Please get yourself a CO alarm if you haven't already. Not great to be using fuel burning heater in an unventilated room, particularly whilst you're in there too. An electric heater has the added benefit of not forming water vapor (as a product of combustion) as excessive moisture may lead to damp, rust and/or mold in your workshop
They’re great little heaters for camping, but don’t use it in a workshop or shed.The amount of water vapour these heaters give off is crazy encouraging damp and then mould.
Need to get yourself a Chinese diesel heater, nice dry heat. I've run mine on red diesel for 3 or 4 years now and I've no rust problems like I was getting with my open flame propane unit.
Nice shelf of Olympus you have there, I always wanted a black OM2. The collective noun for too many tablesaws should be “an embarrassment” as in riches.
Happy New Year Matt, i wish you a happy and productive year. I don't do resolutions i just try to be a better person than I was last year. it's enough for me. all my best.
If you get the chance, I highly recommend spending a day pottering around Dungeness for photography. It’s like an alien landscape, never been anywhere else like it. Used to spend ages there with my buddy when I had a photoblog years ago. I was trying to post a photo each day, and one day spent in Dungeness would often give me 2-3 weeks worth of content.
Matt, with your outdoor garden space it appears you have your workshop, gravel area with lights for relaxing, a storage shed then grass area behind storage shed (could be wrong on that front). If this is the case is there a reason you did not make the workshop larger and extend it back further and possibly make the storage shed bigger. Willing to accept we all need a place to dry clothes in the summer 😀
It's good to have newyear resolutions, I hope you manage to stick to them. Mine is to stay alive as I've just been diagnosed with a major heart problem a week after my 52nd birthday 😳🫣
Thanks Matt, and a Happy New Year to you, sounds like our resolutions should be quite similar, good luck with yours, hope you manage to find a new balance in life going forward into 2025 !
Nicely done! Even though you don't want to be called Mr Motivator, I felt very much motivated by you and have already posted two of my plans for this year as videos on my channel. Thank you so much for that! Regards, Etna.
Chronicle it properly 2 vids per week. Could inspire most of us. Just dont leave it more than once a week. I would like to task you with a selfie of yourself & a real badger. Would make a great photo for the shed. Take us on the journey on a regular basis though. Good luck. Job on!!
Put a roof between the shed and the workshop for timber storage? doesnt have to be fully enclosed and could even be see-thru, but would make a world of difference as you could put shelves in etc? just a thought ...
When I was younger I never made New Year’s resolutions. Now I’m middle aged I need to make them to make sure life isn’t just filled with work and ferrying teenagers around. I went for a reasonably thorough goal setting approach a while ago, but really it was too much. So I’m simplifying this year. I’m 100% behind making sure the house works as a house. They’re always a work in progress but it would be good to break the back of it - banish the table saws..!
I can see a workshop extension coming in 2025. Question is whether you’ll extend up or out - an upstairs would be cool ! The house looks tidier than it was when you were using it as a workshop, much less tools so you should celebrate the success
Love the video! Definitely work on my work life balance for my New Year’s resolution! You mentioned your love of photography, and I know you are/have been a chef in the past, with that are we likely to see any more from kitchen ramblings? Love those videos!
As a retired national press photographer if you would like some photo advice ( I have over 45 years experience and I am a ARPS and ABIPP photographer). You have helped me in my woodwork so helping you will be a pleasure.
Some good resolutions there Matt, I look forward to seeing how you reorganise things in the workshop and shed. As for the photography, why not give yourself 12 monthly themes to take pictures on so it helps focus your mind on what to take photos of.
I feel your pain regarding a small workshop. And even more when filming. What space is not occupied by machines has a camera stand in it... Have you considered down-prioritizing the miter saw? I think in that space I would do whatever I could to have the table saw and the bandsaw up and available. Cheers, have a great new year and good luck keeping it tidy :D
Matt. Happy New Year.... Ypur house is a bit like mine, only I have no Badgers BUT.... I have lots of tools but hopefully Workshop build in Spring. Great ideas for vids. Bob (Weston super Mare)
My goal this year is to make planter boxes and customized outdoor furniture. Second better insulate my workshop and add a solar air heater system for the cold days ( in Montreal). I hope you can achieve your goals and quite a nice selection of Cameras 📷 and lenses.
My res as such is to try and keep my space tidy, even more so as it only measures roughly 4mtrs x 2metres. It just gets like a sxxt tip. I have started the month by putting things on castors for roll out use and sorting storage. Also need to plan things in advance..🤦🤦🤔
Could you bin off the mitre saw? I have the same issue in my workshop and only ever set it up unless I absolutely have to. I get by with a crosscut sled, speed square and circ saw
Most of your cameras look like film cameras, and some seem to be larger than 35mm format. A video about your camera collection would be interesting. When you take photos, do you use a film camera or a digital?
Anyone who is serous about woodworking shouldn't display their tools like some sort of collection, space in a workshop is always in demand. These tips will help anyone, 1) never put a raised floor in a workshop so you can wheel out any big tools and use them in the garden, if you already have a raised floor make a same height raised platform outside so all the woodworking mess can be left to rot away on the grass. 2) if you have limited space make carts, a table saw will go on the top of the cart and underneath is room for a thickness plainer, a surface plainer will fit on a cart that's lower than a workbench to be pushed under when not in use. Don't put a massive armchair in your shed and complain about not having enough space, make a stool with 3 legs that fits your worktop, 1 you can use it to work from and 2 it doesn't take up a lot of space. When building a shed go as high as you are allowed, my workshop is 9ft sloping down to 8ft 6in, use treated larch for the outside and reclaimed joists on the inside, rest the joists on slate. Don't try and make a workshop like the inside of your home, what you do in there is messy. Large tools should be limited, bandsaw, table saw, thickness planner, surface planner and lathe, all the rest should be table top tools or tools that can go on shelves when not in use.

Every kitchen needs a Sawstop 🤣
I mean, what else you gonna cut the bread with?! 🤷♂
I think so to
@@theKNI Ever see the Milwaukee Sandwich? 🤣
@ Cutting veg on the bandsaw, peeling potatoes on the lathe. I think I'm suddenly about to renovate my kitchen.
Everyone knows Bosch table saws make perfect tv stands. And, if you fold the legs, a nice coffee table.

I am a hobbyist photographer too and would be very interested to see you photography videos👍
It’s nice to have goals! I’m thinking we might see you with another table saw! There are some you haven’t used yet so it is possible.
Nice shelf of Olympus you have there, I always wanted a black OM2. The collective noun for too many tablesaws should be “an embarrassment” as in riches.
The OM2 is a lovely little camera
Love to see some more kitchen/cooking videos.
just a thought......... but a bigger workshop would solve a lot of problems, and there is that whole unused grassy bit at the bottom of your garden 😃😃
Haha no more sheds
Good luck with all that!

HNY Matt, video idea….. Bosch coffee table? Two birds with one stone 😂. Keep the videos coming always enjoyable

I’m very sorry to hear that. I will keep to mine if you keep to yours.
Good goals for ‘25!
Thank you
👍👍👍. Thanks Matt
Looking forward to the projects, Matt! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you
1:47 This is my problem too.

You have a nice leather armchair in the workshop - so it seems perfectly reasonable to have a table saw in the house 😂
I see where you’re headed with the channel, and I think it’s a great new direction for you.
Hi Matt, A busy year ahead of you and with your new years resolutions I hope it all works out, catch you soon take care
Good luck. Can't wait to see the photos
Thank you.
Sounds good
Thank you
what's the middle shed used for or is that still for your lodger
You'll have no trouble finding a home for the saw stop!

I think some manageable goals would work well for me. Hopefully I will keep to them

Yes I have some of the same problems. My shop needs sorting out! Cheers

Hi Matt, Understood. Looking forward to your next video.
That space between the two sheds is crying out for a covered storage area 🤔🤔
Matt, what about your cooking channel? Would love to see more there too

Thank you. I’m in a photography group that sets monthly challenges

I think in that space I would do whatever I could to have the table saw and the bandsaw up and available. Cheers, have a great new year and good luck keeping it tidy :D
I wouldn't be to hard in yourself Matt. Most bachelor pads have a pool table in the living room and a motorbike in the hallway.😊
Haha if only I had room for that

Casters on things definitely helps.
Sorry mate but I like the wood based videos. Video of you hanging out with some tree surgeons maybe?
You need another shed!

Definitely more cooking videos on your other channel
Hi Matt, a bit late but happy new year, please can you do more of your videos (Kitchen Ramblings)
Happy new year. I just don’t have time for them
My resolution was to start a UA-cam channel-so I did! (Shameless plug) 😅
yo
He did say next year (2026) for the *** saws, anyway we are now allowed to badger him about his "resolutions", sell some stuff, no attic ?
The path to hell is formed from good resolutions. So no resolutions for me. A path would be much to narrow to arrive in hell in style.
Just the 3 tablesaws? Sell me one ( very cheap) 😊
Looks like the house is being selfish and taking over the workshop!!

Or just do what makes you happy
Yes I would go with that
This is the uk… of course someone has scratched the L out of the sign PUBLIC FOOTPATH ONLY
Your gona need a bigger shed
Always need more space
Organisation isn't enough. You need a bigger workshop for all those machines.
