LOVE IT! Feel free to come up to NJ and help me turn one bay of my two car garage into a small shop 😂. Between golf clubs, gig equipment (part-time musician), etc. it's a nightmare. One of those "I don't even know where to start" things. Loved the video on the influencers. Funny that you got Matt Outlaw and others involved.
Great job making your shop tour fun! It seems like a lot of shop tour videos end up being like “Blah blah here’s my saw, I use it to cut staff. Here is my glue, I use it to glue stuff… “ I also think it’s really cool that you have supported other makers so much in buying their plans!
Just watched Marc's video with your shop. Nice work. With the link that he provided, you should get a lot more traffic. Glad to have subscribed long before you become too famous. - Chris
You can 3D print replacement fence guide sliders for the Ridgid tablesaws that make it much better, I have the R4520 and the fence is now rock solid, the fence tracks much straighter when unlocked, and when locked is completely immovable. I replaced the two guides in the front, and the clamp guide in the back.
Seems to be alot of woodworkers in tx here doing well on YT. Nice shop. I remember the Borden cow stuff from eons ago. Used to work for a ad guy here in Houston who had the account.
You can come over and redo my tiny shop anytime you want 😉. I have a 9x15 converted carport that was here when I bought the place. I use a lot of flip carts. My biggest wish is a way to get a decent out feed table. Love your channel! You make some great videos. Thorough and you throw in a little humor.
Found your channel from watching the Wood Whisperer when he shared your shop tour. I laughed out loud at his comment/question about what ever are you doing in your garage that you can’t leave your tools out all the time. LOL. Great shop. Great use of space.
I bet you could! I’ll find the link to where I got it and send it to you. It’s a brilliant design. I didn’t have space to do the typical one that folds down off the wall.
@@wittworks I came down to the comments looking for CNC table reference as well. Would appreciate you adding to description if possible. Thanks for sharing, i watched TWW video and then came over and found your channel.
Thank you! I’ll do the info in the description soon. I made this video in July and never released it. When I saw TWW video today I published it in a hurry! Here’s a link to a video I found on the cnc table. It’s called TARQ’S Design: ua-cam.com/video/tHxdxXSdV7M/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video. I really enjoying seeing people’s setup and use that as inspiration for my house. We had a house built and it always seems space is a premium. So one little thing here and nugget there is always huge when trying to maximize space. Keep on going. Enjoying the content.
Nice shop! I thought your video was going to be a longer, less cut down version of what I just watched in Marc's video, but he showed the full tour! Nice! Keep up the great work!
Thank you! He asked for 5 min so I tried to keep to it. I surprised he showed it, much less the whole thing! I recorded it on a whim in July and forgot about it until I saw his post today. Thank you for watching!
Just seen this over on Marks video dude, loved your edit and your shop 🤙🏻 What I don’t understand is how you’re not using the entire garage as the workshop, cars no longer belong in garages anymore surely 😜😂
my man! Awesome job, great edit, and cool shop! its so rad to see how you utilize your space. I dig the n-ext products on your shelves, and I think I have the same harbor freight mallet. 🤣
Thank you! Good eye spotting J-peezy's products! Dang it! I thought I hid all my secret HF tools before I recorded. Massive failure. I'm still missing a workbench with black laminate like you have...
Hi Witt. I like the drawer bottoms running in trenches in the side panels, that's a great idea. Nicely organised set up. Good to see you also have stuff you like and never use lol. Enjoyed the tour. Tony
I just subscribed after watching your shop tour on TWW channel. I want to Ditto the sentiments of rick matthew jones. I'm happy to have found your channel. One thing I saw in your video that really peaked my interest is your X-Carve cart. Can you point me in a direction where I can get a better look at its construction. I have a OneFinity and am very much in need of such a cart. It dominates my small space and I need to tuck it out of the way so I can use the space. Of course I can design it myself...but thought I'd ask anyway. Happy Saw Dust

My poor sweet wife has given up on parking in our garage anymore. She ‘seems totally fine’ with us parking on the street while I cover everything in our garage with a thick layer of the finest sawdust.
I’m super happy I found your channel. Your content is great. Do you have plans for your out feed table? I want to build something like that in my shop. Thanks
Excellent shop tour. I feel you’re pain regarding scrap wood. I’ve sat on the same scrap would for about 5 years but I threw it all out at the weekend. I’m now waiting to see how long it will be before I regret it. I suspect less than a month, but now I’ve got lots more room to store new scrap wood 😀
Thank you. I suspect you will do a project in the next 45 days where you will have had the perfect piece of unnecessary walnut for the job. Or pandemic prices return to 2x4s....I'm praying for the first circumstance....
I have piles of cut offs and scraps I cannot get rid of. I used to hoard it so badly that I would spend more time picking up piles that had fallen of scrap than making. Now I open the shop up to local schools/maker groups to come pick through my piles twice a year. In return I ask they make me something cool or donate to their favorite charity. Honestly the first time I did this it was "painful" to see all my favorite scraps go away and I kept wanting to reach out and say "not that piece!" First project I got back was from a guy who had driven almost 2 hours one way wanting to get into woodworking after retiring from the military. He had made this awesome furniture grade mjolnir from the scraps. Now I look forward to seeing what comes from these creatives who can take the scraps and just make beautiful art.
@@wittworks yes I have the Vega 50. I like it, it was pretty easy to install and it is a huge upgrade over the stock fence. Only thing that I had problems with is getting it to totally zero out on the measuring gauge seems like the sight glass. It's off by an 1/8 but I measure it all the time
Love the bump out and have been thinking about doing that to gain extra space. Did you do that or have it done? Love the channel, keep up the great work!!
Hey Witt. I really enjoy your videos. Smart and to the point. Are you still in the San Antonio area? I’m in Wimberley and I’m sure you know that April is in the Canyon Lake area.
So cool seeing the entire shop, and happy to see the recent growth in subscribers…I suspect you’ll be +1MM subs this time next year ! Do you recall where you got the plans for the CNC table?
Thank you! 1M???? I'm aiming for 20k 🤪 Here’s a link to a video I found on the cnc table. It’s called TARQ’S Design: ua-cam.com/video/tHxdxXSdV7M/v-deo.html
I've always been curious about the bump-out area, before I knew it was a bump-out. Pretty cool. I've got a 2-1/2 car garage (the only one within miles, it seems). My shop IS the bump-out, as it were. Does the bug light really help with the skeeters? I don't know about your part of S.A. but we've hardly had any rain to speak of since spring here on the west side. I have no idea where the mosquitoes could be breeding but they're everywhere. Until now that is, with the cold weather moving in.
Something that very few home woodworkers ever talk about or address… noise. Especially when running the equipment in the garage or an attached workshop. Do you have any tips or tricks to reduce the wall of sound coming from the shop? Or is the noise just a perk of being your neighbour haha 😇
Ha! We have spray foam insulation and paid extra to have insulation in the ceiling of the garage because we rent out a studio apartment above. Noise is pretty minimal. Not sure what a retro solution would be…
@@wittworks Short of ripping out the drywall and adding specific noise reduction insulation and panels, I dunno. Guess a person could build some 2x4 frames, put the sound dampening panels into those and mount them on the walls though 🤷♂️ Could be an interesting video idea (wink wink!)
@@wittworks can we get an indepth video of all the small things, of youre made benches? Like the foldable lges how you made them, and the drawer systen Would love that🙃😁
I bought his "smart woodshop" trailer plans. It was the only reason I bought the plans. Well worth the $25 investment. Here's the direct link: t.ly/J4Qf Please tel Ron I sent you so he can know who I am :)

Nice little shop Witt. I never realized it was that small I guess. I have to ask though, what made the Paulk SB the toughest thing you ever made? I bought the plans this Summer and I plan on making it this Fall/Winter. I'm pretty inexperienced so any tips are appreciated.
Thank you! The build wasn’t technically hard, it forced me to learn some new router skills by making a template and going for accuracy. I studied the plans every night for a week before I started. It was a turning point in my development. I was a hack at best before. I learned and grew so much. Ron is a genius. Big mistake I made was just drawing out the lines and drilling with a 3/4” forsner. If I had to do it again, and I will at some point, I’d get the ujk parf guide and drill 20mm holes. My top is basically useless when it comes to accuracy of an mft. I just have convenient clamp holes that aren’t super accurate in a grid. I didn’t glue the top down so I can replace it.
@@wittworks I appreciate you taking the time to respond. That makes me feel better as I have already purchased the Parf Guide. I wish you the best with your channel, I always look forward to watching your vids. Andy
Great video and your great Witt. (see what I did there). I really need to have my machines on mobile bases. Thanks for sharing! Glad you are getting more exposure!
I can’t let my wife watch this. We will probably move next the next year to a house with a two car garage and I’ve negotiated the garage as my dedicated work shop (no cars allowed). If she sees this, every tool will have to fit in a steamer trunk.

Found you through Travis, looking forward to watching more videos. A lot of good ideas in this video. I am in Katy, TX.
You can 3D print replacement fence guide sliders for the Ridgid tablesaws that make it much better, I have the R4520 and the fence is now rock solid, the fence tracks much straighter when unlocked, and when locked is completely immovable. I replaced the two guides in the front, and the clamp guide in the back.
