Just about everyone wants to eventually have a dream workshop like yours for any craft projects/business. And the upside is your neighbour proximity-so you can make noise earlier and later???. The attic storage is amazing!!! You’re a hard worker and living in New Foundland like New Zealand it’s very similar looking and being an island, shipping and the pricing is a killer. The stones in the dig (beautiful big fireplace). As an ex-carpenter, stylish and very well built. Wish I had one. Thanks for the journey.- Grant.
That is the perfect size but if you could, you probably wish it was bigger. I remember building my first shed when I moved, I build my second shed and made it bigger.That was 26 years ago. Today I wish it was bigger. That is the size garage I wish I had but I should have built it years ago. Nice job!
I used to work out of a two car garage. It was a huge step up from working on a gravel driveway. Bought a new house with a 2 car detached garage and then added another 2 car space behind it with a loft on top. So now it's 24x48, same square footage as your 32x36. Having insulation and heat was a game-changer for me to be able to get things done over the winter. Good lighting is another. When you were building your welding cart and assembling your tube bender I was nodding right along with you when you were talking about being very mindful about how you use your space. Having twice as much room as before it's easy to think you have room for a lot of stuff. It's very nice but there's no excess space to waste. You have to be selective about what you need, and creative about how to place things so you don't limit the usefulness of the shop. Love the content here and the main channel. Watching you the last few years has been great motivation for me as well as learning to do metal shaping and repairs that seemed out of reach before with limited tools. Keep the tips coming! They're always good.
Hi Tony. Neat video! Love shop builds and you are certainly right saying it's not an inexpensive undertaking. I think everyone, myself included, dreams of having 3000 square feet of shop space but your build is more practical and you have enough room for everything you need. I can't even get a car into my garage so I do my work in the driveway. I grew up doing repairs in the street, on a busy street so the driveway is an improvement. I would say that you have come a long way from the original building! Thanks for the video!
That was interesting, seeing the stages of construction of how your garage was built. We've done similar builds at our place here in Queensland Australia. We do a lot ourselves, but big jobs like concrete slabs we have to get done by contractors like you did.
Fitzee, this second channel is really neat! I do like the metal working, welding, and grinding,but I am always curious as to what's it like in your neighborhood. You are like a guide going on your journeys ,hunting for ol iron, swap eats, and the 4x4trips, beautiful. Thanks😅
That was very cool to watch your shop come together in pictures, my shop is 50’wide x 30’ deep with 16’ ceilings it’s metal sided metal roof 2 roll up doors ( 1 14’x14’ and the other is 7’x8’ it’s taking a while to get it insulated and plywood on the walls and ceiling and the electrical done but my kids and I love it we’ve got a hoist , compressor, mig welder, and now I’m finishing the wood shop side and loft And get my radiant heat installed this year in my spare time and as money is available. I watched the shop go up and the concrete go in from pictures my wife would send while I was on the road trucking
Nice that you have the photo record of what you’ve built. Built mine and a old computer ate all my pictures so it’s just what I remember now 😢. There also would be things I’d do differently, first one is the learning curve 😂
Tony I have a disassembled shop on a trailer right now that is 28x30 that I am trying to get time to put up and also adding 10 ft to make it 40 x30. No time or money to do it right now. Need to finish a house I am doing a major reno to that I am flipping. Dying to have a shop!
Hi Fitzee, here in the UK where space is at a premium your workshop has a larger footprint than an average 3 bedroom new build house. Loving the two channels, both entertaining and informative 👍
Lop one bay off your shop and it would be identical to th garage i built 30 years ago. Same deal - I did all but the concrete and roof shingles. I cursed myself while sheathing the 10/12 pitch roof.
And yet MORE inspiration. Does the building have deep footings (for below the frostline) or does the whole thing "float" on gravel somehow? Here in New England, we have to go down at least 4' in order to get below frostline for the outer perimeter. The size is deceiving. It looks smaller than it is. A friend of mine up in Tewksbury, Massachusetts has a 28 x 36 garage with a really nice car lift (talking a pro-grade unit, not one of those Made-in-China knockoffs). When he built the garage, he had them excavate down 4 feet where the lift was going to be placed and secured 1" threaded rod laced into the re-bar. I had the pleasure of working on may Dad's Grand Marquis up there and there is nothing like having a lift! Great video (as always)! Carry on.
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp Sorta figured it was something like that. They don't call Newfoundland "The Rock" for nuthin'! Good day to you sir. Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the video, Fitzee. What an improvement over what you started with. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to paint the OSB inside white. It would likely double the amount of light.
No I did not. I find key to a warm floor is to maintain a consistent temperature in the shop. You let it get cold the floor will be cold. Regardless of what is under it.
Hey Fitzee, greetings from the UK. Nice job! What do you do with the attic space? Storage for car parts? I guess you can't get too-big stuff up there because of the size of the hatch?
Don't likemy compressor location. Other then that I'm happy with it. I want to build a room on the back to put the compressor and be nice to have a sheetmetal work room where I can set up what equipment I have and get it off the floor.
I built a 2 car garage about 20 years ago here... and I've been kicking myself for 2 decades now not to have made it taller with at least one bay big enough for those bigger vehicles... Need room enough for a lift, you know?
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp - You know... I DID think about this when I built the thing, and it seems to me that I made it so I could detach the whole roof (I lag bolded the double top plates together so I could separate them and lift the entire roof with one of those big cranes... but I can't get a big crane down this alley way... just too many low hanging wires. So, yeah, I'm kicking myself for not planning a bit more height to begin with.
Hey Fitzee... I must be blind. This is the first time I noticed the chopped and dropped coupe sitting up on those steel shelves in the corner of your shop. What can you tell us about that? Mixed feelings, as it reminds me of the stuff Brent does over at Halfass Kustoms... but it sure looks like a cool project for some time in the future.

Nice job!
Having a nice place to work increases productivity more than almost anything else. You don’t feel Discouraged going out there if it is we’ll set up

Place looks great, I have a similar hope that some day I'll build one also. The years are ticking by though.

Thanks for sharing, after my move last June, i' m starting over with a barn I'm converting to a shop, in stages, 20x20.
Nice that you have the photo record of what you’ve built.
Built mine and a old computer ate all my pictures so it’s just what I remember now 😢. There also would be things I’d do differently, first one is the learning curve 😂
Nothing worthwhile comes easy. Thanks for sharing. All the best to You and Yours going forward👍
Nice Video. Nice to see the build of the Garage.

Hi Fitzee,

Loving the two channels, both entertaining and informative 👍
Always ment to ask how big the garage/shop was because I've been checking with townships outside of town to see what is the max I could go. Good job
Good job Fitzee, nice shop.
Great project that was i got a big garage tony. And it seems i still need more room. Lol
this garage build sure was the best decision ever, and not forgetting a great investment that keeps on paying ...
Very Nice Job Tony I like the concrete floor I’ll think it is
This is incredible, brother. Ty for sharing this moment. This is a dream for most of us little car nuts, lol.
Its a fine spot, big and comfortable enough to work on one rig at a time and that's all that matters.
Lop one bay off your shop and it would be identical to th garage i built 30 years ago. Same deal - I did all but the concrete and roof shingles. I cursed myself while sheathing the 10/12 pitch roof.
Thank you for sharing great little video well done sir Tony
I'm still in the saving part, just renting a shop for now lol!! That is a very nice shop you have, great pictures of the build!
Looks like you nailed it for the size,my garage is 32 x 24 ,that 2 feet more makes a more workable area.
Great project nice workshop thanks for sharing
That was a great build, now if you only had one more,, lol

It's what we call a slab. It's 18 inches on the outer edge. What the slab sits on is 4 feet of rock. That takes me to the frost line
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp Sorta figured it was something like that. They don't call Newfoundland "The Rock" for nuthin'! Good day to you sir. Thanks for the reply.
Sweet shop!
Doesn’t matter whether out here in California, or Nova Scotia. The building is the same. Nice
Thanks for the video, Fitzee. What an improvement over what you started with. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to paint the OSB inside white. It would likely double the amount of light.
I did it this way for a reason. a shop in none painted osb always looks clean. if you paint it all the dirt and dust shows up on the walls.
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp Yep.. did mine same as yours.
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp That’s a valid reason, and probably why my white shop walls aren’t as clean as they once were. Haha
That is one thick floor! Very nice! Did you insulate under the pad....wasn't sure I could see in the pic with the ground vapour barrier.
No I did not. I find key to a warm floor is to maintain a consistent temperature in the shop. You let it get cold the floor will be cold. Regardless of what is under it.
A Fitzee extra awesome!👍
I wish I had some friends to help me out or family
Hey Fitzee, greetings from the UK. Nice job! What do you do with the attic space? Storage for car parts? I guess you can't get too-big stuff up there because of the size of the hatch?
Yes but it over 4 feet so sheeting and hoods can fit up there.
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp That's great!!! You obviously thought about it first!!
You must of sat down in the middle of the floor with a cup of Joe and just smiled
Many times. Here this morning sat in garage door taking in the morning.
I'm curious what he'd do differently if he did it again.
Looks like it turned out great and has that extra space i wish i had.
Don't likemy compressor location. Other then that I'm happy with it. I want to build a room on the back to put the compressor and be nice to have a sheetmetal work room where I can set up what equipment I have and get it off the floor.
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp thanks for the reply.
Have a good day.
💯
That’s awesome also my dream!
I built a 2 car garage about 20 years ago here... and I've been kicking myself for 2 decades now not to have made it taller with at least one bay big enough for those bigger vehicles... Need room enough for a lift, you know?
Lifts are great but you kill two bays. I'm looking into one of those portable lifts.
@@fitzeesfabrication.thefl-nf7hp - You know... I DID think about this when I built the thing, and it seems to me that I made it so I could detach the whole roof (I lag bolded the double top plates together so I could separate them and lift the entire roof with one of those big cranes... but I can't get a big crane down this alley way... just too many low hanging wires.

Over on the other channel there're few videos on that car and the rack it is mounted on
Ive heard a lot of times ,you need ti build bigger than you think you need. If you were doing it again would you build same size or bigger?👍🇨🇦
happy with the size. I reached a point in my life that the more room you have the more junk you have around. this size keeps me in check.
I'm sure you've mentioned it before, but how do you heat it?
Two electric industrial heaters.
When are you adding on to it?
hahaha
68 Camaro?
blue one is a 69 z28.
💯🙂👍🙏
