What a pleasant man and a wonderful shop. This is a man who is valuable in many ways. Thank you for asking him to share his shop with us, and for taking the time to post it Joshua.

Many years after you posted, but simply delightful. I hope you enjoyed the years working in that space. Love the fact that your concentrated on the light.

If there's a nicer shop, or a finer gentleman... I've neither seen one... or met one... I'm going to bed happy! Thank you for this video!

I've seen bigger shops. Or even bigger shops with more tools and equipment in them. I don't know if that makes them any nicer though. I imagine the people that own those shops think they're nicer. Or they wouldn't have went through all of the bother.

Well Rick, you just saved me from writing a comment lol. Greetings from the UK John.

Simply wonderful - I too could spend 7 days a week in that shop! Thank you for sharing your shop with us.

A dream shop put together by a great craftsman.

Jim, you are my new hero. You got me with "you never have enough clamps"

Beautiful shop Jim!.....and thank you for your service.

Dream shop, understatement

Wonderful. Clean, functional, light and bright. Smart design. Love it.

Love your shop, love all the windows bringing the light and the landscape in. I love your work too. Much more success. Thanks for sharing.

I only wish we could have seen more of the beautiful projects that James produced in his piece of heaven.

Fantastic looking shop, and one great craftsman with great attitude! Win combo!

Very much a dream shop - lots of space, lots of light. I especially like the magnetic chisel holder/tray - think I'll have to make one of those.

I could sit and listen to this nice guy all day,

Thanks for the great show tour! Jim's work is really beautiful!

Love the way he got his start!

Beautiful space and work James, thanks for the tour. Obviously you know what you want and have planned ahead, I like it!

That is wonderful! No wonder you are so proud and wanted to share with us dreamers.

I've never seen a shop this clean and pleasing to the eyes!

Beautiful shop and beautiful work!

Thank you for sharing you have a wonderful workshop. Respect!!!

What a beautiful masterpiece!

Mr. Huggett, your shop is the envy of many garage and basement shop owners. There can never be too much light and I very much agree with your window and lighting design. I look forward to reviewing your other videos. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing and having us

What a wonderful work space,beautifully set out and airy.

This is one of the best laid out shop's I have seen. All that planning paid off.

What a well thought out shop! Love the building itself! Wonderful design! Lots of goodies inside. Beautiful shop. Completely jealous. Lol

What a lovely place for you to create, many blessings .

What a wonderful space to work in, seems like one terrific guy!

Love the shop and all the light and high ceiling. My shop is welding and metal fabrication. Dirty work sometimes but I too spend 7 days a week in the shop. Thanks for the tour.

In addition to a magnificent shop, I love the building. My wife would like a larger version for our dream house. That’s how much we like your design. Great video and a perfect shop

Really nice shop! The furniture you showed was very beautiful! Thank you.

Total thanks James

Beautiful Shop. Thanks for showing it off.

A terrific shop! Thanks for the tour.

Great space! Thanks for the tour.

That’s the kind of artisan I long to be. Completely content and passionate about my art with such a gentle/relaxed demeanor. What an inspiring shop and maker. Thanks for sharing.

I am envious. What a great place to work. I love wood working but my shop is too small to have what you have. What a place. I know you love that shop.

Your furniture is beautiful and I love your shop !

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm about to build a shop and your just what I needed for a number of your ideas,

Wow, I was already very impressed by this undertaking, all the years of preparation and forethought, but then when he said he uses Sketchup for designing the furniture, that blew away the stereotypes I had in my mind about masters of crafts who, for so many years, have used physical tools so skillfully with their hands; I can barely use 3D modeling software (even that is an exaggeration), and he just said it like it is no big deal at all, as though it's actually just another tool like his physical tools. Utter and complete respect!

Love the cupola with the attic fan. I have the same idea for my future shop.

Great shop great design I’d kill to work there every day 😂 you look to be a great craftsman thank you for the video 👍🏻

Painted white interior is a great idea, and one that I share. It’s a great way to keep the interior very bright.

It is always interesting to look at other shops. I designed and built mine ground up after many years in the same sort of cramped and too small spaces. Great looking place and I am sure it will suit you well for many years to come.

Soo nice.

That's a very nice work shop. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice ,two things that tell a good woodworker is how clean a shop is and how organized a shop is. Your shows both.

Very nice workshop, it was a joy to watch this video. Thank you

Beautiful shop, thanks for sharing.

What a wonderful shop, thank you for sharing.

I loved everything about the shop except the DC system. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice place its so matured and "fathery"

Love the design and layout. You've allowed for the next owner to use the space as they see fit. An artist's studio or a billiard room,etc. Makes me yearn for my own shop.

Fantastic setup. Beautiful work!

Put a bed in there and a loo and you have my dream house.....I mean shed!!! You even have a shed off your shed. I salute you!

love the shop, thanks for sharing

I can do things 30 days a month in a shop like yours. Thanks for sharing your New England cultural heritage too. Never better. Miss my Connecticut.

Love it this is really something!! Enjoy your retirement! I’m in the process of building a workshop I my basement

OMG I feel so exciting watching the master making of masterpiece

Beautiful space!

That is one hell of shop! I have quite a few of the same tools...the Sawstop and the DeWalt planer...I ended up needing to upgrade my little 6 inch table top jointer and going with the Hammer A41 jointer/planer combo. It is freaking awesome! I still have the DeWalt but don't use it any more. Thanks for giving us the tour and your work is impressive!

What a nice guy. We all should be so lucky

Very very nice shop. Thank you for sharing.

So beautiful . Like a dream to me . Thx. For sharing it with us .

Man if only i could build my dream shop ! Very nice set up sir !!!!

That's a fantastic tip about the little moisture wicking packets.

Absolutely Amazing!😍😍😍😍I wish I could get my husband to get half this serious about a workshop! Genius design! Great ideas! Best place in the world to be! I would never go on vacation!

It has to come from within. Because ultimately it is a labor of love that you do have to pour yourself into wholeheartedly.

Sir it would be an honor to be your apprentice! You’re an inspiration!

NICE SHOP, THIS also is my dream. Greetings from Mexico

Hi James, another Huggett here, or I should say here in Western Australia. Love woodworking and seeing the results of a craftsman... your workshop looks like it would help in that endeavour. Have done very little myself.

I do the same with with the desiccant packs. Works great for my Stanley #45 collection so far

awesome shop sir!! definintely something of this sort is in my future

Beautiful shop, easy to tell that its a culmination of years of design.

Absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing! New subscriber!

Beautiful shop.

Nice shop. Thanks for the tour.

Beautiful

Brilliant love it

Not to mention the incredible works of art/furniture -IMO-thanx for sharing such a cool video!

Very nice sir . I found it very informative sense I am trying to design a small shop for myself.

When I turn on my ceiling lights I can get my shop bright. Sometimes I want to grope around in the dark like a mole too though. So I have a lot of task lighting setup.

A nice place to hang around, simple beautiful and peaceful, I like the fan on the ceiling, it is common on the southern states works better than any AC or ventilation system

Love it.

Nice! Now he can mark dream furniture.

Wow! I know it is an old video but I just found it today! It’s amazing, I would like to build something similar in my backyard, smaller infortunatelly! Anyway, I hope this comment finds you well in these difficult time! Good day!

You had me when I first saw the exterior. Absolutely beautiful. Then inside...I am jealous. I added a 22x22 foot shop to the end of my house, and have to get stingy about floor space. You have given me some great ideas for my place. I really like the LED track lighting for the perimeter.

22x22 isn't bad. I'm in a 20x20 garage now and I could use an extra couple of feet. Really I could use a 20x60 building.

Man knows what he's doing.

Impressive shop...I hope I can have something like that one day. You are very talented

Nice shop. I spotted Festool it was AWESOME!

Excellent video

Fantastic shop and a Navy man too. I’m USS Midway.

Really nice shop !!

What a great video. Thank you

Awesome shop mate!

Hey James, I am so jealous of your wood shop.

Well let me first by saying this was wonderful video. Second James I am sure we could only wish to have achieved what you have in our lives. you have given me new hope for my retirement sir. Such a nice man, I do love your shop and the way you designed it. The ceiling fan was a great idea, same with the dust collection. I also agree with you on the tubing I do not want that either I like the fact pull out the hose hook up and put it back. I mean most times we only operate one machine at time. We might go from one to another but hooking up a hose is not that hard.. Thank you James for taking us through your workshop. I will say Wood and Shop has done some real nice work in showing folks shops off. All the best sir.. Look forward to you next video. I would love to see some more of you work as well.

Thanks Richard. Very kind

Very nice .Not a lot of clutter. A simple layout is sometimes more efficient than having a ton of equipment crammed into a small area. A very mature attitude contributes to a fine tuned operation.
