Adam Savage, is there any chance that you could please do a video on etiquette & advice about "lending & borrowing" of TOOLS and what to do in these cases.
~I say buy some used like at a pawn shop, etc. or the very cheapest (price) new 'second' set of power tools for lending out, don't lend out your primary expensive good set. Also doesn't hurt to have a second set for a backup.
~Because we sometimes have a hard time saying "no" to people who want to borrow our tools.
~Also the other issue about the 2 different shops and lack of shop space. Well, get a building permit and build an addition on one of the shops. A gable end, third gable, or lean-to side addition.
On the communication aspect. When I am working with someone I don't normally do. Like, basically anyone that isn't my father really. Me and him can work all day long in two separate things in the same time and not say ten words to each other, unless help is needed. On the other side of that same token, if it's someone else, I try to keep constant communication between myself and the other person. Safety and general questioning about the project are the usual topics. Just the other day I put in a new faucet at my stepmoms kitchen, they would rather me do it for free then pay someone to do it, she has a foster kid that is very inquisitive about what I was doing, so I talked through what I was doing, kind of like narrating my actions, and if she didn't understand something I tried to explain it in a different way she could understand. It made me feel good in the end, I got to do a small amount of teachingthat wouldn't be learned through normal Chan els for an 11 year old, despite having gotten the wrong part, twice, it taking almost 2 months, and getting almost run over my a semi on the way to by the correct part on the third visit to the hardware store.
I would totally watch that tiny shop makeover show
I'm setting up a woodworking shop in my garage, while my wife is setting up a sewing/crafting room in our loft. I'm amazed at how similar the processes are. I'd love to see a show compare the spaces of different makers, and find the organizational tips that each can learn from the others.
I feel like it would become repetitive
@@HoLeeFuk317 Agreed. It seems like a good idea until you really start to think about it. One of the main draws to HGTV style makeover shows is the different design and aesthetics of each space. Maker spaces are usually very utilitarian. It would be like watching restaurant kitchen makeovers. Just kind of a little bit interesting, but not really. Just my .02
@@wakamiwailer I think there is some work around it. Kinda like "Kitchen Nightmare", they dont just do a kitchen makeover.
If Adam went all the way to someone's shop I don't think the show would be just about the shop make over. It could also show the different strategies that each maker has for their job, the tools that they use, the paradigms that they follow for their work, and a know-how experiences that the maker and Adam could talk about. Also, there isnt just a ONE TRUE workshop, each type of work and budget produces wildly different workshops and needs.
I would binge watch the tiny shop makeover show so fast!! I currently have a little space set up in my dorm room so I can do my homework (I'm in a theatre tech program) and also work on my cosplays. I also use the cellar of my parents' basement when I'm not here at school, and I totally relate to the thing at the beginning of the video about having to take breaks because my hands get too cold. This video speaks to me on so many levels!
Oh man I got one of the walmart folding tables to do craftwork on model airplanes, sep table for 3d printing and then my pc for cadding all separated. It helps compartmentalize the space for me in my mind. Studying aerospace right now.
"That's where my rickshaw is"
The most Adam Savage thing to say, ever.
This was a great episode. For now, I'm split between two houses for shop space and an additional home and a vehicle that must hold tools for general repairs. For a while now one shop has been leaning towards wood work and the other mechanical and metal fabrication. But I never intentionally planned it that way. It just sort of grew. Now, where did I leave that _ _ _ _ _ _ ?
I'm stuck with a L-shaped workshop in my basement, that is decently large enough (~375 sq. ft. and holds a large table saw, miter saw station, a few benches and misc. tool stations), but is very hard to access with large materials. I have to pre-cut the large stuff in my garage to get it downstairs by myself without having to get someone to help (think 4x8 plywood). I also have a separate laundry room in my basement that I purposely made large enough to have a countertop with cabinets I can sit at so I could do "clean" projects there and not in my dirty workshop. It is all about assessing what you have and making the best of it.
I had the split shop for a few years. Finally split it into my handyman/home improvement stuff in the garage and the gunsmithing/wood working/machine shop in the shed. I eventually to save constantly walking between the two, had a lot of "two of everything." When I moved three years ago, I finally consolidated everything into one location and while not perfect, much better.
I do sort of the same thing in my shop that has a large "office" in it. All my cleanish stuff like gunsmithing, leatherwork, bow tuning, sewing, etc is in the office. All the wood working, metal working, engine work, lawn tool repair, and all other major projects that make massive messes and dust are in the main shop area. Helps a ton especially when I don't have a great dust collection yet
HELLS YEAH! I’d love for Adam to come to the U.K. to help with my 4x5m workshop!
Failing that, I’d love to see a show based on that so I could implement the ideas and concepts myself.
So many of the things said in this video resonated with me. Shop organization is all about what adds value to the process happening in that space. At my place of employment, we have almost no organization. It's like trying to work on your car in your Grandad's garage where everything is thrown into coffee cans. And by the way, Grandad retired, and his assistant doesn't remember where anything is.
"It is a process, not a task" and "to make communicating part of the dance" are both suuuuuuuuch good statements, I wanted to post them as a comment so they can be remembered!
Shop infrastructure builds are some of my favorite on this channel, so I can’t wait for the eight new episodes where you create solutions for those areas you pointed out. 😄
Yeah, when being organized pays off it really feels great. I especially love when I have my shop really tidy and I tackle a difficult or complex project. I generally get a boost of confidence and energy knowing that I'm so well prepared for it.
a lot of what i've gathered from adam's sharing is that it depends on the person but being organized helps out a lot in future aspects of life and a "high performance pattern" as my therpaist says.
Adam... you DO host your own show. You can certainly run a little series on here where you visit small makers across the nation and help them out. You have contacts and vendors that you can reach out to for sponsorship, you have the views here for them to justify the expenditure on the concept.... you just need to do some legwork to put it in action. Linus Tech Tips recently convinced Intel to spend tens of thousands of dollars for his own employees to get Tech upgrades for home PC setups and run it as a series of videos on youtube. Start making calls and seeing if anyone is willing to work with you on the idea and hash out deals! I would love to see such a video series too!
Sharing spaces. Acknowledge that everybody has different needs. So communicate and let the group make decisions about layout etc. Try not only to get everybody on the same page but let them develop that 'page'.
Sharing spaces? Well, the washer and dryer are in the garage/shop, that's about as far as that is going to go.
you've teased the shop makeover show a couple times now... PLEASE make that happen. I would TOTALLY watch that!
One solution for the split workspace/2 of everything... Identify the tools you'll need in both locations and put them in a belt or apron. Savage Industries makes an excellent apron.
Another vote for tiny shop makeover show! That sounds awesome!!
I have found the key to getting buy in from others is to give them agency in change. Get the group to agree what is the priority of changes and get them to agree on solutions. Don't introduce too many changes at once. The leader's role then becomes an agent of change. The leader should get the team to periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the changes and to figure out why some changes aren't effective. Like you said, it's a process not a task.
Add "and support" after "change," and......nvm, you'll be fired. Management ain't having any of the minions having ideas.
@@custos3249 unfortunately, for many places you're right. But as companies have to compete more and more for labor I hope that the ones that respect employees more are the ones that come out on top.
@@jefft7085 That's the dream, but when it's endemic to and the norm in every industry - I recently left my dream of becoming a psychologist because this shit's completely unmitigated even there - we need something with greater tensile strength than hope.
@@custos3249 I work in software development and we are definitely seeing a change in perspective. The shops that embrace grassroots improvements are seeing the most growth.
@@jefft7085 Exactly why I'm going back to college for electrical and computer engineering like I should've 15 years ago.
The way I’ve always thought about the shop split which I’ve dealt with many times in past living situations is that you can often think of a more outdoor connected space as a raw materials ingestion and rough breakdown of that raw material into specific parts and then as you move to higher precision operations the tools for those operations are in your other shop area. Finally as Adam mentioned for final finishing or messy operations you can move back to the outdoor space and take advantage of the ventilation, drying space, etc
A good Master always learns from his students.
Lovely advice given. I've been involved in 5S for years, but this advice is the best way of saying it and better, implementing it. Thanks!
~6:10 That's the feeling I want when my workshop/studio is up and running some day.
Have lived with split workspaces all my life, Don't cross the streams! Definitely easiest to split by type (welding/wood or clean/dirty). Less trouble with compatibility of messes (sawdust and sparks and fumes) fewer tools that need to be in two places at once, those that do, like screwdrivers, pliers, and wrenches, are cheap enough to double-up on. Currently mine are split by miles not feet, so the truck also becomes a rolling toolbox. Also striking a balance between space to work and materials on-hand is important (leading by negative example here...) storage can takeover if you let it.
Oh I would totally watch that show! My partner and I have a very good working relationship especially with spaces. It's a constant evolution. Having our own spaces is very important to us, having a collaborative space is also super important. We do a lot of art shows and work in different mixed media. Just last week my partner brought up an idea to change up our basement to make it more usable for us both. It is going to make creating much better for us.
Ah yes, organize before working. I recently finished building a DIY 3D printer, and had to find each tool I needed every time I needed it. But now that it is finished, I used it to build a tool organizer for everything I needed when working on it. A definite cart before the horse experience :-).
Yeah, but next time you have a set of tools to organize you have the experience of making one already, and you can take what worked well and improve what didn't when you go to design the new one!
This was so helpful. I sell on Amazon and have turned our house into a house/toy store/Dept store. And they way that my other organizes things drives me crazy and the way that I do drives her crazy. You gave such a insightful answer that ill look into finding better ways to resolve this issue that really erks me
I Could wholeheartedly relate to your multi-workspace concepts. I Do Airbrush, Woodwork And Stage blasting glass. One definitely doesn't work with the other!
In line of Adam’s quote “Ideally people follow rules that make sense to them.”
I’ve learned that it definitely helps when you can calmly, clearly and without judgement explain the reasoning behind those rules. “Because I say so!” or “Because of safety” don’t cut it.
“Your results may vary” definitely applies here, but this is my experience in working with other people.
Thank you so much for your reflections on managing a shared workshop! Thanks especially for the reminder to look for the rewards of the job in the process itself. Sometimes I seem to be so focused on the expected outcome (THE Vision) that only frustration can result. So yeah, thanks from a lazy perfectionist
About a year and a half ago, I got "tired" of my shop. Not that I didn't know where things were. It was something that Adam said in one of his videos, the bit about having the tools you use the most, the most accessible. I measured the space, then sat down and put it on paper, then I made cut outs to match each piece of equipment, and figured out where I wanted it. It was at that point I realized a problem .. I had too much! My space was basically a long, single garage. Another space in the house for "office space" and a couple of small sheds outside. My tools and abilities fell into many realms. I built and worked on new homes and commercial buildings, had enough tools at one time for about six crews, which I had whittled down over the years, but not enough, I had many "materials". After much deliberation I narrowed down "what" I still wanted to do, what I "needed" etc. I then went about making it happen. I decided I want to still do "electronics". This is something that needs "clean", small space, and not many tools, more or less a "station" is adequate. I also do a fair bit of design work, I use a drafting table and computer for that, very rarely together. The "Office" became the drafting / electronics/ office stuff room. I haven't done much woodworking in years, I'm more in the metal work realm, it can be "dirty" ... it was relegated to the Garage. I got rid of most of the wood working stuff, but still needed some for "around the house and work". With that thinking I went to "organizing the garage. Simply, "defining" what I wanted to do in each space was part of the major hurdle! Basically, the same as stated by Adam for the two space workshop! I had tools etc. in nooks and crannies all over the place. I had "shop" at work, and another at home, and many times the tool I needed, was in the other place, an hour each way to get to! And the one tool at each place, didn't seem to matter, it was always the "single" tool you owned that you needed! I started in one corner of the garage and over six months, worked around the whole garage, clockwise ... new custom shelving's, racks, all walls had purpose, peg board everywhere with shelf standards floor to ceiling at each stud, custom cabinets. I used every space, nook and cranny. I built pegboards hanging in a rack on barn door tracks. "Everything" had a place and was easily accessible. I had "sections" like one just for "air" related tools and accessories, another area, just for cordless tools, accessories and a battery charging stations, ... close to a electrical outlet! During the process, many tools and materials were found to be double and triple (or more!). I sold the multiples and almost paid for everything I had put out for the upgrades. Anybody working with me could find things easily, and know where to put them back. My "main joy" as a result. I could walk into the shop and do a job so much faster, no matter the size of the job, it was faster! I was turning out projects a 2 to 3 times my normal speed, just by being able to grab what I needed, use it, and put it away to get it out of the way! Like Adam said, spending time "labeling" is a "luxury" in the making, I could go to spot and pick out the bolts I needed, with the particular nuts and washers in a moment, instead of "digging" for 15 to 20 moments. I re-arranged a few spots after using them and finding them lacking, the end result was wonderful. Sadly, within a few months of completion, I had to move! At the moment, my shop is in boxes! But, very well organized boxes, just waiting for me to finish my new and improved shop! It is way easier, the second time, I know how to do it, and where everything, including me is going to be put!
Thank you for the great advice, Adam.
I have a shop that has 2 different workspaces or with an "office" so to speak. What I have found for me is to split them into 2 different types of workspaces- clean and dirty. Not that I don't make a mess in the office but I keep all my major mess (and non climate controlled stuff) stuff in the main area of the shop, so wood working, metal working, anything with oil or gas or volatile chemicals, etc. Then in the office I keep everything that I want relatively clean or climate controlled- gun smithing, leather work, model making, working on my bow, sewing, small detailed things, etc. I also keep specific hobbies in their own boxes/tackleboxes so that when I want to work on that kind of project I open up that box and use that and put it away when done. It helps cut down on clutter
I had to split my blacksmith work between two shops for just shy of four years, and unified them about six months ago after a house move close to the bigger shop. Now I have one shop that can barely contain two shops' worth of stuff! I'm awash in shitfights, but I'm glad to have a shop at all. 😀
That show idea is awesome! I'd love to watch that too
I have a whole 2 car garage for the dirty macro work. I have a desk in my office with my 3d printer and my small tools. I do my 3d printing, watch maintenance, mini figure painting in the corner of my office. Then I head outside for my aluminum machining, vehicle maintenance, woodworking projects. I had to specialize each space kind-of like you explained. I just created an entirely new workspace in my office for my wife for her sewing machine and to whittle.
If you have the land space, 20 and 40' shipping containers make really nice shop space expansions. Magnetic walls and the ability to isolate the space for dust control and paint control can be VERY handy. Of course ... if you have space.
A best learning experience to you Daddy. I leaned so much while listening your words🤩😊
Please make that show, would watch it religiously.
Savage makeovers.........sounds like a great show, i'm in
I would definitely watch that shop organization show! But you'd have to be hosting.
Yeah, I think its a fantastic idea.
I think it would be most interesting if he went between "regular" shops (carpentry/woodworkers/etc.) to "Maker Spaces" where multiple processes happen in a space (design/fabrication/packaging/shipping).
Could get buy in from companies like "Etsy" and 'Pirate Ship', to name a few !
Adam you have a great show. What you are doing is very important for future inventors and builders. How great would it be to see someone like Charlie Taylor the Wright Bros. mechanic answering question.
I do that exact thing. I have two locations and have ended up using one for mechanical projects and the other for wood working projects. I still double up on a lot of tools, but it works overall.
Do the small shop makeover show! It'd be incredible.
This is so crazy... I was just thinking of building a specific workbench for my apartment.... I have 3 or 4 work benches already at my garage but the garage is so cluttered with projects!!. Great topic!! We could all use a lot more space and organization..
Mate you should try and get that off the ground it’s a great idea. I’d watch that for sure and so would millions more. What a great idea Adam
You can totally come and makeover my tiny space. It’s a sewing studio in the corner of our basement apartment
Yes! Please do that shop makeover show!
+1 for the tiny shop show! - East-Asian makers/RUclipsrs make amazing stuff in tiny apartments, it would be great to see their stories included :)
I own two homes 350 miles apart. The amount of tool duplication I’ve purchased so I can get stuff done at each place brings tears to my eyes. I often transport my gear back and forth but I have to project out what I might need for the next 3 months. I always come up short and have to buy something I already own. It’s maddening.
I was given some great advice for working with a spouse.. "Logic beats indifference, but passion beats logic." Basically, if one partner feels strongly about something, that is more important than doing that thing the "correct" or logical way.
I deal with this problem every day. I have to juggle my tools and equipment between my shop in the barn, my garage shop, my project room and my classroom. I teach a technology program at a trade school and I am constantly bringing my own tools and equipment to the school, leaving them there and realizing I need them at home shortly after.
I have exactly this problem, my engineering and woodworking workshop is 10 miles away, my modelling (railway not catwalk) is in the loft where there is no natural light so my model building is split between the conservatory (good light but too cold in winter) and the dining room. The one thing you need to make it all work is a very long suffering and supportive wife!
As a life-long engineer with a habit of breaking the functional fixedness of any horizontal surface around me, division has its merits.
If you are ever looking for an excuse to come down to florida I have a shed shop that I could use a hand with. I’ll gladly be the pilot episode of tiny shop makeovers 😝
Adam you have always been a fascinating intelligent figure. But, only today did I realize you are quite wise as well.
My little brother and I currently share a workshop(s), I'm 27, he's 17, we have an old barn with upstairs/downstairs, downstairs is a blacksmith and general metalworking shop with forge, welder, grinders, etc. Upstairs is the woodshop, with table saw, thickness planer, jointer, etc. A garage with large motorized things(riding lawn mowers, go kart, etc). A small shed with weed wackers, chainsaws, push mowers, etc, and finally a small detached building that was formally the kitchen for the old house we live in (built in 1882) that serves as a crafting studio for myself and our mom, she has her sewing machines, and I have a setup for jewelry work, silversmithing, and other "fine precision" work, like final finish work on knives, etc. Trying to keep track of what tools are where is an absolute nightmare!!
Where feasible, I'm a big fan of separate spaces for separate types of work. I keep one general shop space (mostly woodworking centric) in my garage, a smaller, dedicated area in my basement for gunsmithing, and related work, and am setting up a third space in my shed for yard tool maintenance. The last being a small set of tool necessary for basic tractor maintenance, a cheap grinder, a vise, and some files, basically a sharpening station for mower blades and chainsaws.
Each of the two smaller shop spaces has their own set of tools that cover the work done in those spaces 80 to 90% of the time. If I find a need a particular tool more than once or twice a year, I start shopping for an acceptable version to leave in that space.
Definitely would watch a tiny shop makeover, could use the advice!
I would totally watch that show too.
I like to try and have separate "build" and "finish" areas. One generates a ton of chaos and clutter. The other allows for "clean as you go".
A general good rule for sharing workshop or organizing. Pick your fights wisely
I have the exact same problem. I have a small shop in my basement and a larger one in my garage. I live in the northeast so the uninsulated garage is too cold to work in in the winter. It's basically come down to using hand tools and doing restorations or "quiet" projects in the house and larger builds and power tools in the garage.
For tools in 2 locations- hockey tape works great. I have a set of tools with bright green hockey tape wrapped around each tool. Those stay in the house. If I ever am thinking 'where is my claw hammer' I end up thinking 'where is the claw hammer without tape' or 'where is the hammer with tape'. The tape fades over time, and when I deep clean a tool I also replace the tape. Rolls are cheap at any sporting goods store
For dual workshop, I keep the tools most likely to be useful on cars (and in the outdoors) in the garage and other tools in the basement. I do double up on some things but keep the cheaper ones where they will less likely be needed. Not a perfect solution but it works well enough.
I work in 3 different spaces and my stuff is distributed by function, each place has a group of functions that complement each other in some way. The 4th space is my Land Cruiser, where I keep the essentials all the time in a system of drawers and shelves.
I've been wanting to see Adam take his Shop Infrastructure on the road for a while, helping small shops.
For workspaces shared by many types of people I suggest taking a tour of a large vocational school (high school level or community college, who still have different kinds of shops)
Split shop is not fun, but at my place, woodworking in the garage. Models and 3d printing in the mancave basement... Not perfect, not even close, but it is what I've got!
I have very un-relatable amount of spaces, but that split shop thing is very relatable. Toolboxes you can move can be an aid. Some doubling might be unavoidable (two compressors, two ratchet sets). I'm tempted to try one of those rolling stacking things but they're so expensive. I am planning to put big (from old big wheel lawnmower) back wheels on my welding cart, because my bigger, unheated/uncooled, less convenient space has 220 while my nearer space (garage) does not, so I anticipate using both for different welding tasks.
You must have the contacts - make that show happen!! Pull in the folks from Make: and All the various suppliers from Rockler Hardware to the Container Store to Lowes, the potential sponsor list is as long as your arm.
Our house is actually too small to have a workshop so Ive had to do all my work on the front porch. As long as I keep my stuff organized I can just pop inside for something or just bring out just what I need for whatever I’m doing. Would be nice to be inside during the winter months though lol
Being someone who is really into computers, electronics and 3D printing, it is very difficult to work in a small space and I find myself abandoning projects because it is too cramped. I have 1/4 of a spare bedroom with a 6ft x 3ft desk for all my cable storage, filament storage, soldering, and 2x 3D printers. Got my girlfriend a drawing/painting workbench for Xmas so I can also use that for painting now too, but man is it a hassle having so little space.
for the shop organizing show, maybe get a group where yall take turns touring. This way you can host and watch. Also would allow current host to be able to call in help from another host if needed.
Sitting in my tiny NY apt room. Yeah I'd watch that.
I have the same issue as Lex Jr. I have a basement and a detached shed area in the yard. I also have multiple of several tool varieties to make it easier, but metal working (anything flamable) is outside, wood working is inside. I wish it was the other way, as the woodworking makes a lot more mess, but I gotta keep the forging and welding out of the house (and away from the sawdust).
For Heracles, Dont. It will cheaper in the long run to just rent a new space for the significant other...
My multi location tool strategy is to designate a brand for a location. Mine is: House: Stanley, Garage: Craftsman, junkyard tool bag: Harbor Freight,
That's the Marie Kondo show for Workshops. Or the Queer Eye show for Makers. You could call it Makerspace Makeover.
I like to keep everything dust free in my music room and all the noisy/dusty stuff is in a dedicated room. Ted woodford is the best interesting that you are looking at his amazing work!!
Yes to the shop tiny shop make over show. I was a bit surprised you didn't think of Sortismo as a possible sponsor.
My wife and I have two spaces that could use a tiny shop makeover show. One sewing room with something like 24 sewing machines now and, one building area that I'm not 100% sure what I'm doing with but I have 3 3D printers and a CNC router in it.
I've had split shop buildings multiple times.
Few suggestions are making 1 a 'clean' zone and other is 'dirty'. I.e. everything that makes sawdust, shavings, chips happens in the 'dirty' shop then the 'clean' work such as assembly happens in the clean side.
Another approach is to have 1 shop entirely storage for materials/parts and the other for working. Keep as much items in the storage shop which aren't needed daily so the 'working' shop can focus on the actual work.
Or
I want him to watch you host this show. Excellent idea.
Haha, yeah. It has been especially foggy here on the north coast. Thanks.
8:48 I have Asperger's and have often gotten in trouble with management when I have failed to follow a rule that didn't make sense to me, or more specifically, rules that seemed to be hindering me in my work.
People need to pay more attention to how Art Stores and Home Depot type stores set up. Kinda like going to the Grocery Store, To look for Color Combinations for Projects.
I have a similar problem like LexLuthorJr.
My garage/workshop is not connected to my house. I always have to leave the house, but I also need tools in my house. It's not that far, just a 30 sec. walk, but when it's cold outside or bad weather, I don't want to leave to house. so I bought the most necessary tools a second or third time. the main tools for my workshop work are stored in the workshop/garage. Tools I need in my house as ex. to repair things I store them in my basement. but I don't have a workbench in the house. I use a peace of leather as a protection on my dinnertable to work on it.
I have the same problem and I have My tools in Garage and my hardware in the basement. So when I need screws and such I go to basement for them
I'd love to have my tiny basement workshop made over by Adam 🤣
please do tiny-shop-makeover-show!
i would totally watch "adam savages tiny spaces."
Watching Adam talk about the space behind the camera, I'm more convinced than ever that, by the end of the summer, he's going to either move or completely empty and rebuild this space.
I live in a 20 foot tiny house and silversmith out of it I would love to do that show.
Tool sharing is my problem. I’m lucky enough to have a very well-equipped shop, but it’s nearly 20 min away from my house. I have a lot of duplicates of basic tools, but inevitably I need an expensive tool in the other location.
I would watch a half-day escapade.
There are many a good books that have good advice on breaking process refinement loops that are self serving and nonproductive
I nominate myself for Adam to makeover my garage shop. I do everything. Mechanic, wood working, electrical, paint, welding, plumbing, model making, and digital work. I’m working out a two car garage that still have use a typical garage storage like holiday crap and extras. My set up is everything to be mobile. I have two drill presses and they have wheels. I built a multi function work table that has wheels with my table saw, router, miter saw built in one side and the other is flip top with a plainer, grinder, vice built in and with a vacuum system. The was designed to fit into my spray booth when my booth ain’t being used to open the floor. Got a bench next to both of my tool cabinets with a electrical station. I store most of my materials in the rafters. I do the best I can with the space I got. I really need a bigger place. I challenge Adam to make my spot better because I thing it’s already the best it can get.
I very much enjoy Adam's vocabulary. What is the word used at about 3:39 describing the variety of types of projects? I can't quite catch it.
"Where is the thing?" is truly the world's biggest mystery.
“Sure, hammers are easy to find.”
Because Every Tool Is A Hammer
I see what you did there, Adam
