Rob this is a nice “Personal shop” just one concern I see, we made a mistake in a couple of y joints in our dust collection that weren’t noticed until we began really producing shavings off of a shaper and planer, the error was putting the y on the bottom of the trunk for our wide belt sander and a y on the bottom for a CNC shaper, the problem we had was our 24” planer is up stream from sander and 2- delta shapers up stream from CNC shaper, shavings from planer would drop down and fill up pipe to sander and the 2- deltas when running cabinet door sticks would drop shavings into pipe for CNC shaper, ultimately plugging them, we’ve re-done them since and came off sides of trunk line, you may not have this issue but just a heads up on your table saw collection being down stream of your planer and possibly your disk sander!
Are you going to keep the clamp cart? I would have thought in the smaller shop that the floor space was more valuable than the short walk to a wall mounted rack.
Impressive new shop Rob. It looks as though you have lots of room between your bench and the rest of the equipment for Frick and the crew on Saturday nights.
Great tour & thought provoking. I've only 20'x9' available (typical UK garage) & the biggest problem is siting my table saw, as apart from regular cutting, I use it to break down 8x4 sheet material (ply & mdf mostly). I guess selling the motorcycle I've not used since 2004 might help...
Well I have to say...it is a masterful shop for a shop master! It's only in the doing that we learn how to do it better...this shop is the culmination of years of doing and learning what works and how you want it to work...for you! Looking forward to more of your inspiring videos coming from "your space "...( with the occasional peak back in the other side).. Really...what a blast!! Congratulations!
It's super sad that General is all over seas. Did you repaint all your machines? I like color coordination even when they are different brands. Nice looking shop.
Man when you went through the process of the steps you would take to mill down a rough piece of lumber, I can now start to see how you could make money building furniture. When I mill my lumber up (in my small shop) I have to drag everything out and put it away. Planer/Jointer/Tablesaw/Bandsaw. Set up saw horses outside to cut pieces that are longer than 10 foot with a circular saw. You can do it in the snap of a finger. What a joy that must be! By the way I NEED that beautiful Rockwell jointer.
When you describe the timber as having 2 parallel, dressed faces with edges to match is referred to as DAR or "dressed all round" on the Australian eastern seaboard.
So exciting to see the new shop! Thanks for all the GREAT TIPS! No one presents such honest and real quality woodworking information better than you and your family! We are so lucky and blessed to have you do what you do for PHP and for us, the public!
Time stamp 16:56 The Delta jointer, wish you could unpack that specific year or years that they stopped production in the states. Im sure google could provide the answer but I would like to hear your input on the quality changes and what to look for on older and newer overseas manufactured junk. I am currently lost in the whirlwind of product research and price vs quality. The obvious choice is quality but at what cost is it more logical to just buy the new chineseium product? I believe in the "Buy Once Cry Once" rule of thumb when it comes to tools and equipment, but sometimes you are facing the brand name vs the cheap and they both are made overseas or third world countries.
The condensation issue happens with metal doublewides here, exacerbated further by the fact that a lot of people heat with propane or ventless propane heaters. Shop looks nice.
Why is your band saw turned towards the wall? Wouldn't it be better served if you turned it 90 degrees? Congrats on your new shop and thank you for what you do, it's amazing!
In my shop I got rid of all my large garbage cans. I put small cans in so garbage and oily rags doesn't add up and cause a fire. The garbage is taken out to the dumpster more often and easier. I keep a can just for oil and thinner rags too with a lid.
I just saw an article that said according to "reliable sources" the US is going to open their side of the border on June 22nd regardless of what Canada does. Hopefully Canada will open their side also and you can resume your on-site workshops.
Holy cow Rob - this is GREAT. Sure do miss you guys and hope to come back this year to help with one or more TTH workshops.nicely done - glad you didn’t go far from shop #2 that hold some special memories.
At first I thought I had stumbled upon a two year old video but when I didn’t see any plane shavings on the floor I knew it WAS a new shop! Congratulations Rob! I think the size is great; the previous place (now production) was huge. This place has character! Can’t wait to see the rest of it.
It will probably take you awhile before you figure out where you will leave your tools out of habit making them difficult to find. Lol. Hopefully one day I can see the shop in person as part of your 💜. Love the videos.
Very nice shop and thoughtful layout. SawstopTable Saw’s seem to be the industry standard at the moment. I don’t understand why other companies don’t come up with some sort of safety device as well. I really like the titanium nitroide coding of Harvey saws. Very nice. I notice your apron patches. USS Iwo Jima and VMAQ-2. I was on the Iwo pretty much all of 2012 with the 24th MEU and did the majority of my career as a E-A6B Prowler Marine. That’s cool you have those. 🤙🏻
This is great and inspiring. Thanks, Rob and Jake. Enjoy your new shop, Rob. Two questions, where do you get that Wood sample poster on the wall behind the clamp rack? Where do you usually source the parts for your old power tools? Thanks!
I got the wood chart from a local mill that’s out of business now. The only parts that need replacing is motors, bearings and belts. All very readably available
Grew up in New England but have lived in Wisconsin for 45 years. My 7th and 8th grade (1958/59) wood shop had General or Delta for all the large equipment (ie, table saw, band saw, lathes, drill presses, jointer/surface planer, floor disc/belt sander, and radial arm saw; no chop saws!). No hand power tools; just hand tools and you supplied the manual power ie, elbow grease! The stock room that housed the lumber was primarily filled with mahogany - in those days as cheap as pine! So most of my projects, coffee table, stools, lamps, bowls, etc were made with mahogany. Wish I had been around as an adult when they stopped offering wood shop and sold that equipment! I’m sure its still running today in someone’s shop.
Very nice shop Rob. How do you find all the machinery? I keep looking for a decent 8" jointer, but everything I find is 6" or less. I know you fix up your machinery, but I can't even find the fixer uppers. Let us know your secret.
I love your Purple Heart thing. For years I've had a dream to one day have a woodworking shop, and have a club, or group, or class, for old timers. How many old timers are there out there, living in old folks homes, or apartments, or wherever, who would love to be able to have access to a woodworking shop, to work on their own projects, or do stuff for the community, or teach kids, or just hang out? (Unfortunately, I don't think I'll realize that dream - due to 'life' - health, circumstances, etc. But .... you never know ....) (ok, gotta go. I'm waiting on some chisels to be delivered today ; ) )
I'm not sure what the climate is like where you live, but have you guys considered running everything off of your own solar and battery setup? I'm not sure what your power consumption is, but if it is a lot, it could save money over time.
Nice shop. I’m in the process of building my first shop. I’m 68 and trying to retire, good luck with that. Anyways, I built a 2story garage 28x34 with the lower section a garage with work space and the second story will be my wood shop. Unfortunately we had a tragedy in our family last fall. Our daughter-in-law passed away and we now have our 15 year old grandson living with us. Our house is not all that large, great for the two of us with the grandkids on the weekends. We live on a lake in upstate NY so that makes for a desirable place for kids to come to. With that being said, I’m leaning towards giving my grandson a section of my work space so he has a place to go too. In doing that, I’ll end up with an approx. size shop of 20x27. I was encouraged when you stated the size of your shop and mine will not be that much smaller. So my question and what I’ve been battling with is what to use for wall covering. The ceiling will be drywall and frankly been leaning towards drywall for the walls as well. I know that having something more solid on the walls would have its advantages as far as hanging things off it. But with the ridiculous cost of sheet goods that certainly comes into play as well. But my real question to you, after reading this novel, do you think I would be making a big mistake using drywall and bitting the bullet with some sort of sheet goods. Thanks.
I love all of the older equipment. They just don't make machinery as they did during the first half of the 1900s. Cast iron bases cast iron table tops on shop equipment that today are just pressed aluminum or steel. They are simple in construction, which means fewer parts to break down and maintain. We have mostly antique machinery in our shop. Some have been in the same spot of the shop when my great-grandfather purchased them! We hire retired machinists to come in every month to do routine maintenance on each one. That includes greasing, oiling, and sharpening blades where needed and clearing out the sawdust that gets down inside of them. Many of the machinists we have hired over the years had been making parts for these old machines before they retired. So they know these machines inside out. I have always looked at them as works of industrial art. With increasing tensions between China and the US these days I am hoping it will force some of the American companies that defected to China for cheap labor, to come back here and put qualified American workers back to work. Congratulations and best of luck. PS: God Bless you for all that you do for the Veterans. More times than not, the soldiers who put their lives on the line so we all can be free are villainized and forgotten. My Grandmother lost her eldest child to WW2 and her youngest child to the Vietnam war. She worked tirelessly for the VFW and anyone who helped our boys when they came home. I don't know if Canada has a VFW but I'm sure there is something like it there.
Please please please get that camera in so we can see what you’re talking about. “Coin” flooring. General emblem pre-1964, etc. I nosy and want to see everything
Nice new shop hope you can keep everything to hand and not lose time looking for items! Ps are you going to reclaim your Dovetail record from Mat Estela!! And the cheek of it using your saw!!
Its interesting that Rob talks about hand tools a lot . His shop really doesnt look like a hand tool shop does it? . Or do people think I'm wrong . ?Selling hand tools seems like a sideline moneymaker. I am not laying blame . I just thought he gives an overall impression of hand tool use.
I spend 6-8 weeks a year teaching hand tool woodworking workshops. The rest of the year I teach hybrid woodworking to my online students. I also develop new tools and make the specialty items by like exotic saw handles and custom chisels. For the most part I’m fake news! :)
Rob, definitely correct about wall cabinets less than 6" for bits and bobs, I have a couple about 12" deep and I find I'm forever moving stuff around to find anything.
Hey Rob = Nice walkaround. You didn't mention the Scroll saw down by the lathe. What make is that and would you recommend it? To have that much space all to yourself, it must be great.
Beautiful! But, yeah, where's the router table? The other thing I have in my shop is a funnel in a secluded corner with a plastic pipe that goes thru the wall into a buried holey 5 gal bucket filled with coarse limestone. This time of year, with leaves on the trees, I can step outside for a leak. November through mid-May, not so much. Split top Roubo is coming--dead ash logs now lined up for a guy with a Woodmizer as I dream the details. Hovarter leg and wagon vises made in Michigan are prominent in the current fantasy.
Love the up cycling / reusing materials All of my workshop benches and storage (8'x10'!) are made from recycled heavy duty machine pallets. Thanks for the walk through, hope to visit one day 👍
I always learn something from your videos. This time you hit the nail on the head in several places. You are so right about the newer Delta drill presses. I bought mine new about 15 years ago and the quill jumps about 1/16” if I have it extended very far. Drives me nuts. Does anyone know how to repair this? Delta hasn’t responded to my inquiries. Your new shop is only about 30% larger than mine but looks much more efficient. Last, have you looked at the combination machines such as the Hammer planer/jointer? That would increase the capacity over what I have and save space too. It is expensive and I can’t afford to make a mistake that cost that much.
You've been busy - as usual. I've asked a couple of different ways, but haven't got an answer. I have some really beautiful, workable, hard to source, Aussie timber. What size blank do you need to make a saw handle. I'll post that size to you so you can add to your collection or sell for PH. Thanks
Thanks for the tour of your shop. I really enjoyed your collection of General and Rockwell Delta tools. You are very fortunate to have been able to find these tools and continue to use them. I have a General table saw that I purchased in Portland Oregon around the mid 80’s. It still works great. I look forward to your next tour!
Rob you blow my mind .I just love watching your videos' .I am really impressed with your new shop even though I did not see anything wrong with your old one . I have been doing wood working for 50 plus years home reno ,cabinets ,furniture , small boxes now I trying to do wood hinges . You make it look so simple but it's not so. Wish I could take your course ,too far .live in eastern Ontario and too old . Please do not stop doing what you do. Thanks Julien Lamarche
Great shop! I wish I had the space to copy it. Just a thought, As you build the cabinets for the shop, show the builds live on the Purple Heart Project live streams. It is a win for everyone. You get the time to build the cabinets and we get to learn from you. Thanks for supporting the world's Veterans. The world could use more people like you to say nothing about the vets you give a new purpose.
Great video Rob. I really enjoyed watching it and picked up quite a few ideas. Excavation starts on Tuesday for my new shop. My first real shop that isn’t a portion of the garage. I have been without a shop of any kind for nearly a year and it is hard to wait. I had hoped to have a crawl space under it to run ductwork and electrical but couldn’t make that happen so I will be hanging ductwork from the ceiling too. Did you design the ductwork layout or have it done? Oneida provides that service for a fee but not sure if that is the way to go. Cost of everything is nearly double what I was planing on so I hope the shop is finished before the money runs out. Anyway thanks to you and Jake for another great video.
Congratulations for the new shop!!!! Looking great, i love the way the doors are closed with out the hardware that's a quality build!!!!!, and the fluent working around!!!
Two suggestions. Add an air filter above your bench the ceiling type. When the sun shines in the morning through my window I see the fine dust floating In the air. When I turn it on , the dust quickly goes away .especially when you using your power equipment.Even having all those dust ports my bet is it’s still in the air. Believe me being a 40 plus year woodworker I didn’t either use what I use now to protect my lungs. My suggestions would be in a new shop set up . Finish the floor . Your stick down tile will be a breeze to clean up. But an epoxy floor would be some thing I would do. First . Second . Is suggest plywood or solid wood walls. That way you can add at anytime slat walls. Or cabinets what ever . Even the smallest addition of hanging a nail to hang your apron or a square . Would be my improvement. It’s something no one told me I should do. I now want to go back and add that. But not at at the current lumber prices. I want a new shed 16x14 to put my extra materials so I can clean up my shop and just hold my current project material. My 16x22’ shop is very cozy but cramped. I am so happy for you to see you get a new shop.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking if you don’t have one presently I think you will like in in your smaller shop. It really pulls the air through it quickly. They now have them which mine doesn’t a remote control . Great job . Since tonight your doing a live feed on set up . Ide thought my two ideas might be worth mentioning. Look forward as always to Saturday night show.
What is the box for the off-cuts under the Bosch saw made from? Sorry I couldn't quite tell from the video. Lovely new space, really goes without saying.
Great space, the lighting really does work well. I'd love to have that sawstop for my workshop but can't have it in Europe. Best of luck with the new shop Rob
Congrats Rob. Great decisions including the very appropriate use of spray foam on the exterior steel. Great air seal to keep cold air out...as well as insulation that does NOT allow the humid indoor air to reach the cold steel (unlike insulation batts).
My shop is 24’x35’ but I do not have near the usable room u have. Can u draw a floor plan with your tool locations and dimensions. Efficient Space utilization is so important and I have to improve mine.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking I will do just that. My shop is actually 24’x30’ not 35’, but I wish it was 30’x40’. I could definitely use the room. Gonna add 8’ down one of the 30’ sides...next year
Rob..your new shop is fantastic !! Looks great and very efficient ! Can't wait to see some videos from it !! Great job to all who pitched in to get it done !
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Any special tips for planing Douglas Fir. The one time I tried I got major tear out. Maybe you could do a video on that? Hint.. Thanks for all you do for this community.
Congratulations on the new shop Boss, just like moving into a new house it’ll be a while before it feels like home but you know what they say, home is where your tools are (well at least that’s what I say) I’m looking forward to many new projects in your new shop and wish you many, many happy years here !
I noticed you don’t have a router table, are you against them? Or are you planning on making one?
"Nice to get a little bit of daylight" translates to "let's me know when it's dark outside when I've been caught up in my work"
We’re you able to fix the condensation problem? And what did you do?
Turned out to be a leaky door seal
Congrats on having your own shop once again. No more seaching for tools, maybe.
Thanks for watching and commenting

Hans in calif.
What about the scroll saw? You didn't mention it. Looks like an RBI.
Can you share what exact colour and type of paint you used on the General belt/disc sander?
Rob,
Where did you get your sharpening mat? Thanks for all the info.
By the lathe what are the round disks for? Anyone can answer I just got a second hand lathe. I don't know much about the tool.
I noticed that old thickness planer it has a really short bed. Do you get bad snipe with that particular machine?
In Wisconsin sixty years ago all the savvy shop owners bought General equipment. I'll bet 95% of it is still in service and prized by the owners.
I agree....I am always on the hunt for old General machines
I remember using General machines in wood shop when I was in school I the 60’s.
"Running around looking?" "hey Jake, where's my ???"
Jakes the answer man
In my shop I got rid of all my large garbage cans. I put small cans in so garbage and oily rags doesn't add up and cause a fire. The garbage is taken out to the dumpster more often and easier. I keep a can just for oil and thinner rags too with a lid.

Congratulations on the new shop, Rob.
Thanks
If I won the lottery, I would have a shop like this. I can but dream.
do you have a suggestion as where to buy a saw stop saw-or any promotions...? id like to get one

Awesome new shop, I am jealous. I am allocated a small section of the basement.
Rob, how do you feel about the Canadian made Rockwell machines?
thanks for the tour-very nice-impressive your a great teacher
thank you

Yes its time to stop building the shop and start making stuff
I'll copy some of tools layout but not that big.
Hi, Can I ask what make and model the small electric fret saw you have by the wood lathe is please... thanks... Yoki...

Nice new shop hope you can keep everything to hand and not lose time looking for items!
Ps are you going to reclaim your Dovetail record from Mat Estela!! And the cheek of it using your saw!!
You know I am
Great shop! What's the story behind the mini bench next to the chop saw? Looks like a mini replica of your bench.
Rex's Christmas present about 27 years ago.
Its interesting that Rob talks about hand tools a lot . His shop really doesnt look like a hand tool shop does it? . Or do people think I'm wrong . ?Selling hand tools seems like a sideline moneymaker. I am not laying blame . I just thought he gives an overall impression of hand tool use.
I spend 6-8 weeks a year teaching hand tool woodworking workshops. The rest of the year I teach hybrid woodworking to my online students. I also develop new tools and make the specialty items by like exotic saw handles and custom chisels. For the most part I’m fake news! :)
Don't you do a shop tour twice a year.
Hang the planes and use a stick with a hook to get them up and down. Like a clothes rack hook. Why stuff them anywhere else? They look great in there.
Good idea
Rob, definitely correct about wall cabinets less than 6" for bits and bobs, I have a couple about 12" deep and I find I'm forever moving stuff around to find anything.
Very nice shop. All the necessities but not over done. Do you have a charging station for your cordless power tools?
Working on the power tool cabinet now
Hey Rob = Nice walkaround. You didn't mention the Scroll saw down by the lathe. What make is that and would you recommend it? To have that much space all to yourself, it must be great.
Beautiful! But, yeah, where's the router table? The other thing I have in my shop is a funnel in a secluded corner with a plastic pipe that goes thru the wall into a buried holey 5 gal bucket filled with coarse limestone. This time of year, with leaves on the trees, I can step outside for a leak. November through mid-May, not so much. Split top Roubo is coming--dead ash logs now lined up for a guy with a Woodmizer as I dream the details. Hovarter leg and wagon vises made in Michigan are prominent in the current fantasy.
Great video. Nice shop. Are you ever going to have plans for your tool cabinet ?
Eventually, covid madness has everything up in the air. We need real leaders in both countries.
Only an 8 inch jointer? I thought you'd at least have a 12 inch machine.
Main shop has an 8 and a 16”
Love the up cycling / reusing materials
All of my workshop benches and storage (8'x10'!) are made from recycled heavy duty machine pallets.
Thanks for the walk through, hope to visit one day 👍
I always learn something from your videos. This time you hit the nail on the head in several places. You are so right about the newer Delta drill presses. I bought mine new about 15 years ago and the quill jumps about 1/16” if I have it extended very far. Drives me nuts. Does anyone know how to repair this? Delta hasn’t responded to my inquiries. Your new shop is only about 30% larger than mine but looks much more efficient. Last, have you looked at the combination machines such as the Hammer planer/jointer? That would increase the capacity over what I have and save space too. It is expensive and I can’t afford to make a mistake that cost that much.
If you are not constantly looking around for the tool you want, you must not have enough tools. Right?
Good point
You've been busy - as usual. I've asked a couple of different ways, but haven't got an answer. I have some really beautiful, workable, hard to source, Aussie timber. What size blank do you need to make a saw handle. I'll post that size to you so you can add to your collection or sell for PH. Thanks
Thanks for the tour of your shop. I really enjoyed your collection of General and Rockwell Delta tools. You are very fortunate to have been able to find these tools and continue to use them. I have a General table saw that I purchased in Portland Oregon around the mid 80’s. It still works great. I look forward to your next tour!
What about the work bench you are leaning on at end of this video. Do you have plans?
Its a Frank Klaus workbench design. Google it and you can find plans
5:05 Vestibule? Cool shop!
Rob you blow my mind .I just love watching your videos' .I am really impressed with
your new shop even though I did not see anything wrong with your old one . I have
been doing wood working for 50 plus years home reno ,cabinets ,furniture , small boxes
now I trying to do wood hinges . You make it look so simple but it's not so.
Wish I could take your course ,too far .live in eastern Ontario and too old .
Please do not stop doing what you do.
Thanks Julien Lamarche
Great shop! I wish I had the space to copy it. Just a thought, As you build the cabinets for the shop, show the builds live on the Purple Heart Project live streams. It is a win for everyone. You get the time to build the cabinets and we get to learn from you. Thanks for supporting the world's Veterans. The world could use more people like you to say nothing about the vets you give a new purpose.
Where do you keep your paint/finish products and equipment?
metal cabinet in the other shop
Great video Rob. I really enjoyed watching it and picked up quite a few ideas. Excavation starts on Tuesday for my new shop. My first real shop that isn’t a portion of the garage. I have been without a shop of any kind for nearly a year and it is hard to wait. I had hoped to have a crawl space under it to run ductwork and electrical but couldn’t make that happen so I will be hanging ductwork from the ceiling too. Did you design the ductwork layout or have it done? Oneida provides that service for a fee but not sure if that is the way to go. Cost of everything is nearly double what I was planing on so I hope the shop is finished before the money runs out. Anyway thanks to you and Jake for another great video.
Congratulations for the new shop!!!! Looking great, i love the way the doors are closed with out the hardware that's a quality build!!!!!, and the fluent working around!!!
Two suggestions. Add an air filter above your bench the ceiling type. When the sun shines in the morning through my window I see the fine dust floating
In the air. When I turn it on , the dust quickly goes away .especially when you using your power equipment.Even having all those dust ports my bet is it’s still in the air. Believe me being a 40 plus year woodworker I didn’t either use what I use now to protect my lungs. My suggestions would be in a new shop set up . Finish the floor . Your stick down tile will be a breeze to clean up. But an epoxy floor would be some thing I would do. First . Second . Is suggest plywood or solid wood walls. That way you can add at anytime slat walls. Or cabinets what ever . Even the smallest addition of hanging a nail to hang your apron or a square . Would be my improvement. It’s something no one told me I should do. I now want to go back and add that. But not at at the current lumber prices. I want a new shed 16x14 to put my extra materials so I can clean up my shop and just hold my current project material. My 16x22’ shop is very cozy but cramped. I am so happy for you to see you get a new shop.
Filter has been on back order
@@RobCosmanWoodworking if you don’t have one presently I think you will like in in your smaller shop. It really pulls the air through it quickly. They now have them which mine doesn’t a remote control . Great job . Since tonight your doing a live feed on set up . Ide thought my two ideas might be worth mentioning. Look forward as always to Saturday night show.
What is the box for the off-cuts under the Bosch saw made from? Sorry I couldn't quite tell from the video. Lovely new space, really goes without saying.
Plywood
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Thanks - always wondered if plywood would take a dovetail
This video was EXCEPTIONALLY HELPFUL!!! Thank you.
Great space, the lighting really does work well. I'd love to have that sawstop for my workshop but can't have it in Europe. Best of luck with the new shop Rob
Rob, you’ve just built my dream home, , , , , !
You also need a table saw mattress to sleep on!
Congrats Rob. Great decisions including the very appropriate use of spray foam on the exterior steel. Great air seal to keep cold air out...as well as insulation that does NOT allow the humid indoor air to reach the cold steel (unlike insulation batts).
My shop is 24’x35’ but I do not have near the usable room u have. Can u draw a floor plan with your tool locations and dimensions. Efficient Space utilization is so important and I have to improve mine.
Just watch the video several times and use it to draw your floor plan
@@RobCosmanWoodworking I will do just that. My shop is actually 24’x30’ not 35’, but I wish it was 30’x40’. I could definitely use the room. Gonna add 8’ down one of the 30’ sides...next year
That’s what I was meaning smaller shop for filming for us .as your subscribers.
Congrats!
Rob..your new shop is fantastic !! Looks great and very efficient ! Can't wait to see some videos from it !! Great job to all who pitched in to get it done !
My current shop is my favorite and it's the smallest. I agree, the larger the shop the more walking and it's easier to clean.
Congratulations on your new workshop. Great equipment layout plan to handle the processing logistics.
What an awesome shop, holy crap So well thought out shop. I know you have the experience but this is top notch.
Congratulations Professor on the new "private" shop. Hey Col. Shealy did you get a key?
Love the new shop
So impressed with your new workshop ,love it like if it was mine👌💯🇧🇿
Good luck with your new shop. I'm looking forward in seeing many videos from it.
Can we see the rest of the facility as well? kitchen/dining room etc
Very soon, just getting it finished
Hey Rob. Anything special about the Pine and Douglas Fir combination in your shop? Is it just for contrast?
contrast.
@@RobCosmanWoodworking Any special tips for planing Douglas Fir. The one time I tried I got major tear out. Maybe you could do a video on that? Hint.. Thanks for all you do for this community.
Third time’s a charm
Two thumbs up (still attached) for having the SawStop
Congratulations on the new shop Boss, just like moving into a new house it’ll be a while before it feels like home but you know what they say, home is where your tools are (well at least that’s what I say) I’m looking forward to many new projects in your new shop and wish you many, many happy years here !
