- A brief introduction to Mad Raven Woodworks followed by a quick shop tour. Enjoy my tiny workshop!
Two major tools I forgot to mention were my:
-Porter Cable 6" jointer (not bad for boards less than 6 feet and I recommend it for those on a budget)
-Craftsman 1 3/4 hp fixed base router (does the job!)

Nice shop! I like your down to earth, no bs approach. Not everyone has the money or sponsors to supply buy high end tools. It can be intimidating to people starting up a shop. I've been carpenter / joiner for nearly 40 years and still love my job. I hope you do well young fella! 😉
This is a valuable addition to my woodwork collection ruclips.net/user/postUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz I still will rate this woodwork plan as the best in my reference library. It always seem to stand out from the rest whenever you go through the library. This is a masterpiece.
LOVE HOW CLEAN AND NEET YOU KEEP THE SHOP
I’m a fellow tiny shop worker. Mine is like 8x10. In the middle of a total French cleat overhaul. Glad I found your channel, we share similar philosophies when it comes to tool buying although I prefer to buy older tools and restore them to working order. I got my tablesaw for $15!
Keep up the great job! If you take care of the tool regardless of the cost. It will survive!! You have motivated me to do a video of my small shop!
I feel you brother. I work out of two shed's one is 10x 10 and a 10 x 16. I'm in the process of installing French Cleat system which has already improved my space. I can't even dream of Festool system.
Milwaukee cordless jigsaw. I used to be like you and never had faith in the battery power tools. Really only trusted the drills. But battery tech has come a long way. I was gifted a jigsaw and it got more power on one battery then i ever use in a day. Anyways good stuff man i enjoy the videos.
you forgot the most important part the pot belly!! love the setup mate it's great to see someone else achieving their goals in a shoebox. between you and the samurai I'm sitting on RUclips alot.
Well done mate. My respect for your humility and will to do this in a tight budget and confined space. Thumbs up for restoring your grandads saw. I'm starting out in wood working and actually live in an apartment! So have to work in my balcony! So I was looking for videos on small shop set ups. My balcony is probably less than half the size of your shop hehe. So I'll be making my own workbench which will have a quick swap set up for various power tools. Along with that have a ton of other changes to make to the balcony to alow it to be used as a shop and revert back to a balcony when needed. I've subscribed and will keep an eye out for your content.
Glad i bump into you on You Tube! I got the same size shop and was looking for ideas to organize it better. Your shop inspired me!.
Just came across your channel! I admire you for putting yourself out there and can greatly relate. A fire has been growing in me and I recently discovered that woodworking is what i want to do for the rest of my life. Thank you and keep doing what you're doing! you gained one subscriber.
chowderfaceable i really appreciate that. Woodworking is pretty amazing for so many reasons. Work hard and stay focused on a goal!
Came over from Instagram. Glad to see someone not in a gigantic shop with every tool in the world! I subbed and will watch. Thanks for looking out for fellow poor people ;-)
Poor people gotta stick together! thanks, Eric! lol
Great tour man! I love how clean and organized everything is. Awesome use of the space.
thanks Nate 👊🏼 it's organized, but i can tell you that there are major dust issues lol. I don't bother turning on my shop vac 75% of the time because it will likely trip the breaker and i'll have to walk in the cold 75 yards to reset it.
Dude I love your shop, I’m inspired shopping for a shed now so this video really helped.
Really enjoyed the tour. Thanks for the honest low-down and you have a pleasant style. Good luck!
I have that table saw and it is phenomenal. Never had an issue with mine (knock on wood). Good luck in your endeavor to be a full-time woodworker.
Great small shop set up you have there. Mine is about the same size at 14x19. I look forward to the development of your channel. I think you'll fill a void missing on RUclips, in the lower end to mid range equipment, and what can be created with it. "bang for the buck" is always an important requirement for the hobbyist/entry level woodworker.
S Scott thanks man! I do hope to fill that void eventually. I noticed it too and that's why I started making these videos.
Love your attitude, and your shop. My shop is about the same size. No Festol? Bonus! I decided a long time ago that if I was going to buy the most expensive tools I could find to woodwork, I'd have to wait decades to start. My maxim is, "Don't let money keep you from what you love". If you can't afford a Sawstop or a Powermatic, buy a mid priced table saw. If you can't afford a mid priced table saw, buy a bench top model. If you can't afford a bench top model, buy a portable circular saw. If you can't afford a portable circular saw, buy a hand saw. I too, would like to know about your stove. Video?
nice little set up, my shop is only 18x18 and it's crazy how much stuffed can be crammed in a small place
Awesome shop tour! Short and to the point. Interesting to hear the products that you don't recommend. 👊🏻
Awesome shop area! Take a look at Matias Wandel and John Heisz tool board. I think you will find that a plywood backer that you can position anything with screws is quite ideal compared to the pegboard. Look forward to more to come. I too am sharing a one car garage with a car and two bikes on the wall.
Very nice use of a small space. I'm in an almost identical sized area and I'm nowhere near as organized as you are. Thanks for the ideas. subscribed for sure
I'm also trying to juggle working, going to school and spending some time out in the workshop (garage). Your workspace looks freaking great, my man. Keep up the good work.
Yo man, I dig your channel; you keep it down to earth and real; thanks for that; it's much needed. Most of us woodworkers are on a tight budget. I can relate more to you than the wealthy RUclips celebrities with everything festool; and I'm not tryna hate on them, just sayin'. Anyway keep up the good work brother. Peace, from Chicago.
Cool shop tour Mike! I like your space. Keep the vids coming.
one of my sisters teaches geography at the University of Maine : P
i second the other opinions that mention it's great to see a small, beginning shop
.. the raven calls at the end was a cool addition.
Nice, I am setting up shop in my 10x12 shed, so you give me some ideas about what I can fit in where.. great stuff.
Nice tour, good luck for the channel
Nice video, I'm a fan of your "Blue moon" window coaster. Keep it up. looking forward to future videos.
Charles Massey thanks buddy!
I have the same table saw. I do like it. It is slightly under powered but I find ways to still get the job done.
Paul Hansen that's one my only complaints as well.
New subscriber but I appreciate this video! I am in the process of building my tool/workshop shed. ONLY a 10'x10' shed so I can fully appreciate your issues. We just bought our first home and unfortunately for me, my original plan to hijack our double car garage was destroyed by my wife which is a professional baker. She needed the space for storage cabinets, ingredients, decorating tables, etc. So needless to say...tools and sawdust were NOT going to be approved in that space. Bummed but actually a little stoked too. It has forced me to downsize my tool plans and encourage me to focus on organization, multi-functional tools, and mobile tools. I am afraid the R4512 (buying it today which brought me to this video) being too big for that space but I think I will have plenty of space rolling it toward the door of the shed and being able to still have clearance to have an outfeed table as well as roll it out onto my patio area. REALLY long way of saying...thanks for the video and looking forward to following you along your journey as I learn more.
A big help to get more out of used or md grade power tools iis high quality blades. Nice Shop lay out.
I wish you had mentioned the woodstove. I would in a 16x20 and I'm in the middle of making a decision about how I'm going to heat the shop.
Cool shop. Mines even smaller but has great potential.
I'm a giant, and trying to see how small my shop can be to get what I want out of it. (I only have 1 functioning arm/leg so no table saw for me.)
However, I'm 6'7" 320, so I might want end up going 16x20 on my shed. (I'm still only partially through video, so I'm not 100% sure on size.)
Now... I know the video is 4 years old but for cordless jigsaws.... they are one of my go-to tools (great blades go a long way) and I have to 20v Dewalt, and I'm yet to bury a 5ah battery with it. The angle grinder though... that will eat a 5ah reallllly fast. Lol. I now only use that for short work, and have a few corded angle grinders I use that are mounted to different jigs.
So I'm curious if you tried other cordless jigsaws since this video was made?
Awesome shop! I've just recently started on my workshop, and I hope to have a similar set up someday. Thanks for all the great content!
looks great... I have a tight space too, and make the most of it !!
I agree, You dont need a brand name or expensive tools to build something. All you need is your creativity!
Thanks. I think this will help with planning out my own tiny shop.
Great video man, always love a shop tour and you have me some ideas for my small shop!
Thanks Andrew 🍻👊🏼
Good workshop review! 👍👍
Thank you vey much!!
Nice saw handle! Good luck on the full time woodworking, as that is something I also strive for :)
shoolsux thanks buddy. Never give up!
Very awesome small space
Nice tour. Subbed and thumbs up.
Should I buy Ridgid or Dewalt Planer??
Did you make thr shelf where your drills are hanging thats awsome
Hi mate u didn't mention the Woodburn let's know about that plz 😆😆
Your ol' buddy Trover told me that I should visit and here I am. Looking forward to checking out some of your videos and seeing what you've been up too. I'm a garage junkie myself...have a woodshop/metal shop/whatever workspace that I 'sometimes' work in. I've always played with the idea of testing my own youtube channel. Thanks for the renewed inspiration. Man your shop is clean, organized...hmmmmm...what's up with that?
+Larry Jones hahaha aw shit Cole Trover!? I miss that guy. My shop is clean because business is always really slow haha.
+Larry Jones that was my old shop, the new one is way cleaner
Bench Dog Tools 40-102 ProMax Cast Iron Router Table Extension. It fits the Ridgid table saw and is great. it isn't cheap but worth the money.
Sean Smith thanks for the recommendation! I don't use a router table enough to justify the purchase, but you can guarantee it's on the shopping list. Haha
Thanks for your tour. I am also limited in space and budget.
Nice channel. I guess I could afford higher end tools, but I prefer to keep things simple and inexpensive.
Just like skiing - the gear is fine, but the guy in the gear is what really matters.
Hi there! nice shop...i will kind of set up my shop like this since i will just start woodworking...by the way, do you have a dedicated electrical circuit on your shop? or you just plug in all your power tools on the wall outlet...Thanks bro! good luck on your channel!
Right at the start of the video it shows the background morphing when your head moves. Does that mean this is a green screen? Or do you have a strange lens on the camera?
Looks like a wide lens gopro it gives an odd fish eye look
Lots of webcams do it also
Thanks for the tour.I have a 12/16 shop. I and robbing any space I can to store stuff.
Nice Tour Mike...I like your use of your limited space. So do you do woodwork to make money on the side or solely as a hobby? Or both? I've always done it as a hobby and to make stuff for around my house. I'm considering trying to make some extra cash on the side though.
Small shop woodworking, the way to be. Cost down, make art.
What is the heater you have?
What size is your shed/shop?
that aint tiny man, its positively spacious compared to mine ;0)
Man as high as you are on porter cable (I am too, love em), how do you not own their pocket hole machine? It's miles better than kreg. Check it out. You won't be disappointed in that thing.
I'm planning a workshop build and thought 12x20 was plenty of big.. :( Maybe I need 14x24?? I mean, obviously I don't, you are kicking butt in 12x20..
amazing
Keeping it real, Love it!.
Neat & clean,,,masculine work with feminine hands...keep it up...I am in my 50+,doing manual wood carving,just now brought dremel 4000/45..lil help...👍,see you soon friend...Thanks & Regards...Mahesh from India...
Nice. I bet lot of people out there can relate to your story. Thanks for the cool shop tour. "subscribe".
@5:22,.. any recommendations of low to mid end beer brands?
I like it,,, and you are correct,,, not everyone is rich enough to have a 2,000 sq. ft workshop with all the latest and greatest Powermatic tools. Sometimes I wonder if they even cut a chip or just like to show it off. I have a 13 x 30 woodshop in my basement and have acquired many tools over the years which I'm sure you will expand and grow with age and knowledge also. Ya gotta start somewhere....
Like your shop mine is about same size. Where you keep your lumber and boards? Theyre filling my shop
The lumber rack was mounted to the wall above my spindle sander and miter saw. Anything over 10’ had to be cut in half
Mad Raven Woodworks You can actually see those lumber racks in the beginning of the video. It all looks really nice and tidy. And beside of that it looks a functional shop
Good on you young man I may be older but I always look and buy secondhand tools, when possible as some tools company do think you should always pay a premium price for your tools, well have go at old tools and check the quality with little fix sometime; they are better take care regards Robert
My son and I I love your video was really entertaining and inspiring go work
Thanks!!!
if your jigsaw is dying you need bigger batteries aH.
my hitchi can go for hours with just a 2.5aH battery
HAHAHAHA "if it makes sanding better, get it" Wisdom beyond your years.
Nice!
its takes decades to build up the tool collection, if you have the patience, you can true up most cheap tools to be equal with brand name tool
You got at least one sub in me. I hope things work out for you!
Why the heck does the background behind his head look like a distortion of the matrix?
Haha the only way i could stabilize my jerky GoPro headmount movements was to use youtube's auto-stabilizer. It distorts a lot of things, but in the end it is way smoother than watching the abrupt camera movements during my walkthrough.
great videos and doubt you play for my team. Your very handsome.
Quick easy access to many projects with Stodoys plans.
Yours tools are not that bad, don't sell your self short...
What is going on with your head in this video? It's like warping the space around it. Is freaking me out
Colin McLeod 😂 my software doesn't have auto-stabilizing capability. The gopro head cam footage was insanely shakey so i used youtube's auto-stabilizer. That was my first video so you gotta cut me a break haha won't be doing that again!
Too slow, get to the point
