I can't tell you how happy I am to see that you finished this job but the most important thing to me is the ramp your son built for you!! 1.) It's really good for his confidence. 2.) You will forever have those memories and memories worth more than anything in the world. 3.) GREAT JOB, SAM!!!
Man am i every happy to see how far things have come along !i know the amount of work and perseverance it requires , the planning and execution, your layout is brilliant simple and clean man ! Beautiful job!!! From a fellow builder ! And your sons idea is genius chip off the ol block 😎you the MAN SAM!
I would put vinyl plank flooring down to cover any problems. Also shoot with a middle into the waves with wood glue and put some weight on it until glue is dry. This project is really kwel.!
What a fine, handsome workshop building Sam. Your friends, family and Jimney were absolutely correct to keep pushing you on the finishing touches of your build. A work to be proud of. Good call on the ramp! Can’t wait to see what comes out of the workshop in the future.
I seldom comment but, I've been following along for quite awhile and I just wanted to say you did a great job and are very honest. I enjoy your channel.
This has been a fun few months (for us). The workshop looks fantastic! I like the ceiling for sure. The heaters you have shown are bigger but similar to one we used at work. Worked very well at heating a spray booth that had three walls exposed to the outside; kept it nice and warm, no problem. For the wall with the windows; maybe a show & tell table for demos on new lasers and such. A dedicated place for the setup and filming of videos so as not to disrupt the rest of your business setup? Anyway, really appreciate the effort put forth by you and family and taking the time to bring us along for the ride. Thank you!
It looks great Sam, you did awesome job. I'm glad that you finished it up on the windows. Because you know you probably would've never gone back to finish it up So now it's done and that's a huge accomplishment .
Congratulations to and family(your faithful helpers on a job well done). Sam a thought,first and goal..don't punt. Finish the doorway/connector hall, reason #1 if the budget allows, you won't regret finishing the job #2 it will be SO much easier moving from old shop via a doorway verses hauling out the door around the old shop and up the ramp...it gets tiring all the trips. Just my observations....we aren't getting any younger. Thanks again for reading my $.02 worth.
I put RustOlium oil-based paint on my plywood floor. Wears like iron and looks great. It will take a couple of days to dry since it is oil-based. Two gallons would do your floor. A second coat is optional, it would make it better since the wood is pretty dry.
First CONGRATULATIONS!!! My way of thinking is that sub standard plywood flooring should be cut out and replaced. It will nag you until you do. Get it behind you now. Totally happy for you and your family. You got your first class shop and they got their Dad and Husband back 🙂
In the past I have mentioned a couple of things but I can see you have most of the things already thought out and don't listen to a whole lot of us. Here is one thing I will say that I would do to the shop NOW. Before you move anything in, lay down carpet. It will help sound proof the room and believe it or not, easier to keep clean. I have some in my shop and I would not have it any other way. I learned it from Stumpy Nub when he put it in his shop. A vacuum when needed is all you have to do. Helps with the temp in the shop also.
Hi Sam! It's really nice to see your new workshop being completed! I'm excited to see what wonderful things you create in it. You are very talented! I do know who one of your friends that kept pushing you to keep going, I have watched their channel for many years! The first letter of his name is "D"! I'll never forget the tool you made for him that was very mysterious and fun at the same time! I laughed my head off at the both of you! The peanutbutter jar cleaner! 😂 Have fun in your new workshop! 😊
I vision "rest area" in one of the corners with TV and comfortable seating. After all, this shop could also be a "mancave" especially with three men in your family. Sam you are such a good spokesperson. I love listening to your explanations. Such a good job on this project.
Hi Sam, I am so appreciative that you and your family have such a lovely workshop for your family homestead. God is good and you are blessed! Enjoy your workshop! 🕊🌟
Sam, I was going to suggest you put a thin molding over those ceiling joints. Like 1/4" thick x 1" wide or so. Painted the same color. That would fix the issue and give you a bit of an artistic feel.
Nice job. Plenty of room for the future and wherever life takes Samcraft down the road. I like the 5' door idea but aren't you still limited by the old shop door which was only around 44" ?
My only advice is put wheels on your equipment till you settle on their final location because you will move things around a lot at first.. And as for the laser engravers... I hang mine on the wall (the manageable size ones) and when I need them I have wall attached tables that open up(then pull away from the wall) and I put the laser engravers on them to do the job.. Other than that ....Don't Sweat the small stuff!!! :) Oh and I also added a ceiling hoist through my attic door to lift heavy stuff when needed... using a cheap Harbor freight hoist!
Congratulations Sam you did an outstanding job. Those heaters really look interesting and hope we will see a few more videos about them. Take care and will be watching for the move in videos.
I also received bad lumber from Home Depot when building my deck it was old damage discolored wood. It got replaced after long discussions , poor quality lumber will not buy lumber from there again. However your shop looks very well built.
🎉 YAY YOU!!! 🎉 It looks amazing Sam!!! Have fun setting up all your toys and organizing to where you can find what you're looking for. Congratulations Issac for building your Dad a ramp! 🤜 Big hugs and big love! Have a blessed week! ✌️💖🙏🇺🇲✡️✝️🙌
It's a fantastic workshop space and you should be rightly proud of the hard work and final finish. Very well done and looking forward to seeing it kitted out. 👏👍👍👍
You may just be a trendsetter. I would and probably will use the chip lap-style ceiling in my next workshop build. In fact, there may be a portion of the house that I may rebuild like a laundry room and a mudroom that it will be going into. Trendsetter, you may just be!
I am very proud of your craftsmanship build of your new workshop. I'm sure you are as well. Nice to know you have people in your life to keep you on the straight and narrow on this build as well. May God bless you and yours.
Sam I rarely ever add comments but I wanted to say congratulations on completing your shop build. I enjoyed the attention to detail that you gave the entire build. The fact that you did not skimp on materials or time to do things correctly will pay dividends as the years go by. I also enjoyed the fact that you decided to keep the ramp your son built. That ramp will speak to you every time you step into your new shop. I observed your son helped through the entire build and that says volumes about him and you and your wife about being good parents. I do have some suggestions I would like to make. Before you move everything into the new space, take the time to paint the floor. This will help in shop cleanup and appearance and is much easier to do now while the shop is empty. Second, I did not see any base trim. This is certainly not necessary but will add to the appearance. A simple 1x4 would look great. Finally, I know you addressed it in the video but the ceiling still does not come up to the standard you set for the rest of the shop. I think you could use drywall compound to patch the gaps and before it completely hardens try running a stiff brush over the patch to put a grain in the compound to match the grain in the boards. Get a matching paint to cover your repairs and the ceiling will again match your eye for detail. I do not mean to offend or in any way detract from your deserved sense of accomplishment, just my own OCD kicking in.
Nice job. I have to say. I reckon at least some of the space should be devoted to display cabinets for some cool stuff that you like, Adam Savage style. That would be awesome. 👍
I love your workshop and can't wait for the connection to the other one! The ceiling looks fantastic and really helps the aesthetic. It seems like it'll help with your lighting and filming. It's also very professional looking. Great Job, Sam! Please though, don't mix and match storage too much. It will look better, function better and film better if you are consistent with colors and styles. Also, please keep the walls as clear as possible so that filming and pictures aren't clumsy and chaotic looking.
Congratulations Sam. Like you said. Tonne of hard graft but man, the outcome is awesome. Still think a ceiling gangtry camera system would be amazing in there. Would make the filming of all your projects so much easier without having to reposition tripod's, clamp clips etc. Look forward to the work bench build. 👍
I can't tell you how happy I am to see that you finished this job but the most important thing to me is the ramp your son built for you!! 1.) It's really good for his confidence. 2.) You will forever have those memories and memories worth more than anything in the world. 3.) GREAT JOB, SAM!!!
Absolutely Mint 👍👌👍👌👍
Man am i every happy to see how far things have come along !i know the amount of work and perseverance it requires , the planning and execution, your layout is brilliant simple and clean man ! Beautiful job!!! From a fellow builder ! And your sons idea is genius chip off the ol block 😎you the MAN SAM!
Much appreciated!
No, that ramp is huge.. Father and son connections can never be overrated :)
Congratulations on finishing such a large project! And filming every step!
Very nice would like to see you move in.
Fantastic workshop Sam, think you will regret not having sockets above worktop level but thats just my oppinion, love the ramp your boy built :)
I think completing such a massive project in just 3 months was a huge achievement Sam. It's awesome! Well Done!
WooHoo! Grand opening!
I learned so much. You worked your butt off. Great job.
I have shop space envy!
Looks amazing Sam can't wait for furture video's
Great job Sam..........enjoy that new shop!
Nice Work. You did a GREAT job.
The ramp was/is excellent my favorite
Awesome space, well done Sam ❤
Looks Great! Look forward to seeing how you lay out equipment.
You have my dream workshop.
Looks amazing. Congrats on all the hard work 😊
Spectacular series. Thank you, and well done.
it is an Amazing space, I look forward to watching more , Great Job
Well done..can't wait to see what the future will bring out of this space for you.
Well done Sam. It looks fabulous.
Looks great Sam. Well done. Very inspiring. 😊
Great job Sam. Really nice. Love the ramp 👍❤️

So jealous, this is an awesome looking shop. I like the ceiling and let's be honest, it's a shop it's not your living room. Good job

Good information !!! You have excellent camera presence !! There is an expression " don't let the perfect get in the way of the good "!!!
Your workshop is so nice. I’d work in there all day. Thanks for sharing - I love to see what you all are doing on the homestead.
Sam, I would advise to put locking wheels on all your work tables it will help you with your workflow where you can move table to your equipment etc.
Looks awesome. Know I don’t know if I want to watch laser stuff or you building workshops hahaha love all of your content!!!!
Great job! Cleat wall for sure! Sam, you are seriously a hard worker! That blocking would have killed lesser men, LOL!
I like the ceiling. I like the whole shop.
It looks great Sam, you did awesome job. I'm glad that you finished it up on the windows. Because you know you probably would've never gone back to finish it up So now it's done and that's a huge accomplishment .
Looks great Sam .
Congratulations on the completion.
I wanna know where your fridge and thinking 🤔 recliner will go ? Probably near the big screen tv huh 👍😃. Awesome build Sam 👍👍👍👍👍.
Great video Sam congratulations

VOLTAIRE: PERFECT IS THE ENEMY OF THE GOOD .
I put RustOlium oil-based paint on my plywood floor. Wears like iron and looks great. It will take a couple of days to dry since it is oil-based. Two gallons would do your floor. A second coat is optional, it would make it better since the wood is pretty dry.
Whoo! Can't wait to see the space fill up with new toys and builds. Good job Sam!
First CONGRATULATIONS!!! My way of thinking is that sub standard plywood flooring should be cut out and replaced. It will nag you until you do. Get it behind you now. Totally happy for you and your family. You got your first class shop and they got their Dad and Husband back 🙂
Basically from an old carpenter don't just fill it up. Give yourself time. In time you will find it getting full. Congratulations.

Sam you have created a real nice space for yourself.
Job well done Sam and co. I think it will inspire you to try new things, the sky's the limit! 👍
So excited for the tour; here we go!
You did an amazing job in 3 months.
I vision "rest area" in one of the corners with TV and comfortable seating. After all, this shop could also be a "mancave" especially with three men in your family. Sam you are such a good spokesperson. I love listening to your explanations. Such a good job on this project.
Awesome job can’t wait to see it filled.
Wow. That was an excellent price for those guys to put that OSB and metal roofing down.
Hi Sam, I am so appreciative that you and your family have such a lovely workshop for your family homestead. God is good and you are blessed! Enjoy your workshop! 🕊🌟
Sam that is beautiful. Great job! You should be very proud. And your wife and sons get my praise as well 🙂
Sam, I was going to suggest you put a thin molding over those ceiling joints. Like 1/4" thick x 1" wide or so. Painted the same color. That would fix the issue and give you a bit of an artistic feel.
Looks great Sam not to mention how gelous I am. Looking forward to all the great projects you will undertake. 👍👍
Nice work Sam! Congratulations on finishing the build.
GOOD JOB SAM! SO GLAD YOU VIEWED THE FINISHING THE ROOF! YOUR NEW WORKSHOP IS A REALLY “GEM.” GOD Bless !! 🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
Nice job. Plenty of room for the future and wherever life takes Samcraft down the road. I like the 5' door idea but aren't you still limited by the old shop door which was only around 44" ?
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and the workshop
You got a hell of a deal on that roofing bid
Add some 1x2 on the roof to cover up the gaps to give you that finished look
My only advice is put wheels on your equipment till you settle on their final location because you will move things around a lot at first..
And as for the laser engravers... I hang mine on the wall (the manageable size ones) and when I need them I have wall attached tables that open up(then pull away from the wall) and I put the laser engravers on them to do the job..
Other than that ....Don't Sweat the small stuff!!! :)

I also received bad lumber from Home Depot when building my deck it was old damage discolored wood. It got replaced after long discussions , poor quality lumber will not buy lumber from there again. However your shop looks very well built.
Sam, you are such a natural 'educator', very at ease, so articulate. Pleasure to listen to - laced with humour!
🎉 YAY YOU!!! 🎉
It looks amazing Sam!!!
Have fun setting up all your toys and organizing to where you can find what you're looking for.
Congratulations Issac for building your Dad a ramp! 🤜
Big hugs and big love!
Have a blessed week!
✌️💖🙏🇺🇲✡️✝️🙌
It's incredible that it's only been a few months, I've watched every part, and I'm so happy to hear that you are going to start making things for it.
It's a fantastic workshop space and you should be rightly proud of the hard work and final finish. Very well done and looking forward to seeing it kitted out. 👏👍👍👍
Make sure you put plenty of coats of sealant on the floor will be easy to keep clean.
It will be enjoyable watching you move in, finding the right place for your equipment, and work on projects.
You may just be a trendsetter. I would and probably will use the chip lap-style ceiling in my next workshop build. In fact, there may be a portion of the house that I may rebuild like a laundry room and a mudroom that it will be going into. Trendsetter, you may just be!
Looks great. Baseboard trim will be a great detail. Nice work Sam.
Great Job Sam. You need to mark out a space on the wall for some ART.
I’m glad for you. Congratulations on finishing some hard work.
Looks awesome! Need to paint the floors gray so your camera can white balance easier. Yellow floors are throwing it off.
Awesome job Sam, that is going to be an amazing sh. Congratulations 🎉
That looks good. If it doesn’t negatively affect the outcome of your projects I say it doesn’t matter.
Wow! Even better than your shop on the old property. Great job!
It’s awesome Sam…Anyone wanting/needing a workshop would be absolutely thrilled to have this build. I’m sure it will serve you well!
Wow, you did an amazing job, you could even have a party 🎉 in there, congratulations 🎊🎉🎈
I am very proud of your craftsmanship build of your new workshop. I'm sure you are as well. Nice to know you have people in your life to keep you on the straight and narrow on this build as well. May God bless you and yours.

Still a great job, Sam! Let's getter done!
What a fabulous series Sam...you and your family must be very proud (and broke)... Best wishes from Paul in the UK

Sam, that color on the ceiling is very calming!!! I dispise white ceilings!!!
Glad your finished but a valuable lesson, the reason we no longer use OSB or plywood, zip sheeting is a much better option
You've worked so hard on this, Sam, and should be extremely proud of yourself! I hope you will have a chance to take a few days OFF!
Looks soooooooooo good! You will fill the space quicker than you know. ❤❤❤❤
Fantastic job sam glad your complete love your videos wish l had videos like this back in 1986 when I was building my house renovation.
Congratulations Sam. Like you said. Tonne of hard graft but man, the outcome is awesome.
Still think a ceiling gangtry camera system would be amazing in there. Would make the filming of all your projects so much easier without having to reposition tripod's, clamp clips etc.
Look forward to the work bench build. 👍
Congrats, Sam! This was a fun project! You are growing your business, for sure! 👏👍✨😍❤
Excellent job Sam, I’m envious of all that space
Wow congratulations you did it. You did one hell of a job. Good for you Sam. Enjoy your new shop.
Build a nice porch with a ramp 4'x8' steps straight out and ramp on wall side
Got to make room for a fridge!
