Small Wood shop tour 2020 with some small shop solutions

[@MasonWoodshop]

Fantastic tour, Dan! As a fellow small-shop'er, it's great to hear your thought process behind your decisions (very similar to my plans). The image of your tool run haul is something dreams are made of (as is your ducting)!

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for your input Cole. Great to support from a fellow Canadian woodworking enthusiast!

[@JoryValley]

If you haven’t looked into the dust deputy yet I highly recommend it. You add it inline before your extractor and mount it to a barrel. It will collect 99% of the dust before it gets in the bag so you don’t have to fuss with the bags, also keeps the filter clean a lot longer. I have the dust deputy xl mounted to a plastic 55gal drum and love it.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for the tip. I am thinking of relocating the extractor and the compressor to an out building and a dust deputy is definitely a consideration

[@tinycuisine6544]

Lovely tour Dan! Talking shop never gets boring for me. That lathe base is lovely, but it must be hell to clean under it. Also seems a bit like wasted space you could use! Anyway, you probably already know all this. Keep it up. Love when you appear in suggested videos.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

actually it is quite easy to keep clean, I use a chisel and brush tool on the shop vac and it takes no time at all. thanks for noticing it, I loved designing it.

[@acanadianwoodworker]

Wow your shop is basically my equipment Wishlist - nice job! Looks beautiful

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thank you sir, I really enjoyed your lathe dust extraction video... it partially inspired me to create my own extraction system that I made a video about.

[@acanadianwoodworker]

@@TherapyWoodWorks Yes I saw that video too, really sharp build! Everything looks so cool when it's all transparent

[@bowerscustomwoodworkingllc]

This is a very well equipped and organized shop! Thanks for sharing and subbing to see more!

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for the support, it is very much appreciated

[@cuethenewt9375]

Great shop tour! I really enjoyed the detailed breakdown of all your equipment. Very nice stuff👌

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for the support

Hello from the USA!! Something I did to my tiny shop that you may want to think of doing, is a dust collection, compressor shack. I built a simple shack with a lockable door of the back outside wall. I used tung and groove cedar I got second hand, and some pressure treated 6"x6" and 2"x6" dimensional lumber for floor joist. I raised the shack up to the same height of the timber and stone pad I had my building put on. Then built simple walls to the back wall of the shop. I cut two holes into the wall to receive the pipe and power cords (which I put inside PVC piping to protect it. Rockler makes a"thru-wall" kit for doing this). I installed some soundproofing tiles I got cheap from eBay-for the next-door neighbor's sake. The roof is just a slant roof installed under the eve of the shop. It so much quieter in the shop now, plus more room. April Wilkerson inspired me to build one. She put in a cement slab for hers. Her is her take on one-- Building a lean to shed part 1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bH7Eo2hoYtl4d9U Building a lean to shed part 2: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4vChGlnbZJjkJY Building a lean to shed part 3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mou9e5WMpNBlnpY PS-- You can buy the laser beam to mount on the saw. This is the company that makes the one I bought for my miter saw: On Amazon; Fits most 7-1/4”, 8”, 8-1/4”, 10”, and 12” miter, sliding miter, chop, and portable saw. This mounts onto the blade arbor. I originally bought The Dewalt 12" compound & sliding miter saw with the stand. On impulse I gave it to my nephew who was starting his own custom and now very successful woodworking business. When I went to buy my own I got a cheap one because it was all I could afford until I could save up for another one, but probably a 10" this time. I was planning to buy the Bouch Glide, but like yours, many brands have come out with the bars for sliding the head-on, closer to the front. My shop is only 10' wide so anything that will save space and is reliable is what I will go by.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for the tips ... I have thought of building an " exterior" shack as you suggested and will do so as I out grow my shop. I do have some heating issues though as it does get to -30 so I would have to heat the extension.

[@jorgecalle8363]

Congratulations

[@dwaynebroussard54]

New subscriber here from South Louisiana. I liked your layout of the shop. I’m going to be adding a 12x30 ft lean to onto my storage building for a workshop and this gave me some good ideas👍🏻

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks Dwayne. Man I would love to be in your area for the access to hardwoods but don't think I could handle the heat.

[@mstenner16]

Hey Dan, you can get a little aftermarket laser for miter saws that attaches in place of the washer that holds the blade on. Just google “miter saw washer laser”. It uses a centrifugal switch to turn on when you spin the blade. They work pretty well. Thanks for the vid.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Sounds interesting.... I will look into it because I love my fricken laser beams

[@HDBoyWonder]

I found a custom kit to add an LED light that creates a precise shadow, cut-line for my DeWalt 779, another popular miter saw. The Makita slider is getting very good reviews. I’ll be surprised if a third-party vendor doesn’t come up with a Makita variant. Mine is as a perfect-fitting, molded-plastic housing with a light that gets wired into the power, and snaps-in to replace the top of the factory handle…looks just like a factory replacement, though it likely voids the warranty. I’m not sure if DeWalt also offers this upgrade as well. The shadow line may be more accurate than a laser line and it’s easier to see under the brighter lights of KZbin woodworking studios. Thanks for the interesting tour. I’m just starting with the same Rikon drill press and DeWalt planar and track saw.

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

Bien Bien Dan...new sub here. Looks like a great little shop.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Well thank you sir...I enjoyed your channel too.

[@rhuynh]

Thanks for the tour! Really enjoyed your journey shop wise and personally. Your "just getting started" is miles past my been "knocking around at this for 7 yrs" progress! I am also jealous you have level floors to make all your surfaces line up! For your miter saw yes you can buy a laser disc but I suggest running and LED light to do your own shadowline. Much more accurate and it's easy. I took apart a cheap HF led flashlight and wired one in

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

I thank you for your comments. I am definitely enjoying this journey. I will look into the LED shadow light... sounds interesting.

[@Greggzzz]

Nice shop. Surprisingly similar to mine. We share a passion for dustlessness. Recommend a dust deputy for that king dust collector.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks Greg... I have been considering that

[@ed2245]

I like your layout. Unlike me you actually think things through. Looking forward to more videos.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks Ed. I am enjoying the ride so stay patient as the content will continue to grow and hopefully be entertaining.

[@DreamWorksWoodShop]

Greetings Danny, Stumbled onto your channel really enjoyed the shop tour And your content. Very organized Look forward to seeing more videos. Stay safe! 👍

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks Walt, appreciate the positive feedback from an experienced wood worker who has been '"carving" a niche for a while longer than myself.

[@toucanproductions2935]

Hola amigo, que buena introducción

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Muchas gracias mi amigo

[@chippychippy8291]

Nice shop Dan, impressive in a small space. The helical for that dealt planer is nice, but look at the Hammer jointer/planer combo unit , saves some space.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

yep a very nice piece of equipment that combo unit is but unfortunately a little out of my budget when you include the shipping costs to get it to northern BC.

[@chippychippy8291]

Danny Fries , where are you in northern BC? Ps they will ship.

[@brianjordison2910]

There is a saying....."we can't afford to buy cheap tools!" When that sunk into my thick skull....I realized how true it is. I try to buy the best I can....still won't put out for Festool. I'd like to, but I won't.

[@MrBrewzr]

Cool tour, you got my sub

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

thank you sir, appreciate the support

[@seoverland316]

Nice shop Danny! Just subscribed and looking forward to future videos!

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thank you David... next up in the camera currently is an antique table restoration that Deborah joins me with to do the refinishing.

[@jamiehageman6191]

Very nice shop! Got me to sub

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thank you Jamie... appreciate it. 2021 is looking bright for us with an emphasis on improving videography.

[@s9plus20]

Nice shop Dan, I enjoyed the tour.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thank you kindly

[@mattheww7280]

Nice shop, nice video!

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thank you

[@Kevinrichardsonministries]

Thumbs Up Danny... now build something, as your shop looks "to clean" and organized !! Ha ha ha... Subbed...

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Well I do work in the shop pretty much every day but I have a pretty stringent cleaning standard. Shop gets a tidying at the end of every day and a thorough cleaning, vacuuming and waxing at the end of each project. Thanks for your support. 😁

[@jacquestardif5848]

Thank you for this video. I live in Southern Ontario and have a King Industrial dealer near me, TEGS tools. I purchased the Dewalt 735 planer from them. In future will be buying a King table saw and jointer.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for the support Jacques... I don't think you can go wrong with the King industrial line, especially for the price as compared to other makes that seem to come from the same factory.

[@tferr9]

A local woodworking equipment store here in Ohio just started selling King Canada. Really nice equipment for a reasonable price.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Yes Todd I believe you can't go too far wrong with that line as long as you stay within the "industrial" line of their equipment. Pricing is definitely a positive. BTW I do have an instagram account @woodtherapist , but I have to admit that I am a bit of a newb when it comes to social media so it is not well developed yet. I am hoping Deborah will take over this aspect of the biz.

[@wayneblythe5713]

Just subscribed, great shop and well thought out. I promise I won’t tell your wife what you did. 👏🏻👍🏻🇬🇧

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Thanks for the support Wayne.... Deborah is getting used to picking me up and taking me to the hospital to get stitched back together. 🤣

[@ParaguaionaObra]

Gusto mucho lá abertura del vídeo soy paraguayo te saludo desde Brasil São Paulo vivo aqui um grande abrazo mi amigo muy Bueno el vídeo

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

gracias mi amigo. Me encantaría ver Sao Paulo algún día

[@ParaguaionaObra]

@@TherapyWoodWorks cuando quieras Las puertas estan abiertas 😁

[@FearsomeWarrior]

Super curious what is in the nice looking cabinet above the miter saw.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Well let me tell you.... we have a local "free store" also know as the dump... some bone head threw that out and I could not let it die. someone put some effort into making that !!! so I use it as a battery charging station for tools and camera equipment

[@FearsomeWarrior]

@@TherapyWoodWorks Hahaha. Great score.

[@armandoguillen3413]

Muy bonito taller, felicidades!!!

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Mucho gracias amigo

[@rodpotts2666]

Nice shop, you need more clamps!lol

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Yep I do need more clamps.... you should see my Christmas list

[@rodpotts2666]

Danny Fries , yes my Amazon wish cart always has 50 things in it.

[@Themexicancarpenter]

Your Spanish sounds really good 👌🏻

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Well thank you... I am not very good at it.... just picked up some of the lingo for a trip to Cuba.

[@joeymerrell8585]

I can butcher Spanish almost as well as English. I was raised in Arkansas....

[@juleswebb1885]

Interested to see your King table saw as the exact same saw is sold under so many different brand names. They're great saws, i have one here in UK, which is branded by the actual maker, Harvey of China.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Cool info Jules... It seems that it is a bit of a secret amongst tool "manufacturers" as to who exactly is manufacturing their equipment.

[@crescentworks6855]

Ahoy from Ottawa! I'm with you on King...my kc10kx has been a bit unpredictable, not sure I'd buy another king product.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

To be honest I will continue to purchase tools from the King Canada industrial line for their pricing, quality and availability despite my one bad experience with them. I just hope they can step up a little better with their servicing !!!!

[@ryanstephens9145]

I got the dr evil reference

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Yeah that was some good clean humor

[@davidbryanwoodworksandmore]

Looks like you have a great shop. Very nice indeed. Thank you for sharing.

[@ericcommarato7727]

Nice shop Dan. The King jointer looks virtually identical to Delta’s DJ-20 manufactured by Invicta in Brazil. Is this machine made by Invicta as well? I believe Invicta is still in business.

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Yes they do appear very similar. From what I understand, many of the major companies will source their equipment from the same factories hence the similarities. Of course they like to keep this fact as a closely guarded secret .

[@shantayprueeissen8914]

My husband uses these plans from Woodprix and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!

[@TherapyWoodWorks]

Glad you like them!
