  • When running a small shop, storing tools, parts and equipment can be a challenge. While I made it work, it was not easy at times. This video gives some insight into how I made it work for me. Maybe it helps in setting up your small shop.
    It has been a bit since I uploaded a new video. There are a couple reasons for that. Reason one as noted in the title, I'm moving. It's been a while since I've had to pack up and move my shop. I have A LOT to move. The second reason, my Dad was recently hospitalized and passed away this last week. It's been a challenging month for me and my family. I filmed this video one day before my Dad's passing. He always watched my videos and had asked that I do a shop tour. He loved looking at all the tools in my shop. He always said it looked like a machine shop. This video is for him. He was a Great Man, My Best Friend and My Father. He will be missed.

    Belated condolences on the passing of your dad. I have a Home Lite Super XL 16” that was my father’s. Haven’t tried to start it in a few years, so I’m going to have to watch your video on the Super XL. Hope the move went well!

      I appreciate that, thank you. I'm still trying to get settled and get my shop in order, but I'm getting there. The Super XL is one of my all time favorite saws, you'll love it. You can do darn near anything with them. They are loud, but that is one of the things I like about them. To me they just sound awesome. Thanks for stopping by!

    You've got it laid out really well.

    (...because....just because...) Hell , you understand....look at all the tools you have!

      Thanks! It's amazing what you accumulate over the years. Tight quarters, but I got a lot done in that shop. It's been a crazy month for me with the move and my Dad's passing. I'll have to jump over to your channel and see what you've been up to.

    I like seeing all the harbor freight stuff. It’s nice to see your not a tool snob.

    • @EightWheelsRollin
      @EightWheelsRollin  4 місяці тому +1

      Ha ha, yeah, definitely not a tool snob. I have my tool preferences, but at the end of the day I really don't care about the name on the tool. If the tool gets work done, it has a place in my shop. All the best!

      @@EightWheelsRollin I will say going through your shop was kinda like a Texas chainsaw massacre movie with the chainsaws and hoists haha.

    tHanks for the video.
    Funny how you said you would never use up all the hardware. People would ask..."then why keep it?" They don't know what it is like to stop what you are doing and drive to the store to buy a nut and bolt.......or else they would never have asked.

    • @EightWheelsRollin
      @EightWheelsRollin  4 місяці тому +1

      Exactly. If you have to stop in the middle of a project and run to a store, maybe two, it takes time out of your day. You definitely get it! All the best!

    Hold the hell up. Is that one drawer system a bunch of electrical service panel enclosures? Absolutely love that haha
    Loved the tour, you got a sub from me sir.

    • @EightWheelsRollin
      @EightWheelsRollin  4 місяці тому

      Ha ha, I didn't think ANYONE would catch that. You did! Some of those drawers are two smaller service panels welded together. Fee metal and a welder and you're in business. Glad you enjoyed the tour, thanks for the sub!

      @EightWheelsRollin haha, I made a vibratory separator for horse manure (we bed with sawdust) out of an old 150amp service panel and some scrap. Love to someone being resourceful! Keep it up man. Good luck during your move. Eager to see more.

    • @EightWheelsRollin

      Thanks, I appreciate it. Use whatcha got! A vibratory separator, that's a good one! I don't know that I would have thought of that.
