Shop Tour | Man Cave | Dream Shop | Ridgley Contracting

[@jbishop7037]

Those boys are getting an education that you can’t put a price on. Well done grandpa!

[@Oldtimeytools]

Awesome, but please no background music made it hard to watch. Amazing shop

[@manstuff612]

You sir are the ideal grandpa

[@RidgleyContracting]

Grand kids are great So happy they take an interest in learning what most kids might never see

[@CaleMessner]

Reminds me of my late father, awesome video, Thankyou!!!

[@popswerks7915]

One grandpa to another. Nice shop! It’s more organized than most hardware stores.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you ! I think subliminally I’ve made it like the hardware stores us older guys remember. They were a place to hang out as much as buy things. If you haven’t already please consider subscribing! I mainly started this channel to show how it used to be having pride in just accomplishing things.

[@sirocco454]

Definitely tell your a man that spends a lot of time in your shop. It's amazing thanks for sharing.

[@RidgleyContracting]

I always thought of what I do for a living as a hobby as much as a job You have to love what you do

[@Dancing_Alone_wRentals]

I had to stop the video 8 seconds in and just lean back and admire the art. The sofa, the chimney flue ....the little yellow tractor parked by the stairs. This is the kind of sanctuary you run to...hide and hope nobody finds you for hours.

[@michaelbenson2024]

Your years of completing tasks at hand are direct reflections of your organized shop. Passing on your legacy to your Grandkids most admirable.

[@Sceme1991]

This is amazing. I love it! By far one of my favourite shops I've ever seen. I could spend hours there just looking around

[@RandyJurgens]

Great job on keeping your shop so clean and organized. It’s great that your grandkids like to be in the shop with you. Keep up the great job. Thanks for sharing 😊😊😊🔧🔧🪛🪛🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍

[@Biokemist-o3k]

New subscriber here...Certainly do have a dream shop...

[@RidgleyContracting]

Welcome and thank you very much!

[@Biokemist-o3k]

@yContracting Absolutely! It has been too cold to go out to the barn and work on anything. I am starting a YT channel when it gets warmer with the build of a 1928 Morgan Brooklands style hillclimb cyclecar. Are you here in Pa? I was a rig welder when I graduated high school and went out to Abilene Texas. Started out as roughneck and after a few months started welding on the rigs. After I made enough to go to school I went to get my Master's and PhD in Chemical Engineering. I really miss those long days welding and the camaraderie. A couple momnths ago I was riding my 1957 Harley Panhead to work and was run over and wrapped around a telephone pole so I am stuck watching YT videos for a while till I can walk again. Are you in Pa?

I got a feeling that the grandson is going to follow in grandpas steps. Great shop and great video

[@RidgleyContracting]

I hope so!

[@MustardMade]

Incredible! Your organization is off the charts! Major inspiration for me. I had a 25x35 wood shop but it went when we sold our house. Will be building a shop soon and hopefully I can attain this level of organization. What great memories I am sure you and your family create in there. One suggestion is quieter music in the video. Thanks again!

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you. My shop is my happy place. My grandson loves it in there. I hope he will remember it fondly long after I’m gone. If you haven’t already, please subscribe. Thanks for the advice on the music. We are new at this and learning as we go.

[@MillGapFarms]

Thanks for the tour! @millgapfarms

[@italRotty]

what a dream shop ! amazing, I retire in 2 years and have some land , i plan to build a home and a shop , if i can make a quarter of what you have made here i will die a happy man ! the icing on the cake is that you have inspired your grandchildren to be with you in the shop, another dream of mine too ! God Bless !

[@TOMMACMILLAN-fw6oh]

My FAVORITE shop tour so far !!! Perfect, you just helped me visualize EXACTLY what I want, Thanks So Much !!! Love that you involve your grand kids so much !!

[@Giannispri]

I can't but admire the unreal magnitude of how organised your shop is!!! Especially when I compare it to mine.... You sir are someone to look up to. Greetings from Piraeus 🇬🇷.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you very much! Keep watching, possibly subscribe? I’m blown away that I’m being watched in multiple countries! I might start collecting license plates or something to hang in the shop.

[@Giannispri]

Done. KZbin has closed a lot of distance for everyone. I got hooked on Andrew Camarata from New York and Curtis from CEE down under! Without KZbin, the only way for someone into technical stuff to expand his perception, would be checking out other craftsmen. Which in Greece, are not very keen on sharing knowledge.

[@marccocke9924]

You sir are a dying breed. Your skills and knowledge show with how organized you are. Your grandson is blessed to have such a great role model. He will remember your teachings for life and pass them on. Thanks for sharing!

[@RidgleyContracting]

I truly hope so! I would hate for what I know to die with me.

[@garyjones2582]

Never seen your channel before but I love your organizational skills.. Some of those things in your shop brought back some old memories.. Especially that parts washer, I had one just like it... If I might make a suggestion, turn your music down just a wee bit.. Sometimes I had trouble understanding you... Thx for bringing us along.. Take care my friend...

[@kylekraemer339]

Honestly the best shop tour I have seen on KZbin. Great video

[@ZeeFrankensteel]

Superb shop tour, something attainable for which you don't need 5000$ organizers all over the place. Besides the pro tool chest, the rest is very affordable stuff for the common man. And that hypnotic music! Great vid.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you for watching! I looked at some of the fancy organizers and you’re right there a little to pricey for me. Please consider subscribing if you haven’t already!

[@elliotkane4443]

Thats a really well set up and laid out shop, I like that you've taken some steps to actually make it comfortableto be there rather than a chore. Its really true (and a lot of people don't get it) that if something isn't available and accessible then it isn't useful. So many guys will just store things in gangboxes and under boxes and boxes in a big jumbled mess and then they will either NEVER use it or they will spend half their time just finding stuff. Appreciated, God bless you.

[@greghomestead8366]

Typed in " shop tour" and yours came up. Very well organized, I love it because I keep mine the same way. I was taught as a young man...... No job is done until the tools are put away. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan Ps, I subscribed.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you for subscribing. I believe that being organized just makes things easy. Like they say “the end result is in the prep”

[@noosage6306]

This does a man's heart good. Our kids keep us going that's for sure.

[@IronBenderII]

Great video, great relationship w/ your grandson(s)!

[@taimurchoudhry.]

Beautiful, Amazing and Truly a Lifelong Passion. Sir, I wish you a long and healthy life ahead so that you may indulge in your passion more and educate others and your next generation to reach their own full potential. Best of Luck to you and both your grandsons. My prayers that both your grandson's get to enjoy and learn from your company and in these twisted times, truly embark on this endeavour of passion. I wish you all, a Lifetime of Happiness Together. Just Love your work...

[@bigjohnson4983]

Nice, Very nice coming from a grandpa, tool junkie, shop owner who is in the middle of working my shop over now that I’m retired, well done my friend!

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

Brilliant, no wasted time searching about. Amazing shop.

[@fabiohaddad2531]

Excellent shop, well organized and full of details, the perfection is on the details. My shop is like my finger print, has a lot of myself in it. Congratulations. by the way I loved the small lathe.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you I agree that perfection is in the prep and details The whole lathe thing is new to me Guess I’m never to old to learn something new If you haven’t already Consider subscribing

[@andrewpinson1268]

I have watched about two hundred shop tours and yours as far as organized "stuff" ranks in the top five. You would never be at a loss to find anything or any tool you needed to do work on. And neatness, organization and utilizing every space is amazing. I will admit I am envious as hell with your shop. I have a lot of work to do to get to half of an organized place like that. BUT - where is the shop dog or kitty. Holy Moly that is great.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Dog has long passed Now I have a shop Grandson and love that he is interested in learning what I have to pass on to him.

[@andrewpinson1268]

@@RidgleyContracting Yep lots of difference between teaching a youngster than a cat. I tried but my cat just has no interest in woodworking, politics, music, or even listening to me. So you got the better deal.

[@c.shoefish]

That's an amazing set up, you can tell that's years upon years of experience, knowledge, blood and sweat.

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you for watching! A lifetime of blood,sweat,and don’t forget sacrifice,being self employed is not the cake walk most people think. Thank you for realizing that. I hope you will continue to watch and maybe subscribe.

​@@RidgleyContractingActually the music fits, just when you're editing in the future pull the level down on background music so it doesn't step on the main vocals and audio. Pretty easy to do. Amazing garage! 🛠️

Well done Gramps but pls drop the tunes.

Everyone just calls me Pop One of our first videos and we learned a lesson about using music , Thanks for watching!

[@Lwimmermastermetalart]

@@RidgleyContracting enjoyed it POP . So like when I became a grandfather I had a hard time figuring out what name I wanted to be called by. I’m still in denial that I’m that old to be called, Grandad, Grand pop, Gramps, Pops Pop Pop or whatever 😂 I have 6 grandkids and the oldest is graduating college this year. I just don’t know how this is possible with someone still in his 40’s……..in my mind of course 😉. My wife found me a T shirt that says……Isn’t it amazing I look just like old people 🤣

[@brentwelin3612]

Nice shop layout the only thing missing is a garage door opener the kids are going to mess around with that chain opener and get hurt its cheap insurance

[@RidgleyContracting]

Thank you An opener (very expensive for a door this size) is in my future I’m big on safety when it comes to what I let my grandkids are aloud to touch but I do agree it will be cheap insurance let alone better for my old back If you haven’t already consider subscribing
