New Year. New Workshop. Let's set it up.

- G'day everyone,
Over the Christmas break I moved home, and the new place that I am staying at has a spare spot in the garage for a small workshop. Now I have no plans to move the workshop to this place, that is staying put. But I do have a few projects planned for this space , including the need to quickly make up a few pieces of furniture. So I need to set up the new workshop and get it ready.
I will make a basic workbench from some 2x4 timber. I have a new miter saw that I'd like to try out.
I will then make a custom shelving unit for the pantry. Finally I will make up a small tv console for the living room.

Hello woodworking UA-cam. I come in peace. Sincerely Metalworking Hacksaw Guy
We welcome you to the world of dead tree carcass working. Your peace offering is graciously accepted, and we promise to not sacrifice you to the trees. :P
Your initial builds look impressive, and you've done an excellent job considering the tools you have. If you decide to pursue more woodworking projects, I highly recommend investing in a track saw. It's fantastic for achieving precise straight cuts and can replace both a large miter saw and a table saw, providing similar results, and you can upgrade it's possibility with so many accessories and jigs. While it may not always be the optimal choice, I can vouch for its effectiveness, as I use it in my professional woodworking projects as well. Keep up the good work.
To use a (badly paraphrased) blondiehackism...
nice to see you using the fancy expanded cellulose composite fibre material.
Hope the extra area works as you like!
Don't know why it won't let me just post a comment, I have to do a reply. I like watching anything you do. You have a way of doing things that spark the interest in many people. I know a few people that have decided to try to make something that they saw you do and they fell in love with metalwork.
A+ dude. Keep it up.
I can agree with @_john_doe_ that a track saw (plunge saw) is a good affordable alternative to a mitor saw or table saw, especially if you don't have much space. That's what I use for a nice strait edge.
Your TV table turned out great, Well done,
@1:21 - "I get to see my grandparents..." This justifies leaving the old shop where it is and everything forward. It's something that you should cherish being able to do. When they're gone, you will fondly remember the times.
Cabinet maker here. Congratulations man! What you have done here is quite impressive given the tools, materials, and experience you have. That is a very respectable piece of furniture you have made and you should be proud. Nice work with the inset doors and the hinge install. Honestly what you did here is harder than making it in a “real shop”. There is a machine that makes pocket holes super easy and fast, there’s a jig for drilling out the hinge cups in the doors. Doing all that stuff manually, and teaching yourself along the way is honestly way more impressive. The only advice I would give is to make the back panel from a nice sanded plywood instead of a solid wood panel to account for wood movement. That back panel in a high humidity summer will likely expand in width around 1/8”. However your side and partitions will not expand in length vertically. The back may end up pushing the top and bottom apart. If I was designing this, I would make the sides and ends full depth, and the internal partitions smaller based on the thickness of the back panel. Inset or rabbet the back panel and you should be good to go.
Fantastic post
Good advice. Thank you.
as someone who does actually sleep next to the lathe, not all that bad. my dreams have been perfectly concentric since.
Seeing a 123 block being used to square up a wood frame, made me smile. I thought I was the only one 😊
Also i'm sensing a little bit of the This Old Tony energy and i'm here for it
Artisan Woodworking!
Starting 2024 strong with a calf reveal! In all seriousness the second part felt like a legit woodworking video. And the finished cabinet looks great!
When I saw the 123 block and the metal file being used I definitely saw the metalworker coming through 😂
.. yeah, I was wanting to comment about chamfering ...
I thought 'breaking the edges' was verging on taking the piss :)
the little legs are so 1960s, I love it :D
Woodworking enjoyer here - what I've realized is seeing others design, plan, and execute builds to tolerances is what I enjoy. Hell, I came to your channel from This Old Tony. Very well done on all of the builds this episode.
Aw, poor pine. Workhorse of woodworking. Grows pretty fast for a tree and relatively straight making it a cheap renewable construction material. Fairly soft and light but still strong enough for furniture. Constructed boards have the advantage of resisting warping inherent in the wood, too. But as an old hobby woodworker myself I gotta say, that TV console 🔥🔥🔥
“I’m not much of a woodworker” proceeds to do fully functional joinery (albeit using screws in place of clamps for glue ups)
Very very well done! As a woodworker i can say this is great. Also good tools don't make good things, don't let tool snobs discourage you! Theese Furnitures, ESPECIALLY done with regular guys tools by a non woodworker turned out VERY good!
The project I'm waiting for is a bandsaw 😊
Out of wood maybe
What? You don't enjoy watching him saw through 3" bar stock with a hacksaw?
Nice job with the workbench and the TV stand.
I'd love to see his right forearm 😂
MatthiasWandel has videos and plans ... just sayin'
Top stuff mate.
“I don’t think my neighbours will appreciate me setting up a noisy metalwork shop”
Proceeds to setup a noisy cabinet making shop.
Brilliant. I love it.
There are a whole lot of us woodworkers that can relate to this video - you start out buying tools that kind of do the job - call them Intro tools. As you build your skills and confidence, you can justify making better tool purchases! I gotta say the shelving unit came out okay but the TV stand - NICE!!!
Now that you have the "spare" shop just go for it -
Oh and those pocket jigs and screws are great. Good choice!
I really like the design of the TV cabinet.
A man, a new house, a dog, some tools, some pieces of wood and some ideas.
This guys is leave the dream !
Congrats my man. The video really quite enjoyable and relaxing.
Hope see more content like that.
And good luck with the new place.
For all those tool snobs, the Ryobi is made by the same company and at the same factory as Milwaukee. I got on that platform years ago because they promised to never obsolete a battery format. Granted that might have hurt them a little over the size and shape constraints but the fact I have migrated to much better tools and batteries over the years, without having to do an all out swap, it pretty awesome.
Yes it is. But go see the tests..
@@Olddufferracing777Plenty of people slag off Ryobi, but I also notice that a lot of engineers, trained and otherwise, use their stuff and it gives good service. I know, ‘influencers’ and stuff, but when I saw one guy whose welding and inventiveness I greatly admire using Ryobi stuff, I decided that was good enough for me. I’ve not regretted that decision.
I’m not a tool snob I just really like my heated sweatshirt and the batteries just happen to work with the tools. I bought the sweatshirt first 😂😂😂😂
They’re ok tools for the home prosumer. They used to be true pro tools years ago. But a lot of pro brands are, or have already gone away.
@@Olddufferracing777 Good thing we don’t need other people’s opinion to form an own. I have yet to break a tool and when it does they are dirt cheap to replace. And Im actually glad my power drill id not bluetooth enabled or all those other shenanigans.
Seriously, the TV console looks fantastic. I'm so impressed with the quality you managed here. I love the leather handles on the cabinet doors and I might steal the idea for myself.
This helps inspire me to make the cabinetry for my new garage/workshop.
This old Tony would be proud.
Now you have enough space for a bandsaw😂
Who needs a bandsaw when you have hacksaw skills like this guy?
@graealex I think he looks like the Gigachad because of his hacksaw skills
@@katzikon7734 I don't even understand why he has a mill. He could just hacksaw, file and chisel the metal into submission.
Addendum: has a lathe and a mill and a press. But seemingly no hammer.
Think of what can be cut with the correct blade in that chop saw!
@@graealex He doesn't even meed the mill - he's got a router :)
8:36 oh you sweet summer child... Miter saw dust collection is not a rabbit hole you want to try and find the bottom of!
Perfect !
Definitely down to see more content like this in the future!
We're interested😅 and splendid👌work on that TV stand.
Great job for someone who is not a full time wood worker. Just goes to show that you don't need $1000's in tools to make nice wood furniture.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Bravo!
I haven't read all the comments, so it's probably already been mentioned, but a triangle is theoretically undeformable, while a rectangle is. Your workbench has only rectangles and I assume it will have to endure a lot. It can become much more rigid by adding some triangles. For example, a tension rod from top left to bottom right and one from top right to bottom left at the back or halfway will make the table much more stable. A few M6 or M8 tension bars with some nuts and couplers if need be, should be sufficient. Of course you can also make the sides super rigid this way.
Nice TV cabinet! Really great work for a wood novice.
Nicely done mate. Looking forward to more wood and metal.
great job thanks for mixing it up
Großartige Arbeit! Gratulation und viele Grüße nach Russland.
Good to see Ozito being put to use! My Ozito jigsaw is still running after 10 years and fairly regular abuse. $20 well spent!
That tv center turned out awesome!! I like how you made everything urself.
That is the most amazing wooden TV console I've ever seen made by a beginner
Variety is always good especially if its somewhat related (making something)
Nice work mate. That dark blue color is awesome.
I love your metal working content but as a woodworker I ABSOLUTELY would love more woodworking content from you. That TV stand turned out great. Sure, you could have gotten something from IKEA that would have worked but this is a borderline legacy piece that is far more durably built. It is truly something you can be proud of for years to come. Well done mate, see ya next week 😁
Enjoyed it
This is making me want to finallty build out my workshop properly too! Another cracking video as always
The leather handles are a nice touch.
From my POV, Australian primary woodshop education. Learn to use a handsaw to make straight and quick cuts in wood. My dad would always ask how I cut plywood cleanly.
I built the almost same wood workbench for my 3D Printers 2 years ago. I added lights and plugs for the low shelf. Same conclusion as you the store furniture is low quality, fits badly and so expensive. Now I build every workshop furnitures I need : wood/metal mobile workbench, metal workbench with drawers for my mini lathe. It takes time to design and build but it is so gratifying to be surrounded by nice things we created from scratch.
Beautiful end result! well done!
Very good job, I’ve improved my self over the years
You did an excellent job, I loved seeing the 1-2-3 block being used for woodworking g
Very cool!!
Nicely done.
Outanding effort mate give your self a pat on the back. WELL DONE!
Hey man good stuff. I love seeing stuff being made and I love to just sort of go along on the journey. It's always nice to hear someone's insight and their thought process, so in my opinion, feel free to share all your woodworking projects with us. I may be more of a metal guy, but woodworking is a necessity too for most hobbyist. Appreciate you sharing.
Okay, I need a double like button just for the ninja :)
Welcome to furniture making. Nice entry 😊
That TV cabinet is awesome!!
Ngl the cabinet looks super nice
Thanks for sharing 👍
Mate you have killed those 3 projects! They look good and they function as intended, great success!
Hey - you know with the right circular saw blade, that dropsaw could cut metal. Mine does aluminium really cleanly, with an 80 tooth aliexpress blade.
To make the dust collection work "better" you can add an enclosure behind the blade to "funnel" dust at the existing dust port.
Mine's 3d printed but improved things from 0%-useless to about 2/3 of dust captured.
Bro, that tv unit looks amazing 👏 cool to see you working with a different medium 👍
Nothing wrong with Ryobi. Good on you man👍
Wow... _very_ impressed! Not sure I'm buying the whole 'I'm a beginner' claim. 🤔
@3:06 - You had the perfect opportunity to toss in a shot of cutting 2x4's with a hacksaw. I would have spit my coffee across the room if you sis that.
love it 😍
One suggestion - in the central section, drill some shelf support peg holes and get a piece of toughened glass cut to size for a shelf....
Very cool good job thanks for the video
Nice job! Well done.
Well done!
Cool 😎 video
That looks great!
you weren't wrong about that $135 "Pinnacle", I've got the harbor freight version, sheet metal legs will make you laugh aloud as it sways side to side. I stuck a former desktop on it sacrificially, affixed it to wall w/ screws, now it's useable....
that outcome was really gorgeous, I made an oak cabinet in the '80s and used crystal glass spherical handles that had facets like a cut gem, 'twas fabulous.
Good stuff
Great video. Love both your metalworking and woodworking stuff. You just have an eye for videography so I'd love to watch anything you make. Would love to see more.
Good job, looks great 👍
Grab yourself an impact driver.. They are life-changing in terms of tools. Handy for wood and great for removing stuck screws/nuts on small metal projects.
dust collections working a treat
Excellent and well done. Your choice of finish was quite nice. Now you need a circular saw!
Wow. That leap in quality from the pantry shelf to the TV cabinet 🤯😲
Nice job!
You get the most out of the least, I must say.
If you turn your own dowels, with the grain running the other way, they will all but disappear when you plug the screw holes. Or use a dowel plug cutter
And possibly use contrasting color wood and use the plugs as a design element.
Nice job !!
Nicely done sir
This was really interesting and I think you did a fantastic job! Well done
As a carpenter and electrician that owns a handful of different brands of tool. Ryobi tools are just fine for a weekend builder. I have a few things from them I have been using for years. They have worked a lot harder then just weekend projects and still going strong.
Nice job..
Laminated pine with a nice veneer is better than particle board with trash veneer 👍
I'd be pleased with that too, and yeah keep em coming
Now that all looked and worked fine, and the TV cabinet was - I thought - superb! Leather pulls set it off wonderfully too. Real wood every time, even if it is laminated.
Wood work, metalwork, all grist to the mill for me. You do you, and I’ll watch and pick up tips as you go along. Thanks! Les in UK 🇬🇧
They look great mate. I like the look. it don't need stain if you like it too. Respect. 😊
You guys 2x4's look alot better than what we have here in the states.
That's why it cost him $250!
Well done, Im happy for you!
Love the ninja cameo!
These turned out so well. Thanks for sharing the project and congratulations on your new place. I've really enjoyed watching your channel, projects, and yourself evolve since you began posting. 🙂
Please sprinkle in some more wood working in the mix! The cabinet was amazing! Thanks for sharing!🤛
You sir have exceeded what many ‘woodworkers’ have tried to do over many years. Really nice result. You should be pleased. Thanks for the video.
Loved the v video. It came out great!!
Great job! 👍
A very nice console indeed. Well done 👍
I like the way you use your 1-2-3 blocks for woodworking.
Nice job mate!
