Small Workshop Organization and Layout Idea

- My shop projects are all about fixing problems I find as I spend more time in the shop. In this video, I address a lack of tool storage and workshop layout issue I've dealt with for too long.

Nice to see someone make "shop" cabinets/counters. Seems like far too many people get caught up on building stuff that's better and costlier than the cabinets in 98% of kitchens. Yours look good and a are functional. Not to mention lower cost. Which let's you put money towards more important items. Thanks for the video!
This is one of my favorite comments in a while, thank you!
And for the record, they’re holding up great.
At some point, that top will warp where the gaps are between the shims. If that happens, and you replace the top, I would suggest leveling the legs instead. Find the high spot in the floor, and mark level across the wall. Run all the legs up to it, leveling and shimming as needed. When you put the top back on, it will now be flat on the supports.
Well done! I have a small shop as well, I will be implimenting this the save space. It looks clean and very functional!
Nice n a simple build……greetings from down under Australia…..stay safe….be watching your channel….
I like the frame build. That gave me a great idea for the day bed I need to build.
Thanks!
Great job your video was a great help. A lot of the time RUclipsrs talk as the build. Yours were great watching and listening was way more helpful 👍🏼
I enjoyed watching the time lapse of you use sketch up to design it. Subscribed ❤
Work bench came out great..👍
This guy is low key hilarious. Great video!
You're gonna need some ventilation behind that fridge. I made that mistake once.
Once.
Great idea.
Great project! Way better use of the space!
I'm surprised you had to shim the worktop. It's pretty easy to get it all level before you get to that stage. Keep woodworking and improving
Great job! I think I will try something like this in my shop.
Thank you! I hope it works well for you!
Good job!
Awesome! Gave me an idea for my garage shop
Hope it works out well for you!
@@nwbuilds thanks brother
Great solution to your specific needs. I think I would have leveled all the "legs" before attaching them to the wall thus avoiding the shimming of the top.
Thank you! Yeah, I think that I could've done that better. It would be difficult to square them prior to install based on the construction method. But if that was a bigger priority, I may have added identical stretchers to everything and then level them together. Overall though, I'm very happy with the end product and have no regrets on it.
nice work 💯
Nice solution to one of those oddball spaces we always seem to be stuck with in setting up a shop. I particularly like the frame/ panel construction for the sides and middle dividers. Didn't know Freud made the box joint set and will look into it. My shop floor is WAY too uneven, so I would likely need to assembly the frames as a unit with a toe kick/ platform (and a few stretchers) to set the whole deal on. The pocket whole frame assembly also seems like a great 'practice' project for other 2x lumber.
Thank you! I've been really happy with it since. Yes, this was a great way to get rid of some of the scrap 2x material that was just laying around.
I haven't had another dado stack, but I've been very happy with this one so far.
Just watched your video - good job on the project and nice video quality.
Thank you!
Well done
Your supervisor keeps checking on you lol🇬🇧
Awesome.
Very similar to my smaller basement L-shaped shop (~400 sq. ft.), but I got a super deal on Rockler steel shop stands for my bases. I topped & sided them with 3/4" plywood and edge banded with pine just like you did. Nice and robust.
11:22... single best cheaper purchase I made was a 25' heavy duty electrical reel cord that I mounted in the ceiling dead center of my shop above my table saw outfeed/assembly table (12GA, full 15A, not those cheap 10A models that the builtin breakers trip all the time) . I can pull the cord anywhere and reach every inch of the space, even though I have outlets all around each wall.
I recently did that with a hose reel for my air compressor from harbor freight and am very happy with it.
I'd get an extension cord reel too but I have enough outlets in my shop that I almost never need an extension chord lol.
fire is a big hazard in any workshop, hence planning is needed: fire extnguishers but also a garden water hose but in that case care must be given to electrical wiring, it runs on the floor and will get in contact with water...an overall breaker for the whole workshop would be required. Any ideas as fire exting. will last 30-40 seconds and the workshop is full of dried wood and sawdust. what would you recommend ?
Great ideas and video. Thank you. I'm thinking of doing something like this in my small workshop. Do you experience a need for doors (or something similar) to avoid dust coming into your drawers?
Good question! So I just have my systainers in these which have lids on them (they're boxes) so it's not a big deal. But there's very minimal saw dust on top of them when I pull them out anyways so I really wouldn't be worried about it?
Great project. I really enjoyed watching the build. You have to do something with the sound level on the video. It's impossible to listen to in headphones. Had to adjust up or down multiple times through the video. Especially when ads cut in with deafening loudness compared to the sound level of the narration.
Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback. So from your perspective, would the video sound level being higher resolve that? Being more aligned to what the ad volume is?
Did you leave enough space around the mini-fridge for air circulation ?
10 mn. I can relate.
Most floors are not perfectly square and level. Instead of shimming the countertop level most cabinet makers would use a footer and shim that level. This way you are building off a level platform for you cabinets to rest on. Shimming up the countertop like you did throws off the alignment of the cabinet and raises visual correction of floors lack of level from your toes upto a height where it becomes visually more obvious. While your method allowed you to utilize the full height between the countertop and the floor most people find having drawers or containers(systainers) raised a few inches easier to access.
Compared to my small shop in the UK, you are working in a barn. Try working in a 9 foot by 14 foot shop that has to double as storage space.
Sometimes I think how I'd just like 4 more feet (bald eagle wings spans) in both directions, and then I see othe shop tours or hear things like this and feel very thankful! 12x20 is a pretty standard one car garage/large shed over here.
what are the dimensions of your shop?
Such low volume throughout the video, until the sander when it blows out your eardrums 😂
Otherwise, nice and tidy job!
Is that a Brittany Spaniel? 😍
👍
It looked 100% like you biscuited the wrong side of the first part of the front finish?! 11:40
Lol i have the same wen air cleaner
A man doing work in sandals while wearing socks and uttering the phrase "came in clutch". Good instructional content, but sometimes the viewer has to suppress mild disappointment and watch on.
Asking this question to you too? Couldn’t we work in a space without the wood that awaits future projects hanging over our head and loitering in the corners around our feet?
👏🏻👍🏼🫶🏼
It is not small workshop.
This ain't a small workshop. This is rather large for most people...
Great project! Pro tip: if you're doing a voice over there's no reason to subject the viewer to a sander on full blast
My ears are ringing from that
