local comedy gigs (aside from corporate and private gigs)! My shop is geared towards building illusions! You should come check it out!

[@afriend7103]

I noticed you had a Christmas tree in one of your clips, do you decorate for Christmas?

[@generalsworkshop]

Great eye catching the Christmas tree! Yes, I do decorate for Christmas-it’s all part of the festive spirit around here. But don’t worry, the tree doesn’t get in the way of my projects. If anything, it adds a little extra magic to the workshop. I like to think of it as Santa’s workshop, but instead of toys, I’m cranking out sawdust and Airsoft trailers. And who knows-when it’s all decorated, I might even do another workshop tour video, but this time calling it the Christmas Edition! Stay tuned!

[@janetlarson5225]

It would be so wonderful to be able to see how you decorate your shop for Christmas so maybe you could do a video for us to see how you decorate the shop thank you for the consideration

[@janetlarson5225]

Yes, it would be wonderful to be able to see a video of your decorated shop. Hope you consider doing one of the shop decorations for Christmas.

[@nutsmcflurry3737]

Nice antelope.

[@generalsworkshop]

Thank you! I managed to convince him to hop into my truck out in Wyoming-epic hunt! Not gonna lie, I think my 6.5 Creedmoor did a pretty good job of persuading him, lol.

[@nutsmcflurry3737]

@ took mine about five miles due East of my house, in E. Oregon. Very hard to get tags at that time, but we got to hunt five years in a row with various friends. Fun times.

[@generalsworkshop]

@ wow, that sounds amazing. Fun times for sure.

[@NathanBilbao]

Love the organization. The camera panning left and right and then recentering is nauseating.

[@generalsworkshop]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! Yeah, the AI tracking definitely got a little too enthusiastic-it's like it thought it was filming an action movie instead of a shop project! I’ll rein it in next time so it doesn't give anyone motion sickness!

[@jdlarson1]

Braun for President 2028!!!!

[@generalsworkshop]

@@jdlarson1 I couldn’t agree more, does that mean you’re volunteering to be his senior advisor?

[@Lwimmermastermetalart]

Excellent shop. Looks too nice to work in 😂 . As to your vacuum situation. I have a metal and wood shop myself. More metal than wood machines and only a glorified hobby shop. This being said I don’t generate enough wood chips and saw dust to warrant a big dust collection system. What I have is a dedicated vacume for my table saw as well as my miter saw using an auto switch on each. Honestly it works pretty darn good. I had to make a better piece to use on the miter saw behind the blade though. Most saws don’t really have great systems. 😂 just like most table saws have junk miter gauges. Anyway I love your presentation as well as your man cave shop. If I could design a man cave shop I’d use your ideas 100%. Keep up the great work young man…….I’m soon to be 75 so yeah your young😂 👍🏼👍🏼

[@generalsworkshop]

Lol, young man, I’ll take it! My dad is 93 and he keeps telling me “don’t get old”. Still figuring out how to do that and wish there was an auto switch for staying Young. I really admire your practical setup with the smaller Shop Vacs and auto switches. It’s a smart system that makes a lot of sense for shops that don’t need a full dust collection system. Honestly, you’ve got me thinking about how I can incorporate something similar for smaller jobs in my shop. As for the man cave ideas-if you ever change your mind, I’d bet your take on it would be incredible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I really appreciate you taking the time to check out the video!

[@Lwimmermastermetalart]

Honestly you have the best shop I’ve seen on here. And I watch a LOT of shop tours. I just keep thinking regardless of the dust collection systems you have to still get dust over all your kool man cave furniture. The combination is awesome though. So when the wife makes you feel like you should be in the dog house you have a great place to go. Speaking of wives…..mine is 18 years younger than me and also grew up in MN. Probably the best thing in your shop is the shop dog lol. I have a pocket Beagle. She’s only a year old so I have the 2 second rule. If I don’t pick something up in 2 seconds she has it in her mouth and you’ll never see it again🤣. The mini split HVAC is awesome to have. I finally put one in my shop. I live at the beach in SC so it gets hot and can still get chilly in the winter. Seeing what you have makes me want to do the same. But at 75 that’s not gonna happen lol. My metal shop has a bunch of saws, welders, Bridgeport and 14 inch lathe so I’m gonna stay put. Nice having conversations with you. I subscribed BYW. looking forward to see more of your projects. Below find a link to the shop tour of my machine shop. Sold it to my sons years ago, but it will always be my baby.

[@generalsworkshop]

@ Thank you so much! Being awarded the 'Best Shop' is a high accolade indeed-I humbly and gladly accept! You're absolutely right about the dust settling in the man cave area; it's definitely a drawback. That said, I do have an air filter mounted on the ceiling (which, for some odd reason, didn’t make it into the shop tour video). It works well in conjunction with the vacuums to help manage the dust. As for the dog-lol, the two-second rule is alive and well here, too. Unless, of course, it's food; then he somehow manages to catch it mid-air like a pro athlete! And you're from Minnesota? That's awesome! My mom is 18 years younger than my dad so I can definitely relate. The mini-split has been an absolute game-changer for making the shop comfortable year-round. Your metal shop sounds amazing! I'm trying to dive deeper into metalworking and welding myself. In fact, my next video will feature a trailer tour where the back end was completely removed and rebuilt. It will also show several welded projects done right in my shop. Hopefully, it’ll be out soon-would love for you to check it out! By the way, I didn’t see the link you mentioned for your metal shop-where can I find it? I’d be really excited to see your setup!

[@generalsworkshop]

@ thank you so much. I appreciate our conversation as well. Thanks for the subscription. I’m just about that authorization which comes with 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours. Just about there. One thing I love about this allows me the highlights stuff that I’ve been passing about before ever even thinking about starting a new KZbin channel. I believe that’s the only way to make sure that content creation stays authentic and engaging., Thanks and have a great day.

[@chucktharpe2382]

I counted 6. But they were yiur pockets

[@generalsworkshop]

@@chucktharpe2382 lol, my pockets are outside of intergalactically jurisdiction. But, regarding the six, unfortunately, it is much more north of six. But hey, you were the first one to actually make a guess so I appreciate you doing so. Always appreciate you watching the videos as well.

[@creatd]

I think your camera tracker is drunk

[@generalsworkshop]

Lol, I think you’re right. I tried a new AI program to help track the movement, but I think you’re absolutely right, it must’ve thought we were filming an action film as opposed to a KZbin Shop tour video, lol. I’ll definitely try to get that worked out so it’s not like that in the future.
