Pro tip: Use your speed square as a saw guide, 90 degree cuts every time!

Yes I'd love to see how you build one from start to finish out of some junkyard parts. You do an awsome job teaching and showing how things are done.

I'm glad to see someone else practicing the "Adhoc Shop Build" philosophy. Shops grow organically with use and according to the shop owner's experience. I see way too many shop builds that look fantastic, but seem to be a logistical nightmare. Kudos to you for showing us your thought process and execution based on your needs. Also a tire plugging tutorial would be FANTASTIC!!! :D

'Adhoc Shop Build' - I like that description. I built my 30x40x12 back yard shop about 5 years ago. I have been doing miscellaneous shop improvements since the day I 'finished' it. I have yet to insulate or sheet rock any of it, as I am still adding wiring here or framing there.

That S10 is still one of my favorite KZread builds. You and Dirt head Dave have the best builds.

You should put an inverter in the shop and put headlights in the grills on the wall, and then you can turn them on for accent lights.

Thats a neat idea. Not to be pedantic but keeping with the educational vibes of colt's videos if you're looking to get DC out of AC supply then you need a converter to my knowledge. Inverter is the opposite and will provide AC out of DC supply.

Aloha Colt and thanks for showing your shop build! Your channel is becoming one of my favorite show to watch and now cannot wait for the next one you put out!!!

Awesome! Thank you!

That Yukon banner is sweet with all the signatures, Ian the OG rock crawler builder could be a valuable signature one day, just saying. RIP Jessi Combs

Gotta be every mans dream to have a big garage/workshop I know as sure as hell it’s one of mine

Yes, budget builds!! Not everyone can afford 100k for a toy. Thank you

Thank you Colt for sharing this with me ! Your shop is looking pretty good !

I used cables and turnbuckles on the storage shelfs in my garage.

A great feeling when you get your shop organized. I did mine over a long time - about 30 years - so it's very hard for others to find stuff, but for me it's reasonably easy because I built it.

About that floating corner on your shelf . make a triangular brace from corner to wall next to door. it will hold almost as much weight as a post and you dont loose floor space. Thanks for a great channel , your narration is top notch.

I wish I had all your vertical space in my shop. Your shop is really coming together. I am looking forward to watching all the builds you will do inside of your new shop. Thank you for all the videos.

Love your sons T shirt. "I hate Casey LaDelle " Thanks for content, I enjoy your new channel.

Great job with the channel. Love what you're putting out. Disabled Vet wrench turning through you. Keep up the work. From Tennessee.

Remember you may back in to a post at the door . A small cable going to the ceiling or the wall . Will totally save room. It a small shelf. You really don’t need to get to crazy brother.

I love this Chan ❤ also I watch everybody like Robby L- MORR- FABRATS etc .but Colt is the only KZreadr I feel would b genuine and want to talk to his fans. Plus he’s def a smart dude . Love learning from this guy!!

We install a ship ladder to my dad’s mezzanine in his shop. Couple pulleys and a small electric winch to raise it up out of the way. Originally it had a manual boat trailer winch

It would probably be a good idea to add some safety chains on those shelves. Wood likes to do weird things with the weather. Maybe get a piece of Uni-Strut to lay across the rafters to hang the chain from??

@seastrunkconsulting6828

3 күн бұрын

Great Idea with the uni-strut on the bottom. Rather than a chain I hung my old shelves with an all-thread attached to the rafters/trusses.

@offroad6309

Cable hanging down also works. Like chain you can run it at an angle.

If you want the underside of the over door shelf clear, use a wire rope to the upper roof truss (you could also put a turnbuckle in the cable stay to increase tension if required).

Diggin' the shop Colt!! Looking more like a real shop.

Don't forget to make that wood ladder OSHA compliant by putting vertical wood board spacers between the horizontal rungs. More sturdy too. Great job on the new shop!

An old timer Buddy of mine gave me a complete set of F series shop manuals that would have been given to dealership from 1968-1987, they are like gold. If my shop was on fire screw the tools I'm grabbing those off the tool box.

Great video! Videos like these are why I started watching you guys. It's amazing how much stuff I've destroyed because I didn't know what I was doing and no patience.

Gotta say, I always really enjoy the shop build and organization videos! It's interesting to see the planning and thoughts of how it's going to come together. Plus, it gives folks ideas for their own shop. This build has been especially great, because it's attainable for people. This is a shop you and your son are building, and you're doing the planning and executing, running around for materials, trying to reuse and salvage items, and finding solutions on the cheap. This isn't being funded by sponsorship handouts, or large installation businesses - just a father and son putting in the sweat equity. Much respect, Colt!

Dude you deserve that shop. You are a great builder and I enjoy information. Plus smoke show is one of my favorite truck. Mom spaghetti is the other favorite. I’m glad you got your own show. You get tired of smoke show I’ll give it a good home lol.

A little tip Colt before using your grinder on aluminum or plastic take a bar of soap and hit it quickly with the grinder and it will help to keep your disk from clogging up and a smoother finish without the crumbs of plastic or aluminum!

@coltbuildsit

I've done that with aluminum for years, had no idea it worked for plastic too.

that shelf over the door is perfect for an extra air tank.

As someone close to your size, I'm 6'6 and have gone from 411lbs to under 250lbs. Congrats on the weight loss. And the shop is coming along nicely. I'm in Tennessee so pretty sure our plate is on your wall lol

I would like to make a suggestion. The ladder you built to the loft in your garage. To me it seems like it would be in the way where it is. My suggestion is, to move it up against the wall. It will hit your bench midway, and you can tie it in there for more security. It looks like it's out in the way where it is. You might need that room to swing something around while you have a car in there. Just a thought. I watch your channel all the time. I enjoy your content. I've never heard of a doubler until I started watching off road channels. You're a good teacher, Thank you.

Definitely going to need some bigger tires on the Ebay jeep. I am really looking forward to the Pacer build. Great channel, keep up the good work.

Your videos are getting so much better.

Colt, building a shop out takes time and thought. I built out our entire shop at the hospital I worked at for us carpenters. It took alot of time and planning to make it functional in a limited space. Well done with yours!!!

I'm happy for you Colt! Can't wait to see the exciting things you build and share in you shop!!

Oh buddy!!! I hope I get the chance to meet you and shake your hand, when you come to Goldendale WA! Love the channel Colt!! All love and respect to you brother!!!

My son had these till he barely rubbed a tree on his passenger rear. It took out the front portion of the fender base for the flare. Bushwacker doesn't have 'replacement' parts so he'd have to get all new complete flare kit. He upgraded to KBD flares. They are not as wide but still have the large well opening.

Colt Builds It...... I watch it! That simple.

👍🏽🇺🇸👍🏽 Colt you have an awesome approach to everything.. love your videos.. very detailed.

Yup, got my 33”s and immediately wished I had the 35”s, definitely a Jeep thing 😂

Challenger seriously needs to hook you up with a new 2 post lift!

Yes on the vote for more awesome budget builds

Love your shop, Colt!

Looking Great Colt!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Another great video, thanks for keeping things interesting. I did a fender chop on an old Jeep and kept the inner fenders out of the rear as well. Spray in bedliner will also help with the sound of things hitting the rear inner fender wells also. Keep up the great content.

Shops looking awesome! Can't wait to see you guys put it to use

Shop is looking great. I still say you should paint all that pegboard colt green. Also, that spot over the door would be a good place to mount the air compressor

For the shelf over the door. Chain and eye bolts. You can readjust the tension and it makes the angle easy to do.

Centerforce clutches wow I haven't heard that in a long time I run that in my Toyota truck great clutches 🤙😎

Those old hysters are beast forklifts

Yes!!!! Please build a budget buggy!!!!!!!!!!

Nice recap on the various buggies you have. My gut tells me a rear steer axle is simply a front axle mounted in the rear of the vehicle. If not, this would be a great subject in a future video. Been doing some research on propane engines. Love the points and counter-points you shared. Will be giving that shop a visit soon. Thanks for sharing.

First, please build a budget buggy. Second, please put more direct support on those lofts. As a materials engineer, that loft hanging on screws hurts my brain and I don't want to see it collapse.

I was thinking the same thing

Shop is coming along nicely. Fender flares look better than the stock ones. Bulletpoint Mounting Solutions is no joke. I have their stuff in my '24 Frontier. The E-Bay jeep needs some Bulletpoint stuff.

Love that old drill press! I’ll send ya a picture of the sweet arbor press I scored off marketplace!!

I bought my 10k lift from Aston Equipment. Good quality and a great price. You may want to check them out. Love the channel. Shop setup seems never ending in my experience.

3m makes a great rubberized under coating that works great for the rear inner fenders. Used on my jeep and all my trucks

Sure is looking like a shop now. I always like building shops more than anything else I build. Not sure why, i guess its because you can build better with a well thought out shop.

very good video lots of neat ideas thanks

great as always great content very entertaining

Heck yeah I wanna see a budget buggy build!!

Gettin things done looken good like the flares

I would love too see a budget build with junkyard parts

For the platform above the door you could drop a post then build a wall that would return to the front wall. Add some peg board now you got a hat rack, coat rack, key rack whatever just extra space.

Good video, the bench extension for the drill press i would sheet with 1/4 steel ,stronger an easy to clean. The ladder up is in the way, I would hinge it or just make a temporary ladder that fits on when you need it. Good overall job, however i am concerned that eventually ,within a year the shop will be to small an require doubling in size . fyi

Good idea on shelves Colt 👍🏻

You need an XJ grille too!! Shop looks great

When I work with my sons, I also pronounced knife the way you did. Must be a Dad thing. When i was on my way down from where my Dad had me climb, he'd say "Don't worry if you fall. I'll catch you on the second bounce." Thanks, Dad! Oh, Chilton manuals and Haynes manuals. Yup! I still have them.

Hard working gettin it done.

Colt you really need to through bolt all of the supports. Don't rely on the nails to support the weight.

@coltbuildsit

3 күн бұрын

Everything is screws or lags

When you wire the lights in you should see if you can wire in led headlights into some of the grills!

Pro its can also run a barbecue grill! Lol Enjoying the hands on repairs, no skipping to end of repairs, great job on the transfer case video.

Yes a buggy build would be great

A 5 gallon bucket on a rope for lowering stuff from the mezzanine is handy.

If you put your sawblade up to your mark and then slide the speed square up against the saw it makes it easy to cut straight and square.

The garage is coming along nicely

All thread to the ceiling with some extra nuts along the way up for hanging other stuff.

Rock on Colt!!❤️🇺🇲

Good morning I really like the garage set up a great way to add storage. I hope you do a budget build when you get the on X build done

Small Budget Buggy. YYYEEESSSSS please

Yes, more budget built buggy projects

Hey man congrats on the upgrade

Looking good, you make building look so easy!!!!

Onyx Challenge, If all 46k of your subscribers would go and vote for you and Trailmater it would put you over the top.

Use threaded rods to super support your shelves. HD and LWS both have the angle iron anchors

For the shop you can use the Simpson Strong-Tie SD9212R100 #9 x 2-1/2" Structural Screw

Another great video. Thanks

Nice update 👍😎✊

Dude! use a pull down attic ladder! it will save space but is so much easier to get up and down!!!! you will thank me later.

Hay shop is looking great about your grills. Call Paul at fabrats, maybe he'll have what you are looking for in his part yard
