Ah, finally a UA-cam shop that looks like it's used for making stuff and not for surgery or other sterile activities. Work benches that look like real work benches and not coffee tables...Tools strewn about, but he knows where they all are...Dust, dirt, metal shavings, rust...This is a place you can work in.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. You're a great host, Scott. Feels like your an old friend having a conversation with each of us. thank you.
You're absolutely amazing in every aspect. You are a blessing to all of us on UA-cam! I know I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate everything you're doing to pass on a sliver of your monumental knowledge to all of us out here.
Let me chime in, and say no, thank you sir! I won't watch one of your videos until i am in that perfect frame of mind to absorb your content to The fullest of my ability. Anything less would be Disrespectful to you. Thank You some more!
Places like these are ideal for young boys to spend time working(playing) with tools and materials. It develops their brains because it forces them to innovate, improvise, and find alternative ways of solving problems. And let's not forget how it keeps them away from a lot of bad things.
Every time watch this man’s videos it makes me think “this guy is the reality of the person they were trying to sell us on ‘this old house’”. You are the real deal my friend. And I’m pleased to have stumbled upon your channel by accident via UA-cam. Thank you and keep it up, you’re a true inspiration
The shop is great and all the tools collected over some time. Your variety of skills is impressive but here is what I appreciate.....and has nothing to do with privilege of any kind ....is the dignity of hard work you remind me of ... determined to be skilled and honest. The foundation of a great nation. As a 67 year old life long carpenter, I cherish every laugh and every tear I have had and the time I have left to maybe pass this dignity forward .. believe it or not there are many millenials seeking this
That is not a napping chair, my friend. That is what is called "A Thinking Chair". Every man over 50 knows that some times before you move forward you need to sit down and think something through before proceeding. Keeps you from stepping on your..... When you age a bit you know enough to stop and think about what you are doing every now and then. Always best to have a thinking chair near by. ATB, Bill
Yeah, having turned 50, I find myself "thinking" about things for about a good 20 minutes every afternoon. Sure does make a difference in the afternoon.
Absolutely wonderful. You are an amazing man, with an amazing amount of skill sets and knowledge. At 74, I thought I had learned a lot. But I'm still learning every time I watch one of your videos.
Nobody does a better job of explaining things like essential craftsman. You sir are a great tradesman to watch. I've learned a lot watching your channel and trust your knowledge greatly. Keep up the great work!
Love that recliner. I'm 71 now, but I've been taking 15-20 minute power naps for most of my adult life. Start the day early - nap after lunch - work until dark thirty or later. Enjoyed the tour.
What you've put together there is what so many of us aspire to. Here's to your lifelong pursuit of doing things on your terms, taking an interest in new trades and diving in head first. You are fast becoming something of a role model for myself and I'm sure many many others who watch your videos.
Sir, I'm a underwater welder and now for the last two years elevator mechanic with Thyssenkrupp and just wanted to say I love these videos. It's what I watch to wind the day down, and I bet u remind many of us American Craftsmen of a Gramps of pops whom always knew the best way to do a job. Keep making, I'll keep watchin...
I’ve been watching this mans videos for quite a while now. And this man has to be one of the most humble and down-to-earth men I’ve ever seen. He seems like the kind of guy that is from when the world was different, when it was simpler. The kind of guy you’d drink a cup of coffee on the porch with and listen to his tales of old Keep doing what you’re doing Scott. We all enjoy your content
Wow Scott ,,, I never find any of your excellent videos in the slightest way boring but this one resonates with me. Your man cave or shed as we call them here in Australia is nothing short of amazing. Back in 2009 I went to Cyprus to settle some family estate business for 3 weeks, when I returned I found to my horror that my darling wife had cleaned and re-arranged my shed whilst she never threw anything out I'm still finding stuff 10 years later, she's never set foot back here again.
I'm a young man from N.Y. trying to find my place in the world, so seeing this treasure trove of tools and equipment (really all your videos)makes me so happy I'm not in a office for a job and gives me inspiration to become a student of many skills. Granted I'm an unemployed college student at the moment, but I have worked a few hard manual labor jobs and one sales job in the four years between graduating and going back; even in high school, I interned in an office and could tell it wasn't for me - so forestry... here I come!
My grandfather used to say," When I go to my just reward you can throw away anything you want to. "Till then everything in here has a purpose,and that is to keep me happy and somewhat sane." "It's clean enough to get my work done,then I go eat in the house,where most people do.
This channel is the BALLS!!!!! Thanks for doing it. I learn so much. From a personal stand point, the things I find most valuable are your insights on how to get things done when you're working alone. The world is full of "three-handed jobs" and your tips have proved invaluable. Again, thanks!
From the hints you have dropped in your videos, you and I live about 30 miles apart, I'm a bit north of you.. Love your videos! mostly because you are being yourself, don't change that please. Thank you for sharing..
I enjoyed seeing this video, as it confirms that I'm not the only one that puts that much forethought into organizing my shop. Its comforting to see that there are others like me in this world.
You are an inspiration, good sir. I am a US Army Special Forces veteran and have spent a fair amount of time in the Hood River area. I'm a medic but all my engineers watch your channel for insight into building. Thank you for your fine videos.
Awesome tour, thank you. Also, it's GOOD to take naps when you've been working. There's nothing to be ashamed of for taking a restorative, regenerative nap. AND fifteen minutes is the ideal length, and it's best to do it daily/regularly. Every body is different but in general, power naps are GOOD.
I love that you talk about all aspects of the shop but mostly the sentimental value of how people gather and learn and borrow and return all in one place. Your kids are blessed!!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
New viewer but a major fan. What a great teacher, mentor, and awesome giver to all who are wanting and willing to learn. Just starting on metal work and love learning from such a man. Sir, thanks much for sharing your knowledge with the public. God bless
man i give my up-most respect. The fact that you actually find the time to share your knowledge for people like me is the mere definition of a true leader. Thank you!!
Scott, I have been a fan of your channel for months now and have watched every video. You have truly built a life that values family and hard work and it is something that even just in these few months have made my life better. Thank you and your family for making these video, I can't wait to see what is coming down the pipeline. Regards
I have watched this video at least 6 times and my sons have been shown it as well and there kids love it to, Vanishing America has been going on for quite some time, But there is hope for the skills that have been vanishing from our great country, Hope that lives in the shops,garages,and hearts of the American craftsman. Knowledge is a precis thing, Touch it feel it and pass it on. Greetings from New Mexico
Trove of knowledge and everything is a conversation starter in that building beautiful madness. I can't imagine how may thousands of projects have started and finished every tool has a story awesome
Thanks for showing us your shop. Never had the opportunity growing up to learn the various trades basic skills. I was in my late 30's when my friend at work shared his woodworking skills with me. I never mastered working on my own ....but i always enjoyed working in his shop/ man-cave.
I have watched a lot of your posts and I just love them to pieces. Thank you for doing what you do, truly an inspiration to anyone who is willing to learn and expand the mind, body and soul.
May your legacy be handed down for generations to come. Your example is a light to those of us that hope to turn the tide on the 'throw it out instead of fix it ' mentality. Continue to make things.
The most impressive in this display is the brains of the man! He knows the story of each object and can remember the feel of each -- down to the teeth of that sculpted iron face, where the fingers seem to recognize each tooth.
In the trades over 30 years and effective but always kind of sloppy about my tools and materials and this is the first guy that ever made me feel okay for not being "perfect" about the way I handle my materials.
Now that’s what I call a shop !!! What wonderful treasures and memories are in there. I love old tools !! I’ve been a carpenter for 40 plus years and now in my old age I start and stop my day in my shop. There are many days I just sit and recall many of my wonderful memories and people I have had the pleasure to work with. To us old timers, may the hammer never slip from our hands God Bless !!
Many thoughts come to mind while watching that tour of your shop....all of them jealousy! It's nice to know there are people out there that still appreciate the old fuel burning double mantle coleman lanterns, thanks for sharing your beautiful collection. Take care my friend.
5 years ago I had terminal cancer (we won), and at 56 I’m just a few years behind you. My grandad left home and was building the Fort Peck dam at 14, driving a bulldozer. Later he ran a crew of “Rosie the Riviters” in the Portland, Oregon shipyards. After that he and another fella platted Gleneden Beach so they could build their own houses and have neighbors. His son - my father - continued working with their hands and their backs in ways I truly admire. Before heading off to the Army, his first couple of years working was in the sawmill on Newport, OR harbor. He loved the arts and wanted an education, and so he saved every dime before, during and after his military service, and went on to be a PhD in Theatre; later one of the pioneers in Film education. I share this because even most in my own family don’t know that my Dad was a multi-talented tradesman and had the work ethic of his forebears. Growing up I helped him build theatre - sure, scenergy too but that was the light stuff - we built and transformed buildings and performance venues. You grow up taking for granted the wealth you learn from your parents, and I learned framing, flooring, plumbing, heavy electrical, lighting and early digital. My own interests went into computer engineering, later management, but in my own life I found mentors who taught me much more about pretty much all the trades in housing. I’m no professional like you, but I surely feel something deep in my soul when I watch your channel. My health will never allow me to do much more than small projeccts and limited dabbling, but I sure wish I could spend a few days listening and talking, and as much light work as I could muster around your shop. A dream. What you are doing now to preserve elements of history, the spirit of the trade, and pass on pearls that can outlive you as these videos - well, its a fine thing.
Hi, that's the dream of anyone who loves tools, Im an argentinean living in Wales uk, my grandpa was a mechanic and Im a golf club greenkeeper that love them and welding too, that's how I discovered the channel . My small workshop is based in motorbikes now. Thanks for the videos, happy to subscribe to it. Gus
I grew up in a construction family and really enjoy your videos. You remind me of my uncle Craig so much. His voice is always in my head when I am doing carpentry. "Boy...you better do that right or you will come back on the weekend and work for free until you learn how" His work ethic, attention to detail, and his job site management skills have taught me so much. Thanks for everything you do
Reminds me of my ten years as a journeyman mechanic in a copper mine processing plant. The boom crane and the welding table bring back interesting memories. Thanks for sharing.
Nice shop! I just received today a keen, little blade, wrapped in a red tee shirt. I can't put it down. I have just now been stropping it for a few minutes to get a feel for the balance. I think it will do nicely. Please pass along my compliments to Mr. Cy, he is a master! Thank you both!
Thanks for the inspiration. I was thinking of you today, as I was replacing interior doors. Bought blank slabs and hand fitted for the hinges using butt gage and sharp chisel. Used hole saws to mount knobs and bolts. Trimmed for width and height with worm drive saw. Every time I picked up a tool, even a screwdriver, I was reminded of another of your videos. Not to sound weird, but your stuff is worth listening to 2 or 3 times, especially for those of us who have a casual acquaintance with tools.
I don't know how to tell you to keep doin' what you are doing. But I hope you will. Do your subscribers know, this is scriptural. To respect our elders and listen to those who know. SO many young ones don't do that anymore. They are missing out. And I LOVED listening to Cy. Much of my youth was spent in the places he talked about. I sent that one to my sister.
Hello Sir, I am a new watcher but already a big fan. If this whole Craftsman thing does not work out for you I think Dos Equis should hire you on the spot.
I love the drill press at 6:39, I picked one up at an auction a few years ago for $4. It was in pretty bad shape but I took it all apart and restored it. Dad and I loved it so much that we wanted to put it on the wall in the dining room but mom didn't like that so much. So we had to wait until she went to Italy to put it on the wall.
Love it, love it, love it, found the channel months ago and thoroughly enjoy coming back time and time again. I'm a Scottish joiner and carpenter so love the content and the years of wisdom. Keep up the good work and God bless!!!
Anyone else get that "feel good" thing going on when watching this channel ? As ever, a beautiful edit. very interesting, enviable and a good honest intent and message. Thank you once again : )
Wow it just keeps going, I was getting lost but a well ordered work space and enough tools to keep me happy for 10 lifetimes. I also hit like as the video begins.
With a voice of a pastor, a man that sees the value of those in his life, I became really excited as you were describing the #1. I have to say that I was getting prepared for a powerful testimony.. Thank you for your videos
Post to beam connections! Radial drill press and a ton of tools from a Roundhouse. Daryl Nelson's animal heads. Two steps from the Anvil ........and a swinging crane! Yup, this shop is ready for work! You could even build a chair that hangs from the crane when you get too old to walk. Perfect!
Since I dove myself into your collection of videos I always wondered why keeping the ground graveled whereas some areas are concreted. I now see and very informative. This channel is full of wisdom and valuable information. Thank you sir.
Hello Mr.Scott . as per Seprember 11 /2017 , i got myself a parachute bag (brand new and my first one) , what a brillant idea of yours .I did not know about this till a saw your video .Great !!! See you are changing things in our life ====== you are a great mentor ( teacher ) Thanks Serge ( from Mtl )
Your channel and the content you provide is top notch sir! You are inspiring and a natural teacher! Please keep it coming! If it's possible I'd love to see some more anvil and blacksmithing videos, I have recently been bitten by coal and plan to build a forge! Thanks again!
Obviously you are blessed by our Lord, you are awesome to show the skills that you have learned through your years, I just wish that some of our younger people could enjoy what you do, God bless
Sir I have to say that seeing one of your videos pop up just absolutely brightens my day. Seeing and listening to the passion that you have for your work and your willingness to inform and educate others is extremely admirable. I hope some day to have gained a fraction of the knowledge that you sir have. The upmost respect for you and all that you share with us. Thank you
Most Amazing complete Shop I’ve ever witnessed!!!! -I can’t help but let my mind reflect on what America was like around 1900’-into the 1950s. -Shops were abundant and Men could make or Repair anything back then. Parts of your shop Reminds me of a bit of few old Lumber Mill shops I worked around back in 70s. Thanks for the tour👍🇺🇸
I have a similar crane at work. I use it to pick up the rear wheel and hub assemblies off of city buses and load them onto a drum lathe. I couldn't live without it.
Hi Scott. A new subscriber, only just started watching your videos. 65 year old carpenter, been at it since I left school, still at it. Every now and then you need a bit of motivation and watching one of your videos does the trick. Cheers.
The amount of time involved just to get the shop to its current state is breathtaking. All those 'little' projects ,mostly involving organizing stuff important to you,adds up. And yes boxes of bees, mostly from California, were the backbone of beekeeping for decades. Sure hope they were able to control the disease issues,as well as Africanized bee incursions. Lost track of that years ago. Cheers.
The knowledge this man has is incredible. This guy knows a hard days work, that's for sure. I love the videos. I particularly like the videos on certain pieces of equipment and the tricks you can do with them and what it's used for. Thanks for sharing.
I hope it’s ok with you, but I aspire to have the patience, character and kindness that you appear to possess. You are a wonderful teacher and, I think, a wonderful human being. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Guy Mosh. That's a beautiful work space. I'm coming late to the party, finally, at 65 going from a one car garage, to a 36X40 pole shop. Still waiting on the concrete floor, and wiring, and insulation and, and, and... I've still got projects and dreams...
G'day Kevin here from Australia. I'm in love with your shop. I showed my wife she looked at me and said one word Divorce. 🤣 Keep the videos coming lov them.
Typical Aussie female response...They'll never get it.. I think I've just been taken through the ultimate Mancave, just wish I had a tenth of the skills he's got.
What an amazing workshop/Mancave, love it. But it's also what I'd consider to be almost a living mini museum of blacksmithing. You're a credit to your profession.
The Coleman lantern collection is awesome!! As a kid, I was terrified of Colemans; I always thought they were ping to explode. I would make a wide berth around them at the campsite. Now I have bought a couple of them from the 60s and 70s and enjoy making them perform.
Happy I found this channel, and so many great people out there finally coming out to the digital world for everyone to see. Going to keep watching for sure! Great setup. Need a work truck like yours. That's how I found you.
Been watching for awhile. If no one has said it before, you may want to look into narration or voice work. Your voice is very clear and has good tone. Thanks for all the knowledge and the teaching moments.
always need more room. thank you for shop tour. i have seen all your video's. a man and his tool's can never have to many. it is nice to have steel and lumber on hand always never know when need some. stay safe and GOD bless.
Thanks for the tour my friend. I too have a shop. Mine is similar to yours in that there is a little of everything in it. It is a place I feel privileged to have. And yes your right just about the most important thing in it is a chair! Thanks again. Cheers.
2:27 "Built the table" This is one reason I watch this channel. Awesome.
Ah, finally a UA-cam shop that looks like it's used for making stuff and not for surgery or other sterile activities. Work benches that look like real work benches and not coffee tables...Tools strewn about, but he knows where they all are...Dust, dirt, metal shavings, rust...This is a place you can work in.
The granddaughter is precious!
ARRR ARRR ARRR
4:18 the whistle thingy was just hilarious in my opinion :D
YES! Exactly!
Reminds me of my grandfather's shop. A real workshop
I can't tell you how much I appreciate this channel. You're a great host, Scott. Feels like your an old friend having a conversation with each of us. thank you.
You're absolutely amazing in every aspect. You are a blessing to all of us on UA-cam! I know I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate everything you're doing to pass on a sliver of your monumental knowledge to all of us out here.
Beautifully said
Let me chime in, and say no, thank you sir!
I won't watch one of your videos until i am in that
perfect frame of mind to absorb your content to
The fullest of my ability. Anything less would be
Disrespectful to you.
Thank You some more!
Essential Craftsman. Gracias a usted buen señor!
Essential Craftsman . Por compartir con nosotros en youtube!
AMEN!
As a woman who grew up in the shop with dad, I watched this with wide-eyed wonder!! What a collection!!!
Places like these are ideal for young boys to spend time working(playing) with tools and materials.
It develops their brains because it forces them to innovate, improvise, and find alternative ways of solving problems. And let's not forget how it keeps them away from a lot of bad things.

And I’m pleased to have stumbled upon your channel by accident via UA-cam. Thank you and keep it up, you’re a true inspiration
"They just sorta show up here". The word gets out among stray dogs of character. Thank you Scott.
The shop is great and all the tools collected over some time. Your variety of skills is impressive but here is what I appreciate.....and has nothing to do with privilege of any kind ....is the dignity of hard work you remind me of ... determined to be skilled and honest.

When you age a bit you know enough to stop and think about what you are doing every now and then. Always best to have a thinking chair near by. ATB, Bill
Bill at Yellowdog Welding i
Bill, I was going to comment about that very thing! A thinking chair! Critical equipment!
I crank that leg rest up while I’m in “deep thought” I’d fall asleep 💤 Thank god for recliners! mine’s a La z boy.
Yeah, having turned 50, I find myself "thinking" about things for about a good 20 minutes every afternoon. Sure does make a difference in the afternoon.

This man inspires me to do something productive with my time, which is the best medicine.
I’ve been watching this mans videos for quite a while now. And this man has to be one of the most humble and down-to-earth men I’ve ever seen.

Keep doing what you’re doing Scott. We all enjoy your content
Not to mention a gravel floor doesn't make for as much echo.
never thought about that.
Which is so nice when it comes to motors
That is a great space and the fact that you shared that space with your father makes it even more special

New viewer but a major fan. What a great teacher, mentor, and awesome giver to all who are wanting and willing to learn. Just starting on metal work and love learning from such a man. Sir, thanks much for sharing your knowledge with the public. God bless
Nothing wrong with a 15 minute nap during the day, keeps you more alert and focused. 👍

Probably the most honest and best UA-cam channel out there.

My health will never allow me to do much more than small projeccts and limited dabbling, but I sure wish I could spend a few days listening and talking, and as much light work as I could muster around your shop. A dream. What you are doing now to preserve elements of history, the spirit of the trade, and pass on pearls that can outlive you as these videos - well, its a fine thing.
Hi, that's the dream of anyone who loves tools, Im an argentinean living in Wales uk, my grandpa was a mechanic and Im a golf club greenkeeper that love them and welding too, that's how I discovered the channel . My small workshop is based in motorbikes now. Thanks for the videos, happy to subscribe to it. Gus
I grew up in a construction family and really enjoy your videos. You remind me of my uncle Craig so much. His voice is always in my head when I am doing carpentry.
"Boy...you better do that right or you will come back on the weekend and work for free until you learn how"
His work ethic, attention to detail, and his job site management skills have taught me so much.
Thanks for everything you do
Reminds me of my ten years as a journeyman mechanic in a copper mine processing plant. The boom crane and the welding table bring back interesting memories. Thanks for sharing.
I can imagine that Oregon rain falling on the tin roof and napping in that chair. Wake up, crack open a cold beer, hammer some metal.....
Exactly how it's done my friend
Oh my god! That shop is absolute HEAVEN!!
Nice shop! I just received today a keen, little blade, wrapped in a red tee shirt. I can't put it down. I have just now been stropping it for a few minutes to get a feel for the balance. I think it will do nicely. Please pass along my compliments to Mr. Cy, he is a master! Thank you both!
Thanks for the inspiration. I was thinking of you today, as I was replacing interior doors. Bought blank slabs and hand fitted for the hinges using butt gage and sharp chisel. Used hole saws to mount knobs and bolts. Trimmed for width and height with worm drive saw. Every time I picked up a tool, even a screwdriver, I was reminded of another of your videos. Not to sound weird, but your stuff is worth listening to 2 or 3 times, especially for those of us who have a casual acquaintance with tools.
I don't know how to tell you to keep doin' what you are doing. But I hope you will.
Do your subscribers know, this is scriptural. To respect our elders and listen to those who know. SO many young ones don't do that anymore. They are missing out.
And I LOVED listening to Cy. Much of my youth was spent in the places he talked about. I sent that one to my sister.
Everytime I click on one of you're videos I learn something new. Thank you for sharing you're knowledge and time sir.
INCREDIBLE ...SHOP.... MEN YOU ARE A CHAMPION..BEAUTIFUL AND FASCINATING...CONGRATULATIONS.
What a shop !!!
I love all the old tools and dies
They don't make em like that anymore sir
Thanks for a peak inside your world !!
Hello Sir, I am a new watcher but already a big fan. If this whole Craftsman thing does not work out for you I think Dos Equis should hire you on the spot.
ataylor lol indeed
ataylor
Not everything he does requires craftsmanship, but everything he does is crafted!!!
Stay crafty my friend.
He is....the most interesting man.
Great vid thanks for sharing
Great video. Nice workshop,alot of planning & layout.
The BEST craftsman on UA-cam
I love the drill press at 6:39, I picked one up at an auction a few years ago for $4. It was in pretty bad shape but I took it all apart and restored it. Dad and I loved it so much that we wanted to put it on the wall in the dining room but mom didn't like that so much. So we had to wait until she went to Italy to put it on the wall.
Love it, love it, love it, found the channel months ago and thoroughly enjoy coming back time and time again. I'm a Scottish joiner and carpenter so love the content and the years of wisdom. Keep up the good work and God bless!!!
Anyone else get that "feel good" thing going on when watching this channel ? As ever, a beautiful edit. very interesting, enviable and a good honest intent and message. Thank you once again : )
Every mans dream come true. A shop (barn) where you can do anything you want.
Wow it just keeps going, I was getting lost but a well ordered work space and enough tools to keep me happy for 10 lifetimes. I also hit like as the video begins.
The thing that stuck out to me most about your shop, was the degree of knowledge and understanding in which it was built with.
As always, great video!
With a voice of a pastor, a man that sees the value of those in his life, I became really excited as you were describing the #1. I have to say that I was getting prepared for a powerful testimony.. Thank you for your videos
Post to beam connections! Radial drill press and a ton of tools from a Roundhouse. Daryl Nelson's animal heads. Two steps from the Anvil ........and a swinging crane! Yup, this shop is ready for work! You could even build a chair that hangs from the crane when you get too old to walk. Perfect!
Yours quickly became my favorite channel. Love the fact that everything isn't "perfect" in your shop.
Absolutely one of the coolest shops EVER !!!
Since I dove myself into your collection of videos I always wondered why keeping the ground graveled whereas some areas are concreted. I now see and very informative. This channel is full of wisdom and valuable information. Thank you sir.
Hello Mr.Scott . as per Seprember 11 /2017 , i got myself a parachute bag (brand new and my first one) , what a brillant idea of yours .I did not know about this till a saw your video .Great !!! See you are changing things in our life ====== you are a great mentor ( teacher )
Thanks
Serge ( from Mtl )
Your channel and the content you provide is top notch sir! You are inspiring and a natural teacher! Please keep it coming! If it's possible I'd love to see some more anvil and blacksmithing videos, I have recently been bitten by coal and plan to build a forge! Thanks again!
Obviously you are blessed by our Lord, you are awesome to show the skills that you have learned through your years, I just wish that some of our younger people could enjoy what you do, God bless
Sir I have to say that seeing one of your videos pop up just absolutely brightens my day. Seeing and listening to the passion that you have for your work and your willingness to inform and educate others is extremely admirable. I hope some day to have gained a fraction of the knowledge that you sir have. The upmost respect for you and all that you share with us. Thank you
Most Amazing complete Shop I’ve ever witnessed!!!! -I can’t help but let my mind reflect on what America was like around 1900’-into the 1950s. -Shops were abundant and Men could make or Repair anything back then. Parts of your shop Reminds me of a bit of few old Lumber Mill shops I worked around back in 70s. Thanks for the tour👍🇺🇸
I have a similar crane at work. I use it to pick up the rear wheel and hub assemblies off of city buses and load them onto a drum lathe. I couldn't live without it.
Wow.....what an amazing shop and wonderment of items that all have a story to tell !! I am in awe.
That recliner is the perfect growlery within a wonderful shop.
Hi Scott. A new subscriber, only just started watching your videos.
65 year old carpenter, been at it since I left school, still at it. Every now and then you need a bit of motivation and watching one of your videos does the trick. Cheers.
Inspiring! Who wouldn't love that shop??
Nice video, I m from Brazil and live now in Canada but i lern every day about wonderful world of tools, thank you
The amount of time involved just to get the shop to its current state is breathtaking. All those 'little' projects ,mostly involving organizing stuff important to you,adds up. And yes boxes of bees, mostly from California, were the backbone of beekeeping for decades. Sure hope they were able to control the disease issues,as well as Africanized bee incursions. Lost track of that years ago.
Cheers.
paul manson
I have recently seen that the bee population is coming back up, according to the studies.
The knowledge this man has is incredible. This guy knows a hard days work, that's for sure. I love the videos. I particularly like the videos on certain pieces of equipment and the tricks you can do with them and what it's used for. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing all those lanterns makes me like your character even more! Nice collection
I hope it’s ok with you, but I aspire to have the patience, character and kindness that you appear to possess. You are a wonderful teacher and, I think, a wonderful human being. Thank you for sharing.
Oh Guy Mosh. That's a beautiful work space. I'm coming late to the party, finally, at 65 going from a one car garage, to a 36X40 pole shop. Still waiting on the concrete floor, and wiring, and insulation and, and, and... I've still got projects and dreams...
G'day Kevin here from Australia. I'm in love with your shop. I showed my wife she looked at me and said one word Divorce. 🤣
Keep the videos coming lov them.
Kevin Hamling
Ok, so are you single now! 😊
Gotta have priorities you know ! 😆
Kevin Hamling If that's her answer, get one ASAP!
"Honey, I thought you'd never agree! Thanks!"
Typical Aussie female response...They'll never get it.. I think I've just been taken through the ultimate Mancave, just wish I had a tenth of the skills he's got.
What an amazing workshop/Mancave, love it. But it's also what I'd consider to be almost a living mini museum of blacksmithing. You're a credit to your profession.
The Coleman lantern collection is awesome!!
As a kid, I was terrified of Colemans; I always thought they were ping to explode. I would make a wide berth around them at the campsite. Now I have bought a couple of them from the 60s and 70s and enjoy making them perform.
Your accumulated wisdom is a modern marvel thanks for passing it on.
So much fun in one shed
Awesome Coleman collection! I have a 220b,e, f , 200a, 425b 2 burner stove and a 530 pocket stove. Love em all and they all work great !
Happy I found this channel, and so many great people out there finally coming out to the digital world for everyone to see.
Going to keep watching for sure! Great setup. Need a work truck like yours. That's how I found you.
Been watching for awhile. If no one has said it before, you may want to look into narration or voice work. Your voice is very clear and has good tone. Thanks for all the knowledge and the teaching moments.
always need more room. thank you for shop tour. i have seen all your video's. a man and his tool's can never have to many. it is nice to have steel and lumber on hand always never know when need some. stay safe and GOD bless.
Thanks for the tour my friend. I too have a shop. Mine is similar to yours in that there is a little of everything in it. It is a place I feel privileged to have. And yes your right just about the most important thing in it is a chair!
Thanks again. Cheers.
