Much appreciated! I support my team through thick and thin. I love having the French cleats, made a huge impact to readily available tools and jigs. Good luck on your organization. It's a labor of love for sure.
Yes, I think there are a couple of things. Most garage ceiling are not finished. Mine was finished in the 70's with popcorn ceiling. I removed all that but didn't want to float the entire ceiling after. The black paint does a great job of hiding imperfections. Additionally, a black ceiling with bright LED's makes it feel like a showroom. People notice right away when they come visit.
No I haven't created a video on that topic yet. Long story short: I have been making/fixing things since my teens. I have always had a passion for DIY and love using my hands and oh course TOOLS! As with most of us, I have accumulated lot's of tools and material over the years. I had an Etsy store for several years where I made exotic cutting boards. That is where High 5ive started. We have a family of Five and who doesn't enjoy a solid High Five. Fast forward several years; I have been upgrading tools, the shop and skills in order to build bigger and better projects. I wouldn't say I am an expert by any means. Just another guy/dad who enjoys building. The process is very satisfying and I hope I am teaching my kids great lessons as the grow and develop. Thanks for the question!!!
Very well organized and well thought out. Nice job!
Thank you very much!
Beautiful shop! Nice work
Thank you very much! Come a long way, got a long way to go.
Like the shop and the hoodie. The French cleats are a great idea. Hoping to get some shop organization done this year myself.

“Awesome” count ? Nice shop. Enjoyed the video.
Thank you! It was a longer video, so I really appreciate you taking some time to watch.
Dang, you have a great shop! It’s a shame that shop tours like yours and mine don’t get the views
Thanks John! Just trying to work my way up to a shop like yours. :) I believe the views will come... one day.
Is the black ceiling more for the video side of things, or is there a non-RUclips benefit to black walls and ceilings?

Do you have a video explaining your story and the origins of your shop?
