Thank you for posting. I too have a 280 sq/ft shop. However, it is a 14x20 tin shed with a eve/leg height of 81" (Just enough head room, and not enough vertical space for storage). My grandfather had it put up over 45+ years ago. Right now it is over crowded and unorganized. I have power and hand tools, mechanic tools, welder and some other misc stuff. An other issue I have is the shed leaks. I have another 10x14 tin shed which is 50+ years old. This was the first one my grandfather had put up. Got it all emptied and cleaned up. Working on it to seal it up from leaks. Then I can move mostly everything in there to work on sealing up the 14x20 shed. Then, work on setting up and organizing my shop with the most frequently used tools. Other tools will be stored in the smaller shed.
Man, I've been there! My garage/shop was in a terrible state not too long ago. Leaky roof, rotten walls, doors that wouldn't open. That extra 10x14 space will be awesome. I'm debating getting a sea can/storage pod thing for the winter to store some extra stuff, but can't quite bring myself to spend the money on the rental. I have long term aspirations to add on to the shop. One day!
Hi! New subscriber here. You mention at 14:50 that you were able to fix the snipe on your dewalt planer. Can you elaborate on what you did to fix this issue, please? I have the same model and getting snipe on every pass. Any insight is appreciated.
I don’t have a great answer… I aligned the tables pretty carefully to make sure they are perfectly level with the base. I then adjusted the outside of the tables so they are ever so slightly higher. That worked for me for a while, but a bit of snipe has returned. I’m tempted to try again, but also a bit afraid I’ll make it worse!
@@ryandaywoodworking I could hear the hesitation in your voice to even speak about it, you say the wrong thing and that snipe will come back with a vengeance lol
You can put a elbow on the planner dust port to direct the hose to the side instead of having to elevate the hose of the back exit table. After all these years of selling planners you would think they would direct dust collection right or left and not straight.They actually do on the bigger models. I have half dozen of the magnet couplers and they are real nice but the weight of the 4 inch hose can cause separation if you accidently hit it so I put small spring clamps to keep them from falling to floor and breaking. Also in my shop I use wheels on my minor tools (router, pantorouter, ban saw, radial arm saw) and move my tools to my Laguna dust collection. My shop is in the basement which gives me a little more room than a garage but has it own set of problems. Best to you.
Thanks for sharing... You got a lot in a very small space. It shows me I got some work to do but I can reorganize and get some space back... Thanks for sharing.
Great shop tour. Could I get more information on the automated blast gates you used. I always have a hard time to close mine when I finish with a tool.
Nice shop. Lots of ideas that you shared in this video. One thing I will mention is that I am not a fan of peg board. Seems like every time I take something off the darn pegs/hooks try to come with the item. Finally spent the money on covering all the walls with French cleats. So much better and a huge improvement in my 153 square feet.
I 100% agree. I should have mentioned that in the video. Pegboard sucks. :) I've thought about getting that metal pegboard, but for the cost I think a French cleat wall will be the best option.
@WoodworkingforAnyone the peg kit I bought off Amazon has little plastic clips, but they pretty quickly loosen up and fall out. I’ll see if I can find some metal ones!
Hello Ryan. Fellow Canadian (and recent subscriber) here. Also, another guy with a small shop (single car garage). For what it's worth, here are a few organisational principles you might consider... - Keep like things together whenever practical. For instance, consolidate all of the bike-related gear and tools that are currently in several places, especially as these seem to be largely nonessential and apt to get in the way. - Think about how you might utilize your upper wall space to greater effect. For instance, less used items higher up, and commonly used items within arm's reach and possibly in open access. Tool bays like Ron Paulk has in his trailer or that Mike Farrington has in his Tensu cabinet (this is a video well worth checking out -- he's a master) allow several commonly-used smaller power tools to be captured in a tight space, and be easily at hand. - If there are tools or stuff you no longer use, eliminate them. Less really is more, especially in a small space. - Create simple dividers or boxes in your drawers to keep items organized and easily found. They will accommodate more, and everything will be findable. Consider replacing some or all deeper drawers with two shallower drawers, as deep drawers (such as your Milwaukee power tool drawer) tend to be places where things go to die. Those are just a few quick suggestions, recognizing that we all think and function a little differently, and that any system you create must align with your own practices and preferences. Best of luck with your channel and your business.
Very nice Ryan, thank you. I try to keep my shop organized and as dust free as possible. Awhile back I had a friend come over and he made a comment that he had never been in a shop as clean as mine.. on another subject you either have a very low ceiling or you are a very tall person😀😀
Mine definitely isn't always this clean, but I really try to keep up on it. There's nothing worse than having to clean up before you start. Regarding the ceiling, it's a bit of both. :) The ceilings are around 7'10" and I'm 6'3".
I use those Ivac blast gates too and while they are pricey, looking back, it was worth every penny!! No Regrets on that purchase! I put my planer and the spindle sander on a Fisher type flip cart. I mention it because that Dewalt stand just isn't very efficient and I plane outside so the wheels didn't like the drop in concrete between the garage floor and the driveway (even with a lil ramp!). Anyway, I made that cart specifically in height to allow me to easily load the planer. I didn't want to be lifting the wood as I load or bending down. As it turned out, it ended up putting the spindle, belt sander at the exact height I like to operate that tool at. Your taller so your cart height would likely be higher, but the operating height relationship to those two tools should be pretty close to perfect. Next up, I need to make some clip on, lightweight infeed and outfeed tables for the planer that are based off the flip cart height. I hate chasing the wood as I plane.
Great video! My shop is the same size and I have almost the same tool mix and struggle with placement. I’ve been debating doing a new out feed table and putting my lift in it, you answered my question. Thanks for the good ideas.
Great video Ryan, thanks for sharing. It was interesting for me as we have most of the exact same tools, then I found out we are even in the same city lol. Appreciate the tour!
I have the Bosch mitre saw as well. I added the dust collection attachment available from Shop Nation and attached it to a small shop vac. For me, dust collection is about 95% on average. It's not perfect but way better that the stock setup. My shop is about the same size and in my basement so good dust collection on everything is a must.
@@ryandaywoodworking he made a pretty good video about them exploding. Obviously he has an incentive to minimize the issue, but his analysis of the situation made sense to me.
@@ryandaywoodworking I own the 3d STL files for this and use it on my Bosch. I have had one of mine explode. I wasn't doing any of the things he did in his video. I printed another one and still use it, it reduces dust a lot compared to anything else I have tried (hood, vents behind the saw, home made box like Fisher shop built). If you have a 3d printer I would print your own so when it eventually breaks you can print another. I'm on my 4th in almost 2 years.
I look forward to your video on how you went about tuning up your jointer! I have the same model and recently went through the process myself and found it rather hard and frustrating!
Nice space. My shop is a 2 car garage at around 420 or so square feet and I am constantly wishing I had more space. Your space gives me perspective. Haha. But you have it set up quite nicely! Very cool.
Great to see how other small shops are set up. I just put a garage addition on my house with a workshop space about the same size as yours that I'm getting ready to start organizing. My biggest decision to make right now is whether I want to try and run PVC around for the dust collection or just move the dust collector from place to place as I need it. And of course I'm sure whatever I decide will be wrong and I'll want to change it in a couple years! Looks like you've got a good system set up for what you do.
I’m happy with my PVC so far. Everything I’ve done in terms of power and dust plumbing is easily adjustable for when I inevitably change the layout of add a tool. PVC is fairly inexpensive and easy to work with. One day I would like a 5” or 6” metal duct system, but I’m not yet ready to commit to a layout. One thing to consider is when moving a hose around, you are inevitably going to be stepping over it and tripping on it.
Banger video! Must not get as cold as here in Ontario, wish I could use the garage. Few questions if you don’t mind! Detail sander sucks? Rikon band saw, I’m looking at the same - what’d you pay used? And finally, why are you so hard on your organization!! I think, and comparing to myself, you’re doing great. Ps nice busy bee quick connect ;)
Thanks! It gets cold in Calgary. :) with the heater I can keep it at 20 degrees pretty easily, even when it’s -30 out. It’s just expensive. :) I ran 100 amp service to the shop so power is no concern. The detail sander leaves tons of scratches. So if I use it in hard to get to areas, I have to hand sand out the scratches so doesn’t really save much time. I paid $1,400 for the bandsaw. It’s been awesome! I actually got the quick connects from KMS on half price! I need two more.
Great video! You shop is much more organized than mine. I hope to create my own channel as well, but I have a day job and it just means it takes me longer to do everything (organizing, tidying up, building new things, filming, etc.)
I know the feeling! I have a day job and two young kids. It's a constant balance to find time and keep everything moving forward. I try to be as efficient and organized as possible, but it's honestly a constant struggle. This business is my retirement plan, so hopefully it works out! :)
Thanks for the tour. Do you have any issues with the real cold days specifically with paints and glues? It looks like you have electrical heat. Do you have high electric bills? I live in Edmonton and have similar heating in my insulated shop. I’m only a hobbyist so would love to know about your winter shop habits.
I keep it around 5 degrees when I’m not working or don’t have glue drying. Sometimes I will think to bring glue in the house so it stays warm. If I have a glue up or paint drying I will keep it warmer. It certainly adds up!
Enjoyed the video. Note* a “lunchbox” style planer is a two-post planer, shaped more vertically like an old style lunchbox. The DW735 is a four post planer and much more square/heavier, not lunchbox style
Nice video, looking great. What is the air sensor that you mention close to the beginning. I need to monitor myair quality in my shop, do you have a link? I recently changed my duct work to a 6” pvc from 4”. Surprisingly it makes a big difference, shouldn’t be really as the area of 6” is much bigger than the 4”. Also, you can get a Hammer jointer/planer from Felder get 2 in one foot print. Not cheap but well worth it. Stay safe
Here's a link to the air monitor I have: amzn.to/3XLkyz8 It works really well, but it has to stay plugged in. it will die after about 10 min on battery. Not a huge deal for me, as I leave it plugged in all the time. I have it connected through Apple's HomeKit to a smart outlet that turns on my air purifier if the air quality drops. I've looked long and hard at the Hammer combo units. I'm almost certainly going to get the 16 at some point, but they are super expensive. It will be nearly $10k Canadian by the time it's all said and done.
This one from Amazon. It seems to work well. I got it because it works with HomeKit so can view air quality from my phone and use it to turn on my air filter if it gets bad. www.amazon.com/Qingping-Monitor-Compatible-Temperature-Humidity/dp/B092HK4BB1/ref=sr_1_4?crid=2G97ILCGTFRB8&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.XIh_zyb5L9JlrhepQ-_cM01dIiVXJ06OC8LntyNLtkFNGKnGB3EnMkHm6jX4rOUm-MJMugxWPRFObzFhwP0OiZ5b8Yq26T0GSa39oezXg8SWJGPqbDpJ2tVji8DCsIMtAaiR-pYanxlNgcDQXjiqMlO9pyOBfg98bN-J64R07DXKfxLHSsMwDQDiR_4oHBOCbcexSGVTyXalRX07taGc1CFvSvX0XKpKW3uuPB_7Lg0.ZZrwBwlOFRsH-YyeYkeg2XZ1MLDIj1E3BP67FWsxyD8&dib_tag=se&keywords=homekit+air+quality+meter&qid=1734108894&sprefix=homekit+air+quality+met%2Caps%2C225&sr=8-4
I have a helical head in my dewalt planer, it’s most definitely not quieter. Maybe a different pitch, but still plenty loud. Hearing protection is required in any case.
@@ryandaywoodworkingI think it’s impossible to significantly tame the noise of any lunchbox planer because the main culprit is the universal motor. If you move up to a cast iron planer with an induction motor, it will change your life. Watch Grizzly for stellar sales. About a month ago, they had a 15” Shop Fox 3 horsepower planer with helical head for only US $1895.
That's a great deal! what I think is the equivalent Craftex model up here is on sale for $3500 right now. I'll look in to shipping Grizzly stuff to Canada.
What sort of projects do you do for your customers. Do you specialize in something? And, how did you fall into woodworking? I'd be interested in videos on those topics. take care.
There's only so much you can do to organize a small shop. Wouldn't it be nice to have a shop large enough where you have to worry about workflow rules? Anyway, great job on the video and your tiny shop setup/organization. I'll just say one more thing and I'm glad you didn't edit this out because it made me laugh. "spinder sandle". 😁
Nice shop and nice walk through!
Thanks 👍
Looks awesome Ryan!

@ryandaywoodworking thanks for the quick reply.
I have a helical head in my dewalt planer, it’s most definitely not quieter. Maybe a different pitch, but still plenty loud. Hearing protection is required in any case.
Great to know. Thanks for sharing! My challenge with the bigger style/quieter planers is their size. I'm not sure if I could squeeze one in.
@@ryandaywoodworkingI think it’s impossible to significantly tame the noise of any lunchbox planer because the main culprit is the universal motor. If you move up to a cast iron planer with an induction motor, it will change your life. Watch Grizzly for stellar sales. About a month ago, they had a 15” Shop Fox 3 horsepower planer with helical head for only US $1895.
That's a great deal! what I think is the equivalent Craftex model up here is on sale for $3500 right now. I'll look in to shipping Grizzly stuff to Canada.
@@ryandaywoodworking It was probably their steepest planer discount (38% off) in 6 months or so, but they have frequent sales in general.
What sort of projects do you do for your customers. Do you specialize in something? And, how did you fall into woodworking? I'd be interested in videos on those topics. take care.
My projects are a real mix, from table tops to tables, to chairs and beds.
Absolutely
What are the dimensions of your outfeed table? Thanks!
Just over 6’ by just under 4’. I have a couple videos on the build if you want to see more! :)
There's only so much you can do to organize a small shop. Wouldn't it be nice to have a shop large enough where you have to worry about workflow rules? Anyway, great job on the video and your tiny shop setup/organization. I'll just say one more thing and I'm glad you didn't edit this out because it made me laugh. "spinder sandle". 😁
Thanks for watching! Having a huge shop would be nice, but there is something really nice about being able to work out of the home.
Spinder-Sandal????
It’s funny, I probably watched that part 30 times and didn’t catch it. :-)
I heard that right away... thought it was awesome. If I ever get one, I'm sure I'll be calling it a spinder sandal.
@troykelly639 😂
@troykelly639 haha
Nice video bro. Not to be nit picky, but its.a 10-inch table saw with a 52 inch fence :)
For sure. That just seemed a bit wordy. :-)
Get rid off the table saw, buy a radial arm saw. Saves space and is way better when it comes to sawing.
And then I would have to worry about banging my left arm on things! After I’ve cut it off. :-)
Get rid of your camera man/woman and get 2 tripods and set them up. The mouvement of the camera is nauseating….imo
Most of my videos are shot using tripods. Sorry about the movement, it's hard to keep an 11 year old standing still. :)
i didn’t mind it lmao kinda funny sometimes
He was pretty proud. Great to have him help out.
