My favorite series
100%
The series appreciates you!
hey Taylor, you put the tint on the wrong side and wrong direction, the mirror should be on the outside..also yep, its definitely time to build that loft already lol and maybe an air compressor shed attached on the side/back to free up more room
The company that makes the tint has an install video that tells you to install it on the inside. It’s mirrored on both sides. I tried it the other way. Same thing.
I was coming to the comments to say this exact thing lol. DEFINITELY on the wrong side.
Also if you watch till the daylight portion you’ll see it’s mirrored on the outside when there’s more light out there than inside.
@@ALWhiteAuthor it’s not though.
@@Taylordrifts put some screws to secure the corrugated plastic in the awning cause trust me those will blow out 1st storm otherwise
The best part of watching Taylor ray is when I inevitably get to busy in life and don’t stay up to date…. I come back and everything is perfectly organized in playlists. God bless playlists
Loft is going to free up so much space; can’t wait for you to be able to finish that project up.
I was also thinking they could utilize high wall space above the packouts, with some true pallet racks. My work uses them in our receiving area where we had the bottom 7' tall so you could have work space on the floor but all that storage up the wall and not wasting space. It could be easy tire/wheel/bumper storage, stuff that may not move that much but you don't want to get rid of.
Thanks for always bringing us along and allowing us to feel so involved. It's been amazing watching you grow over the years. It's so satisfying seeing your growth my man! Keep it up!
Like someone stated, the tint needs to be on the outside. Tint on the inside traps heat in the actual glass and can damage it over the long term, you have to talk to the glass manufacturer about if you are able to do tint or not on them. Plus that mirror tint needs to be on the outside too to create the mirror effect
Hey maybe try the tint on the outside? Might get the look you want :) Love the videos man
Nope lol
That was my first thought, but I think it really only works well when it's bright on both sides of the film possibly, otherwise you don't have the reflection. Other option is have an actual tint company come in with some high grade security tint film and no worries after that!
@@maz_mtb3266 it works when its dark inside
Might be a good idea to make a shelf under the welding table
Edit: also might be a good idea to get ahold of that nut & bolt company that cleetus uses
Can’t tell if I enjoy seeing the shop being build more or the cars. It’s turning out brilliant. Could build a walled lean-to out the back and use it for part storage. Having the main shop for tools and vehicles only. Loft should definitely have sim rig + hangout
Looking good Taylor…..both the car and shop…….Kudos…….👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I'm glad I'm not the only one who enjoys the functionality obsessive organizing provides.
I love that you say "we" I know you have Josue. But dude it's all you and you make us feel involved just because "we" watch your video's. YOU ARE THE BEST AUTOMOTIVE UA-camR!!!!! Period
Taylor if it was me I would put the shelf racks on wheels. Time to build your loft, do it so you can put a lift up to it run off a winch.
Also a time to build a lean to on the back of the shop.
Idea for the fab table, Mount Plate / board the bottom frame and put the welders and associated stuff in there and can wheel it around as 1 unit.
Whatever works for you, but that shelf space under the table is a must use.
On the window tint, if you light the outside, it will work better at night.. It needs the light to bounce off it to work. (Like in movies with line-up, identity parade thing, witness in dark can see through.)
Was thinking the same, putting a shelf on the bottom would solve issue of stuff being stuck underneath
this, even metal wire shelving material will allow stacking stuff with no worry of welding sparks getting under there and causing fires later
I am here for ALL the builds!! Love the shop, the loft will be the icing on the cake.
I attended Chelsea's class in person yesterday and met Ben in person, was a pleasant surprise, such a rad dude! Got his autograph too haha
The most important benefit to a clean and organized work area is Safety... eliminating, trips, slips, falls, fires, etc...
Just dropping in to leave a positive comment and not some know-it-all BS. So satisfying seeing everything cleaned up.
I live vicariously through your shop 😍
It’s amazing how fast a shop fills up.
I think you should start building the loft entering the off season now. The more time you have the better the loft area will come out.
That was my plan. I just need to come up with a good game plan on how to build it. I wish I had another shop when I built this one so I didn’t have to rush to get it operational. Would have been easier to do everything at the start. But I needed a place to work.
@@Taylordrifts as an apprentice carpenter over in the Uk, I’d recommend either think wooden beam or preferably metal beam going across the building (and if you attach this to multiple uprights it should hold). Then build off of that back beam to the back wall using wood or metal (depending on prices). Or the other option is big metal beam with support beam going to the trusses in the ceiling. Or traditional supports going to the ground.
once again as someone with OCD watching your organization and attention to detail soothes me :)
Hey Taylor you should add a hush house outside the shop for the air compressor. It will cut out a majority of compressor noise in the shop
You could add extensions on each end of the welding table with wheels at the bottom to where you can lean back and lock your Mobil welders in and have the wheels to support the weight when docked on the table. Making the entire thing easy to move with the option to grab one welder easily for other use.
Vertical storage is often overlooked. Contractor pointed out how much floor space we were wasting with piles of junk. We added 48” pallet racks to the sides of our new shop and the back wall of older shop. Huge difference in how we operate.
Looking forward to the 86...
I like to be organized so all my work is organized, it makes things so much easier and quicker. Good stuff Taylor🤘🏻
I love those Lowes racks... I think I have about 4 of them in my basement holding all of my car parts. VERY strong. I also put a 3/4" thick piece of plywood over the fencing and I have full engines sitting on that thing. :)
My OCD thanks you lol Loft is a must for sure I'd say. Then you can really organize everything you have and make room for all the new stuff you'll get..
I can only imagine having a shop like this mann
I like every project you do cause you are very knowledgeable and mess up and learn just like most of us. The "jibber jabber" is informative. Keep up the videos!!
Had the same issue with shelving unit. Welded piece of stainless angle on bottom threaded it and attached casters, works great, just roll it out of the way.
Taylor this video hit the heart man working on finishing up my 4x6x3ft rollable work bench with built in table saw and foldable hidden miter saw and built in router for my wood working buisness this video helped me finish it
Watching you organize and listening to you talk about your plans is relaxing.
Taylor love your work and enthusiasm. Miss a video once in a while but always great.
Couple of recommendations. Those Milwaukee storage things are good for residential use but they don't appear scale well for fabrication shops given the amount of wall space they consume. You really need industrial storage cabinets. Lista is the usual pick but they are pretty pricey. A couple of my friends use a cheaper brand made in the USA called "Stor-Loc" Cabinets. For example all your medium and small stuff like hardware, electrical harness supplies, etc, go in their modular drawer systems and the upper sections you use their large heavy duty shelving above (or wall mounted wire shelving on a budget). In the shelving you can use clear plastic bins because they significantly reduce time to find things and you don't have to label them since they are clear. If you go all in with this concept you could ditch your tool boxes all together and design custom tool storage cabinets. I would probably keep one tool box on wheels for your trailer.
If you are on an extreme budget I have used a brand of cabinets up here in the Midwest at Menards stores. They are called "Klearvue" cabinets. They have a separate category for garages. They have diamond plate finishes on the cabinet and drawer fronts. I have been using them for at least 8 years without issues. The overhead cabinets are pretty nice because they are deeper than standard 12" cabinets. If you use their "Ucreate" app you can select the cabinetry garage section. That is where you can essentially build the whole thing, buy it, have it delivered or pickup.
For small hardware stuff (on an extreme budget) I like using plastic organizers from Flambeau Plastics. They are called "IDS" cabinets. Its a hybrid between mobile and stationary storage. All the dividers are adjustable, really sweet product. I highly recommend you consider using these. So easy to organize all your hardware, etc.
Love the shop update, but you need a mezzanine or really badass loft! Perm Peak (another UA-camr) just installed a mezzanine in his bike shop and it's exactly what Taylor needs!
This is what I need to do tonight. Consider me motivated!
Just wanted to tell you thanks you for the videos man, I look forward to watching you’re videos every time they’re released. Keep killing it bro.💪🏾
And I just wanted to tell you thanks for watching them! I know it’s cliche. But without that. I couldn’t do them. So thank you!
@@Taylordrifts and I just want to say thank you for saying thank you.
Love these shop updates! Organizing and efficiently using your space to the full potential is so satisfying.
Just a thought or three:
I put casters on my 20 ton press. Works great!
Maybe having the oil drain, tranny jack, support, dollies, etc live in a space closer to where they will be deployed - less travel distance? I have suggested a Drill press but, perhaps a Mag Drill would be more suitable? There is a newer metal saw that has a better functioning miter now - maybe time for an upgrade or dedicate the older saw to a spot adjacent to your material rack.
Addressing the building volume: With the high walls, high shelving and a compact warehouse pallet lift would be a safe alternative for longer term storage access and, be able to load the new loft area. Sometimes a framed 4ft low platform, with storage under works well...
Is a porch in the works? No step. Make sure you can easily roll stuff through the man-door when needed by minimizing transition at the threshold.
Is there a motorized door(s) in the future?
Ikea makes a nifty black out shade for the inside of those pesky windows. Or, plywood for a tool wall?
Good times!
That place is already a dream garage for many of us keep up the good work Taylor you have come so far from a 2 car garage that you shared with roommates
Taylor what really liked in my Garage was a huge peg board. I would always hang things that I seldom used but I knew that I could look up and see it physically. Like for instance saw blades, brushes, battery charging stations , measuring tape & square’s, spools of hoses & tubing, spools of wire. Just so I could use space on a wall. Just food for thought. Like your channel !
Was hoping this video was going to be the loft build for the shop! Looking forward to that in the future.
Shop videos are the best 🤙 We all get the bug to clean out and upgrade our garages after watching haha
It’s also so helpful to add a lever to the press release valve!
Love the shop project videos just as much as the car project videos! Thanks for sharing Taylor.
I would have put the tire changer and air compressor in the sea box out back out of the way and 0 compressor noise but the shop has came a long ways, that insulation and AC was a game changer
As much as you love organizing, you really need to look at LevRack. I love it in my garage. Now I can fit MORE projects!
I think the shop build stuff is great because it’s an “obtainable” shop and therefor it resonates with a lot of us who are somewhere between working in the grass and have a shop with two lifts 👍🏻
With regards to the loft, I would build it as far forward to the lifts as possible. I know it will take away from the openness of the shop but having a second level with as much floor space as possible would really free up soo much storage and get alot of stuff up and out of the way.
Did you put the tint on backwards???
i thought the same thing lol
No I thought I did at first so I flipped it and it’s the same either direction and only one side is sticky. Lol
Came to ask the same question I feel like the mirrored service should of faced out not in
Tint is definitely on the wrong way, should be on the windows outside so that the chrome reflects. Meant to be able to see out, not in
@@terryottwell6380 if you wait till further in the video. You’ll see it’s on the outside as well.
There is just something about checking thing off a long list that is satisfying
If you turn the shelf perpendicular to the door, you can still use the door in an emergency and have access to both sides of the shelf. Plus you could add another shelf next to it later!
Taylor, I have a solution that I've seen/used before for concentrated storage that will help (likely in the container)...
Make sure the floor is level!
Buy a bunch (4 or 5, at least) of the wire 'NSF' shelf units (the ones with the round uprights) and get the casters for them.
Put them in the container 90⁰ from the normal way, and tight next to each other.
They work like "vertical drawers", and you can just roll out the unit you need, then roll it back in when you're done.
For non day to day use, makes a lot more use of space!
i'll tell you what, when you originally ended up deciding on tearing the old shop down and building the new one i can't tell you how excited i was for you to eventually build the loft. Of course the rest of the shop is awesome especially having 2 lifts, and open area, and a/c....but man i am here and ready for the day the loft gets built!
I really need to go through my shop and organize. I need a loft too. Really like watching what you do with your shop.
If I should come up with some ideas I would buy 1 more Metal racks.
One I would place where the packout is.The one you already have I would place so that sits to the left of the small gate & both would be fastend to the floor(+wall ?).
Buy then some drawer Slides that would make it possible to acces to the full depth.
we are here
Put some heavy duty castors on the shelf blocking the door. Just weld some plates to the feet and bolt them on. Then you can move it from infront of the door
You would be amazed at how much better those shelves will work with some 5/8 inch plywood instead of that expended wire. You can load and unload things so much smoother.
I recommend either building a waterproof enclosure outside the shop for your PC (with cross flow airflow) or building something that’s passively cooled with absolutely no fans (including on the GPU). Not only is it gonna get super dirty, super fast, but like 90% of the dust you make is either carbon fiber or some other metallic, conductive material. A little bit of steel or CF dust behind the mobo is enough to short stuff out.
Also look into building a NAS for your security cameras and random files you don’t want cluttering up your PC😊
One thought for the welding table is a welding rod cap holder so when you have one of the rod tunes opened being used the cap can be put out of the way. But maybe that's my ocd where everything needs a place lol, love these shop videos, helps me think of ways for my shop
Man yer shop has turned out absolutely incredible- all the best to ya man, wow!!
Love the additions
For future reference, if you ever need more storage shelving, sams club carrys those shelves for $200 with a 10,000lb capacity, and usually when they are on sale they are $160
I'd love to see you get a car front half cut with doors and windows and see you make a rear wall so it's like an enclosed vehicle for your sim rig. That'll help keep all the equipment clean when you're working in the shop, and also provide a cockpit for you. You could make the power windows works and some other items to make it a fun experience. Would be sick, especially if you plan to have friends use it.
I'd build a 6-10 ft concrete slab for a porch all the around the building, left side build an enclosed lean too for extra storage on the side and rear and a porch with lean to roof on the side facing your house for a nice porch., it'll reduce the light too
For the windows on the outside get a light above the windows because during night time light wants to escape and if you get ones on the outside the tint will be working how you want it to
Hey you should get the same mezzanine that berm peak got it’s a free standing one so you don’t have to tie in to your shop and can move it if you don’t like it
Shop looks amazing!!! Love to hear your thought process in all the organization. Keep up the hard work, it is really paying off!
I'm excited to see the loft project
Thank you for showing us how you did this, and why you did this. Its always a refreshing feeling to have a clean workspace!
Shops looking good
This is one of my favorite things doing watching the shop updates, watching you go from building the building to the insulation and slowly adding the tools and getting things looking right and it's awesome!
Maybe be on the look out for shops closing or shelves like Home Depot has cause your ceiling are high and you have a lot wall space up. I love “Mighty Car Mods” new shop in how they use there space.
you should back the bolts out for the overhang and put some silicone around them so it 100 watertight
You have a lot of roof space left, build a platform in one of the back corners, gaming rig, this gets stuff off the ground, but also give you the original storage below
Great video Taylor.
id make the balcony up top a main priority so u would have even more storage and winter is your most down time
enjoy your vidioes one suggestion is to put your air compressor outside in the container or other shed it will free up space and cut down noise
Tint is backwards I believe. Love your videos man!
that garage needs a huge loft. but i am peanut butter and jealous of your shop
Love the garage vids, can’t wait for the loft to b built out. 😊
Most efficient personal shop I’ve seen W
Car Wizard is a dweeb but he has some really good thoughts. He uses rolling shelves to take parts from a specific project and that rolling shelf stays with that project until it's done. I've seen this same practice in general custom equipment manufacturing, it works well. It can even be a way to keep up on the progress, empty shelves equals finishing the project. Can fill shelf specifically from bottom up so stuff goes back on top down. Just a thought.
The film reflects a certain amount of light, if there is more light inside than outside (night) it will seem transparent at night. You should put hurricane blinds on the outside, good for security and direct sunlight.
What a transformation. Can't wait to see the shop with the loft. It'll be a car guy heaven!
I work for a company that sells and installs pallet racking. We have a used inventory as well. I know it might be a little more than what you think you need. However, you have a lot of upper wall space, and you said you needed floor space. We have inventory up to 27ft tall and some up to 4ft deep (just off the top of my head). Prestige Sales Company. Chattanooga, TN. Matthew Byrum 👍
You could fabricate a plate and heavy duty castors for the rack in front of the door so if needed to move in the future.
To me it looks like the tint is inside out. Shop is looking good!
Can we please get Taylor to 1m subs please he so deserves it. Taylor love the vids have always loved them been around for a while
you should get a small laser cutting table for custom fab projects, just a suggestion
Just a suggestion but try putting the same tint on the outside so the "mirror" is facing outside or flip the tint around to see if it makes a difference maybe?
^^^ i think that one way tint shouldve been applied to the outside of the window.. should be tinted looking out, and mirror looking in.
yep thats how it was supposed to be...thats why you cant see outside but can see in easy, he put it on backwards lol
I did. I flipped it on the first one assuming it was wrong. And it was the same. It’s the same looking either way. But only sticky on one side.
@@Shadow0fd3ath24 also if you watch further you’ll see in daylight it’s correct.
@@dylanpavalok2780 not according to the people who made the tints own instructional video.
I know your limited for floor space but you should look into getting actual pallet racking thats close to your ceiling height. if you leave the bottom open you can keep the layout the same, but have storage above and hang a light off the bottom of the shelf for any dark spots. you spent $300 on a small shelf when you could have invested that into solving the issue long term vs a short term solution.
Block the door with the rolling tool box then move the box when you need the door or when you need to use it for tires.
Hey Taylor I’m sure you know but DOF has released a monitor mount for their motion platforms now. When you order it consider adding the new SFU gear boxes too as will help with the extra weight and greatly improves the performance overall.
you could add a piece of sheet metal under the fab table, so u can put stuff under and still roll it.
LED Strip from amazon ($30) around the outside of the windows and use white light at night. Basically whichever side has more light will be the "direction" of the mirrored film.
Put the SIM rig in that storage container you got behind the shed! Add outlets and lights to it too!
thanks for letting us peons live vicariously through your channel bro... gotta say though... just pull the trigger on the mezzanine... would be a great place for the sim too... and shelf storage... just saying. love the content. good stuff brah.
