Shop Tour // Small WoodShop Layout

[@joeproctor2216]

What you said about the more you have to move stuff around to get to a tool, the less likely you are to use it...spot on. Great vid.

[@kellyklaask7su990]

Looking at all the small shops on KZbin makes me thankful for my 24 x 30' garage, even WITH my wife's car parked in it. :) THanks for the video!

[@jerrydempsey5428]

I enjoyed the tour. You are a natural born instructor. It definitely gives me some ideas on how to set up my own limited garage space. Thanks.

[@thedabblingdiyer5842]

I ended up converting an old shed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Swg5KIm9qcock

[@brucedeville3810]

You have packed a tremendous amount of equipment into a small space, yet made it functional. Great job.

[@jubusmaximus]

What a clear, relaxed, almost faultless presentation. Thanks.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+jubusmaximus Thank you!!

[@johncornwell9542]

Really appreciate this shop tour. Just moved into a apartment with a 10'x23' garage I'll be turning into a shop and I'll be using this as a starter layout to get my shop up and running.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Awesome, glad it helped!

[@norm1124]

Yes the tools charged and plugged in ready to use are used much more often (In my shop the Palmsander, Jigsaw, Cordless Drill and Router).

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+norm1124 That's probably the case in most shops!

[@midgamarine]

Matt, thanks for the video. It was truly inspiring; I was worried about space and what size shop I needed and could afford. I have been taking everything out of a storage building to work for a while and I have gotten to the point where It has become too much of a task to drag out and set up everything outside and then return it until the next day. I know now that I can survive in a smaller building than I expected.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Troy Scott Awesome man, glad the video helped. Thanks for watching man!!

[@wfcastro8861]

Excellent tour, the evolution is great to see. I've been watching your vids for a bit and your on-cam presence is progressing nicely. I really like seeing your honesty on what's not working and your regrets... It's a "real world" view of how an evolution occurs, not everything is simple and easy. Keep up the good work.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+WF Castro Thanks, it's something I'm constantly trying to improve upon. I feel like I've definitely gotten better in front of the camera!

[@robk.5467]

I have the exact same sized garage. I'm just starting out with woodworking, and I'm laughing at the situation right now. Spent all day moving crap from the garage to the basement, and it still looks crowded with just a rolling chest, air compresser, shop vac and half a table saw (the good half) on the floor. I needed this video to get my head screwed on straight, and face the coffin that is my new workshop. Thank you, and I can't wait to get this thing together one piece at a time.

[@kjohn231]

Thanks for taking the time to do this. It is very helpful getting real word tool opinions.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Kent Johnson Awesome, you're welcome!

[@williamdouglas8084]

Nice video, calm clear tour. I've got an even smaller shop, I have a 10 x 10 and a 10 x 16 Tuff sheds. I'm currently installing a French Cleat system so every tool has a home and I can find it.

[@thedabblingdiyer5842]

I used a shed as well! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4Swg5KIm9qcock

[@shanetimberedowl9541]

As I was watching your video, I looked at my drill press and thought, "that's a really ingenious place to put my trashcan". Saved just a bit more space in my cluttered, unorganized shop. Quite a few other tips I plan on borrowing. thanks for this vid.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Shane Betmarik Awesome man, thanks for watching. My small shop space seems to have made lots of people feel better about their small shops haha.

[@ellerbrockwelding3056]

+Matt Lane, Im 16 years old, self taught. My woodshop is 108 sq.ft.. I have a Dewalt Radial Arm Saw, Craftsman 10 inch bandsaw, Shopsmith Mark V, 1973 Craftsman 10 inch table saw, and a Delta 10 inch compound miter saw. All in 108 sq. ft.., I have 36 sq. ft. of assembling space and space that im free to move around in.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

wow, that's awesome man, Kudos to you!

[@ellerbrockwelding3056]

+Matt Lane, it would be an honor if you liked my facebook page, your such a cool dude. facebook.com/SvensCustomWoodworks/

[@qlogic2002]

Great video, I'm planning my small shop and I can't say how truthful you are with everything. Thanks for the great vid, subscribed!

[@EricSorensenCanada]

Hey Matt! Your shop is almost exactly the same size as mine! So far, I don't mind it. It forces you to use the space more efficiently and to think about where things get stored.

[@tacodude286]

I'm glad you mentioned the regrets about the 6" jointer. I keep scouring the ends of the internet on info or advice on these and planers. You have a nice shop setup.

[@leonardpearce4512]

Great video, good to see you can talk. Just subscribed, I saw you on Jay's channel. I have a narrow shop(12') and made the mistake of putting (free) cabinets along one wall. Now I only have 10' of width. I'm over 60 and still learning. Keep up the good work.

[@HovingtonInstruments]

After watching this video I must say that I won't be able to complain too much about my own shop size. You did a excellent job at maximizing and making your layout work for you. Maybe I should look at moving some things around in my shop again! thanks for sharing this!

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Tomy Hovington Thanks Tomy!

[@jerryherndon6766]

I agree with your comment that if you have to dig a machine out, then you're less likely to do some woodworking. I once had my shop in the garbage and utilizing mobile bases, but since moving to the basement with ample room I now enjoy having all my machines immediately accessible.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Jerry Herndon Yeah, it makes a huge difference having them available for use. Congrats on the basement shop!

[@cameronmcarthur9951]

Good Video, liked your tool wall with no base freeing up floor space. Band saw and thicknesser is a good move. Liked a lot about what you have done. All I would say is don't leave jobs hanging. You only have to pick one of your unfinished jobs and get it done. You would feel so much better creating better space, giving drive to the next single unfinished project. An educated guess, you are going to have a workshop most of your life, smooth out the wrinkles now and let them not become bad habits. You are an exceptionally good craftsman so let me see more videos where you are driven by the love of the craft to produce, educate, inspire and most of all enjoy what you do.

[@robertpotter9506]

Matt you still can use your 25" incra L.S.router fence on your table saw by buying the rails from Incra that are made for it. It would still give you 25" rip capacity and if you move your system to the right it would give you even more rip capacity. Except for the room t takes you will love the reputability it gives you. Plus spoiling you. Hope this helps. Bob.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Robert Potter Thanks, after looking more into it, I'm not sure it will work in my small space!

[@tlhoff]

Matt, Thank you for the tour. I too have a small shop. I am always in the process of moving things and trying to come up with better storage. You may consider the clamp rack built by Norm Abram. I Built one and I really like it.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Tim Hoff Thanks Tim, yeah I need a clamp rack badly!

[@ezza88ster]

Great Video. Nice and detailed gave me lots of ideas for re-organising my one car garage. Said goodbye to my sportscar this year and now ride a bicycle (E-bike conversion). Fitter, happier and healthier and more money for tools. Oh! man I shouldn't have said the more tools part - giving myself ideas...........!

[@metamech7383]

I really like how neat your shop looks. Being a peg hook aficionado, I can never remember what goes where. But everything I see in your shop looks stowed away beautifully. Good job.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+metamech Thank you, I try to be as organized as possible.

[@TheWoodButcher]

Matt, Thank You So Much for the tips of setting up a small functional shop! I thought my space was small! Like your shop, mine is my attached garage. However, I do have 360 sqft (15'x24'). My first mistake was lining up most of my power tools (drill press, scroll saw & bench grinder, router table, dust collection unit, chop saw and bench sander, etc) along the studded wall of my space, which is 3 walls. My shop roof pitches from 20' down to 6'. This summer, I want to reverse the layout. Have all of the power tools along the block wall and storage along the 3 studded walls. My next issue is ample electrical power in the shop. I have a neighbor that is an electrician and will do the job for beers and food. My deal with him is that I will run all of the wiring and install all of the switches & outlets. The one thing I won't do is, tie into the house existing electrical system. I also love your creations for wall storage units! That is what inspired me to reverse my shop layout. Let's face it, it's easier to mount stuff to wood studs instead of a concrete block wall. I also have a You Tube Channel that I just started about 8 months ago, "The Wood Butcher". Believe me, I will be providing links to your channel. >>Marcel...

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+The Wood Butcher Thank you, glad you got some ideas!!

[@mikeyandalyssab4782]

Garbage can/drill press idea is genius!!! LOL, never would have thought of that, well done sir!

[@tonyozimek2116]

Great tour, shop and ideas. I'm getting ready to begin my shop build and i now have a few new ideas!!

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Tony Ozimek Awesome, man! Thanks for watching!

[@kirbybanks9084]

Shop is pretty nice! If you ever need more wood storage do it above the garage door railing.

[@akquicksilver]

I am also 6'3" and I have a suggestion for your drill press. I have a Ridgid drill press and it is just about the same height as yours. I built a sturdy plywood box/base for it that raised it up a foot off the floor and it much more comfortable for a tall guy to use. Good video and discussion of utilizing available space.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Thanks J.B., thats a good idea!!

[@hspringsteen]

Nice layout for your shop. As far as the Incra for your table saw goes, I have the 32 inch for my table saw. I am in a 10' x 15' shop. the Incra on the table saw was too wide. When you try to open it all the way up, it takes up an incredible amount of space. You are better off with your T-Square style fence on your table saw. I replaced my Incra system for a T-Square style fence. Trying to sell the Incra system now.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Howard Springsteen Thanks for the input Howard!

[@les2934]

Nice and and well laid out. I also mount most of my heavy machines and benches on wheels. Keep the shop more "fluid" as I change my mind from time to time. Great video thanks..well done

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Larry Smith Thank you and thanks for watching!

[@DyamiPlotke]

great layout. I love to see others make use of a small shop too.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Dyami Plotke Thanks man, you got a nice shop yourself!

[@MrPrecisionShot]

Hello Matt, This was an excellent video. I have a shop that's a two car garage but have poorly used the space. you've given me some food Ideas. Time to rework my space. Thanks

[@Selandry1]

Nice video Matt. You seem like a very sharp guy with your organization. The only thing I disagree with is your comments on wanting an Incra tablesaw fence and using it with the router. The reason is that if you get the Incra tablesaw fence you will have to move your tablesaw back to the middle of your shop because it requires so much clearance to the right of your saw. You don't need that much rip capacity if you have a tracksaw. I find that I never need more than 20 inches of rip since I got the tracksaw. In fact I wish my sawstop had less clearance so in can get it closer to the wall. I wanted an Incra tablesaw fence a few years back, but I'm glad I waited. I will post a video on my workshop layout in a few months to explain it. Your video was great. Thanks.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Thanks man, yeah several guys pointed that out to me! It does suck that it takes up so much room. I love the way the incra fence works!

[@seanmorgan8128]

I would put your Band saw against the back wall where your router tables is than line up your router planer along that wall in roll them out when needed. You could even use your router table as a out feed possible if you raise it up or lower it to match your saw. Or put bad saw where jointer is and jointor where router table is and router table where band saw is but against the wall. if you do longer handsaw rips. I thought I had a small shop you really need to maximize that space. What is the resaw on your Band saw it looks over 12inch?

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Sean Morgan I'm pretty happy with the current setup

[@jonhwalsh4900]

Looks great. We have to work with what we have. Sign of a good craftsman. Keep it up.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

Matt, very informative and especially helpful you highlife positive and negative issues you have dealt with. I’m setting up more of a hobby shop but will use your advise for a similar sized space! Thank you for diverting some future frustrations for me!,,

[@1956vern]

Don't forget that you're ceiling is the most underused space in your shop. Ladders, sheet goods and anything that you seldom use that's long. Your young. I'm still buying equipment then find that I was to cheep and really it would not have cost that much more! Thanks Matt your using your shop to the max. Remember over build. Wobbling surfaces make for accidents! Good luck

+Harry Hov Agreed!

[@fredfernandez536]

Hi Matt, I really enjoyed this video. Great info! I'm in the process of laying out my own woodshop and you gave me some very good ideas for large tool placements. I also love the fact that you're a down to earth guy and didn't feel the need to "produce" a video with a distracting soundtrack and video and caption effects! Cheers!

[@BradleyMakesThings]

This was a good watch! Rather than just "here's this tool, here's that tool", you made this video pretty informative! Thanks for that. Definitely good food for thought as I'm currently trying to plan a more optimized space in my own shop. You ever think about rolling carts so you can extend your workspace out into the driveway or carport while you're working? I know for me, pulling a few rolling tools into the driveway/yard help sometimes.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Carter Wilson Workshop Thanks man, yeah, I have definitely kicked around moving some stuff outside and working on the nice days!

This a a great resource for those of us planning to build a workshop from scratch. I'm going to utilise my single car car garage and would you believe it's smaller than your space. Before I wrote this I checked your channel for a more up to date tour but couldn't find one, but no matter, this is just as informative today as it was nearly 3 years ago. Thanks for sharing. P.S. Maybe you could consider an updated tour? 👍

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

I don't have this shop anymore, we've since moved and I'm now in a much roomier two car garage. I will however do another tour once I get the shop all setup.

[@mark2201750]

Great layout. I have a small shop too 11x 18 and I use the same principles. Floor space is at a premium and overlap outfeed spaces. One question I still have is, where is your brother? The name of your channel is lane brothers, but I've been a subscriber for about a year now and don't recall seeing him. Thanks again for the tour, I'm a sucker for a shop tour video.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Mark Carlock I have actually changed the name of the channel to just my name. I am in the process of changing everything over to end the confusion. I actually have three brothers, it was a good idea, but just isn't feasible for us to get together and make videos. We all have conflicting schedules. My oldest brother Jason is actually in my first layout video from about a year ago.

[@mark2201750]

[@gregaltenhofel7326]

If you call Incra you might be able to retro fit your router set up on your table saw for not much money. They are very helpful and extremely nice solving any problem you have with any of their products.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Greg Altenhofel i should probably check into that!

[@gregaltenhofel7326]

It looked like you were only missing a few parts. The rails the cross member and maybe a table saw fence. I think the expensive part is the arm that goes through the locking mechanism that has the 32 threads per inch all thread.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Nice shop and thanks for the tour. I went to the grizzly site and laid out a shop plan. Of course... just like you said... on paper doesn't mean it will fit. So after a few adjustments I'm happier with my new layout. I've wanted to replace my Porter Cable contractor table saw with a SawStop for a long time. As well as build a nice miter station. I'm getting closer to doing that. However... I've also been bit by the green bug. While drooling over the Festool Domino I have fallen in love with their track system. Another youtuber made a similar observation that with the MFT table and track system you can do more accurate cuts using it. So now the debate is... Do I invest in a new bigger cabinet saw and large miter station (that would take up a lot of room)... Or do I invest in the Festool system? My shop is 13' 4" x 21' 3". Always welcome feedback from others.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Angie Overton Well, there are certain things you'll still want a table saw for like ripping, cutting tenons etc. As far as cross cutting, especially on large play panels, you can't beat an mft table in my opinion. I wouldn't give mine up for anything, just wish I had a little more room for it in my shop haha. Having just the track saw is probably the best purchase/most versatile tool you can have in your shop. I use my track saw on basically every project, so many awesome uses.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Well... I have a table saw and miter. But I don't want to invest in something bigger/better if I'll be using the MFT and track saw more often.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

+Angie Overton I would definitely buy the mft first and you could always upgrade later if you still felt like you needed to

[@lelanddavis4050]

Hey buddy, one thing I noticed was the wasted space above your garage door. I heard you mention Jay Bates. Check out his video on the shelf space/cabinets he designed and installed his garage door. Hope that observation helps you with space in your small shop. Have a nice day!

I'm in the process of trying to say goodbye to my old, old radial arm saw, to be replaced with a mitre station. So thanks for the video, and your laid back, down to earth manner. '>)

[@bigdogmn73]

FYI that incra fence for your table saw wouldn't work well in your shop. I have it and it needs a TON of space on the right side of the table saw if your doing wider cuts. It's great, but eats up the space. I have a third car stall and I tend to move my car out when I"m using the saw.
