Love the shop tour, and genuine thoughts. Interested in that S4S! I've been jointing and planing projects for years now and think it might be time to get something on that level. Any recommendations of places to look?
Andy I really enjoyed your shop tour. As a hobbyist with the usual 8 inch jointer/12 in planer etc etc....that sander and s4s machine are dreamy! What about your sharpening?...you showed the grinder but how do you finish sharpening? Nice shop! Great tour!
I’m newer to woodworking, mostly spoon carving at this point, but I just wanted to say thank you for what you do for the woodworking community and for your videos. They’ve been in inspiration to me to keep making and to keep learning.
Brings a tear of pride to my eyes. I live in the city where Oliver started out. Way back I. 1890. Makes me wonder the journey that machine took to make it down to you in the bottom of the country
Same here! I know it was original bought by a machinery dealer in L.A. but from there I have no idea how it got to San Antonio, Texas. My guess is Ed Friedrich bought it for his business sometime in the 1930s
Andy, A friend in Germany told me about your channel, i am no woodworker but enjoy craftsmanship, just subscribed. Roy Underhill was the man, Watched him every saturday on PBS here in GA.
Thanks for the tour Andy. Think I could just barely make out the Bible still there on the window sill, but the blue thermos was in the way. You're a workman rightly dividing the word of truth.
Very nice workshop and some very nice old hand tools and big old machinery l no you say my workshop is not tidy but I am the same but I like it and as a joiner I would be very happy to work in your workshop here in the uk 🇬🇧 it’s not good with the pandemic but we are getting they l hope the whole world gets rid of this Virus stay safe everyone thanks for your video 👍👏👏
Hey Andy just wanted to say I love your work and your channel here on UA-cam. I bought my first house a little over a year ago and want so badly to get my own shop put together, with work and other things it has been slow going but you are an inspiration to me and I just wanted to let you know. Thank you and keep up the amazing work.
Thanks for the shop tour Andy. Enjoyed it all. Goes to show hard work and determination always pays off. I am slowly putting together a small shop in the basement that will hopefully give me something to look forward to in retirement in a few years. I’ve been following your Airstream Argosy series and enjoying that as well.
Nice vid. I like the old saw. It's very easily a contender for number one in your top two machines, the other of course being the mortise machine. You don't need me to encourage you to go for the older machines when you can get them. The reason they get that old is because they are that good!
May I suggest you buy a Brother thermal tape printer from your local office supply or Amazon. They make labeling a shop really easy. Looks a lot better than blue tape. BTW, I'm not a woodworker by any means, but my neighbor has a shop almost as nice as yours as an amateur, so I have learned some from him as well. I really enjoy watching your videos though. I look forward to every post from you.
Hey Andy thanks for the great video! It was cool to see you talk about some of your process, keeping records, use of your machines and the tools you see as essential. I'm trying to get off of the ground in NY with a woodworking business and content like that is really helpful. Would you ever think about doing a more business/process focused video aimed at people trying to make their way in woodworking? Thanks again!
Awesome video I work on heavy equipment and enjoyed the he video all the way to the end now I have another channel to check out cool stuff. Looks like the risk of the loan paid off That’s awesome. Hopefully I can have the success like you have.
Purpose-built flamables cabinets are terribly expensive. If you live in a place where the fire marshal intends, for instance, to hassle you into leaving a residential area this might not fly but the world is full of unused file cabinets. I use two four drawer fire -rated file cabinets to store flammables. An insurance inspector looked them over and said, "Good solution."
Hi Andy I love your work and your UA-cam channel is what inspired me to start doing woodworking and do you no if the place that you got your table saw from ships to New Zealand because it's really hard to get good masenarey over here
If you think your space is messy think again, I would upload a video of my shop but right now it looks worse than yours. Cool shop, I like your channel, wish mine was as cool as yours
I love your shop my friend, especially how you have brought to life and extended the usability of those old machines! Most have been discarded and have turned to rust and they were the best. Thank you for taking the time to do this walk through and show us your fantastic shop!! God bless you and your family!
I watch woodworking videos everyday and the fact that UA-cam hasn’t ever suggested your videos blows my mind. Paul Sellers is a great teacher and by mentioning that it makes me think you really love the craft also. Great shop and video!
Great shop tour brother! I love seeing other craftsman’s shops and how they are set up, and I’m glad you didn’t clean up before hand. That’s the reality of a daily used work space. I didn’t know you studied with Paul, that’s awesome! I love his channel and his work. Truly amazing wood working over there, but don’t discount your self. Some high quality stuff coming out from you. Keep up the great work!
Nice to see that you give credit where credit is due. I also love how you bring back to life those old machines and that your workspace “looks” like a work space. Congratulations on your accomplishments! Keep it up and stay safe. Greetings from Hamilton, Ontario, 🇨🇦
The new Oliver is it the same as the old Oliver it’s not the same company and it’s all imported stuff, that being said original Oliver machinery is some of the best ever made and I love it. Instead of using ex factory for machinery contact Bryan at 360 degree machinery. He’s extremely fair and all the machines they bring in and go through and fix and tune them so when they get to your shop there ready to go and there is no more time and money needed to get them right.
# 1 . Ben Stiller - is that you? #2. Just between you and me , how much did you pay for the mortiser ? #3. Do you think any of your newer machines will be running .... in 95 years ? #4. Again... Ben is that you?
Rob Cosman has a video on making toilet paper, I think it's meant as a joke but it works (kinda). I'd like to see more furniture builds and tool restoration projects. I agree Paul Sellers is the best, his tools are so sharp, all you have to do is point it at wood. I also agree, the old tools were built for the long haul. Danny
I was biting by the bug when I saw Paul build a bench in his garden then he started woodworking master classes I was hook I built a little shop 12’x10’ I started with rough boards and progressed from scrub to no.4 finish. Most guys I know started with machines and are trying to go the other way .having said that I did get a 16”bandsaw he is like my best friend, i was considering a small planer or jointer to increase efficiency and help with my 40 something years . I do love hand tools and the silence they bring, I think maybe a thicknesser maybe . Although many project I built with just a flat face and square edge 😀all the best in your endeavours Dave
Thanks Andy for your thoughts for us here in Italy. I really appreciate it. Please don't underestimate the situation, stay careful, stay safe. Hey, your shop is wonderland.
Thank you so much for the shop tour. Just curious if in the future you might be replacing your sawstop for a European style sliding table saw such as a Felder 700s?
Nice to hear you pay respects to Paul. I met him once and he was amazing to talk to for just the few minutes I had with him. It was after a great talk he gave. You are very fortunate to learn from him. Oh, your shop is awesome by the way. Better change your safe combo :)....
Hi Andy. I really enjoy your videos and content you make. I'm jumping in here at the 18 min. mark approximately as for an observation of you going into the safe. I don't want to sound overly concerned, but I hope you will be changing the combo to the safe now that you have punched in the combination to open the door for all to see. Just an observation. Like I've always said about my stuff, it's not much, but I'd like it here when I get home, and yes I know you have the dog etc., I'm just saying, and a good St. Paddy's Day to you and the Family.
I’d give a nut for your band saw! Lol. Wish you woulda showed how you heated and cooled your shop. Mine is a 24x32, basically....my equipment has wheels...lol. Trying to decide for next yr on what I’ll use. Summer...garage door is open, winter...jet heater w thermostat.
Thank you So so much for sharing Andy. As a One man shop just starting out in South Africa I really enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
What are your thoughts on a wide belt vs drum sander? I've recently moved from 2500 sq ft with a dual drum back into a garage with neither. If power requirements weren't a factor, would you go wide belt again? These days, I'm mostly making cutting boards and dining tables. I feel like I already know the answer.
Andy, it is always worth celebrating, being able to pay off a loan early. Congrats on that, takes away some pressure. Nicely outfitted shop. My favorite video series was the Oliver bandsaw. I have a similar no name vintage 36" bandsaw. Wish it was a Oliver. I would like to know more about VFD you installed on it and anything else , have not seen. Mine runs so fast , kind of scared of it. Need better control. Anything your willing to share i would appreciate. Keep up the good work. Thanks Keith Parr
Hello my father pass away last week and I’m taking over his cabinet shop. I know some but not enough to be successful so I’m trying to learn. Can you please do a video on your FSP 180 milling machine. How does it work. Please.
The Mortimer should not overheat the chisels. That is normally caused by poor quality tooling or incorrect setting. I guess that the augur is rubbing against the chisel.
I have those same sawhorses. My grandpa made them, unfortunately he passed before I could learn too much from him. But I have a lot of his tools and his love for working with wood.
I have always liked your shop layout and all the nesc equip, etc. Ours is 50 x 100 with drying mezzanines on both sides is and still to small, LOL. Thanks for the walk around Andy.
This is a long video so if you’re interested in specific parts of the shop I’ve time stamped links in the description...thanks for tuning in!!
Love the shop tour, and genuine thoughts.
Interested in that S4S! I've been jointing and planing projects for years now and think it might be time to get something on that level. Any recommendations of places to look?
Get a leaf blower and blow all that dust out man
Andy I really enjoyed your shop tour. As a hobbyist with the usual 8 inch jointer/12 in planer etc etc....that sander and s4s machine are dreamy! What about your sharpening?...you showed the grinder but how do you finish sharpening? Nice shop! Great tour!
Don't worry about how messy things are it looks great and others are far worse 😊👍
37 minutes 46 seconds of pure joy because I'm stuck in self isolation and I'm staring to go insane
Yes you were the only one in isolation, you poor bastard

Thanks for sharing your amazing shop with us, Andy! Best luck to you and your loved ones as this world-wide pandemic unfolds.
Thanks for helping me pass 37 min of self isolation 😁
I really like the writing projects on the wall idea, that's cool
Great video, thanks Andy! You should probably change the code to your liberty safe.

i love that table at 34:30. i havent seen legs that taper heavier at the bottom... cool effect!
Wood surfboard shaping coming sometime in the future! That would be awesome to see
I laughed so hard at 25:34 Andy smacked that drill press so hard haha
Hey Andy thanks for the great video! It was cool to see you talk about some of your process, keeping records, use of your machines and the tools you see as essential.

great looking shop!
love the raw footage
Spray Teflon lube on the mortise bit
This is my yeets sanding machine I’m weak right now
Awesome video I work on heavy equipment and enjoyed the he video all the way to the end now I have another channel to check out cool stuff. Looks like the risk of the loan paid off That’s awesome. Hopefully I can have the success like you have.
thanks for sharing that
Awesome shop. What is the square footage?
Purpose-built flamables cabinets are terribly expensive.

I enjoyed watching. Your work is amazing. What company built your shop, and what size is it?
Thanks
Hi Andy I love your work and your UA-cam channel is what inspired me to start doing woodworking and do you no if the place that you got your table saw from ships to New Zealand because it's really hard to get good masenarey over here
Frank Howarth's UA-cam channel for bowl turning inspiration and CNC router table work.
If you think your space is messy think again, I would upload a video of my shop but right now it looks worse than yours. Cool shop, I like your channel, wish mine was as cool as yours
I have a 1905 36 inch crescent bandsaw that I'm getting up and running. What vfd are you using i can't wait to get mine going.
Love your stuff man. I’m glad you were able to pay the debt.
What finish do you have on the table/desk that is going to Houston?
Machine don't need replaced, just need maintenance....
Don't you make maintenance in your car or truck???
thanks for the code now what is your address just kidding thanks for the video tour.
I love your shop my friend, especially how you have brought to life and extended the usability of those old machines! Most have been discarded and have turned to rust and they were the best. Thank you for taking the time to do this walk through and show us your fantastic shop!! God bless you and your family!

That sinking feeling when you realize the beer fridge is empty
You understand!

Why all woodworkers can't organize their things (including me😁)
Thanks Andy for your thoughts for us here in Italy. I really appreciate it. Please don't underestimate the situation, stay careful, stay safe.
Hey, your shop is wonderland.
Change your gun safe combo...
When you have a clean shop it means your not getting anything done.
Why don‘t you just get a standart water filter for your compressor. I mean they‘re not even expensive and should work better than just some pipes
Nice to see a one man pro shop. You have a great space. I love the big Oliver bandsaw. You should look at Ashley Harwood for a turning class.
Mike
I'll check it out thanks
Beautiful 1920s exterior, love that sliding door!!
Thank you so much for the shop tour. Just curious if in the future you might be replacing your sawstop for a European style sliding table saw such as a Felder 700s?

Really good video Andy! 👍🏻 Thanks for taking the time to make it! 👏
Hi Andy. I really enjoy your videos and content you make. I'm jumping in here at the 18 min. mark approximately as for an observation of you going into the safe.

If you ever get rid of that workbench, I live somewhat nearby and I would put it to good use!
Great tour, love your videos Andy they've inspired me a lot to try building small pieces by hand. Having a go at a coffee cup soon.
Great video , I love seeing how and where you work , keep your videos coming! Thanks again from London , England.
35:30 Good to hear my passive watching is helping small business. I'll use that in my political campaign. "Supports Small Business."
You’re a great inspiration to me. I love your videos and the care you have for this art. Thank you. Backroom Woodworks
I’d give a nut for your band saw! Lol. Wish you woulda showed how you heated and cooled your shop. Mine is a 24x32, basically....my equipment has wheels...lol. Trying to decide for next yr on what I’ll use. Summer...garage door is open, winter...jet heater w thermostat.
hahah yes, the min you started to open it, I said oh no...... I am sure you changed the combo by now.... :)
do you really wanna try and break into his property? probably get shot before you make it to the shop.
I knew that bench looked familiar. I also built Paul´s bench with hand tools. Amazing shop Andy.
Regarding your cleanliness/organizing skills... I think you and I come from the same planet. Peace!
Thank you So so much for sharing Andy.
As a One man shop just starting out in South Africa I really enjoy watching your channel. Keep up the amazing work!
Awesome to see that you were influenced by Paul Sellers. I can say that i am influenced by both of you guys. Great vid!
Love your channel! Honored to be first comment!

I trust you, I paused your video, went immediately to Mr Seller's channel and subscribed, thank you sir.
Awesome! You wont regret it.
Interesting what you said about the sawstop thinking about getting one next year. Also if you come across any machinery let me know I'm from Texas.
How about a adjustable drafting table for architects/ engineers 36"x48" minimum
George nakashima is from my old hometown
Check the runout on the metal disc on that sander. I use a dial indicator on a mag base. Think of a warped brake rotor on a vehicle.....
I have those same sawhorses. My grandpa made them, unfortunately he passed before I could learn too much from him. But I have a lot of his tools and his love for working with wood.
Interesting and inspirational video. New to the channel ... subscribed fore sure! Thanks 🙏
Excellent shop tour! Thanks for taking us around. Congrats on your success! Wishing you and family a safe 2020 as we go forward.
I wanna see a wooden surf board
Hey Andy! Would you say that the moulder could replace a jointer / planer? If you could only have one or the other, would you go with the moulder?
better change the combo on your safe
That's like my dream shop, a man could get some work done in that place. Really nice
In today's climate Craigslist is an excellent source for used widebelt sanders. Ditto molders.
We use a Quincey air compressor just like the one you have. Very good compressor
Would love to have a shop like this.
I hope you changed the combination to your safe after making this video. ;)
GSG.
Nice shop man.
Went from good to great with the Spurs banner.
Still hurting about that planer purchase it seems. We all have a purchase like that.
Haha....Closed Caption interpreted "coping saws" to "cooking sauce".
When your phase converter dies on you you ought to just get a VFD. Single phase input three phase out
I have always liked your shop layout and all the nesc equip, etc. Ours is 50 x 100 with drying mezzanines on both sides is and still to small, LOL. Thanks for the walk around Andy.
Where did you get the vintage machinery? Any places you recommend?
Hey Andy. Your Paul Sellers link isn’t working. Thought you might want to fix it :)
Really love your channel and projects. God bless.
Think your the new guy ( for me) to watch. Looking forward to seeing more
Lol I was like, why does he call it the "bitch" area?
Nano purification for an air dryer, check them out!
