Hey James it's James. Idk where to go with this buy you or stumpy nubs came to mind but within this week at least a WHOLE season of "the woodwright's shop" has been getting downloaded on here n another commented it n wondering whether it's the real ppl or is somebody ripping Roy Underhill off??? Guy said it's unlicensed(other commenter) n I'm a lot off things but watching KZread is about the limit of my technological touch... Is this something you could look into,hell maybe you know at least a mutual friend or something...? Just as a woodworker I respect someone like that and y'all so much I thought is take a min to pass it somewhere?. Tks

Holy crap, putting the wood under the stairs by length is brilliant!

I understand why you're not crazy about shop tours, too often its more of a "look at all I have" tour. Most of your viewers I would guess are humble, hobby woodworkers! Who work in a garage, basement or small shed. The fact you've stayed in a small and not gone to having big sponsors and moved to a big shop is a part of why I, and many others are "Wood By Wright" members. Much continued success.

An alternate idea is going Live on IG, let us fans ask you where things are. We know you know where everything is but who doesnt like a scavenger hunt. Hinge plate jib, show us your counter sink collection, how many clamps do you have, where do you GL radius, brace frame jibs

I like KZread shop tours - I always get good tool and lumber storage ideas.

Awesome shop and great presentation

Nice. It is good to see a shop that does so much work that is not a Super Shop... It is a real small shop. That in and of itself is an inspiration. Thanks for that!

Dont know how you keep it so clean. I love the efficiency of the bench back wall. Yes 100% in agreement to your concept there! I have cabinets and tool chest with drawers and I hate them, open close open close. It should be like my drill rule - one drill out at a time period. No losing them or getting out of order. I have a bacesmrnt shop also and your inspiring me to change my shop over to your set up. Also I like and think a separate and decorate sharpening station is ideal. I would have the main station next to laundry tube to make it easy to wash plates off and wask hands off. I do admire how efficient you are and organized!

The shop is normally not this clean. But at this point I had just put down the rubber flooring and so that meant taking everything out and putting it all back. So at this point it was probably the cleanest it had ever been. Perfect time to shoot your shop tour. Lol

Thanks for that tour. Nice to see parts of your bench we don't normally get a look at. Love the new rubber floor. Couldn't hear your clogs once during the video. Kinda miss that sound. When I was a kid I went to Holland. My Dutch relatives took me to a store to get fitted for clogs. I still have those...somewhere!

Your shop is wider than mine is long 🤣

Thanks, James. I like these videos once in a while, makes me rethink shop organization.

I found it quite interesting - I use a mix of power hand tools (mostly a circular saw, sometimes a belt sander) and hand tools. I was amazed to see your computer area in the same shop - because saw dust (and dust) are an issue for me. Nice layout. I think I'm going to steal your understairs lumber rack.

I'm currently planning to build a house and a shop next to it. So it's very helpful, giving me a more realistic idea about the space I would need. Thanks a lot.

I tried having a bench against the wall for a while but it's so nice to be able to swing things off the other side of the bench.

I bought a WorkSharp less than a year ago. It now triggers the ground fault interrupters on any circuit in my garage as soon as it's powered on. A disappointment; I would not recommend buying a WorkSharp. On the brighter side, I'm getting halfway decent at sharpening by hand..

I always assumed the bandsaw, planer, and jointer were behind the camera. Must be hidden in a shed somewhere. 😬

Yes. The split top on the saw bench makes it phenomenal easy to rip a board and have both sides supported. If you're ripping off the side of the bench having one side supported in the other unsupported often leads to cracks running ahead or a board bouncing around on you.

When and why did you get rid of the old bench?
