Hope y’all enjoyed part 2 of the shop build! In part 3, I’ll go over adding the plywood, drywall, and cement board wall coverings. Thanks to ROCKWOOL for sponsoring this, learn more about SAFE'n'SOUND Sound Proof Insulation : bit.ly/rockwoolsafensound
Crafted Workshop it was great 👍 keep up the good work
Thanks!
I would love to see / hear how you planned all the electrical for the shop - like how you decided on how many outlets of 120 & 220, and how many circuits you have etc.
GREAT SERIES - lots of us living vicariously through this build I think! 🤣
Thanks a lot! I’ll try to post my layout as a UA-cam community post, I definitely did a lot of pre-planning.
Crafted Workshop jonat
That build out process was extremely satisfying to watch.
Thanks man! Hope you’ll be back in town again and you can come check it out!
Those wires running in a perfectly straight line was so satisfying
Hah, definitely!
That laser has come in ridiculously handy on this job. Love the idea of measuring on the floor and then shooting it on the ceiling with the laser. Wiring looks great. I bet your electrician loved it. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, definitely loved the laser! And yes, we made it super easy on the electrician.
Yes, having the holes line up for the wiring looks really professional . Sure , it won't be seen later , it's just a sign that the craftsmen take pride in their work . One thing though , I always strip my romex before putting it in the box , it makes life easier later, for a number of reasons .
Like so many have already said I love watching you makers build new spaces. Great to see people grow and expand. No jealousy here dude, all smiles and super happy for you. Cant wait to see the rest of the build and what you build here. Props to you.
What a perfect shop. Others will think and say it’s overkill to drill a hole on every single stud in a perfect straight-line, and same with the electrical boxes. But at the end everything looks perfect, level and Just great
For sure, thanks!
I’m so jealous of this custom shop, can’t wait to see it complete! Keep crushing it!
Thanks!
You’ve come a Long way from “The Garden Shed” build back in the day! Nice to see you learning so much and thank the Lord for Justin!
Hah, no kidding! Extra beer for Justin on Saturday 😂
So happy for you! What a beautiful space to work!
I love the way the place is coming together. I know the walls and finishes aren't up yet, but what's behind the walls is just as important as what's on them. You guys did a great job lining up the wiring holes. That's really good attention to detail and makes life a lot easier in installation and any future maintenance that'll arise over time. And the sound insulation was amazing! Your neighbors will definitely appreciate that haha.
The wire pull dance is the best 😂
This build series brought to you by line lasers! Super useful tools. Mine has a magnetic base and a 1/4=20 thread, having tripods around makes that even better.
Hah, no kidding. It is SO useful. We usually just hang it off a screw in a stud. So easy!
I'm digging this series! Rad share and congrats on the new space. It's coming together nicely.
Thanks a lot!
Wow that was a big difference in sound! Great job!
For sure, thanks!
Awesome progress!! I've been around for a year or so and watch every video you put out. You definitely make some awesome stuff!! Keep up the amazing work, and don't forget about that mountain bike you own 😉😉
Thanks so much! The mountain bike is waiting patiently, been riding my electric skateboard more recently 😊
Nice video man! I'm really happy for you, just went through the same, but in a much much smaller scale in my tiny workshop, so I know the wait and all the process can be a bit frustrating, but at the end it's really rewarding. Hope everything goes as planned for you.
Cheers.
Thanks a lot man!
This is a great series!! Love watching the shop come together. I'm learning a lot that I HOPE to apply to my own shop build at some point!
Thanks a lot!
I’ve always wanted to try a similar sound proofing like the one you use for music purposes. I wonder if it has a beneficial effect. But I love the way the workshop is coming together. It looks like it’ll be real pretty once it’s done.
Thanks a lot!
It’s amazing how you still get beautiful shots through out the entire video even though you are in a rush building a huge shop! The lighting is amazing. Just makes me regret not investing in some good lighting for the apartment projects. Now I will 🤣 anyway, great content and can’t wait to see the rest of the process!
Thanks, it’s funny, I’ve been feeling like my shots have been looking shitty 😂 Cordless construction lighting is the bomb.
One of the Best Ideas of SoundProofing is "SoundProof Curtains" it actually Block outside Noise coming from Windows. Check Here: livesoundproof.com/best-soundproof-curtains/
That wiring job is so purty!!! ;-)
Wow, the sound already is so much better! This place is gonna look great dude!!!!
For sure, thanks!
Looking awesome, I feel like you will need some sound panels along the tops of the walls once you put up the plywood. Really looking forward to it being full of tools and doing work!
My dude. The video editing was great. Thx Johnny. I look forward to more videos.
Thanks a lot!
Looks great! Cant wait to see the end product and how you organize the shop with the tools in it when you move over after the build :)
Gonna be fun!
Thanks for putting this great content!!! Very easy to follow for any level of experience
Thanks Steven!
Bro, your shop is going to be AMAZEBALLS
I’m pretty pumped!
Good work Johnny!
Thanks!
Great build, being in UK construction it’s interesting to see the differences in legislation. In commercial installation we have to use steel framing for all our partitions, due to the wood being a fire hazard. All cables passing though a partition or stud wall must have a steel plate nailed to the face to stop anyone boring or nailing through to the cable.
That helped the sound a ton!!
For sure!
Man!! I’m excited for ya!!
Thanks man!
Looking good.
Wow nice good job!:) But I kept wondering why wouldn't you have a bigger office? That's such a big space
Nice wiring job !
Thanks!
I like your BIG SHOP my Brother and awesome job guy's :)
Thanks man!
I use emt a lot for wiring and find if you chamfer the holes a little it makes pulling the wires a load easier
Good tip!
Great space! I have years of acoustics training from recording studio design. The added wall may not do as much as you hope since you didn't frame all the way to the ceiling and also because you effectively coupled the framing of your new wall to the original wall. The safe n' sound will help a bit with sound transmission between you and your neighbors but when you add the drywall or plywood over the insulation, most of the benefits that you currently hear in your microphones will be gone and the room will have about the same amount of echo as it did before. It will sound a little bit different because you changed the dimensions of the room by adding walls and because wood, drywall and concrete all have different sound characteristics... but a lot of the echo will return. You will likely need a bunch of sound absorption panels along the walls (similar to what you put on the ceiling) to kill the sound reflections bouncing around. Keep up the great vids and good luck!
Good tips, thanks!
Great video . How did you find the regulations for installing the wiring . Like you knew exactly what the codes were to pass inspection . Thanks .
Not to be rude, but you can Google the coffee for electrical
I worked with a licensed electrician who knew all of the requirements. Since I had to pull permits and get inspections, hiring someone who knew exactly what was required was certainly worth it.
Nice shop Johnny, You guys do great work. What is your projected finish date?
Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks a lot! Hope to be done in about two weeks.
You did the hard work of mounting all of the lights, and running the wire, but paid and electrician to come do the easy part of terminating? That guy had a really nice day!
What size and what type of cord/ wire do you think I should use to attach a shed with 6 outlets to a 200amp meter pole(nothing else is attached to this pole) I would like to bury the cord, it's only about 10ft from the shed. SEU? USE? SER?
It's all so confusing...
Thanks for the great video, you're fun to watch
Appreciate all the planning and details you had to determine before you even began the work. I'm sure the payoff is gonna be huge (if it isn't already)!
The shop coming up very nice, any plans you have for ventilation & natural light?
Thanks! I’ll be adding a mini split for heating and air but natural light is kind of annoying for me as it’s hard to control on camera. I like no windows!
Very interesting content... thanks for sharing 👏
Thanks for watching!
As always, you are one of my inspiration why I started my UA-cam channel.... keep up the good work!
Johnny what lav mic are you using? Sounds really good.
Thanks, it’s the Sennheiser AVX!
That insulation surely killed the echo problem, but won't the plywood walls bring it back considerably?
In any case, great work. Very interesting to watch this come together.
Thanks! The plywood will bring back some echo but the space should be much nicer and the sound transfer to my neighbors will be hugely reduced.
@@craftedworkshop Yeah, definitely the issue of noise from your activity is an important matter. It's definitely looking great. Maybe you could hang fabric on top of the plywood or something to help your end?
Yea we’ll see how it sounds once the plywood is in!
Rather than add a new comment I’m adding to this thread because it continues what you’ve covered. I’m a former live sound engineer and current sound editor/designer. I’ve been doing this for years so I know a few things about sound control.
I’ll start with some clarification. There’s a difference between sound ISOLATION and sound TREATMENT. Isolation is also called sound proofing - it keeps the sound from transferring through the walls to your neighbors. This is definitely the most important concern due to shop noise. Sound treatment is controlling the sound inside the given space. This is achieved through absorption and diffusion. In a space with long parallel walls you will have tons of slap and reverb. Once you put up tools, cabinets and machinery that will help diffuse the sound but it needs to eventually be absorbed.
If you put in some large frames on the top half of your wall and fill it with the insulation, you can cover it with some basic canvas or I’ve seen other shop owners use various flags. This will keep the sound under control. The more you add the better it will be. If after this you still have too lively of a room you need to add either soft walking mats on the floor or out more panels up top.
Great build so far.
Thanks! And yea, that is why we built the sound panels in addition to adding insulation to the walls. We’ve already finished with the plywood and the echo is certainly still drastically better than before, and that’s without all my stuff in the space to break up the sound.
I give you A + very nice job
Nice cans
If the 2x4 stud wall has the gap between it and the concrete wall could you just run the wiring in the gap and avoid the drilling on every stud?
Good job bro
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
Sounds great, awesome stuff Johnny! 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred! 🤘
it will echo again once you put on the drywall.
I've used Safe 'n Sound for years. It's surprising how much it deadens sound. That said, it's much better used in conjunction with Homasote. Best, @HOneyOnWales
Nice job! Just curious, I was told that any time you’re making contact with cement you need to use pressure treated wood but I didn’t see you doing that here is that alright?
You need pressure treated for concrete floors or exterior walls, which we used. We just used standard 2x4s for the rest, since the shop walls are interior wall.
Good progress! Any ethernet cables for WiFi?
Kind of ran out of time for that, but it’s easy enough to run it along the top plate to the office. Thanks!
@Crafted Workshop I’m considering the same lights from American Green Lights for my new workshop. What color temperature did you go with? I usually prefer a warmer 4000k but maybe for a workshop 5000k is a more honest white?? Thanks for the great videos!!
5000k. 5000k is pure white similar to sunlight at noon with a cloudless clear blue sky
Can you tell me why you framed 16" CC instead of 24"CC?
You should have used those plastic bridge romex staples with the 2 small nails instead of using those Metal staples because those metal staples can pinch and short out the conductors of the Romex cable !
Even though I had woodwork as a school subject until 12th grade, would buildings still feel weird and flimsy to me. I suppose I've slept in wooden buildings maybe 10 night in all of my life. I am wood curious though to build a little shed.
6:00 lol. That was funny.
That additional insulation is going to pay itself back when you come to heat / cool the shop. For that reason I would have insulated the entire wall and ceiling too! :-)
Don't you have to put metal plates on the studs to stop you from drilling into the wire? Or did I miss that?
No, since the wires are ran deep enough in the walls.
Do you have ground in every power outlet, just curious. I wonder why and if that is because you use metal rods for the romex cables. Here in Sweden we use plastic rods with flex in them to wire up cable in walls, with ground ofcourse.
All of the wire we pulled already had a ground wire built in, so that we can then ground the outlets.
@@craftedworkshop aha, I thought it was something like that. Thanks for answering. Good luck with your new workshop 👊
If this a a rented space, what happens to all your work when you are done renting it?
I could take it with me, hence why we’re using screws rather than nails. I’m planning to stay in this space as long as possible though.
@@craftedworkshop Thanks for the reply. I hope it works out for you long term.
I had to add the framing to add the sound proof insulation. Since I paid for it, I am allowed to take it with me.
Me too!
For sure, thanks!
That echo will be right back as soon as you put the plywood on the walls
No it won't.
It will block the sound going next door but it will do absolutely nothing for the echo in the room once the plywood goes in.
Why is there a hair next to your name that scrolls on my screen? It's freaking me out man!@First Name
First Name it’s okay. I need a new laptop screen though, after scraping at that hair to try to remove it for the last hour.
First Name I have been joking the entire time I thought it was obvious.
Loved it, quick question the 240V is it just for the tools or is America switching? Never heard of 240V in America also 50 or 60Hz?
America isn’t switching lol, it’s just for more heavy duty tools
240V is for tools with bigger motors or larger power draw, like my welders. We’re not switching, hah!
@@craftedworkshop thansl for the reply would've Found it odd if you we're switching, good luck and excited to see the rest of the build!
@@JR0405 Thanks for the reply would've Found it odd if you we're switching. Is there also then 400V 3 fased available in the US for even larger machines?
There is!
won't code have you put nail plates where your romex is running thru the studs?
Only if the hole is is within a 1 1/4 inches of the face of the studs
Yup!
How much is this set up costing?
Would be nice to have a window from the front office to the shop. Both for visitors and for a little natural light.
Yea that would have been cool, but having to deal with the sound transfer from the shop into the office would have been annoying for my editor.
Good video! Did your electrician give you crap for not leaving a few inches of slack cable outside of each box, or is code different in the US? I only have basic knowledge of wiring, and your layout is SUPER clean, but this seems to be a major no-no afaik...?
"We didn't wire any of the fixtures... we just ran the wire".... SUUUUURE Buddy! LOL Shop's looking good! Congrats on the new space.
It’s true man, don’t want to get in trouble! And thanks!
Pro tip. If doing reno get a laser. 😂
Basically. 😜
The staple in the 10-2 at 7:03 looks like it is too tight go back and loosen it some if you can.
Ohh Paul I noticed that too. Also in future you should leave some slack in the wiring, in case you ever have to do any re-wiring you have some to pull through. Great video though!
Why not run the wires between the studs and the concrete wall❓ Maybe attach them to the concrete with cable clips.
Drilling into concrete is much more time consuming, not sure it would have been any faster.
Maybe it's too late , but you should have made space for a small kind of bedroom , because i think that having such an awesome workshop makes you want to spend most of your time in ... at least that what i would do if i have one like it ...lol
Should have put some service loops in just in case.... :-)
Would be much easier to use EMT between lights. Will look cleaner ;)
I don’t think it’d be easier but it would certainly look clean!
Nice clean work, but man you guys got alot to learn
Do tell !
What things?
No metal plates needed over the wires in the walls? Maybe I'm posting this to early before the video is done?
No, they’re set back far enough in the studs to not require that.
I don't understand why you (and USA in general) still installing those massive can down lights? Here in the UK we use much smaller down lights which use GU10 retrofit LED lamp (or round LED panel which is about 1 inch thick). so much smaller in scale compare to those you use. 🤔🤷♂️
It's all preference and cost, I'd imagine.
It's more to do with the actual output and spread of the light, gu10's are more of a domestic light.
I was wondering the same think about the panel 'canless' LED lights.
we do have lights similar to that i install them in all the houses i do
Im an electrician in norway and every wire and staples look so complicated in america, its like you are 50 years behind
pølsemakern do you have samples of a video like this that meets your countries standards?
@@dennispope8160 ua-cam.com/video/1ILpUdxIvSo/v-deo.html, we have tubes in a curved shape so that water / condensate will drain into boxes, cables are finished in pipes straight from the factory, it is not shown in this video. We use pipes to be able to change the cables, as something happens to them.
This video is a bit old and we do a lot of smarter things, and this video is for people at school so its a bit slow
@@dennispope8160 ua-cam.com/video/MLQ6IWLPX0E/v-deo.html
@@dennispope8160 ua-cam.com/video/YIIuksNh1pI/v-deo.html
You have way too much romex cable sticking out at each box location ! NEC Code says only 6 to 8 inches past the front edge of the box is all that is needed !
Ryan Gosling is that you?
Somebody forgot to tell them about a service loop. Oops. Otherwise, nice work.
That’s much more common for things like Ethernet cable. Electrical cable has to be secured to the studs, you can’t have extra wire floating around.
@@craftedworkshop That must be a regional/american thing. Here (Canada), it's a staple within 8" of the box and we always have an 'S' type loop ahead of that but before the box. I like it because I've done so many renovations and replacing switches and receptacles is a royal pain with no extra wire. Thanks for the reply. Great shop!!
You made more work for yourself by running the wire down the entire length of the walls rather than finding the middle of the wall and running it down one side and then the next.
rock wool soaks up water like a sponge, lol
Have always heard "laser line" not "line laser" and it's killing me haha. Awesome video otherwise.
Yea, the technical name is line laser so that’s what I went with, hah! Thanks.
Wrong connectors
Aren't you afraid of putting so much money on a rented space?
It’s a very worthwhile investment and I’m planning to stay there for many years.
You finished the shop very nicely.... but you didn't build it . That's why I came here.
