Carpenters, I hate that they can just see an idea in their head and make it come true. Really nice job mate, looks amazing.
Your progression from day 1 reseller to now has been great to watch. Looking forward to 2024!
Thanks man! Means a lot!
Quality idea mate!! So nice to have everything you need at arms reach without having to dive through loads of boxes to find stuff
Yea, hopefully this will speed up the process!
Great job mate, one thing that i spotted is that youve got no ventilation in each of those slots. Some of those machines will get mega hot and mite ruin the machine with over heating and such. Just a thought as i had trouble with my PS3 breaking with the same issue. But still great job mate, looks epic.
Yea I did think that myself, especially with the original xbox as its so tight. But when testing I won't be using them for very long so should be okay.
Brilliant video, really really inspiring. Looking forward to your vids this year. Awesome stuff 😁
Thanks!
Hats off to you Tom, Love this work station.
Many thanks!
This is class! Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
Wow, just wow 👏👏👏👏👏 awesome work matey and looks a great workspace. Looking forward to following along and seeing the finished product 😎😎✌️✌️
Thanks 👍
Unbelievable that mate. It’s great seeing how well you’re doing and how far you’ve gone! Maybe get some LED lights in each box or around the back edge of the kallax? Great work 👍🏻
Thanks! Yes I definitely want to put some lights in. That would be awesome!
Unreal set up, great work! Been subbed on a different account for a while, you're one of the UA-camrs that encouraged me to start making videos! 😊
Glad to hear it!
Looks brilliant
Absolutely amazing, amazing! What a fabulous work space, it looks the business! Well done 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
Looks quality and very practical! Quality mate!!
Thanks!
Wow Tom That Looks Amazing...Well Done
Thanks 👍
Looks nice Tom.
You're going to end up with a lot of cables heading up to those tvs though, have a look at getting a couple of multi connection scart and hdmi blocks, the sort that let you plug 2 or 3 cables into 1 on the tv. You can get them with a remote control to switch between sources too
Good idea, cheers!
that is amazing pal looks so clean good luck in the new year
Thanks, you too!
Might the best video I've seen from you, that's fantastic work done. Nice to see the carpentry coming in useful!
Thank you! Much Appreciated!
Epic! Looks great 😃👍
Thanks Rachel! (mate)
Very nicely done! Proper neat setup
Thanks!
That’s looks amazing mate, love it! I’ve been building my own collection too, get yourself a Panasonic 3DO in that spare slot!
Looks great mate .
Cheers mate! I'm very pleased with how it turned out!
Great job mate looks amazing I wasn’t feeling very motivated for selling at the min but this has definitely helped hope you had a good Christmas
Glad it helped! Merry Christmas mate!
Love having a plan like that.such a tidy work area.great stuff 👍🏼
Thanks 👍
Amazing work pal congrats that’s going to be epic when it’s all done looking forward to future vids
Cheers mate. I can't wait to start using it!
That fast scene was like watching Quicksilver mate 🤣 in my head all I heard was (Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This).
What amazing job mate and video love watching your videos and I've been doing the same putting things in bags, toploaders, storage boxes and keeping space empty cases and equipment.
Crackin job
My favourite episode so far.
Thanks! Me too. I kinda regret uploading on Christmas day though! Low views
Tom that looks incredible!! Great job 👏🏼 it was so satisfying watching you tear the bubble wrap 😂
Thank you!
Amazing work Tom. That's a great setup although it might get tempting having all those game consoles so accessible. 😀 The sound is super too.
Hope you're having a happy Christmas.
Yea I know aha, it does double up as a gaming room too! I'm glad to hear the audio is better too!
Looks brilliant mate some real quality workmanship there! Just gotta get the rest of those consoles now 😅
Cheers mate!
looks awesome that mate
Cheers mate!
Great video in every way
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!
Looks great, nice to be organised
Thanks! Yea I like to be organised!
Awesome video Tom, looks really great! Could have watched that for hours. - Life is so much easier with them carpentry skills heh 😉
Thanks 👍
Looks good
I’ve got the same Panasonic tv for my vintage consoles 👌🏼👌🏼
Set up looks grand!
Yrw them Panasonics are pretty decent for retro stuff.
I had to double check myself because I'm sure you said you was a carpenter? Then I see dewalt tools 😅 makita all the way baby 😂 top craftsmanship mate 👍
Makita used to be be better but Dewalt are much better these days
great setup, to save on shelf space, consider getting a retron console or a PS3 that plays ps1 and ps2.. or ps2's play ps1's
Legend bud, you seem very similar to me tbh, ok it's taken a lot of work but that's gonna save you years of hassle and save you so much time. Very impressed with that. 👍
Cheers mate! I tend to go a bit over the top but I can't help it aha 😅
@@TOMS_TAT That's called preparing not to fail. 👍 Attention to detail, lots don't put that extra effort in and wonder why it didn't work out.
@@jasongurney5349 Yea 100% mate. I'm a perfectionist which can be a good thing but also a bad thing at the same time. Mainly because it takes me ages to do stuff. But I wouldn't have it any other way tbh.
@@TOMS_TAT Agreed bud, I used to see it as a weakness but as I've got older I've realised I'd prefer to be this way than not giving a toss. Hopefully after we've moved next year I'll be doing similar to your yourself. Desperate to go full-time but trying to be sensible at the same time. 👍
Are you sure you want to carry on with reselling? If I had them carpentry skills I'd be thinking twice, but well done and it looks fab!!
Yes I'm sure. I've done carpentry for the past 7 years. Yes it pays well, but I got sick of doing it. I'm currently earning less money doing reselling than I was making during carpentry but I enjoy doing this! Money isn't everything. I can still pay my bills but now I'm not completely depressed.
Hi glad I found this page I’m thinking of getting in to the eBay selling and the car boots any advice is appreciated
All the best of luck with it mate!
You're never going to do two at the same time lmao
Why not? I was doing that before I built this.
Hey Tom, love the vids and subbed 👍 I know you're a busy man but I'd really appreciate your feedback on those two Panasonic TVs you set up in this video... How do they perform on the old retro consoles, PS2, N64 etc, is the picture quality good and worth purchasing? Any help would be much appreciated mate. Cheers and keep up the good work
Yes they are pretty decent. Although I haven't been able to work out how to use the RF ports yet. But if you use scart cables it works well.
Another great video! How awesome 🤩 x
Thank you 🤗
first class job mate ! keep up the great work Merry Christmas .
Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Inspiration, that looks bloody brilliant, I've just started reselling and that's the beat set up I've seen so far, and I watch a lot of UA-cam reselling videos, I'm currently saving up to build a shed, any idea on should I build a small one or a big one, my thought is better to have the space and not need it right away than need the space and not have it, also any idea as a joiner how much it would cost me to get someone to build me a shed?
To pay a carpenter to build ones like mine would cost about 10k. So not cheap but mine has a proper tiled roof, is fully insulated and has its own power supply etc. It cost me about 5k in materials to build it.
@@TOMS_TAT thanks buddy, I guess I have a lot more selling to do 😂, love your videos 👍
@@gravelbags2479 Mines pretty fancy though tbh. You could probably do it a bit cheaper. You might be better off just buying a prepare one then insulate it.
What an awesome video I am looking to go full time reselling in the new year some great ideas there especially with the bubble wrap and brown paper absolutely brilliant have a happy new year bud
Thanks! I hope the reselling goes well for you!
Hi mate, have you had any overheating issues in the kallax boxes
No
Tom how you find working in the shed over winter with condensation etc how’s it insulated is it specialist shed / home office style or just basic shed shed 😂
I insulated it properly so its been great tbf. No condensation, heat stays in and cold stays out.
@@TOMS_TAT I’m moving into my shed in few months from a unit need to insulate my was planning on the silver bubble wrap insulation then boarding but not sure if that’s the right thing to do
@@JoshHowarth I used 100mm celotex on mine. Not cheap but works great.
I built the whole shed from scratch and I pretty much built it like a house! It even has water pipes plumbed in so I might even fit a sink for cleaning shoes and stuff. But to answer your question I'm not sure how well that bubble wrap stuff works as ive never used it.
Do you do commission jobs? As I’d love something similar 😂. Regardless, you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber
I used to do it as a full time job, but not anymore unfortunately.
@@TOMS_TAT that’s no problem. You need to get yourself a Nintendo Switch in there somewhere too 😊
@@gordon767 already got a boxed one. Paid £35 at a carboot lol
can you hang your photo lights from the roof so there out the way?
I did think about doing something like that. I'm going to look into it.
Hello mate just a quick one what’s the link to the tape dispenser that you use.
Cheers mate

@@TOMS_TAT cheers mate nice one keep up the good work
That is quality mate 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Hi, would you be interested in buying any consoles ive got atari working with games in orginal box plus other consoles and games.
Yes possibly. Please PM on Instagram.
@@TOMS_TAT done 👍
What a fantastic set up
Thanks mate!
Can’t you get like a ps3 & that will test ps3, ps2 & ps1 games & then get the newest Xbox & test all the Xbox games on that console
I could, but then I cant test controllers and other attachments for those other consoles.
Wow. Anything you think of, you just build. What a skill. How long did the whole setup take?
It took me 1 week but I was only doing a couple of hours each day.
Wow 👀
Quality set up. But i think storage for stock would of been a more worthwhile for the business in the long run. Your garage will quickly become too small. I test all my stuff in the house then storage in the garage
Im going to half the size of the photo area and then put more shelves up. I usually only buy small stuff too. I can store stuff in the house as well if I start to run out of space.
Cool set-up, funny how CEX the multi million pound business don't test them.
Because it would take to much time
That's because it's easier for them to accept a return then have people return stuff.
Quality
Cheers mate 👍
You can see you've thought and planned it. Well.done, nice to see someone doing well.
