Hey y'all my name is Doug I have been in the construction business all my life. At this time I do commercial high rise remodel that is why you see so many ladders, lifts, extension cords in the shop. My hobby and passion is wood working, that's what the wood shop area is for. At this time I do not build anything to sell, just for fun and gifts. I sure hope y'all enjoy all the videos. If you have any question i can answer, don't hesitate to ask! I will reply back to EVERYONE.
Thank you from Doug

this is the only shop I've ever seen that I truly believe you could pay your bills just selling tickets for people to tour it.
Wow that is so nice of you my friend thank you thank you. What a unique comment I just love it. I'm so glad you like the shop I truly am .and thank you thank you from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 Lol I just left a reply in the very same direction. Seriously, if there would be ever going to open something like a cathedral dedicated to the woodworking craft, yours should be the place. You look better stocked on some machinery and materials than some serious industrial suppliers here in Germany, while all the furniture and features really make it something ready to worship. Those handles on this other drill press, you made some laminated pieces yourself, right? All this dedication to detail like this and the dedication involved take if from a pure fine equipped workshop to a level bordering the divine. And I say all that even as an electronics dude :)
Fiedel. Thank you my friend thank you so much. Yes my friend I made the drill handles myself. Actually I made everything with berto's help. And you're the best buddy thank you thank you. I don't know about being a cathedral. But I like the way you think. And I appreciate you taking the time to say so my friend thank you again so much from Doug
And you're absolutely correct the attention to detail is what it's all about. I wouldn't have it any other way and thanks my friend
1 million views now.. must be getting some money from that.
I've seen the sun rise on the slopes of the highest Andes mountain and set in the endless Pacific.
I have roamed the holy depths of the Vatican and hiked lengths of the Great Wall of China.
And I have held a newborn and stared into the eyes of my one true love, but never have I beheld a sight such as this workshop.
George's what a wonderful thoughtful kind unbelievable comment you left. How do I describe how do I even begin to answer such a nice deeply thought response. I told a couple of other peoplethat I love the comment so much I was going to frame it and hang it in my office now I have another one I have to print out and frame and hang in my office. I'm so happy you like the video and thank you again from Doug
This looks like a life’s work putting all that stuff together.
Dwight thank you. So very much for taking the time to watch I greatly appreciate it my friend. And yes sir over 20 years of working on and in that shop. And again thank you so much from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 Truly impressive for 1 man's ambition and to imagine that shop actually puts out product 🤯
Adam thank you thank you I'm honored that you watched. Your comment is so kind and thoughtful that's so very nice of you. And yeah I do work in there. I'm just blessed I have Mr Berto to help me keep it clean and thank you thank you from Doug
This guy’s out feed table is nicer than my finest piece of commissioned work.
Justin that is so nice of you buddy thank you my friend. I took a lot of pride in building that. The drawer front was originally going to be a headboard for bed. It was laid out on Baltic Birch but for some reason it worped. so instead of scrapping it after 3 months of work I used it for drawer fronts. I'm so glad you like it buddy thank you so very much. I'm honored from Doug
Ok, you win the nicest workshop on RUclips award! Hands down x10😂👍👍
You could spend an entire video on what in each drawer! Keep up the good work👍
I love it I love it I love it. Thank you so much buddy what a lovely comment you made me smile all over. Thank you my friend thank you. I'll keep the videos coming be safe and have a blessed happy New year from Doug
I'm speechless..
Thank you so very much I'm honored. I've enjoyed watching all your videos and tours very much in the past. And really liked your cabinet pulls also. From Doug in Houston.
That’s a first😂
As a hobbyist in the UK, I thought I was OCD about keeping tidy in my small garage workshop, so this was HEAVEN to me. Congrats to you for what must be the best workshop in the world!!!! No doubt your business success is due to your professionalism clearly shown here, keep safe Regards Tony H
It is like a woodworking museum. I live here in Houston and hope to go tour his shop one day :-) Pretty awesome!!
Thank you Tony that's awesome I'd do my best to keep it neat and clean. but bear in mind it doesn't look that way all the time I work in it every day I just had it cleaned up very nicely for the video. And I'm honored that you liked it thank you so much from Doug
This isn't a woodshop, this is a wood museum, incredible!
Brian thank you thank you. So kind of you I'm so glad you like it sir. And thank you thank you for watching .and for commenting So kindly. Thank you thank you from Doug
Woodseum
Love it thank you thank you very much. From Doug
Brian how are you doing haven't heard from you in a while. I was going through my comments and every time I go through I see yours in a few others that catch my attention but again and again because I really like them. You got 177 thumbs up on your comment. So you're right up there on the top and it always comes up. So I just wanted to reach out and say hello and thank you buddy from Doug
Aside from the most impressive awe inspiring workshop the internet has ever witnessed, I’m equally impressed that you have graciously replied to each of the comments. Some network should do a documentary about you and the wonder you have created.
My friend that is so nice of you thank you what a lovely thing to say . I've been working on that shop for a long time now and in it. And I'm so glad you like the shop my friend . and thank you I try not letting anybody's come and go by I wouldn't want to do that. I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment so I will definitely respond. And thank you my friend thank you so much from Doug
completely agree Doug and his work/ workshop needs to be documented for all to see and aspire to.
John thank you thank you that's such a nice thing to say I'm honored
This is beyond anything i've ever witnessed. Would be a dream to just walk through this shop and look at everything. You should be extremely proud of what you have achieved! If you ever stop working in it, you should turn it in to a museum, i'm very sure ALOT of people would love to witness this masterpiece.
That is so very nice of you and thank you thank you hopefully I never stop working in it it's my pride and joy my Little piece of heaven on Earth. And I'm so glad you like it my friend and I appreciate you reaching out very very much. Thank you thank you from Doug
In 52 minutes you became a RUclips legend.
Thank you David I'll take that as a great big compliment. Your words are so kind I truly appreciate you. The shop is my Little piece of heaven on Earth. From Doug in Houston
52? In the first 5-10 minutes!
You're so kind thank you

Christine hello there young lady how are you doing. thank you thank you so much been working in on that shop for over 25 plus years now. And it's a pleasure and joy to work in there thank you thank you for watching I hope it does blow his mind. Thank you so much from Doug
I've just bought my first house. It comes with a 22x28 heated insulated double garage so I've been trawling through RUclips for inspiration. Many days and many hours, but i am absolutely blown away by your work here. Talk about life goals!
Well done, sir. I am astounded. Struck dumb by the perfect blend of practicality and beauty here. I think I need to up my game. This has been a happy hour.
My friend you made my day. That is so nice of you thank you thank you. That shop is 20 years of my lifetime working in an on it. And I do consider it my little piece of heaven on earth, Thank you my friend thank you so much, I have a couple of questions and answer videos on the channel that goes into more depth on certain issues if you would like. And feel free to reach out anytime if I can help with anything. Thank you so much my friend from Doug
This might just be the best hour of anything I have ever seen on RUclips.
Jake that is so kind of you thank you so much. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video my friend I truly am period that little shop is my pride and joy. I've been working in and on it for over 20 plus years now period and thank you so much for taking the time to comment and say so. Thank you thank you from Doug
I could hold my entire house together with just those clamps.
Thank you JD thank you. You got me smiling. Yeah that's a lot of cramps but believe it or not I do run out of some sizes from time to time. Thank you again from Doug
To top it all off you actually reply to people that make comments you are one of a kind Doug One of a kind God bless you I really wish there was more like you out there
That is so nice of you my friend thank you and of course I would reply. I'm very serious when I say every now and then I get a comment that RUclips won't let me reply to. And I go out of my way to search that person down and see what I can do to reply. I don't know why it happened sometimes but it does. But I'm so glad I'm able to reply to you and thank you thank you so much God bless you my friend. That is so nice of you from Dad
I'm sorry it printed dad before I could correct it. From Doug thank you buddy thank you thank you
I usually don't watch long videos, but I couldn't stop watching. I am scarred for life. This isn't a workshop, it in and of itself, is a work of art. I commend you and your commitment your shop. I will also recognize your obvious work ethic and attention to detail.
JK. I'm glad you did watch the whole thing. I'm sorry for the scarring. But what can I say. That shop is really my pride and joy my friend. I've been working in and on it coming up on 30 years now. We cleaned it up real good before I shot the video. It does get used and worked in every day. And we do do our best to keep it neat and clean. That's the way I really really like it. And you're absolutely right my friend the attention to detail is what makes everything better. thank you buddy thank you a million I hope you enjoy all the videos my friend. From Doug
In 12th Century Italy, Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, later known as 'Francis of Assisi', reportedly said...
"He who works with his hands is a Laborer,
He who works with his hands and his head is a Craftsman,
And he who works with his hands and his head and his heart is an Artist"
Sir, you are undoubtedly an ARTIST! regards, Phil
Phil thank you. And the last two months I've told two people the same thing I'm going to tell you. this is the nicest and most awesome comment I have ever received with all sincerity I am going to print it out frame it and hang it in my office and put your name on. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. my shop is my labor of love my little piece of heaven here on Earth. And I'm so glad you liked it. From Doug your humble servant
@@fleetswoodshop3339 You are most welcome Doug. Stay safe and best wishes.
Likewise to you my friend and thank you very much
yes you mentioned the correct words for the creator of this shop, he is really a artist
Robert thank you so much. From Doug
It's a strange feeling watching a stranger on RUclips and thinking, "I want to be his friend."
The level of detail and organization is beyond me. I'm a newbie in this woodworking hobby, just bought my first circular saw and I think this is the long term goal I want to reach 20 yrs down the line when I have my own shop.
Your shop is great. Even more amazing when I saw your comment that this is not your livelihood, but your passion. That's a lot of investment for something that's not bringing in profit. I love it.
Raphael welcome to the wonderful heavenly world of woodworking my friend.I hope his time goes on you acquire or shop and a passion for the love of it. and hello to a new friend it is always always a pleasure. I can't say thank you enough. I appreciate your kind words and you're absolutely correct it is 100% a passion and a labor of love. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years now. And I consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. Keep working on that goal for the shop. You'll find it to be your happy place I guarantee you. And thank you thank you so much from Doug
Haha, I thought the exact same thing, "will you be my friend Doug" I am a newbie to at 61 years old, about a year and a half now.
That's awesome James thank you thank you I appreciate that very much. From Doug
and 3/4 million to spare.....lol
A little more than that my friend the building by itself was over 2 million. But it's much much bigger than the shop. And thank you buddy thank you so much I appreciate you watching I truly do. And I sure hope you saw something you like thinking use for yourself. From Doug
I will send this video to my friend, he is an artist, and I will write the caption:
Nothing special, just the greatest woodworking workshop you will ever see…
Your shop is a woodworker’s sanctuary. I can’t put into words how impressed I am.
Wish you all the best!
Rom. That is so very nice of you my friend thank you so much. I've spent many many years working in and on that shop. And I'm honored that you're sending it to your friend. And you're right it is a pleasure and a joy working in there. I've got a couple of questions and answer videos on the channel about the shop if you're interested my friend. But more important buddy thank you so much for reaching out that makes it all worthwhile. a million thank you,s from Doug
Some things can't be explained with words.
Absolutely incredible please take absolute pride. One of a kind. Every REAL MANS DREAM.
GOD BLESS YOU.
That is so nice of you to say so thank you thank you my friend that is a kind thing. It's so nice of you to take the time to comment and say such a nice thing I appreciate that. I've been working on it for over 25 plus years now and it's my little piece of heaven on Earth thank you thank you and God bless you. From Doug
I cannot comprehend the amount of time, effort, planning, and money that went into building that shop.
Thank you Craig I'm truly honored that you took the time to look at it my friend and I surely hope you enjoyed the video. It's my pride and joy from Doug in Houston
Whenever my wife tells me I have too many tools and material in my garage workshop, I'm going to show her your video .... !
That's awesome Jr so glad I could help we got to keep those wives under control
And thank you so very much for watching the video I truly hope you enjoyed and found some things you really liked from Doug in Houston
There's no such thing as too many tools😁
my wife says the same thing. "never seen so many tools" My workshop is 3 meters square. Envious
I will do the same.
Hey Doug, just wanted to say how incredible your shop is. Thank you for sharing it with everyone.
Brandon thank you my friend thank you so much I appreciate that I truly do. And I'm honored you took the time to stop and say so buddy that is so kind of you. I hope you enjoyed it. I've been working in and on that shop for over 25 plus years now. And considerate my Little piece of heaven on Earth. I've got a few other videos on the channel about the shop and I hope you enjoy them all and thank you again thank you so much from Doug
It's quite frankly a museum and I am simply a 60-year-old woodworking novice. You are a real student of woodworking and a master woodworker. Stay well.
Philip. Thank you my friend thank you I'm so glad you like my museum. very very nice of you to stop and say so my friend thank you very very much from Doug
Me: No way in hell i’m watching a 53 min shop tour!
Also Me: 53 min later...........Still watching. LOL!
Thank you Adam thank you very much that's extremely unique comment I appreciate that. I hope you saw something you really like and thank you. From Doug
Fleets Wood Shop No problem. I’m in the process of buying a music store and I wish my shop looked like that! I’m in San Antonio would love to swing the shop guys over in the future to see how you operate as still keep everything clean. Thanks for sharing!
Adam thank you so very much anytime you're in Houston please let me know
Waiting for part 2 of 4. Shorter videos with more detail in a series format. It will help with likes and subs.
Watch it at double speed.
I am absolutely blown away by the sheer amount of ingenuity, craftmanship and patience it must have taken to create this masterpiece. It's like a walk-in Studley tool chest, but with with all the modern tools instead. You should be very proud of this workshop, I have never seen anything come close to this. Bravo, sir!
That is so kind of you my friend thank you a million times over what a nice thoughtful comment that makes it all worthwhile. I appreciate that so much my friend I truly do. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years now it's my little piece of heaven on Earth. and thank you again so much Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend a happy blessed new years and stay safe from Doug
Hey my friend I hope you're having a great day. I was going back and looking at some old comments and yours always stood out to me. Just wanted to reach out and say hello and hope you're doing great and thank you again my friend from Doug
This is mindblowing! And even though it took you 20 years to build, you kept a common look and way of designing it, as if you knew what all of it was going to look like from the beginning. Sitting in this workshop after a long working day and just looking at it must be giving peace of mind. Cheers from Germany
Hello my friend and thank you thank you so much, that is so very kind of you. It sure did my friend over 20 years I've been working in and on that shop. And it is truly my little piece of heaven on Earth. And I am honored that you reached out I truly am buddy ,thank you thank you. I have a couple of questions and answer videos about the shop on the channel if you'd like to see them. And if you want some work I've done in there. And you're absolutely correct. Sitting in the shop and having an evening beer before you call it a day. To me is like a moment in heaven. And thank you my friend. I am so glad you reached out buddy have a great great blessed day. From Doug in Texas
This shop is a dream. I would just stay in there until my wife left me and the bank come knocking. Well done sir. You are a Texas treasure.
James my friend that is awesome I love it I love it buddy thank you for making me smile. And what a nice comment too, I'm glad you like the shop my friend I consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. And I appreciate you reaching out I truly do I really like to hear from everyone. Thank you so much, from Doug
Welcome to RUclips, I think you just broke it.
Matthew thank you that's awesome I love it you got me smiling there. So happy you liked the shop and thank you. Doug
I'm somewhat late to the game but this is a pretty heavy and hard to top mikedrop to the "let me show you around my workshop" genre here indeed. Slap in all the fancy CNC stuff and top it with a Kobota, I'll just go and look if you have continuous grain on your drawer faces from now on :)
Few people have so much love for their work and tools. A nice human being.
Thank you Taunter what a lovely nice comment thank you so so very much from Doug
The level of detail you put into every cabinet, drawer, table top, etc. is unbelievable.
Also that may be the largest table saw I’ve ever seen.
This entire video was so impressive. At first I thought there’s no way I’m watching a 50 minute video of a wood shop, but sure enough, I did.
Nick I'm so glad you did watch the whole video. thank you buddy thank you so much been working in and on that shop for coming up on 30 years I think. And yeah that's a pretty big out feed table but boy does it work good. and thank you my friend thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed the video and I hope you found a lot of things you like thinking use for yourself. From Doug
And yes my friend the time spent on the details is what makes it all worthwhile. Many years I assure you. And I'm so glad you like it. Thank you thank you again so much from Doug
Twice
Hey my friend thank you thank you very much. But I don't quite know what you mean by twice. Forgive me I'm a little slow sometimes. If you could explain that would be awesome. But I'm going to go ahead and take it as a great big compliment. And say thank you thank you from Doug
When I die, if I go to heaven and the woodshop doesn't look like this I'll be disappointed...
I hear you my friend I know what you mean I always tell everybody I consider the shop My Little Piece of Heaven on Earth. And thank you my friend thank you so much. If you're interested I've got two or three questions and answer videos where I go into detail about the shop on the channel. But more importantly thank you for reaching out my friend that means a lot to me. From Doug
“Workshop” rated R
Seriously you should sell tickets for guided tours! I’d spend hours just looking at all the fixings and clamps!!
Love your comment my friend that's awesome thank you so very much from Doug
This is the most organized and detailed shop I've ever seen. I'm just thinking about how long you must have planned and dreamt of having your own set up like this. Happy to see it all done!
Jordan that's so kind of you. And yes my friend I've been working on it for over 20 years. And you are so so very kind to say so and I'm honored by that sir. I sure hope you enjoyed and I'll do my best to keep more coming and thank you again from Doug
Hello there my friend how are you doing. I was just going back and reading some old comments. And yours really stood out to me. So I just wanted to reach out and say howdy and hope you're doing great. And thank you buddy thank you so much again from Doug
A true work of art. One can see the passion for your craft everywhere in your shop, it's truly amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video, and I'll take inspiration from your shop once I can start building my own, so many great ideas to be learned from. I've spent an hour here reading many of the answers you've given to everyone that has reached out. Almost 10 000 comments, and you've answered every single comment even years after posting this video... there is a lesson to be learned in that. Just wow. Love the dedication. from Gabriel
Gabriel Hello there my friend hello. What a lovely beautiful comment thank you so very much. I'm so glad you like to shop my friend. It's my pride enjoy it truly is. I'm glad to hear you starting to work on your own shop and I hope you found many things you can use in the video. I can't tell you how much joy one can get from working in a shop that they really like and have built with their own hands. And it really helps if you're a neat freak LOL. If I can ever answer any questions don't ever hesitate to ask my friend. Let me know where you're reaching out from if you get a chance, Meaning where do you live, I'm in Houston. Great to hear from you buddy from Doug
My Grandpa once retired kept a shop clean like that when I was a little tike. This is a dream-shop though and not a museum or "wood shop". An oh, what a wonderful dream! I hope you have descendants who can love and appreciate it as you do - this deserves at least several more generations.
PS: It also deserves a state of the art alarm system as the USA continues to grow a little more perilous with each passing year.
Thank you my friend thank you so much for reaching out. I really appreciate that I truly do. And I'm so happy to hear about your grandfather my friend. I hope it brought back a memory or two. We work in that shop everyday. But I guess I'm blessed I have Mister Berto to help me keep it nice and clean an organized cuz that's the way I like to keep it. It's such a joy to be able to work on a project and just walk away and come right back to it. And always very good on the security and my friend that's like Fort Knox. Where I live is a great part of Houston we don't have much of a crime problem at all. But more importantly and most of all thank you thank you so much for reaching out I'm honored. If you're interested I have a couple of question-and-answer videos on the channel That Go more in-depth about areas of the shop. But most of all my friend thank you thank you so much from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 I've been living in Japan as an "x-pat" for the past 40 years so a shop like yours is a dream. I live in a 3 bedroom apartment where the walls would be separated by those paper-lathed doors you see in culture photos. So that two of the rooms are conjoined and have been turned into a mini wood shop. I'm sure my neighbors appreciate that I seek out only the most efficient low-powered (low noise) equipment. :) Lots of Japanese old-timey hand tools are used in that regard (slightly over 2,000 hand tools).
My Grandpa (born on a ND farm in the 1800's) donated a lot of time to training and teaching me the wood working skills I now love to indulge! It's a great hobby for me when I'm not developing games or modeling and rigging game characters on contract - keeps me sane. :)
I like watching technique and tutorial videos as well as Show & Tells and yours are some of the best!
I appreciate it and please keep up the good work. Could you direct link to some of the QA videos you mentioned above?
Thanks again!
Hello my friend hello how are you doing. I am so very sorry the question.and the comment you sent out two weeks ago for some reason was put in my held for review section. And I don't have no clue why my friend. I've been many places in Asia but I haven't made it to Japan yet but I sure hope to one day. And it's great to hear about your grandfather I learned so much from mine also. And thank you my friend thank you. I'm no good at putting links. Just get on any of my videos and click the wood carving logo. On RUclips they call that your icon. And that will open my channel. Then just click on videos and they will all be there. And again my friend I am so sorry I'm just seeing this I don't know why I was blocked from seeing it. And thank you buddy thank you so much from Doug
Looks like someone built a workshop right in the middle of one of the highest end hardware stores on the planet!
THANK YOU QUIXOTIC .I TRULY HOPE YOU INJOYED THE TOUR.YES IM WELL STOCKED UP. LOL FROM DOUG IN HOUSTON
The Bass Pro of woodworking shops.
Hahaha. You said that very well.
Same as my thoughts.
Unbelievable workshop. Beyond imagination.
Yes. For the first 15 minutes. I thought this fellow was giving me a tour of Home Depot. Then I realized. Wait a minute. Home Depot doesn’t have that many tools or that organized. 😂😂😂😂
@@Torontodude20000 Or that high quality either.
This whole shop is just a giant Studley Toolbox, absolutely magnificent👌👌
Todd thank you thank you. That's so nice of you my friend I appreciate that very much. I'm a very big fan of studley's toolbox. I've actually seen it in person years back. And thank you my friend thank you I'm so glad you liked it from Doug
That's awesome my friend thanks and thank you I appreciate that so much. I truly do I can't thank you enough for taking the time to say so. From Doug
WOW! I am FLOORED. This is the most beautiful shop I've ever seen. The level of craftsmanship required to accomplish this--both aesthetically and functionally--is phenomenal!! Thank you for taking the time to share this!
Hello there my friend how are you doing. That is so kind of you. Thank you so so much for reaching out that makes it all worthwhile. I'm glad to hear you like the shop. And you're right it took 30 years working in and on that shop to get it there. And it's my little piece of heaven on earth. I sure hope you found a few ideas you could use for yourself and thank you buddy thank you so much from Doug
Howdy Doug your passion shows in your beautiful space you created. It is truly a piece of art. Very inspirational and broke the upper limits of quality and craftsmanship I had imagined one can put into a shop.
Donald. My friend thank you thank you so much. That shop is my passion my little piece of heaven on earth. I've been working in and on it for over 25 years now. I wish I could spend every minute of every day in there. But unfortunately I still have to work for a living.lol. I'm so glad you liked the shop I truly am . I've got a couple of questions and answers videos that go more into detail of the shop on the channel if you're interested. But most of all thank you my friend I'm so glad you reached out it's so nice to hear from you. From Doug

@@fleetswoodshop3339 i mean i share Andrew's feellings 😉
Pablo. Thank you for explaining my friend sometimes I can be a bonehead
I wish I could accomplished 1% of what you have shared with the community. Thank you for sharing and giving some of us the inspiration to be a better woodworker.
Love the piano
Hello and thank you so very much. I'm truly honored. That you injoyed.
This is insane! I never even thought such shop could exist. I love the detail and crowns on the lathe!!
Andrei. Thank you my friend thank you so much. It does exist. I've been working in and on that shop for over 25 plus years now. and I sure hope you like the video and maybe saw some things you could use for yourself my friend. Thank you very much. I consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. And wouldn't have it any other way. And thank you buddy thank you thank you from Doug
I have no words to describe this shop! I can only imagine that this is a close rendition to Joseph's shop in Heaven! The wood cabinetry is stunning! A sampling testament of true master craftsman. Even the piano music sets the tone that we are watching one of the greatest movies of all time!
Chris so nice to meet you buddy how are you doing. And thank you my friend thank you so much. I've been working in and on that shop for coming up on close to 30 years now. And you're absolutely right I consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. What a nice comment my friend thank you thank you. I've got a couple of questions and answer videos on the channel going to more detail about the shop. If you'd like to see them. And I'm so glad you like the piano music I loved it too. Thank you my friend thank you so much I hope you enjoyed the video and saw some things you could use. Ideas that is. And if I can ever answer any question please don't ever hesitate to ask thank you my friend so much from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 We inherited a wood/metal/auto shop that is very disorganized. I was searching for organized shop and happened to see your video. I am so glad yours finally popped into my options. I am completed overwhelmed on where to start. For one, I want to give thanks to my father-in-law for leaving behind a wonderful shop. Enhancing what is there will be a tribute. And, I need it to be organized and function for us. It will be a daunting task. You have given us some many ideas and a dream of what we could do with the space. Thank you so much, as well. My Father used to say, "Your space is a representation of your brain and heart. If it is cluttered, dark, and dirty, well, nobody wants to be around that. Classy, unique, organized, and clean, then people will hang out and you will never be without friends." Sir, my Father (he passed some years ago) and you would have been best friends. He was a metal worker and made some incredible designs. I would have loved to see you two in a shop for a weekend.
Chris that is a wonderful story buddy. It sounds like your father was a very smart man I would have loved to have met him. I've had several people visit the shop that never wanted to leave. I don't know where you're at but if you're ever in Houston Texas you look me up my friend. It would be an honor to show you around. When you get a chance if you would like to shoot me some pictures of the shop as you progress with it I would love to see them. My email is in the show more section of any of my videos. And I hope you find a lot of useful organizing tips I truly do. And what a pleasure it is chatting with you. Thank you my friend from Doug.
They say “always bigger in Texas”. He built that motto.
That's awesome my friend thank you . I'm so glad you took the time to watch and I sure hope you enjoyed the video. And thank you again I love your humor from Doug
I love how well organized everything is along with the background music. Everything says sophisticated and professional.
Thank you thank you so much that's so nice of you. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video of the shop. It's my little pride and joy my peace of heaven on Earth. and thank you thank you so much for watching and taking the time to say so. From Doug
It feels as if you never had to work against time. How wonderful all the work you put into that workshop. Lucky those who will enjoy your legacy.
That's a kind of you my friend I love your comment thank you. I hope it sticks around a while I've been working in and on that shop for over 25 plus years now. And thank you thank you so much again buddy from Doug
If there was anyone considered above a 'master of his class', this guy is it!
My friend I'm honored thank you thank you so much. I appreciate that that is so nice of you. If you don't mind and you get a minute I did a four-part series on a peacock build of a table I'd love to hear your thoughts on it it's on my channel. Only if you don't mind and get a minute. And thank you thank you so much from Doug
When I dream of a wood shop with lottery winnings, this is generally what my imagination creates. Very nice.
Thank you so very much Chris I love your kind words. I'm thrilled that you enjoyed the video and I truly hope you liked it and saw something you really liked. From Doug in Houston
Even if I won the lottery I can't imagine mine would be half as nice as this.
@@mobspeak don't cut yourself short in my friend you can do anything you put your mind to and thank you so very much
I'm speechless and have so much to say at the same time! I'm not going to lie, I got a bit emotional watching this. Reminds me of my grandfather. It feels as if this video is the last of its kind! You are truly one of a kind, my friend! What you've done by sharing this has brought so many dreams from all the men and women that do woodwork to life! You didn't just show us your shop, you shared your entire life with us! I can see your passion in every square inch and corner of this shop! I want to hang a picture up in my workshop with the title that read "The man who showed us is heart through his craft!" Seriously! This is absolutely the most amazing shop I have ever seen!
My gosh that is so kind of you what a lovely comment. I'm overwhelmed with happiness that you liked and enjoyed the shop that much. And you can appreciate. The work in the detailing it went into building that shop. It took me over 20 years. It's my pride and joy my Little piece of heaven on Earth. I sincerely wish I knew your name. Because I'm going to print out your response and hang it on the wall in my office. Thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart from Doug
@@fleetswoodshop3339 My name is Chris Tarin. Your devotion to the craft hasn't gone unnoticed. Thank you!
Chris thank you thank you so much that is so kind of you to say so I'm so glad you liked it. And thank you again from Doug
As a woodworker for the last 40 years all I can say is WOW. INCREDIBLE. very nice
Bruce that is so nice of you my friend thank you. I've been working in and on that shop for about 25 years now. And it's my happiest place on earth. And thank you buddy thank you so very much. If you're interested my friend I have a couple of question and answer videos on the channel about the shop. But mostly thank you my friend from Doug
Wood shop ? A little bit of understatement there....this is more like a museum of woodworking tools👌
Thank you so much I'm so glad you like the shop. It's not a museum yet it's just got a lot of old tools displayed in it. maybe they'll make it a museum when I'm gone but we'll have to wait and see about that. And thank you so much from Doug
I didn't see your post before I posted, but I thoughy the exact same thing. With the piano playing in the background it really seemed an amazing museum of wood working!
No worries at all. I appreciate it so much I truly do. From Doug
Yeah he can start making paid sessions for woodworking guys
😃😃
This guy has never once said “that’s good enough” in his life.
Thank you my friend thank you so much.. and you got that absolutely correct my friend. Sometimes I think it's a curse. I'll build something I need in the shop and two years later I'm still adding to it. Thank you so much for watching my friend thank you thank you. I'm honored I truly am I appreciate it. And thank you again buddy from Doug
Hey there my friend how are you doing. Please forgive me for just popping in. But every time I'm going through the comments yours is one of the top comments. You got 172 thumbs up. And I just love it. Hope you're doing well and staying safe my friend and just wanted to pop in and say hello. From Doug
This is the most efficient and optimized workshop I have ever seen. Thank you for showing the operation of all the drawers and nooks and crannies.
Hey my friend thank you thank you so very much I've been working in and on that shop for coming up on 30 years now. And I wouldn't have it any other way my friend. I've got a couple of question-and-answer videos on the channel That Go in-depth about some areas. Some of my favorite things that is. But more importantly thank you so much my friend I sure hope you found some things you liked and could use for yourself. From Doug
Well done Doug! This is absolutely stunning. Gives us all something to aspire too. I can only imagine how many hours went into planning the layout...Then building custom cabinets for everything as well. Unreal! I think it is so neat all the memorabilia that is throughout the office and shop. Looks like you have great taste in music too! 👍
Tru. That is so kind of you thank you thank you so much. Yes a whole lot of work went in there. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years now. I had to build it in three phases as I could get the space. and had and still having tons of fun there I can sit her my Little piece of heaven on Earth. I have two other videos on the channel that are question and answer videos about the shop if you'd like to see them. But more importantly thank you again your comment was so nice and kind I truly truly appreciate that my friend from Doug
That is the cleanest wood shop with NO DUST I've ever witnessed.
Thank you but believe me it's not always clean I just had it cleaned up real well for the video. But I do try and make a practice to keep it as clean as I can it does get worked in every day. Thank you so much for watching I greatly appreciate it from Doug
The most beautiful wood shop I’ve ever seen. I would love to visit.
Mike that is so nice and thoughtful of you thank you my friend I'm so glad you like the shop I've been working in and on creating that shop for the last 20 plus years. And it's my little piece of heaven on Earth. You are welcome to visit anytime. And thank you so much for taking the time to comment and say so that means so much to me it truly does. I did two other question and answer videos on the shop that might interest you. if you like the shop I go into some details on some particular things and they're on my channel out there. And again thank you thank you thank you it means the world to me my friend p.s if you don't mind me asking where do you live. From Doug
I’m speechless!! Your shop is by far the most incredible and inspirational wood shop I have ever seen. I spend countless hours in my shop and after viewing yours I am just bursting with enthusiasm to get back out to it. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Cliff that is so nice and kind of you what a pleasant thing to say. From the bottom of my heart thank you my friend. It's so nice to hear such kind words it truly is. I'm so glad you like the shop I truly do it's my pride and joy and my happy place. And I'm so glad to hear you have a shop and going to go work at it that is awesome. That makes it all worthwhile and thank you thank you so much from Doug
Doug I’ve gotta come back to comment on this twice. It honestly blows anything I’ve ever seen on RUclips away. I’ve spent two years building my own shop now. If I had 50 years more it still wouldn’t come anywhere as close to this. Absolutely incredible. I can only imagine you have 50 full time minions to polish the place down every week. Real labour of love. Just subscribed. God bless
Paul I am honored my friend thank you thank you. What a nice thing to say my friend. I've spent 25 years working in and on that shop. Had to build it in three phases as I could get the space. when I first bought the building there was a tenant in there so I had to wait about a year before I could get started. And literally that was a little over 25 years ago. I've built so many projects in there I've lost count. but when I made something for the shop I just couldn't stop until I had it looking awesome. It's the way that makes me happy and I am thrilled and honored to know you like it my friend. I've got a couple of questions and answer videos on the channel and a few of the projects I've done. I never really even considered doing RUclips. Until we found out the coronavirus hit and I found myself with a little spare time. Over the years so many people have told me to do a video on the shop but I just never ever had the time. And I'm glad I did so many wonderful folks like yourself have said they like it and found ideas they could use for themselves and that just makes me so happy. And thank you for the subscription buddy I am honored truly honored and I mean that. That means the world to me that you like it and think enough to do so. Thank you my friend thank you from Doug
I thought the Studley tool chest was the best thing id ever seen , that was until I watched this.
My Grandfather was an Cabinet Maker of rare talent and thanks to him I followed in the trade, we shared a special bond.. the love of timber, tools and fine workmanship and I just like he did I can't walk past a piece of timber without running my hand across it. He was a man with a critical eye, and if he was here now and watched this I know he'd be lost for words just as I am.
You Sir are an inspiration to all that love working with timber.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, every second I watched this I thought of my Grandfather.
Trevor thank you so much for watching I am honored. Sincerely truly honored by your words. I'm so happy to hear about the relationship you and your grandfather had that's so nice. And I truly understand the passion of the love for woodworking. Can grow with you and on you and change your life. and again I can't say thank you enough that's such a nice thing to say. and to know that your grandfather helped mold the path of your life.none of my family was into woodworking at all except one uncle. But I didn't get to see him that much. Again that's so nice to know .don't ever change to stay the same you're awesome and thank you so much again from Doug
A place for everything and everything in its place. The most mind-blowing shop I've ever seen by a mile.
That is so nice to you my friend thank you so so much I appreciate you taking the time to say so. From Doug
Here I am, watching this one hour video again. And loving it.
Vincent. That's so kind of you sir that is awesome you've got me smiling my friend. I'm so glad you like it. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years now. And thank you thank you so much from Doug
this is so aggravating to watch........ I can fully comprehend just how hard this place was to build and how far away I am of getting my workshop anywhere near this. absolutely freakin amazing
CLIFF.good to hear from you my friend how are you doing. That is so kind of you to reach out my friend thank you thank you so much. It's been a 25-year process of working in and on that shop. And I consider it my favorite place on Earth. And I'm so glad you like it my friend I truly truly am. I've got two or three question and answer videos on the channel to go more in-depth about certain things in the shop if you'd like to see them. But more important thank you so much for reaching out buddy. And I hope you find some great ideas and thoughts you can use for yourself. From Doug
What an absolute delight it was while looking through your shop. I've been saving up to start my own thing but then covid came and decimated my savings for it. But seeing all the meticulous detail you've put into your shop has really been inspiring for what I'd like in my dream shop, and just thinking about it is really motivating. So I wanted to say thanks for sharing this.
Jay my friend is so good to hear from you thank you thank you I am honored. I'm so glad you like the shop I truly am. I consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years now. And it is a true Joy just going there everyday. And I hope with all my heart my friend that you get the same I truly do. And thank you for taking the time to comment and say so that means the world to me. I appreciate that so very much and thank you again from Doug
I think the only thing more impressive than your shop is the fact that you have left a heartfelt response to every single comment on this video. I'm not crying, you're crying.
That is so kind of you and notice and say so. That really shows what a kind great person you are. Thank you so much I truly truly appreciate that. And you made me smile. And thank you again my friend from Doug
Please adopt me Sir! Been watching this wonderful workshop 4 times now and still finding new jawbreaking things everytime i watch this :)
You are awesome my friend thank you thank you so much you can move in anytime. I appreciate you I truly do I can't tell you how much it means to me it really does. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years now and consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. And I am honored you like it my friend I truly am. I hope you enjoy I truly do and I have two question and answer videos on the channel about the shop also. But more importantly my friend a million thank yous and I hope you find many things you can use in your own shop. Thank you so much from Doug
I want to shake your hand......then give you the manliest bearhug you've ever had. I.....I dont even know where to begin describing how awesome this your shop is. I could kick myself in the ass for all the time I wasted over the years not working towards having for myself what you have accomplished!!!!!! Simply awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Steve that is so nice of you buddy I appreciate all the smile there my friend. no need to do all that kicking but I do understand what you mean. Just get started on it. I've been working in and on that shop for coming up on 30 years now. it is truly truly my little piece of heaven on Earth my friend. And I'm so glad you found it to be nice I really love it neat and organized. With that said we do work in that shop every day. It gets very very dirty. We spent two weeks cleaning it before I shot this video. There's a couple other videos on the channel that are question and answer videos about the shop if you'd be interested. But more importantly Steven thank you thank you buddy thank you so much. It's so nice to hear such kind words. From Doug
OMG... I've never seen anything like this, AWESOME!
Thank you thank you so much that's so kind of you. I'm so glad you liked it I truly am it's been my pride and joy. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 years now. And thank you thank you from Doug
Hey Doug from Sydney Australia can I just say your “shop” is outstanding. No actually it is amazing, the attention to detail warms my heart, you should be immensely proud of your achievements
please having now shared your off the charts shop with us, now share your skills and knowledge, tips techniques and tricks. I look forward to being entertained but mostly educated. OUTSTANDING. Thanks again.
thank you so very much my friend I love Sydney Australia. I was there last year and actually took in an opera and then the long river tour had a wonderful time. Even got to go out back for a few minutes and see a couple of dinghies. thank you so very much for your lovely comments and stuff I just started making the video when is coronavirus came around I finally had the time but in the future I will be making videos of some of my projects and thank you so very much from Doug in Houston
@@fleetswoodshop3339 Please make completely off-the-cuff videos about the thought process behind it all, and how you think through a problem or project. That's where the real meat of it lies. I design things in a very similar way, and it's so intensely satisfying to see someone who actually goes through with it, and has the means to do it the right way. There's tremendous potential here.
(And you don't need to take 57 tries to nail something. That's how folks wanting to start youtubing shoot themselves in the foot and exhaust themselves right out of it, before they ever get going. Natural and sincere is the way. Thanks a lot.)
Fubar thank you so very much that's very well-thought-out and we'll put and I greatly appreciate it. I truly do appreciate your input and I can't say thank you enough you're too kind from Doug
Genuinely impressive. I really don't know how to put it into words better than that. I could never be that organized, but what really stands out to me is how you took the time to do all the inlay and marquetry around the place. That's the kind of craftsmanship that I always point out to people, what I call "art in the everyday", and what I think all of us craftsmen should try hard to incorporate into our workspaces. It's one thing to be functional, but quite another to turn your workshop into a shrine to the craftsman's abilities. Kudos, sir, for a job well done. This video will undoubtedly inspire many young fellows who are just starting out on their paths.
Hey there my friend thank you so much I haven't heard such an inspiring thoughtful kind comment and such a long time. It means so much to me that you would take the time. Thank you my friend thank you. And I couldn't agree with you more. I love a beautiful shop I always have. Been working in and on that shop for over 26 years now. And I truly do consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. And a million thank you my friend and you're right I hope it inspires a lot of people. Thank you thank you thank you so much from Doug
I was already amazed at the “work bench”, then you pointed out the grain match around. Wow!
And of course foam cut-out. That’s a must have. I’m not just a bit envious, but in awwwwwwwwe.
Hey there my friend thank you thank you. Bench is one of my pride and joys. And I'm so glad you like it. And thank you. I've been working in and on that shop for a very long time. And wouldn't have it any other way and thank you thank you from Doug
Doug, this is absolutely Amazing! As someone who is constantly re-arranging my garage to make my small shop more organized and usable, this is truly an inspiration. I'm definitely taking some ideas from you. Oh, and I also just want to open and look through every single drawer in there!
Scott thank you so much it's so nice to hear from someone who appreciates neatness and organization. I truly do I couldn't have it any other way. I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 years. And I do like to keep it neat and clean and I'm blessed to have help keeping it neet and clean. and I'll do you a favor I'll do a shop tour take to with showing more details and open drawers. And thank you again so much from Doug
That shop is absolutely amazing! I’m sure 99.9% of blokes that have watched your video wished they had more time, money and space at their disposal- I know I do!
Keep up the good work- you’re an inspiration!👍🏻

You show your passion and even improve our health :).
Congratulations and a hug from Portugal

Victor that is so nice of you my friend thank you thank you I've been working in and on that shop for over 30 years. And considerate my Little piece of heaven on Earth thank you my friend so very much from Doug
Absolutely the most incredible wood shop I have ever layed my eyes upon. Great work!!! 👏
Oh my God thank you my friend thank you that is so kind of you. and thank you so much for taking the time to come and say so that means so much to me. From Doug
Wow Doug! Thank you for sharing this with us.
I'm a younger guy (twenty one) who just got a job at a sawmill, learning the ropes of equipment and different wood related tools. I'm starting to grow passionate about tools, even though I don't know all of their technical names or uses. I was hand pumping grease on a massive planer manually before I used the companies 'milwaukee grease gun' with the fancy dial knob. That's when I sparked my love for tools. It was so cool and it made my life a lot easier. When it comes to tools, I'm trying my best to learn but it's difficult at times; especially when your coworkers with construction experience (aged 45+ y/o) expect you to have extensive knowledge on various bolt sizes and whatnot. They'll tell me to grab a tool, and I have no idea what it even is. Either way, I've been daydreaming about owning my own house/garage with a workbench, hand tools, miter saws, sanding belts, etc ever since I've begun my millwright training. Then I go online and find videos like this... And I'm beyond speechless. It truly does look like your own personal heaven. I wish I could just go around and look at your shop with my own eyes in person. Maybe one day I can afford even a fraction of your collection... I don't own anything yet but i'll get there :)
I also love the piano and elegance of this video. You earned a sub from me! Lots of love. And judging from your replies you are a very nice and kind person so I am happy that you are successful and doing what you love.
-Ethan
Ethan. That is so nice of you my friend I'm so glad to hear you like the shop. And especially nice to hear about your passion into the woodworking. I bet you'll have a lot of fun working at that mill. and everything just takes a little time I've been working in and on that shop for over 20 plus years. Now and it all takes time just work at it you'll get there I know you can. And thank you I'm honored that you watched and took the time to comment. Thank you thank you from Doug
Anyone that gave you a thumbs down is a complete and utter fool!! The most amazing thing I have ever seen literally in 62 years of life. I’m a passionate wood worker but you sir are my new hero. You should charge admission to see that shop. I would pay big money to get in there and I would spend as much time in there as I possibly could to gather it all In. Mind blown!!!!!! Seriously!!!!
Scott my friend I am honored truly and sincerely honored. What a lovely and kind comment. I can't say thank you enough my friend. it is so good and such a pleasure to hear from someone so nice and thoughtful who can appreciate a nice good looking working environment. I can't say thank you enough I truly can't. I've been a carpenter all my life to started the track homes and cabinets and crown mold and stairways and all that good stuff. Nowadays all I do is remodel high-rise office buildings. That's why you see so many ladders and extension cords and that room for tools it can be taken out to the job site. the two areas of the woodshop are my personal wood shop and they are my pride and joy. I've been working in and on them for over 20 plus years now. I have a couple of questions and answer videos on the channel that I think you might enjoy I go into more detail on certain things. But more importantly and most of all wow just wow what a lovely comment. You are welcome to come visit in person anytime I'll even put you to work. just be aware we spent two weeks cleaning and detailing the shop to look very very nice before I shot the video. Like all shops it does get very dirty. But with that said I do my very best to keep it neat and clean cuz that's the way I really like it. And I have to agree with you I don't know why the thumbs down I would think anyone would find something in there they liked and could use for themself but you never know it's all good. and I'm very serious you're welcome to come visit anytime I'm in Houston. and from the bottom of my heart my friend a million thank yous from Doug
I am truly honored that you would respond to me and in such a quick manner. I cannot tell you the kind of joy that that brought me. You are at the pinnacle of your profession and I simply don’t have words to properly express how much it moved me. Your reply to me literally brought tears to my eyes and I thank you again. If you fly fish by chance or want to try it my mobility is less than what it used to be but I could guide and outfit you on the San Juan river in North west New Mexico which is world-famous. I’m not a paid guide but I could easily be so. I don’t know what else I could offer you that would be more from my heart than that but it would be an honor just to meet you. I might just try to make a trip to Houston just come and see you and that shop. Once this Covid thing mellows out hopefully. That is on my bucket list now you can guarantee it. I could go on and on. I’m just blown away. Thank you for what you do and what you’ve done. I’m sending this video to everyone I know and hopefully they spread it to everyone they know. That’s what I’m telling them. Thank you again you have made my day my week my month. I needed to see that.
Oh yes and I was first introduced to that video on Maker’s Playground, Izzy Swan’s brain child app. You are going to blow up my friend. Izzy is another wood working genius
Scott again that is so nice of you. You made my day also my friend. I've never been much of a fisherman although I was born in New Orleans. Lived in the French quarter. My parents had a seafood restaurant there and a shrimp boat. And as a young kid I work that. But somehow the fishing thing didn't stick with me. All I seem to want to do is work and fix the boat. And I am so glad it made you happy I am beyond glad and yes my friend absolutely anytime you plan on making a trip down this way don't hesitate to let me know for one second. I can show you a lot more than just the shop. And it would be my honor. If you go to the show more section underneath the video and click on that my email address is there. When you get a chance shoot me an email. And thank you again my friend thank you thank you from Doug
Thank you my friend thank you I'll see if I can find that on RUclips that would be awesome I'll check it out. Let me check right now and thank you again so much
Lol. That's brilliant! When I started watching, I thought I'd watch a few minutes of it; with all the rewinding and watching bits over again, I probably spent two hours watching it. It's funny, people who are messy say they wish they could be more organized; people who are well organized say they wish they could be more messy. Lol. We all need to learn to be happy with who we are. You do you - you're doing a fantastic job of it! Great video!
Steve I am so honored my friend thank you thank you so much that is such a nice thing to say and you are absolutely correct my friend I appreciate that buddy I truly do. I've got to keep it organized it's my only way to fly and thank you my friend and thank you you made me smile from Doug
Absolutely speechless!!! So organized and clean, and thought through! Wow!!!
Nick thank you so much that is so kind of you. I'm so happy you took the time to watch and even more so that you enjoyed the shop. I appreciate that very much and I'll do my best to keep some nice stuff coming. And thank you thank you from Doug
This is the single most impressive display of craftsmanship I’ve ever seen. I seriously doubt I will see such attention to detail again in my life and I very much appreciate you sharing your craft with us. Bravo, sir!
Such a nice comment you're so kind thank you thank you. it means a lot to me to be very detailed and neat so I appreciate you enjoying it and thank you again from Doug
If my father-in-law was still alive - I would drive him to Houston tomorrow and knock on Fleets door. He immigrated to US from Macedonia and was a magician with wood work. He would have marveled at this beautiful work space - and he was a huge John Wayne fan. Thank you for sharing this!
Thank you my friend thank you so very much what a lovely lovely comment. It would bend my honor to show him around it truly would. I feel like saying that 10 times but I won't. Thank you so much for letting me know. You could come by and see it anytime for him. A million thank you from Doug I am honored
Amazing!👍👍❤ I've been around the block starting as an apprentice tool an die maker in '73...and lots since, but have never seen such a masterpiece of a shop. Thanks for sharing!
John thank you buddy thank you so very much. I'm so sorry it took me so long to respond my friend I've been a little busy. That is so kind of you thank you I'm so glad you like the shop it's my little pride and joy and thank you again from Doug

In JESUS' name!!!
Amen he said
"YOU'LL LOVE IT!" indeed. I absolutely love it! What a genius level of use of space. My first thought was it looks cramped, but it really isn't. In this shop you aren't wasting time moving from machine to machine. Everything is just so perfectly organized. I can't say enough positive comments. I could go on and on. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this video. I will be sharing this with all of my handyman friends.
My friend you were too kind what a lovely wonderful comment and things to say. Thank you so much. And yes you are absolutely correct the video does make it look a little cramped but it's not at all. All the space you need to work from tool to tool is there without any space wasted. Thank you so much for noticing that and pointing it out that means so much to me. And thank you for taking the time to watch and comment that makes it all worthwhile thank you so much from Doug
My grandfather had a nice wood shop, and today I have his antique hand tools on display in my home shop. But after seeing this... I only thought I had a shop!!!! I'm inspired to keep improving!
Andrew I'm so glad to hear about your shop buddy that is wonderful. I know what you mean I love to display the tools. They inspire me motivate me and they look nice there too. And thank you for taking the time to comment I can't tell you how much I appreciate that it's so nice to hear from you and from everyone. Thank you buddy thank you so much from Doug
@Fleets Wood Shop... Sir you have the most amazing shop I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. Your shop is, in my mind, the gold standard by which all should be measured.
That is so kind of you thank you sir thank you so much. I consider it my little piece of heaven on Earth. I've been working in and on the shop now for over 25 plus years. And it makes everything worthwhile when I hear such lovely things like you said. You are awesome my friend awesome and thank you thank you from Doug
I can only dream of a shop like that love it!!!
Lawrence that's so kind of you. I'm so happy that you took the time to watch and I'm truly honored that you did. And thank you again so much from Doug
This is one of the most remarkable things I've ever seen. You are an inspiration Doug!
Thank you sean I'm so happy that you like the tour and the shop. It's my Little piece of heaven my. On Earth. Thank you so very much from Doug in Houston
Thank you so very much Pat
This is almost unbelievable. My wife was showing me parts of this video the other day, but I didn't have the time to watch it with her. It's like you combined every tool from every hardware store and Home Depot with a meticulous accountant's sense of organization and filing and a librarian's sense of space. I have no more words.
I'm glad you got to finish watching it my friend I truly am. Thank you thank you so much such a nice comment I appreciate that. It's good to hear it makes it all worth while. And a million thank you from Doug and I hope you enjoy all the videos. Thank you again my friend so much
This guy walks into Home Depot like Norm walks into Cheers. He gets a personal assistant. Never have I ever seen such a magnificent wood shop. Says so much about the quality of man you are. You’ve earned the right to run a master class sir. I’m deeply humbled by the beauty of your OCD. YOU are truly the wood shop king. It’s really inspiring to know something like this exists. Thank you so much for sharing.
Brian that is so kind of you my friend I appreciate your comments you made me smile mentioning cheers. One of my favorite shows I must say. and I'm so glad you can appreciate the cleanliness and organization of a workplace I wouldn't have it any other way my friend. I have been working in and on that shop for over 25 plus years. And believe me it does get used and get dirty. But with that said we do our best to keep it neat and clean. And very well organized. Again my friend thank you thank you that is so kind of you watching even more so to leave such a thoughtful comment thank you thank you from Doug
