Hey Ben, I like your shop! I'm in Roy, Washington. Maybe someday we'll have to meet up. My shop in about 2/3 of my 48x48 shop building. The other 1/3 houses our RV.

More shops more shops more shops!

Shop tours really help to build a sense of community. It feels like I’m dropping by for a chat with someone else who “just gets me”. Thanks Marc! And yes, please keep them coming!

So true!

Hey Marc, thanks so much for featuring my shop, your channel is probably the first woodworking channel I ever subscribed to so its a real buzz to see my face on it.

While not all build projects are going to appeal to everyone, Shop tours are kind of like shop projects, it's always nice to see how other people do what they do, and how you might adapt it to your workflow

I have a small shop and I love how each one of these guys came up with creative ways to make their shops BIG workhorses in such small spaces. I'll never complain about my less than 1 car garage space again. I vote for more shop tours.

Hey thanks for featuring my shop! Wish I put more effort into cleaning and setting up my shots! You mentioned that festool systainer and mentioned that even though I have a lot of budget tools, you can’t find alternatives for some things! That’s why I ended up getting a sawstop, a drum sander, and the infamous domino! Just can’t do some things cheaply.

I work in a professional cabinet shop and believe me it gets messy. We do take time to clean but getting into every nook and cranny is hard, not to mention the sanding dust from the day to day work. Keep on with what you are doing. If you aren't making a mess you aren't woodworking. I like to think that a clean shop is a happy shop. Having said that saw dust and wood chips are gonna a way to accumulate no matter how much you clean

@@jessevardaman6208 I really appreciate hearing that! It can be discouraging how dirty it gets despite my efforts. That said, I did record this video right after some lathe work, so it was a particularly bad time! Haha

That comment about the shop being a work in progress hit home. My wife often says I spend more time working ON my shop than I do working IN it. :D More shop tours, please!

I struggle every day with fitting out my newish shop. It’s 209sq ft (19.5 sq mrt). These tours help. Thanks to the presenters.

Really like this video series, the best, most innovative ideas usually stem from "not enough space"..."not enough money".

Great tours of these small shops. I think I will ask the Smartwoodshop family to submit videos of their shops, but the theme will be shops using smart benches. I will link this video in my call-to-action video so everyone can see how easy it is to shoot a short video and describe their shop. Thanks for the idea.

I love these series. My shop is 36x24 and honestly watching these types of vids have really helped me organize better. Just because you have space doesn't mean you use it well.

Glad you like them!

I like these types of videos. I think one can get some great ideas from them. The fold down CNC is pretty awesome!

For a guy that is just finishing building (let alone setting up)his new small shop, this is great info and inspiration.

I very much enjoy seeing what other people are doing with their space. More please.

Very cool to see how everyone else is setting up their shops, great creativity! I always say there’s a lot of folks out there building way better stuff than me with way cheaper tools , and that’s a fact ! So thanks to New Zealand, Washington and Texas for the awesome tours . Obviously Marc, I enjoyed this !

Nice to see an affordable shop. Most of the shops shown are equipped with tools that cost more than normal people could possibly afford.

Your introduction was understated by miles, your the king of shop builds, the shop build is “the” build. What happens in reality most put more into the build than actually producing projects. Most of us are ready thou And can’t wait to make a mess,

Boy, I love getting a peak into other people’s shops! It’s like reading The Workbench Book, but live.

I loved seeing these shops. It’s good to see how the regular woodworkers keep their shops.

My shop is an 8ft wide x 40ft long rail car cargo container. I cut windows and a door in it. I insulated it with 1" foam sheeting and furred it with flat 2x4s and lined the walls with pallet boards. I have a table saw, band saw, router table, lathe, and a mortiser. It's pretty narrow. I put everything on rolling bases and shift stuff around during use. The back half has my work bench and all my hand tools. I use my table saw a lot but mainly I use hand tools. The height is 9 ft so I compensate by storing stuff on shelves up above me. I've built lots of furniture and cabinets in that little tiny space. I can work in the heat of summer with just a small fan and during a cold winter with a small space heater.

Really appreciated this, thanks for sharing! Appreciated the fact that they’re all “normal” shops. No disrespect to the pros who have super expensive shops, but those videos can make woodworking feel unattainable to us mortals, so appreciate you sharing these and pointing out things you liked about them. Thank you!!

Definitely, please do more of these, my shop is spatially challenged too. Thanks Marc!

Shop tours are great for picking up ideas and seeing how others deal with the issues we all face as hobby woodworkers.

I like that one drawer scrap wood. Keeps the hording in control. Lol

Thanks for compiling this list, Marc! I like that all of the shops offered a little something different for folks to relate to and get ideas from. Keep 'em coming!

Loved these! I will also mention that the Gridfinity system is excellent for those with a 3D printer. It is amazing how much I use mine for all kinds of shop fixtures.

Good stuff I’m in a 12X20 for 15 years it just devolves and evolves crazy as it sounds the shop is a living thing. I’m over here in KC if you are ever in the neighborhood.

Yes please keep them coming Spags. My shop is 10 x 20 and not even slightly organized. Good to see other small shops and how they're organized

Really great to see the small shops, the set ups and how they get functionality out of less

Actually really enjoyed this. Won’t say my shop is better or worse than any of these. It’s far from perfect, but I love it! It’s inspirational to see others also loving their imperfect shops!

Finally got around to watching this video, really fun looking at all the different solutions from the US and AUS. Let's do more please.

I always love a shop tour and like you mentioned something my spark your interest and you can add it into your own shop. So yer bring on the shop Tours and maybe a few favourite tools people can’t live without. I know it’s ever tool but you get the drift. Dig your channel and it’s nice to see yours almost up and running

Its always nice to see how others utilise space in a small work area.

I could watch a hour of this. After 25 years I snapped ! Now I am building a whole new layout. Advice is free, I take all I can get !

I really enjoy seeing others' small shops. I am setting up some things in my garage and need all the ideas I can get for space saving, and um, money saving. Cuz that's a big, deep hole that's so easy to fall into. More please!

Yes, by all means more shop tours please. The last one in this one really connected with me because I am planning on building a 12 x 20/24 shop for my backyard. I'm getting lots of ideas on how to lay it out. Thanks for these videos.

I enjoyed the different ideas that the woodworkers came up with for their shops.

Who knew? I wasn't going to watch this, when it popped up in my feed; but then decided to when I saw it was your content. I'm glad I did. It's nice to compare and contrast with my 1/2 of a 2-car garage. I'd totally like to see some more shop tours. Even some more Small Edition ones. ** Proof that when you're a good content provider, people will watch regardless of how many times they've seen something similar.

It was fun and inspirational seeing these shops and I appreciated all the time the spent cleaning.

Thank you all for sharing! Very inspiring!

These are great. Keep 'em coming. It's great to see people that you've seen on the KZread chat or FaceBook group and see what they are up to. Brought back memories of my start in a garage where I had to put everything away at the end of the weekend. I never felt limited by that!

You are right Marc, even with only a few tours here I did pick up something that I hadn't thought of. The idea of a full length drawer to keep cut-off scraps is a much better looking, and more functional, method over my Rubbermaid container system! I'm currently building drawers for my outfield table, and I think this will be incorporated into that this weekend! Perfect timing. Thanks 👍

I really enjoyed these! It's always fun to see other woodworkers shops and how they problem solve to fit in their space!

I like this idea! Nice to see average Joe short tours to get ideas instead of wading through 45 minute tour videos.

I really enjoyed the video, its great seeing the different shops that people work out of. Fresh ideas of tool storage, workflow and tool selections. Keep this type of video coming!

Always good to see how others organize their shops.

Kris: epoxy pour the floor. Expensive option but very effective, gives you a flat smooth surface... after you spend some quality time with a wire brush in your grinder going over every centimetre of the floor :) The concrete needs to be solid underneath it, though.

I agree with French cleats. I have a hand tool cabinet that seems to be constantly changing so I'm going to build a new one that will easier to adjust to my tool situation.

Loved this! I'd love to see more. It's helpful to see people's problem solving and unique solutions. Great inspiration.

Not really small shops, this guys are lucky.

Definitely do more small shop tours! It's hugely interesting and helpful for us sub-400 ft folks.

I really enjoy getting to see what other woodworkers do in their shops. Thanks for the video!

I love the small shop tours. I work in one side of a two car garage and I have to share that side with the kids' bikes, scooters, etc. I definitely got some good ideas from this video.

I can't believe that I missed this video for 5 months 😭, I know I'm late to the party but YES more shop tour video's!!! As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

I really enjoyed that, another thumbs up for more of these tours.

Shop tours are helpful. Gives helpful hints on organization in smaller shops.

I dig it. I work in a single bay of a 3 car garage also, about 20' x 13'. I appreciate that I am not alone in stepping over and trying not to trip on shop vac hoses.

I LOVE seeing other peoples shops. Would love to see more of these videos.

I really enjoyed seeing these shops of just normal people. Makes me feel better about my shop and seeing the creative ways people tackle challenges in their shops.

Keep them coming. Always love watching shop tours.

I like this a lot. It's nice to see how other people deal with small shops

I'm still putting my shop together. Awesome to see what others have done!

More for sure! Thanks for doing this!

I love to see how others solve problems. These videos are always great.

I think we're all proud of our small shop solutions. For me, it's mobility and flexibility using casters. Please host more shop tours

I have a small shop shared with a car and home storage so these small shop tours really inspire and give me ideas. Keep them coming!

For sure want to see more small shop spaces! I'm slowly working my way towards a shop makeover.

that fold down CNC was pretty cleaver i was trying to think of a way to put on in my shop with out taking up a lot of space. and i would like to see more of this

Yeah, I really like seeing other shops, keep them coming!

Love it. Always love looking at how others organize and develop their shop

Love shop tours, each one is interesting and valuable!

Definitely like seeing the small shops. I have a small shed that is way too cluttered with non-woodworking items, but have plans to clear it out so I can work inside instead of moving everything outside when I want to get something done

This is a great idea! Love seeing all the little ideas and details they put in

LOTS of great ideas there. Keep showing the shops!

Great to see these tours, keep them coming!

Always love seeing how different people do things. Keep her goin
