The Ultimate One-Car Garage Woodshop Tour!

[@danjparsons80]

I've seen dozens of shop tours and this is the first time I've seen a first aid kit and a fire extinguisher. 2 items that are often over looked. Nice video

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@kennethblack2269]

Currently setting up my own small shop. The first aide kit crossed my mind the other day, and now thanks to your video, a fire extinguisher is adde to the shopping list. Nice little shop you have there!

[@reef4hmmm]

Very true!!

[@Natedoc808]

gauze, alum pencil, super glue, fire extinguish

[@jrtmanmd]

...and not to mention the laundry for when thing get a bit dirty! :-)

[@anacojake]

Hey Blake! I've been watching and learning woodworking videos on KZbin intently for over a year and this is the first time I've commented on anyone's stuff. I'm a huge fan of Jay Bates and April Wilkerson, etc., so it's funny that Jay happened to be the most recent comment below me, here, after 100's of comments. Your videos are superb, especially considering that these appear to be your first few ever!? I'm impressed with your demeanor and how down to earth you seem. I also respect that you don't have a shop full of brand-new state of the art equipment that's barely used, if you know what I'm saying? I appreciate and respect your craftsmanship and I LOVE the vibe and ideas that you have going in your shop! Wow. I am developing a shop in about 1/3 of a 2 car garage and there are dozens of things that you do and ideas that you give and that I model and aspire to do myself. I've been utilizing a dust deputy for a year, now, and swapping between small tools, but it doesn't work well for larger tools and I just received a new planer and am acquiring a jointer in short order, so I need to move to something dedicated with far larger CFM and 4" ducting. I only have 2 disappointments in learning about you and your channel... 1. You only have a couple videos so I'm limited in what I can learn from you! 2. You haven't yet gone big with dust collection yet, which is currently my next big project. You and I are like-minded in many ways and I would think that you'll do dust separation/collection similarly to how I would. Giving you a hard time a bit, here, but I wanted you to know and be encouraged that I just love who you seem to be and how you are doing what you do! I have far less experience or skills than you do and don't know if you care to have any advice or suggestions, but I couldn't help notice you struggling with that standard wood glue bottle when trying to get glue into those narrow cracks between lams in the plywood that you split during your router enclosure glue-up. Have you seen these by Fastcap? www.fastcap.com/estore/pc/viewPrd.asp?idproduct=57367. They're unbelievable, only cost a few bucks, and are one of the best values for the money in my entire shop! The mini version with it's fine tips would have knocked that project out of the park. Just sayin. Anyway, I am sure looking forward to hundreds more of your videos! Thanks again for putting in the time to make them and your willingness to share you shop tour pretty much first thing (others often wait years to get to that)! Learning a TON and appreciate you, man! ;-) LEIF

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks for the kind words! I don’t have one of those glue bottles but the original glue bottle actually works great for forcing glue down into cracks because the flat hole can create a nice seal against the wood if you push hard enough.

[@andrukat]

I have seen lots of wood shop videos but this is my favorite. Super creative, organized, fun. Lots of good ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@andrewmccarthy9839]

Excellent use of space! I'm a beginner woodworker and I'm of the mind to move my humble workspace from my basement with very low ceilings to my one car garage for more vertical space and less indoor noise. This was the first video I found on that subject and I am very inspired, thank you for sharing!

[@weberwoodshop]

Nice! You're welcome!

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

The "Tiny House" of wood shops. Incredibly efficient use of your space. Can you imagine all the wives out there whose husbands have much larger shops? If they saw this video, they'd be asking their husbands why they needed so much space. And you've even accommodated your family in your space with the laundry area, bike storage, "attic" storage and craft corner. Well done, and you have a new subscriber.

[@weberwoodshop]

Hahahaha don’t let them watch this I guess ;)

[@Kianrui]

The most tidy and clean workshop on KZbin even the dimensions is small

[@mattcarlisle9532]

This one car garage makes my british one car garage look like a 0.5 car garage! This is awesome none the less and gives me loads of ideas!

[@jbwise2002]

Legit shop, you’re a great example of what can be done with drive and creativity. As a hobbyist I can see so many great ideas.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks a lot :)

[@felixfromnebraska8648]

Blake, I just revisited this video because I am searching for ideas for my shop. I also work out of a single bay garage. Actually, I have a 3 car, but living in Nebraska the cars need to stay inside during the cold winter months. I have approximately 245 sq ft., so organization is a necessity. I love the way you have thought out and implemented your spaces.

[@weberwoodshop]

Felix From Nebraska Thanks Felix! Glad I could be of some inspiration! Good luck with the garage!

[@drewblicious]

I bought my house about a year ago and it has a shed the size of a one car garage in the back yard. I’ve been watching your video over and over again trying to get my shop set up similar to yours. It’s coming along great. Thanks for all the tips. I still need a drill press and shop vac

[@Clutterbug]

Amazing!! Not only super organized and practical but it looks great, too!

[@weberwoodshop]

ClutterBug thank you!

[@simonr6793]

This has to be the most light hearted shop walkaround I have ever seen 👍🇬🇧

[@MrRyanxdavey]

I've gotten about 20 ideas I'm going to incorporate into my new shop in the first 11 minutes of this video. Fantastic work, on both the shop and video!

[@weberwoodshop]

Ryan Davey awesome thank you!

[@MONEYZ123]

As someone who only has a 15'x11' garage, this video gives me lots of inspiration and ideas. Thanks for posting!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@trekkiepro]

That rotating sander/planer table is just perfect! Love it!

[@stefanmikenorway]

Considering the small amount of space this is a truly amazingly well organized and equipped shop which looks very practical for working in. I remember when you made your first shop from an old chicken coup. This one reflects your progress to date. From what little I can see, your house looks like it has had quite a miraculous update as well. Have fun!

[@weberwoodshop]

Yeah good to see some of the old LJ crew here! Thanks!

[@crown56travel]

WOW. I thought I was organized. I feel like completely reorganizing my shop now. Lol. Awesome shop. Great job.

[@weberwoodshop]

marty lebsack yeah go for it! Thanks!

[@larryag99]

Five years in the making, and NOW you can get started on some projects...lol. There are show shops, and then there are working shops. One can always tell the difference between the two. It does look nice though... great job !

[@weberwoodshop]

larryag99 what are you implying?

[@JasonGilbertAlsoKnownAsJazz]

Saw the bandsaw tensioning setup, and immediately subscribed!!! Genius!!

[@weberwoodshop]

Jason Gilbert Awesome Thanks!

[@David-hm9ic]

WOW! What incredible organization and efficient planning. I just sold my house with a 1300 sq ft shop. (Lived in CA and had a GF in Los Gatos many years ago so I know how expensive it is to buy housing there.) Moved from the NM desert to a Houston suburb; first time to live in suburbia in a long time. The shop can only be 20x20 but I build large RC airplanes, do metal machining and have other life long hobbies to work into that small-to-me shop. You are inspiring!

[@weberwoodshop]

David Dale thanks glad you enjoyed it! Have fun setting up the new shop!

[@Joburgbass]

May I just say: "Wow!" Great shop. Inspiring.

[@weberwoodshop]

Tony Vink thanks!

[@twalsh1490]

Brilliant use of space, light, color and texture. Several nice little innovations I may copy. Particularly liked the diamond-shaped sacrificial insert on the drill press table.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@UrbanShopWorks]

Blake your attention to detail is outstanding both in your shop and your video production! I look forward to seeing more from you and you have your self a new subscriber!

[@weberwoodshop]

Urban Shop Works thanks! That means a lot and I am definitely making more videos. In fact I just uploaded one :)

[@wolfreicherter748]

likewise

[@btrswt35]

That drill press table, with the offset center piece and the screw height adjustment, is a totally awesome idea! I wish I would have seen this when I made mine.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@JoshuaJay1000]

Great use of the space, I’m in the process of turning my one car garage into a wood shop right now and this gives me hope lol

[@weberwoodshop]

Joshua Johnson nice, glad to hear it!

[@jeremiahjackson117]

Your knack for not over explaining everything and dope taste in background music is a refreshing shift from the others I’ve been watching. I just acquired a delta bandsaw similar to yours and would love some help in sourcing the right parts to get her properly tuned up. Nice job man. Thanks for posting

[@ronh9384]

An excellent use of space and layout Blake. You have a really good setup in a small space and have some good ideas. The DEWALT tablesaw was my first tablesaw and was an excellent saw. You have some novel ideas such as the pen holder on the bench and your drawer unit with hand carved dovetail handles, etc. Very cool. New subscriber.... Ron

[@weberwoodshop]

Ron H Thanks Ron!

[@meliodas4560]

Been looking all over the place for different shop ideas - taking my unfinished 2-car garage and converting half into a workshop. TONS of ideas here - thanks! Your shop looks *really good*! The thought you have put into organization and aesthetics is obvious.

[@owenjennings8575]

Very good use of space. I too have a one car garage workshop and was looking for some ideas. I think I found some. Thanks.

[@weberwoodshop]

Oh perfect :)

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Great little space you have created for yourself. Shows you don't need a giant shop to make. I really like the small scale woodworking bench. That could fit almost anywhere. Ideal idea! Good work and good luck.

[@JayBates]

Great use of space! I'm looking forward to more of your videos :)

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks Jay!

[@pierrerousseau8770]

This has got to be the best organized shop i have ever seen ! I especially like the quick action tensionning system on your band saw...ingenius!!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@howtofixitworkshop]

Great video! Nice to see that a small space can offer just as much function as a large one

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks! It absolutely can.

[@denoro.]

It might sound weird but this is not (just) a workshop. This is a playground. And those are not (just) tools, they're toys. Cause on the inside, we're still kids. And it's an incredible feeling to live doing what you like, and feel like playing.

[@weberwoodshop]

denoro true ;)

[@Neptune730]

Love the shop. I liked seeing how you have it organized. It gives me some ideas. I have a 12x24 shop I'm waiting to get set up. My shop will mostly be for metal though. I have to get the house back in order first from Hurricane Harvey. Then it will be full tilt for the shop, and maybe KZbin as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@weberwoodshop]

Neptune's Creations Thanks and that’s awesome have fun with setting up shop!

[@iowamatt2519]

Nice shop Blake, my wife just walked by me while I was watching your video and thinks u have more clamps than me. She understands the use of clamps unlike many women, it's one of the most underrated tools u can own.

[@weberwoodshop]

ha ha ha its true, thanks!

[@c130steve]

Excellent use of space. Nice shop for any size.

[@joeframer9642]

Ran into this channel somehow. I’m a framer so I can appreciate the pride you have in your tools and workshop....

[@weberwoodshop]

Yes, thank you!

[@Stephens8x6Workshop]

Fantastic layout :-) I would love that sort of space. I work out of an 8ft x 6ft shop - really :-)

[@weberwoodshop]

You can make that work too my friend!

[@orangeorchid9067]

This has to be the neatest, most organized, most well planned workshops I’ve ever seen! Good job!

[@weberwoodshop]

Orange Orchid thank you!

[@dougburke50273wind]

You have a small shop like my shop. Great video, looking forward to more videos.

[@weberwoodshop]

Douglas Burke thank you!

[@jessicadurrell]

Douglas Burke PBS KIDS

[@donaldshulman6771]

Blake - The shop is beautiful. With all of your work and organization, the shop feels bigger. Get to work and build lots of interesting projects!!!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks and I will!

[@maconSTUFF]

Wow man... that is a "dream shop"... you have one new subscriber... all the way from Namibia... greetings

[@weberwoodshop]

Wow, nice. Greetings!

[@nolanriegsecker7131]

Make up your mind is that a chop saw or is that a miter saw a real wood worker would know the difference

[@weberwoodshop]

Nolan Riegsecker it’s both. The term is interchangeable.

[@dirtyfingernailsauto8946]

@@weberwoodshop Actually its not . A Chop saw is used in metalworking a Miter saw is used in Woodworking . For intent and purpose here it COULD be universal , but if you want to start calling things by the proper terms , then its a Miter saw ! Sorry i was typing with my Pen , I mean Keyboard .......... wait

[@weberwoodshop]

DirtyFingernails Auto people use different terminology in different places I guess.

[@slanwar]

I have a 12x20 shop and I can’t barely move and watching this video I realized moving everything against the walls leaving the middle empty is the best solution. I have a Dewalt table saw (sold my Jet because was too big) and I built in front the saw a feed/assembly table.

[@wayfastwhitie455]

That is a awesome little well organized shop you got there. I'm hoping one day to get mine all done up and as clean as yours.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks! Just one thing at a time :)

[@blackattack2469]

And thanks for the laundry idea. I'm new to woodworking but I have some decent tools but I wasn't sure what to do about the wash machine/dryer next to the heating system that take up 1/2 of the west wall of my garage. So thanks for the idea. Great job all around.

[@kellyklaask7su990]

I've watched quite a few wood shop tours and you are the first one I've seen who also uses a DeWalt 746 Woodworker table saw! I have had one for a lot of years and I love it! Too bad they quit making them! I think they had a winner. Thanks for the video.

[@BlakeHaskins]

very well produced video, love the intro

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks Blake!

[@JamieEnglish]

Probably one of the cleanest and nicest shops I have ever seen.

[@weberwoodshop]

Hey thanks!

[@plumbthumbicus]

You had me at “infinite cutting length”.

[@weberwoodshop]

lance bates haha yup ;)

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

According to Google Earth your "infinite" cutting length is only 214ft. The neighbor across the street has a backyard fence,hence inhibiting your total free space for cuttage.

[@plumbthumbicus]

Kevin CinnamonToast just need to get an easement.

[@georgecourt7158]

I was so happy the day my wife agreed to take the three bicycles we never used out of the garage and into the garden shed- now I had a workshop. 1 car but still. I envy your high ceiling. Shows what happens when you say "How" instead of "No way"

[@weberwoodshop]

George Court yup! Thanks!

[@JW77]

Wow. Now if I could only convince my wife to park her SUV on the driveway...

[@weberwoodshop]

EJ Wu get her a puppy ;)

[@AdamsLeatherWorks]

Blake, your shop is incredible! That corner desk setup is sweet. So much visually interesting things going on in that shop.

[@weberwoodshop]

Adams LeatherWorks Thanks!

[@dancingdaisydesigns531]

Wow, your shop is real nice & very well thought out!

[@weberwoodshop]

Shaina Spradlin Thank you!

[@danieldegennaro5606]

You hit a home run with this shop. Tool city! I too have a one car garage: 11' x 22'. I have added a 3 hp cyclone dust collector. I've built bathroom vanities, large armoirs, dressers, an entire set of kitchen cabinets, Morris chairs, etc.Drop by if you're ever in Concord.

[@weberwoodshop]

Nice!

[@Mr-Weber]

Love your shop and your name 🤪

[@weberwoodshop]

Maybe we’re family

[@sharpeguns1]

Very nice, Mr Weber. Hope your able to continue in a State that forced me to move. Moving a Shop is a terrible experience. But I purchased a 8,000 sq ft building. Now I ham building my Machine Shop next to my Gun and coin store, and a new woodshop upstairs. God Bless you on your endeavors. In his will.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thank you!

[@DGFX64]

To add a bit of Crocodile Dundee..."Now that's a woodshop..!!!"

[@ddmbaya]

You have an awesome shop...I have a 12’ x 18’ she shed shop and I’m trying to organize it so your shop is a great example of what can be done. I have all the toys except a band saw for which I’m scouring all the sales. Got started woodworking a few years ago at 65 and plan on continuing for a very long time. I love building unusual thing like a 25” x 6 pirate ship for a party and an erupting Volcano that was 8’ tall and 8 1/2’ at base. Thanks for showing me that a complete shop can be made out of a small space.....🤪

[@weberwoodshop]

ddmbaya the projects sound unique and awesome! Thanks!

[@blackattack2469]

ddmbaya Hi Ddmbaya! I’m 63 & just starting. Share your work please. 🤗🤗🤗

[@kingoffoxez]

where's the broke in chairs and the kegerator?nevermind this must be a 2 part video..lol.

[@JustinDepew]

Great shop! Everything you need and nothing you don't. Working in a small space I can appreciate how you have maximized yours.

[@weberwoodshop]

Justin Depew thanks! It’s been a fun challenge.

[@fasteddieskustoms]

I'm Jealous.....lol

[@pawpawstew]

Yeah, this is two years old, but it's still relevant. I'm working in a 13'x17' one-car garage bay as well. Sometimes, trying to figure out where to place tools, benches, etc. is like playing a game of Tetris, and you've done a great job.

[@weberwoodshop]

Pawpaw Stew yeah thanks and I love Garage Tetris!

[@olivernash5630]

Really nice use of space! Single garages in the UK tend to be small and your build gives great inspiration for my own space-saving endeavours :-) Thank you.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thank you!

[@jackstickfort]

Dude this is amazing! My in-laws live in Santa Cruz and love the area! One block from the beach means you got a steal! Awesome tour of the shop! Would love to see it in person! This is close to what my dream shop would be!

[@MoMartz09]

Fantastic! Thanks for the tour. I wish more KZbinrs or DIYers would do more of those videos to help the rest of us for inspiration. Great job!

[@weberwoodshop]

M. Martinez thank you!

[@james112098]

My hat is off to ya Blake. You turned your clutter into a dream. I am trying to do the same. I work 90+ hrs a week. What is crazy is when I do get a chance to get something done I often find myself drooling with brain block. I guess I'll get there some day. Thanks for the tour. It gave me a few ideas.

[@weberwoodshop]

Are there even that many hours in a week? Thanks!

[@antennasbc]

Wow, I cannot believe how well you have that set up. What a great use of your space. I have a triple car garage and it's not nearly as well done as that! I will take what you have done to improve my space. Thanks for showing us.

[@weberwoodshop]

You’re welcome, glad I could help :)

[@knitordi]

My late husband, a machinist by trade, would have sold his soul for a shop like this. Wonderful shop!

[@weberwoodshop]

Diana Hilton thank you!

[@nvz357]

You have done an amazing job of organizing the space you have. You can be very proud of what you have accomplished.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thank you!

[@jaredjohnson8553]

Wow! What an amazing use of space. Your workshop is an inspiration!

[@thefarmlife2958]

Blake, very innovative ideas making great use of the space you have. The use of the remote for the dust collector is an excellent idea as well! Your video has me inspired to get my shop turned into a functional dream shop! Looking forward to the future videos!

[@BobAmarant]

Wow, you sure packed a lot into that man cave. Love the design , the colors and the paint sticks! Well done sir.

[@jasonbice1103]

One of the most efficient uses of a small space i've seen...good job.

[@weberwoodshop]

Cool thank you!

[@jvl3215]

Awesome planning and creativity.You wood shop is truly amazing .Cheers from India 🇮🇳.

[@camerafusion]

A True Master Craftsman! Didn't know they still existed 😂 Not only your wood work but the quality of your videos, the amount of work it takes to create these... it's insane. Hopefully you get to spend some time with your family, lol. Truly inspiring Blake!!!

[@Mangler316]

Thank you. Just seeing that someone out there is keeping the dream alive is satisfying.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks :)

[@larrystadler2923]

Great use of space....I also work out of a single car garage and being up North in the snow capital of Erie Pa. I can’t use my drive way 3 months out of the year! Sill trying to utilize all my square footage!thinking of adding on to the garage but limited on funds.....I also turn wood on a Jet lathe that takes up a good amount of space it’s 4216 and with the lathe tools I need more room! Never enough room or enough clamps! lol

[@emeltea33]

What a well thought out space. Great to have the various circuits. Icing on the cake: Altec Lansing speakers, I have too have a set, and they must be almost 20 years old - still sound great!

[@StonesAndSand]

Awesome tour, and very creative use of space and equipment. I believe you've elevated it beyond shop status to studio status.

[@austinstubblefield9907]

Love seeing the old school bandsaw. I have the same model in my shop. I’d love to see more about the modifications you have made.

[@AmanOU2be]

I want one of these, but, for nerds. Computer parts. Soldering desk. Test bench. So forth. If I had any woodworking ability, I would love this one, too.

[@369dusty]

I will not complain anymore about the size of my "workshop" are in my double plus garage and my 10 x 16 attached shop !!! Very impressive, well thought out work space !!! We make up for the Norm Abrams type shops !!!

[@MattPeterson103]

Great shop, sir. Always good to see people making stuff out of a space anyone can get there hands on. Thanks for the video!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@elsonb4515]

Hi Blake. Your shop is like a dream. Absolutely well built. Congratulations!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks man!

[@ecrusch]

Well equipped and well organized brother. No wasted space there.And, being a serious woodworker, I know how hard it was to get it that clean for your tour. Great tour. Thank you Blake. Eric central Florida

[@weberwoodshop]

Ahh yes, I was literally holding back on several projects because I needed to keep it clean until I was done organizing and filming. Thanks!

[@shaunboydmadethis]

Very slick set-up! Seems like you have it dialed in, looking forward to seeing it in action.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks Shaun!

[@BeyondDuctTapeFixItRight]

Blake, you have a nice shop! It's easy to see why you'd be justifiably proud to show it off. I like the Incra guides you use and the router lift too. You've compelled me to check them out. I look forward to seeing the projects you build.

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@levrac68]

Well thought out and organized shop. Stir stick back splash is the best. I'm amazed at how clean it is for not having a dust collection system, other than the shop vac and Jet air filter. For me, the wood would have to be kept inside the shop. Acclimation time would be a problem if I didn't. I'm not keen on using my ladder to get the wood off the wall, but my 1 car workshop won't allow it anywhere else.

[@weberwoodshop]

levrac68 Thanks! Yeah if I had a place to put wood inside I wood.

[@2wheelspy]

I’d say this is the best workshop on the net for the space available and I’ve seen most of them!

[@weberwoodshop]

2wheelspy thanks!

[@radamespereira2596]

Great job! I think this is the best workshop garage that I saw . Thanks for your time.

[@SpareroomWoodworking]

Just discovered your channel. I am moving back to my small 1 car garage shop (upgrade from no shop!) in a few months and researching solutions to make it more effective. You did a great job - very nice shop!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thank you!

[@rickdavoice]

Awesome video! I'm brainstorming ideas for the garage workshop I want to set up at our new house. This video gave me a bunch of ideas!

Nice, Thank you!

[@jrehr90]

I'd have a hard time believing you're not a genius! Very inspiring!!

[@redtarget827]

I could watch this over and over. What a great little shop to create from.

[@weberwoodshop]

Cool, glad you liked it :)

[@gutz55787]

Loving the quick tension adjustment on the bandsaw, definitely going to have to make something similar!

[@weberwoodshop]

Thanks!

[@terencegillespie6675]

Pretty smooth. The best. I”m trying to build ones into a SMALL 2 car garage so that we can still park the cars indoors.

[@DrBill-dc2rq]

I am in the process of designing a shop in a 1.5 stall section of a garage in a new house we are building. Your shop is inspiring. Small space, but well designed and efficiently laid out. Well done. I may steal a few ideas from you.

[@weberwoodshop]

Dr. Crypto that’s awesome, yeah go for it!

[@thecobblers9453]

BEST 1 Car Garage set up I've seen by far!!!! thank you! I am in the process of setting up my 1 car shop and definitely plan to use several tips from this video!

[@walterterrell677]

That's one well thought out work space and it looks awesome. That is a shop to be proud of and a shop to take notes from. Thank you for sharing.
