As a one-legged woodworker who is very interested in attending your classes when you start them up, I really appreciate the fact that you thought ahead and made your shop floor accessible for the handicapped. Wow, that was a long sentence!

[@craftedworkshop]

That’s great, thanks Bill!

This is coming along great!! The floor and ramp look amazing!

[@mikeworks-woodworkingcarpe9377]

Just btw, the other awesome advantage of a wooden floor is if you need power in the middle of your room, it's extremely easy and unobtrusive to do so. Super exciting to see how this is coming about!

He should have added one or two cable channels for that purpose.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks Pedro!

[@genecreamers4480]

This is a perfect application for self leveling underlayment poured up to that ramp transition and throughout the rest of the shop.

[@craiguglandrealty3705]

Or before the overframing was done. Would've saved a Lot of head scratching

[@genecreamers4480]

@@craiguglandrealty3705 I agree, but it does make sense that that the wood is softer.

[@craftedworkshop]

It was about a 10 inch drop in the area with the floor drain, too much for self leveling cement from what I’ve read. Not a bad idea to do it in the rest of the shop though, although I’d have a lot of stuff to move out of the way!

[@chakireladraoui9331]

Good

[@genecreamers4480]

@@craftedworkshop yeah it would be a big job, you can do it in several lifts (layers) with aggregate. The good stuff can go 5-7” when extended. You can do it in stages while shifting contents as well. I’d love to see you make one of your high quality videos on how to properly use self leveling, I do it professionally and there’s so many garbage videos on here 😂😂

[@mikemcgown6362]

Thanks for showing us how you leveled out the uneven concrete floor with a more comfortable wood based floor. I suppose that's something I will be doing with our building. I didn't want a concrete floor without in-floor heat. This is a good solution to that problem. I'll let the concrete be where the cars will be parked, but the rest will get a raised floor for comfort. Thanks for the details.

[@joakimdahlstrom2532]

i ended up making tons of these wooden foots on my deck standing on stone plates, didn't know if it was gonna be enough, but seeing professionals now doing the same thing, I am kind of proud of myself :P

Shop is looking great. One thing though about t&g subfloor is to orientate it so you hit against the groove side to avoid Damaging the tongue.

[@SyPhoto]

I am absolutely in love with these videos, I plan to become a custom cabinetry carpenter when I grow up, and a little timber framing in my free time and seeing your shop unfold is really putting lots of things into perspective

[@tii2015]

Awesome! Love what you're doing! Can't wait for the next one!

Perkins brothers are machines good work ethic

[@craftedworkshop]

No kidding! They don’t quit

[@c.a.g.1977]

Having the Perkins Crew to come and help is awesome, you guys sure get a lot done in a short period of time! I wonder if leaving the spaces underneath the floorboards empty if that wouldn't make the whole floor act like a huge sound box, amplifying the noise?

[@Erik-pr2rf]

[@daddywoofdawg]

I need to do something like that to my busted up concrete floor

[@olgajoachimosmundsen4647]

I'm very intereted in the craftman(?) nailer vs the dewalt nailer. They look identical

[@jeffkowalski4936]

My opinion. I feel like there was a missed opportunity to install dust collection pipes under the floor for the table saw.

[@craftedworkshop]

My table saw won't be in that area, and 2x4 joists aren't deep enough for 4" ductwork unfortunately.

[@bigbug3438]

You'd probably want to have esay access to those pipes anyway

[@chakireladraoui9331]

Good

[@csimet]

Placing the barrier below the floor to help keep moisture out is a good idea. Not sure where you live, but you could have also placed some 1/2" to 1" faced foam board on top of it as well to help insulate it a bit. The stuff is relatively cheap.

[@craftedworkshop]

I thought about adding insulation but we live in a pretty temperate area (Asheville, NC) so I don't expect it to be much of an issue keeping the space climate controlled.

[@csimet]

@@craftedworkshop Way warmer than me (Western NY)! ;)

[@Dragonited]

Looks better and better. I would however put isolation between the joists. Not for heat isolation but since it will dampen the sound vibrations from the tools that you put ontop of the floor. The space under the floor will act as a resonance chamber amplifying the sound.

[@craftedworkshop]

That’s interesting! The platform will mostly be for workbenches so no big machines running on the platform.

[@elifeingold10]

This renovation series has quickly become my favorite on KZbin, keep up the hard work and the views will follow

Hi, is there a video of the little house finished, I seem to have missed it. Have a great week. Regards from Mexico.

[@craftedworkshop]

It’s not done yet, hah! I’ll be pivoting back to the tiny house after next week’s video on moving out of my old shop. Going to get the tiny house wrapped up and then will be back to working on the shop. Lots of projects!

[@tharapita1]

Floor sheets - with OSB the recommendation apparently is 2-3mm gap between boards to allow for expansion. Here the tongue and groove mated tightly from banging together. Not worried about seasonal humidity/temp expansion? Or does that type of board have some clever trick built into the mating surface?

[@davidabineri908]

What about wiring under the floor to power equipment placed away from the walls?

[@PedallingwithPaul]

the new shop is coming along great and looks amazing. I saw you at the opening of Berm Park but looked like you were with the family and no bikes so did not want to be rude

[@craftedworkshop]

Oh nice, you should have said hi! We had a great time, can't wait to go back and ride later this week.

[@PedallingwithPaul]

@@craftedworkshop next time I'm up from Florida. Your videos inspired me to reclose a screen porch in to make a bike room. It's not perfect but it's framed now (not just a few strips of 1x on the aluminum frame) and insulated still need a ceiling solution, new door frame, and a bit of finishing work

[@craftedworkshop]

@@PedallingwithPaul nice, sounds like a good project!

[@PedallingwithPaul]

@@craftedworkshop anytime you can make a room for your bikes and gear is a good time. Wanting to close in a front screen porch for a small bike shop at my house too

[@Rebasepoiss]

Should you be putting untreated timber straight on concrete if you don't have a moisture barrier underneath? I suspect some moisture might get from the concrete floor to the timber.

[@hallerrellah8123]

It’s already over man!

[@RedBairnMedia]

I dare say some of those rubber cable covers for floors split lengthways would be just about perfect for your transition.

[@YoungbloodFamilyFarm]

I wonder if some mortar or thick epoxy would be best to finish that ramp transition, any thoughts on finishing that area? I’m sure I would Tri point it. Great Series!

[@craftedworkshop]

Still trying to figure out my options. I've seen some nice heavy duty rubber transition strips but they're pretty pricey. I might just rip an angle on some strips of Advantech to feather out the transition.

[@mariushegli]

I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.

[@craftedworkshop]

Thanks a lot man, that means a lot! Definitely work hard to keep the production value high.

[@richardg4764]

I’m surprised you aren’t building out your shop

[@Blueridgedog]

Curious how that 2X4 floor support holds up to a dead load of a table saw or similar over the years.

[@zerocool2352]

He's definitely a woodworker and not a home builder. This shop is ... quickly shaping up to be a constant "work in progress"

[@Blueridgedog]

@@zerocool2352 I put a wood floor in a shop once. It took some real structural planning for the placement of the equipment (and putting outlets and dust management in place in the floor). Even with significant joists on 12" centers, I would get some "bounce" at odd times. I ended up putting concrete in certain joist gaps as a grout like solution. It worked.

[@craftedworkshop]

There are no large power tools going on the platform. This will be for workbenches and smaller stuff like my router table.

[@harryfisher8322]

YESSS THE VIDEO IVE BEEN WAITING FOR - audibly exclaimed when the noti popped up

[@Isamaria019]

What spacing did you 2x4 floor joists? 12? 16?

[@GingerWellyton]

When it comes to aligning the floor joists with the level line, why not use two triangular blocks underneath them, and carefully tap them together to the correct height and then screw them together?

[@craftedworkshop]

That definitely would have worked as well, just might have been a little more work cutting the triangular blocks!

[@Eric-469]

Has there been a tour of the not so tiny house? Didn’t see one listed, but maybe it was covered in an unrelated upload?

[@craftedworkshop]

Not quite done yet, will be moving back to it here in the next week or so!

[@g2macs]

Jeeze! If you sold that plywood from the old shop, you could make a tidy profit.

[@craftedworkshop]

Yea I’m going to be putting it back up on the walls here, so I’d have to buy the material anyway! Gonna save myself a ton of money!

[@marist89]

Curious, did you think about running power under the floor?

[@craftedworkshop]

I didn't, but that would be a good idea! Get some floor outlets in place near workbenches.

[@marist89]

@@craftedworkshop that's what I was thinking. prevents having to have 50 extension cords all over the place to reach to a wall. Kind of like a kitchen island.

[@ScottHaun]

[@craftedworkshop]

Hah, definitely fortunate to have all this space now!

[@mergrew0110]

I think that, if it were me, I would have added insulation under the floor to save on heat loss.

[@fcguy7]

Why not leave the drain accessible? Was it clogged up?

[@PaganWizard]

I really like the way the transformation is looking so far, however I am a bit confused as to why the floor drain was completely blocked off. Should water find it's way into your shop, it now has nowhere to go, except, under the platform to evaporate.

[@craftedworkshop]

The floor drain wasn't actually functional, it was clogged at some point in this building's 50 year history. I tried to run a snake in it to no avail. I could squeegee water out of the roll top door in the front if needed.

[@HarryLovesRuth]

Thank you for thinking ahead about disability access.

[@gavinsiwicki653]

What is the name of the outro song?

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

Radical stuff. I have to ask though, besides the ergonomic factor, why did you opt for a framed platform rather than doing a level concrete pour?

[@craftedworkshop]

It was too thick to do self leveling concrete unfortunately!

[@MurcuryEntertainment]

@@craftedworkshop Gotcha, that's too bad but makes sense. Let me know if you ever need a hand with any CAD work or troubleshooting any weird 'performance' issues with this building. I'm doing a master's in forensic engineering right now, and I'd love to lend a hand.

It's a Makita robovac, basically an industrial Roomba. amzn.to/38hYLsP Found a great deal on a used one so I snagged it.

[@garrettscott4094]

I could totally be wrong, but I thought a 1:12 ramp was for exterior. And interior ramps had a lower slope. But maybe that depends on the total length?

[@craftedworkshop]

I'm seeing 1:12 everywhere I've researched. The slope feels nice and shallow, especially considering how short the ramp is.

We added ZIP tape under the bottom plates, which should essentially do the same thing. Kyle from RR Buildings does something similar. I hate working with treated material, it's heavy, the sizing is inconsistent, and the chemicals can't be great for you.

From what I've read, it's a 1:12 pitch minimum, which works out to 1 inch per foot. 1/4" per foot would be extremely shallow.

He keeps calling that metal framing in the floor, a frame straightener. For like straightening wall frames as you put the together? Can someone point me in the right direction to find more info please, thanks

[@JNHEscapes]

I'm confident I would have simply poured self-leveling concrete over the entire area to level everything. I might would have made it flush to the steel for the frame machine and slope the concrete for the "ramp" or transition. I think the wood platform was a poor solution and will, ultimately, be a regret.

[@craftedworkshop]

It would have been about 8 inches of self leveling concrete. I consulted with a few concrete guys in the area and they strongly recommended against that option.
