    It's incredible how you changed that space so fast... At first it felt really plain and kind of hostile, but after putting all your furniture and stuff up, it suddenly became really cozy-looking... I really look forward to your upcoming videos!

    This video was randomly suggested to me by youtube and I don't think I've ever felt as comfortable watching a space evolve as I have with this one, everything has so much personality
    I'm really looking forward to seeing this grow!!

    I am in awe and sincerely envy your complete disregard for order and cleanliness (you repotted a plant indoors on top of a rug! … Inconceivable). I mean it. I feel like my need for a "proper place and proper tools" is holding me back creatively.

    The way you make your place look through building and decorating reminds me so much of the "I Spy" books I used to look through as a kid and I love it! Great work, and I love that you reuse old wood! its great for the environment and adds history and a homey feel to the place. Definitely a good inspiration for how I'm going to decorate my place.

    oh dear i fear i have found someone who also does messy wood furniture just as i. i have been reusing a massive tarva ikea dresser for 9 years. it's become desks, shelves, workspaces, a dresser, and a few others. i love all of the old screw holes. they tell a story. the layers of splattered paint from my toddler who is now a big girl. it's something special. i reuse everything wood until it is no longer usable lol. i am so happy i've come across this channel. it feels homey, cozy.

  • @st4r683

    I love this. Most of my grandparent's home consists of scrapwood construction, I can remember the 2x4-plywood combo shelving unit that held the countless toys they kept for my cousins, my brother, my friends, and I. I remember finding the scrap pile in the backyard and creating makeshift club houses and seesaws. I remember the vibrant paints that sat on shelves which were covered in spills of lilac and cyan and off-white, matching the colors of their walls in old photos.
    It tempts me, to do this myself. To create a home that is truly, my home. A home that fits my every need, my every creation, and that can adapt as I do the same.

    The last minute of this really resonated with me. I consider myself a perfectionist, that has unfortunately had influence on my space and I often find myself missing my family home and the "make do" nature of things.
    Now, as an adult, I find myself chasing a clean "curated" workspace. Which ironically is probably doing more to get in the way of my creativity, seeing you build your space like you have has really inspired me to reconsider what I value in a work/living space.
    Also, we have the same small LED panels! Real useful.

    I really needed this today man. Just finished building a workshop/ studio space at the bottom of my garden and while I'm drowning in wood I couldn't see how I could make the scrapped together look come out the way I wanted but you nailed it

  • @JTSpangler
    @JTSpangler 2 місяці тому +1

    Man, this video hit me with so much nostalgia. This is exactly how I started building stuff when I was in my 20s. Figuring it out, long 2x4s hanging out of my honda window, making cuts in a parking lot.
    Now I'm 44 with a dope workshop and I buy shelves rather than building them, but this video made me long for those days.

    oh my GOD finally a youtube human with a workspace I resonate with. Ahhh I love your vibe. I feel so alone with my way of, well, assembling my living space, everyone calls me eclectic or artistic and I'm just trying to feel OKAY with the stuff that surrounds me everyday. And it needs to be accessible and all in one place and also look nice. I like every single video of yours and they feel like home :) I'm now subscribed to you. Thank you for sharing your stuff with us!!

    Great channel. Being smart with circular saws is key. Hold them tight, they can run too. With a miter/chop saw, Had a similar experience. Was cutting a small piece that slipped off the fence because of the gap behind the blade. Got pulled in and back, And twisted/spun/jammed so fast that it almost ripped my fingernail off. It was that skate deck ply wood that has a curve to it as well. Check out those zero clearance miter saw spoil boards. always be careful or avoid small pieces potentially lift or move. Clamps, scraps and push sticks always help. Saws pull in. Japanese pull saw with a miter jig is quick and low dust. But yeah, awesome Channel. have fun!

    This was enjoyable for sure. I do things the same way. I build all my own furniture and keep wood, and other bits for years. If I need something, I figure out how to make it.
    I’ve been living out of a van I built up the past two years, and will be getting back into a “normal” space soon.
    This video really motivated me, and helped me realize how much I miss all my little things that I have in storage.
    Keep up all the rad work.

    For first-time viewers, this was an excellent video. I prefer exact, stark clean, minimal studio spaces with a few retro bits.
    But your storytelling was so good. It felt like an extension of your making. Everything is worn and exciting.
    I am gonna subscribe; I don't know if I'll be here for a long time. But thanks for this video and the stories.

I now have a custom painted shelf for my cameras and an under desk cubby hole to keep various gadgets and books. sadly cant put anything on the walls here due to the landlords strict rules but using shelving is a great way around that. hope you're all good mate, keep living life.
