@@Fixthisbuildthat you may not see this but, you should really install a “jackshaft garage door opener”. It frees up so much overhead space, it’s easy to install, and it makes the garage look so much better without having the opener hanging over your head. I converted to a high lift door and jackshaft opener and the difference is amazing. Check em out!!!!
Awesome update and great to hear you talk through the progression! My KTT is maybe a 4/10, but it’s growing as my daughter gets older. My biggest issue now is my wife’s gardening items taking over parts of the shop - garden wagons can be great, but not when its maliciously stored in the garage shop!
KTT is zero - retired, kids moved on and grandkids keep things at parents house. Great video tour, nice and clean. Also great reminder on safety glasses (safety is so very important). Surprised you spent to little time on the huge vacuum system you have, maybe there is a video on that I need to find. Great channel keep up the good work.
I have been doing the same with my home shop. I have built all new storage benches, chop saw station, knew 4' x 8' torsion box catch/fabrication table & woodworking bench. But I still have two refrig /freezers. & My own bike hanging up in the rafters.
One of the best shop tours I have watched. You are also not the only one that vacuums to much, once I get done on the table saw, miter saw I grab the shop vac and start vacuuming.
I always learn something new when I have the chance to watch the content you put out. Might I offer a suggestion though... looks like you have about 3 or so ladders. If you turn them 90° then they shouldn't stick out much more than they do now and you can easily grab the one you need and slide it out without having to move all of them to get to the one in when needed. Just a thought. Hope its useful. Thanks again for all the great content. You are truly an inspiration!
I think the first video of yours I found was the shelving. You didn't appear to have much for infrastructure at that point so you were cutting everything on sawhorses or on the floor.. lol. By the time I needed the shelving I had a mitre station and a multi-purpose pullout table for my table saw so that project was pretty easy. REALLY easy to adjust them if I need to raise one shelf up or down, the way I screwed them in. I do have a similar setup to your DustStopper. I clamp all my most-used clamps around the frame for easy access. Lastly, my 6'x3' multi-purpose pullout table (as mentioned) is pretty great. I think you'll find that to be a massively rewarding build. Mine is 1/2" plywood with 3/4" MDF on top of it, finished with satin polyurethane. I went with poplar banding around the edges and a 45 degree chamfer to the poplar edges. Instead of expensive T-track, I routed out slots (two slots lengthwise, three slots crisscrossing them widthwise) and used parallel 1" flatbar (1/8") flush mounted with the surface of the table (with enough gap between them for a carriage bolt to slide in), in lieu of T-Track. It cost me probably as much for ALL that steel for that track system (252" of track length in total) as it would have cost me for ONE section of 48" T-track, and I painted them matte black with automotive primer (so far the paint is holding up well). Looks fantastic and I've done SO much with that table already.. Made my own hold down clamps for the tracks using some of the left over 1" steel, carriage bolts and my own knobs. Even built a modular router sled where the rails bolt onto the track. I'm loving this whole shop experience so far. Your videos definitely inspire me to keep going.
Hi brad quick tip for you for loose handles, you can use normal plumbing tape also know as thread tape.. Muse a idea Love you work brad much love from South Africa
I’ve been meaning to tell you, I was at the big box store the other day and asked an associate for “me nails” and he just looked at me all confused. What gives?! Shop looks great, always jealous, but looking forward to building mine up too!
This was bloody great mate! You covered so much and it was great to see the areas that normally arent filmed, your organised/mess/chaos was incredibly relatable. Some of my most recent uploads have been a shop tour and my vision for the future. Keep up the great work mate! 🤘
If you want to keep the dogs holes, just set up a low profile draw system under it, makes it easier to retrieve dropped screw and catches dust so then you just slide the draw out and hoover.
Awesome Tour Brad!! I’m new to Woodworking and I just bought a New Age 8 piece Garage Storage System. But I would love a miter saw station like yours on the other side of the garage. But I’m torn between making carts for my table saw and a Outfeed/Assembly Table to slide in underneath the miter station or build lower cabinets like yours and just leave a big 4x8 in the middle of the shop. But all that has been put on hold with these lumber prices. I’m hoping they go down by the Summer
I've used Teflon tape for years to help with cabinet screws. Adjustable hinges on my lazy susan corner cabinet drove me crazy before I used the tape. As for the PTT issue, I'm very lucky. All the toys are restricted to the house or two stall attached garage. We have a 30'x50' spray foamed metal building with my toy car, yard equipment and a contained (walled off) 20'x30' room for the woodshop. The building also has a 10' x10' room my wife uses for her pottery wheel...and I sneak in there for some extra storage sometimes. Please keep that on the down low.
PTT has a cure, it's called Empty Nester. Be aware, this is when GTT sets in - GRANDPARENT TOY TAKEOVER!!! Unfortunately, there is no known cure. I have more stuff for two little grandkids compared to when I had four sons growing up. There are more grandkids on the way! But I do love those little ones :) Great video, thanks for sharing that Brad. Take care.
Great video Brad! I'm in a 2 car of a 3 car garage. I think I finally have my wife convinced to let me take the 3rd bay. Unfortunately, I'm still stuck with all the typical garage stuff and I don't have a wall to myself. I'm slowly trying to move things around and be more organized. Rome wasn't built in a day so I guess my shop won't be either. - Ed
I watched the FTBTLive when you first mentioned getting a storage unit. The reward of pulling the trigger and doing so shows on this video. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to your upcoming shop builds. Take care out there. :D
I can see why you have so many subscribers. Great videos. I’m just getting into woodworking and planning out my standard sized two car garage. I’m going to gave to get creative to get things to fit.
I got tired of trying to share the garage with the wife's car household items and bicycles so I decided to put aside some dough and do a shop add on to the existing garage. I now have a 750 Sq foot shop with a full bathroom that I can home no family stuff just mine oh the feeling is so good.
What an awesome transformation! I know you always enjoy working in your shop but it must truly be a joy to go out there now and see everything all organized and set up like you want it!!!
Lately I turned to leather projects and you helped me deigned my shop for leather craft. As for your work top with all the "dog holes "and dropping things down them make some drawers underneath Just to catch the fallen items. Of course the number of holes seems to be excessive, but...
If you want to get more wall space, store your ladders on the ceiling. A u shape bracket to slide the top of the ladder, then another for the feet of the ladder. Slide it into the first, then slide it back to the second. Or you can make a hook for the top, and a rope to pull the bottom of the LAdder tight to the ceiling, and tie off the rope with a cleat.
I've considered this for ladders and bikes, but I have 11' ceilings and lots of lights up there so not a lot of free space. Might do it one day and find a way to cram them up there
I have a MTT ratio. Man toy ratio in my garage. Getting a storage building for the mower and lawn stuff. The dirt bikes and motorcycles take up room as does the wood working. The area where the lawn stuff is stored is going to be a dedicated miter station and and scrape storage, though I may build a your mobile storage rack. Some updates to my work bench to improve things and some storage stuff I think it going to help out.
Great video Brad!! it was nice to see how you’ve tied your shop builds all together. Certainly jealous of your shop. Looking forward to your next project.
Check out DIY Montreal's video on how she automated her dust collection system and connected it to multiple pieces of equipment that she doesn't need to continuously connect/disconnect. It's really ingenous.
Just a thought for your assembly table. Under the actual top why not use a sheet of plywood angled towards the side you stand on most. Put a 2-3 inch lip on it and anything that falls through just slides down the plywood toward you. Keep it angled at arms length or close and it’s in reach. A great thought would be to build a frame and then put some 1/4 inch glossy birch paneling (Home Depot sells it and it’s slippery enough that you wouldn’t need to angle it much. Stuff would fall through hole, and slide right down and stop up against the 2-3 inch lip. Anyway just sharing what I’d do.
Sitting here watching a fellow maker guy show me his shop, and up pops an ad for some kind of "hoo-hoo" deodorant. Man, UA-cam needs to work on its algorithms better. Maybe it's cause you kept mentioning "toys" in your video... ... but I digress. That's an awesome shop. I'm working in a small 13'x17' one car garage. It's tight! However, I'm musing about a stationary miter saw station. I think the important thing small shops need to employ is multiple use spaces. So, if a miter saw station is fixed, it needs to do double or triple duty and it looks like you have got that nailed. 👍👍👍
My KTT is about 20! I felt over so much things of my Daughter. I love the garage in America. With this i have an KTT of 4. but in Germany my Garage is to small for my Car
You've done very well for yourself, it is to be admired. Just sayin'... in those open spaces you've got on the counter top, you can add a tape dispenser box with a serrated blade incorporated for cutting them.
It was great to see your whole shop and how you have everything laid out. To save on both money and time would it be worth customizing your assembly/work bench that has that dog holes in it? Maybe put a piece of 3/4 plywood of whatever dimensions on top and then build cabinets to go underneath. Just a thought.
No kids, so no KTT. But the WST (Wife Stuff Takeover) sure takes up a lot of space. Stuff she doesn't want to put in the house because it "clutters" but has no problem "cluttering" my space with "not my stuff."
My KTT level is at 0. you need to get rid of your garage door opener and get a Jack shaft opener. It will free up your ceiling for storage space. That is what I did and now all the kids stuff and bikes are up on the ceiling. Still easy to get down when we need to. but lets be honest, its in the garage for a reason. it doesnt get used very often. Except maybe the bikes.
I’m really happy you brought awareness to a real problem here in America. You have my vote if you ever decide to run for president only if you promise to fight and end KTT in our shops.
A planner is a little out of my budget. I don’t buy the cheapest tools I buy somewhere in the middle. But I do have a lot of projects to do as a homeowner and I’m trying to relearn skills. I haven’t used in 40-45 years. My main goal is to get things up off the ground and have work benches and cutting stations to make my workflow more efficient.
When you make the new assembly bench you should make dog holes but come up with a sliding mechanism that closes the holes when you push it and opens the holes when you push it the other way.... If that makes sense
I wish garage's were the same size over here in England. My garage is 9.6 feet wide by 14 feet long and just over 6 foot high. So the KTT is a constant fight 😅
Do you have any complaints about the new Fein square type as opposed to the old round type dust collector. I keep reading comments about slip in quality.
You need to have a contest. LOL. Not sure how to run it. But the winner gets to have their shop designed by you! I have an amazing space. But it’s just not set up right. You have a great talent for that. I’d love for you to set up my layout.
Your shop looks alot bigger than mine while it's roughly the same size. Mine is 5x8m in size (16.4 feet by 26.2 feet). Your ceiling is alot higher than mine though. It has a gable roof and within that space, I store all my wooden boards and such. But I have a huge workbench (1.2 x 3m) in the middle of the workshop so I have alot of space to work on and still get around it to reach every other part of my shop. On one side I have a big storage rack, it's almost the entire length of my longest wall (about 6m of it), 60cm deep and 2m high (Europeans use the metric system). But I'm gonna get rid of it and build myself a similar workbench for the miter saw as yours. Looks alot more handy than storing it loose in my storage rack and take it out every time I need to cut a board. And I definately need alot of drawers because right now, everything it laying around on that same rack, open and exposed and covered in dust since I don't have dust collection yet. Your workshop has given me so many ideas to organise my own shop. I'm still in the very beginning of woodworking and currently, I can't do a single thing in my shop because of a big renovation project in the house. Even my huge workbench is fully covered with packages that contain our new furniture for the living room which I cannot construct and place yet because we still need to lay tiles on the floor. But your miter saw workbench and the moveable wood storage rack is something I need to have. Keep up your good work.
Brad your shop is amazing. The level of OCD is mindblowing. I wish I was as dedicated to organizing as you are. My workstation looks like a "mess bomb" hit it lol. The only thing organized on it is my lathe tools are on a wall holder. Whenever the cost of plywood goes down I'll add some cabinets on the wall. I totally get the KTT factor. I'm also in a 2 car shop and suffer from irreversible WCT "wife car takeover). What planner is that? 15" sounds mouthwateringly sweet.
Yes sir I liked your video alot. Was waiting to know where you got your CNC router and what size is it and how much are they ? I'm building my shop now and would love one but know nothing about them. But I know that I can do so much more with it. But on a budget to. So info would be appreciated thank you
You use a certain kind of 3/4” plywood quite a bit in a lot of your shop projects, what kind of plywood is it? It looks like birch plywood but I can never find birch plywood that is that good of quality...
Really love the overhead view showing the camera angle, great idea!
Glad you liked it!
I agree, definitely cool
For real I like the visual

I have 0 KTT. What I do have is CDT (Christmas Decoration Takeover) It takes up about 100 SF (700CF).
hahahaha, merry christmas!
My wife has boxes for every season and every holiday. She’s got 3/4 of the garage and I constantly have move her stuff to even get to my corner.
You could always glue a few extra boards onto that table to increase the width from 25" to around 30" so it's better for building the projects you do.
Really nice shop!
thanks!
Man I wish wood prices weren’t so high I want to do those cabinets like you have!
Yeah my PTT is a solid 500, i have to make use of my space extra wisely

You should try some drop down 45 degree shelves under your cabinets at your miter saw station. Might be kind of cool and different.
interesting idea
No kids, so no KTT. But the WST (Wife Stuff Takeover) sure takes up a lot of space. Stuff she doesn't want to put in the house because it "clutters" but has no problem "cluttering" my space with "not my stuff."

I’m really happy you brought awareness to a real problem here in America. You have my vote if you ever decide to run for president only if you promise to fight and end KTT in our shops.
Cars? In a garage? Never heard of it!
exactly :)

You could do a half cabinet above mitresaw
Also. Didn't mention lighting I seem to rember a light. Video. Which are you using.

Not expecting you to see this, but how did you connect the dustopper to your Fein? I'm guessing it was a custom job connecting to the vac body?
You need to have a contest. LOL. Not sure how to run it. But the winner gets to have their shop designed by you! I have an amazing space. But it’s just not set up right. You have a great talent for that. I’d love for you to set up my layout.
Do you have a video showing the Fein dust vacuum setup? Curious to see what its like!
Show, good job
Spring washer would of worked aswell. Great looking workshop my KTT is 20 haha
Your shop looks alot bigger than mine while it's roughly the same size. Mine is 5x8m in size (16.4 feet by 26.2 feet). Your ceiling is alot higher than mine though. It has a gable roof and within that space, I store all my wooden boards and such. But I have a huge workbench (1.2 x 3m) in the middle of the workshop so I have alot of space to work on and still get around it to reach every other part of my shop. On one side I have a big storage rack, it's almost the entire length of my longest wall (about 6m of it), 60cm deep and 2m high (Europeans use the metric system). But I'm gonna get rid of it and build myself a similar workbench for the miter saw as yours. Looks alot more handy than storing it loose in my storage rack and take it out every time I need to cut a board. And I definately need alot of drawers because right now, everything it laying around on that same rack, open and exposed and covered in dust since I don't have dust collection yet. Your workshop has given me so many ideas to organise my own shop. I'm still in the very beginning of woodworking and currently, I can't do a single thing in my shop because of a big renovation project in the house. Even my huge workbench is fully covered with packages that contain our new furniture for the living room which I cannot construct and place yet because we still need to lay tiles on the floor. But your miter saw workbench and the moveable wood storage rack is something I need to have. Keep up your good work.
Brad your shop is amazing. The level of OCD is mindblowing. I wish I was as dedicated to organizing as you are. My workstation looks like a "mess bomb" hit it lol. The only thing organized on it is my lathe tools are on a wall holder. Whenever the cost of plywood goes down I'll add some cabinets on the wall. I totally get the KTT factor. I'm also in a 2 car shop and suffer from irreversible WCT "wife car takeover). What planner is that? 15" sounds mouthwateringly sweet.
Yes sir I liked your video alot. Was waiting to know where you got your CNC router and what size is it and how much are they ? I'm building my shop now and would love one but know nothing about them. But I know that I can do so much more with it. But on a budget to. So info would be appreciated thank you
Great shop - how to you get power to the planer, jointer etc- I am remodeling my garage and will have my table saw etc in the middle as well? Tks
You use a certain kind of 3/4” plywood quite a bit in a lot of your shop projects, what kind of plywood is it? It looks like birch plywood but I can never find birch plywood that is that good of quality...
KTT... Amazing! 😂
great tour!!!
Expectcular 👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
KTT@12.5. Gotta climb over my kids gokarts to get to my weedeater string.
Really nice layout!!! What lumber racks are you using high up on the wall? They look like metal.
