Hey Paul. Longtime fan of the channel! I just bought my first ISOtunes set and used your coupon code, so thanks for that! I ordered the PRO 2.0 and they were delivered yesterday, and I already love them! Can’t wait to get in the shop this evening to really try them out! Love your content! Keep up the good work! Seth

Have you seen or used the jointer/planer combo machines? They seem like a good tool for space savings and cost efficiency (if you don't have either tool already).

Nice tour, Paul. I really like those vertical drawers and your hideaway sharpening grinder. It's fun seeing clever new ways to squeeze some more space out of my small shop too. Looking forward to seeing how you spread out in the barn!

[@pathardage1880]

I juliet foxtrot love your shop. I set up a workshop for cub scout pinewood derbys in a 45' repurposed charter bus. It had nine workstations actually for a project-specific design. I absolutely love what you have done. Thank you for sharing your space.

[@jasonbarrett7654]

MITCH HEDBERG!!!!!!! What a great way to plug a sponsor! Thanks for such a thorough tour. It gave me a few ideas for setting up the shop at my new place. Can't wait to see what you come up with in all the space of your new shop. Keep up the great work!

Dennis Downes 1 second ago Over the years living in Rhode Island, I have been lucky enough to visit and work in quite a few old mill complexes; from the practically condemned to the high-end residential lofts. I never get tired of discovering all the cool spaces I come across; manufacturing, hobby, artist, storage, office. Every building has a million stories. Good luck with the new shop. DD

As retired military, thank you to you and your wife for both of your service. Great ideas for my own one car garage/workshop. Thanks.

[@TotalBoat]

Yay you moved to the river that's closer to us and can connect us. Now you gotta build the boat so you can come visit.

[@JackmanWorks]

Can't wait to finish fitting the shop out so that I can build a boat!!

[@peterfrommystic7890]

Nice job, I'm in a small space also. Something I've come to appreciate about drawers and lockers over the years in different shop spaces is how they cut down on visual stimulation. For me the less visual stimulation the easier it is to focus and in a sense the space seems quiet, or quieter.

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

Being a retired Navy guy myself I do not miss moving over and over and over and over again. I too was in RI for a bit so that is cool. I am not sure why I have never watched this video as I have watched many videos of yours...hmmm weird. Well anyway I need to really update my woodshop because right now its just not working out as a shop period but more of a catch all for junk and making it hard to even walk into the space. I am liking several things you got going on here so thank you for the great walk through.

[@GratefulMeds]

im a huge drawer guy too. It is all how organized and consistent you are about keep the tools and things in the same place always. If you keep going to a place for an item but you put it in another place move it and always stay consistent

[@JohnEich]

The modularity, both in cabinets and cleat walls, all on castors, is genius. I love how you dialed in the dust collection too, and carved little solutions (like the pipe clamp rack) into unused space. I'm stealing that vertical tool rack idea, brilliant! Looking forward to seeing how you customize the barn!

[@alexandertravis4428]

Welcome to MA from a fellow MA woodworker. I just bought my first house and I'm slowly setting up my own 1 car garage workshop. Really appreciate the efficiency you achieved, thanks for the inspiration!

Been hooked on your videos for a while now, and never realized you were in my area. My basement shop is also long and narrow, but has served me well over the years. Best of luck on your upcoming move, and please thank you wife for me for her service.

[@stevekalb5340]

Vertical drawers are genius! Something I plan to us and to make a huge difference when I set up my shop. Thanks for sharing that.

[@Everythingisgoingtobealright]

I like that you make really cool things in a modest shop. It’s easier to relate to than a big shop with all the best tools.

[@dannyberg4294]

I’m in the process of planning a massive reorganization of my shop (things cluttered everywhere) and this has given me some killer ideas! Thank you!! Love your videos man, can’t wait to see what crazy things you come up with in all this new space!

The part where you said about saving the tiny scraps that you're never going to use... I took that personally.

[@stephanieflorence8109]

Watching your shop evolve is proof that everything is what you make it. Its so awesome to see you take a small space and make it into something incredible. Hope you get to stay in your new spot for a while. Can't wait to see the new projects!

[@MrTaurusmagnus]

Oh the pain of moving shops during PCS moves. I went from a 2-car in TX to a 1-car in MD back to a large 2-car in TX and now a smaller 2-car. It's gotten to the point that I want to stop the dust collector ducting, especially after watching this vid. Good luck with the BARN!

[@incognitotorpedo42]

A six foot ceiling! Finally, a shop with a lower ceiling than mine. Mine's seven something. I'm glad you aren't wedged into that one any more. You latest shop is really nice.

[@thrillofthehunt7080]

GEEEZZZZ!!!!! Never would have guessed you were in a townhome in Washing DC. I pictured you being out in a large shop, or at least a large garage, surrounded by woods. More power to you! Also, thank your wife for her service.

That was such a great storage solution in that space! Trying to figure out a clamp rack for the new space right now actually.

I started to update my shop its a room of 10x12. I wanted to let you know that this gave me a huge boost of inspiration on how I can use my space more efficiently. 100% new fan and thanks for the share! I actually saw you on belts and boxes too!

[@ilive4livemusic]

As someone who has a basement shop that is only accessible from inside the house, shop layout is something I have to think about and focus on a lot. Like you, I determined early on that having everything on wheels for quick reconfigurations was essential. I love some of your other ideas and will be thinking about how to incorporate them into my layout. Thanks for a great video.

Wow glad u posted that. It’s been awhile. Glad to see everything is ok. Can’t wait to. See your new shop

[@lukewiezycki7550]

Thanks for making this video! I’m 17 and have a shop In a 12x8 shed and honestly I think it’s plenty big enough for all of my projects. (Primarily a woodturning shed)

Adam Savage: "I reject your drawers and substitute my own!"

I loved the false front drawer with the grinders…very interesting. Lol, I’m a drawer guy too. I like concealing most of my stuff as my shop also serves as my man cave.

I feel you on the space. I live in New York City but finally was able to buy a house with a basement! My workshop will be less than half the size as yours, but hey you make due. You really made the best of your space and gave me some inspiration.

[@paulcarlson3261]

As the Small Workshop Guy myself, I truly admire what you have accomplished organizationally! Great job!

[@flowoodpiano717]

I really appreciate tours of small shops like this. Mine is 143 ft^2 (11x13) and *inside* my house, a tiny one bed rental with no garage or exterior storage. I've spent the last two weeks trying to rearrange and make better use of my space, and every time I think I'm done I run across another problem.

[@jonnypardoe2072]

Proof that you can educational, inspirational and funny. Learned a lot - thank you. There’s a real feel good quality to this video.

[@woodworkerroyer8497]

On drawers, I think Adam Savage was talking more about the people who DON'T organize them, than the machinists or others who methodically put everything back in the same stops at the end of a project or day. I just recently got a tool chest and that thing is NICE. It helped me organize a bunch of stuff and even get rid of quite a few tools I don't need. When I get another one, I'll organize the stuff a bit more, but right now this thing is perfect

[@carpenter1138]

Agreed, also as a guy who has worked in and managed several professional shops I think woodworkers deal with way more dust (sawdust in our case) than anyone else so drawers and closing cabinets make way more sense to us. Adam Savage is more multi-material and also eclectic in nature - I think he likes to be able to "see" all his tools.

[@digitaIgorilla]

That old Barn looks idyllic! OMG, so beautiful. Lucky lucky bugger! Looking forward to seeing the new projects from there. Maybe even a pre-shop-tour-tour of the barn, it's construction and surroundings?

I have a similar overhead 2x4 storage system and that pipe clamp idea is genius. Going to do that this weekend and clear at least 6ft worth of clamps on a wall. Excellent shop and use of space. Good work man

[@thenatedog]

You forgot to share your pallet storage. Nice little shop. I have a similar space in the back of our garage. Previous owner worked on appliances so made a finished shop with a closet. Looking forward to the new shop videos.

[@JackmanWorks]

Can't believe I skipped past that! I actually had to rent a parking space for my trailer off site sine I couldn't park it at my apartment and I had a few feet at the back of the parking spot and just stored them all there :)

Wish I had a workshop as large as that, I have a 8' x 6' shed with all my tools in it, and no chance of moving to anything bigger for the foreseeable future. but it does work from March to October. Winter is a bit cold to work outside so all projects are put on hold for a few months. Good luck in your new workshop. Love your work and humour.

Thank you for showing your shop! I am about to move my shop into a one car garage and I had no idea how I was going to set it up. This gave me some great ideas! Thanks!

Still can't believe I was lucky enough to snag a space like this in government housing though

[@ryanivester5042]

Very nice shop tour. I love how you take a small space and customize it to your needs. Im in the process of doing that myself. I started a few years ago with my "shop" on my deck and a 8"x10" metal shed in the back yard. Then I moved to a large storage unit with 1 outlet and no AC ( Love Tennessee summers here..hot!). Now I'm in a 1 car garage like you (well technically a large 2 car but wife's car eats up 1/2 of it lol). Now with the weather cooling Im hoping to finally get the shop organized and set up. I like your idea of everything on castors so I'll try it myself.

[@JackmanWorks]

I can't even imagine TN with no A/C in a shop! Respect!

[@donny_bahama]

Less than 2 minutes in and I’m already blown away! Aside from the highly entertaining beefcake/standup intro, the shop is awesome - and so is the production quality. (And the Sketchup modeling…WHOA!) Looking forward to digging thru your archives. Thanks!

[@williamaugustus3296]

New to your channel. I realize this is 3 years old, but nice shop! I'm currently setting up in a 14'x19' garage, 9' ceilings, no heat, 2 power lines. Doing it on an extremely tight budget. After insulating, I'm ale to heat with a single space heater. I have to power it off while cutting, lol. I'm actually loving the smaller space though. Less area to clean/loose tools in. My Dryer is right on the other side of the wall so I appreciate the idea of tapping that 220. Didn't occur to me. We own so I'll add more lines eventually. I have a similar layout for dust collection. I'm using similar LED lighting. I agree about the bench-top drill press, jointer, anti-fatigue mats and drawers. Love the "tool wall" drawers and pipe clamp storage! Thanks for the ideas!
