One request on the bench.... do the video for it Paul Sellers style where there's like 8 videos for one project... you've done a few projects like that and for learning about a particular phase, those videos are much appreciated
Congrats on moving house! My idea for things i'd like to see. Ive seen hundreds of work bench builds, tables, dovetail boxes... Its fine but nobody seems to be doing joiner's work (not sure what the American term would be). In British tradition the joiner would make and install doors, windows, staircases etc. I know building a staircase is a bit much to ask but surely it would be lovely to have some solid oak doors made by your own hands in your new house!?
In the US we call that finish carpentry. As opposed to the rough Carpenter that did the framing and structural work. I'm thinking about making a double set of doors for the shop. I was going to be doing a window in the old shop but don't have that anymore LOL
It's just wonderful to see you happy and excited. Do you really want to know what I would like to see you to do? Well, to see you and your family happy and excited. Easy.
So pumped for you dude!! One request from a little old viewer…maybe one day the walls get painted? Idk I miss the warm wood kinda dark vibe color of the old shop it felt cozy :)
Very happy for you and your family. When I retired a few years back, I got my “dream shop” which is a 16x20 shed. It is my happy place and I actually believe I like it better as a small space. If I had 2000 square feet, I would probably feel like I had to buy a bunch of large expensive tools that make a lot of noise and dust :)
I loved this video. I’ve been malpracticing my way into woodworking for the last two years, and last year settled into a new house with a bay in the garage for a shop. I’m still re-organizing the boxes and the layout, and now I’ve included the work bench and sharpening station I built. Watching you work through the organization and the storage ideas has been terrifically helpful. looking forward to all the new developments. And congratulations on the new house!
I love the white walls due to the contrast between the wooden frames holding the tools and the tools themselves; I could not distinguish them in your last shop due to how dark it was. I'm interested in your new sharpening station.
You’re the best teacher I’ve ever had. And we’ve never met, and I drift in and out of your subscriptions. You’re an incredible teacher and you’re not condescending or make any of us feel small in a world that’s an onslaught of that. I love what you bring to the world, and wish you all the success.
I love this, especially about building things for the shop, then moving from there. It has been a few months since I moved into the new shed and I am still making things for it. I would love to see more about plane storage for an interested collector.
You asked what projects to start and move to. A box to start with using hand tools mostly. It involves design concepts, layout tools and accuracy and then use of tools to complete job. Maybe a wall cabinet after that where all the skills used in the box making are applied plus set-back design concepts, various dados and mortise and tenons for frame and panel construction.
A great project and shop accessory is to build a card catalog type cabinet to keep all your hardware in. The small deep drawers are perfect for holding and organizing hardware. If you use traditional wooden drawer slides, you can easily pull a drawer out and take it to your bench to use. They can be made simply or as ornate and complex as you desire.
Such exciting times. Been watching for years, been great to see you talk about your new bench.. sourcing the slab, air drying it. Talking about building a new shop, and now it's only months away. Made up for you James 👍
Purely aesthetic, but I liked the color tones that the old wood-paneled wall gave to your videos, versus the stark white of having drywall in the background. But I'm really happy for you and I'm looking forward to watching you on this new journey
Congrats on the new shop, it looks very bright. I really liked your coloured backwall behind the tools, when you were setting up that side of your old shop it's the only thing that was missing in (public) videos: how to go from drywall/concrete to a beautiful backdrop to attach the french cleats to.
For your sharpening station, how about a fold up table to free up floor space when not sharpening? Drop down the table with everything in place for immediate sharpening and then up again to clear the space.
The one regret I have when setting up my own shop is messing with the drywall. In retrospect I should have just covered every in plywood. My thpught at the time was to do French cleats but it’s so much easier just screwing everything directly to the wall which I can move anywhere in any direction. And if an old screw hole bothers me fill it with a dowel.
Great video, thank you, like you I've just moved into a new much bigger shop, I think it is an organic process as things change as we go along. Greetings from the UK
Hope your move goes better than mine. I've been in my new shop for about a year and it still isn''t fully operational. Still have boxes of stuff that needs a new home. Have to figure out new cabinetry for the stuff that still needs a new home.🙂🙂
I'm very happy for you now that you have your new space! But I don't think you're done redecorating your shop until not a single white spot is visible behind you in your tool wall. Because that is the Wood by Wright image that matches your craftsmanship and fun in making things. As always, I look forwards to your result.
I like the idea of having different workbenches for live classes for people to try. I think it is one of the things folks get stuck on, not only how tall/long/wide it should be but which type( English,”roubo”, shaker, Moravian, etc)
I would like to see a class on "hand planing for the hybrid woodworker". Basically how to get a board flat enough to run through a thickness planer if you don't have a power jointer (or don't have a wide enough one). I envision the class covering choosing hand planes, setting and sharpening them as well as techniques for getting a board flat enough that it won't rock when going through a thickness planer. I have been able to do this, but I am not very good at it. I would like some feedback. Are my planes not sharp enough? Do I need to work on my planing technique? Is it just harder to do than I think it should be? I am lucky enough to live less than a 90 minute drive from you and I would make the drive to attend such a class in person.
Took me an inordinate amount of time to figure out why all the wall racks and not cabinets with drawers. Some things you have a bunch of, like files and rasps where I have less than a dozen total. I completely agree with having the layout tools central and I'd be doing the same thing IF I ever figure out how I really want it. Somehow I have two sharpening stations now. I figure I'll hang the older one one the end of the bench for touchups and the other on a pullout on the weird grinder/drill press/metal work anvil cabinet.
Good luck with the new shop and house! Very interesting about online classes especially for those of us that can’t travel. I look forward to watching your videos every day.
I am looking forward to seeing what you do with your new bench. I am planning one for my shop to go along with the Sjobergs one I bought. You are remodeling, and if you don't know, by the time you get done with all of the remodeling, it is time to start over. That is the fun, as well as frustrating part about remodeling. I can never build some thing the same way twice.... Always 'new and improved;....
Hi James, my question is why don't you consider a slat wall so you can move your special saw till and plane till and file till to a new place and not have to re-hang it your wall. I went through the same thing and when I got all my tools where I wanted them my drywall looked like it had been attacked by termites. I have even considered moving some of my back saws to my work bench to free up more space. It does seem though that you are in constant re-arrangement of all your tools. Good luck and I like your new shop and can't wait for your classes to begin.
Welcome to your new shop! With time, it’d be great to see multi-species wood planking instead of the drywall. But, that’s just me. I’m really looking forward to following you building your new workbench! And, in time, maybe even visiting as a student in one of your classes? Who knows.
Congrats James. The new shop is going to serve you well. This is RamChickPig. I'm starting to build stuff again. Still using the set of Aldi Chisels you gave me.
Would love to see that new chisel storage system. For the new sharpening bench it might be a fun idea to route out rectangles the size of your most common stones that you always use so the top of the stones will we flush with the top of the bench. It will make you way less likely to use that new table to put stuff on as every horizontal surface is destined to be covered with tools and junk. And a board attached to some dog pins that sits on top of the bench might be a good idea when your doing some more dangerous activities. Dont want to make up the new bench immediately
Looking forward to more Pole lathe videos, maybe a treadle lathe on the horizon? I can recommend Texas Heritage aprons if you decide you need one. I'm currently taking the M&T online course and I enjoy their format, maybe something to look into...
Scratchin my head trying to figure out a way to talk the missus into moving so I can build a shop. Nah, no gonna happen in this life, so guess I'll head back outside. So happy for you and the family James. Take care & stay safe.
Oooh, exciting! I took quite a bit of inspiration from your old shop and the builds you did for that for my own shop. So, I can't wait to see what you'll build for the new shop because I'm sure that'll give me more inspiration and ideas. Do them in detail, please. And give us plans.
Can’t wait until how I see what you do to mount that HUGE vise, I have the smaller version. I want to see what you do. I’m not totally happy with the way I mounted mine. Looking for ideas.
Really looking forward to your new bench! I will at some point build myself a workbench and it would be very helpful to learn what elements are necessary for what type of projects. Maybe you could even interview other woodworkers on why and how they prefer their workbench in a certain way. So basically looking at it from a beginner's perspective but obviously with the knowledge you have now. Full disclaimer: I don't know if you have covered that already in your previous bench builds... And in general I like to see videos where principal are explained rather than only a particular project. Because I usually have an idea for a project but if course there is not one video out there, that explains how my thing would be built exactly. That's what I value so hugely in your videos, that you always explain why you do something and if there are other ways to do it. Not just giving one possibility. And that you encourage people to find what works for them! So thank you for that.
I'm interested in marking tools storage, as it's something I need to make as well. Shop organization vids are always good, as my shop needs a bunch of organization. Congrats on the new house & shop!
been waiting to see the build on that huge slab bench for a long time. cant wait, glad you got a bigger shop to do everything you wanted to do. good luckJames.
I am looking forward to all the new content as you think your way through how everything will fit and where it will go. Oh, and all the little side projects like cabinets, racks, shelves, etc .... as needed.
Congratulations on the new shop! I only have one corner of my garage but I love getting cool storage tips from guys like you who have larger shops. I hope this is as fun as you expect it to be.
Now that you have a larger shop, you have room for the whole kit and caboodle. The problem is that while you can still get kits, you can’t get caboodles. They do, however, make caboodle kits so you can make your own caboodle. So you end up with the whole kit and caboodle kit. 😊 Now that you have more space, would like to see you build a saw bench.
I just finished upgrading my basement shop! But that's not my point actually, just happy like you. I have a short ceiling height in my basement, about 7-1/2 feet. I left the ceiling open in my shop area for several reasons (lights, running wires & cable, dust collection) and found the rafters convenient for clamping on most of my clamps. Just reachable, out of the way, and saves a LOT of wall space. So I think your beam idea is very good. Edit: No, shopping for a new shop is not a problem, it is an opportunity!
My ceiling is 7 FT 1 in. I was going to tear out all the drywall so I'd have open joyce. But they have insulation in between the floors and I really didn't want to mess with that so I decided to leave it alone.
You mentioned something about shop furniture. It’d be great to see something that’s almost like a real deal piece of furniture. But it could be a general workbench against a wall but also has drawers and doors for storage under it. (We all have stuff that just needs a home like hardware and consumables) just a thought! Actual cabinets are fast and easy but don’t give the experience of building real furniture! Congrats on the house and shop!
I want to see it all!!! You could put a camera up in the corner and live stream whenever you are in there working and I would put it up on the monitor in my shop while I work (which is every day as its my main source of income).
Thanks for all of the great videos! Im very excited to see the bench build and all of the new project videos. I really like the idea of having multiple camera angles.
Leave the drywall! Although wood-covered walls seem to be a popular, good idea, it is not. The main purpose of drywall is fire protection -- something not to be taken lightly. Additionally, drywall can be easily repaired in the event of misshaps and/or changes. It also is reflective of light -- something you will really appreciate as you age.
Congratulations on the new shop! Your multi-angle live classes is ambitious, and I like it! May I suggest you consider redundancy in your tech gear. If you have it and it’s ready to go you can recover more quickly and with less stress. So, a camera you can swap in, another switch and router, perhaps your Internet and a 5G backup, another computer, everything setup, running and ready to go. Label cables at both ends. When you start your classes and are covering the housekeeping let folks know what to expect if some goes wrong. Like, if you can’t fix it in 5 minutes, you’ll take a 30 minute break, and if that’s not enough the rain date is the next weekend. Something like that would be nice. Not that I’ve ever done anything like this, just sayin’ ;-) As for what I’d like to see, in any video really, is more of the setup detail. This seems To get cut for time but is the biggest challenge when I’ve gone and tried to do it. Glad to see you in the new place and looking forward to what’s next!
I'm looking forward to all your new videos... however, I prefer the warmth that came from wood on the wall than the bright white... just my own opinion...
For thr file rack, how about a sheet of 1/8" hardboard for a backer? It's cheap, easy to shape, impact resistant and, well, hard. Just a suggestion. 🤷♂️
One request on the bench.... do the video for it Paul Sellers style where there's like 8 videos for one project... you've done a few projects like that and for learning about a particular phase, those videos are much appreciated
that is the way I do all the furniture builds. I like going a bit more in-depth. then I do one compotation video when it is all done.
If this seems like a good idea start another channel, my attention span isn't that good.
This is the way I've been doing them for years. I usually have one furniture build going in the shop at all times.
No; Do it with Paul Sellers
Congrats on the new live-in workbench container!
Congrats on moving house!

My wife and I were much amused by the logic path that went from "I bought a new vise" to "I need to buy a new house." 😀
You’re the best teacher I’ve ever had. And we’ve never met, and I drift in and out of your subscriptions. You’re an incredible teacher and you’re not condescending or make any of us feel small in a world that’s an onslaught of that.

Congrats I like all the tools together like they were in the old shop. It looked like on big wooden wall
For your cable management, most don’t know about a lot of velcro straps to keep things nice and tight. Congrats on the new shop!

You could put a shelf above the window over your long clamps with a stiffener on the front edge to clip your spring camps and smaller clamps onto.
New workshop looks great James. Wish my workshop was in the basement and not in a double garage where stuff goes rusty
Congrats on the new house and shop. I look forward to seeing what you are going to do with it.
The one regret I have when setting up my own shop is messing with the drywall. In retrospect I should have just covered every in plywood.

Very nice. Mirror mirror on the wall...
Congratulations on your new home and shop
I'm all for wood walls happening at some point, or brown paint. It would make the space a lot more cozy than blank white
Good luck with the new house, shop and all those great ideas👍
Great video, thank you, like you I've just moved into a new much bigger shop, I think it is an organic process as things change as we go along. Greetings from the UK
Congrats on the new shop. I will be excited to see develop until completely done.
Congratulations on the new house and shop.
Congratulations on the new shop, looking forward to seeing what great things you do and share in the future! 😁
huge congrats on the new house and shop! great to see growth and expansion.
So excited for the new shop! Nice to see a different setting after all these years. Looking forward to your giga bench build!
Hope your move goes better than mine. I've been in my new shop for about a year and it still isn''t fully operational. Still have boxes of stuff that needs a new home. Have to figure out new cabinetry for the stuff that still needs a new home.🙂🙂

Not into building things, but there is something relaxing in watching builders; with or without narrative.
Looks like the new shop is going to be fun, the one thing I'd like to see is how you work-out spacing and depths for all the new tool racks etc.
They say the center of a house is it's kitchen.... Nope, pattern maker's vice.
Congratulations on the new shop and house
congrats again. Looking forward to seeing the shop develop.
Congradulations can't wait to see the progress.
Just converted my shop into a hand tool shop. Very excited to learn from you and other amazing hand tool woodworkers.
Looks like such an exciting start sooo many possibilities
I built a new shop 19 years ago. I moved in and started making but it’s not organized the way I’d like it. Reorganizing is tough help!
Took me an inordinate amount of time to figure out why all the wall racks and not cabinets with drawers. Some things you have a bunch of, like files and rasps where I have less than a dozen total. I completely agree with having the layout tools central and I'd be doing the same thing IF I ever figure out how I really want it. Somehow I have two sharpening stations now. I figure I'll hang the older one one the end of the bench for touchups and the other on a pullout on the weird grinder/drill press/metal work anvil cabinet.
Good luck with the new shop and house! Very interesting about online classes especially for those of us that can’t travel. I look forward to watching your videos every day.

Hi James, my question is why don't you consider a slat wall so you can move your special saw till and plane till and file till to a new place and not have to re-hang it your wall. I went through the same thing and when I got all my
tools where I wanted them my drywall looked like it had been attacked by termites. I have even considered moving some of my back saws to my work bench to free up more space. It does seem though that you are in constant re-arrangement of all your tools. Good luck and I like your new shop and can't wait for your classes to begin.
Welcome to your new shop!
With time, it’d be great to see multi-species wood planking instead of the drywall. But, that’s just me.
I’m really looking forward to following you building your new workbench!
And, in time, maybe even visiting as a student in one of your classes? Who knows.
Looks like an awesome workshop space!
I hope you ended up finding your 140. 🙂
Congrats James. The new shop is going to serve you well. This is RamChickPig. I'm starting to build stuff again. Still using the set of Aldi Chisels you gave me.
Good to see you on here again. Looking forward to seeing what you make
Excited for you. and interested in online classes. Love shop projects!
Nice can't wait to see the bench built
What a nice space for a shop. I am looking forward to seeing it shape up.
Would love to see that new chisel storage system. For the new sharpening bench it might be a fun idea to route out rectangles the size of your most common stones that you always use so the top of the stones will we flush with the top of the bench. It will make you way less likely to use that new table to put stuff on as every horizontal surface is destined to be covered with tools and junk. And a board attached to some dog pins that sits on top of the bench might be a good idea when your doing some more dangerous activities. Dont want to make up the new bench immediately
Stones level with the bench would not work. Obviously.
Looking forward to more Pole lathe videos, maybe a treadle lathe on the horizon?
I can recommend Texas Heritage aprons if you decide you need one.
I'm currently taking the M&T online course and I enjoy their format, maybe something to look into...
I’d love to see more projects where you are making tools/jigs/ thingys to make more thingys
Congratulations, I am looking forward to the classes and shop organization projects.
All those projects sounds great
Scratchin my head trying to figure out a way to talk the missus into moving so I can build a shop. Nah, no gonna happen in this life, so guess I'll head back outside. So happy for you and the family James. Take care & stay safe.
Oooh, exciting! I took quite a bit of inspiration from your old shop and the builds you did for that for my own shop. So, I can't wait to see what you'll build for the new shop because I'm sure that'll give me more inspiration and ideas. Do them in detail, please. And give us plans.
All the shop furniture builds sound great. Congrats on the new house
Looking forward to the shop set up projects. Also - clad the wall!
Totally looking forward to the bench build! Congrats on the new space!
Use some of the floor rubber behind the file/rasp till. Just a thought❤
Can’t wait until how I see what you do to mount that HUGE vise, I have the smaller version. I want to see what you do. I’m not totally happy with the way I mounted mine. Looking for ideas.

Man convinces wife to buy a new house to get a bigger garage to mount a bigger vise. You need to teach a class on how to achieve this!
I am looking forward to all the new content as you think your way through how everything will fit and where it will go.

I built a wood vice that locks in my bench vice very useful bought the plan's from wordsmith
Best of luck with it
Good for you, I hope that what you wish for!
Congratulations on your new shop, and the home that comes along. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for all of the great videos! Im very excited to see the bench build and all of the new project videos. I really like the idea of having multiple camera angles.
I like the light background, but something wood grained wood be nice. Also, a little more sound dampening. Picking up a bit of reverb.
Leave the drywall! Although wood-covered walls seem to be a popular, good idea, it is not. The main purpose of drywall is fire protection -- something not to be taken lightly. Additionally, drywall can be easily repaired in the event of misshaps and/or changes. It also is reflective of light -- something you will really appreciate as you age.
Congratulations on the new shop! Your multi-angle live classes is ambitious, and I like it! May I suggest you consider redundancy in your tech gear. If you have it and it’s ready to go you can recover more quickly and with less stress. So, a camera you can swap in, another switch and router, perhaps your Internet and a 5G backup, another computer, everything setup, running and ready to go. Label cables at both ends. When you start your classes and are covering the housekeeping let folks know what to expect if some goes wrong. Like, if you can’t fix it in 5 minutes, you’ll take a 30 minute break, and if that’s not enough the rain date is the next weekend. Something like that would be nice. Not that I’ve ever done anything like this, just sayin’ ;-) As for what I’d like to see, in any video really, is more of the setup detail. This seems To get cut for time but is the biggest challenge when I’ve gone and tried to do it. Glad to see you in the new place and looking forward to what’s next!
I'm looking forward to all your new videos... however, I prefer the warmth that came from wood on the wall than the bright white... just my own opinion...
For thr file rack, how about a sheet of 1/8" hardboard for a backer? It's cheap, easy to shape, impact resistant and, well, hard. Just a suggestion. 🤷♂️
Congratulations on your move. You’re going to have a blast.
Your concept for multiple angles for zoom classes sounds great. Maybe a good first class project would be a dust free laptop enclosure for our shops.
that is the great part of all hand tools. almost no dust.
Nice shop! Looks like you found the Wright place!
Congratulations James & Sarah! I’m so happy for your family. How are the children adjusting to the move?
So far so good. They are enjoying the new house
