I’m glad you’ve gotten so much done in a few years and it is done great quality things that will improve your work flow and life. Not too mention you’ve made your shop more valuable!
Car painter here. Few things on the PPS cups. 1. Before attaching the gun to the cup, push up on the liner a little bit and then put the gun on. 2. When taking the gun off the cup, after the air is unhooked, pull the trigger for a few seconds to allow some air back into the cup. This will prevent an absolute mess of material coming out. 3. If you need to spray upside down, hold the gun upside down while pulling the trigger and it will remove all the air from the liner.
I know this building; used to be Lutz Cabinets back in late '90's early 2000's. There were one of the premier cabinet shops of the day. Congrats on the space. I'll have to stop by someday when I'm on that side of town.
Try "convention bridges." A convention bridge is a heavy synthetic rubber threshold that has room underneath for cords. Think of all the electrical cords running over concrete floors in convention halls when it's inhabited by a lot of small booths. Loose cords are a trip-and-fall waiting to happen. I have no idea where to source them - but the idea is sound. Instead of trying to hike up and over thick cables that roll and move, the robot eases up and over on a ramp up with a matching ramp down. You can even mill short pieces of ramp from 2x lumber, which will also work. Give the vacuum extra traction with outdoor traction strips. Best of luck!
One of the BEST shops on YT and in general. Honestly, it is a dream shop for just about anyone. Such an amazing job. I watched every video of the build from purchase to "completion" and loved every one. I love how you have sections/stations for all sorts of things so you can handle just about any project that comes to mind or comes you way. Keep up the great work and great videos. Also, Probably the BEST woodworking shirt merch on the market. The Wu logo there is awesome!!!
For the cables in the CNC room, maybe cut out some slats in the floor and lay down some cable channels there. would keep the floor flat and free of cables for you and the robot to trip over, and you can easily remove them later for some deep cleaning.
Thin 50mm false floor around the outside of the cnc, and shallow ramp to the door Can run cables underneath and have a lip along the edge so it doesn’t fall into/ under the cnc Id also put the drawers under the cnc and surround the frame with walls 6:00
I have thoroughly enjoyed ALL that you're doing and HOW you're doing it. To see the breadth of your skills and your drive to do everything to the best level is encouraging. I can appreciate the tension you're under to build out your shop while under pressure from all sides is noteworthy and appreciated. Well done, sir!
Thanks a lot, that really means a lot! I put an insane amount of time into the planning of this shop build and am finally able to reap the fruits of my labor.
These videos are fantastic and amazing, plus i have been watching your videos for a few years now, i came your channel via your tiling video which was mind-blowing especially the way how you put everything together despite not having a degree in tiling is awesome. I really like your videos man plus their alot of fun as well as enjoyable to watch keep it up 👍🙌🗣️💯.
For my shop (teeny tiny) I purchased an outlet with two plugs, one for the tool and one for the vacuum cleaner. Turn on the table saw; the vacuum cleaner turns on and stays on for 7 seconds after the table saw is turned off. If I wanted to, I could plug in a multi strip for all of the tools on the bench, and the vacuum plugged into the other outlet. Got it from Amazon for about $30. Automatic Vacuum Switch
I started using the PPS system about 5yrs ago and love it. The only thing I would say you definitely need an air dryer on the air line. I live in Alabama and the humidity is tough for that system. Love the new shop and keep the videos coming please!
Yup, I'll definitely be adding a filter/dryer. The system I'm installing is from RapidAir and it includes desiccant, which should hopefully take care of that. Thanks!
@@craftedworkshop piston air compressors generate a lot of moisture (and heat), if you can swing it, you should look into a chiller style dryer... it'll cost you a bit, (and does use some energy), but your tools (and sprayed finishes) will thank you greatly.
for the robo-vac and cables situation - if you don’t want the cables permanently above the ground (need to be stepped over) or snaked down from the ceiling, would some sort of fold-down ‘highway’ for the cables to sit atop whenever you want to vacuum work? similar to a counter pass through or fold-down wall table, going from the wall to the bottom shelf of your CNC table. this does require some slack in the cables and depending on how many cables you have it may not be super feasible, but it’s one option. the other thing that comes to mind is stick a pulley with a hook on it, lower it down to scoop up the cables so the vacuum can go under them. honestly though, the most no-moving option would be to build a super wide cord cover that’s basically a very gentle slope up and down… assuming the lil robot can handle slopes! (edit: based on what someone else suggested that was similar, this is called a convention bridge)
Another option is to cut a channel into the floor for each cable to lay in, so it is flush with the floor. This is also quite a bit more involved, but it will pay off muchly.
@@saint-miscreant You can cover these channels once the cables are in. Of course - with a CNC in the same room - it will still fill up over time, but you clean it once a year with a vacuum or leave it until you actually need to do something down there.
Body shops use Down draft floors to pull the dust to the floor for finnish work but there is a new type of finnish that cures with ultraviolet light as the light passes over it. No chance of dirt getting on the finnish because as that dust falls the surface is dry and it won't stick. Only time will tell if it yellows with age but its supposed to be more durable .
I love the 3m PPS system. I'll echo what the other person said about a dryer. Also make sure your hose is the proper diameter. I used the 1/2 hose and I was able to lay down nice finishes. I sprayed some SW Gallery series that worked really nice without any thinning, super nice system since you have a nice compressor setup.
You should build a fold up 'leaf' to the outfeed table, that way it doesn't take up space when not in use, but can support longer pieces when ripping them
for greater stability, he could put the leaf between the saw and the outfeed table, and add some sort of support on the saw end so the leaf is supported on both sides if nothing else, a fold up leaf would be a good interim fix if he wants to push back the new outfeed table project and do other stuff first
I would kill to just work in a shop like that, let alone own one. You’ve clearly worked really hard and done really well, that’s a lovely shop and I aspire to work towards something similar one day.
you could cut a small channel into the concrete and put a pvc tube to run your cords, then cover over with concrete again. Then you can clean out the room and epoxy concrete the area for that extra clean smooth area for your blue collar rumba to go to work.
Have idea for RoboVac. Use masonary blade cut couple channels for your cords. Or, run some conduit closer to your machines. I really like your set up. You have a good vision of what you want. I also like the show because your relateable. Many of these videos the guys are in a diff league. Your journey and disapointments and successes seem more in line with the regular guy. Your just doing a better job of executing than some of us. And your shop is looking killer!
What about raising the whole CNC room floor (by just a few inches) on 2X4's and Plywood). You could then run power, Dust Control, whatever else under the floor, and also Floor mount anything that need to be super stable. Just a thought
Wow man, congratulations...it's any mans dream shop bro...just stumbled on ya, and I was like great another shop tour lol, really there's 100's of em...but glad I clicked it is cool to see a dream unfold...
I would store wood vertically for my wood inventory as this will allow you to get more inventory in less square feet and allowing you to choose any item without having to unstack and re-stack and to check for best available stock in your inventory and make restocking/filling your space much easier. Ray
Black Forest Woodworking Co. seems to do that, but they also have a massive warehouse-type space to make it possible. I think this shop ceilings are too low to accommodate many of those slabs standing up… unless he wants to cut a hole into his first-floor ceilings lol
@@saint-miscreant I agree, but still store what you can vertically so its accessible without un-stacking, I would be willing to bet that the bottom 1/3 of any stacked sheet wood storage does not get turned with any degree of regularity Ray
@@craftedworkshop Put all stock and paneling less than 9.5' vertically and whatever is left store horizontally so you gain ease of access for most of your wood inventory, this improves your efficiency and verticle storage is far easier to access and construct verticle racks as the floor supports almost all the weight. Thanks for responding. Ray
You’d probably have to 3d print a box to go from this to a female power receptacle or cut the cord end of the lamello and 3d print a shroud Festool part number 490282 OR 489742 I can’t post url without them being stripped, but there is a made up part on printables for this already.
Suggestion for cord coverage, there’s a product called cord conduit. You can get short or longer lengths and cut to your desired length, plus it’s not permanent in case you need to move machinery.
Awesome!! Looks Great. Hey, maybe one of these days can you do a review /video on your Voyager Drill Press . I’m really thinking about buying one. I would like your thoughts on it. Pros and cons. Thanks have a great week.😎
It’s been a lot of fun watching you renovate that shop over the last few years. For the table saw out-feed table; have you considered another table saw? I’ve seen some guys set-up self opposing table saws, dedicating one to dado blades. I only bring it up because I’m considering it myself.
I had a Top 20 Lamello Biscuit machine. I think they have now released it again as a Classic X. Lamello is a Swiss company that invented the biscuit joining system and I used mine for years for a multitude of projects. It never failed to work flawlessly for me.
only thing i can imagine to help with the wire situation with the robovac is 3d printing some covers/ramps or elevating them if it's not an area you walk through often
Do you have a video where you detailed the shelves using the Fastcap Speed braces? I just picked up a bunch and am planning a similar setup but would like to see what others have done. Spacing and whether or not you put a fixed shelf on top of the brackets would be helpful.
Awesome shop!!! I’ve following your channel for quite some time. Saw that you posted your garage sale and meet and great. I will be in the Asheville area the first week of October. I was curious if it would be possible just to drive by and say hello. Totally up to you and don’t feel like you have to say yes. I 100% would understand if you’re busy or whatever. Just a fan throwing it out there
Idea for power cords but it’s probably the most expensive and most work. Cut the floor, remove concrete, dig out and place over sized conduit in the floor to nearest wall. Replace concrete. Or just run all electric cords up and run across the ceiling. Just ideas
Hey mate, re the power connection to the festool vac... a company called Neutrik make true1 connectors which are a twist lock style thing. Used a lot in the pro audio and lighting world. You might have to swap everything over to that style though but they are easy enough to retrofit
Couldn't you build mini boxes around the cords for the robot vacuum so it engages the bumpers and redirects? Or if you could route them in one area and make that a non- vacuum area on your map? Then just use a compressed air line to blow that area clean to another part of the cnc room and run the vac in those areas?
Regarding the outfeed table… maybe slide thaw table away from the saw and then add a deeper top on it that goes back to meet the saw and nothing will fall through. Then you can add drawers in the cavity that’s already there? Just a thought. Also, will you be painting the outside of your shop? You’ve spent all of this making incredible upgrades on the inside. The outside could use some love as well.
I kind of like that the outside of the shop looks terrible as it keeps random people from snooping when I'm away. We'll see, hah. I could def repurpose the current table but I'd rather just making something even better!
You have two compressors so inter-connect the tanks it will increase what you can do as now you have 160 gals. of compressed air on hand which lets you run at a higher vol. for longer periods before the compressor cannot keep up or set second compressor to come online 5-10 PSI lower stageing the compressors and doubling your capacity. Secondly filter compressed air and if you can afford it a chiller/dryer to remove the moisture and oil from the comperssed air. Clean dry air will make every piece of pneumatic equipment you have happy and last longer. Dry clean air is especially important/needed for paint spray applications and will make your finishes better immediately and reduce the time spent buffing/sanding your finishes. Spend money on your guns this is the short-cut to becomming compentent at spray painting and applying finishes, good painters can produce/achieve quality outcomes with lessor paint guns. People learning will benefit immediately by using high end expensive guns which will pay for themselves quickly in reduced time and higher quality outcomes. Always filter any paint or finish before filling the gun, clogs are a pain and will surely happen without filtering. Ray Stormont
Great shop renovation! You guys did a fantastic job. I'm not sure but it looked to me as though your CM hoist is hung upside down. The fixed hook should attach to the trolley and the traveling hook should be attached to the load.
@@craftedworkshop I get that it was more visible in the video. In my experience in the construction trades it's easier to rig the load without having the hoist part in the way, just sayin!
Amazing shop! I think the hoist is upside down. the hook should clip on the beam carriage and be "fixed" the chain and hook should be the only thing going up and down not the whole unit like it did in your video.
I've been following this for a while excellent build. That is so nice! Reference to the outfeed table, don't get me wrong I like new stuff too, but couldn't you just move the table out a little bit to make up for that distance on the balance? But I know it's nice to have new stuff and makes for a good project. Which brings us back to view it. Nonetheless excellent excellent excellent build on this video.
I could definitely repurpose the current one but it's honestly not worth the trouble when I can start from scratch and build something that'll last for years. I'll probably repurpose the current table elsewhere in the shop and could even use it as a MFT style table since it has dog holes.
@@craftedworkshop understood. Also I ordered the bench that you showed. It'll really help since I'm disabled and I can lower and raise it as needed. Didn't get the table portion as I've already got that I'll just trim it down just a little bit. Thanks for the good videos!
By absolute coincidence, we'll be up in Asheville that weekend of the garage sale. Gotta figure out how to work a stop there into our plans maybe. Shop looks good. My only concern is in the spray booth, how long that Mini Split HVAC system will last depending on chemicals and such.
It really just made the most sense for this space. The joists were far from flat and weren't even on layout, so something like drywall or plywood would have been a nightmare. It's also really nice to have the option to easily run electrical for future tool additions.
I'm not really sure what my options are. There's no vapor barrier below the slab so epoxy isn't really an option. I could paint it I guess but I'm thinking rubber mats might be the best choice.
I've printed a ton of tool/battery holders for the shop and of course all that Gridfinity, plus I'm always finding little niche things I can create prints for when assembling stuff. Still working on my Fusion modeling but expect more printing in the future.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I've tried to build a shop where I can build just about anything I want. Also glad you like the shirt!
For the cables in the CNC room, maybe cut out some slats in the floor and lay down some cable channels there. would keep the floor flat and free of cables for you and the robot to trip over, and you can easily remove them later for some deep cleaning.
Has it really been 3 years already? Man… time flies… I faithfully watched that whole build series

for your cords I would grind a groove in the concrete for the cords to sit in. can easily be patched if not needed later
Wow first time here. With 1+ million subscribers and he answered ALL of the comments!
I had a Top 20 Lamello Biscuit machine. I think they have now released it again as a Classic X. Lamello is a Swiss company that invented the biscuit joining system and I used mine for years for a multitude of projects. It never failed to work flawlessly for me.

For the robo-vac, since CNC is permanent, you could cut a shallow channel in the concrete. Put cable in there and a cover over top the channel
That could definitely work!
It would be nice to use the hoist
To move 4x8 sheets onto the cnc router table. And to the track saw table or a panel saw.
I am deeply envious of your setup.

maybe add a 1 inch tall platform around the sides of cnc with small ramp on the ends.
Couldn't you build mini boxes around the cords for the robot vacuum so it engages the bumpers and redirects? Or if you could route them in one area and make that a non- vacuum area on your map? Then just use a compressed air line to blow that area clean to another part of the cnc room and run the vac in those areas?
Congrats
Regarding the outfeed table… maybe slide thaw table away from the saw and then add a deeper top on it that goes back to meet the saw and nothing will fall through. Then you can add drawers in the cavity that’s already there? Just a thought. Also, will you be painting the outside of your shop? You’ve spent all of this making incredible upgrades on the inside. The outside could use some love as well.
I kind of like that the outside of the shop looks terrible as it keeps random people from snooping when I'm away. We'll see, hah. I could def repurpose the current table but I'd rather just making something even better!
Cool Dawes poster
Yes, they probably were already installed to prevent the compressor from losing pressure. you probably have them on your compressors.
Looking good
Thanks 👍
Looks up vacuum, immediately shuts down computer! $1500 for the base model for a beefy rumba is wild!
Everything is really nice, except the Floor!?
Are you going to upgrade it in the Future? Skimcoat with Concrete or Epoxy?
You have two compressors so inter-connect the tanks it will increase what you can do as now you have 160 gals. of compressed air on hand which lets you run at a higher vol. for longer periods before the compressor cannot keep up or set second compressor to come online 5-10 PSI lower stageing the compressors and doubling your capacity. Secondly filter compressed air and if you can afford it a chiller/dryer to remove the moisture and oil from the comperssed air. Clean dry air will make every piece of pneumatic equipment you have happy and last longer. Dry clean air is especially important/needed for paint spray applications and will make your finishes better immediately and reduce the time spent buffing/sanding your finishes. Spend money on your guns this is the short-cut to becomming compentent at spray painting and applying finishes, good painters can produce/achieve quality outcomes with lessor paint guns. People learning will benefit immediately by using high end expensive guns which will pay for themselves quickly in reduced time and higher quality outcomes. Always filter any paint or finish before filling the gun, clogs are a pain and will surely happen without filtering. Ray Stormont
Any recommendations on the best way to inter-connect the tanks? I want to do this but it doesn't seem as straightforward as I imagined.
To fix the outfeed table issue with your table saw, can you rotate the outfeed table as a temporary fix?
Great shop renovation! You guys did a fantastic job.
I'm not sure but it looked to me as though your CM hoist is hung upside down. The fixed hook should attach to the trolley and the traveling hook should be attached to the load.
You can attach it in either direction according to the instructions. Easier to film with it closer to my head, hah!
@@craftedworkshop I get that it was more visible in the video. In my experience in the construction trades it's easier to rig the load without having the hoist part in the way, just sayin!
Amazing shop! I think the hoist is upside down. the hook should clip on the beam carriage and be "fixed" the chain and hook should be the only thing going up and down not the whole unit like it did in your video.
When we come out for the upgrade kit for that drill press I'll see about getting one to you for testing and feedback purposes ;)
That sounds great! What will the upgrade entail?
@@craftedworkshop New HMI with touch screen and much better display
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Awesome
I've been following this for a while excellent build. That is so nice! Reference to the outfeed table, don't get me wrong I like new stuff too, but couldn't you just move the table out a little bit to make up for that distance on the balance? But I know it's nice to have new stuff and makes for a good project. Which brings us back to view it. Nonetheless excellent excellent excellent build on this video.
I could definitely repurpose the current one but it's honestly not worth the trouble when I can start from scratch and build something that'll last for years. I'll probably repurpose the current table elsewhere in the shop and could even use it as a MFT style table since it has dog holes.
@@craftedworkshop understood. Also I ordered the bench that you showed. It'll really help since I'm disabled and I can lower and raise it as needed. Didn't get the table portion as I've already got that I'll just trim it down just a little bit. Thanks for the good videos!
By absolute coincidence, we'll be up in Asheville that weekend of the garage sale. Gotta figure out how to work a stop there into our plans maybe. Shop looks good. My only concern is in the spray booth, how long that Mini Split HVAC system will last depending on chemicals and such.
That's awesome, hope to see you then!
Cable ramps might be able to help
Damn must be so much humidity still to have that big of a dehu sitting there
We all want to watch the upgraded upstairs. So. Let’s get after it.
Just need $30k to get it insulated 🤯
And of course I'm in Asheville two weeks before your event 😂
Dang!
So why don't you turn out feed table round so it's longer and your wood will not tip that's what would do
I don't want to have to move it around ideally, just another thing to do that eats into efficiency.
I remember you complaining about the drop ceiling in your garage shop so many years ago, what made you choose to use it again here?
It really just made the most sense for this space. The joists were far from flat and weren't even on layout, so something like drywall or plywood would have been a nightmare. It's also really nice to have the option to easily run electrical for future tool additions.
What are you using for drying your filament?
The model I have is discontinued but it's basically a repurposed food dehydrator. Works great!
First time I hear someone say they love that truck.
I also love my lightning.
You: alright guys, it has been three years ….
Me: 3 YEARS!?
Time flys son
Harvey just redid their big dust extractor. maybe a future upgrade?
Perhaps!
Maybe get a loft system over the compressor corner?? Take a look at Taylor Ray he has built 2 in his car shop 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
I'll check that out! The ceiling is only 10 feet tall but I would probably have room.
Love it, qre you gonna do anything to the floor though? It looks a bit rough in comparison with the rest of the shop
I'm not really sure what my options are. There's no vapor barrier below the slab so epoxy isn't really an option. I could paint it I guess but I'm thinking rubber mats might be the best choice.
Cute earrings.
Enjoyed your current video on your new shop. I noticed you don't have the Oneida Dust Cobra anywhere. Maybe it is too small for your shop?
Thanks!
d
I sold that years ago when I upgraded to my first Clearvue machine. The Dust Cobra was great but a little undersized for running permanent ductwork.
@@craftedworkshop Thanks! Your new shop looks great!!
Do you ever build anything for the Perkins Brothers builds?
how much are you selling the powermatic filter for
What kind of things do you typically 3D print?
I've printed a ton of tool/battery holders for the shop and of course all that Gridfinity, plus I'm always finding little niche things I can create prints for when assembling stuff. Still working on my Fusion modeling but expect more printing in the future.
F-150 Lightning gang. I think John Malecki has one too.
Yup! Great truck
