At last a RUclips woodworker who lives in my universe. I shall watch your progress with interest young Skywalker.
haha thanks and may the Force be with you
That is so neat and tidy.
I don’t think I can come up with this kind of plan.
Couldn’t have done any better.
Great job Tom Cruise!
Great work! Looks awesome! Love the vibes of your videos. As a new woodworker, It’s nice to see a RUclipsr who matches more closely with my reality. Using modest tools in a modest space to do what you love in your free time. I dig it. Look forward to seeing what you do next!
That's great to hear and thank you 😊
I was just thinking that I'm limited by the tools that I don't have and she does!
That looks like a very functional space. I remember starting my woodworking out of an old shed with a leaky roof and uneven floor almost 18 years ago and the first move to a bigger shop was a game changer. It allowed me to be more inspired because I could take on bigger projects and let my creativity loose and also gave me more of an appreciation for my space and I kept it cleaner and better organized as a result. I look forward to seeing where your woodworking journey takes you.
table saw is a must have in a woodshed. hard to imagine you have gotten by without one all this time. even a small one will make a huge difference , also not seeing a miter saw....I cant even imagine working without a miter saw.
The new shop is turning out great! I really liked the magnetic curtain divider idea. That gave me a great idea for a temporary spray booth!
Oh nice! I could see that working well.
I love the way you splain as you duing your project you will be a professional the way you going
It looks like the workbench is racking quite a bit. Maybe swap the casters you have for a side mounted type that can be retracted to allow the bench legs to sit on the floor directly. Then add a layer or even two layers of plywood to the top to bring the height back and also to add some weight and stability to the top.
Now you need to buy more tools to fill up all that space looking forward to that
She's doing great.👍❤️
I built a couple of the same benches and have found them really useful especially for chopping up sheet goods.
Etabli sur roulettes avec freins, c'est ce que je me suis fabriqué il y a quelques années. C'est vraiment super. Tu as fais du bon boulot. ❤😊
You are are so frugal. That is a high compliment. Your videos are so great for those just starting out. Keep it up
Thanks! It's easy to over-spend in this hobby so trying to save where I can
Great job! Amazing what you accomplished in one day! Can't wait to see more.
I'm definitely liking the wall storage you built.
Move your bar clamps to in between your wall studs to get more room on your French fleet wall
There it was! Congrats on your new workshop :^)
Well done !! its nice to see lady doing woodwork , that Table saw will be a game changer for you . I look forward to see how you progress :) I only have 48 years being a carpenter
Looks great. Enjoy
wonderful project! can not wait to see the rest!
I would add a workmate, they take up little space when folded, set up quickly, and are handy. Great for clamping pieces that you're cutting, and can clamp irregular shaped pieces. I would also add a vice to your worktop.
Turned out great. Looking forward to new projects!
Very cool. So fun to use the new workbench to build shop improvements!
Looks very nice, great job. One thing I'd do is, insulate the other wall and drywall it or 1/4" plywood.
I use a long 30ft cen-tec quick connect hose from amazon on my shop vac to help with the dust and a dust separator to a 5 gallon bucket.
Excited to see the stuff you’ll come up in this shop. Great to see the improvement in size 😊
It sure beats my 8x10 garden shed! But, beggars can't be choosers. 😜 Still working on getting mine organized. But like you say, it's a work in progress.
Use what you have I say. Ever look at Low Roman workbenches. Rex Krueger and the Unplugged Woodworking have great videos on them. Super handy and useful. I work out of a 1car garage also, but I have tons of stuff in it, so limited room to work. the low bench is portable and easy to store.
We all start somewhere :)
I like your workshop ... I had learned a lot
It's good, but sanding plastered walls before painting will look better
Good job 👍🏻 looking forward to seeing your other jobs
Looks like a nice space. Have you considered getting a light socket to electrical outlet adapter so you could plug the lights into that and use the wall switch to turn on your shop lights?
Someone else mentioned this and that is a good idea
clean shop is an efficient shop. Nicely done
Much appreciated!
Super cool! I just used the same guide for my bench. Works great!
Shop looks good! Can’t wait to see what’s next!
you should read Christopher Schwartz’ work on workbenches.
Great start on your new shop. Greetings from Massachusetts!
Hello there and thanks!
Well this is kind of funny. Yesterday I watched you video about moving into the tiny shed/shop and passed the o how a new shop will come to you and any shop you have is better than none. And sure enough you have a new larger shop . . . already. Luck you. Keep up the good work and keep moving forward and learning more. It’s a great place to relax and unwind.
It definitely came quicker than I expected haha. Thanks!
That step coming in clutch with the skill saw
I have limited space as well and found that a radial arm saw makes better use of space than a table saw. You'd want to get an older used one, but if you're patient you can get a nice one that still works great.
This had to have been the first video I've seen of a French Cleat system build without a table saw or miter saw. I'm beyond impressed.
Heck yeah... im looking for ideas ... glad i found ya...
Perfectly made it your own, great job!! If interested in adding more shelves there’s a great video by Ana White on garage shelves from 2x4’s. 😊
Very nice job organizing things!
It's a good start haha
I love the way you’ve built some of the storage for the weird shaped tools - it gave me the idea to see if I can adapt it to peg board hangers since I inherited my grandfather wall tool chest from my dad and the inside is all pegboard!
I too did tarps in my single car garage shop, but I did it to stop the dust from getting on storage and over my wall attached workbench/storage on the other wall, I used clear shower curtains so I could still watch the free, ancient monitor turned streaming TV while kicking up all the sawdust since I don’t have dust collection set up either. Just installed flexible ceiling curtain tracks I got on ikea for both sides so I can have them out of the way when I need things completely open. Plus, it hides my lumber storage which all my nosy neighbours accused me of being hoarder for.
A neat, clean well organized work shop is satisfying and helps with that little dose of admiration when you open the shop doors and want to do some work. And only you knows how much work it took.
Cool video, and way to take control and optimize your space!
Hi there! You might not need a bench vise (yet), there are a lot of workholding options that are cheap and easy. For example Rex Krueger and Shawn Graham (Wortheffort on youtube) have great videos but from a hand tool backgrownd. Planing stops, bench hooks, bench dogs or even shop made vises can be great, just pick what you need and don't waste time or money on something that might be cool but might not be really useful to you and your work
Some good suggestions / alternatives. Thanks!
Excellent!
I love to see how with each iteration of your shop it gets just a tad better. I loved seeing you have fun creating all the additions to the cleat wall. I love the your low key approach to your videos too. I hope you continue this is the kind of videos that are treasured.
Thank you! Glad you're liking the style of these little videos
Can’t wait to see more video of your garage improvements
I love DeWalt tools!
You did a great job. Congratulations on the new shop.
Thank you!
Congrats on the new space! Looking forward to more videos..
ps take a 2x4 16#long cut a 1 inch deep v clamp to bench to hold dowels thnx
Really good video, you gave me some ideas for my shop 👍
Looks great, good job!
Great job!
First time watching, love the shop progress. I’ve been a woodworker most my life, all the shops I’ve worked in we cover our plywood bench’s (expensive!) in hardboard. 2 reasons it protects from damage and from glue drips, also a 1/4 inch sheet is inexpensive. Hope this helps, keep up the great work can’t wait to see the new table saw👍
Thanks :)
Hey, an amazing job. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it!
Great job 🙂
Hope all well 💖💖
it is now that the shop is done
That French cleat wall is an excellent idea. I’m going to have to use that in my “shop”. Great video!
That's pretty cool.. I have had around ten different shops in my life. From a four by eight to a twenty by a hundred. Currently in the 20+100. The bigger the shop the more tools you acquire. And you always have to keep organized in order to have enough space, and to remember where the hell every thing is
Great video! Keep them coming!
Really like your video! Resourceful and not emphasis on tools (like almost everyone else on youtube) Among all the small garage beginner workshop content, yours are my favorite!
You did an amazing job of organizing your garage! I especially love the French Cleat wall, which I think that I will try in my garage!
Well done!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thanks for sharing your garage shop build! You created a useful, effective space which is a great example for anyone working in a one car garage space where a wide variety of tasks will be performed. Your design is clean, practical, and provides useful storage and workspace capabilities. It is much appreciated.
Happy to share! Thanks for the kind words.
I think it is awesome how you set it up. Along with your enthusiasm , and creativity. Keep it up.
Appreciate it!
Looks pretty good in them jeans 🥰
I really like the look of your French cleat and you have convinced me to build one for my shed, as you've only used the tools which I already have to make it. The only other thing I think I would have done differently is to leave those over head LED lights constantly on and to run the power chords to a 4 in 1 power board and connect that to a power point switch you have near you. That way you are not constantly reaching up and they can all be switched on/off with the one power point switch.
Nice, hope your French cleat build goes smoothly! And that's not a bad idea
Brilliant thanks Elena.
Thanks for watching!
13:20 my bone conduction headset works so much better with plugs. Great advice for others.
Nice! Gives me some ideas for my new shop!
Great work (once again) 😄😄
haha hoping this will be the last workshop I setup for awhile
Nice workspace ! I have to organize my garage yet again, get rid of things I dont use, and replace a useless pegboard with some french cleat rails myself. and yes the workspace constantly evolves. I added 4 of those 5000lu leds lights to my garage several years ago, I swapped out the overhead bulb receptacles for sockets and simply plugged them into there, so they work off the wall switch. Super bright work area now. I have cheap power tools, but am now learning handtools which I love, no electricity, and low to no noise. If I had your space I would build me Rex Kruegers Minimum Timber bench. But I will tell you, in my currently no space garage, the Low Roman Bench is 100% useful and handy to use. and easy to store. Look forward to more projects.
You need a miter saw. Good luck growing your new shop.
I really do
Great job
Double check the amperage you have going to the garage unit before moving ahead on a table saw and dust collection or you'll be kicking yourself later. Odds are that the whole garage unit is on a single 15amp breaker for the whole space, which you'll easily trip, or at least see low power performance on equipment.
Solid point, I'll take a look. Thanks!
me aparecio en mi feed y tuve que verlo
saludos
Very nice shop. Always great to see people able to be creative with what they have. I am blessed to now have a large building that I have built into my shop. I started out small with not many tools and have been able to add more tools over the past 5 years. I enjoyed watching your video, it is so great seeing our younger generation interested in woodworking -- I look forward to seeing more of your videos, just subscribed.
Thanks 😊
This looks great!! I love your use of cleats for flexible storage - I'm definitely going to try this out for my garage shop 😍😍
Thank you 😊 and do it, they're relatively easy to build and very useful
@elenamakes YES and it's a great way to use my ever growing scrap pile 😅
With a 1 car garage, you might find more use with a Bora Centipede and a track saw instead of a table saw for breaking down large sheet goods.
You are brave. Painting light colors in a black shirt and new black boots !!
Nice upgrade! The table saw will be an awesome addition.
Thanks!
I always over build everything so I know it will stand up to whatever I need it to do.
You did great, bravo! All you need is the table saw and the miter saw to complete the whole package.
Nicely done. New space and new beginning, always fun and a challenge. You are off to a great start. You are correct that a shop is never done. I seem to always be rearranging my space for the project at hand. Great video. Best of luck moving forward. Not sure where you live but stay warm. Look forward to more videos and the evolution of your shop.
Thank you! Luckily I live in an area where a good jacket and a little space heater will keep me toasty enough
I remember those days. My early shop space was a 10x30 storage unit across town. Twenty years later, I now have a 30x40 building in the yard. Keep doing what you enjoy and it will come with time.
For music with hearing protection, I use my AirPods with muffs over them.
That used to be my go to hearing protective setup too but I'm fully converted to the Shokz. Sound quality is slightly inferior but I like using the ear plugs over the bulky muffs especially when I have a respirator on as well.
I hear ya (see what I did there?). I prefer the muffs because I can put them on and off as needed, rather than wearing them for the duration of the task. Of course, that assumes the noise making part of an evolution is only 10% or so of the time.@@elenamakes
A girl after my own heart. Love your work.
honestly your work is magnificent, in this video I have the impression that I am seeing it myself because I am at the beginning of my placement of my garage in workshop wood. You are Amazing 👌
Thank you :)
Great work (again)! You've inspired me to attempt a french cleat system in my workshop in the new year 👍🇬🇧
Thanks! Best of luck attempting your very own French cleat setup
Great job! Maybe add a lip to the jigsaw holder for extra security? Just sitting that high up makes me kind of nervous 😂
haha the other day I was looking at it and thinking I should add a lip for that reason. Good reminder to go ahead and do that.
This is the first time I’ve watched one of your videos, I’m hooked. I can wait to see what else you build. 😀
Lots of projects coming 😊
loved the content, and subbed to see what the future holds....
a bit of advice if I may. The problem with storing wood on bare rafters is, that they aren't designed for that weight.
Those arent floor joists.... they are rafters, designed to support the roof, not carry weight.
They look to be 4 feet apart, and floor joists are 16 inches apart ( to help carry load)
That is just my 2 cents. In Canada snow load is a concern.... maybe not where you are!
Cant wait to see the new content in your space!!!
Cheers from Canada
Appreciate the advice, I’ll keep that in mind :) snow isn’t an issue here but still a valid point
You have a very calming presence. I appreciate that a lot. Lots of other woodworking channels often (albeit admittedly jokingly) double down on the *manliness* of the hobby with buttrock riffs and a weird "grindset". You're just chilling and doing your thang.
Good times.
Much appreciated 🤙🏻
Great video, its really an inspiration for me to see that one can built up woodworking workshop with limited tools at hand. This is what I really like about your videos that you aren’t using any fancy tools at least for now 😊
Appreciate it 😊 haha yeah we’ll see how long until I break down and buy a fancy tool or two.
I wish my shop had high ceilings. Mine is only 8' tall. Doesn't give me much to work with for overhead solutions. The plus side is that it's cheaper to heat. You were putting up your lights and noticed you had to climb on something to pull the string. I connected my daisy chained LED light(5) and plugged that into an Amazon Smart Plug. This way I can turn the lights on and off with either the app or my Amazon Echo. If you are not a fan of Amazon Echo, there are plenty of other Smart plugs that allow you to turn the devices on and off by an app. I have Gosund switches in the house. It allows me to turn lights off that my girls leave on.
Buen trabajo thanks for you vibes.
Much appreciated :)
You have the talent to build your own dust collection system, a few videos here on utube have some pretty creative ideas and they're cheap, can't wait to see what you come up with next
I think you did great
Box fans and furnace filters make good air filtration units. Simple, portable, low noise, low cost, and space saving.
Nice space and great video!
Appreciate it!
