My dad didn’t let us kids in the shop with him. He’d say weren’t old enough. We never got to find out how old we needed to be. He died when we were 9 & 12. Both of us ended up with woodworking as a hobby, self taught, of course. So, you let those kids in the shop all you want and as long as they want to continue going out there. You’re making more than projects, you’re making memories.
I really like this guy's enthusiasm and video host mannerism. Not too much, not too little. A+
Paul, that’s really nice of you. I really do appreciate that
I grew up in a sign shop. I was exposed to being a maker from a very young age, and it has served me well in my elder years. If you have the skills, there are people who need you.
My Granddaughter started in my shop at 3 or 4, started with a little brush and dustpan cleaning off the table tops of all my tools then graduated to Home Depot kids projects. Later she started using the lathe and router tables. Some of the very best memories we had.
Great idea regardless of whose it is. My friend you know how I feel about our children in the shop. It doesn't get any better than making memories with our children. When you think about how much time we spend in the shop we would miss a great deal of time with them if we didn't include them in our world. I can tell you for sure, when you get older you will be glad you did. I smile many times a day because I kept her in my world no matter where it was, but especially the shop. Thank you my friend for sharing your world with me.
I always appreciate hearing from you! Absolutely I agree. I will be glad I have these memories and more importantly I think they will be glad as well. Of course I know how you feel about it. Always a good time with the little pitter patter around
I’m not the maker in my family, but I love watching makers and watching my husband make stuff. My son is now 4 and he’s been joining my husband in the shop for a long while. My dogs even love going out there with him!
Much respect to you Kim. That’s awesome
Both my son and my daughter helped me in the shop and other places. When I started my business my son at 11 worked with me on jobs on weekends or holidays. He became a great, very knowledgeable technician highly in demand by our customers. It's sad that today too few children have the opportunity my son and I had. My daughter decided it really wasn't for her so we went and raced microds and micros sprints for many years.
A great video as usual. One thing with the two magnets sticking together though, before mounting them stick them together and mark the faces that mate together so you know which way round they should go. It would be more than a bit annoying to find that, instead of clicking together nicely, they repel each other.
As for Kids in the shop? Mine (2 boys one girl) are now all grown but when they were smaller I encouraged them to make things with hand tools and as they got older introduced them to power tools. Two years ago (almost to the day) they helped me build my workshop at the end of my garden. All Wood construction and it took about a week to complete, that was a really great feeling. Teach them to respect the tools (and the damage they can do to themselves if they make a mistake) and they will hopefully grow to make and repair things instead of making do with shop bought items & throwing everything away as soon as it doesn't work quite right.
I love your idea and very functional. I don’t have the entry door that I wish I had opted for in the beginning. I did the reflectix bubble insulation on my roller door. I put it on with spray adhesive and double sided tape. I can roll up door with no issues.
Yep, I have 4 & 7 year old girls and they’ve joined me in my shop for years. Basically as soon as they were old enough to keep shoes, eye protection, and earmuffs on reliably, they’ve hung with me. It’s awesome.
That truly is awesome. Thanks for sharing brother
My son 29 joins me in joint projects and has his own as do I. Both reasonably new to woodworking. Great father son time
That was a great solution to a real problem on that door. Another question I have is: are (did) you install any ceiling fans to circulate the air? Not talking air filtration, just moving the air inside. FYI, This video reminds me about the time, when I was about your age, I built a large building (60'x100') for my shop. It was auto repair not woodworking back then. cant wait to see your next improvement. I may not always comment, but I do always watch. Keep it up.
That is a huge shop Russ. That is awesome. I appreciate the kind words and I don’t have a ceiling fan but I do have two fans that circulate air throughout the shop as well that are on the ground
This video is right on time! Have a couple of roll up doors, and looking for ideas to insulate them, so I thought, I'd better hit yt and see what the makers are doing. Beautiful idea for doors that will be used infrequently. Thank you!
I liked your pitch for HD sponsor ship using Lowe’s tape 🤣🤣🤣 great video keep up the great content
I was wondering if somebody was going to mention that. Good Eye brother. Too funny
I'm glad someone is actually talking about it I spray foamed my music studio I built as an addition onto the side of our house I live in ABQ new Mexico and it hits 120 degrees here in the summer, I have a lot of acustic guitars and a few basses along with all my gear, I have an AC unit in there but with the insolation not only does it keep the room pretty cool in the summer but it's also a great sound dampener I have my drums and you can even hear them from the outside if you're more that 5 feet away definitely worth the cost my room is about half the side of your garage and the foam ran me 2300 totally worth it for me especially in this heat
This is actually a pretty great point about the versatility of the spray foam can do. Never thought about putting it in the music room. I’ve been playing drums and guitar for over 20 years myself and that would be a great idea for a studio space. Thank you so much
@@AGlimpseInside works like a charm man especially if you have annoying neighbors that complain about sound
Shop is looking Great Bro. Insulating that door will be a huge difference ....Hope all is well Bro.👍👍
Thank you Mike all is going well. I hope you guys are doing good as well
I have thought about this subject many times. That's a great idea and works perfect .
Yeah now is the time bro summer is coming. Unless you live in the southern hemisphere
Sorry Chris, may have missed it... The few times you do open the door you simply remove the insulation first? My idea on what to do with the look is to tape builders paper (the stuff we all use to cover our work bench when we spray paint) on it and let your kids go to town on it with their drawings.
Correct I remove the insulation and quite possibly put it on the pullout shelf underneath my lumber rack. I wish I could put that in the video but for some reason I didn’t
I love how you mixed the Home Depot house wrap and the Lowe's tape! LOL!!! Equal treatment!
Make em fight over me😂😂😂😂
It's awesome they are out there, it is said When kids play it is the serious time of their lives and I truly believe that is when they learn the most
Yes my girls join me in the shop all the time. My oldest likes to make stuff out of wood scraps or what ever. They started to join when they started to walk.
That’s great to know they started that young. Mine did too. I hope all is well with you brother
Making great memories with your children, they do last a lifetime. Keep it up, great father.
Chris,
That's a creative and cost effective fix for insulating the roll up door. Really liking the new shop space.
Stay safe my friend.
Thank you Frank I really appreciate that. I hope you’re doing well my friend as always you rock
Ever seen a guy overly excited about insulation? Yeah me too! hahaha - great idea brother! Love the kids in the shop, teach them young to respect your tools and put things back in their proper place when finished using them. As always, great content and great video! Keep it up.
Great idea. I am looking to do the same on our roll up door, but I am going to try out double reflective Insulation on a roll on our roll up door. Also just adding a drum fan will cut your temps down 10 degrees. We use them in our warehouse and it's keeps things cooled off very well.
Hey bud, Did you ever insulate your roll up door? My shop is smoking hot right now. I have to do something.....
THANK YOU a thousand times over, I am building a 30 X 40 shop and I live in southern NM, and just the idea of building a shop has caused me to invest in EXCERDIN company, our climate is dry and we can use swamp cooling but was totally confused about the door insulation thanks
Great fun with the workshop Cornish Pixies. Loved the insulation ideas, wish I had some but the long haired colonel said I can wear a fleece. LOL!
Excellent, as always and yes all of my kids spent time projecting with me in the shop/garage. Great, Great memories.
Very good presentation ,I'm building a metal shop 24x25 x12 high in Georgia hot summers. Your knowledge is very valuable. Thanks
Both my kids join me in the shop, only not when I'm welding. Daughters favorite tool is the leaf blower. Sons favorite...a hammer.
Awesome. Thank you so much. I really do appreciate that feedback it’s nice to know other makers bring their little ones with them
thank you for showing this. i normally just tape the pink foam to my garage door, but now i am moving my shop in there and will need to remove it way more frequently. so this idea is the bomb!
Awesome idea, might have to use it myself here in California. Summer/Fall is brutal >100F constantly!
Oh, and your use of magnets seems genius to me. Thank you.
Both of my kids (F8, M5) join me in my shop. I bought a cheap rolling toolbox off Craigslist for them to store all their tools in too. They really like to play with my scrap wood. They are not fond of the table saw (too loud), but they like everything else.
Golden opportunity to learn about ear protection!
How did you seal off the gap between your roll up door and the header?
Good job Chris. That's a GREAT solution for that door. As for the hindsite being 2020, one could always put some PVC pipes along the walls for any future wire pulls etc. prior to spraying. The spray foam is the way to go ESPECIALLY when you get a $1K savings. Look at all the tools you can buy for a grand. Thanks for the video! !! !!!
Thank you so much that’s a great way of putting it. Essentially I could get spray foam insulation and a free Domino!! You just give me a good idea LOL
Great idea. I will be trying this out on my garage door
Great information video. My girls are usually out there with me. Love it teaching them safety as well as hopefully when they get older they are interested in building things themselves instead of paying for it. Keep up the great work.
Thank you Justin. Most definitely one of the Most enjoyable part is when those kids join me. But you know the same feeling
it's funny how I came across this video while looking for brush seals for the top and sides of my roll up doors. My shop is 30 ft x 50 ft x 16 ft walls and is metal as yours (Butler). When it was built I had 3 inch insulation installed on walls and roof, and I also framed the walls and paneled them. I have 3 roll up doors and skylights. The doors are some what insulated but doesn't seem to do much. Living in the mountains in Northern California it gets upwards of 115 degrees during the summer and 20 degrees in the winter. The roll up doors are the big problem. I have a 10 x 12, 10 x 10, and 10 x 8 set of doors. It seems I have a very similar idea to what you did. The 10 wide by 12 high is a bit of a problem. I will be using this door a lot. So my idea is I am going to use 2 inch hard foam panels with aluminum on one side and as you did cut 3 pieces of equal width 5 ft. high and use bolt on magnets (Ace Hardware) to attach to the door at the lower portion of the door. These will stay on the door all the time. On the top I will build a 7 ft x 5 ft frame work to attach the top pieces (to seal the top of the door) in a 2 door hinged set up (5 ft wide each) so when I need to open the door all I do is swing the top 2 foam framed doors open on each side and roll up the door. This will allow me to roll the door up 7 ft. and not have to remove any panels. If I have to go higher I just remove the lower panels off the door. I hope this works LOL P. S. I too installed 2 two ton mini splits for heating and cooling in the shop. I wish I could figure out how to put curtains or shields on the skylights when it's direct sunlight, a lot of heat comes through these panels. Great job and it's great to get the kids involved in the shop activities. Have a great day.........
Oh neat, another Jacksonville neighbor! My metal garage is going up next month and I’m seriously considering spray foam insulation. The electrical part isn’t a big concern to me since my dad and I are going to do conduit. Love the build you got!
So happy for you man
Thank you buddy!!
When I build my shop ... one day. For sure will spray foam. My youngest daughter has been in the shop with me since she was 4, she's now 11. Not so much now that she's getting older. I taught her how to drive a nail, use a saw, use a drill. She even has her on welding hood(no I dont let her weld... yet) she goes out on her own and builds and paints STUFF. Lol. Thanks for sharing. Until next time *Chris*
Absolutely brother as always thanks for the support. Hope you’re doing well and I can’t wait for you to get your new shop whenever that day comes
Not sure if you are still using this set up on your door but a different way and you won't have to take down and put up. Buy a roll of bluetex insulation and glue it to the door it will roll up with the door so you never have to take it off
👍 That’s a great add on to the shop. I’m excited to see your other half in up coming videos. A family that builds together stays together.
I doubt she will be in the videos. She has almost 99% anonymity on this channel. She’s been in one video before but it is tough to find. Do you know which one? I’m curious
A Glimpse Inside hahaha I’m seriously going to give you a girl answer to that question. I actually do remember seeing her in one of your older videos. I can’t remember what one exactly. The reason I do remember seeing her is I have always wanted to know if your wife had all that beautiful red hair like your daughter has. She was only in it a few frames of the videos. 😊
A Glimpse Inside I found the video.👍
I do a majority of my work after my kids are in bed, but if during the day they like being out there. I'll typically invite them out when I'm doing assembly or glue ups or finish, something that's not cut-intensive. They loooove playing with the scraps and using the dust collector. I let em join in on cutting board finishing, too - they think it's finger painting ;) It's tough to teach them to not distract dad while making a cut, but they've gotten better at it, and I typically only do short, quick cuts with them there (5 and 3 yo right now).
That’s a good point by not being distracted. Also I like your idea of only bringing the kids in typically when finishing is happening or some light duty work. As always I hope you’re doing well my friend. Thank you for always being so supportive
Good job! I didn't remember that you were in Jacksonville. I live in east Tennessee next to the Great Smoky Mtn. National Park. Our neighbors spend the cooler months in Jacksonville and head to the Smokies to escape the heat of Florida. They just sent us a message that they are about to leave town, it must be getting hot down there!
Yes very much so it was in the 90s last week however it’s pretty mild right now but the heat is coming for sure. As always thanks David I appreciate the support brother
You should get them ear protection. I made my grandson wear it when he was in the shop. Your kids are the cutest things ever. Great video.
I have both of them some ear muffs. Do you know similar to the ones Drew Brees’ kid wore when he won the Super Bowl. However they have some sensory issues and don’t like them on their ears. I suppose they will just have to get used to them
Nice job, great idea by Zak.
That is a great idea. You know what would be super cool, if you had all 5 panels covered so they are all one color. Then, have your logo printed on over all 5. When you put it together like lego, boom! That would look amazing! Great video!
That’s a pretty darn good idea. Thank you so much may have to consider that one
@@AGlimpseInside Would be fun with the kids. I know I said lego but this would be more like a puzzle that you put together, click on the door and it's your logo!
I have a 40x50 shop with 2 14x14 doors - why did I do 2?!?!? One would have worked. But thank you for showing me how you did the door with the foam. I use the 2" when I need to break down plywood and had thought that they would be great, but keeping them up there what my question - magnets!!! Going to order some tonight. What do you do about the air gap at the top of the door, or is yours so small it does not matter? Keep up with the videos and have fun this children. They are cute. I am at the grandchild stage and have many memories of mine.
What a little angel. Love your kids
Those drawers on the back of your run out table. AWESOME!
My daughter is 5 and she occasionally joins me in the garage, but I wish I could get her to visit more. Of course, my garage is a complete disaster, so it's hard to blame her. Any thoughts on encouraging her? I try to avoid loud machines while she is there, and I try to give her as much independence and real stuff to work with as I can. I'm going to try to find a project that she wants to do, or get her to come up with one herself.
You know I don’t have a secret to get the kids in the shop with me. I do operate at about half speed when they’re in there. Take time and show them how to do stuff and also play with them quite a bit. I have a Bluetooth speaker I hook up to my phone and play some of their favorite music. That helps
@@AGlimpseInside - Heh, I already work at half speed so no big loss there. I could stand to be more playful. She has some things in mind that she's like to make and do, so I will try to encourage that. Also making some additional room would help. It's not a comfortable space. And good call on music. That's something we always do.
So I’m freezing I’m my shop now and have 2 10x10 roll up doors I didn’t see in the video but how do you stop air on the sides and channel
Ohhhh I like this guys thrifty thinking.. good work sir!
Chris, I'm just wondering, does spray foaming or drilling and screwing plywood to the metal studs void the manufacturer warranty? I ask because I'm gonna be building my 12x20x8 metal building shop/storage shed/man cave in a few months.
Cool idea for that role up door.
After looking at your door insulation, and looking over my same type doors, I decided the BEST way to go is similar to your idea EXCEPT to do it on the >> outside
Take the criticism with a grain of salt because I always enjoy your videos. Don't change anything. Did your wife decorate the panels (I couldn't find another video)? I am a fellow woodworker AND crafter, so I'm curious what she did with it! THANKS!
I'm told the OPEN cell spray insulation is most wanted & used on metal buildings because IF you get a leak it will just run through. Put some shoes on that little Princess feet, I'm sure you are going to have some stuff in there she doesn't need to step on ! Was you pleased with that company??? Do they work in North Central Florida also??
Good video man. Think I will do this. Curious why you didn't do the smaller section on the bottom so you didn't need the sticks?
I’m racking my brain trying to figure out what you mean by that. Sorry if it’s not clear to me
Lookin good man that's gonna work great! I was gonna offer to make some vinyl decals, and then I hear you got a cricut. I'm sure you already have something figured out, but let me know if you need any wide format vinyl/fabric/paper.
Hey thanks for the offer brother I appreciate that we’re still tossing around ideas so do me a favor if you don’t mind following me on Instagram and sent me a message that way we have a line of communication just in case
awesome idea! where did you get your rollup door?
Damn good job so far, like the door insulation !!😎😎😎
I made a small work bench for my 3 year old grandson, he has to share with his older sisters and they all love being in the garage with paw paw.
I really need to build one for my kids too. That’s an awesome idea
Great video. What did you do to seal up the gap at the top? Where the back of the roll up portion hits the wall. Or actually doesn't.
From time to time I’ll roll up a moving blankets back there but honestly I got nothing there now
@@AGlimpseInside ok Thanks!
Great video bud! Very thorough and entertaining. Also really appreciate the shout out! I will say your version is way better than mine with the duct tape 😂 off to buy some tyvek!
Who are you
Just kidding my man. Thanks for the inspiration. The housewrap works really well I would definitely give it a try bro
I live in Jacksonville as well, one thing I find annoying is how loud the rain is on my building. How does the spray in insulation do with muffling the sound of the rain?
Another Awesome Video Chris, Great Watch Buddy, Always Look Forwards To These. May The 4th Be With You My Friend.
Thank you Neil I appreciate that. I hope you weren’t forced to write this comment
@@AGlimpseInside Nice Come back stay safe buddy
Fore thought - what you think of BEFORE you do something. Hindsight is 20:20. Great video anyway. As for the door decorations...get your kids to do something for it ! They are great kids by the looks of it and I'm sure they would love to draw, paint etc. something for you.
This is a great idea might have to do this song. Yeah I know sometimes I say things before I realized I put them through the edit process. Oh well
That's amazing!! Great job!! Can you still open the door though? And how much is that 2 ton splitter on the wall? Thank you!
Oh yeah the five panels come off very easily and set aside and the unit was around $1500
I like this idea. I have a regular garage door I need to insulate.
It definitely works brother I would do it sooner than later with the summer months coming. I’m glad I did
Off season construction. That's good advice.
Very nice solution!!
Nice idea. my Dooors are (2) 8x8 so this is perfect.
Who was the company that did your spray foam? I’m in FL also. Thanks!
What kind of shop lights are you using and what brand of AC did you say you use?
I’ve got some 14,000 lm 3 x 2 LEDs there’s two of them. And the AC is a GREE unit 2. Ton
My grandparents always let us help them.
My kids were always learning with us. Some are in the trades, some are desk jockeys. Their choice.
If you spray it with paint, make sure it's intumescent paint. It will cost you about double what regular latex paint does. It will protect it from fire and sparks though. I learned the hard way that when adding latex paint to the foam and you take fire to it, it will go up in flames. I had to go back and respray everything. And believe me when you slop latex on the foam it will burn. I had a fire marshal show me. We cut out a 1' square and lit it on fire. It was a costly mistake for me in a 7,000 sq building.
You’re an inspiration for me to build my channel, Keep the video’s coming!
Awesome keep it up brother I appreciate the kind words
@@AGlimpseInside did you use closed or open cell foam on the building?
@@johns9779 closed for sure
Sprayed foam in a pole barn and insulated doors are great in northern latitudes too. Professionally applied, it stops air infiltration. With a slab-on-grade floor and the doors and windows kept closed, the shop stays cool until late July. Then, with screened windows open at the top of 12' walls at night, the warmest air rises to escape and cool air cascades into the work area so that typical shop temperatures at 7 AM are in the mid 70s, never more than the low 80s. With the windows kept closed throughout periods of 95 to 105 degree days, the inside temperature rises no more than to the mid 80s. At this location in Wyoming, nighttime temperatures in the summer typically fall into the 70s or even 60s. Work station fans keep the hottest periods comfortable. Keeping the doors closed and the windows screened keeps out the birds and neighborhood cats both of which had previously caused problems. During periods of wintertime temperatures averaging 10 degrees, it takes less than a cord of wood to keep a 1,800 square foot shop's temperatures from falling below the mid 40s.
Wow that’s a lot of information. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure that everything will be good to go with this spray phone as it sounds like yours is working very well
Hi Chris, another fun watch. Love seeing how your workshop has evolved. You mentioned your wife's artistic tendency with the cricut, does she have a RUclips channel of her own? My wife has just started using a cricut herself and would love a fun channel to follow and give her tips and ideas. Also, love your interactions with your children in the videos, very sweet.
good project and way to cover the door! But best is that you have your daughter involved, you are already creating memories in her brain that she won't forget. And yes it will help keep her from pregnancy in her teens because she knows her father cares and loves her. great job!
well done great idea keep safe greetings from wales
Great video Chris, but you do know that it does still get hot up here in the north?!?! We need to keep the cold in during the summers as well! :)
Hey Chris. Great video. Have you thought about how to insulate the door frame. I find a lot of cold comes in there. No solution so far seems to work very well. Thanks.
I never thought of that. Although it seems to be working fairly well. Although you never know how good something is working until you make minor improvements and then you realize well it just could’ve been that little bit better. Thanks for the insight
Well of course, I mean it's about family right! Congratulations my man on everything.
Do you plan to paint the panels on the door when you paint the whole room ?
Is it possible or even practical to paint the wall insulation to white instead of yellow?
I want to insulate my roll up door but have the insulation attached to the door so I don't have to deal with the extra step of putting it in place.
Within the next year I am going to remove the felt strips and adhere a layer of Reflectix double bubble insulation to the inside. Is there any reason you think that won't work? I was thinking the thickness of the double bubble is about the same as the felt so the diameter of the roll won't grow by too much when it is rolled up. Fingers crossed...
You can use the 12x12 inch foam squares that are used in studios for sound they work great and you can still roll the door up and down and they don't come off if you use spray heavy duty glue and if one does u just spray and put if back up and u don't have to take it on and off
Hey Chris. My question doesn’t pertain to this video, but more a starbond question. I haven’t used it before, but am considering after watching your videos and hearing you talk about it. Do you have a specific bundle that you typically purchase for the glue (thin, medium, thick or all) and the accelerator?
I recommend trying the medium/thick (green bottle) and some accelerator. To start.
Thank you! Will do. Keep up the great videos!!
very cool setup
Thanks produce/teach

With a roll up and down door. There is a gap at top when the door is down. What did you do about that? Thanks. Just got my building up and trying to make plans.
James Buchanan might not be the best option but I rolled up some harbor freight moving blankets and stuffed them down for now
I didn’t even know that gap existed until you did this comment. But Zack has a good idea there
@@zaxewoodworks6600 I actually purchased a roll of insulation that is covered in a plastic wrap. Cut a long piece and laid across the opening. Easy to remove and install quickly and dust can be knocked off and will not draw moisture. Thanks for the input.
This is good stuff and I can relate to the dilemma. I live in Southeast Louisiana, I don't have AC in my shop yet, and my shop door is a single-car width un-insulated metal door. I insulated it with a kit that includes pre cut insulation bats that fit in each panel. It made a huge difference but the bat's keep falling out. I could tape them in but I'm thinking of using foam board instead. The magnet trick might be the way to go.
Regarding the asthetic of the purple foam. That foam easily takes latex paint. Also, you could cover the inside face of each panel with 1/4" Luan plywood and leave it bare or paint it. Heck, if you did that, it would make one bodacious sticker wall!
Oh, one note for watchers... There are companies that sell insulated roll-up doors.
Do you know what the whole sticker wall thing is a great idea. Thanks bro
Hot in Jax? Good thing you don’t live in Tallahassee. Great idea using the magnets. I need to insulate my south facing garage door and that’s the ticket. I see bright light coming in the window behind you. Do you get much heat from that?
I do get a little bit of Heat coming from that window however It’s not too bad. You know Zack, the inspiration for this lives in Tallahassee as well

Are you able to keep the temps in the mid 70s with the door insulated and your mini split?
72° and the unit stays on not even 40% of the time

Chris, great job along with your shop assistant. I am glad to see how you make this a family affair, getting your artistic wife involved. Before you said anything about her putting her handy work in, I was thinking you could simply paint the panels a preferrable color. Perhaps semi-gloss or satin white, so it brightens the space for filming. Either way, you always make it fun, entertaining and you conduct yourself in a wholesome manner. That is always enjoyable to watch. Keep it up!
That’s a pretty good idea sir. And I appreciate the kindness. It does mean so much
FYI: Years ago my mom made some curtains for our home, they were made out of insulated material and it kept the cold out with those old SINGLE pane windows, that may be a option
