- This is an updated shop and toolbox tour now that I have been in the shop working for the past 5+ years. A few things have changed and a few pieces of equipment have been added.
Here is a link to the original shop and toolbox tour that I did back in early 2018 if interested.

Absolutely incredible setup, everything you could ever need and more. Loved seeing the tour of everything even if some of it was "vintage' lol Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment, even if I showed "vintage" tools. 😜

If I win the lottery my shop will look like this. Literal dream setup
Thank you, but no need to win the lottery, just a lifetime of hard work. It didn't happen overnight.
Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Mike
Awesome garage shop. Love all the tools and the capability. I recently built a 50x70 shop and am slowly outfitting it for the hobbyist I am.
Sounds like an awesome size build. Best of luck in the process and thank you for taking the time to watch.
Mike
@@zmotorsports62 I started following you on IG. I also have a 5th Gen Camaro and a JK Jeep Rubicon. Your Duramax oil cooler video helped me out on my 05 LLY to upgrade to the 17-19 L5P cooler.👍
Awesome. Thank you. Please be sure to check out some of my other videos pertaining to the Duramax platform as well as a few on our Fifth Gen Camaro and quite a few on our 2011 JKUR, especially the LS swap videos as you may find them interesting settings as to also have a JK.
I appreciate your comments.

Creatively organized and well thought out. I am a snap on fan too and red is my colour also.
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for commenting.
Mike
Very impressive set up from a knowledgeable mechanic tradesman. Great job explaining your tools and equipment!
Thank you. I appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to watch my shop tour.
Mike
Amazing absolutely amazing shop 2 hours of pure gold thanks for posting.
Thank you, I appreciate the comments and thanks for taking the time to watch.
Mike
I use the filing cabinet as a bolt and nut storage too! I use party cups to sort everything.
I also have a filing cabinet for Angle stay hardware storage! It's really really cheap but sturdy way to organize. I got one for free and one for $10.
Yeah, if I could pick up another one or two I'd do it just for storage.
Thanks for taking the time you watch
Mike
What a awesome shop. Hopefully one day we will get to see it in person. Hope you and the family are enjoying a wonderful Holiday season.
Thank you David. You and Kim are welcome any time.
Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas and wish you a Happy New Year.
Mike
Beautifully set up shop. I love the workbench toolbox idea. Thanks for the tour!
Thank you for taking the time to watch and I appreciate the kind words.
Mike
You are very welcome. Thank you for the time it took to make the video. Im hoping to have a shop at least half as comprehensive as yours soon! Incredible shop. I know it took a long time to accumulate that many tools and equipment and I can appreciate the commitment to cleanliness and organization.
Thank you and best of luck with your new shop. You're right that it takes many years to acquire but oh so worth it.
Great shop and tool update Mike! Very thorough, really enjoyed it. Thanks for taking the time to post this.
Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment. I appreciate it.
Mike
I applaud you!!!! Very nice setup. I have my own shop now, and I'm using your video as a guide as to what I'd like to incorporate into my shop.
Thank you for watching and for the kind words. It's been a lifelong journey for sure. Congratulations on acquiring your own shop and best of luck setting it up.
Mike
Super nice shop, and great tour. I love that you raised the pedestals on the grinder and drill press. I hate being hunched over with all the commercial height stuff! Thumbs up!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching and for the comments.
I too have found general shop tools being too low for anyone even close to 6', let alone over that.
Mike
I have the same snapon cart but it has a extra shelf. Always in use. I bought it used in 1987. Mine still in fantastic shape. Even the rubber liners on each shelf are like new. I can only dream of having that much garage space and being so organized. My main work area is only 9xx sq ft and so cramped with equipment taking most of space. Side garage is mostly storage and houses my 4 post lift but the Big N CrewCab on it for over a year now.
Yeah, I know what it's like to be cramped for space as my last shop was only 1100 sq/ft yet with pretty much all the same equipment that is in this shop. Had to go outside to change my mind. 🤣
We ran our speed shop and campaigned our little race operation out of that small shop for 25 years before moving to our forever home in late 2016 and building my dream shop in 2017.
There's no way I could go back to our old shop as it is so nice to have enough space to move around when working and have multiple things going on.
Love this tour! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you. I've enjoyed following your channel. I personally enjoy seeing the home based workshops in particular.
Next time you're near northern Utah you are welcome to stop by and check it out in person.
Mike
Your garage is alot of inspiration👊🏿👊🏿👊🏿
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. I sure love working in it, especially now that I have everything organized and in place for proficient work flow.
Thank you for taking the time to watch.
Mike
Beautiful space, I'm a sucker for organization and you sir hit the nail on the head!
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment.
Like you, I appreciate organization and simply cannot work in clutter or chaos so my motto is a clean shop is a happy shop.
Mike
@@zmotorsports62 my tool box and the space I work in has to be in order as well, can't stand when I'm hunting for something because It's buried in a pile of crap. I put everything away at the end of every day. Everything has a home and it makes cleaning up that much easier.
Agree 100%. I know where my tools are at in each drawer so I can walk right to them when needed. Sure cuts down on wasted time having everything in order.
Fantastic shop ☺️ and a mine of experience and knowledge ☺️
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the comments.
Mike
Wow awesome shop the heavy equipment dealership isn’t even close to being that organized thanks for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching and for the comments. Greatly appreciated.
Mike
OK CAPTAIN TOOLMAN!! Nice collection over the years I hope I can build something like this of my own merit one day but I do enjoy working around and with mechanically inclined people its epic.
Thank you. It's been a life long pursuit but a worthwhile endeavor.
Thank you for taking the time you watch and I appreciate the comments.
Mike
Incredibly nice shop! Thanks for the video.
Thank you and thanks for taking the time you watch.
Mike
You have pro tools not available in all garages,I love it.
Thank you for the comments and thanks for watching. It's definitely a labor of love and a lifetime of acquiring told and equipment.
Mike
Awesome video, I dream of owning a workshop like this one day
Thank you. It's been my dream as well. Dreams do come true.
Thank you for taking the time you watch.
Mike
I watched your lathe video before I got my own Keep up the good work
Thank you.
I appreciate you following along.
Mike
This is what you call the hot setup
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time you watch and comment.
Mike
Awesome shop great video I like how in depth you went on the video👍
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and for the comments.
Mike
Great tour!
Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to watch.
Mike
Excellent Video. Based on the amount of and variety of projects you do I am actually surprised you don't have a tire mount/dismount machine and balancer.
Thank you. Actually those are two pieces of equipment that I've contemplated for a few years. However I'm not willing to give up the floor space and I don't do that many tires actually.
Thanks for taking the time you watch and I appreciate the comments.
Mike
Dream shop!
Thank you. Yes it is.
Thanks for taking the time to watch..
Mike
Хороший shop, мне понравился, успехов тебе.
Great tour Mike. The effort and professionalism in your shop is so apparent. Good to see the new tools and layout has worked so well for you. Loved the tease of the Camaro without showing it. 👍🏻
Curious what tap and dies you like or recommend. I have some cheap ones but looking to upgrade.
I’ve been looking at welders also. Curious what you think of the 211. I’m looking at the Miller 220 because I’m looking for the Mig/Tig combo. But that 211 I’ve heard several people recommend it, but would you take it as your only machine?
I’ll need to wait until we have a bigger space before I could justify the floor space to multiple machines.
Thank you very much for continuing to follow along Paul. I appreciate you watching and for the comments. Stay tuned for some Camaro vids in the near future as I commence work to zero it out and make it or own.
When it comes to taps and dies I prefer good quality HSS sets for stability and longevity over standard carbon sets. Also the good quality HSS are actually made for thread cutting whereas most inexpensive, even named brand sets, are made of carbon steel and are really only designed for thread "chasing" but get marketed and sold as used for thread cutting. They can and do function ok for general use but if you plan on doing much in the way of thread cutting I recommend a good set of HSS taps and dies. I like Greenfield, Butterfield, OSG or Norseman HSS thread cutting tools myself.
As for welders, I have not had the best of luck with multi-process machines. I've had a couple over the years, mainly earlier in my career and found that they will do one function better than another. For multi-process you need a machine that does CC (constant current) which is usually used for TIG welding and CV (constant voltage) used for MIG welding.
I prefer to have dedicated machines for this reason as they do the operation that they were designed for much better than a multi-process machine.
Now that being said, my experience was with the older transformer machines so maybe the newer technology using inverter based welder will be different. I have no personal experience with the new Miller 220 but I have read the reviews and people did seem to like it. If I were you I would go to your local welding supply store and see it they will let you play with one to get a feel for how it performs each operation.
Sorry I couldn't be more help with that particular welder.
Mike
Watched 2 times great shop
Thank you. I appreciate the kind words and thank you for taking the time to watch it, not once but twice. 👍
Mike
Супер мастерская!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍супер инструмент!
A million in inventory for a wagon project😊
Nice though
Thank you and thanks for taking the time to watch.
Mike
Nice bro
What kind of engine hoist is that?
I can't remember where I purchased that from. I think it was either the local AutoZone or O'Reilly's. I like this one because it collapses and saves space when not being used.
Mike
Nice
Thank you. Much appreciated.
Mike
What did you make those bench tops from
I secured two thicknesses of 3/4" plywood on top of the steel framework and topped it with 10-gauge hot rolled steel. Makes for a very solid workbench.
Thanks for watching.
Mike
@@zmotorsports62 What did you use to bend that 10 gauge like that.
I had my local metal supplier bend it. I went deeper with the benches in this shop and so glad I did. My last shop's workbenches were 26" deep and I made these 30" deep with a 6" turn- up at the back and a 2" turn- down at the front lip.
You sound like Dana White
Great video!! If I ever break down out that way I know who to call!! Ps us that the black rubber wedding band?
Thank you. Yes, it's a black silicone wedding ring. Very comfortable, especially when pulling on wrenches.😜
Thanks for taking the time to watch.
Mike
I have the same ring!!! In my profession it's all we can wear
I wish I had them thirty-five years ago when first married and started my career. They're awesome. I've only been wearing a silicone one for about four years now.
Yes they are. I've broken 3 of them but still have my finger to put a new one on it!! I only wear my original gold 1 on special occasions!!
👍💪👍💪💪👍💪👍
Oh $#!+... Im coming.
Ahhh!!
Thank you and thanks for watching.
Mike
Evening sir….I need to mail you some stuff. E-Mail me through our channel so I can send you some goodies. Thank you sir.
Brother by far the best shop toolboxes tools and equipment ive seen on you tube as to date period.i can jst see all the haters jajajaja jajajaja
Thanks. . I'm pretty proud of it. Thank you for taking the time to watch and for the kind words.
Mike
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Mike!
Awesome video, I looked forward to seeing this one.
Just like you I really like the new Snap-on dmm, the leads not so much. But Drail Diagnostics (on Facebook, Instagram and RUclips) makes some sweet custom leads that beats anything else in my opinion.
With best regards, Anders from Sweden. 👋🏼
Anders, thank you very much for watching and the holiday wishes.
I appreciate the info on the leads, I'll have to look at them.
Mike
