That tool island arrangement is pure genius. Super efficient use of space and dust collection.

[@mr.p9882]

Mine is only a 12'x16' so it's small, but usable. It is a shed, custom built for longevity, and has a ramp so I can locate the table saw outside when weather permits. That leaves a TON of space to move around in. I am thinking of getting the same saw Wayne has in the next few weeks, I currently have a DeWalt Jobsite folding saw but it is a GREAT saw!!! I just truly love the space in front of the blade that a full size saw has on the table. I removed my saw from the folding cart and mounted it on a shop built table on wheels to enable an outfeed table, plus dust collection underneath the opposite end with a shop vac and dust devil collector. I have the same drill press and love it, mainly because of the spindle travel, and since I do make pens I can drill through 4" without flipping the wood or acrylic over. Very nice setup, and it does make me envious!!! Cleanest shop I ever saw also, except maybe April Wilkerson's shop which NEVER looks used!!!

[@Remydelco]

I can really appreciate the attention to detail paid when making those drawer fronts left of the mitre saw. All the grain matches up. 👍👍

[@JP-td6bo]

I watched this video when it was first posted, and I find myself still coming back to it for workshop ideas 5 years later.

[@Ideasite]

Beautiful shop! STRONGLY recommend the Oneida Air Cyclone. I have the same dust collector. I took it apart & was able to mount the blower inlet directly to the top of the Oneida cyclone, and mount both of those at ceiling height. The dust falls down through a 5" aluminum dryer vent into a 50 gal drum on the rolling cart that the Shop Fox collector came with. The inlet side of the cyclone connects to a 5" spiral duct that travels across the ceiling, through the center of my shop. A few Y connectors in the 5" line provide 4" takeoffs with blast gates where I need them. The Oneida removes virtually everything from the dust collector & drops it into the drum, and the gags remain clean. I do have to beat the dust out of the felt bag periodically, but I am absolutely amazed at just how efficient the cyclone turned out to be. No more stumbling & fumbling with tubes & switches at floor level! Shop Fox should really offer that collector in a configuration that works with Oneida's cyclone. They're fantastic. It's really changed how my shop works.

The company I have been working for almost 3 years now, needed much work on their shop. It's been a constant work in progress the past year since we are so busy... I have based the shop floor plan off of this gentleman's idea of a centered island of machines. Works wonderful.

[@stephanie09.11]

I can watch this over and over. He has my type of OCD shop. Same table saw and the same drawer handles. Fun to see other peoples shops and how much of the same brand tools we all use.

[@jameshughes2548]

You are right, California Air Compressors are so nice and quite. I purchased one for my demo trailer at work. When I personally have the need to get a larger one I plan on purchasing one. They are priced very nice.

[@WhangaFish]

I've had this on my "watch later" for about a year and only now finally watched it... am I glad I did! Such a good set up, I'm certainly going to be changing my shop up this weekend! Thanks for the tour guys!

[@tristanluc7008]

Could you make a 2023 version of Wayne's shop. I love his shop so much.

[@cjorg16]

What an excellent layout. Great job Wayne, overlapping the in-feed & out-feed 'dead space' in front of and behind of each tool in your Island. I have seen a lot of shops, and this is one of the most efficient designs I have seen. It has inspired me to rethink my layout. Thank You for sharing.

[@cameronmcarthur9951]

Great miter work station, so many drawers above and back space below the working level. Got to build myself this design. Thank you so much for sharing, inspirational!

[@Shopbuilt]

Really nice set up, makes me realize how much work my shop needs:)

[@larandman1]

Shop built saw stop

[@delapopo1]

HAHAHAH UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR FOR ALL OF US!!!

[@derekw9405]

Im new to woodworking but have been really inspired by this set up. I like how the island in the middle combines all the major tools. I plan on using a similar concept in my own garage. Thank you for making this video!

[@DaveScruggs]

Wayne, go get a furnace blower, mount it to a harbor freight furniture dolly, (item#61899) add a light switch to turn it on and off. I've got one, and I use it daily in my shop. I live in Florida and it not only circulates the air, it makes a 98' day feel nice. Give it a try, you just might like it.

[@johndesormier8099]

Great shop tour. My shop is odd shaped and has lolly columns, which made my layout difficult. The way Wayne clustered his tools makes sense for me and I emulated that in my shop. Thanks!

[@drmkiwi]

Good shop and I especially liked the way Wayne had ensured all the grain worked / lined up across the drawers on the mitre station.

[@craigpereira6381]

very nice, i like the idea of vertical storage idea. I have a single garage shop and i think I'm going to change my current movable lumber storage to that vertical storage idea. Thanks for the video Jay.

[@jaykepley5238]

Wayne, your shop is beautiful! I'm getting ready to set up my own garage shop. I'm going to copy you, Wayne (as best I can given my skill level)! Thanks for sharing.

[@bluejfarm9098]

i wasn't 10 seconds in and liked Wayne already! Nice shop Wayne!

[@MarkK01]

I love this set up. You would never guess that it is only a 20 x 22 space. Awesome look and impressive set up.

[@ludwigbarnes3058]

I have the same table saw and Incra LS. Love it. Will keep it for my next saw. Thanks so much guys for the tour. Makes me want to get more organized.

[@robbieallen7433]

Jay Bates you do love that word EFFICIENT.😂😂😂

[@ChadMc74]

So much room for activities!!!

[@timguba8887]

Thanks for this video, Jay. I am so impressed by Wayne's shop that I am using it as a model to outfit and arrange my own workshop. I love the outfeed table, the tool placement is efficient, and the whole layout just promotes an accessible workflow. Very cool. I watched this video back in June and I keep going back to it just to keep my enthusiasm high.

[@richardjones5936]

I'm building a new shop and this gives me some great ideas, I love the miter saw station and your tool grouping. Great Job!!!

[@neilyeag]

Wayne, what a clean organized work space. Thanks both of you for sharing.

[@DavidStanton]

Looks great Wayne! Very well organised space.

[@SyberPrepper]

I wonder if my shop will ever be that clean. Great shop Wayne. Thanks for sharing.

[@dougbroadhurst8189]

In the process of relocating, your shop and Wayne's are inspirational and very informative to resetting my shop up to operated as efficiently and clutter less. ( which I am sure will change as I have a hard time letting go of even the smallest scrapes). Thanks Wayne and Jay

[@josephhopf7874]

I absolutely love your shop.. you have done a phenomenal job with Space efficiency and getting the maximum potential out of your Machine/tools I'm definitely going to take this design into consideration when building my own shop... Thank you ...

[@bereantrb]

Nice post. That island cluster is a great concept.

[@AlWheelin]

I have he same Ridgid table saw still stock. Thanks for showing me that it can be upgraded for precision and rotor adaptability. Awesome.

[@brentmoreland2433]

thanks for giving him a new nickname. great shop. it's come a long way since I was there last. thanks jay for the videos

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

Brent is my Son in Law and lives in Nashville. See you soon

[@TheCoachStokes]

Thanks for this vid. I copied everything about it and have my island setup in the middle of the shop now. It allows for much more free space; no doubt about it. The bandsaw in that dead space location is very smart; the planer finishing on the outfeed table is awesome; the DC in the middle is a no brainer now. Thanks for sharing this and for helping me improve my setup.

[@wayphun72]

What a great shop, I didn't want it to end, it's perfect!

[@TheRocketbob22]

Thanks Jay, for bringing us along to Fancy Pants Garage Shop.That place is cleaner than a restaurant. The simplicity borders on indigenous. Wayne is as happy as a dog in a bun, great job guys. Now to get off of u tub and start mopping.

[@JayBates2]

He cleaned the shop right before I came because he knew we were going to record.

[@Wwgeek]

Jay, thank you so much for posting this. I have a CLEAN SLATE to build out my new garage at new home. This just gave me some really solid ideas. Thanks!

[@tim-hypnotherapist]

This popped up on my feed again...enjoy it every time.

[@glk35dvc]

Nice layout. You have given me some ideas on how to arrange my shop. My shop is pole building construction and one of the troubles I have been having is that dead center in my shop is a pole. I think I can do a take on your island idea and have the pole in the center of the island, about where your dust collector is. Thanks for the video. I keep cheez-its by my work bench also.

[@007KrausBean]

Beautiful shop. I'd love to completely take over my garage since my truck won't fit in there, but the wife parks in there and with our rough winters up north a garage is great to have.

[@MacTech007]

Great shop tour! Love your shop layout Wayne, and all your fancy pants tools. Thanks Jay for sharing Wayne's shop with us. Cheers from Ontario Canada. Larry B

[@billynolfe3621]

I bought the California Air after seeing it on your shop tour. It is awesome

[@KSFWG]

Great setup, Wayne! Thanks for sharing it with us, Jay!

[@Intelligent_investor]

This shop is really really well built!!

[@Reid0225]

Fellow Mississippi wood worker! Love the channel keep it up man! Love your work!

[@igreene2514]

I have a ton of 1/2" plywood sheets left over from Hurricane Matthew... oooh, i see a new project in my future! Thanks, Wayne ;)

[@chevyvega6622]

exceptional layout of your shop!! I have always wondered why so many build complicated holders, drawers and such for shop storage, and can never understand why. Simple is always easy and solid, which you have nailed!!! great n clean shop, mine is always puffed with canarywood

[@kan-zee]

Wow...Wayne's shop is Immaculate..

[@johnwicks3546]

By far my favorite shop tour I've seen to date. Excellent use of space and I will plan to emulate when I set up my new shop. Love the "island" with the centralized dust collection for the 4 major tools. What a brilliant idea and saves from having to duct everywhere around the shop. Seems obvious to me now but of course the miter saw can just use it's own dust collection, not to mention the drill press. Can you guys detail what all went in to making the table around the Ridgid table saw?

[@johnwicks3546]

Meant to say what parts are being used around the table saw, i.e. - the Incra fence system, etc.

[@Justsquareenough]

great shop Wayne, thanks for letting us in.

[@mmjdodd]

I keep coming back to this shop, looks so good!

[@caroljohnson8817]

Yes! I love all of your organization. Working on getting there. I’m going to use that miter saw arrangement you have there.

[@JeremyMcMahan]

I didn't watch this video... I studied it. Some great space-maximizing ideas here. Thanks Jay!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Really nice shop! Love the setup. You are not kidding about it being toasty in the garage in Mississippi in summertime!

[@waynegnagey4126]

Great video. It helped me generate some ideas for my very crowded 2.5 car garage.

[@nathancd]

I lol’d at the “fridge for water” part. Thanks!

[@davidwoolston3718]

Jay, it is great to see a shop like this.... but, if you know someone that has a garage like that, but has to consolidate at the end of a day so his/her spouse can park in the garage, it would be great to see how others are doing it.

[@kelgs13]

Great setup. My woodshop is about the same size and after watching this it’s time for some changes.

[@Jer_Schmidt]

Great tour!

[@tiffanyjohnson3110]

God I wish I had a garage. I work out of my basement so I'm very envious. And so clean just like yours. Great job. On to the next video.😀

[@davidvincent3926]

Hi Wayne, I just saw your interview done on Jay Bates video. Very nicely done. You should be making your own videos! You are a very well spoken woodworker!

[@jamesseagraves5630]

Very nice shop Wayne. Great video as always Jay

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

THat's a great shop. Thanks for taking us on a tour. Now... I just need to find a neighbor like you to come over and help me make my shop more efficient. I know mine totally needs work. However.... it is ever-changing. I have some plans for my little shop. Mine probably isn't half that size. But seeing this does make me rethink how I could set things up. Thanks!

[@QuarterinchoffDIY]

That is why I made a second shop in my basement. Lathe and scroll saw down there and big stuff in garage.

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I can see having the lathe and scroll saw somewhere else. Wish I had the space. Some day though....

[@SuperKwame1]

Great shop, with well organized thought in mind. Thanks for sharing.

[@jedi_mario]

Loved this video. Great setup.

[@alvinapmech]

I love the work flow & efficient use of spaces good job....

[@Tugmun11]

Thanks to Wane for letin us see his shop and thank you Jay for the Vid and narration good stuff.

[@curoimacdaire3630]

What a clean shop. Makes mine look like an absolute mess. Great tour.

[@bigdogmn73]

Very nice ! Great ideas Only issue I see is the reading the incra while your setting it on the table saw. I have the same fence and you sometimes need to lean over it to read it. Otherwise I love it. Funny how with a few items moved around space just opens up. Thanks for the tour!

[@monte.4444]

After watching this as well as your shop video's, I changed my setup to the "island", or "pod" in the middle of my shop. I have a 2 car garage shop as well. Thanks for the great uploads.

[@MattLaneWoodshop]

man, I need a bigger shop!!

[@westfaliaboy]

Awesome shop set-up gentlemen. Wayne, I have almost all of the same tools you have! I love the island setup. I am just in the process of doing my shop (20 x 30) and I was worried about where I was going to put all my individual stations - problem solved! I notice the incra fence that you have - I have the same saw and am not happy with it - I'll check out that and see whether it will solve the issues that I have. Again, thanks to both of you guys......

[@TheWoodWerker]

GREAT Video JB! Thanks for Posting! Got a LOT of great ideas! Looking forward to checking out All of Wayne's stuff! Have A Super Week!..... Gus

[@chrisbelmore1240]

thanks guys i have a very similar space to work with and most others have smaller shops with very different designs thanks for going through what you did to make it better than before or narrators shop that seems to much like this but but apparently this shop is lil better organized i have spent hours on KZbin looking for a good layout . some would say that time should be spent in shop but im not ready just yet and hope the time researching will pay off with lil adjustments instead of full out rearranging .

[@StoneandSonsWorkshop]

Very nice setup, Wayne! Thanks for sharing, Jay.

[@johnchristian6306]

just moved to my retiement home and have a barn. the tool island is a neat idea.

[@ALLWORKNOPLAYnetwork]

like the tool holder. Very nice and simple

[@sperrtechnik]

a man of few words, of course not J. Bates but Mr. Wayne... just great and a great shop too

[@12345mike6789]

Sweet set up Wayne, very nice! Im a sucker for shop tours. Good commentary jb

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Beautiful shop - well done Wayne. Jay really loves it and I don't blame him! An ideal layout for future changes. Thanks for the tour! PS - I didn't see no old, fat guy!! lol

[@ishortland]

Very neat and well organised but having space too is critical in a work space. Lots of very nice Festool as well as the table saw/router table/bandsaw etc. with the dust collection system. Good stuff!

[@valmirdesouzasilva1956]

Nice shop! Well organized and clean!

[@Robert8455]

Very nice & well organized shop!

[@bill-chichi9701]

Killer shop video. Great ideas always come out of your videos.

[@EternalImageTatt]

I just got the callifornia air compressor too that I saw on Dema's channel, love it. Fine shop you have there sir! Very nice.

[@AntonioMFerreira]

Great workspace!!! Clean and look very functional

[@altheamcnabb2829]

Thank you for the shop set up and space saver idea. Needed this.

[@benjaminlane9228]

This video earns it's astounding thumbs up/down ratio. There is a lot to learn here for even the most advanced woodworker, in particular how the space is maximized and the storage methods are ridiculously simple. I am sure most woodworkers (I am no exception) who have ventured into shop storage have fallen down the slippery slope of overcomplicating everything. Sure, the end product probably LOOKS pretty, but is it as effective as it could be? Simple is better, because if it's too complex you won't use it, and if you don't use it.... well.... it's only purpose is lost. Great job. Great video.

[@jrestes1994]

Very nice shop Wayne! Thanks for the visit today at my house in Clinton.

[@diggler306]

Now THAT is an awesome shop! Wow

[@prosser199]

loved this video i have a sense of direction for my shop layout now with some changes but still verry useful love your work jay and it a pity Wayne dosnt do videos i would watch his vids for sure

[@rjdshmetal]

I love the idea of the large dowel for the clamps.

[@brianhume1555]

Great shop Wayne!

[@kringles65]

Neat and well maintained. Way to be....I'm the same way! I have the same bar stool. lol

[@Benevolentbasses]

Nice clean shop I learn how to organized with this video Thank you

[@icawn]

Very nice. My goal is a workspace capable of withstanding a leaf blower all around. I hate sweeping and vacuuming.

[@VampireOnline]

Nice shop tour! It's great hearing the reasoning for how people have their shop laid out. Your shop seems bigger than his though.

[@kenergy]

Great video, gave me a ton of ideas for the workspace I am building out!

[@rogerk9050]

Thnx for the tour. I also like the dc in the middle of the island of equipment
