Something I noticed you could use in your shop that I have in mine, a retractable extension cord. I have 3 in my shop, one hanging from the ceiling in the middle of the floor plan, and 1 near the door ways where you have your air hose. I love them because I can run anywhere from 1' to 50' of cord and not have all the extra cord laying around on the floor causing a tripping hazard, and they are easy to roll back up by just pulling down a little bit and letting them retract into the housing. Lowes has them for round about 40-50 dollars.
Smart! mrsw
I also have a 50' air hose on a retracting reel overhead just inside the main door to the shop. So handy for airing up tires and blowing out tractor radiators and such right outside the shop or basically within 50' of the door without making a mess in the shop and having to deal with the hose.. Just a tug and it reels right up completely out of the way..
GOOD IDEA, I HAVE TWO IN MY SHOP THAT I GOT AT THE DEPOT.
the only time I go back to a non retractable air hose is when it fails and I pull it apart haha, they are a great thing if you find a quality built one. I have 3 reels, one for air, one for 240v power extension lead(yes I'm one of those aussie blokes :D) and one for a water line for running pressure washers and washing things with out having to deal with hose everywhere. cheers.
I found the best reel that I could find but it came with a cheap chinese hose on it that failed pretty quickly and I replaced it with good hose. Kinda the way it goes these days I guess.
Long time watcher of Wranglerstar here.. since the Off-grid project.. I finally got around to reading your book this week and have a new-found respect for every word that comes out of your mouth now Cody. I just watched this episode like a kid who is eager to learn and with due respect to all of your knowledge and expertise. Love you guys, keep it up. -Tim
Thank you Tim,
I love hearing about granddads tools and the things he taught you. One of mine lived a state away and died when I was eight, the other lived in town here and I learned so much, yet so little from him - he passed when I was in High school. I thought he would be around forever.
Thanks Cody!
Both my grandfather's died, by time I was 5.
Hello Cody. I have a homestead that we run a cow share dairy from. I can identify with your frustration on a large homestead. When I am disorganized , it is exhausting running all over the property to acquire what is needed to finish a task. Your ideas are very helpful. Thank you.
Important to note: shops this well equipped (duplicates of multiple tools) can literally take years for the common man to develop. And that's ok!
Years and years and years. If you think about it a lot of Wranglerstars inventory is inherited, "granpops old..." it's beyond decades of tool acquisition, it's generations at that point and some of us just don't have that legacy to receive from our progenitors.
People may not have the duplicates nor the space.
I suggest making checklists of the things you need starting with the more common tasks for you, so that you can go in order/sequence and pick and place things in the tool box, that way you will not forget things!
Tools are a wise investment of youth. I started with bicycle tools, then put those in my car. I always had tools in the home. When I retired from the Navy and went into manufacturing, I used what I had and budgeted $25 per pay check for tool shopping. My third employer announced that in order to compete they were going metric and assemblers like me had to buy metric tools, so I bought a big roll-around tool box. They later had a slow down, I got laid off and had to store my roll-around, and buy tools to keep in my car. I wish I had a garage and a shop. Oh well end rant.
I will add this thought as well. I was in a situation where nothing came down to me from a father, etc. so I have built from scratch. As Cody has mentioned often, yard sales are such a great resource. Probably half of my tools are from yard sale finds at really cheap prices. This can really help building your collection quicker rather than buying it all new.
I started at 16 for Christmas asking for craftsman tools. I'm 45. it takes a while to get where you have a well equipped shop with good quality tools. I'm about there now.
Was always a fan of snap on. Working in a junkyard I wasn't making much money but saw the value in buying the right stuff the first time. 20 years later I still have and use them. Really nice collection!
Please shoot more videos like this. I need help building my homestead :)
THanks
Part 3 please
Love these type of videos they help us to realize the importance of prepping a shop to ones needs and gives great insight on how little space you really need to be efficient. Keep up the great work love your videos
Yes please continue with the shop tour
Never can have too many organization videos. Many great ideas.
Cody. Keep going on this topic. Would like to see the rest of the big shop and the animal barn you modified and a candid look at the woodworkning shop before you clean up knowing we are coming in with you. maybe I won't feel so bad being messy.
John J. Baranski - yes, ME too!
One thing I did see not really a tool, but the mat to stand on by your vise. Man those are wonderful in places that you stand for long periods of time.
You are extremely blessed with tools and space.
When I worked on aircraft in the Navy I was handed a green tool bag. It was difficult to inventory after a job or during a launch. One day my division officer returned from a mission and handed me a socket. Well, the Navy took a hint from the Air Force and adopted a Tool Control Program. I requested to work in the squadron tool room as a special project so the tool program could be put in place. We built all tool boxes and troubleshooter pouches on the concept of a 5-second inventory. Open a tool box, look and in 5 seconds you knew if a tool was missing. Pilots and flight crews were happy. A troubleshooter pouch had the tools you needed 80% of the time for maintenance and launching, the portable tool boxes held tools for ground maintenance and a bigger shop box held tools needed occasionally. Large test equipment was kept in the squadron tool room. Later in my career I worked in physical/mechanical calibration lab testing and adjusting torque tools (to 1,000PF), pressure gages (to 10,000psi) and cable tensiometers. I love your homestead videos, your kind manner and your family.
A great idea I was taught was to put outlets all over your shop above your head by workbenches along the wall and middle of the shop hanging down. A little bit of chain and you can add or subtract lights for working as you need them around the shop.
IDEA: Make 6" riser-shelves " for your top tool boxes so you have a work/storage space just below the top toolbox. You will not need to move things out of the way to open the drawers. Like where your gloves were in front of the Kennedy mechanic's box... Raise it up 6 inches and now you have a place for those gloves or to just to set down the tools or parts you are actively using.
After this video, I finally realized why I enjoy your channel... its your passion for sharing what others have shared with you! My background is in restaurants and music. I have a passion for learning and enjoy your content because of your approach! But perhaps even more than my own education, I enjoy learning from your experiences so that I may share even more information with others. Being a teacher, mentor or a coach are all professions that I admire. Mainly because they all require the sharing of information with those that have none. Please continue sharing your experiences and what you have gained in knowledge from your life! I promise you I will do the same! Regards...
I got a idea to add to your setup ,, a retractable electric cord located by the overhead door and a tower shelf with power drill , jigsaw , saw zaw , sander , corded impact gun .
then during fabrication you can go outside quickly and it keeps the mess and dirt and dust outside.
Excellent video I learned alot.
“Impact tools” - I LOVE my air/impact tools!!! I use them ALL the time (even being retired!). Please discuss them more!
I am trying to organize my basement work area after using it for 25 years with everything a mess. Enjoyed hearing how you organize the shop. Interesting to hear the personal comments about the family. I think about my father, father in law and brother when I look at their tools I have. I picked up some helpful ideas for organizing my tools and work area.Thanks so much. John Hoover Leawood, Kansas
I'm liking these shop tour videos. I'd like to see the entire shop (even storage area) and a review of the air system.
Same
Ditto!
I am an L1 ASE Master tech. The 3/8 impact is my favorite tool. And snap on rebuilds them for $100 dollars flat rate after the 2 year warranty. Also they make 1/4 body 3/8 drive air ratchet that is more usefull because its way smaller.
I have a new garage and love your shop and tool video. I always pick up on a few things.
Hahah. "Angle of the dangle."
I just inherited my Father in Law's, garage full of tools. My little shop is so full, I can hardly move in it. It'll take me a while to sort and sell the ones I don't need, but oh the memories as I do...
Kris Gasteiger that was very nice of him to leave those to you. I'm sure he had found memories with some of those tools.
Can I say it? Yes, I miss my Father and Mother in law. They accepted me into their family as a son. The memories are sharp and fresh. Thankfully, I still have the presence, and love of their beautiful daughter. Don't tell her I posted this, she'd be embarrassed, and probably punch me in the arm or some junk!
I gotta be honest, your vids are kinda calming. It's nice to watch, even even through i have no need to watch something about organizing...
Inspirational. Thank you!
Been a tool guy & DIY all my life, but organizing the years of accumulated tools has been a weak link. Hoping this video (as used by Father) will motivate me!
The timing for this video couldn't be better. I just finished building my shop and I'm in the process of moving in/ laying things out.
love the shop, wish I had a nice barn like that
Yes please do more videos like this.
I enjoy being organized and welcome your input.
Always enjoy your organizing videos Cody. They're a good reminder for me to tidy up my garage.
If you have a big shop, consider putting a ceiling over the main workbench area. It'll give you a place to mount brighter lighting. It'll give you a loft to store seldom-used stuff( and the big air compressor). And you might want to pull a curtain or temporary wall divider around it to heat it, or shield it from dust.
a lot of thought went into setting up your shop and it shows.
HI - I'm a retired Air Force mechanic. I love to see how others set up their shop(s). You never stop learning. Great audio =)
Watching the metric and imperial sets of wrenches and waiting for the Metric dig.... "...Imperial side, the superior side..." Yep, there it is! Always good for a smile. Keep up the great videos, Cody. Dedicated Canuck watcher here.
Its funny that you made these videos this week. Wednesday night after work i started to clean up my shop and reorganize all my tools. I went it my shop to find a tool and spent 20 minuets trying to find it and said enough is enough i have to clean up this shop so i can find things when i need them.
I agree organization saves time
Your Polly upgrade works great. So much lighter. TkEZ»UK.xx
The snap on truck in my area uses the female air quick couplers welded to a strip to hang the air tools.. works very well. Might work on that cart
Oh yes always like this type of video Cody the more the better. Placement of tools always rings a bell with anybody, Thank you Cody !
I'm a huge proponent of organization, great job Cody!
Good for making time to think things through at home- plus some good ideas. Thanks.
some good ideas I must try to get my tools sorted as you said you can spend more time looking for a tool than the job
Get the Snap-on WOBBLE + which not only wobbles, but the second push makes it solid. They are sometimes on sale.
its super easy to do this when you have more shop space than you need, try doing it the other way round and youll soon find yourself with a more worthwhile video, in a crowded one all the stuff you mentioned in your videos would fit in just your first corner and one workbench with a vice.
Man it’s wild to watch this video 7 years later and not see an ounce of denim!! My how the ProHo uniform has changed!
I'd recommend a slab of concrete outside the main door. Nothing major. Just the width of the door and 10-12' long. It helps keep some of the mud out of the shop. It also helps getting equipment/vehicles in. In bad weather
I just built a new garage in my back yard and am looking for ideas on how to arrange things. thanks for your ideas.
Keep going! Keep going around the shop and show what you keep in the yellow rolling box too!
This gave me a lot of good ldeas thank you keep doing what you are doing god bless
Wranglerstar really like these videos I learn new things I can do to my shop love hearing from the experience you have so I can adopt them as my own
Make your own roll a round tool cart guys. Easy to do and cheaper and last forever and fun.
I really like how apparently you painted your peg board with chalkboard paint and can have it flexible in labeling that way. You could also outline your tools but change it later if need be. Brilliant!
I love these type of videos. I'm a little o.c.d. and am very organized in my shop. I totally noticed when you didn't put your socket back in its place on the cart. ha ha. Like the staging table also.
Love these types of videos. Wish you would show your air compressor setup, plumbing, and water removal setup.
glenn anderson - me too on THIS one too!
i would recommend the long 3/8 flex head ratchet i use to hate them but now its my go to
I appreciate your organization technique very much Cody👍 MY FAVORITE CHANNEL BECAUSE OF YOUR FAMILY VALUES AND FAITH HAVE ENCOURAGED ME VERY WELL! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TODAY MR. & Mrs. WRANGLERSTAR ⭐️👍☝️👏🏡😍
Thank you Mae
Cody, I suggest you have a look at the farmers' crates. I do not hwo they look in the US, but over here, they are kinda large, taking 50lbs of produce. So they are big enough that loggers use them for their kit. there is room for a medium chainsaw and all the gear. (obviously one needs to open a hole for the chainsaw bar, but they are not structurally weakened)
Oh, and snap-on still makes a wonderful box I love mine use it all day everyday.
Cody , your a lucky man , wife, kid, land and plenty of tools and equipment. Im a little jealous of the large shop and dedicated wood shop too but know the work you put into it all ! What id like your opinion on is how to organise a smaller shop ! Yours is what 40 x 60 was it ? Mine is more like 10 x 20 ish. Its basically a car garrage that widens at the back. I always seem to need more space. Shelves or cupboards ? Ideas to maximise space in a small shop would be great ! In my climate i need my tools protected in cupboard though or they rust as the air is not dry.
Cody...you're the best! Great video. Yup, I cringe when I sometimes walk by my barn when it's all locked up and hear the air compressor start...UHGG I had forgotten to unplug it after the last use.
Great pointers for organizing the shop. Thanks
You need a dust collector you can angle a pipe or something outside to aim the wood chips and debris into a trash can and it's pretty compact (the hose)
I like this style of video. The pacing is also great. Doesnt feel like your rushing through any of it, nor does it seem like you are taking to long.
Superior side!
You made it your own. Now you own it, subject to change and improvement.
I really enjoy these type videos! I try to take some of these ideas to the shop that I work at to make life easier.
I've been watching for some time and just felt compelled to mention; there are very few people i can stand to hear repeat themselves & you are one of them. I think I could go to your house or shop and if asked, could go get just about any tool you asked for. I've always been a strong fan of organization but didn't realize it could be nice to watch or listen to. Keep on influencing the world CW.
I find that 5s/ labeling spaces goes a long way towards ensuring things get home. Enjoyed this video. Nicely done,
I prefer working out of a toolbox with organized tools inside so you are not hunting for the 3/8" drive deep dish 6 point 1/2" socket or point 10mm hardened 1/2" drive.. but use a toolcart as you actively work to hold your removable, organized tool trays that go in you tool box/rollaway.
Thanks for the 2 part video, I’m trying to organize my shop and be more efficient, I really enjoyed this thanks
Thank you for taking the time to make your videos and help many people who didn’t have a grandpa and dad that made them hold the flashlight the entirety of their childhood! I can attest to the tool cart handiness; toolbox is great for large, specialty, not often used tools particularly handy in a designated mechanics area like in the lift bay in our shop
Lateral file cabinets make excellent tool storage and can be had for pennies on the dollar if you look on Craigslist.
Drawers are where tools go to die . Or so I've heard .
Great video as always! I wish It was cool enough here in Missouri today to wear a flannel shirt! Have a blessed day Cody!
Great video. Full of great ideas and tips that I didn’t think about. I just finished building and I have an overall idea of how i want it to be organized but was struggling w/ details. Whether you’re just starting or have years of accumulating tools over multiple crafts I think these videos are helpful.
To add to my last comment, having tool carts are a must. One thing to add. If you’re investing in a shop compressor invest in a couple retractable hose reels and extension cords. Quick, easy access.. there when you need it, out of the way when you don’t. off the ground keeping them from getting damaged or pinched. I have mine set up on opposite sides so that I don’t have to stretch hose/cords across vehicles/equipment. no more tripping over them or maneuvering tool carts around them
I really enjoy the shop video's , I started watching when you were rebuilding the wood shop and was very interested in that. I am in the progress of organizing and building up my garage shop and I am always looking for good ideas on how to do things. Thanks for sharing your ideas
Put a down payment on my shop the other day. Watching this is getting me fired up! I would love a tour of your shop, junk and all. Your shop is how I found your channel years ago. When you were lifting the sagging poles after you bought you place.
Loved the video. You have a Serious shop there and some great tools. Only thing im different on is Ive went to all cordless tools for impacts. Great organization. Ive been working on getting my shop ‘ organized’ after 5 years and many tries. Good advice.
......"as I age"..... how true.... I'm in my 40's now, and I am trending towards this thinking myself, and it is slowly starting to bear fruit. Good word, sir.
Good stuff. I do a lot of similar things in a smaller shop. Envious of the large shop!
I'm terrible about being organized, I would like to see more videos in regards to this in the hopes that maybe some of it finds it's way into my life. Granted, it would help if I could actually settle into one location for more than a year..
Hmmm moving a lot is actually a great way to get and stay organized, you just need to find the right storage options that will let you keep your stuff together 'thematically' and would move as one unit when you do. I am sure that if you go through your tools and index what you have and organize it logically for yourself. You can then go to a DIY or tool store to find one or two smaller trollies that can be easily lifted by two people, and would hold your tool by theme (say one for power tools, one for hand tools). Also visit the 'dollar store' (or equivalent) as they tend to have these plastic boxes that seal well and have all these sections in them, those are great for say nails and screws. Or other types of odd and ends that benefit from having their separate section, but would also like to stick together (i have all my Dremel bobs and bits, odds and ends in one of them, works marvelous)
Heck, and if you move that often, i would probably have a bucket or a smaller lightweight tool thing, with specific 'moving tools', a putty knife with putty, phillips and regular screw driver, ductape, a hammer with nail puller, stanley knife. (basically see what you use the next time you move, and keep that separate (or buy it double). That way you can keep your moving stuff separate when you move all your actual tools, and access them without having your tools already out and about. As one of the annoying things of moving is already having packed something you need, or not yet unpacked it.
I have also seen people using wooded boxes to move their books, and use the boxes on their sides stacked to make a bookcase. There are also these cloth (with metal frame) clothing racks or 'closets' with wheels and all to keep clothing mobile and easy to move. So yeah, next time you are about to move, maybe organize your stuff well in advance, then take the time to shop around for sensible storage options to keep these things in, which are also easy to move. Instead of going for the card board box solution...
If you think that U.S. vs. metric sizing is bad in your tools, you should take a gander at crochet hooks. We fiber crafters have a choice of SIX sizing systems. There is metric, where at least you know what you're getting. The other systems depend on what the hook is made of, and where it was made. Steel hooks, the kind your grandma used to make doilies, are the small ones. U.S sizing goes from 00 (the largest) to 14 (the smallest). English sizing goes from 0 to 7, with half-sizes in between. Aluminum hooks can be lettered OR numbered in the U.S. system, B or 1 to S, smallest to largest. In the English system, the smallest aluminum hook is 14, and the largest is 2. So, if a pattern calls for a number 5 hook, you have a choice of five different sizes.
Love your videos man! Try and in-line blow gun at the end of your hose. I have a cabinet shop and all our fittings have them. I'd suggest a shut off valve there just in case your line does blow... Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.
I have that same air hose. Best $25 I've ever spent for my garage.
I definitely enjoy these videos.
I love seeing how other ppl organize their tools
Jack has a nice setup for his inheritance.
Jack
Really like those new polycarbonate panels they do light up your shop,
i recently got the DeWalt 1/2in 20volt impact. that thing is awesome
Hey Cody, nice job. You should check out the book "The Lean Farm" by Ben Hartman. He really gets into setting up your workflows and keeping in mind that others, like Brian, will be working on the homestead.
I like the organization aspect. My problem is keeping it that way. I find it a MUST to put stuff back into place when I get done with that project. Otherwise it just keeps piling up. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
Re-organizing my garage shop, this is a nice boost of inspiration sir, especially that chainsaw section
I like to take some nails and drive them half way into a piece of wood at about 45 degrees and cut the heads off to make a holder for my air fittings. So I can grab the one I need quickly off the wall with out searching a bin.
“Air Station” - GREAT idea! I have a 50’ retractable hose at mine! Very handy!
Can't tell, but i would change the lights over your metal fab table to LED bulbs/ tubes. Best thing i ever did in my shop/ garage
Thanks for all the tips. I am going to utilize most of these tips. Good luck with the repairs of the shop and I am looking forward to the updates on that. Thanks again.
Great pro-tips. Thanks, Wranglerstar!
Thank you so much for acknowledging that we have different needs in our shops than YOU do! For example, I live in Florida, diagonally across the continental United States from you! THAT, plus the difference in our ages, our interests, and (probably, many other factors) hold my attention when perhaps others have “moved on”!
