Gravydownshirt, I think he does stare lovingly at all those beautiful tools like we all do on occasion, however, I suspect those tools see plenty of work too!
Your shop and tool chest are outstanding. But what (to me) is most laudable is the fact that you devoted time to a project you and your kids could do together. That's something to be really proud of.
Thank you. I agree. Both of my boys are woodworkers. My older son is building his first boat and my younger son just restored a boat last winter. Nothing I've ever done in my life was more important than working with them in my shop
My dad and I have been estranged for 10 years. Not a single word spoken between us since he left. Watching this video made me want to reach out to him and show him this video. It was our dream project to start boat building together. We lived in Maine too so this hits close to home.
In Argetina we have a saying to describe surprise: "I'm with my mouth open!" Very clean, neat, beautiful and peaceful. Excellent music. The furniture of the tools ... impressive ... new compartments never stopped showing one, another and another more ... EXCELLENT !! Buenos Aires.
That shop, tool chest and a beautiful boat are the jewels of a man's dedicated work, passion and love! Thank you for sharing your joy and pride with us.
Ha! I am in the same boat. Suddenly, my hand tools that I once thought priceless seem like things found in the ditch compared to this; why should I build such a nice cabinet for them? No, of course not. I am now inspired.
Now that I think about it, this one is preferable. Studley's is more an art piece, but too much going on and too heavy. Smith's is more practical and beautiful as well.
Dan Smith Why not compare? Lol! I'd pick yours over Studley's. I can actually use yours. Anyway, nice to see a resurgence in craftsman like yourself. Used to be a dying breed because of economics and a host of other reasons, so its inspiring for me and many others.
A beautiful handcrafted useful and awesome cabinet ! Would you consider publishing the source of the hardware and share a tutorial on how to make the cabinet ?
Amazing. To all the trolls--he had Fine Woodworking magazine coming to visit and photograph his shop and tools--of course he would have everything so meticulously clean and looking new! That doesn't mean he doesn't use the tools or shop... Where do you think the boats came from? Sears?
That shop is cleaner and neater than my HOUSE - by FAR! Gorgeous! The tool storage unit itself is an example of "fine woodworking" - built so well and very beautiful... Makes me envious of the skills Mr. Smith possesses!
Mr.Smith this is a fellow Mo. resident, and woodworker since a very early age. I can see the love ,care ,though and work you put in your craft. It is a beautiful thing to see, very talented craftsmanship ,thank you.
Dan, this is a fantastic video. I just left my wood shop, I quit early since it’s family day in Canada. Now I want to go back and work some more after seeing this. Beautiful music too.
Wonderful hanging tool cabinet. I come back frequently to watch and listen again and again. It NEVER gets old. The boat you built with your sons is exquisite! Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a work of art. Bravo. The music is nice by itself but does not belong here. It drowns the voice and is an irritant. Keep it Zen with natural sounds only,
The varnish is Epiphanes high gloss. Nine coats. The red is Interlux Perfection, a two part finish that has held up very well. The boat was completed in 2009
Such a beautiful shop! So inspiring and uplifting to listen to his story! I really enjoy these videos and listening to these amazing craftsmans stories. Thank you! Please make more of these!
I made a box organized like that similarly...not nearly as nice but the organization was there... My employer sent me off with a guy I wanted to work for more...”he was known to pay very well.” I knew my box and I would impress... But alas ! I asked: “so you think maybe I come work for you guys in the future?” He said : “HELL NO!!...look how anal and clean you keep everything, it’s very oblivious that you are crazy as fuck” 😂 I always remember that when I see stuff like this now.
Thanks for your comments. The butt and knife hinges are Brusso, and the outer closure devices are called skylight fasteners from R&W Rope Warehouse. Both companies have online stores. The brass finger pulls can be tricky to find with the right diameter. Some have too small an inner diameter to easily use as a pull. I can't remember where I finally found a size that fit my finger, but they are common in marine hardware stores and Amazon.
Daaaannnnngggg Dan!!! I agree with Max Maker - absolutely gorgeous shop! "Craftsmanship" doesn't come close to describing it!! Something all woodworkers secretly dream of, I should think. I know I do.. Well done. You should be proud. Thanks for the tour!
You got to love guys like this. All the money to buy the best. The skill to make beautiful pieces. And it looks like nothing was every used. In my shop, the planes are worn, handles of the chisels are full of dirt, the saws and handles have dust and wood fibers on them. And my shop while clean, and organized, it looks like a shop not an operating room. LMAO Should add, look at a guy like Diresta. His tools are used and look it. His shop is used and looks it. And while this guys cabinet is just gorgeous give it to me for 6 months and it while be used not just shown and displayed.
After years of indulgence and copious space, my tools are now stashed away under the bed in plastic tool boxes in our new house. It will be a few years before I have a workshop again (we have a 3 year old too). This is tool-store-porn. Nice video Dan S. Thanks.
probably one of the cleanest woodshop i ever seen, does anybody ever work there? the tool chest, state of the art! again, there is not a scratch on any tool! kinda reminds me Frank Klausz new shop, except, I know what Frank is capable... it's nice, a bit too sterile for my taste...
Dream workshop. So I guess you earn your money in another business. I work on new build houses joiners dont buy hand saw much all battery powered. Nail guns all have first and second fix. They dont even have hand tool boxes anymore
I like the tool chest, it is compact enough for me, although I probably need something a bit smaller so it is portable, but this isn't far of. Thanks for the inspiration! How much is the depth? I guess it is around 20 cm, but I am not sure
Damn, just want some short motivation videos to go fully charged in my german basement concrete wall tiny mini harbor craft tool shop. Now i cry and will go under my bed instead . Joke, this is really one hell of a nice shop and on top is this great tool cabinet. could be a piece to get your master in carpentery in germany. i would love to use this great hand tools, especially the western style planes, handsaws and man these so nice looking squares. where can i get those ones, custom made? thank you uploading this inspirering piece of video and craftmans art.
Wow ! Beautiful Shop, Tool Chest ,and Boats all in one i too have been lucky enough to share my love of Woodworkingband Boating with my son beginning with him around the same age as you have mine has grown up to be a pretty darn good Craftsman
Whats with all of the jealous haters and clean shops. If Fine Woodworking says they want to profile my shop, you can bet I am going to do my best to show it in its best light. Anyone who puts the attention to detail into that tool cabinet that Dan did, you can bet they also take care of their tools and space.

Wow! Thats got to be the most beautiful workshop I have ever seen. It is so clean that it seems as if there is never even any work done there.
Max Maker He probably never does use the tools...just opens them up every now and then to stare lovingly at them...
perhaps I would do the same...lol
Gravydownshirt, I think he does stare lovingly at all those beautiful tools like we all do on occasion, however, I suspect those tools see plenty of work too!
Lbhunter63 I think they see more polish than work! Worked tools don't remain that cosmetic and totally unmarked.
Or, perhaps it never ends and there is simply good clean-up time at the end of the day.
This guy has done more work and produced more beautiful items than all of us combined, who the hell are we kidding? He’s just a superhero of wood.
this is straight artwork . Love it
Your shop and tool chest are outstanding. But what (to me) is most laudable is the fact that you devoted time to a project you and your kids could do together. That's something to be really proud of.
Thank you. I agree. Both of my boys are woodworkers. My older son is building his first boat and my younger son just restored a boat last winter. Nothing I've ever done in my life was more important than working with them in my shop
I need to stop watching you tube and go tidy my workshop
Me to
me 3
You can always watch tidy up videos in you workshop...
this is straight artwork . Love it
brilliant name for the boat you built with your son's 👌
Agreed! I didn't notice that till I was editing.
Words can't describe how this video made me feel. Incredible doesn't do it justice
Incredibly envious?
My deepest respect for everything I see, even the Music and your voice are in a beautiful balance, you are a 100% perfectionist
this is straight artwork . Love it
My dad and I have been estranged for 10 years. Not a single word spoken between us since he left. Watching this video made me want to reach out to him and show him this video. It was our dream project to start boat building together. We lived in Maine too so this hits close to home.
Please take my simple advice. Do it before you regret not doing it.
Did you do it?
@@dr4g0nt4nk3r nope. Not yet.
In Argetina we have a saying to describe surprise:
"I'm with my mouth open!"
Very clean, neat, beautiful and peaceful.
Excellent music. The furniture of the tools ... impressive ... new compartments never stopped showing one, another and another more ... EXCELLENT !!
Buenos Aires.
Beautiful
Wife: “Fine Woodworking wants to comes see your shop! “
Him: “Oh, sh@&, you know how long it’s going to take me to clean that shop? “ ☹️
That shop, tool chest and a beautiful boat are the jewels of a man's dedicated work, passion and love! Thank you for sharing your joy and pride with us.
Museum quality work, absolute masterpieces throughout, thank you for sharing.
Ha, I am just sketching my tool cabinet, and now this mess all my thoughts. Gorgeous!
Ha! I am in the same boat. Suddenly, my hand tools that I once thought priceless seem like things found in the ditch compared to this; why should I build such a nice cabinet for them? No, of course not. I am now inspired.
Dan's tool chest is a beautiful piece of fine art. The shop is truly a dream shop.
I could watch this over and over and over again. Beautiful, just beautiful.
Beautiful cabinet. Your shop is very impressive. All I wanted was plans of how you built your cabinet. What water are you on?
Is this a work-zone or a high premium museum? Holy molly, what a perfection!
Lovely. I enjoyed that. Who the hell disliked that? Would like to see the tool chest made.......
P
ha! There's always got to be that one guy, right?
Very rare to see a beautiful tool chest like this! Reminds me of the Studley chest in the American History Museum. Mr Smith does beautiful work.
Now that I think about it, this one is preferable. Studley's is more an art piece, but too much going on and too heavy. Smith's is more practical and beautiful as well.
I have a poster of the Studley chest in my bathroom. Yes, it was my inspiration, but in no way can mine be compared.
Dan Smith Why not compare? Lol! I'd pick yours over Studley's. I can actually use yours. Anyway, nice to see a resurgence in craftsman like yourself. Used to be a dying breed because of economics and a host of other reasons, so its inspiring for me and many others.
@@dansmith338 You would make a fortune selling plans and hardware kits for this.
A beautiful handcrafted useful and awesome cabinet ! Would you consider publishing the source of the hardware and share a tutorial on how to make the cabinet ?
Beautiful, some serious envy coming from across the water in old Blighty !! What a wonderful place to live and work!!
Amazing. To all the trolls--he had Fine Woodworking magazine coming to visit and photograph his shop and tools--of course he would have everything so meticulously clean and looking new! That doesn't mean he doesn't use the tools or shop... Where do you think the boats came from? Sears?
Hey Dan love your shop. When I was watching your intro i said to myself that looks like the Maine coast. LOL I live in southern Maine, Kennebunk area.
That shop is cleaner and neater than my HOUSE - by FAR! Gorgeous! The tool storage unit itself is an example of "fine woodworking" - built so well and very beautiful... Makes me envious of the skills Mr. Smith possesses!
Beautiful and functional. Now that is craftsmanship.
I love the shop. The only problem is I am afraid if I had one like that, I would never leave it.
Holy smokes! Work of Art on the chest.
Where can I find those squares? They are beautiful and would like to get some.
eBay was my best source. Look under Bridge City Tools. They've all been discontinued but are still available. Many needed some work to clean up
Absolutely beautiful work. You're an amazing craftsman.
Beautiful boats, shop, tool cabinets, joinery, wood working tools and machinery...
Are there plans for the chest?
Mr.Smith this is a fellow Mo. resident, and woodworker since a very early age. I can see the love ,care ,though and work you put in your craft. It is a beautiful thing to see, very talented craftsmanship ,thank you.
INCREDIBLE SHOP JUST LOVE IT ,O SO VERY ORGANIZED.FROM DOUG IN HOUSTON
I am at 35 seconds into this video and already in AWE ... you have a beautiful precise and well organized shop sir...
Beautiful tool cabinet and I love your shop. I hope it's not always that clean! 😆
Dan, this is a fantastic video. I just left my wood shop, I quit early since it’s family day in Canada. Now I want to go back and work some more after seeing this. Beautiful music too.
Great stuff, beautiful shop in beautiful Maine. Exceptional work!
I couldn't have been the only one sat there with my mouth open in amazement throughout that whole video
Gorgeous! Tuck a small bath and a kitchenette into one corner and I'd be happy to retire there for good.
Man That cabinet... amazing ,Beutiful shop too
Wonderful hanging tool cabinet. I come back frequently to watch and listen again and again. It NEVER gets old. The boat you built with your sons is exquisite! Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a work of art. Bravo.
The music is nice by itself but does not belong here. It drowns the voice and is an irritant. Keep it Zen with natural sounds only,
Now that's a damn good looking clean organized workshop.well done
Mr. Smith, words are not enough to describe how incredible your tool chest, shop and boat are.
Wow. Incredibly inspiring man and workshop.
How did you apply the finish to the boat?
The varnish is Epiphanes high gloss. Nine coats. The red is Interlux Perfection, a two part finish that has held up very well. The boat was completed in 2009
The shop it absolutely fantastic! Beautiful craftsmanship!
Looks like a wonderful shop and your tool cabinet is very impressive. I really like all of the details in the individual tool holders.
Just one word .....WOW Sorry few more words DREAM WORKSHOP !
I never tire of watching this video. The shop is as exquisite as the boats you built with your sons and the ingenious cabinet you built with them.
that tool cabinet is amazing not to mention the tools it stores..wow!
🏆🖒🍻
Immaculate!
Wei done. Dream shop to say the least.
That's a beautiful tool chest. Amazing job.
OTTIMO VIDEO.
PERRFETTA LA SISTEMAZIONE E LA DISPOSIZIONE DEGLI NATTREZZI E DELLE APPARECCHIATURE.
COMPLIMENTI DI CUORE.
SALUTI
SALVIO
Super nice, what a craftmanship.
10/10
Such a beautiful shop! So inspiring and uplifting to listen to his story! I really enjoy these videos and listening to these amazing craftsmans stories. Thank you! Please make more of these!
хорошая работа, плохо что английский я не знаю только немецкий просто послушать как работает мастер, спасибо вам за видео
A woodworkers Dream. Keep it up Sir 👍
Note to self. Become a surgeon to support woodworking as a hobby.
Thanks for sharing. I think that is hard to beat as a dream house and the view is to die for. Dan you're the man!
Absolutely perfect. The finest shop I ever put my eyes on. Congratulations on a job well done
The plinky plonk music was annoying, but what a phenomenal tool chest.
I dream of having such a mind blowing shop! So fascinating
Wow! That tool cabinet is the most beautiful I've seen. Love the shop.
God that’s beautiful 👍
I made a box organized like that similarly...not nearly as nice but the organization was there...
My employer sent me off with a guy I wanted to work for more...”he was known to pay very well.” I knew my box and I would impress...
But alas ! I asked: “so you think maybe I come work for you guys in the future?”
He said : “HELL NO!!...look how anal and clean you keep everything, it’s very oblivious that you are crazy as fuck”
😂 I always remember that when I see stuff like this now.
this is masterpiece
Wow! I am blown away.
Why must you put minor key music in a beautiful shop video and make me want to cry
It's a piece of art! Congrats!
a drem woodshop
Still my favorite shop tour.... watched this a dozen times. Quick question, where do you find that brass hardware?
Thanks for your comments. The butt and knife hinges are Brusso, and the outer closure devices are called skylight fasteners from R&W Rope Warehouse. Both companies have online stores. The brass finger pulls can be tricky to find with the right diameter. Some have too small an inner diameter to easily use as a pull. I can't remember where I finally found a size that fit my finger, but they are common in marine hardware stores and Amazon.
Thank You!
I reckon at least 50% of the views here are mine. Absolutely spectacular. I do not get tired of watching this video.
One of the nicest tool cabinets and shop I have seen, thanks.
Copy of the Studley Tool chest basically.
Daaaannnnngggg Dan!!! I agree with Max Maker - absolutely gorgeous shop! "Craftsmanship" doesn't come close to describing it!! Something all woodworkers secretly dream of, I should think. I know I do.. Well done. You should be proud.

I don't know if it was the beautiful cabinet, or the amazing shop or maybe the music, but I almost got a little weepy during this video! WTH Unreal.
Absolutely beautiful my friend. This video has been extremely motivating. Thank you.
probably one of the cleanest woodshop i ever seen, does anybody ever work there?
the tool chest, state of the art! again, there is not a scratch on any tool!
kinda reminds me Frank Klausz new shop, except, I know what Frank is capable...
it's nice, a bit too sterile for my taste...
Dream workshop. So I guess you earn your money in another business. I work on new build houses joiners dont buy hand saw much all battery powered. Nail guns all have first and second fix. They dont even have hand tool boxes anymore

Perfectly inspirational gift wrapped legacy with command over respectability

Such a clean shop. Would never handle a real bulk of orders of furniture making. Best regards.

This is a very nice work shop. But, may I ask the question:"Does somebody work in that shop?" It's so clean and looks as new a it can get.
Do you sell plans to build that awesome tool chest
Thank you, that was a privilege, wonderful tool box ,
Why do most wood workers have OCD? 😂
Wow ! Beautiful Shop, Tool Chest ,and Boats all in one i too have been lucky enough to share my love of Woodworkingband Boating with my son beginning with him around the same age as you have mine has grown up to be a pretty darn good Craftsman
Love the idea of using Portal Closing Device on the door.....Tried to search for them. Where did Dan get them?
What I would not do for plans for this!
It's more like museum than a shop 😅
In quella stanza c'è tutto il tuo cuore
Beautiful shop but not to be used all winter I would lose it. Lol. Shop plus boats equals two buildings I'm just sayin'.
Whats with all of the jealous haters and clean shops. If Fine Woodworking says they want to profile my shop, you can bet I am going to do my best to show it in its best light.
