I wouldn't want to do any non-woodworking stuff in a woodworking shop.

Man, over the last 22 years I have finished three basements with framing, plumbing, wiring, and all the fixins, and I swore I would never do it again. And here I am now, watching Frank and feeling envious that he gets to do it, and in spades. "Hmm, I need some air circ, let's just jet over to the CNC and make a cold air return in an 8x4 sheet of plywood". Sweet. Nice work, amigo!

hi frank im 15 and i always done stuff in the shop my grandpa is a cnc machinist and im his aprentence but i also have a wood shop and i have learned so many thing is the past few years ive been watching you and you always inspire me to go out with new ideas and make stuff thxs man i love the vids i hope they never stop

I'm convinced Frank is just tunneling from room to room underground. where is all this space coming from. How many millions of sq feet is this house?

I think by this point, he has tunneled into a neighbor's house

😂 I was just thinking that! Like does he live in a Tardis? Is space-time folded into infinite pocket dimensions beneath his house? Is he occupying his neighbors’ basements?

Classic PNW house from the 60's. Wood was almost free, lots were huge, basements were unfinished. 'Lets build a house, and make another one underneath, but just for storage.'

frank howarth thanks for all the vids Frank! I really love your work! I also now have 2 radial arm saws, and it doesn't seem like enough.

Your children are very lucky to have a father who is both skilled enough AND motivated enough to make them this craft space. Art was the first human form of expression and communication. Nurturing a child’s artistic creativity is essential to developing well-rounded, confident and relaxed member of society. For a craft space, white walls and ceiling are a great choice. It’ll be less visually cluttered so they can tune into their imaginations easier. I hope your babies make tons of fun projects for years to come!

who would dislike a video like this? I just don't understand the world, haha.. thank you Frank, you are endlessly entertaining to watch!

Shouldn't it be "Je suis un Cleat-A-Holique", seeing as they are french cleats?

I agree, I believe that is why his channel is so popular. It has nothing to do with his bevy of tools and power equipment. It is how he uses them.

Every time you do another project in your basement, I am reminded that I'm laying on my bed watching KZread, with a completely unfinished basement beneath me, haha! The perfectionist in me, loves the perfectionist in you, there aren't many people that would bother caulking a basement craft room, or a living room for that matter!

that's a lot of work. I would have made 10 videos out of this effort. and now it looks fresh and sleek. very nice!

The way you edit is so entertaining!

Frank, Your planning and execution skills are second to none. You continue to amaze us. Well done!!

I've watched your channel for many years now (2 or 3), and was going to leave w comment about how much I like it, when I realized I'm not subscribed. So I rectified that and now am a subscriber. I find your voice the most soothing, but your projects are amazing.

That may be the nicest craft room on KZread!!

You really must be in your wife’s good books! Excellent work. 🇦🇺👴🏻

Really good idea cutting that vent directly into the wall panel.

Congrats, Frank. Your ingenuity never fails to amaze me.

I LOVE Spax screws. I think they are very much worth the extra cost.. Frank your videos are easy like Sunday morning bro.

I never thought I would ever hear Frank say, "It almost looked too straight." C'mon, man! You are precision incarnate LOL

Another well done project Frank, you are a worthy and capable woodworker and carpenter, I enjoy all that you do. .

New lighting!? A single bare light bulb is just fine!

Anybody else wondering how big Frank’s basement is 😂? Loving the videos as always

Frank: Woodworker. Skim coater. Plywood walls for craft room anchor flexibility. Well done sir.

I’d watch you build anything. Great story as always.

Cleatus McFarland would love this episode. Cleats everywhere!

Gotta love seeing that plywood panel lift!

I have this recurring dream of just one day finding a hidden room to our crammed apartment. Frank is living that dream. Also, have we reached peak cleat yet? Frank, I’m obsessed with your videos! Thanks and keep it up!

A good trick with the outlets is take the outlets out and drill a hole in the 'center' of the box. Then with the panel in place use a trim router with a straight bit and follower bearing to follow the box.

Everything's better with a Frank Howarth video. Thanks Frank

With hole saws my dad always runs it in reverse first. That scores the first layer. He is usually drilling through vinyl siding, but maybe that will work for the plywood too.

Beautiful as always. Thanks Frank!

Love the rhythmic nailing!! Great use of space too.

Frank, I love how you have fun with your video’s. It’s not just teaching and sharing but entertaining as well. Thank you.

Looking forward to it! Your renovations are always inspirational.

Great work Frank that will be a great space for the whole family to use! Just a quick note for future reference, when you are mixing any power in a bucket start with a little water on the bottom of the bucket, this will reduce any chance of having dry chunks. Cheers from Tokyo! Stu

Frank, thank you for sharing your process and taking the time to illustrate your concepts in real space. I'm a junior architect (in Honolulu) and I really appreciate how clear drawings turn into clean construction, you do well at both. I appreciate the style of your editing marrying design intent with the actual conditions. It's very clear and your videos are engaging, and I think it's really a reflection of your experience and understanding of carpentry and design. I look forward to seeing how flat that concrete slab is and how you finish it. I hope the wall base doesn't overlap the vents at the wall/floor condition.

I also made my air return out of plywood, but I only went halfway thru from the front using the cnc router and then, on the back side, cut halfway thru in a perpendicular pattern. It REALLY made the painting an effort (until I broke out the spray can).

Beautiful transformation, Frank 👍❤️

Great result, Frank. Thanks for sharing.

Superb, as ever, Frank. Many thanks for the new video!

what a great project. I really like how bright the room looks

I love the efficiency of this! You combined trim, french cleats, and decoration!

Always fun to watch you work!!

I appreciate you including some of the "mistakes" and your solutions -- it's how we learn.

That's looking so much better already 👍👍👍

brilliant use of wall space. Thanks for sharing. eagerly looking forward for your next video.

A Classic Frank production, very nice work.

Looking really good

What a great addition to your home !!

Love the brightness of the space!

Great job Frank, Love your videos

Video really needed to have a soffit counter. Glad to have you back Frank

Hey Frank, Think out of the box and do a french cleated floor. Then drop the mic and leave the stage! Ahahh Love your videos and how you put perfection in everything you make 👌🏻

Thanks, Frank. Another cool project.

Great job Frank! Looks like a lot of work went into this room but turned out very nice. Thanks for posting!

Love the french cleet look. Nice job!!

Outstanding job my friend

I love the waltz of the pneumatic nailer! Nicely done all around!

Lovely work Frank.

As usual...awesome! Love your site.

A craft room made by a true craftsman. Thank you for explaining your thought process including your revisions. Also the editing is amazing.

Frank, you are a champion! I am very proud of you!

This is EXACTLY what I want to do in my combination home office / hobby room. Looking forward to seeing the French cleat fixtures in the next video.

Frank is a "cut" above. Thanks for sharing your innate talents with us kind Sir. It is awesome.

That room looks great. I can’t wait to see your French cleat desk and storage system.

Beautiful job Frank !

The room looks so nice, brighter and bigger.

Only person I've ever seen be able to work from both sides of the fence. Impressive!!

Looks great!

Very interesting video. Nice work. Thanks!

if it aint cleat, it aint neat! Great job as always Frank.

Beautiful Work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to be "that guy who's an arm-chair elec-chicken", but to my eyes it looks like on the left side of the soffit above, you have a buried junction box, which I don't believe NEC allows no matter where you live.

Also box extenders on the outlets through the plywood. Don't want a faulty or overloaded outlet arcing next to the wood with no barrier.

You should consider carpet squares for the floor. I had them in my basement when i bought the place. I pulled about half of them out when i moved my wood shop in and ended up regretting it so i put them back. It keeps the room more comfortable, and the dust down. Cleaning is as simple as just vacuuming.

Nice job Frank !.

You are very talented and creative!

The panel lift is awesome

Como siempre un muy buen trabajo Frank. Saludos desde Uruguay

Looking forward to the final craft room reveal!

Thanks for the ideas.😁

Looks good Frank

Looks great! Love your videography skills.

Love the French cleats being used throughout the home, I would have been confused if you didn’t go with them for the craft room since they’re used pretty much everywhere else. This way you can move bins and tool boxes around for different projects and always have a place to hang them. I foresee new storage bins similar to those in the workshop in your future.

I really like the little vent you added!

Was Aboutaleb to go to sleep, than a noticed the video of Frank. Got a drink and enjoyed the video. The ceiling and Wallis are a big improvement to this basement room. Nicely done.

Love, love, love!!

Looks great! I await the next video installment!

used to do sub systems in cars ... a router and guide works well for making holes quickly and cleanly :) great work as always best wishes to all

All of you youtube woodworkers have your like signature thing, you aren't the only ones who do the them, but it sure is hard to imagine what you would be like without it Frank Howarth - French cleats/bowls Matthias Wandel - Bandsaws Izzy Swan - Sponsored advertisements John Heisz - Being an asshole

Frank, I loved your video, but I highly recommend you Don't paint your floor. If you paint the floor now, in the future, if you decide to put in any other type of flooring, it may require you to grind off that paint. Any floating flooring may require some floor leveling to the subfloor, which will not bond to a painted surface. And any glued down flooring like carpet tiles will not bond to the paint or even the thinset for ceramic or porcelain tiles will not bond as well. The only flooring you may be able to install would be a tackdown carpet, which is typical for residential setting as the tack straps are nailed down to the concrete and are not affected by the paint. Just a suggestion from someone in the flooring industry for 9 years now. Looking forward to your next video!

Looks nice.

Very good job 👍👍

Master craftsman.

Quite a transformation.

I love it.
