Making My Dream Shop -- Episode Two

- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- The second installment of my series on making my dream woodshop. Before I got settled, I wanted to make the shop a little easier on the eyes. So I patched all the seams on the OSB walls, added a heavy texture to blend it all in, then painted the entire shop a nice light gray. Finally, I replaced my old yellow fluorescent shop lights with high intensity LED lights in a bright white 6000k color.
Let me know what you think of the process, or if you have any tips for me!

I like the shop update videos.
I’m neither radio nor TV. I just like to feed my ego by talking while I work.
That actually made me laugh out loud
That was funny!
I admit I sometimes do this.. 😂😁
Same, made me lol as well
Try adding some mirrors to your shop. I found myself in perfect company when I did.
The best sentence ever “I read about 15% of the instructions” 🤣that’s what I would have done too!!
I thought the EXACT same thing!
Same here: If looking at the pictures with numbered machine parts and the index count as well.
Radio - My Dad used to always say, "When all else fails, read the instructions"
I thought 15% was a bit excessive 🤣
I felt good about that
Book people. I listen to audiobooks all the time while I'm woodworking, helps keep the creative juices flowing
Audiobook! But I love watching this come together, people's building and redecorating videos show what some TLC can truly do.
Thanks jay!
" Radio " Love the shop setup vids. They're like a movie teaser, just leaves you wanting more.
Oh thanks michael!
I really like wathcing people taking care of their workshops. I myself just did some remodeling of workplaces and am always looking for some ideas or inspiration!
Oh nice! Thanks Simon
I enjoy the the non-woodworking videos. I live in an apartment in Cologne Germany and watch your videos because I think they are well done. Keep up the good work. If somebody is not interested, that is there priorities. Thank you.
Just wanted to say I love these shop videos. I’m a new subscriber and love your table builds, but I’m also a new homeowner and beginner DIYer so it’s cool seeing how you put your space together and what you buy. I’ll be getting those pegboards you showed in another video. Keep up the great work with your builds and videos!
Thanks Tom!
T.V.!
😊
I love the shop videos, it’s always great to see what people do. I’m commenting half way through, but I’ll be making it to the end so just imagine I put what ever word you have for us this time 😂
But did you REALLY?!
How can I know for sure!??
@@BlacktailStudio I lied for the clout
@@djlambert625 what's clout
Watching other people setting up new workshops gives me hope and I can imagine my future workshop. Never big enough.
Audio Book / Podcast person here! I love seeing the updates on your shop, I'm here for creativity and your soothing voice.
Good call!
radio - Shop update videos are excellent. 95% of viewers (including me)are always looking for inspiration for their own dream shops. Those lights are excellent
Thanks Tim!
Shop videos are fascinating to me, just as I like seeing artists' studios. It's interesting to see how people like to set up their work space, and I often learn new ideas from seeing how other people arrange things.
TV: I would have painted the shop with a roller so using a sprayers is a brilliant choice and something to keep in mind.
It was a good idea. In theory.
Podcasts-All of your videos are how too videos. You always explain everything you do, what you did right, and ( most importantly) what mistakes you make. That's why I love your videos!
The reason why I like this video (I enjoy all your vids) is because you show the real deal. All the things that go wrong in real life and how you preserve through it all. 👍🏻
Thanks paul! I try
Radio, I actually stream Spotify from my phone, music, audiobooks etc via Bluetooth to a great old Stereo system, also can listen to the radio. I really enjoyed the Shop construction video, especially the LED lighting, please include more as well as the project builds.
You got it Chris!
Great video, keep them coming, love watching your workshop take shape.
Thanks paul!
Music (instead of radio). I appreciate the shop videos. I’m in the process of converting a detached garage to my wood shop so I’m soaking up as much knowledge as I can. I also just enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Richard!
I’m a music on my phone guy. I like shop updates. It’s always good to see what others do in their shop. I have the same lights. They are awesome. I have 172,000 lumens at 6000k running through my shop. It’s daylight in there.
That’s incredible!
"Radio" - Love this series so far! Please tell us that you'll be doing a hanging wood storage video soon. I'm playing around with a few designs and would love to see how you built yours.
Absolutely!
Keep the shop update videos coming. Very inspirational. I'm a radio guy- usually NPR.
I remember a few years ago my in-laws called me to tell me they were at the grocery store with their keys locked in the trunk. I had to drive to their house, pick up the spare keys, then drive to the grocery store. Unfortunately, this was during one of the worst snow storms in the last decade, so what would normally have taken me about an hour took me 3 hours.
When I arrived at the grocery store, my MIL explained what happened - "we were putting groceries away, and then the trunk closed". Hmmm, I couldn't help but feel like some important details were being left out of the story.
That's the same feeling I had when I saw what happened to the TV. I think the TV deserved its own episode.
Love the video, as always.
Radio (well, podcasts). The shop is looking great and I have been enjoying the series. Blessings!
Thanks mate!
Radio.. because I like Audio Books Honestly I find these videos a nice departure from the project videos, the up grades look nice
Thanks man!
Radio killed the video stars!
I like this kind of shop prep episode, you'll be back to tables making pretty quickly I guess.
btw when you spray over the dark grey primer, it's like seeing an old grey part being sand blasted :)
Totally is
A day in the life is important - yes you make fantastic resin tables - but these are important! SOOOOO many content dev's dont do this. Keep it up
TV when I’m just hanging out in the shop, or cleaning up. Radio when working on projects. Enjoying the shop update videos.
Good call!
I love how wonderful your workshop is coming together. You’re gonna have to make a video after video of the the progression of your shop. And I hope you make videos of your first piece of art in your new space. You’re doing a great job…keep going and enjoy 😊
I love these shop updates! Keep them coming!
Done!
TV person here.
I'm really enjoying the shop videos, it's fun to be "behind the scenes". Thanks for bringing us along on the journey.
Ya man
Really like your comments. Especially the way you look on your mistakes - not covering them from us. That makes it approachable for me. I am making mistakes too….love your usual Videos a lot. But this is something I will be watching with joy too. Thank you for the Entertainment and inspiration you are giving me - highly appreciate that!
Tv: there is a way you could just take down the fluorescent lights and re wire and bypass the ballast to convert it to LED. it’s super easy and basically just like hardwiring the lights straight to the power while keeping the fluorescent light fixtures. I do it all the time at work
I should have mentioned that. I did that at my old shop and the bulbs cost 3x more than these lights
Love the videos! Super jealous that you have a stand alone shop now!
I’m excited!
Radio is how i work in the shop. These are the videos I'm most curious about, learning how people setup their shops and why. Keep them coming!
Will do!
I enjoyed the videos, although I am a non-woodworker, grandmother. I love your spirit, energy, integrity, and talent. I enjoy watching a dream come true.
Love the content, Cam. New shop looks good, the upgraded TS will pay for its self in no time (some time). Keep up the good work.
Thanks mike! And good eye 😉
radio. Love these types of videos, it'll be informative to see how you as a professional would upgrade your shop. keep it up mate!
Thanks Ethan!
Tv makes great white noise in the background, and the ability to look up when something you hear grabs your attention, is an added benefit. Your humility is refreshing and watching you tackle projects outside of your profession definitely is instructional and entertaining. You say it is not a “Professional” grade job, but from looking at the video there certainly isn’t a $5,000 difference in quality from your work to that of a contractors.
I appreciate that Brad
TV in the house, podcasts in the shop (garage). I’m enjoying your shop setup videos.
finaly! ive been waiting for this video for a weeek
Oh thanks!
the real drywalls guys would be ashamed comment had me cracking up
Oh they would
Radio AND TV... or, Pandora on TV. Best of both worlds.
These types of videos can help with those of us who aren't building a woodworking shop. I want to create a smaller studio for drawing and paper mache sculpture, but a lot of your hints and tricks are transferrable. Not only that, it demonstrates how unintimidating it can be. So, thanks for that.
"Less ego and commentary"?!? Honestly, your humility is refreshing. Also, if you don't want commentary... well, why are you watching videos in the first place?
Keep up the good work. :)
Definitely TV. Much more visual then listening to something on a radio.
Been loving this mini series so far. Working on my own shop in the next couple weeks and this has given a lot of inspiration!
Oh awesome!
Spotify, btw. I have this old janky stereo receiver that has one speaker without a box around it. I hook it up to my phone old school via a headphone to rca cable :-D
That’s vintage sound!
TV: More like this video. I love the journey.
You got it!
Radio , love music. I enjoy all your videos including the ones where your shop is transformed into a beautiful work area. Congratulations on a great job. Even though I’m a woman nearing 80, I admire your achievements and your humble personality. Thank you
TV with some cool blues music playing in the background. Easy to catch-up on new ideas.
9:23 i laughed out loud
Neither Radio nor TV, definitely audio though: streaming albums
i like seeing how everyone sets up their shop. i like seeing what decisions they make.. and what they use. so Yes.
Radio because else I’d just end up watching TV and not get anything done! Big supporter of the shop videos and tool reviews. Always helpful to see how others have managed limited space and how benches and machines are setup. Keep ‘em coming.
Neither radio or tv. UA-cam only with active watching or just listening depending on what I’m doing otherwise.
That’s fair Helen!
Radio - Are you going to do anything with the ceiling? With the lights it really shows the gaps between the OSB - they make the dark gaps more noticeable. Do you think you could put some of the filler that you used initially on the wall gaps?
It could be quite cool to add in some colour changing LED strips in your workshop. You could use it for nice lighting with your photos or videos of your work? It would change the colour dynamics on some of the pieces - especially if it was a gaming or office table perhaps?
Ya, been thinking about how to best do the ceiling
@@BlacktailStudio Just cover the ceiling in wall control!
Radio guy here up in Canada. That was a lot of work texturing the walls. I have drywall on mine and never again, just not durable enough. I swapped my old fluorescent fixtures out for the same led fixtures you have. It’s amazing how much brighter they are and yes no more humming. As far as future content goes, I’m not picky. Good quality content, without drama and music, will always keep me to watching to the end of a video. Keep up the good work Cam.
It's all part of the journey...
Setting up a new shop is great to watch...just watch
🇨🇦🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🇨🇦
Your gonna need a whole pallet to texture that🤣🤣🤣
He tried the up sell!
Radio!! Everyone's shop is a reflection of ones self. I enjoy seeing how other people set up their shop. It helps to understand the craftsman. Good work, Thx
Thanks ron!
It's nice to see somebody else doing the thing I do just jump in and adjust to the desired results.
Absolutely
Audiobook and TV. Book people do watch all the way through. Representing the few and proud! Shop is looking great by the way.
Keep going with the shop updates. Seeing how you get the space you want to do the work we all love watching is just as important. (And I'm neither radio or TV type. I generally just like listening to the machines and the wood.)
Thanks Jeff!
I like the shop videos. Most of your followers are probably woodworkers so seeing not only how you make your products but the space you make it in is a good thing. It’s inspiration for our own shops.
Radio… Shop videos are great. It does help to see what others are doing in the shop besides the tools they choose.
Love the shop updates. Always interesting to see how others do it.
Music and podcasts while working in the shop. I don’t want visual distractions while working with power tools.
Thanks michael!
I'm a CD person, love the textured finish over the OSB and I'd love to see more of your shop videos, always good to see how others set up and their equipment (you know what I mean).
I think it is great the way you are showing us how you set up your work shop because with a good layer out work shop you do a much better job and and happier
“Radio”. I drive a truck all day. A tv would get me in trouble.
Good to see that you place the cord to the broken tv INSIDE the trash can with the tv. It’s amazing how many people leave cords hanging on the outside of their trash can. What happens? The arm pinches the cord against the can and when the can is brought back to the ground whatever is hooked to the cord comes flying back out of the truck.
All of your videos are interesting. Whatever content you choose is great. Thanks for taking the time and effort.
Radio,I love seeing something that you don't like transform into something your proud of,dreaming about things than doing GREAT JOB ,GREAT VIEDO.
Thanks!!
Radio while I work. And definitely like the shop update videos. We all do it so it’s nice to see others like yourself doing it too.
Thanks!
TV - I love videos about someone's shop. I think it helps to get inside the person's mind, in how they think and what their preferences are. Plus I always learn something knew that I may want to add to my environment. Great job, and really glad you are doing it right after you moved in, not 3 years later. It's always a lot of work to get it the way you like it, but I think its always better to do it as soon as possible. Keep up the great work, I really enjoy your videos!
Absolutely Darin
I like watching how people setup their shops. Nice paint job.
Radio, 100%. I have difficulty ignoring TV long enough to work, but I can listen to music while doing _anything._
I hadn't fully realized how wack the lighting was until I saw how yellow the gray paint looked. These videos are fun! Construction is almost as interesting as furniture building.
I would have been stoked with how the mud came out if it were me. It went from half-done to a real wall!
Thanks Kat!
Radio AND. TV (not at the same time). I love watching your workshop come together. Keep it up.
Will do!
Thank you for showing us the new lights you put up. Just got mine in today, and they are BRIGHT! Thanks again.
TV: I like all the content you produce. I’m having a good time watching your videos at nearly midnight. I find them as relaxing as they are informative
Love the shop episodes. Radio / podcasts going in the background is wonderful
Tv is definitely me!!
And the new shop is starting to get a good shape
Hard work always pays off!!
Thanks!
I couldn't perceive the difference from these videos and any others I have viewed. Very interesting to see what & how you renovated this shop. Very nice texture!
No radio. No TV. I like the shop build videos. Keep it up!
That’s fair Andy
Cam. I’m a radio man! I like the shop videos as that is part of getting things right for my projects. I like the fact that you not embarrassed by showing your mistakes
Na 😊
❤️ shop updates. Hubby and I enjoy a glass of sweet tea and chat them. Sometimes I have to take a break and head to my shop, then he will his art studio
Definatley i have to have music all the time and it is always nice seeing what other people due in their shop
I'm pretty late with the comments but TV almost definitely. Just wanted to say I enjoy the shop videos as much as the woodworking ones. It's all part of the craft after all.
I found your updates very entertaining and I am impressed by how much you are willing to do by yourself. I think your replacing the heavy fluorescents was very wise, and I like your new shop alot.
TV adds an extra sense of homie feel. Love the garage update videos! Can’t wait for you to decorate it with some of your creative pieces!
Thanks!
TV. That's UA-cam TV...You are livin' the dream life !
Audio in shop, TV in home. I can't ignore those magical moving pictures so productivity goes down the drain.
I love these shop building videos so far. I've totally remodeled my home, so I feel your mudding and painting pains, but building a shop is in the future. I'd love to see you make the mistakes so I can learn from them.
Thanks David, and good luck with yours!
Radio. These videos are great! I enjoy them as much as the woodworking.
Love the update videos
“Now that I decided to be a radio person moving forward.” Heartbreaking
Someone caught that 😊
Shop Updates is what got me to look at all the table making videos!
If you could - make more shop/tool videos!!
Radio - I enjoy the vlog style shop updates. I really enjoy videos like that because it gives me inspiration. 1) to see what I want in my eventual shop and 2) to get in my "shop" (haphazardly arranged tools in my garage, when the wife is okay parking outside for a little bit)
Glad they can help! Thanks Nick👍🏻
Tv! As a New Yorker in a tiny apt with only room for a few tools, seeing a shop build series is great, I am living through you right now!
I’ll keep it coming!
Radio and tv. Yes to whatever videos you're not boring.
Radio. Tip - If you ever use boxes of drywall mud again, open the box, fold the the flaps down the side and pull the extra plastic bag down the sides. Now you can pick up the box and set one of the sides on the lip of the bucket. Tip the box up and the mud will dump out. The plastic will get sucked down with it. Pull the box out and put your hand into the plastic and pull the dirty side back in. Hands stay clean. Well pretty clean.
Brilliant!
TV, or rather YT these days. It's really cool that you are showing your studio build/redo. Shows a true life, ups and downs which in turn translate into more relatable experience while watching. I don't comment much at all but I certainly watch your content. Thanks for filming and then editing and uploading! It takes a lot of work on top of normal projects and life in general. Keep it up :) J.
I appreciate that Joanna! Lots of ups and downs 😊
I usually avoid Shop tour videos, but I enjoyed watching yours. Thanks for the video.
Oh thanks steve!
Love it Sir! This is the true definition of DIY😊 one man show and it's hard in the end it's worth it . Beautiful looking workshop . Thank you.
Thanks!!
“Radio” guy here, love the shop video’s. It takes a lot of work to get up and running to be able to make the projects that you do and I think that is important to see the “behind” the scenes as well as the finished products
Thanks Jeremy!
Ha! Book people do watch your videos! Though I’m an audiobook person when I’m working. What a difference those lights make. Definitely something to keep in mind for all makers, not just woodworkers.
I love the shop update stuff. I’ve seen you make a lot of table. I love watching working. I could do it all day 👍👍🤪
Thanks pedro!
