*Learn from the best in the industry! The Wood Whisperer Guild: **thewoodwhispererguild.com/*

[@TheHandystanley]

Love you guys!

[@meatwhisperer]

Thanks for sharing your experience as you move

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Awesome! ❤

[@gbjones54]

So excited for you and the family!,

[@glencrandall7051]

I'm happy that your new shop is proceeding well. I just hope that mine does a well.

[@RoughRide]

Blue screws for attaching to masonry, job done. Gl in the new shop.

[@jameslott7069]

Pull ups on a 3/4" ledge! Mark's got some muscle

[@SteveHayes1]

Great thumbnail of you two!

[@isaaczeitoun7767]

So happy for you and your family! Have fun and cut wood!

[@ewetuber186000]

Congratulations and wish you and your family all the best in Missouri!

[@itmeurdad]

I was sorry to see you leave us behind in the desert (read: utterly jealous), but I am excited to see where the journey takes you. I'm so happy see things coming together. I hope you can finally start turning your creative energies to more fulfilling projects and hopefully not feel overwhelmed by chores -- I know that's where I always end up when there's shop work to do.

[@thomasclemens1386]

Bummer I must have missed the episode where you talked about the open house. I hope to come and see your shop sometime in the future. I enjoy your stuff. Thanks

[@paulwilleford8934]

I've been following you for a little bit now and I just want to say I am happy fer you and good luck to you. Look forward to seeing more new videos in your new shop.

[@christopherlamoureux8617]

So happy for you man 👍

[@realpdm]

Ooh ! my 5 seconds of fame seeing my name in a video! Glad to see things are coming together and you can get back to what you love doing. That said I can imagine the excitement you must have despite all the work of setting up this new and unique space just for you. Such an exciting time for you guys on this new chapter.

[@meatwhisperer]

That’s some nice lighting!

[@nsanerydah]

Loving the logos!!

[@TheWoodLab]

So cool seeing the firehouse become a true shop! So happy for you guys. 🙌

[@emilevoyer123]

NICE TO YOU SETTLING IN, GOOD LUCK IN YOUR NEW SPACE. EMILE & KATHY FROM CT.

[@MCsCreations]

The place is looking fantastic already, guys! Congrats! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TomIovino]

You guys are the best! Many happy years of building in that space!

[@pettigrewwoodworks]

Sheathing the inside of my shop with T1-11 was one of the smartest things I did in the build. Can hang anything anywhere! Congrats on the new shop!

[@jeffwilder7117]

Shop looks great! Wood love to have one that size. Looking forward to seeing some projects now!! One bit of advice maybe, when kneeling down on your knees a set of gel knee pads wood help a great deal, just to prevent the possibility of a total knee replacement I just went thru.wish I had used them.

[@northernhumidor5615]

Congrats! Looks great

[@brettdobbs6825]

Shop looks great. Love how you keep everything organized!

[@TheWoodenHobbyist]

Glad you got it all together. Excited to see the stuff you create up here in Missouri!

[@EK--ry3lr]

Looking pretty good!

[@bigburlymikesmswoodworking]

It was great meeting both of you (and, of course, mama Spagnuolo as well). Can't wait to watch this ever-evolving journey as it unfolds.

[@DennerBob]

Loved footage of the open houses in the end there. Looking forward to the great work you guys do in the space!

[@gordoncrates3508]

Greetings from Bristol UK. Looking forward to seeing new projects in the new workshop. I'm a joiner myself.

[@jasonpaske2092]

Good lookin shop

[@n8wrl]

So cool so see this come together for you. Congratulations!

[@clocktowertx]

Congratulations Marc and Nicole! Thank you for letting us follow your story. I’m starting a 50x50 shop build early next year from the ground up and I always get new ideas from you guys.

[@tomim7187]

I'm in the credits! My name is in the Credits! This is the kind of instant publicity to make things happen! (Sorry, Mr. Martin if I paraphrased you in jest.)

[@carolinaworkshop7091]

The shop looks great.

[@perry-ad]

I don't know who the guy is who wants to live his life a quarter-pounder at a time and maybe get some fishing in that afternoon, but he's the hero we need right now.

[@littlehousewoodworking5292]

Congratulations on making the next milestone at the Firehouse! Sorry I missed the Open House, but will try to catch the next one. Good luck with your future projects!

[@richd8537]

The Guild is where you can learn from some of the best instructors...and from a guy doing home reno and barn building. 😄😜 just kidding Matt!

[@antonoat]

Big congrats, it’s looking great 👏👍😀 PS I genuinely didn’t how funny you and you pal are 🤣👍😀

[@HuntsWorkshop]

Great new space! Amazing the support and how fast you all got this done. Teamwork makes the dream work!

[@jlbfd9389]

I can’t count the number of times I have made a clever over engineered really cool device to hang something, and then didn’t think to make sauté where I hung it worked. Thanks I feel better about my goofs now!👍

[@jeremyspecce]

Incredible autocorrect fail. 👍🏻🤣

[@travisdemonbreum8505]

Love it!

[@woodwhisperer]

Me too! 😀

[@kerryflatt5391]

Congrats Marc, I know the overwhelming feeling of wanting everything done and in it's place NOW, but it just takes time after a major move. In a few months it will all be worth it and with your experiences moving and setting up your previous shops from scratch, I feel like this will soon be your favorite space of all your shops. From a fan's standpoint, I see lots of changes but what struck me most...Wow your kids are growing up. I hope you're taking some time to relax, you (and Nicole) deserve it!

[@richhubert1260]

i have always loved and really enjoyed your format! I wish more teachers were like you! all the best in your new house!

[@richardseabright448]

Wish you the best. I find your content real and relevant. Looking forward to your next project.

[@woodwhisperer]

I really appreciate that!

[@jeffreysmith5018]

Cool cool cool ! What a great project with a really great outcome. I’m really looking forward to projects in your new shop and super happy I could be a very small part of the entire process 😃😃

[@dermotpeacock2015]

anchors should probably be driven into the block or brick the grout is the weakest part of the wall it tends to crumble easily when it being drilled into. you should check every now and then to see if they are coming loose. And the shop looks great

[@woodwhisperer]

Understood. The mrotar is the lesser of the two evils. See the reasons why in the video. :)

[@paulwaldrop]

Shop looks great.

[@leapinglemurcraftworks6426]

I sponsored this knowing I would not be able to get out there for a “tour”. I’ve gotten a lot out of your videos over the years so I figured it was the least I could do. One of these days I’ll get a chance to build all the projects I got from the guild……now I’ll just wait patiently for my hat 🤣. Oh, I think you need more clamps

[@ericofadel]

Oh! I built your hanging plane till yesterday! It was a great project, your plans are very well made!

[@woodwhisperer]

Thank you very much!

[@ianalbritton6102]

Marc, I have enjoyed watching the transformation and trouble solving you have been doing on the new work shop. But I had to go back and stop the video at 6:05. That T-shirt you are wearing is hilarious and so appropriate three days before Halloween!

[@andrewv5104]

I have some of the American Green Lights and the high CRI really makes a difference. Some day i'll upgrade my shop lights to them but right now I have way bigger projects to worry about.

[@johnframe6393]

I'm still using a T8 florescent in my shop. 6500k bright white. I've done a little shopping to convert to LED. I like the 6500k, how do you get that out of LED? Is that the hi CRI?

[@Rich32262]

Hanging cabinets. 2" X 4" the length of all cabinets to be hung. Level it and use a screw on each end (maybe a 3rd screw in the center depending on length) to temporarily hold in place. Sit a cabinet on top of the 2" X 4", screw to wall, next. No more leveling each one or juggling.

[@harleytakuachemode]

The content we need. 🎉😊

[@marcbarash6045]

great information

[@simonmarcoux5879]

The METAL! Heck yeah!!!

[@davidmartin9045]

Great looking shop neighbor (N.E. Ar.)

[@dannybaker2763]

Hans, Fransham, and Worf in the same vlog! Nice.

[@BMOORE344]

looks like an awesome place to build in.

[@grantnelson7717]

A video, with expert input on lighting, would be interesting. For example, as I understand it, a high CRI does not mean the light color will be close to daylight, it means you will see the most natural colors at a given light temperature (Kelvin). Then you have the choice of which light temperature to use. A high Kelvin is perceived as brighter, and makes it easier to see details, and is closer to daylight. But inside a house, most people use low kelvin lights, similar to the old incandescent lights, which are general felt as warmer and more cozy. Oh, and do not forget lus (or lumen!?) - the overall brightness intensity. Which do you want in your shop? Well, always a high CRI I would think (but they are more expensive). Most furniture is inside, so I would lean toward a lower kelvin. But I need to see things sharply, and then added some temperature, and would choose lights in the middle. And I went for the general operating room level of lumens plus a bit... and spread out the source to avoid shadows as much as possible... This is what I learned from reading a lot, but it would be great to hear how rational my thinking was (is) from some experts in the field...

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

Man. I missed the even you guys did. But looks like you had a great turn out. So cool!!! Can’t wait to see the shop in action.

[@dennisdownes9319]

Congratulation on "finishing." Tip...stay out of the grout seams. They are not as strong and will weaken with the small stress of putting tools on and off. You can drill the brick only as deep as you need your anchor and not go all the way through! Good Luck. DD

[@sawlgood]

Hey Marc. There is a big difference between a hammer drill and a roto-hammer. If you find drilling holes in masonry to be frustrating try a roto-hammer. Not strictly necessary in grout but it’s a must in concrete or stone. Cheers mate, shop is looking awesome

[@JimHester]

Man, I need to pay more attention to IG. I was in St Louis on Saturday.

[@woodworksbygrampies1284]

Hola! 🖐Congratulations!👏It is looking really, really, good AND BRIGHT! Take care and have a good one, Adios!👊

[@Builtbybross]

Welcome to Missouri! I live right down the road and am excited for you to have picked the old firehouse as your new shop. I’d love to meet you and show you my pile of walnut and other species I’m going to cut up with our sawmill. It’s mostly figured logs with lots of character or really large logs for slab material.

[@woodwhisperer]

Thanks so much David! To try and avoid issues with recording we are going to get a way for people to make appointments at the shop since the doors won’t always be open in the winter. Look forward to meeting you

[@Builtbybross]

@@woodwhisperer I totally understand, I wanted to stop by when you were remodeling but was super busy and then I saw you starting to put out new videos so I definitely did not want to mess up your filming. What’s a good email that I can send my contact info to or is it on your website?

[@fleurdelune5240]

❤️❤️!!

[@doctoroctos]

At this point you should just make a wood shop on wheels :) America Tour, here we come!

[@johndingmansr.5895]

I see you building a handtool wall display in your new shop so that must mean you’re the wood whisper again 😂😂😂

[@rolandgdean]

I look forward to seeing your new work in the new space. Your content makes me want to do more on MY channel. Just you being the goofy nerd that you are OPENLY makes me feel better about being a goofy nerd myself. It's teaching me that I should embrace it as you have and use my nerd powers to build a massive empire similar to yours. I've hidden most of my nerd-ness in my content but I think that I shall let it out in some way that doesn't involve rolling EVEN more low-by toons on WoW. >.

[@woodwhisperer]

Let your freak flag fly, brother!

[@bobleeswoodshop7919]

Hey Mark, the shop looks great, my wife and. I are thinking about a trip to your area in the the spring time. Would it be ok if we stop the shop? Regards Bob Lee

[@jerrycomo2736]

I was going to comment about the plastic deep sink and that you should budget and plan for a replacement someday made of stainless steel, but it looks like it was already done.

[@woodwhisperer]

yeah we had a timing issue where the plumber was here but the ss sink hadnt arrive yet. So we just had him work with the cheap plastic one and we connected the SS version when it arrived a week later.

[@clickster1883]

It’s really too bad you guys don’t have any fun while working on projects. 🤔 Also, that Wall O’ Clamps is a thing of beauty.

[@mpmfr]

You guys had an event and didn’t invite me?! I’m practically down the street! 😩😢😩

[@robb4751]

What part of Missouri did you move to? I am about an hour west of St. Louis

[@johndoe6032]

Looking good! I’m sure you already considered it, but just wondering why you don’t try aiming for the middle or sides of the concrete blocks where there’s no cavity. Just too worried you’ll miss it?

[@woodwhisperer]

We are aiming for the sides. Ideally the mortar lines between two adjoining blocks. Should be the safest location to drill.

[@kjkaratejason]

You've turned the firehouse into a firehome

[@frankpratt529]

Nice lights. But I will say I'm a little disappointed there are no box offsets in the conduit connecting them :)

[@mishellekochel4510]

Thrilled for you!! Keep going and keep sharing. Your builds were part of our discussion with our @731 Woodworks meet and greet. We have several "favorites"!

[@charlie1923gc]

Where is your firehouse Shop? I am 71 and always up for a road trip. We are in N.E. Mo.

[@bretgalbraith316]

What area of Missouri did you relocate too?

[@johnnielsen7413]

Ok, all right

[@joshgay2385]

A clamp rack with plans, and then a whole pile of the miscellaneous rockler ones that make the mere thought of trying to build any of the clamp racks with plans that I've seen disintegrate because 10 screws later boom all the clamps are hung....

[@helmutnirag5242]

You need MORE clamps. :-)

[@spacesaverbob]

When I saw the clamps, I sort of mumbled something like, "Holy Fork!" I think I see more money tied up in clamps there, than what I paid for my first car. In addition to my "collection" of less than ideal pipe clamps, I do have... *thinks * 10 (ten!) Bessy clamps of various lenghts, and I thought I was "doin' real good" on the clamp end of things. First of all, I do have "clamp envy". Just wanted to point that out. I'm certainly not "talking down" your clamp collection. And secondly, I suspect that if I had the room for, and then purchased that many "Bessy" style clamps, there would be a definite disturbance on the "Domestic Tranquility" front.

[@janitorbob2008]

See the trick is to be the good spouse and do the shopping, and get a few bucks back in cash, store the money in an old sock then when you have enough buy them 1 or 2 at a time and smuggle them in. Next leave a few laying around so there is always empty slots in your clamp rack, then when there is a sale you pick up a few just to fill out the rack.

[@roberttexas3618]

Why are the walls filled with vermiculite?

[@tim_biller]

Not enough clamps ... ;-)

[@johndecker2799]

Found my name and am waiting for my package

[@moehoward01]

I don't think you have enough clamps.

[@user-nw6sj4sf7q]

Earlier this year my wife and I travelled to visit her family and announce that we were expecting our first baby. Missouri had just become a legal recreational marijuana state. It had been some time since had partook but it was offered to me and I thought “what the heck let’s give it a try. It’ll be relaxing after our road trip from wisconsin”. We’ll I quickly became sick and decided it was time to leave. Of course I had the wife drive us back. A few minutes into the drive I became increasingly sick and had to tell her to pull over so I didn’t yak in the car. She stopped at the first place we saw that wasn’t a house. Long story short, I am very sorry for leaving my lunch in your parking lot, Marc. I hope you at least found humor in the security cam footage. I owe you a 6 pack of your favorite beer.

[@arnsworth]

It's still not enough clamps....

[@woodwhisperer]

Never enough 😂

[@webjr1981]

Found my name.

[@davidtaxer316]

wait a sec.... didn't you build a bad ass shop at you house to work out of a while back? Is this a new larger space?

[@silverbackag9790]

He moved from Calirodo to land of milk, honey, and freedom of Missouri. Bit too close to Chicago 2.0 (Saint Louis County) though.

[@jimfeaster4837]

Did they film deliverence in Missouri ?

[@silverbackag9790]

You going through all of his posts to make stupid assed deliverance remarks? You weren’t funny the first three times.

[@was7g]

Lol, look how Jason doesn't need any of the little girly man protective gear that Marc wears!

[@milkod2001]

Enough of this. Build something already will you! 😀
