Thank you for taking the time to make these. Over the last few months I’ve watched each one a couple times as I’ve steadily turned my shop from a scrap collection heap to a real fabrication shop.

I figure I should share this. I’ve come back to your channel about 12-15 times in the last 10 months referencing your workshop organization series and speaking of it to friends. I think the most valuable piece is how you explain your sort of troubleshooting piece of what you’ve tried and what you’ve learned. That’s such a massive time saver for me and at a level of detail I can’t begin to say thank you for relaying. Thank you, thank you, thank you. From your 10x viewer and subscriber. Cheers.

One of the best videos I’ve watched. I like how much you’ve utilized space and accessibility while maintaining visibility of the actual tools. Can’t tell you how often I’ve had to look for a specific tool after “organizing” my shop because I can’t remember exactly where I put it. Also i like how you’ve built a lot of your shelving. That alone provided tips. So If anyone is here because you’re frustrated and need a few ideas.. it’s worth watching. I know I’m rambling but I just spent 15 mins looking for a battery charger.

This method of planning is god damn brilliant!! I’m about to build my first shop/garage space and I think I’m going to use your method to lay out my shop space. Thanks so much for the insight and ideas!

I totally agree with you about floor space being #1 in priority, and I think organization (or at least the wishful thinking!) is always an ongoing procedure in everyone's shop. One of the biggest things that helped me in my small shop was putting everything (on the floor) on wheels, so I can move it easily/quickly. This goes for cabinets, benches, machines, etc. It has greatly enhanced the usability of my available floor space, while also giving me the capability and extra space to do some larger projects that I never could have done, otherwise. Having the ability to move your floor layout in an instant, really makes a huge difference. Another thing that really helps, is having all (or most) of your work surfaces at the same table height...that way when you're working on something really long or extra large, it's easy to just pull another nearby table over for support, instead of always having to shim them up to match. Thanks for all the great ideas and tips, I enjoyed your video.

@RingsWorkshop

3 жыл бұрын

I agree with everything being the same height or very close. I built my miter station just a hair larger than my workbench back in my cubby (I really need to find a better way to describe that thing), so I could cut longer board and it could rest on it if needed.

This is a great video thoughtfully done. I especially appreciated the 10 mistakes. We got a good laugh as some of them hit close to home.

My having watched seemingly a thousand videos on the subject of shop organization, and being guilty of considering these very challenges quite likely to the point of obsessiveness, I think you've done a first-rate job of identifying and addressing this meaty topic. Consistent organization takes great discipline; it's a mindset. And great organization is a leap beyond, benefiting from applied imagination and an appetite for continuous improvement. You are plainly well equipped to speak on this subject, and I'm looking forward to the rest of the videos in your series. One point that I've picked up in the past, and that seems to bear repeating is this: in the context of a woodworking shop, organization isn't about aesthetics; it's not even just about functionality and efficiency. Shop organization is a matter of personal safety, as a messy shop can quickly become a more dangerous shop. Keep it up. And thanks for the videos.

Thank you for sharing this. Even if some of it was not new to me, it still made me think about how i am organizing my shop.. alot of things you mention is true also for me.. not knowing where to put something so it ends up somewhere maybe eating more valuable space than it deserves, based on how often it is used.. and then there is the habit part of things.. that if you had something in the "wrong" place it becomes "lost" if you move it.. because you are so used to it being in that (illogical still) place..

Great tips and I like the style. I appreciate the mild humor without trying too hard. It's perfect timing I'm currently using 1,200 sf of floor space and 50 sf of wall space, thats about to change (that was a great way to break it down in your video). Thanks!
