I recently moved back to GA after being out of state and I’m setting my shop back up again. I already made the decision to organize and set up my shop more efficiently, so seeing this video has inspired some ideas.
Thanks for sharing this Walter. Very inspirational, I am on the verge of making these moves myself from my garage in Norway. Love your humble but professional style🎉
It is really good to hear how excited you are about the fulfilment of your passion. It is also nice to hear you say how grateful you are for it. Working in a cinderblock shop an hour southish of you, I know what you mean about the heat. I love my fans! Really appreciate how willing you are to share your experience and work.
I'll suggest some kind of tool car that you can roll around to where you are working. It could be a mechanics tool chest, it could be an Adam Savage tool cart, it could be a small industrial service cart, whatever you would need for the kind of tools you need to move around. You don't want it to be real heavy or you will resist moving it around. Being able to move it to where you are working is very helpful. Even just putting it in a central location midway between your different workstations is helpful. I noticed in some of the video that you had tools on a wall. A lot of people do this, I do this, but I have to walk farther to get them. If you want your tools on a wall then build a wall midway between your various work stations and put the tools there.
Walter, an excellent workshop, congratulations! I understand your heat issue, since I happen to be in SE TX - my forge season starts in a month or so. ;-) Another thing: I have a covered porch attached to the shop - a real savior in my case: most of dusty work goes to outside. Thank you for showing your space!
If you run a simple water hose and sprinkler up on the roof of a metal shop you can lower the temp by about 20 degrees. Unless you are on a well water is cheap.
If you have a good amount of trees on your property, perhaps go the woodstove route for the winter. I would love and update of your thoughts on the Vevor 2x72/82" grinder. Thank you for the informative videos!
I set up the forge and anvil ONE time in my wood shop. There is and was a ton of kindling in between the floor boards, was still uncomfortable even with having thrown down sheets of plywood. One day!
From blacksmith to CNC and grind operator. Volume is where the cash flow is. Shame… I loved watching your Japanese work the most, but you have to make a living

Thanks for sharing.
Don't forget the impact of good lighting - area and direct - on your attitude to your work.

Enjoyed the shop tour. Thanks Walter
I wish I had a two car garage to make knives in. Fantastic video though. I really enjoyed this one.

Having a bunch of dust and grime outside is not great either.
thank you sir.

Love that anvil. Hard to find these days.
Terrific shop by the way.
Great shop Walter! I’ve been working out of a shed for four years and I would love a big space like yours
Great video
Thank you for sharing your expertise
Thanks again
I heard you say at least 3 times how thankful or grateful you were. It's nice to hear

Nice digs!

How many square meters are the new man-cave?
