Building My DREAM Workshop! THE NEW SKID FACTORY! 🛠️

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Over the last 6 years The Skid Factory has operated out of Al's shed.
This being a residential address and Al's personal space meant that if I were too continue The Skid Factory I needed to find somewhere else to continue producing content for the channel.
There's two options here.
1: Turn the channel off and don't produce anymore content?
2: Find a new workspace, Build a workshop, Work my ass off and keep releasing videos to our awesome audience? You know I'm going to give it a crack so it might as well be a good one!
This brand new 180㎡ Tilt slab shed features a 40㎡ mezzanine which will be transformed into a studio/ office workspace. The remaining 140㎡ is to be converted into functioning workshop where we can continue to work on anything automotive related to keep The Skid Factory channel alive!
Without the help of my friends and family this workshop wouldn't be anything where it is now! Thankyou so much to everyone who's helped me along the way, It means to world to me! ❤️

Please note: We're just a couple of Mates hanging out in the shed, There's no big production companies, fancy cameras or Scripts, We love what we do and try our best to create quality content for you to enjoy every week. Sometimes that includes a steering rack conversion, Other times it's as simple as bolting on some wheels to our daily drivers. Don't forget that working on cars isn't easy and can be dangerous. Use Ya Brain and take the necessary safety precautions whenever you're modifying your car. Consume Lemon Squash responsibly & Thanks for watching. #WORKSHOP #FRESHSTART #NEW

    Some more suggestions from helping a mate set up his new workshop... (some are more suited to a working business workshop, but included them anyway) * Painted walls - Light colours will improve lighting bounce and make it look much more cleaner / professional. * Painted waistline of a darker colour from the floor level to at least a metre or two. It's surprising how fast the walls will get very dirty. (especially behind benches / grinding areas, areas that may get exhausts blowing onto them. * Once you work out how many power points you need, - double it... you can never have too many power points. - Try to have at least two or three different circuits if possible. * Roof Mounted or Wall mounted oscillating industrial fans will help lots with air-flow. - Air con will be expensive to run and hard to cool downstairs, but a few stategically placed fans will do wonders in the QLD summers, Roof whirly birds too to help with the heat extraction. * The move to mainly battery hand held tools means that air lines are becoming a thing of the past - but if you have to run them - try having them up high from the roof or over the working levels via steel cables from one side to the other - keeps them MUCH cleaner and off the ground and out of the way etc * Oil Waste tank/s - the closer to the front door (or 44Gal drums on dollys) are much easier to get the waste collection guys to collect them. * A few door mats securely attached to the first 3 or 4 treads on the steps will help keep the office carpet / floor clean when walking from the workshop to upstairs.. * Rag / Towel dispenser near the stairs also so you can quickly wipe your hands if you need to run upstairs, saves grubby marks of the upstairs wall/ doors / door handles etc. * chain / portable / retractable barrier in front of the garage roller door to encourage visitors to use the front door instead of the roller door. - Doorbell for couriers / visitors if you don't want randoms just walking in. * security - cameras everywhere.. (bonus is you can use some of the footage as unique b-roll) * raised floor sections / berms / speed bump type things to contain spills like coolant from running into the "clean areas"

    So stoked for you Woody! A couple of things you might want to consider- 1) standards door locks are super easy to pick, you might want to swap for a high security one. Bilock are an Aussie company that make high security locks 2) these new build units are often sized so that the owner isn’t required to have fire hose reels, might want to look at having a bunch of large extinguishers 3) go nuts with the insulation in your office, you can also get plasterboard with higher insulation to help things 4) Rockwool or acoustic panelling will help reverb in the workshop. You can fit it to walls and hang it from the ceiling Can’t wait to see what’s next for TSF!

    Was thinking the same thing on the locks - he's got some pretty desirable cars in there now, not to mention all the tools and parts - also saw someone recommend parking the forklift against the inside of the roller door which is great advice. Too many scumbags around these days so everything you can do to make it hard for them is good.

    Not as fireproof as you might think. They don't burn, but when exposed to surface fire for any length of time, they "spawl" off flakes and chunks as the moisture inside boils off, weakening them till they collapse. If the fire is hot enough, those walls should be safe for a while, though.

It takes a lot of guts to knock down the sandcastle and build it again. Well done. Also I would like to say thanks to Al for his advice not only on camera but the messages over the journey.

    Woody, you are absolutely blessed to have so many people willing and able to help you out with your new place. Treasure those people forever. 2 years ago my neighbour burned down his shop which mine backed onto and did enough damage to mine that my landlord had to pull the whole lot down. I rebuilt my shop in a larger space, 300m sq. but I had to do absolutely everything on my own and I have to admit it was a huge struggle. It's been almost a year since I got the keys of my new place and whilst I've moved into it and have been working there, it's still not finished.

    Well done mate. The hoists are the tricky bit. I'm glad you put the pallet racking on the side. The thrid hoist is the killer. The two down back are fine, but i find find that where the cars rolled off the trailer sets the location. The Ford on the slight angle and the Commodore straight on. BUT, do you need the third one at the front? I'd leave it and see. I think that space is too valuable to fill if it is not essential, and even if you don't know how it will be used yet. A cramped space will stress you out. One regret/problem everyone has is "i need more space".

    Why? It would have been far more practical to have the racking on the back wall and a bit down the side. The thing he is going to use most the tool boxes are down one end of the shed meaning a long walk to the front car, they would have been far better off being where the racking is, because they would be central to all the hoists. On top of which you have narrowed even further the narrowest distance, the tool boxes on the side would allow for easier car movement.

    This is bloody brilliant Woody. You're making it happen! I would definitely have a dedicated fab section (nothing crazy) somewhere away from cars you can cut/weld/smash/cry. Also, an easy access wet and dry vac, not buried away behind stuff, quick access for the inevitable spills. Do anything you can to get rid of flat surfaces that will bounce sound. if you can get a scissor lift in, it'd pay to get some acoustic baffling on the ceiling and walls, would make a huge difference.

    This is so frikkin awesome dude, i wish I could like this video more times haha!! Thats a wicked space, and the window fit is 👌👌 if 3 hoists is absolutely necessary, maybe even a 4 post where Kevo is. I think doing a 2 post as the Fairlane sits in the video is a good move, you will have much easier access to the lift without having to move anything else. The 3rd hoist in the corner is questionable for the space imo. It's nice to have an area where a car can be all doors open, and space to still walk around it without being in the driveway. Could even look at one of the hydraulic scissor lifts for stuff that doesn't necessarily need to be on the hoist, and have it stored up in the pallet racking when you don't need it. But if the 3rd hoist makes more sence, I get that, just sucks how much floor space they suck up. Thought about a small clean room down the back off the side of the dunny area? Or even a sectioned off half booth? We all know you love to paint a thing or two, so not a horrible idea. Anyway.... Harrop that Coyoteyy!!!

    A suggestion. Leave some area so you can put up a spray booth at times. I think you should be able to build something that is made up of thin wooden walls that can be assembled/disasembled along with exhaust fans.

    Hey man so jealous congratulations. As for workshop layout i personally would only have two lifts to leave a little more space for fab but thats just me. And i would with some painters tape mark out where your lifts will sit and then get the forklift into the racking to make sure you can get around them and not going to have inaccessible space you will regret. Can’t wait to see whats to come

    Call it "Skid Factory Too". Looks awesome. How about a 4x4 winch on the floor behind main hoist to help pull random projects into the shed? Or just a winch block there and pull stuff in using the fork with a doubled line of pull? Hope Al can be a celebrity guest at the end of each project for a short "Al reviews" episode to give his thoughts on Woodies creations. Best of luck!

    Ah this is fantastic Woody! I'm so stoked for you! I can't imagine how awesome it is to finally have a shop of your own! For some recommendations I'd get some blinds and bars for the doors/windows downstairs so people don't see what's inside and can't easily get in, also investing in an alarm goes a long way especially with the cars/tools that will be in there. Someone put a brick through the window of our old shop and stole a lot of tools, thankfully they didn't have the brains to use the angle grinder to cut the door locks and take the cars. I'd also look into getting a spill kit, if you have any big messes it helps to be able to put some bunding around the bathroom/storage areas if something goes really wrong. I'd say that AC and insulation for upstairs will be a must, especially once you have the computer up there for editing since it'll be heating the room up as well. Lastly I'd say that while I think 3 lifts is super rad I'd be concerned about how tight it is getting into the shop, it looks like a floor jack needs to get involved to help make the turn, but I' haven't been there so I'll trust yours and everyone else's judgement! Again, I'm so excited for you Woody, and I can't wait to see what projects come next!

    When you go to network the upstairs, go full Ubiquiti gear and you will not be disappointed, Woody. A bit exxy, but worth every last cent you pay for it. Also, 25mm gyprock (Shaft Liner - usually for elevator shafts or party walls) - will help with sound transmission to be kind to your neighbours (and stop any of their sound coming in). Like others have said - Rockwool insulation is pretty boss. I would sheet behind it with foilboard for QLD summers. Run double insulation, then thick gyprock/wall sheets. For the quiet office area of course, the whole area would be expensive af.

    I agree on the Ubiquiti front. You could look to get a UniFi Dream Machine Pro - fit some hard drives, get some Ubiquiti cameras and then you have CCTV etc in your shop too.

    This was a fantastic episode. Absolutely frothing watching it and it’s not even mine. Can’t imagine how stoked you are. Great seeing mates coming together to help out. Leave space for future pallet racking along the back. That stuff should never be under rated. Where it gets high, and the forklift doesn’t reach, make some rungs into the sides of the uprights and have shorter shelving on those levels to climb through. Keep stored crates and stuff forward and leave a gap along the back to safely access the stored stock.

    For what it's worth, I may be in the minority, but my favorite episodes Are the simple basic stuff Not the exciting extravagant stuff, like when Al took apart a used wiring harness and redid it, or building a log manifold out of steam pipe. Al changed me from being terrified of "modern" automotive to wanting to tackle an efi conversion on my 87 Samurai. Favorite quote from Al, "every wire just goes to a place"

    It's looking great woody! Only thing I could think to suggest would be to reinforce the roof of the water closet now so that you're not worried about doing double duty for storage. You've got tires there now, but you don't want to have to worry/think twice about stacking something a big heavier up there if needed. The other thing I'll say, is that there's something nice about having the pallet racks on the right side, as it gives a similar "stage" feel as Al's shed. Obviously couldn't have planned it that way. But it's a nice touch.
