LET'S REORGANISE the WORKSHOP!!

- Опубліковано 21 вер 2023
- I had a long list of things I want to change about my workshop - and in this video I'm ticking off as many of them as possible! I'm going to be exploring storage solutions, de-cluttering, clamp storage, drawers, hammer and mallet racks, tool storage, battery charging station, table saw in feed and outfeed, and more!

This episode was so extremely productive! Wow youve got a LOT done!
I can appreciate reaching the point where you're ready to be finished, but what a rush when you start working on your next projects.
I have turned something over 1 metre long... about 1971, at school: a walnut standard lamp for my mother in two parts with a table for her thimbles, knitting needles, etc while she sat in her 'drawing room'. She asked me to make it. Used it till she died in 2012. Such a lathe would be vast machine for a typical UK workshop
I can’t think of a bigger endorsement of a product then Keith Brown buying not one but TWO brand new expensive drawers! Good for you Keith, you deserve it.
You regard £120 as expensive? Have you seen the price of kitchen cupboards? I, for one, spend more time in the workshop than the kitchen...
Love a good rbb workshop reorganisation, just like the original shed where it all started
Wow. You seem to have created so much more space. That last shot of the whole workshop is brilliant. There are certainly some good ideas in there for the rest of us, too. Great job, as ever, Keith.
Love all the workshop changes Keith! The Bisley drawers are a classic! Fancy some Shadow Foam in some of those 44 drawers? :D We do have Green!
So much space for activities! Bunk bed drawers next?
It's looking good, a lot more user space a nice refit wall storage cabinets and shelving . Your workshop will work a lot better now , Great video 😀👍
I am so happy to see how far you have come. To think I found this channel from a dog house video, and now years later I still enjoy every video 🎉👏
Wow, thank you!
Having room for activities is always a massive bonus.
clever solutions and your shop keeps getting more efficient! Great job, Keith! Looking forward to your quest to find a better/smaller lathe!
Really got a lot done there! Just moved house myself so might have to steal a few ideas when setting the shop back up. I got a couple of those bisley metal units for I think £20 each from a second hand shop over a decade ago and they're stupidly useful.
The reorganized workshop looks beautiful!! I love how everything is perfectly spaced out on the walls ☺️☺️
Loads of good storage and reorganisations there Keith, I’m jealous, I’ve only got 18 drawers in my workshop, but they were all hand-made and in fact are the only drawers I have ever made!
Be worth a workshop tour when you’ve finished, do cover all the little storage solutions you’ve done in the past like the clamp rack tubes and the new hammer rack
Clever solution using the string and tap to fit the vacuum tubing. Overall, your shop reorganization is inspiring and appears to have been a great success. Congrats on your ability to make space from nothing! :)
Yep I liked that one too! I shall try this when I get round to sorting out my dust extraction properly as it's half done!
What??? a nice blue!!! LOL I like the string solution for the Dust. I saw a video awhile back which used cut up bike inertube. That works well for me. About seven years ago, a client wanted turned legs for a dining table I was making. So I bought a lathe, sized for the legs. Then they changed there mind 😬. Since then I have upgraded a few times and can now tun up to 1.2m in length. Which I have used to make a pennant (flag) pole for a small boat. Large will do a little but little cannot do large. ( quote from Paul Sellers). I'm lucky I have the space.
Hello from St Augustine Florida. Great video have followed you for a while. One thing I will say no matter how many cubby's you have for scrap wood you will never have enough.
What is it about us humans... I laughed, but felt your pain when you were removing the metal wall cabinet and precariously balancing it on your head. I would've done the very same thing and faced at least 5 minutes in front of my good lady, explaining why I didn't ask for help. Your workshop is looking fantastic, and has given me some inspiration to crack on with mine 😊
I recently reorganised my shop. I got rid of my scroll saw, band saw, drill press, jointer. I have more space and have more fun building
Looking good! I made the same mistake when buying my first lathe. I got a Nova Galaxy, which is 16x44 inches. I've never turned anything close to 44" long (the max was a tool handle around 22" long), but I have wanted to turn bowls larger than 16" diameter. I scavenged some huge logs from downed trees after our big storms last winter.
My advice would be to get something a lot shorter, but with as much "swing" (diameter) as you can fit in the space and are willing to pay for. A good alternative to a big, expensive lathe with a huge swing is a medium one (maybe 14-18") with the option to turn "outboard", by pivoting the headstock to the side or sliding it to the end of the bed. That is a great option for a small shop because when the lathe is in its normal setup it doesn't take up extra space.
Great video Keith as always, next secret project-extend workshop by 8 metres without the wife finding out 😜😊
Bisley is the best purchase ever!
Wow, that opened up a lot of space. While green is my favorite color, my “workshop” tends towards machinery grey. It’s a Navy thing. 😊
So many boxes in one video brilliant. Your shop looks like have more space now nice and tidy. Nice job.
Never even thought about having cabinets with sliding doors in the workshop. Once painted it would have not been out of place in my living room.... Great work Keith
Love the use of the family fortunes sound effect 😀
One of my favorite shades of blue.
That was a lot of improvements! Nice work. I’m loving all these workshop videos.
Thanks from Canada!
Looking great keith
So one key takeaway seems to be - use strong containers (e.g. shelves, drawer units, etc) and go floor to ceiling for storage: to free up as much space in the garage as possible.
This inspires me to reorganize my shop. Thanks!!
Love the videos and enjoyed this one. Have you ever thought about putting solar panels on the roof of your workshop. You could generate power to charge your batteries and for your ceiling lights.
Excellent episode. I confess I was hoping for 42 drawers.
Looking good. You have so much more room now.
Love this kind of video and it’s cool to see how you reorganize to maximize your shop
A great , and cheap, way to make custom fit extraction adaptors is to use an old 2 litre pop bottle and 'heat shrink' it around your tools and extractor pipes.
The work flow seems so much better and I can see more floor space now. Good job on designing it. I can tell you put a lot of thoughts on this. 🎉
When you were counting the number of boxes you had built I couldn't help but picture the Count from Sesame Street counting and the flashing numbers matched up with the lightning strikes. Just needed some bats LOL
🤣I should have overdubbed that!
That looks brilliant wish my workshop was tidy as that 👌
Looks great Keith. Nice fresh look!
I’m so impressed by your reorganisation skills! We’ll done!
I wish I had a shop of that size. I enjoy watching this type of stuff
It's looking fantastic there already, Keith! Awesome work! 😃
Looking forward to see the rest!
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thanks, you too!
Nice updates Keith! Thanks for sharing them with us!💖👍😎JP
Looking good!
Looks great, well done!!
Shop projects tend to be the best ones, well done.
That was really well worth your time and effort, Keith! It's a huge project that yielded a top outcome. Many thanks for sharing. The green theme rules!! Don
Got an idea for you:
Mount a small fan in the enclosure for the air compressor pointed towards the cooling fins. Plug the fan and compressor into the same outlet, control the outlet with a switch. That way the fan will cool the compressor when on, and it will be hard for you to forget to shut the compressor off. I did that in my garage after I tipped the compressor over and broke the cooling fan off of the compressor. My intention was to cool the compressor, but it has worked great as a reminder to shut the compressor off at night.
Great video! Inspiring!!
What a cool video, I really like the pace and there's a lot of relatable stuff in there!
Love a good workshop video. I sit in mine for ages just staring at stuff I’m not happy about.
Well done!
You've definitely increased the space a lot Keith,
There's no bigger improvement than space especially when it comes down to being about to adapt.
Great video mate 👍🏼
Love the Step Brothers reference!
Great stuff, I know what I'm doing tomorrow!! Cheers Kieth, see you on the next one
Another great video Keith!
Bisley draws are soo handy, Raaco tray compartments fit in them
SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES!
very very nice. this satisfies my inner organization goblin
Great video mate, really enjoyed it and gave me lots of inspiration 👍
Looks great, Keith! Efficient use of space is so important. Also, congrats on Baby Brown!
Very nice !
Dang man you are putting in work . enjoying the videos.
So jealous of all the tools!
Wow looks awesome mate great video
Awesome video. Green is my fave colour.
Some very good idea's there. Borrowed the rolls of tape storage from you a while back.
Great job. I'm so jealous
Great post
Hell yeah!
BISLEY's are the way forward. I have 4 of them from a Bank I worked at closed. They fit A4 paper perfectly. Mine are in the garage with everything you could imagine stored and labelled.
If the lathe's too big, lengthways, just cut the end of the bed off, that's what I did with mine.
Just make a metal plate for the cut end and bolt it in place to reduce any movement of the bed.
Worked for me!
Looking forward to the axe restoration. I always enjoy your creative videos.
good work !
Looking great Keith, ive just put a retractable air hose in my workshop, makes such a diffrence wish id got it years ago
Got some great ideas for my workshop I’m building in my cellar thanks
Great job Keith I am still not as sure as you about your chop saw but that is your choice but I will say this DRAWS you can’t beat them l have lots of them in my workshop and my work place set them up like you have done or pigeonholes and they are great you do like your green paint 😂 you have a great workshop there can’t wait to see your new planer thickness and your leave well done 👍
👍👍👍.Thank you
I am always fascinated by people's workshops. They spend thousands on tools, and then use kitchen castoffs for cabinetry.
I have one of those 15 drawer unit, and it is useful- but the drawers are too small. mechanics drawer units have the same metal drawer compactness, but much more storage. Those cubbies are great, so much more practical and compact that the 'french cleat' arrays one sees far too often. Good to unify colours, but always a very personal choice... When finished, you will wonder why you did not do it earlier!
The happy face of yours when you got the 2:nd Bisley unit 😀
It's nice to treat yourself occasionally!
@@RagnBoneBrown Well deserved.
Very satisfying video. Need more wide angle time lapses to appreciate the new layout!
This was one of my favourite videos of yours. I love a good bit of organisation porn! Does the new workshop layout 'spark joy'? 😂
Brilliant video, lots of ideas for me to pinch 😂.
I hope you have a green paint sponsor :-) you're keeping them in business single-handed :-) !!
Someone was getting rid of one of those filing cabinets, so a lot of my stuff is now in a 5' finding cabinet. It was a pain to move, but I am happy to have one. I just need to lubricate the drawers one day.
Looking good fella I commented on Matt’s video about his Bisley drawers they’re my go to impulse buy and I’ve got about eight different sets in total, I have at least four of the ones you’ve got they are the best things for a workshop 👍🏻
If you fancy a change from organising your workshop, fancy coming and giving me a hand with mine? When I bought it, there was a condition on the purchase that all the "junk" (treasure!) that was in there was included. It was fairly full, and I've added to it, so you can now barely get in! I end up doing most work outside, or in the back of my van if it's raining 😂
King content.
Organizational planning is always the hardest part. You must have spent a lot of time coming up with all of the changes that you've made. - Chris
you gotta get a record power lathe and planner thicknesser (with Helix cutters). and the color matches the workshop 😊
Thanks!
Thank you so much! ♥️
The bisley draws are fantastic we have some super old ones must be from the 70s in work that are not even used. Tempted to see if i can have them.
Hi Keith, I spent a good but of time researching a new thickness planer but didn't end up buying at the time. One that stood out was Holzprofi fr it was mentioned on the UK workshop furom and had all the features I wanted such as spiral head and tables that lift altogether without removing the fence. One to add to your compare list I also hear you can get a discount by phoning them
I'm a litle OCD so I loved these improvements and the wood reuse! those are the coolest fancy drawers! sadly no cat B roll this time :D The workshop looks great, thumbs up!
There'll be some epic Mickie footage soon
I saw the lathe chisel racks and couldn’t find a video on them. Just the old 3x and diagonal 3x holders from the new lathe videos. Simple enough but still curious how you made them. Shop has come a long way. Looking back at you insulating/covering window and painting, floors, garage door wall, ceilings.. a lot.
They're just plastic conduit hot glued to plywood 👍
Probably need to raise the 15 drawer cabinet to avoid bending down to get to the bottom drawer
Check out the Fanttik X8 portable tire inflator. It has massively simplified the process of inflating all the various tires there are in my garage. And it comes in green!
Please make sure you have space to the left of the headstock when siting the new lathe. You need space to get a tommy bar in so you can tap out drives and so on from the morse taper, as well as some room to rotate the headstock if you go for a model with that. If you genuinely never turn anything very long, then there is a new direct drive Nova lathe coming soon, the Nova Neptune; or you might consider the Nova Nebula if you want something a bit bigger. The direct drive is smooth, powerful and full of torque; the electronic brake saves loads of time on those stop-and-measure projects, and the controls are easy to set to get the speed you want, with no guessing and fiddling around.
I’m planning on getting the Hammer A2-26 combo jointer/planer, it’s a 10” with about 400-500mm of infeed, and for a high grade tool, it’s about $1800 USD is a pretty good. The other Hammer units have tool-less table extensions so it will likely have them too
