Small Workshop Tour - MAXIMISE your space
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Welcome to my first ever WORKSHOP TOUR video where I'll show you around my SMALL single-car garage workshop.
It's a fully functioning workshop that all fits in a 8 by 16 feet (2.4 m × 4.9 m) space.... HOW does it all fit? Come and take a look around with me.
You can find the majority of the tools, accessories, and wood finishes I use on my AMAZON TOOLS LIST:

Thank you buddy thank you so much I'll check that out my friend. And I appreciate it very much from Doug
Thanks for the tour Rob. Plenty of inspirational ideas. I'm not completely sold on french-cleat as an idea for my workshop, but I do prefer tools to be accessible on the wall and frequently make custom tool holders. Of the back of this I will probably give the cleats a go - who knows! All the best, Karl.
I’m impressed how organised your man shed is

Great little workshop. If your going to continue to film in there you really should have brighter lighting. To Manu shadows. My shop is only 16x10 and often think about putting an additional 6ft off the side giving me more space in the middle. At the sametime, the smaller space means less going back and forth. I need the space for lumber storage and for my handtool collection. Look forward to more of your videos!

Thanks so much. The space has changed quite a bit since this was filmed. I now have strip lighting across the whole ceiling for better illumination 😀
So your workshop is about 3m wide by 6m deep approximately. But it well thought out, impressive ❤❤
Thank you for the tour! I love your shop layout- Everything has a place and a reason for being there; you pack a lot of capacity in a small space.

Impressive small work shop, very well organized! You earned a new subscriber from a fellow creator. One thing I've learned over the years is the more things mobile the better especially with smaller shops. One idea to getting your planer off of the ground is to build a mobile flip top cart to store you spindle sander on one side and planer on the other with a goal of building the height to align with your table saw outfeed table.

Cheers dude. Appreciate that! I actually don’t run the lunchbox style thicknesser in the shop anymore but I did consider building a flip cart before it went haha
Brilliant! What a great use of what is really a very small work space! Impressive and inspiring.

I have probably watched about two hundred shop tours over the years, so I can spot a tidy, organized well stocked shop. For a small shop your meets that criteria. I also spotted a few gems of tools like the metal plane etc. Shows people can work in a small shop well. Have the same work bench also - nice.

Ah that’s kind of you, thank you so much. Good spot on the bridge city tools planes. They’re such a nice addition to the shop. Probably don’t get enough use but super handy when I need them 😀

As someone who wants to get into woodworking, what are some good starter projects you would recommend? Also, I love the organization.
@whittlebywhittle
Жыл бұрын
Hi Randal, thank you so much 🙏 So I have a video coming out soon that goes over a few starter projects but I would say one of the best things you could make to start out is a simple box. Something like a keep safe or jewellery box. A very good chunk of projects you’ll come up against starts by knowing how to make a basic box, so things like cabinets, drawers, desks, beds, etc. they’re all just variations of a simple box. Also good for practicing different joinery techniques so rebates (or rabbits if you’re in the US 🤷♂️), box joints, finger joints, dovetails, or simple butt joints. You can’t go wrong with a box 📦

Hey Rob, I totally love your set up and have really enjoyed seeing the progress since you started! What are the internal dimensions of the workshop? Do you have any plans in place to alter or upgrade any part of the shop? Will definitely need to arrange a trip down to do work on a project together. Great video too mate!

Thanks so much, Steve! So a few things have already been upgraded since this video was shot. My centre console is now bigger, on wheels, and has the table saw built in. I've also, added alot more power and proper lighting this which is a nice quality of life upgrade. Next up is a french cleat wall to keep things a bit tidier and I'm hoping to fully insulate this year if I get the time/money :)
