Hello Daver. Nice job you don’t have to worry about the tools snobs saying anything If they don’t wanna watch your video they can just leave. As long as you have an opportunity to use your shop at least once a week for stress relief and other things then you’re doing fine. I hope to build my shop in the spring. Greg
I always chuckle at tool snobs. I’m not saying there aren’t higher quality tools (some I own), just that in almost all cases - cheaper has served “ME” better. 😂 It’s kinda like wine to me, these people all tout the expensive stuff, but don’t know that much of what they criticize is made in the same factory.
Looking forward to seeing the pegboard wall get upgraded into whatever you decide. Two strips of French cleat and two cubby/shelf boxes could probably handle a lot of it.
Great video man I like milescraft also a lot of people talk down on their doweling jig works as it should every time for me. The more money a woodworker gets the lazier they get
Hi Daver. Great shop tour, your mobile carts are a brilliant idea. I like your theory about not buying expensive tools at first. Enjoyed looking at you work, you've done great. Tony
Great shop man love the ceiling paint. I started with all basic tools. Job site saw,jigsaw,circular saw. Further you get into your woodworking. Those tools will get replaced by a cabinet saw,bandsaw,and a track saw.
Sheet goods go against the wall under my pegboard or the bench. I tend to break down longer boards when I get them or lay them on the main bench until I’m ready to rough cut everything.
Great video good set up and how much you look to get for your old table saw? I’ve been looking at that one to upgrade my skil 3310 saw I got at garage sale for $50
Nice shop tour.Its coming along . We all have to start somewhere....I did the same thing,but mine is only a 1 car set up. I would like to make a you tube shop tour video someday but not sure how to do it. Introduction beginning editing etc. What camera did you use? Yours came out good. Thanks
Instead of a traditional chalk or whiteboard in this two-car garage shop, I installed a 4K/43-inch flat screen LG television with an Apple TV streaming box for multiple uses - including woodworking tutorials, FaceTime calls and entertainment such as music, sports and movies. The WiFi and Apple AirPlay-connected shop computer is a 12.9-inch iPad Pro with Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Apple Pencil. When necessary, I can directly project drawings on the iPad display to the TV using its connected, Apple TV streaming box. And all are on WiFi.
@@DaverMade Yeah expensive though, but I already had the WiFi network, iPad and one of the few TVs at the time with built-in WiFi 5G, I just needed to add the Apple TV box. Now, some newer LGTV models have Apple TV built-in. Soon, I hope to run an Ethernet line to the garage TV. WiFi 6E is here, but we haven’t purchased one of these new systems yet - but plan to…
I use a chalk board for a drawing of my current project, especially useful with different color checks to note finished parts. BTW I never realized how much my PPE box looks just like Dexter’s kit 🤣🤣🤣😎
Hi Daver, nice shop space. Enjoying seeing the progression in your woodworking journey. I too started with second hand tools and hand me downs. Quick question: how do you keep your shop warm in the cold Cleveland winters? Keep up the good work. Hope to meet someday. Alain.
Thanks! It is pretty well insulated, walls ceiling and door. I also have a Marley Engineered electric wall heater that does a good job heating the space. Right now it’s 4 degrees F and about 50 F in there currently and on just over the middle setting. Acceptable for me, not finishing or painting, but I crank it all the way up for that or wait till the temp goes up a little more outside.
For me, I like the look of gray walls and a black ceiling and it makes the space feel bigger than it actually is. It also helps when filming video (for lighting and look), which is a bonus.
Nice shop. Your right about using used and/or older tools and power equipment. One, they really were made better , and made to last. Everything today is disposable which is killing the planet in the long run. WEN has been around for decades and make really decent tools. I wish I had purchased their 14" bandsaw before it was discontinued. They also do not come up second very often because they have a good track record. As far as woodpecker goes, yes made well ade and usually accurate, but you can get both of those things w cheaper layout tools though. To me, they are a lot of money for hunks of aluminum. You may want to think of a flip cart for some of the powertools you have, keeping like machines on one cart such as planer and jointer on one. I would also recommend FISHER'S SHOP who has made one that is well made and thought out. He sells the plans for it on Etsy.com for $5 and change. Well worth it. Another item to think of acquiring down the road is an oscillating belt/ spindle sander such as Rigids for about $250. I've had one for years, but just recently built it into the countertop running the wall of my shop. I saw someone else had done it in another shop tour. The table on the machine has a miter slot which this other woodworking aligned with the T-track he had recessed into the counter near the mitersaw. Great idea! It gives you so much more length to support longer boards and took less than an hour to install. Best of luck! Ps- if you haven't already rewired the lathe check your homeowners policy for fires and what they will not cover. When it came to wiring my shop, I could have done it myself and saved a bunch of money and done it myself, but my homeowners would not cover a fire in the shop if the wiring was done by an unlicensed electrician, which I'm not. Stumpy Nubs has a video all about using store-bought finishes verses making your own with flakes. A must see.
I feel like I just walked through my shop, lol.. its hard to find these intermediate skill / tool tours. Thank you for this Daver.
Dave, no need to apologize about your tools they are getting the job done. Enjoy what you have and cherish your time in your shop.
"This is where I keep...some disposable gloves, safety goggles, plastic sheets...things that Dexter would have in his car" 🤣
This is a great video. I love the honesty and the the tool mix. Not everyone is all Festool. Bravo

Stress relief. That is a great motivator!

Great workshop. That's all what you need.
"Just more shit down here.." Pretty much describes my entire shop 🤣
Looking forward to seeing the pegboard wall get upgraded into whatever you decide. Two strips of French cleat and two cubby/shelf boxes could probably handle a lot of it.
Love your shop. Just my speed.
I respect you to match you have nice work shop ☺️☺️
Nice shop tour! 🙏🏼✌🏼🤘🏼👍🏼🤙🏼
Great video man I like milescraft also a lot of people talk down on their doweling jig works as it should every time for me. The more money a woodworker gets the lazier they get
Building a shop is not easy everything I have is second hand bought everything used you have a great shop keep going
Nice vid from a new subscriber. No shame in 10” Craftsman miter saw, I have been using one for last two years I picked up for $25.
Hi Daver. Great shop tour, your mobile carts are a brilliant idea. I like your theory about not buying expensive tools at first. Enjoyed looking at you work, you've done great. Tony
Thank you 🙏
Cool real life shop
I have the skilsaw tablesaw too
It's a beast but the fence sucks
I have a similar shop with mid level tools which work
Good video
Nice job. Great tour. You the owner of skil tablesaw yet.
Great shop man love the ceiling paint. I started with all basic tools. Job site saw,jigsaw,circular saw. Further you get into your woodworking. Those tools will get replaced by a cabinet saw,bandsaw,and a track saw.
Thanks for keeping it real. Where do you put sheet goods and longer boards that don’t fit in the lumber rack?
Sheet goods go against the wall under my pegboard or the bench. I tend to break down longer boards when I get them or lay them on the main bench until I’m ready to rough cut everything.

Great job on shop tour
Thanks!

I use a Panasonic GH5. Great small camera with awesome image capability.

Just getting started in this journey also. Liquor bottles for finish, I’ll sub to that lol
Lol, thanks for the sub!

I'm curious as to why you chose to go with such a dark ceiling?
For me, I like the look of gray walls and a black ceiling and it makes the space feel bigger than it actually is. It also helps when filming video (for lighting and look), which is a bonus.
Did you replace the saw stop job site pro already?
I still have it. Just got a new bandsaw, so an upgrade to the next level SawStop will have to wait.
Necesito shop
You never need the high end tools ,that is wasting money
