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:

If you'd like to support me with a small but incredibly valuable gesture, why not buy me a coffee?

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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 📦

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 :)
