This episode was so extremely productive! Wow youve got a LOT done!

I can appreciate reaching the point where you're ready to be finished, but what a rush when you start working on your next projects.

I can’t think of a bigger endorsement of a product then Keith Brown buying not one but TWO brand new expensive drawers! Good for you Keith, you deserve it.

You regard £120 as expensive? Have you seen the price of kitchen cupboards? I, for one, spend more time in the workshop than the kitchen...

I have turned something over 1 metre long... about 1971, at school: a walnut standard lamp for my mother in two parts with a table for her thimbles, knitting needles, etc while she sat in her 'drawing room'. She asked me to make it. Used it till she died in 2012. Such a lathe would be vast machine for a typical UK workshop

Love a good rbb workshop reorganisation, just like the original shed where it all started

Bisley is the best purchase ever!

Wow. You seem to have created so much more space. That last shot of the whole workshop is brilliant. There are certainly some good ideas in there for the rest of us, too. Great job, as ever, Keith.

What is it about us humans... I laughed, but felt your pain when you were removing the metal wall cabinet and precariously balancing it on your head. I would've done the very same thing and faced at least 5 minutes in front of my good lady, explaining why I didn't ask for help. Your workshop is looking fantastic, and has given me some inspiration to crack on with mine 😊

I am so happy to see how far you have come. To think I found this channel from a dog house video, and now years later I still enjoy every video 🎉👏

Wow, thank you!

Hello from St Augustine Florida. Great video have followed you for a while. One thing I will say no matter how many cubby's you have for scrap wood you will never have enough.

So much space for activities! Bunk bed drawers next?

One of my favorite shades of blue.

I recently reorganised my shop. I got rid of my scroll saw, band saw, drill press, jointer. I have more space and have more fun building

What??? a nice blue!!! LOL I like the string solution for the Dust. I saw a video awhile back which used cut up bike inertube. That works well for me. About seven years ago, a client wanted turned legs for a dining table I was making. So I bought a lathe, sized for the legs. Then they changed there mind 😬. Since then I have upgraded a few times and can now tun up to 1.2m in length. Which I have used to make a pennant (flag) pole for a small boat. Large will do a little but little cannot do large. ( quote from Paul Sellers). I'm lucky I have the space.

Great video Keith as always, next secret project-extend workshop by 8 metres without the wife finding out 😜😊

Really got a lot done there! Just moved house myself so might have to steal a few ideas when setting the shop back up. I got a couple of those bisley metal units for I think £20 each from a second hand shop over a decade ago and they're stupidly useful.

It's looking good, a lot more user space a nice refit wall storage cabinets and shelving . Your workshop will work a lot better now , Great video 😀👍

Having room for activities is always a massive bonus.

Excellent episode. I confess I was hoping for 42 drawers.

Looking good! I made the same mistake when buying my first lathe. I got a Nova Galaxy, which is 16x44 inches. I've never turned anything close to 44" long (the max was a tool handle around 22" long), but I have wanted to turn bowls larger than 16" diameter. I scavenged some huge logs from downed trees after our big storms last winter. My advice would be to get something a lot shorter, but with as much "swing" (diameter) as you can fit in the space and are willing to pay for. A good alternative to a big, expensive lathe with a huge swing is a medium one (maybe 14-18") with the option to turn "outboard", by pivoting the headstock to the side or sliding it to the end of the bed. That is a great option for a small shop because when the lathe is in its normal setup it doesn't take up extra space.

Love the use of the family fortunes sound effect 😀

SO MUCH ROOM FOR ACTIVITIES!

Clever solution using the string and tap to fit the vacuum tubing. Overall, your shop reorganization is inspiring and appears to have been a great success. Congrats on your ability to make space from nothing! :)

Yep I liked that one too! I shall try this when I get round to sorting out my dust extraction properly as it's half done!

The reorganized workshop looks beautiful!! I love how everything is perfectly spaced out on the walls ☺️☺️

Loads of good storage and reorganisations there Keith, I’m jealous, I’ve only got 18 drawers in my workshop, but they were all hand-made and in fact are the only drawers I have ever made! Be worth a workshop tour when you’ve finished, do cover all the little storage solutions you’ve done in the past like the clamp rack tubes and the new hammer rack

So one key takeaway seems to be - use strong containers (e.g. shelves, drawer units, etc) and go floor to ceiling for storage: to free up as much space in the garage as possible.

Wow, that opened up a lot of space. While green is my favorite color, my “workshop” tends towards machinery grey. It’s a Navy thing. 😊

clever solutions and your shop keeps getting more efficient! Great job, Keith! Looking forward to your quest to find a better/smaller lathe!

A great , and cheap, way to make custom fit extraction adaptors is to use an old 2 litre pop bottle and 'heat shrink' it around your tools and extractor pipes.

So many boxes in one video brilliant. Your shop looks like have more space now nice and tidy. Nice job.

Love the Step Brothers reference!

Never even thought about having cabinets with sliding doors in the workshop. Once painted it would have not been out of place in my living room.... Great work Keith

Looks great Keith. Nice fresh look!

Love the videos and enjoyed this one. Have you ever thought about putting solar panels on the roof of your workshop. You could generate power to charge your batteries and for your ceiling lights.

That looks brilliant wish my workshop was tidy as that 👌

very very nice. this satisfies my inner organization goblin

Looking good. You have so much more room now.

Love all the workshop changes Keith! The Bisley drawers are a classic! Fancy some Shadow Foam in some of those 44 drawers? :D We do have Green!

When you were counting the number of boxes you had built I couldn't help but picture the Count from Sesame Street counting and the flashing numbers matched up with the lightning strikes. Just needed some bats LOL

🤣I should have overdubbed that!

Looking great keith

Got an idea for you: Mount a small fan in the enclosure for the air compressor pointed towards the cooling fins. Plug the fan and compressor into the same outlet, control the outlet with a switch. That way the fan will cool the compressor when on, and it will be hard for you to forget to shut the compressor off. I did that in my garage after I tipped the compressor over and broke the cooling fan off of the compressor. My intention was to cool the compressor, but it has worked great as a reminder to shut the compressor off at night.

Very satisfying video. Need more wide angle time lapses to appreciate the new layout!

Nice updates Keith! Thanks for sharing them with us!💖👍😎JP

This inspires me to reorganize my shop. Thanks!!

This was one of my favourite videos of yours. I love a good bit of organisation porn! Does the new workshop layout 'spark joy'? 😂

Bisley draws are soo handy, Raaco tray compartments fit in them

If you fancy a change from organising your workshop, fancy coming and giving me a hand with mine? When I bought it, there was a condition on the purchase that all the "junk" (treasure!) that was in there was included. It was fairly full, and I've added to it, so you can now barely get in! I end up doing most work outside, or in the back of my van if it's raining 😂

If the lathe's too big, lengthways, just cut the end of the bed off, that's what I did with mine. Just make a metal plate for the cut end and bolt it in place to reduce any movement of the bed. Worked for me!

Probably need to raise the 15 drawer cabinet to avoid bending down to get to the bottom drawer

Do you remember when you got off with Tracy churcher round the back of science block. In year 11, Keith?

I hope you have a green paint sponsor :-) you're keeping them in business single-handed :-) !!

That was a lot of improvements! Nice work. I’m loving all these workshop videos. Thanks from Canada!

Great job Keith I am still not as sure as you about your chop saw but that is your choice but I will say this DRAWS you can’t beat them l have lots of them in my workshop and my work place set them up like you have done or pigeonholes and they are great you do like your green paint 😂 you have a great workshop there can’t wait to see your new planer thickness and your leave well done 👍

Some very good idea's there. Borrowed the rolls of tape storage from you a while back.

Awesome video. Green is my fave colour.

Love this kind of video and it’s cool to see how you reorganize to maximize your shop

Busy road outside thought of building up your outside wall....

Great job. I'm so jealous

Another great video Keith!

You've definitely increased the space a lot Keith, There's no bigger improvement than space especially when it comes down to being about to adapt. Great video mate 👍🏼

The work flow seems so much better and I can see more floor space now. Good job on designing it. I can tell you put a lot of thoughts on this. 🎉

I am always fascinated by people's workshops. They spend thousands on tools, and then use kitchen castoffs for cabinetry. I have one of those 15 drawer unit, and it is useful- but the drawers are too small. mechanics drawer units have the same metal drawer compactness, but much more storage. Those cubbies are great, so much more practical and compact that the 'french cleat' arrays one sees far too often. Good to unify colours, but always a very personal choice... When finished, you will wonder why you did not do it earlier!

BISLEY's are the way forward. I have 4 of them from a Bank I worked at closed. They fit A4 paper perfectly. Mine are in the garage with everything you could imagine stored and labelled.

you should look at a retractable air hose

Brilliant video, lots of ideas for me to pinch 😂.

Got some great ideas for my workshop I’m building in my cellar thanks

There seems to be a reasonable variable speed lathe on offer at Lidl, might not be for large bowls, under £90 (reduced from £120)

Looking good!

might hijack the hammer rack idea 😁

Please make sure you have space to the left of the headstock when siting the new lathe. You need space to get a tommy bar in so you can tap out drives and so on from the morse taper, as well as some room to rotate the headstock if you go for a model with that. If you genuinely never turn anything very long, then there is a new direct drive Nova lathe coming soon, the Nova Neptune; or you might consider the Nova Nebula if you want something a bit bigger. The direct drive is smooth, powerful and full of torque; the electronic brake saves loads of time on those stop-and-measure projects, and the controls are easy to set to get the speed you want, with no guessing and fiddling around.

Someone was getting rid of one of those filing cabinets, so a lot of my stuff is now in a 5' finding cabinet. It was a pain to move, but I am happy to have one. I just need to lubricate the drawers one day.

The happy face of yours when you got the 2:nd Bisley unit 😀

Love a good workshop video. I sit in mine for ages just staring at stuff I’m not happy about.

Hell yeah!

you gotta get a record power lathe and planner thicknesser (with Helix cutters). and the color matches the workshop 😊

Hi Keith, I spent a good but of time researching a new thickness planer but didn't end up buying at the time. One that stood out was Holzprofi fr it was mentioned on the UK workshop furom and had all the features I wanted such as spiral head and tables that lift altogether without removing the fence. One to add to your compare list I also hear you can get a discount by phoning them

Great video! Inspiring!!

Check out the Fanttik X8 portable tire inflator. It has massively simplified the process of inflating all the various tires there are in my garage. And it comes in green!

Wow looks awesome mate great video

Looks great, Keith! Efficient use of space is so important. Also, congrats on Baby Brown!

Looking great Keith, ive just put a retractable air hose in my workshop, makes such a diffrence wish id got it years ago

Looking forward to the axe restoration. I always enjoy your creative videos.

I wish I had a shop of that size. I enjoy watching this type of stuff

Very nice !

1m lathe = options. Try making a tall floor standing lamp on it

Good evening I'm new to Ur chanell and I'm restarting my old hubby of making cutting boards

I’m so impressed by your reorganisation skills! We’ll done!

Well done!

I saw the lathe chisel racks and couldn’t find a video on them. Just the old 3x and diagonal 3x holders from the new lathe videos. Simple enough but still curious how you made them. Shop has come a long way. Looking back at you insulating/covering window and painting, floors, garage door wall, ceilings.. a lot.

I think I spend more time organizing than actually building. I am in the middle of doing same thing. Tired of it and stopped for a while to do other things.

Bisley shallow drawer cabinet is good choice. Cheaper versions are tinny, sharp, nasty. Go to office clearance company outlets for top quality used top company office grade gear like boardroom tables, filing cabinets, chairs

Im not jealous at all not in the slightest haha...Class job pal

Nice work Keith, I know you said you got bored with this in the end but it will make such a difference to your daily work flow so well worth it, a lot of often repetitive work though granted ! I love that "More green" was one of your main objectives too ! Weird, I was only last week looking into purchasing a Bisley cabinet for my workshop and then both you and Matt put out videos this week including them - Spooky !

good work !

Great video mate, really enjoyed it and gave me lots of inspiration 👍

So jealous of all the tools!
