Moved my workshop space from my garage into a backyard shed. Wish I had done this sooner!

    Seems I was misinformed about WD-40 being a good rust inhibitor and I went ahead and put some paste wax over the bandsaw table top. Hope you enjoyed the video 😊
  • @mrdmastersasuke
    Nice seeing someone who's doing stuff without having a fully kitted out massive workshop. Looking forward to the next vid

    Looks great! I highly recommend that every workshop has a fire extinguisher accessible nearby, it's a worthwhile investment for peace of mind.
  • @davidgiesfeldt6650
    Nice! Two thoughts: 1) use the wall cavity space to your advantage. All of the small items like the stain etc will fit on small shelves making it easier to see and access as well as freeing up the larger shelf space. 2) build a small ramp to get mobile pieces in and out of the shop space (and avoid a trip hazard). ENJOY!

    so cool. Such a wonderful space and, with the outdoor patio area, this seems like a dream solution. Secondly, I get a bit tired of seeing so many woodwork channels that have shops that are enormous with every tool known to man lol.

    Tip - see those notches in your awesome sawhorses? lay a 2x4 x8' in each, then place a piece of plywood across them. Then a piece of foil backed 4x8 1" foam insulation on it. Set your blade to just go thru your wood to be cut. You will always have complete support, better safety, and waist height work space. Keep the boards and foam (I hang mine from the ceiling) for future cuts. Lasts for many years.
  • My workshop is in a basement where it shares space with 60 years worth of family stuff that's stored there. It's a mixture of old tools, some cheap tools and some- a very few expensive tools.
  • As someone with a small size space like yourself it's quite inspiring to see how you've managed to make use in a small space. It makes a nice change to see, unlike many of these other youtubers who all seem to have these massive double garages, huge workshops and enough land to build a small housing estate on. Great quality video πŸ˜€
  • Re-building my shop right now, thank you for the inspiration. Nice working done! Greatings from Argentina

    Where I live, I keep my paints, primer cans, glue, etc in a tuff bin so I can bring it into the house during winter so they don't freeze. I'm a big fan of those stackable bins to keep moisture and saw dust off of the delicate items. Excellent band saw table idea, it can wheel out into an open area so you can cut longer items. The layout looks good!

    Very nice shop. We all start somewhere. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep Making. God bless.

    I'm long time retired now, and never had a nice big workshop, but watching you put your shop together brought back fond memories. Like others here have mentioned, French cleats work very well. Also, having heavy tools on wheels is always a plus for a small shop. And, don't be afraid to re-do how you store your tools. A good workshop is always in a state of re-arranging things to suit your needs. Good Luck.
  • You are the only person that has a smaller workshop than me! Well done, I got some tips on making my space more organized. Thank you
  • @DrewJacobson61
    It’s amazing how much work can be done in a relatively small area! Good job!
  • Consider painting the walls white as this will help reflect the light for you . Best of luck to you , i started off with a portable work bench and now have a 20x8 workspace and i love it. 😊😊
  • @SeaFanStudio
    Great use of space! I have a similar sized shop and will be making use of some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing!
  • @husk79
    awesome! it goes to show that even with a small place and good space management you can have an amazing area!!
  • @GrumpysWorkshop4
    Lovely little space. It's all about being creative when it comes to small workshop & everything on wheels helps.
  • @kevink3461
    Simple, affordable, and nothing over the top, yet very practical. What a perfect little set up for average hobbyist! Nice job & thanks for the video. God bless.
