    Hey William ...
    Really good tour!! It was nice to get a sense of just what you've had to do to become successful. So many people jump head first into a new business without any forthought of what they are in for. A lot of what you do to make ends meet can be viewed by some as just too much additional work to make it worthwhile. Those are the people that need to be working for someone else because they just don't have what it takes. You have made the very best of what's available to you and it works. You are to be commended ... it's a pretty slick operation.
    I was just taking a mental inventory of the equipment you have managed to stuff into your available space and I'm stunned, talk about doing the "shuffle".
    Again, you should be proud of what you've accomplished as well as the product you manage to crank out of these facilities. You three are really quite amazing.
    Cheers!!

    Let's go! Love watching a shop punching far above its weight and showing others what's possible. Filmmaking is on point too, nice that you invested the time and resources into making your shots crisp and consistently graded. Keep that quality level up and you're gonna crush it!

    Great looking shop. It’s great to see someone from my neck of the desert on UA-cam. I am in Cave Creek and have been here all of my 64 years. Looks like my old neighborhood. Love the tools and how you set everything up. Gives me inspiration to get out in my mess of a shop and get it organized. If you ever go to Rockler look me up. Thanks again for the tour. Good luck

    Great tour. Looks like you are a very practical fellow. My dad raised a family and put me and my brother through college out of a 2 car garage. He was a cabinet maker and home builder. Lots of space is nice but you can do lots with much less as you have shown. Keep up the good work!

    • @WilliamDouglasCo

      Frankie Hunt I really appreciate that. I was really hesitant about opening up and showing my shop as it felt very vulnerable. I know there are trolls out there and people who want to watch the world burn. It’s great to see that I am getting a positive response from the woodworking community.

    Thanks for the tour. My shop space is isn't much bigger at 231 sq.ft., and you know the deal. One has to be very creative. I don't have the "attic" space you do given that my ceilings are only 9ft. high, but I do have a 12x12 shed for wood storage that doubles as parking for my yard equipment. My wood shop is a project in of itself and I've been able to glean many ideas on how to utilize the space from videos like yours. I think flip-top tool stands and French cleat walls are going to be my friends.
    Oh, on your transition from inside to outside the shop... I'm kind of in the same boat. If you end up going with concrete, think about either running a trench with iron trench grates or (maybe better yet) a series of 1/2" U channel embedded in the concrete across the threshold to channel water away. You'll still be able to roll your equipment in and out of the shop. www.ironagegrates.com/product-category/trench-grates/
    or
    www.watts.com/our-story/brands/dead-level
    You could maybe slope it to drain back to the alley.

      @@WilliamDouglasCo You're welcome. That's the beautiful thing about the maker community. We all get great ideas from each other. For me, this is a hobby and a way to bless others. I've got a lot of respect for younger folls like you embracing the skilled trades, such as woodworking. I went down the ladder-climbing route in the IT world and ended up at the other end a very bitter person. Woodworking and interacting with other makers is very healing and folks like you, Izzy Swan, Matt Cremona, William Ng, April Wilkerson, James Hamilton, and many others are part of the healing journey. Wishing you all the best and continued success in your efforts.

    Awesome to see what you did in such a small space. I used to live in a 1200 sq foot house around 24th and Campbell, so I spent a long time looking into a 200 sq ft shop in my backyard. We ended up having a second child, so we moved to Shea and the 51 and I got a two-car garage that I got to take over. Can't wait to see what else you put on the channel!

    CNC in the loft. This is the world's best clubhouse. This setup with the building and the tent and the deck in the backyard is somehow way cooler than a commercial shop. The only critique would be that you need a bigger backyard so there's more separation between working area and the house. A small lawn to really separate the two would make it perfect for me.

    Man that is awesome! Congrats to you for making it happen! We have almost 10k shop, but I have spent plenty of my career working in basements, driveway, barn, etc., cause that's what I had. it's inspiring seeing what people can do in a small space.

      That’s really kind of you. Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment and watch our video! One day we will be in a shop space again I’m sure! I can’t imagine what 10k Sq/ft would be like 🙌🏻

      @@WilliamDouglasCo Well, with your planning and level of organization, it would probably feel like 20k sqft! The only real problem with large shops is that they lend themselves to correspondingly large piles of jigs, fixtures, sawdust, scraps, and crap.....I can't imagine what it would be like to have a CNC machine.

    I was just browsing my home page and saw another woodworker in Phoenix. I love the way you've gone about working around your space limitations. I'm just getting started replacing the tools I lost after a death in the family and multiple moves across the country. Your shop is an inspiration for me. Can't wait to see what y'all do next. Definitely subscribed.

    I'm fascinated by your videos, William. It's a breath of fresh air watching you and your team work and how you go about your daily working life. Your videos give us a snap shot of what it's like to be a successful woodworker, who is self-taught and has had to go the hard way to reach and complete goals regarding woodworking.
    I've been in the same job sector (bicycle mechanic) for 21 years this September and although I still love bicycles, I'm really looking for a new challenge. For the past 18 months, I've been a part-time mature student (travelling after work to go to college two days a week) and the subject I've chosen is... you guessed it, woodworking. I'm in my second year training to be a joiner and have recently found out that the UK government have cut funding for the upcoming 3rd year, which has made me lose a bit of hope for the future. Anyway, I'm sorry to babble, so I'll cut a long story short. Watching your videos has genuinely made me realise what's possible; that I am on the right path and importantly, to not give up hope. So thanks for sharing your woodworking journey and tips. I and I'm sure many others, really appreciate it. Chris from the UK.

    • @WilliamDouglasCo
      @WilliamDouglasCo  4 роки тому +1

      Chris Morris thank you so much for such an awesome heartfelt comment. UA-cam is incredibly difficult for many reasons and hearing messages like this keep us going. Keep on your path. You’ve already dedicated 2 years of education in the field. You have to follow through. That’s the most important part of woodworking. The follow through.

    • @chm1701
      @chm1701 4 роки тому

      William Douglas Co. Thanks so much. You thoroughly deserve my above comment, since I have found so many inspirational people on UA-cam to help me on this journey, of which I can definitely say you are added to my list of inspirations.
      And the thing is, I’m 40 this year, and I’ve spent so much time in the same industry and the same job, that it’s pretty freaking scary to move on to something new. This inevitably creates self-doubt, but seeing a hardworking guy such as yourself, create such incredible work and all from being self-taught, is absolutely fantastic and what I needed to see for encouragement at the moment.
      Anyway, enough of me babbling. Thanks so much for taking the time to respond and I hope you all have a great day.

    Interesting Business model, thats out-of-the-Box! Great idea, keep Overhead low and profit high.
    I just bought a Dust Collector (Steelcase- China) just like yours for $50.00, its like new. I was skeptical about this manufacture, (they are out of business now) because I had never heard about them. However, when I researched them, on several Trade Forums, it turns out that they got a favorable rating, so I bought it. I've found it to be fantastic so far, very powerful and quiet! I noticed in your Shop, that you only use it as a Single Stag. Another Poster recommended adding a "Thein Separator," I would recommend an Oneida Cyclone, much better performance, and much longer intervals between cleaning out the Filter Bag. Additionally, you could connect the Dust Collector, located on the ground floor, to also provide Dust Collection in the upstairs Shop, by using a Remote Control device. like the "Long Range III," $60.00, extra Remote $20.00.
    I've subscribed to your site, look forward to more videos
