The Ultimate Workshop Layout

[@NitroMaxOriginal]

I think you should do a series on visiting viewers shops and sorting them out. You can start with mine if you like 😂😂🤣🤣

[@dougsaunders8109]

Second

[@joaquinviego9052]

Third. I'm un the US, you can make it an international fix-it tour!!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Like kitchen nightmares 😂

[@Absfor30]

​@@RagnBoneBrown Fine... I'll take forth... But I am only down the road Keith... If you ever want to pop in for a cuppa, only 6miles up the road from King's Lynn. Nice 20ftx40ft workshop to sort out...😂

[@3sons587]

Yes mine needs sorting out Currently it’s a hard core base Just needs concrete some walls and a roof

[@ruaridhwatson2630]

“Fill it with loads of filler and forget it ever happened” is the most relatable thing I’ve heard in ages. 😂😂

[@Badgerworkshop]

Looks like you have lots more space. I love a good move around

[@RagnBoneBrown]

I noticed!! 😂

[@darrenhutchinson5435]

More space for 3d printers

[@glennbass35]

I quite literally have zero intention of building anything, nor do i have the space or tools to build anything that 'she who should be obeyed' might like me to construct and she thinks I am crazy spending my time watching your videos, but I thoroughly enjoy watching all of them, purely for my enjoyment. Keep up the good work.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers! Yes occasionally, this is the most recent one kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWnOgHZ9rcx6l6s

[@JohnMcGrathManInShed]

Nice one, that's a big improvement. It's always a big deal rearranging the workshop, but once you get past the point of making everything worse and wishing you never started, it starts to come good.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Very true!

[@jwrobinson2626]

Love the new layout. Reorganization is always satisfying. Keep up the great content Kieth.

[@pbarnfield]

Nothing is ever simple! I did a shed remodel earlier this year, and in such a small space, 4m x 1.75m = chaos!! Had to find a nice day to use the garden for overspill! Worth doing though at the end of it. Filler and caulk are my saviours too - I try and forget things ever happened too!! 🤣 Looks like a good result at the end. Just wish I had that kind of space to play with, then my table saw could be always ready and I could buy a better bandsaw and also a thicknesser. But for now I shall make do! 😋

Damn Keith, well done! I remember seeing you work in your old workshop / shed. You’ve come a long way, on many levels. Happy for you! 🎉

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@dan.w.hoover2556]

So well organized! And the picture of Dylan!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks Dan

[@SteveMonk1956]

Yes, you've got to love a good workshop rearrangement.

[@weltzy100]

This is so good. I would never want to leave that workshop.

[@therandombrandan942]

Looks very good, Keith. Can’t wait to see how the new workshop layout works

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you

[@WoodworkJourney]

Fantastic! Really solid choices and great to see you have some more space!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers buddy! You were right about the router table 👍

[@WoodworkJourney]

@ I am a very wise old man 😂😂😂

[@johnsmith-fz3qk]

Love a good workshop reshuffle and straight away there's a side quest! 😂👌 Always the way with these things. Fab as always.

[@christycullen2585]

Great video Keith you are very hard working, The workshop is fab.

[@raff0785]

Well done . That layout of workshop looks more efficient. I hope you gonna enjoy making the projects .

[@steppy66]

Just goes to show if you how a little….. no! rather a lot of effort and some planning can make so much difference to the workshop….. absolutely brilliant!!! Love your videos!!!

[@mrs.noodles]

Great use of your space, Keith. Efficient and well-appointed. And, it's Dylan approved!

[@andyc972]

Thanks Keith, interesting to see, and well explained reasons for all your decision making, it looks like it should really enhance your workflow ! I guess it was inevitable given the number of upgrades you've made in machinery over the last couple of years, a big job, but well worth the effort. You've got an amazingly well equipped workshop now so hopefully it will remain stable for a while and you can concentrate on the making that this excellent set up allows !

[@hjworkshop1]

Looks so much roomier, sometimes you just got to start and it all comes together in the end. 😊

[@jimrosson6702]

Wow new lay out looks great hopefully it works out great for you.

[@markoutler5139]

Inspired me to get busy cleaning/decluttering and reorganizing my shop! Thanks!

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

Hi Keith, The main thing is you got what you need close to hand and all down to convenience and creating space as well, good job. I need to re jig my workshop that will be a job next spring. Great video Take car

[@26conno]

Ohhhh, i love a good organisation video! Its good to see how other people do things! 😊

[@stco2426]

Excellent. Flexability and progress are key, plus clutter-free horizontal surfaces.

[@paddy8391]

looks great Keith, like your dust abstraction set up

[@mags8014]

Excellent! Tidying and realigning things is such a tiring and time consuming process, but well worth it and your workshop looks super efficient now!

[@colinmottram4429]

Looks great, Keith! I’ve got dust extraction ducting similar to you, and was frustrated with the amount of fine dust that stuck to the outside of it. I thought that static electricity was playing its part so ran a line of sticky foil tape along the run and grounded it on the Axminster cyclone- no more static and dust buildup greatly reduced. Thought you might find it interesting or indeed useful! Keep up the great work!

[@christianjanes]

Great transition.

[@IEnjoyCreatingVideos]

Great work on the shop layout Keith! Thanks for sharing the video with us!💖👍😎JP

[@farminfabrication2208]

Cool, I am building a similar sized workshop and was imagining having the table saw and combined out feed/ assembly/workbench in the middle but I like your idea of wheeling the bench away to free up some floor space. Nice one!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Very cool!

[@joeleonetti8976]

looks good. Just got a lathe and floor standing drill press recently. Having a similar challenging figuring where to fit them. Requiring a fair bit of reorganization. Good problem I suppose.

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. Thank you Keith

[@tayet6875]

At least on film it looks like your workshop doubled in size. Must be well satisfying to have the new layout!

[@PabloBD]

Good luck with the re-saw-lution!

[@dougsaunders8109]

I definitely need a declutter, look at all your space!

[@bosse641]

Looks very nice. Good job.

[@markraisner9000]

Looks good, enjoy your "new" space.

[@jeffreycorley669]

Looks great, can wait to see the projects that come out of there, love the organization to.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks 👍

[@simonlunt353]

Looking good Keith it’s a job l always think about but get put off by the time it takes you my workshop size is a single garage width but double the length we’re yours is side by side which I would Prefer 😊 great video always like watching you with your projects please keep them coming and merry Christmas 🎄

[@markfrancis4756]

Oh man, you have just made me think that I could do with a move around. Thank you.

[@MCsCreations]

To be honest, I don't know if I liked the position of the table saw, Keith... But the rest is definitely much better! Great work! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@joehart3826]

Same here, it just seems congested but it may be the best there is

[@paultay23]

Nice one Keith, looks a lot betterer

[@CavemanCarnivoreClub]

Nice...so much better and well thought out....bravo !!

[@michaelwillson6847]

Brilliant job Keith looks like your proper dialed in now although you'll never keep that bare wall bare for long 😂 although dam you though now youve made me feel like i need to up end and move my shop around. If you fancy a Scottish trip i wouldn't say no to the help or even a quick video call get your thoughts. 🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🤞

[@gregmize01]

Awesome transformation!!!!

[@Paul_Allaker8450]

I can only dream of having a workshop as good as yours. Ace job, Keith. 🫡👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Jako-fh8zg]

That looks a lot better to be fair, and looks like a massive task. The dust extraction boggles my mind, it’s a work of genius 👍👍 it does sort of remind me of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory😂 🙏respect Jako🙏

[@stephenhall9592]

Great job

[@juneritchie2498]

Great looking space! It couldn't have come at a better time as I am going through a reorg, also. I thought that I would love the way it is laid out now, but that hasn't proved to be the case. Great ideas to consider.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thank you and good luck with getting yours sorted

[@JohnMellor-nd8bs]

I see Dylan has pride of place

[@elchimpo9590]

Great job, You’re the Marie Kondo (remember her) of shop organization 😂😂

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Big improvement

[@marclours]

Neat ! now I must apply this to mine... oh boy !

[@MissLady-pq4hc]

Thank you , Enjoyed video very much. 👍🏼❤️

[@Lego70001]

A shop in progress is a well used shop. my 12'x16' has many limitations and is difficult to make its work flow smooth, but it does what I need it to do, just not as efficient as I'd like. Another iteration will happen(hopefully) next year. An 8x16' extension off the back. Yours looks good now, worth the time.

[@raymondmackay225]

Looking great.

[@rockmaninov]

And it looks like your spray booth sheets are still in a good place!

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yep, still works! 👍

[@rodpotts2666]

I like it! well worth the work.

[@201081hero]

Looking good Keith, it must be nearly 10 years since I've moved my machines around so your video has motivated me to finally review my situation. Is the air cleaner going to stay where it is or moved to where dust will be more prevalent?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Cheers! The air filter isn't working at the moment, I need to fix it ... Will probably move it once sorted 👍

[@Clive-z3u]

❤ excellent 🎉

[@mrfaffley4479]

Thank you for another great video; entertaining and inspirational. It looks like an efficient layout. The dust extraction corner and ducting runs are very compact and neat. Rotating the table saw and router table looks like a good decision considering the table saw is on casters. The door for maintenance and cleaning can be accessed by moving it away from the wall as you did for a long cross cut. It might not make for interesting viewing but I would like to know a bit more about your thought process and decision making when planning this move please. Did you just plan to accommodate the major issues and accept having to solve minor issues as you work through the move?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Yep that's pretty much it... Main concerns were infeed outfeed and locating everything as close to extractors as possible. Moved things around on my paper plan and came up with the new layout 👍

[@Gazman299]

You have a great setup. I thought I remember you having a baby bandsaw. If I'm correct what happened to that? They're very handy.

[@bigpete4227]

That was enjoyable.

[@twist555]

11:17 that sawing stance ! 👀😂

[@mikeh4924]

Oh my gosh, I'm not through the whole video yet, but I'm at the 4:45 mark where you turn the power back on. I'm thinking "What kind of power tester is that monster in his hands?? Wow, he went all out!" and then I realize it's just your sander plugged into the outlet. lol.

[@paulbanks8583]

Looks good Keith 👍 there must be something in the air 🤣 I'm going through selling off a load of tools in readiness of doing a similar reset of my workshop. I spent last Saturday pulling stuff out cleaning it and taking photos to put it up for sale. I lost the will to do anymore for a bit but I know it's coming 😢. As for your new layout I think it will work really well. I 🤔 we all let the table saw rule the layout and how often are you really likely going to need to cross cut over 1.8m? Keep the videos coming always enjoy watching 👍

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks! I think it's a winter thing, I always seem to want to rearrange things then 😂

[@discomoot9075]

Ohhhh nice. 😎

[@norfolknchance.500]

Hiya Mr Brown, i only found you recently but immediately subscribed as i like what you do! I was wondering (roughly) what part of Norfolk you are in as i have lot of sorting to do in the coming few months in my partners barn which contains more stuff than you can shake a stick at, including lots of wood, some of which is past its best but also some i have salvaged some hard woods included, i was a wood machinest when leaving school and then shopfitter etc, i have always had an affinity for wood, plus im a hoarder and at nearly 60 yrs old need to thin out somewhat!? Haha! There is also a really old school belt driven table type saw that takes 24in blades that i thought you might like to see, its working i believe although lots crap around it at mo! The barns were inherited by my partner whos father was a farmer and died about 3 yrs ago at age of 94, so he really was old school! I know the wood is of a lot of value these days and often hard to obtain, im not looking for payment would just rather it be used than burning to dispose of! There may also be some old school woodworking hand tools that belonged to her father from another barn, but thats me speculating at the moment, would need to run that past her!?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Thanks, sounds great! If you could drop me an email that would be great : [e-mail]

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I’ve been saying for a year and a half that I’m going to change my workshop layout. I believe I am ready to get started. One reason I haven’t done it is because I hurt my back in June last year when I was getting started. Then it was just one thing after another. But another really big reason is…. I just don’t know what I want to do. There are things I like about my layout. There are things I hate. But the biggest issue is that it’s just not efficient. And stuff is everywhere. Going to do a big clean up today to get started.

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

You rearrange your shop a lot! Didn't you just set it up like it was? Or have I just been watching your channel that long?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Once in 5 and a half years, I would not call that a lot

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

@@RagnBoneBrown I thought you had reorganized it two or three times now.

[@CaptainofmyShed]

Keith. I’m sure you’ve mentioned in a previous video but how big is your workshop?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

It's about 6m x 5.5m if you exclude the bit out the front where the wood storage rack and electric roller door is 👍

[@CaptainofmyShed]

Thanks. I’m designing my next workshop at 5.5 x 5.5 to keep it under PD rules. I liked your method of assessing indeed and outfeed.

Is it a planer thicknesser or a planer jointer?

Really good video. It has made me want to redo my workshop👍. Can you add Danish subtitles to your videos? Unfortunately, I'm not very good at English. But best regards, Lars from Denmark. Ps Google Translate.

[@JohnColgan.]

Why only 1 cable to your relocated plug? Unless regs have changed, in a ring main, all sockets are daisy chained, cable in, cable out and return to fuse box. Only 1 spur per circuit but looks like you have several drop spurs to wall sockets.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

The old sockets are all on single cables, the new sockets that I had installed are on a ring 👍

[@mrinkswitch]

"I'm just going to screw all the bits back into the stud and shove loads of filler into it and forget it ever happened." Lol, same.

[@paulzirker706]

Great video Keith. Should be a more productive space.

[@jasoncole5633]

Why didn’t you run 1 duct into the loft space, hide all pipework and drop down where required?

[@RagnBoneBrown]

Because longer ducting means less efficient extraction

[@jasoncole5633]

@ could have got the same run if not very similar in length and hidden all ceiling duct

[@Motocicleiros]

I didn't get what's the problem of putting together two (or more) machines that are power starving unless you're going to use them simultaneously. Being a one-man shop, I really doubt that it will happen.

[@RagnBoneBrown]

There is no problem?

[@Motocicleiros]

@@RagnBoneBrown When using a power socket you must focus on how much energy is passing through it and not how many devices are plugged to it. Plugging a device to it won't consume any current if the device is powered off (nothing will be passing through the socket). For instances, suppose that you plug a HUNDRED 15A machines to a single 16A power socket. You could think "oh my it will be 1500A of consume and it will melt the socket down!" but in fact it's not true. If you power on just ONE machine at a time it will be only 15A of consume because all the other 99 machines will be off and won't consume anything. Got the point?
