Great little workshop - that mitre saw station is a fantastic solution 👍

[@brassroot166]

I tuned in as a result of a shout out from Grumpa's workshop; glad I did.👍

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thanks 😊

[@smooney82ify]

Necessity is the mother of invention, fair play Mark some great ideas here for any workshop.👍

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thank you so much all of you for coming in to have a look at what I do. I have @grumpa’sworkshop to thank for all of you. I’ve got over 50 subscribers in a short month. Thanks for your kind comments on how some of my ideas could help. I look forward to sharing more of my adventures. Please let me know of others in the community that I can connect with.

Here from Mr. Grump’s workshop. Looking like an interesting channel.

[@chriswoods7452]

So many great innovations here. I’m here on a Grumpa’s workshop recommendation and he was not wrong! Thanks 😊

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thanks Grumpa’s workshop . I’ve come back to my original trade as a cabinet maker looking to have fun sharing a love of all things wood. I’ve subscribed to your channel so enjoy .

[@terrytopliss9506]

Hi Mark,Grumpa gave a heads up to your channel. My workshop is a bit bigger than yours but I’ve a mobile bench which I like to keep clear for the purpose of marking out etc. To enable me to do so my vice and bench grinder are mounted on 18mm MDF so when I need to use them I take them from the shelf and clamp the to the bench. Hope this idea may be of help in your workshop.👍👍

[@tinman3728]

I'm liking the sandpaper shelf. Great idea!

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

[@CartersShed]

Grumpa sent me. Enjoying a look around your space. 👍

The bracket/gate idea is fantastic- my partner really needs this, thanks for the helpful tip!

[@utubephil100]

VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT - THANKS FOR SHARING

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thank you 😃

[@johnwhitley8562]

Awesome. It’s all about what works For each individual. Look forward to seeing what you make.

Very clever! A place for everything ………..

[@s9plus20]

You have done a brilliant job utilizing your space! Thanks for the video.

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

Love it. Like being nosey around other tiny workshops. 🙂

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thank you. When I’m back on my feet after my recovery I’m going to do an update tour as a fair bit has been added since I did this video. 😃

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

@@KAPWoodworkandbuilding Will look forward to it. Hope you are up to speed soon.

[@creepycrawlything]

Interesting and informative. Enjoyed my visit to your shed.

[@theswime945]

Thanks so much for all this ingenuity! We rent a small garden flat in London, no shed but access to some cellar space. I'm trying to ascertain ways of making it useable without creating any permanent fixtures- thankfully there's a door directly to the outside, so I can wheel out the table saw etc when it's dry weather, though during the pandemic it seems my neighbours on both sides are working from home, so I'm trying to be a bit sensetive about noise... So I dream of the shed I'd build in the available space, and you've helped! For now I'm taking your wheel castors idea to ponder. Look forward to your future posts! Cheers, Simon

[@tonyworkswood]

Looks like you know what and where things are going to finish up. Excellent use of your small space so far Mark. Tony

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thanks M

[@GrumpysWorkshop4]

Came from grumpa's workshop. Some great features you have come up with. Love the mitre saw stand & router table. Great ideas

[@chrisharrell2449]

Nice to see your video. In watching I thought of glass jars screwed up below your shelves might clear up some space for you. I look forward to seeing more of your videos it was very interesting

[@creepycrawlything]

The shelf below the windows would suit that. Screw the lids to the underside of the shelf, then the jars (which could be plastic nowadays, so safer) screw into the lids. Seen this in back-garden sheds all the way back to my maternal Grandpa and Great Uncle (Papa) in the 1950s.

[@alexSilva-qv3mw]

Congrats Sir ,amazing new ideas for tiny workshop keep on going you are right way .

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thanks

[@essentialhandyman]

Workshop tours... my favourite videos! New subscriber here. Got sent here by Weekend Shed Head. Absolutely love your storage ideas for the mitre saw, band saw, table saw and especially the router table. Very clever.

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thanks for watching. Very much appreciated 😃 I’m planning an updated workshop tour soon as my workshop has developed since I recorded this. Thanks Rob for suggesting my channel.

[@hermanusmostert7831]

Mate you are a God-sent. The misses gave me permission to build a tiny workshop. So now I own an 8x6 shed but have been racking my brain how to fit some of the toys I been collecting. Thanks for the inspiration. Will be stealing some of your designs. 🙂

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

That’s so good to hear. There will be a lot more content coming next year on my channel so please like and share. There’s so much pleasure in a small workshop and the fun is exploring how to make the space work. I will be doing an updated workshop tour in a month or so. Happy woodworking.

[@hermanusmostert7831]

Its doable in 8x6 mate. I've done it. Enjoy your adventures 🙂

Very impressive. You may be able to add fold-down legs to the router table to make it rock-solid.

[@robbrennan199]

did you mention you have a small space??

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Yes

Just subd , I’ve come over from Loz at grumpas workshop. Great workshop mate. Look forward to going through your videos. Everyone needs a workshop!! all the best Rob 👍

[@stevehough8528]

Hi Mark. Great use of space, I'm impressed! I have a small workshop (8' x 12') and this has helped me with spacing my kit. I'm looking forward to seeing the projects you tackle in your workshop.

[@David.M.]

Very nice Mark. I have a very small workshop as well, but probably slightly bigger than yours. Amazing what you have done with the space.

[@steveparkes1266]

Just found your channel and had to say what a great work shop with some really good space saving ideas 💡 I’ve just subscribed and I’ll make my way through your other videos 👍

[@markjohnson8390]

So impressed with your workshop, some great ideas in there. Especially liked the mitre saw and router table arrangements. Looking forward to future videos. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Mark it’s much appreciated. My name is Mark also.

I need a job this can you help me please

[@parveshussain4005]

Hi buddy liked your under bench router table & would love to know more info regarding parts & fitting also love the channel plenty of useful information. Thanks...

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

I made it over a year ago now. I used heavy duty draw runners for the sliding table base. You need these to hold the weight. I routed in T track so I could slide the fence backwards and forward using t track clamps. Fixing the router from underneath with a piece of Perspex. Thanks for watching the channel

[@C113PPY]

Did you do the electrics yourself? Would be good to see how you did it

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

No I didn’t , I use a qualified electrician.

[@StevenLarkin]

You really thought this through congrats on your creativity

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Thanks for your comments. Just because your limited with space doesn’t mean you should limit your ambitions. It’s a great community here sharing ideas.

[@christianpetersen1782]

Hi Mark, I’m envious of your w/shop; it puts mine to shame! I have too much ‘stuff’ stuffed in it. I’m in the long process of reorganising it so am happy to see your excellent ideas. Subbed!

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Hi Christian. Thanks so much for you subscribing. Wish you all the best with your reorganisation of your shop. Mark

[@Venomator.]

Hello Mark, Liked & Sub’d as requested - rude not to really after watching & enjoying your ‘Small Workshop Tour’, thank you for sharing your space and your creativity for getting the best out of it… ✅ Believe it, or not, my space (if you can call it that) is even smaller than yours at 2.5m square, so it’s great to see how you are organising to make the best of it. I have a few projects to complete but, when they are done, I will be reorganising to make better use of the space and will be checking back with your progress to ‘steal’ some ideas… 👍🏻

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Hi thanks so much for subscribing. Love that you have a small space you can use for projects. We are only limited by our creativity and imagination a small workshop isn’t a boundary it’s a platform to create whatever we want. There’s a lot on my channel so enjoy. I also have a lot of content around mens wellbeing. Take good care Mark

[@MrNigey147]

Hi Mark; I’m new to the whole workshop world, but I’m Currently planning on moving form basically a large tool shed with a small workbench and storage to a bigger workshop (similar to the size of yours). After watching and subscribing to lots of amazing woodworkers and diy ‘ers I have to say that this video has given me the most ideas and inspiration For my new workshop. Could I ask what is the height that you settled on for the bench and all the matching units on castors ? Looking forward to checking out all your other videos and learning all the while. Best wishes Nigel

[@KAPWoodworkandbuilding]

Hi Nigel thanks for watching and engaging with some great comments. It’s really appreciated. My bench height is 91cm. It worked out a bench height that was comfortable for me. I’m 6’1 tall. From there I build the mitre saw station and table saw stations on casters. When building work backwards from the 91cm which is the cutting bed of the saws. So I can use my bench as an extra table. The gate support on the door is the same height again 91cm. I put my bench parallel to the door so I can have long pieces sticking out. You don’t have to be restricted by size to have a great functional workshop space. Watch my first video workshop tour and many others to see how I can build big projects in a small space. Hope that helps All the best with you project Mark
