You have rewarded us with your knowledge, so we are both happy for you in addition to being proud of you based on all the hard work you have put in to perfect your craft and see you bear the fruits of your endeavor! Good going young man.
Why thank you for asking, and yes it was 0:06 seconds in when I noticed the Kapex. 😁
Things are looking good Spencer. I'll bet your wife is thrilled to get a garage to park in this winter. A few things I would say. Consider changing the 90 degree fittings on your dust collection to a pair of 45's at the top of your drop from table saw, joiner, and planer. Also where you drop down at the cyclone. Watch for condensation building up in your compressor in a unheated space. Unless you find a great deal on lumber, I would only store what you need for a known project. No sense in having money tied up in excess inventory. Operate as lean as you can. Shops have a way of getting full no matter what size they are. May God continue to bless you and your business.
Thanks! If it's any consolation the adjustable elbows are all long sweep elbows so the turn isn't too tight. The system was designed by oneida so I think it's ok. I'm pretty happy with the suction there. So far I've found that I can keep all three machines open and still have good suction.
@@InsiderCarpentry It's the two 90s + the wye right at the inlet of the DC that's problematic. You'd be better off with a gradual rise. It's really critical the first 10' or so is straight to avoid turbulence that's going to cause issues with separation in the cyclone itself. It's also likely causing performance problems. Obviously nothing is ever perfect, but this seems like a fixable problem.
All the best!
You’re smiling throughout this video. It’s obvious you’re realizing a dream in real time.
In my old shop
Consider these “shop improvements”
I built a torsion box for my out feed table. I used 61” x 145” Formica 949 (white). We evidently put cabinet along the long edge. I also had plug drops hanging from the ceiling over the work tables.
Finally. Put wheels under your “Brute” trash cans.
I’m so happy for you Spencer. I hope work is lined up for you and Paul, but hopefully you can work on the shop too.
Ps. My kids loved coming to the shop and riding their scooters all around.
Again, this is Fantastic!
With the amount of plywood you go through a sliding table saw would definitely pay for itself in very little time. It’s a whole different thing. You got enough on your plate for now but down the road you gotta look into it. The Sawstop is still great to have. With all the room you have I would definitely have both. Wicked happy for you. This shop is a dream!!!
I’m really happy for you have a shop like this . The time you’ve put into your videos has helped me more than you could ever know to make me not only a better carpenter but a better person too. Thank you again.
I appreciate that!
You're living the dream with your awesome new property. Congratulations!
Spencer, You said in the beginning. You'll be tweaking this space as long as you're alive. When you think its done, another project will pop up and throw a wrench in your plan😢😢. The old question thats asked is "How do you eat an elephant?" 1 bite at a time. Youre off to a great beginning here, so don't dwell on it too much. As need be you will put things in place. They'll make sense at the right time and you can see things clearly at that point. Dont try to do it all now. Youre up and running, so just let things come to you. You've got the rest of your career to make changes----and you will make changes😊😊. Things look great, enjoy it for a bit and relax.
Shop looks fantastic! I can’t help but notice that since you bought it, your face looks like a kid on Christmas!
I was a contractor for over 30 years and I Love your new shop ,it is the shop I had always dreamed about. You are doing great keep it up.
Mezzanine can be a bowling alley, small golf area, you need a relax zone, happy gor you man😊
Looking awesome Spencer! Couple thoughts… build a large spray booth on the cold side for projects but you could also rent it out to generate some side cash. Maybe build a small elevator for tools to go up to your loft. Then you can grab what you need on a cart and lower it down ready to rock! You could frame in the loft if you want to keep the dust off. Keep up the great work!
I thought you were going to end that video without mentioning the kapex. I guess it doesn't matter how big the shop is, having a rail forward saw in the miter station is the only way it doesn't feel like a waste of space. I have a bunch of DeWalt saws and a Bosch in the garage.
I've always thought that a small drawback of having a big shop is the lack of wall space. I wonder if there's a partition wall that makes sense near your assembly table that you could mount a boom arm.
Super happy for you. It would be hard for me to articulate how much this channel has helped me over the years.
I've never seen you smile so much so that's I all need to know! Very happy for you. On the mezzanine @17:00 maybe you could add a lift/elevator a la Jay Bates' shop? Could store a lot of lumber for example. Also, looking forward to your Golf Simulator build (a la April Wilkerson) 😂 God Bless brother!
Retired after fifty+ years in the carpentry trade. Over thirty years doing finish. The body has been good but as I added numbers to my age and even though finish carpentry is easier than some other trades it takes its toll. Planing for the future I was going to make the transition to woodworking. Every bit as intense with more rewards. You have a dream shop and just maybe you have a plan. You have good hands a blessing from the creator. You take care and its nice to see you share what the new carpentry is doing. Keep Cheerful.
As a young man time = money As we get older time is a bonus. .Enjoy your shop I am envious
It's great to see you expanding. You have certainly earned it. Thanks for sharing your process and insight. It will be helpful when I build a shop. For now I shall live vicariously.
Shop is looking great!
My recommendation for add ons.
A tipping rolling cart for sheet goods, set sheets on vertical for space saving.
Medium size 3x6 carts in between stations.
When needed tip it horizontal and slide right onto the tablesaw.
At 48 ,wish I would have taken better care of my back and joints when I was younger.
Having just moved a big 10 hp 500lb dust collector from floor onto a mezzanine, and running 250 ft of ductwork in an active cabinet shop.
Our local lumber yard charges $75 per hour (including their driving time) for a forklift fee.
It was well worth it and was able to get it going again with only 4 hrs of downtime.
Sometimes hiring a service is cheaper especially when you're busy
Again it looks great!
Yikes! That's a big one!
Let's go Spencer! 👏👏👏👏👏
Like the new look! Only suggestions I have: Enclose the compressor to have it heated. Not sure how cold the other side of the garage will get. And always drain it!! too often I see large units, that the guys never maintain :) 2nd idea is that the lumber rack is too far from the garage door. I would have put the rack to the RIGHT of the Kapex. Long walk to store stock.
Looks great!!
I think that I didn't do that because it would have shifted my miter saw further down the wall and away from my assembly area. It was all trade offs and compromises trying to find the best layout.
Ok, I was focused on the total wall surface, the locations of the step ladders, and the 2nd set of floor sweeping tools :)
Still a great space boss!! Kudos for you to have the courage to grow that big !!!
@@InsiderCarpentry
I enjoy how down to earth you are as a person, Spencer. Your skills in the trade have guided me to become a better craftsman and business owner. Your character in life has guided me to be a better person. Congratulations on your business growth and for getting a little PL 3 on your fingers every so often to let us know it can pay off later on down the line.😁
I appreciate the kind words and support Michael!
Great comment! 👍👍
You want his sliding DeWalt saw. Say it!!!!!!!!
We have a large fork lift out doors for unloading lumber and a hyster double reach fork lift indoors, it’s the type you see in Home Depot, can turn on a dime, it works great for pulling lumber down and plywood in our tight space,
That is a sweet shop layout. Well thought out for a one or two man operation with options that can easily be expanded for a day when you grow to a crew of six or eight.
Thanks for walking us through what it takes to operate at a level that is a cut above the rest.
Blessings, Don
Awesome space! In our shop we use old style four poster carts to move wood from saw to jointer to planer etc. I highly recommend them, and you now have space for that. The carts have two large wheels in the center so they pivot. And small swivel wheels at each end. They’re awesome. Love the channel, and all your content. Keep it up! 😊
Winch elevator for the mezzanine ! 4x4 or so. could roll finished cabinets right onto it and store up on the mezzanine
That mezzanine is the size of my house 😂. Amazing space! Love the channel
I'm jealous. All my crap is thrown in the work trailer or the back of my truck.
11/3/23; ..yes Spencer, all your efforts to customize yur new shop layout looks great! Great to hear you prioritize 'core' machine locations then 'fine tune' other tool locations later. All is good here! Stay safe & carry on!👍🔧🪚⚒️👍😊
Shop is looking great! You might need to purchase a skid steer for the property. Winter is coming. Might need snow removal. It would be nice to have the forks for material delivery too.
5:55 That smile on your face speaks volumes. You will get to a point that you will have guys out doing your installs, while you stay at the shop and do all of the millwork, assemblies and organizations and just making runs to the bank for deposits! 🤞🙏
Great spot for winter free throws
11/13/23. As always Spencer, your clean cut appearance & well spoken presentation is a joy to watch. Super overhead lighting, like Hollywood studio (?), contributes to our visual appreciation of your work flow design & efficiency throughput. Oh...where was your Router station?...ahh, just remembered...it's in yur SawStop! Great looking shop & soon it will be 'over-the-moon'🤣💪😊
3:37 That Laguna will not go to waste. You will figure out what machine creates your biggest dust problem and you will make that Laguna a dedicated solution to that problem. Money well spent. 👍👍
14:30 You have made tremendous progress so far. Especially considering your extremely busy schedule. Give yourself a good pat on the back for making the time to make this work for you. Like you have said, you can tweak it later on if you need to. 👏👏
Congrats on the shop.
Not an urgent concern right now but before you introduce a lot of weight to the cat walk section of the mezzanine, I would want to see how those 2X4 support brackets are connected to the wall behind the sheathing and the floor joist. Might want to beef things up with additional framing members and maybe gusset the brackets as well. That structure was not designed with a lot of weight in mind. Good money to remove a few sheets, take some photos and run them by an engineer. Reminds me of some tragic deck failures I have seen. Be safe. Stay safe.
The weight would all be anchored to the wall with lags into the framing I wouldn't actually have any weight on the actual cat walk. You are correct, its not built to handle much weight.
Congratulations on your new shop Spencer. It sure looks great and I'm sure you are excited to start using it.
Keep that small cyclone dust collector for exclusive use with your miter saw. I built a box behind my miter saw and put the 4" duct (1.5hp Grizzzly) in the center of the box. I think I got the idea from Mike Farrington
0:21 Absolutely Sweet at first glance, can't wait to see the rest of the video.
Wow, truly the start of an outstanding shop. Completely jealous. I hope you have as impressive security system going into the shop. You have a lot of money, time and love vested. Don’t risk it. You want to edit this video as it shows an address, again just trying to protect your pride and joy. Absolutely love your videos from a content and educational perspective. You are a perfectionist on both fronts.
Awesome shop, I wish you great success in the future, you are definitely a man who can pull it off!
I'm really happy for you, your shop is amazing. You deserve every inch of it. Awesome videos always.
12:38 Spencer, it's a lot of comments coming from me but I would like to share my ideas with my 35 years of experience in this field. Bora makes some nice material handling components that could make your shop life easier. The portamate and the adjustable rollers assembly come to mind.
Good camera and alarm system will be good idea I salute 🫡 you for working hard and smart 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍💪
It seems to be already installed. Look at when he is up on the mezzanine.
Spencer, install your dust collector out of the work area preferably outside of the building. Also buy an indoor air quality monitor. It will be a good healthy investment I believe.
That would create a negative pressure situation are require me to pull conditioned air out of the shop. I had initially considered putting the collector in the cold storage area but it wouldn't have worked for that reason.
There are energy recovery ventilation(ERV) systems avilable to integrate with dust extractor, have to consult a HVAC engineer. @@InsiderCarpentry r
This is so nice. Im so happy for you. Seeing this is very inspiring and i hope one day to have a shop like this 🛠
1:46 WOW. Looking great.
Well deserved Spencer! Your hard work and dedication to your craft is showing great dividends. Thumbs up from NC!
This is a dream shop for me, currently i have 10,000 sqft that that we lease in Chicago..My father opened up in 2000,we are called HomeThings and ive been here for 15+ yrs as his right hand man, how i wish we could have our own shop built similar to yours..maybe not so big but at least 10000 sqft..Maybe one day I will make it happen..
10:53 You are going to need a forklift and possibly a scissor lift. Both will make you very happy indeed. There is a contingent of your fan base that will crave more of the shop video content because of your capabilities to produce. Keep them coming.
Big smiles watching you grow your business Spencer! Even though at times I swear at you in jealousy. Need to think about shop security and how that links to the main house.
You’ve also got the opportunity to start thinking about bulk purchases to lower your costs since you have the space.
Did you happen to catch the security camera in the background when he was up on the mezzanine level? This guy is always thinking. He may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night. 😂😂
19:35 Can't wait to see the content on the Kapex. I was truly sad for your experience with this saw in your past. 🤞
I'm looking forward to see the progress in your new shop.
I have a 40x60 and I'm not happy with the layout. You have already given me some good ideas on a new layout.
When I did my move I went to my tile supplier and grabbed shipping crates they where throwing out and put casters on them. It worked great for piling things in for the move. Yes it is amazing how much stuff we collect!!
Thanks and keep up the great work!
What a great space to expand your business !!! The extra room and ability to add equipment will be incredibly helpful !!!!
Great Video a Dream workshop
Great job on the new shop. Please keep us updated. Thanks!
Noticed the Kapex right away lol
With the space you have I would definitely look into a Festool STM1800 for moving materials around your shop. I unload from my truck run plywood through my table saw, reload to the STM roll over to my truck and go. Saves big time on the back.
Congratulations on the new shop build out! Looks efficient! Like the basketball net - but I doubt you are giving up golf! The only thing I might have considered is allowing enough space to park your van right in the shop so you can keep the door closed while you load and unload.
Have you seen him putt?
No, I have not seen him putt! I will say however that Spencer is an olympic champion with a mitre saw and Festool sander! If miter sawing were a sport he would be on TSN @@Ibanezed210
I defintely considered that but the can actually requires a ton of depth to pull in so I opted to keep the machines further back and sacrifice the ability to pull vehicles in. I can still pull the van into the cold storage if I need to keep it out of the weather or load inside...it's just not as close or in the heated area.
ALWAYS vertical storage for sheet goods (aside from full bunks of course). Don't want to be dragging sheets across each other and risk a wood chip being caught between.
No shop envy here! Nope! None. Zip. Zilch. Nadda. 🤷♂️
Gratz Spencer!
There was a time where I had my shop laid out perfectly in my head. The perfect work flow blah blah blah. But like you I found out even the best plan prior to actually setting it up is almost always doomed to fail. There is always something you forget or just didn’t think about that shonuff made an appearance once you put your preverbal feet in concrete. In short I’ve learned to be flexible and allow for tweaking, small/large adjustments etc or I would suffer the consequences and have to do it over again. Flexible overhead power drops that can swing or turn. Same with the dust collection. Modular. Modular. Just like your work van.
Anyway, I’m done preaching to the choir 😂 You got this and if you haven’t nailed it down by now I can’t think of anyone who is as determined as you are to improve on any workflow.
Bravo! 👍
20:22 Okay I finally finished watching the video and I have to say that it is one of your best. And you have had some truly great videos. Your abilities and your dedication will only further your your future endeavors. OK, now I will re-watch the video with none of my delays. Continued success! 👍👍
Love it this will be a great space as your business and your channel keep growing
I have the same Oneida dust collector in my shop. Awesome for chips and shavings but the wide belt sander clogs the filters fast. They told me to make sure and have a straight section of pipe at least 5' going into the cyclone. Haven't redone that yet but you might run into the same problem. Cheers from Montana
Interesting, I specifically asked them about that and they said I only needed a foot of straight pipe and they actually designed the rise with 90 themselves.
Congrats on the new shop. Very impressive and exciting😊
Congratulations on your success and sharing your experience with the rest of us. The shop looks awesome
I did the same thing with those Bora Lumber brackets in my shop. In my opinion 2 brackets is just not enough to support wood so it doesn't warp. Something I wasn't even thinking about when I did it was not only does give you length for long boards but you have multiple lengths on the same level.
Shop looks awesome! Glad to see things are expanding for you. Look forward to see how the shop changes over time
Cheers to you Spencer!! From a second generation WW2 Italian furniture maker
I love the new space.
Use the loft for wood storage. When I find good deals on wood I buy it and find projects for it.
Good idea!
Really excited to see how you end up solving the boom arm problem-I'm in a similar boat.
Awesome, informative vid as usual, thanks for your channel. That sheet cart is awesome, great idea going vertical. Mine is horizontal and takes up so much space. Do you have a build vid or plans you could direct me to? Also that Oneida 5hp is awesome, have the same one. A silencer on the filter is a super nice upgrade FWIW.
Sorry, no plan available on the material storage, but i think it was pretty easy to design.
Great video always so well thought out. I'm sure you already thought this but maybe a service lift to move items up and down more conveniently. Best of luck Spencer.
That mezzanine looks like a perfect place for a recreational bowling alley.
The mezzanine is where I would store all the extra junk and Christmas tree from my house haha
I think you and finish carpentry tv started off the same a few years ago, as far as videos go, you have kept it real and kept building a real business, the other guy, not so much.
Couldn't agree more. It has taken the other guy awhile to drink the green kool-aid. And he is better for it. 😁
Richard has done better with growth on RUclips though because he speaks to a larger audience. I tend to talk to fellow professionals and thus don't get the reach that I would if I spoke more to the DIYer. At the end of the day for me I'm a carpentry business not a RUclips business.
Nice shop😊
I have a similar set up in my workshop for the sheet materials.
Best thing I've found is flat bench storage. Slide them out of the van onto an infeed table then onto your storage area.
Then when you are working you can slide them onto the infeed table and straight into the table saw.
Might need to move your table saw but it really saves alot of lifting and lugging.
Place looks great man
Wow, from a small space to gigantic space. A dream every carpentry would love to have. You have an amazing knack for organizing things with the mindset something will come along to suggest you could have done it differently. Amazing in every respect and I hope it helps expand your business but allow you continue to connect with your followers. You spent a lot of time showing us around and I appreciate that as it gave me some tips for my garage, although 1/100th of your shop. :)
Congratulations on getting your shop off to a great start! This video was very timely; I just broke ground on a 50x50 shop and I've been wearing myself out trying to figure out the layout of my equipment. I saw many things in your video that gave me great ideas for my shop.
So many smiles in this video. I smiled with you every time. Thank you for sharing.
You’re a blessed guy Spencer and was that your oldest son? If so he has grown no one is taking his lunch money! I work in a small shop and it was like yours attached to my Custom built home , where it was just me! I acclimated my expensive customers cabinet ply in a designated room in my house ! Had almost 2500 sq ft so when my kids came to visit no big deal!
Then my parents moved in and the fun was over! Every single room gone! To include my wood room!
Now I am looking for a partner & a shop!
Yep, That's him. Growing like a weed!
Wow, man I don't often get envious but that is an absolute dream shop, it's enormous! Congratulations buddy, that's quite a find right there!
That mezanine would be for extra woodworking items like lathe cnc maybe maybe a finish room that you can vent outside
Spencer, I love your new shop, and your videos in general. The mezzanine would be perfect for a massive model train layout!!
Looks like a sharp set up. I'd love that much space for our shop. Takes time to have it evolve so everything is placed in just the right spot.
Seems to me like the mezzanine would work for storing lumber but only if you had a fork lift. For instance say a pallet of plywood comes in it could be stored up there out of the way or if you suddenly find a great buy on some other lumber you may need down the road.
That's a good thought!
I’m guessing the rim joist on the cantilever is about a 2X10. So let’s call the mezzanine 2X10 @ 16” OC. This would be reasonable for the span. Let’s store 2 pallets of 3/4” sheet ply up there. About 80 sheets. Same weight as a full sized SUV. So, I would eat lunch in the shop and relocate the coffee maker next to the cold storage wall. The electrician who gave the shop up - had different uses for the space so it might be a good idea to consult with your architect or PE friends before you park a 2004 Chevy Tahoe up there. Not to be too disagreeable or sarcastic but live loads are what they are. Again, safety is always important. In the trades everyone takes risks. We just need to know when we need the parachute and when we might not.
@@henrypeisch5289 Agree
What a wonderful shop. Goes to prove good people get what they deserve.
Great shop. Pity l live in Netherlands, would have loved to help you as electrician and some other stuff.
Keep up the good work and show us your skills.
Shop is awesome! May I suggest instead of a 9’ wide door between the shop and cold storage area, put a 10’ wide door. A 9’ door with the trim yields less than 6” on each side with 8’ wide stacks of plywood and line of sight from the forklift seat can be tricky. An extra 6” on each side is worth the money.
My only comment, having moved entire households multiple times, two of which were downsizing is: put things in some order right away!!!
Your hand tools just “tossed” in the storage room now means you have to sort through them again!! Sorting them by size or purpose quickly, then doing a final sort will actually be easier.
Good luck!!
Any economical dust collection ideas for a small garage shop that doesn't cost thousands? Talking like a two or three tool system. Table saw, miter saw, sander/router. Love your channel. Invaluable crown help. Consistency of cut! Haha
Mezzanine paint booth... With addition of freight elevator.
And the hoop? Didn't take you for a Hoosiers fan.
A simple 220 volt single stage machine should definitely fit your requirements. Lots of them out there. Just do some research and design a system that works for you. It can be cheap. It all depends on how much you need for the work that you do. Good luck. The difference between 110 and 220 is worth the price of admission.
Well I know I’m envious! Nice job on shop build out, only thing I can think of is the overhead door between bays. It should be 10’ wide and a roll up / canister door so horizontal tracks are not in the way. Been following for some time now and if memory serves me right in one of your vids you mentioned that a miter saw station in the shop was more or less a waist of space,, glad you are adding one. To me it’s a key feature for any shop and the zero clearance saw 👍 look forward to seeing the rest of it
Great space.
Two thumbs up 👍👍, and I'm real glad to see your goals coming true for you. You work hard and you deserve it. And, my sincere thanks to you for all of the woodworking tips you've shared with me over the years.
Congratulations!!
Looks like a great space to work in!
That is an amazing work shop. Congrats
Heated slab is the only way, have put them in my last two shops as well as the dust collection.
Enjoy your new shop 👍🇨🇦
Congratulations on ALL your success. This is excellent! Looking forward to videos from the new shop.
