- Thanks to all our subscribers, and all those that have helped this channel and this workshop become what it is! (I mean the good parts. Not the rest.)
Speedy recovery for your daughter and fantastic work so far, keep the stable and convert it
Thanks! She's doing much better., and I think you're probably right about the stable. There's a few project ahead of that though. We'll see if it can survive that long!
I appreciate the authenticity of this. Thanks for showing a real view of your shop and not some doctored up view to keep up with the other youtubers. Look forward to seeing how you progress to build up the shop and turn out some projects.
I appreciate that!
Ok, you convinced me. That actually is pretty bad 😆. One day at a time, it’ll get there.
Goal achieved.
Just keep being you and sharing the process. Don't change a thing.
I appreciate that.
Hilarious video. Little Bit is a natural comedian. Hope that PT goes smooth for Princess. Keep up the great work. 👽
Thanks so much!
Your comfort level with the camera and witty commentary show you are light years ahead of many y-tubers. As a very novice woodworker, I enjoy your videos regardless of style. Your personality is what shines.
Abraham, I appreciate that more than you know. Thank you.
I couldn't agree more!
Oh now I see whatsit all about! Get well soon Princess and good luck horses on finding a new home!
Thanks, Mark!
I'm a little late to the party here, but I really enjoyed this video! Hope your daughter has healed up okay by now.
Thank you!! She's doing great
The channel is gaining steam. Keep up the good work. Can’t wait to see the build you were talking about.
You and me both!
These are great videos. Love seeing the kids. It will be fun seeing this channel take off, and it will. It takes awhile but keep making the videos just as you have been. They are fresh and that is what people like.
Glad you enjoy it!
Subscribed. Finally, a woodworker I can relate to! Keep it real!
Thanks!
I appreciate the authenticity of your videos. I would keep doing what makes you happy. Your people, your Tribe as Seth Godin calls them, will respect you for being you and those are the best follower to have. I’m happy for all the big time YT Woodworkers, who have upgraded to new shops but I really like to see the Everyman (Everyperson) making it work in whatever they have to work with.
Thanks, Stephen.
Ouch! I pray princess heals quickly and back to 100%.
I like your willingness to show what most workshops look like. I have a 12’x32’ space in my shop that I do woodworking. Not much room after getting a 16” bandsaw, 14” bench top bandsaw, table saw, belt and disc sander combo, planer, small jointer, big jointer, router table, wood steamer, scroll saw, etc. then there are shelves, workbench, stackable drawers for fastener’s and small parts. Most things are on wheels and I play the Chinese tile game to get by. Everything is neat and tidy. Not! 😊 I appreciate seeing you work with what you have. Anybody can build things in a huge shop where you have 8’ of room around the table saw. Try it where you have to side step and squeeze by all the tools. 😁 Love your channel.
I've worked in much less. A quick word of advice. I'd like to be a two bandsaw shop someday, but your bandsaw is NEVER big enough. A 14" is wonderful. If I get a second one someday, it will be at least 17", and more likely 21".
"some cat" is so much funnier if it really is just some random stray cat.
Haha, Love this . Your daughters helping you building their own things like the Barbie things is awesome . I havbe a 8yo daughter myself and she likes checking me out when I am doing things in the shed . She is really fond of my 3D printer. My shed is waaaaay smaller than yours tho :) Keep going
Get her in there while she's interested! She may not be for long. And thanks for your comment. I definitely have space.
I liked seeing the realness of your shop. Truth be told most of us that watch woodworkers on RUclips probably have shop that look about the same. Thanks for showing that im not the only one with a not so perfect shop. Loved the video
Thanks for watching, Johnny!
Its all good. Your channel, your rules. At 78 I'm out of ideas. I'm passing the torch.
Glad to see everyone is OK. It's nice content to see how the workshop is progressing.
Like the others say, don't change too much. So many youtubers go into cnc and insane tools which average people can't relate to.
Your channel has more than enough charm to grow far larger
Thanks! There are things I want and things I don't. Most of the big things are safety related, like dust collection. And if I ever get a chance to buy a Sawstop, I'm gonna do it. But most of the time, I just like my tools to work. And I have several tools I bought around thirty years ago that just won't die.
I definitely understand what you're saying, and will be thoughtful if I ever get to that point. Thanks for watching!
I just caught myself smiling the whole time 😁 love it (I think more accurate wording would be melting as I watch your presentation of the shop tools as I am the same using whatever I can get)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've seen worse! I was proud of myself a couple of months ago for getting enough clutter / storage removed so I could actually GET INTO my workshop...
Video was fun. Best wishes Princess for a quick recovery.
It's a constant struggle!
Im jealous of the space you have. Ive been half way turning my shed into a hobby workshop for ages and never really getting around to it but its only 3m x 3.6m. you'll be able to do amazing things with yours, you already do in that you're spending time with your kids teaching them skills, making projects they can keep and making memories that will last
I literally found your channel yesterday. I wanted to see this video specifically because I am in the process of building my shop and I always like to see the layout of anyone who has been doing woodworking for a minute - which is longer than I really have.
At some point a few minutes in, I decided that you were likely in the DFW area, based on scenery in the background. You confirmed that later. LoL. How about this heat?
Keep at the channel. Anyone who can comfortably demonstrate what they're doing and demonstrates their humanity about their projects is someone we can all relate to.
Thanks again!!
The heat is CRAZY. I've been in Texas most of my life, and never remember it being quite this bad. In June (which was insane), I had no idea it would be ten degrees hotter in August. Now I'm hearing Winter is supposed to be really cold.
I've read all your comments, and am so grateful you took the time to go through our content. We're learning as we go, experimenting along the way, but having a lot of fun. It's given me some great opportunities to share some of what I've learned with the girls too.
Regarding your shop, I wish I had more to offer. The main thing (and I'm not there yet) is to have a specific place for everything in your shop. And air conditioning. Because c'mon. It's insane right now.
@worstworkshop Yeah, it has been painfully hot in the DFW area, and I don't have any HVAC in my building yet, so work there has been slowed periodically as a result.
The boys have helped me with little bits of work here and there in framing out walls, running plumbing, assembling benches and shelves, but the heat definitely discourages them a bit more than it does me.
I've got more of your content to catch up on, and I will do so. Keep at it. Your progress is inspiring!
Thanks for the tour, dude! 😊
But my workshop looks worse right now... 😬
I showed it briefly in my last video. LOTS of stuff to organize and I don't even have an AC yet! 😂
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Your space is so cool though! Those windows are great.
@@worstworkshop Yeah, but it still gets too hot there during summer. 😕
Dude you're a natural vlogger! Your commentary skills are excellent!
Thanks! I'm really trying.
Great video!
❤best wishes for Princess’s speedy recovery❤
I love to follow your journey, not only shop stuff but everything. I have daughters too, so seeing y’all doing all this together brings me much joy. Your videos are funny,clever, adorable and interesting all at the same time. Keep them coming!l
I would’ve love to hear Little Bit’s commentary 😊
She had so much commentary too, and no microphone. I'm gonna have to fix that.
Very proud of you, insires me to fix my shop better. Hope princes gets better. Lil bit is a great helper. Keep it up.
Pro tip! Start a RUclips channel. Then you HAVE to keep it nice.
I love your channel and these videos. As a terrible woodworker and fellow dad to 2 little girls, these are an auto-watch whenever one comes up! I'm jealous of your shop; I'm in DFW but in the 'burbs and working out of a single garage stall. I'm just going to continue to enjoy your journey until the time it becomes all Festool Domino projects.
I was in a single garage stall a few years ago. Every bit of space was very carefully utilized, and I finally got it exactly like I wanted it. Then we moved.
The progress is incredible - even if it's still kind of awful :)
One day - a splitter! On a working table saw! A momma can dream.
So I have been going through your videos today, all good stuff great job. But I really want to see a video on your homemade drum sander. I have been wanting to build one, but all the videos are brand new builds, you see two things go through them and its over. Yours looks like one of the simpiier ones, but obviously has some use in it. So love to hear how you built it and well now that you have some time on the machine what sucks and whats critical to make sure we do. Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I plan to. It needs to be rebuilt at some point, but it's never urgent. I think I'll do it sometime in the next few months though. *fingers crossed*
I love this kind of vlog stuff, especially after getting familiar with your channel. All the best to Princess in her recovery, great to see she's full of smiles.
Thank you, Stephen!
We're neighbors! I'm in Shreveport!
Great video! My favorite part was Princess saying "I hurt myself." *grinnn* And your shop is better than mine. ... I do not have one. :/
True enough. Someday!
"apparently this is normal to her" love the humor
Thanks. She's something else.
great update, best of luck on the recovery and the next projects! looks like your board of directors has green lit the insulation and roof project haha
The trick is finding someone willing to help with that ceiling!
Love you and the girls. I hope Princess gets better soon. Best wishes for greater subscriber growth - you deserve it!
Thank you so much!
Three grown and launched boys, but they left all of their bicycles behind, and for some unfathomable reason my lovely wife can't part with them. I can't think of anything that is more difficult to work around than the oddly shaped clumsy bicycle. I sometimes move them outside in the hopes that someone will steal them(we live in a blue State), but she drags them back in every time 'for the just incase there's a chance they will be needed someday' excuse. Uuuuugh. She's lucky that she's pretty. That's all I can say :-)
Ugh...we have a shed for that stuff, but it's getting full.
Hugz & prayers for you and yours. Take care & stay safe. PS this video as totally fine.
Thanks, Doug!
DUDEZILLA! I just subscribed because of this TOTALLY RAD video!!! This is what it's ALL ABOUT!!!!!!!
Thanks, Andy!
my workshop looks way worse, so dont be ashamed, loved the updates, i like to see how things change through time and effort. princess get well soon
Thanks!
You remind me of jay batea when he first started, working out of a old trailer as a shop. Now he is all fancy with every toy known to man. Nothing wrong with that, its just not as fun and relatable. I'm somwhere in between you and Jay, but I like the beginnings working with little and being creative with what you got. Keep it up, live your videos.
I think there's a place for creators with less cool toys. I'll be very thoughtful as I upgrade my shop to keep that in mind. Do you watch Colin Furze? He has some neat stuff, but tends to be pretty conservative as well.
Props to you man. I don't want to show my shop due to all the "junk" in my shop. I'm having to build a few cabinets in my feed shed. The dilemmas of being a mechanic and wood turner, the local handyman, I'm not the only handy man in my location😅 but still, plumber, tile guy. Honestly, it sucks but hey, extra income, I will not complain.
That's serious work! Props to you.
Love the video! Get well soon, Princess! Did you really let Little Bit drive the car for that dolly shot?
HA! Noooooo....that was my wife.
Princess can drive here on the acres. Lil Bit in maybe another year! I needed that practice and didn’t get it learning to drive, so I want them to practice long before they hit the road, when a big hay bale is the worst thing they could take out at home. 😂
I hope your youtube success gets you a wall of woodpeckers tools, incessant shoutouts to rockler solutions looking for problems, a domino (that you have to apologize for owning), and a sawstop. When you build a new workshop and make it a 10 part video, I hope you keep one of the walls of this one for your narration shots.
Ha! You're the first person to ever say that. I dunno though. I'm pretty cheap.
@@worstworkshop I'm known to sort through construction sites to get the old growth 2x4s from the 1950s. I'm with you. :)
Dude, that's hilariously exactly how every wood working you tuber ends up!😊
@@amwtm That's so smart. I never considered doing that.
Hola desde España! Me encanta el contenido de tus vídeos, lo haces ameno y fácil de comprender. Espero que Princesa sea valiente y se recupere pronto. Un abrazo
Muchas gracias por su comentario y su palabres amables. Princess se está poniendo mejor cada día.
Congrats on the 5K subscribers!!!!! Wish I had a drum sander.
You oughta build one! It's not very hard. Someday I'll rebuild mine and show everyone how to build one of their own.
I like the honesty and down to earth way you come across in all your videos,. Don't ever change, keep bringing content from the heart.
How weird that RUclips marked your comment as spam! I just saw it. Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
@@worstworkshop Marked me as Spam, really?? I’ve been called worse! Lol
@@MJLWoodWorks , I have no idea why. First time I've ever seen it. But I did find you, eventually!
Thanks for not letting me rot in the spam folder with all those degenerate scammers, fake lottery winners and opportunities to get an extended warranty on your vehicle, lol
Get better soon Princess.
It is good to see you back on here again. I thought maybe the "wonderful" Texas heat was keeping you out of your workshop. I'm really happy that you have some a/c in the shop, I was worried about you having to be out in that wonderful Texas heat. I hope Princess heals quickly and that Little Bit doesn't change even a little bit. Please take care and have a great weekend. It looks like we are going to be back in the 100s for highs again for the next 8 or 9 days up here (about 500 miles north and east of you) so I can't imagine how hot it will be for you.
Thank you, Mark! Good to see you again too. I've actually been in the workshop a ton lately, sweating. If I can ever get my next build video finished, it will all make sense.
Only because you asked, I think this format might be a good niche. I don't think there are a lot of vlog-y 5-8 min "here's what we're working on now" in the maker/wood working space. I don't know anything about ye all-mighty algorithm, however, so disregard if it doesn't serve you.
I appreciate that feedback. I'm always doing stuff in there, and it would make it easier to release videos more frequently if I did vlogs, in addition to builds. The closest thing I can think of is Out of the Woods, and I love that channel.
Your videos and voice overs are very nice to watch, your editing is pretty dang good!
Ooff, your shop needs a lot of attention, but I'm confident you and your girls will make something awesome out of it! But, wait, you are going to have to change the name of your channel when you're done to "Pretty cool workshop" 🤔
Get well soon, Princess!
Thanks! I've thought about that, because I do want my shop to look nice. But I feel like I'll always make dumb mistakes, so maybe it'll still work.
You're the best!
Thanks for the video man! Keep it up!
🥰🥰🤗🤗 Congrats on the air con!
Thanks a lot!
That's a nice OSB wall 😂. That's a lot of work, glad is you and not me. You might have the worst workshop, but it's a whole lot cleaner than mine. 😅. Glad Princess will be okay.
I know you won't doubt me when I tell you I spent two days cleaning it before shooting this.
@@worstworkshop 😂😂😂😂. I'm hoping to clean up and organize soon... Maybe in a month 😅
Only my second visit to your channel, ill be back! I was born in ft worth and still have relatives there
Thanks for watching, Billy!
Straight up laughted at your reveal. Thank you!
Glad we could make you laugh!
@@worstworkshop Your channel is great fun, and I look forward to watching it grow! My oldest wants to become a content creator, and I would love to make videos along side them like you're doing. So you are also an escapist entertainment for that pipe dream. Keep it up!
I'm with you, man. I nay have you beat. Lol, well, maybe not.😂😂
There are worse workshops in the world, but most people wouldn't have the guts to show them off.
Awesome! Keep at it! A little bit of consistent progress can add up to so much over time. I can't wait to watch what you build next! And what you upgrade.
Thanks, Scott!
love the video keep it up fellow Girl Dad
Great video glad to see you back in the shop. Glad your daughter is going to be ok 🙏🏻 can’t wait to see what you guys do next
Thanks 👍
Bird block cheats, i used a pocket hole jig and screwed them in, saved much nailing nightmare.
Thanks! I tried that, but in the end went with the brad nailer. Works great.
The dude you wish was your neighbor because he makes cool videos and you as a tradesman could help hin get his shop together.
Thanks! And thanks for watching and commenting.
@@worstworkshop your channel is fun. Keep at it
Thanks.
5k subs?!?!? Wtf. ❤❤❤❤❤
Pretty soon you’re going to have a wall of red tools and Festool systainers everywhere.
As long as I can keep the water away!
@@worstworkshop remove all plumbing
@@wittworks Done.
❤❤❤❤❤
I am late to the party but I am here and enjoying it. If you have a paywall for your content I am not that into it but as is I am loving the free content and I will like comment and have already subscribed.
Thanks.l!
My tool wall is in our spare bedroom/home-office/studio-space, my mini-workbench is smack bang in our loungeroom, and my big workbench is under the house, exposed to the elements (except rain). You make do when you aren't rich. Get creative, your shop is 90% potential, 10% awesome. $0.02
I've been there. I went from a cabinet in an apartment to a shed, to a corner of a garage, to half of a garage, to this. I just turned fifty, so I guess I've earned it. It's going to be awesome by the time I'm done with it (I hope).
My shop is an 8x12 shed.
Hey neighbor! I've been there. Before that I had a cabinet in an apartment. We work with what we have.
Your shop looks a lot like mine..but my question is do you have plans on how you built the drum sander?
I'm afraid not. But if you search RUclips for "homemade drum sander" I bet you can find a build video or two.
