I'm too poor to ever do something like this, but the secondhand pride I get from this content inspires future ideas. You might not need to hear this, but this kind of content (long or shorter form) is what hooks new people in. Never forget that the challenges and the learning process is what a lot of people find enjoyable, because it makes us feel more apart of the ride. Keep it up lad

FEI, when re-identifying white or grey neutrals as hot wires, you need to do it everywhere the wire is accessible or visible, not just the load center. So at both ends and every j-box or pull point it runs through you need to wrap it with black or red tape, paint it, use a Sharpie, etc. That also only applies to the white or gray conductor in a cable. When you're pulling individual conductors, you can't re-identify a white or gray conductor and use it as a hot. In that case, buy more black or red THHN.

Wow!!! So much time, money and your knowledge and skills went into this. You have a great shop and my full respect.

This is the first time I watched a KZread video, that was over an hour long, I actually enjoyed watching, I loved the attention to detail where it was needed.. Great job, Love the new shop so far.. Thank you for sharing..

The sight of that split double topplate transition (by the capped gas line) from 2x4 to 2x6 that is unstrapped will haunt my dreams for ever.

I can see myself ( because I'm a lefty, too ) in many of the scenes where things were done contrary to the norm. Usually this is a more well thought-out process, sometimes not, the section of plywood scaffolding falling and almost breaking a leg comes to mind as being one! Thank God! Somebody must be living right or just extremely lucky. Now you have an excellent place to create masterpieces, as soon as you replace the Dewalt tools with Bosch!

I started construction 38 years ago, before joist hangers were really a thing. We always used bond timber and I just never really trusted the joist hangers as much. Guess I’m old school and like the tried and true. 😂 And you’ve never seen cut nails? I never used a 2 pound hammer, all I used a 22 ounce east wing.

WOW, what an awesome achievement. I also think the porch has forever changed the look and intended purpose of the shop. Can I also give solid props to Ray. The guy just has heart, he has been pushing shit uphill with his type 1 forever but still does everything with a smile.

This was the first time I came across one of your videos, and you earned my subscription at the part when you mentioned because you plan on giving classes later, you wanted to be sure the space was fully accessible for wheelchair users. I love how you did the quad outlets, splitting the outlets on two separate circuits. When we renovated one of our kitchens, (I own a two family home) I have two quads at the kitchen counter, and they are both split like that. Absolutely love what you did with the building, and truly appreciated at the end you told us how long it all took.

My son has a 4000 plus sq ft cabinet shop here in Florida. It is a production type shop, where he produces cabinets primarily, but also custom trim for his customers. I cant even imagine him operating in a shop finished to the degree that this shop is. Im assuming it will be used as a class room more so than a production type shop ? None the less you did a very nice job on it. I watch quite a few of the Perkins Bros. videos as well. They are good mechanics, and that shows up in their work.

@@craftedworkshop Well, all the best with your new venture. From my observations, id say that a great many of the shops on KZread are more of a hobby variety than they are a working variety. All the nice tools and such showcased on the walls do make a nice backdrop. But they arent very practical in a real world production shop. Aside from a charging station and some type of a proper cutting setup, there isnt much else to showcase. As production increases, and more large machinery is added in order to meet the demands, the shop layout is apt to be changed anyway. Lumber storage also eventually becomes an issue. First off, in order to be competitive, it needs to be bought in bulk lots, not just job lots. That means multiple pallets of lumber and plywood being bought and stored. That also means that most even large variety lumber racks become obsolete. It also means that a forklift is necessary for off loading and moving lumber from place to place. How many youtube videos show or even talk about any of that?

Bro, you have some AWESOME FRIENDS!

First and foremost, I just want to say that this was an incredibly great video! We've seen the entire workshop transform from a dilapidated storage space into a dream workshop for us hobby carpenters. I'm really looking forward to seeing cool projects being made here! I'm studying to become a civil engineer and I was just wondering about something; why didn't you choose to have a moisture barrier behind the studs on the east side of the building, since this was a wall with moisture issues? Another thing; if you notice that the CNC room gets a bit noisy, you might consider adding EPS/XPS insulation to reduce flanking transmission through the floor. Anyway, I just want to say that the workshop looks fantastic and the video was informative and fun to watch!

@craftedworkshop

5 ай бұрын

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! The closed cell spray foam acted as the moisture barrier there. That combined with the Drylok and PT lumber should mean no long term issues with moisture. I still haven't built the doors for the CNC room but good tip!

@chmedlychmedenstein916

4 ай бұрын

I'm not completely sure that I understand what you're suggesting for sound iso (the floor above or below?) but, I'll proffer this info. Closed cell foam board isn't usually helpful for sound. It doesn't 'absorb' sound like a fibrous or porous material does (fiberglass etc). And it has virtually no mass so it doesn't help in reflecting sound back except at high frequencies which is usually not the issue between rooms. But you're right on target wrt flanking paths. This is why sound isolation is so hard. One little gap somewhere can undermine a huge amount of cost and effort. I can almost guarantee that his doors are going to be the weak point. Any door that will not be the weak point will cost him an incredible amount of money and will not be easy to open and close. Lastly, it's not clear to me where his dust collector is going to live. With a real spindle on the CNC, the primary noise source is the DC, especially low frequency noise that is hard to isolate.

@djosearth3618

4 ай бұрын

best way to mediate noise is to stop it at the board by floating the board on the studding on top of thickening. Zoning and segregating always beats just money into material to try and create utter barrier by way of force. like heck why not just go outside and start loading clay into the cavity :P

Yeah, this is really huge and it's very impressive. I also did the same with my 50 year old workshop which was build 1970, so I totally know that feeling. Keep it up 👍👍

This comment is of course someone after the fact. However some 45 years ago, when I was a much younger carpenter. I was helping an older carpenter install a large acoustical ceiling tile job. Once we had the furring strips all installed, he brought out a couple of cloth aprons. He then poured a decent amount of corn starch in both sides of the aprons. We put on our aprons. And then instructed me to occasionally put my fingers in my apron, and grind them in the cornstarch. It kept my fingers extremely clean, and of course kept the tiles from showing any fingerprints also. Great video. I enjoyed watching your 3D layout and hard work come to fruition.😅

It's nice to see pro's working vs DIY vibes. Only thing i thought worth mentioning since painting new stuff is common and someone else might benefit - RE: this job's "Caulking - - in painting is usually called "gap filling" and uses acrylic "no more gaps" etc vs - finishing the gaps between painted and unpainted surfaces which is done with silicone like caulking and a pop-stick) - the gap filling for painting is much better done AFTER the primer coat - it doesn't bond well to surfaces that havent been done and can start to peel out over time and is a hassle to deal with because it doesn't sand and it sticks in little bits - it's much easier to get a smooth surface on the gap filler because bare timber etc sucks moisture out of it and gives a rough edge to the filler The primer also fills a little of the gap so sit's a bonus and easier to gap Not important here for shop as far as finish but not extra work so just an order of operation thing and quicker anyway Main thing is the filler lifting out of the gap over time because it bonds to primer - not bare surface
