That tool island arrangement is pure genius. Super efficient use of space and dust collection.

I watched this video when it was first posted, and I find myself still coming back to it for workshop ideas 5 years later.

I can really appreciate the attention to detail paid when making those drawer fronts left of the mitre saw. All the grain matches up. 👍👍

I can watch this over and over. He has my type of OCD shop. Same table saw and the same drawer handles. Fun to see other peoples shops and how much of the same brand tools we all use.

The company I have been working for almost 3 years now, needed much work on their shop. It's been a constant work in progress the past year since we are so busy... I have based the shop floor plan off of this gentleman's idea of a centered island of machines. Works wonderful.

Mine is only a 12'x16' so it's small, but usable. It is a shed, custom built for longevity, and has a ramp so I can locate the table saw outside when weather permits. That leaves a TON of space to move around in. I am thinking of getting the same saw Wayne has in the next few weeks, I currently have a DeWalt Jobsite folding saw but it is a GREAT saw!!! I just truly love the space in front of the blade that a full size saw has on the table. I removed my saw from the folding cart and mounted it on a shop built table on wheels to enable an outfeed table, plus dust collection underneath the opposite end with a shop vac and dust devil collector. I have the same drill press and love it, mainly because of the spindle travel, and since I do make pens I can drill through 4" without flipping the wood or acrylic over. Very nice setup, and it does make me envious!!! Cleanest shop I ever saw also, except maybe April Wilkerson's shop which NEVER looks used!!!

I've had this on my "watch later" for about a year and only now finally watched it... am I glad I did! Such a good set up, I'm certainly going to be changing my shop up this weekend! Thanks for the tour guys!

Great miter work station, so many drawers above and back space below the working level. Got to build myself this design. Thank you so much for sharing, inspirational!

Really nice shop! Love the setup. You are not kidding about it being toasty in the garage in Mississippi in summertime!

Thanks for this vid. I copied everything about it and have my island setup in the middle of the shop now. It allows for much more free space; no doubt about it. The bandsaw in that dead space location is very smart; the planer finishing on the outfeed table is awesome; the DC in the middle is a no brainer now. Thanks for sharing this and for helping me improve my setup.

I have the same table saw and Incra LS. Love it. Will keep it for my next saw. Thanks so much guys for the tour. Makes me want to get more organized.

Really nice set up, makes me realize how much work my shop needs:)

HAHAHAH UNDERSTATEMENT OF THE YEAR FOR ALL OF US!!!

Beautiful shop! STRONGLY recommend the Oneida Air Cyclone. I have the same dust collector. I took it apart & was able to mount the blower inlet directly to the top of the Oneida cyclone, and mount both of those at ceiling height. The dust falls down through a 5" aluminum dryer vent into a 50 gal drum on the rolling cart that the Shop Fox collector came with. The inlet side of the cyclone connects to a 5" spiral duct that travels across the ceiling, through the center of my shop. A few Y connectors in the 5" line provide 4" takeoffs with blast gates where I need them. The Oneida removes virtually everything from the dust collector & drops it into the drum, and the gags remain clean. I do have to beat the dust out of the felt bag periodically, but I am absolutely amazed at just how efficient the cyclone turned out to be. No more stumbling & fumbling with tubes & switches at floor level! Shop Fox should really offer that collector in a configuration that works with Oneida's cyclone. They're fantastic. It's really changed how my shop works.

In the process of relocating, your shop and Wayne's are inspirational and very informative to resetting my shop up to operated as efficiently and clutter less. ( which I am sure will change as I have a hard time letting go of even the smallest scrapes). Thanks Wayne and Jay

Looks great Wayne! Very well organised space.

Wayne, what a clean organized work space. Thanks both of you for sharing.

Thanks for this video, Jay. I am so impressed by Wayne's shop that I am using it as a model to outfit and arrange my own workshop. I love the outfeed table, the tool placement is efficient, and the whole layout just promotes an accessible workflow. Very cool. I watched this video back in June and I keep going back to it just to keep my enthusiasm high.

This popped up on my feed again...enjoy it every time.

So much room for activities!!!

Great setup, Wayne! Thanks for sharing it with us, Jay!

I'm building a new shop and this gives me some great ideas, I love the miter saw station and your tool grouping. Great Job!!!

What an excellent layout. Great job Wayne, overlapping the in-feed & out-feed 'dead space' in front of and behind of each tool in your Island. I have seen a lot of shops, and this is one of the most efficient designs I have seen. It has inspired me to rethink my layout. Thank You for sharing.

Good shop and I especially liked the way Wayne had ensured all the grain worked / lined up across the drawers on the mitre station.

Wayne, your shop is beautiful! I'm getting ready to set up my own garage shop. I'm going to copy you, Wayne (as best I can given my skill level)! Thanks for sharing.

Could you make a 2023 version of Wayne's shop. I love his shop so much.

I keep coming back to this shop, looks so good!

Im new to woodworking but have been really inspired by this set up. I like how the island in the middle combines all the major tools. I plan on using a similar concept in my own garage. Thank you for making this video!

What a great shop, I didn't want it to end, it's perfect!

Jay Bates you do love that word EFFICIENT.😂😂😂

Jay, thank you so much for posting this. I have a CLEAN SLATE to build out my new garage at new home. This just gave me some really solid ideas. Thanks!

Very nice setup, Wayne! Thanks for sharing, Jay.

Great shop tour! Love your shop layout Wayne, and all your fancy pants tools. Thanks Jay for sharing Wayne's shop with us. Cheers from Ontario Canada. Larry B

You are right, California Air Compressors are so nice and quite. I purchased one for my demo trailer at work. When I personally have the need to get a larger one I plan on purchasing one. They are priced very nice.

I wonder if my shop will ever be that clean. Great shop Wayne. Thanks for sharing.

Great shop tour. My shop is odd shaped and has lolly columns, which made my layout difficult. The way Wayne clustered his tools makes sense for me and I emulated that in my shop. Thanks!

I absolutely love your shop.. you have done a phenomenal job with Space efficiency and getting the maximum potential out of your Machine/tools I'm definitely going to take this design into consideration when building my own shop... Thank you ...

Great shop, with well organized thought in mind. Thanks for sharing.

I have he same Ridgid table saw still stock. Thanks for showing me that it can be upgraded for precision and rotor adaptability. Awesome.

i wasn't 10 seconds in and liked Wayne already! Nice shop Wayne!

great shop Wayne, thanks for letting us in.

Fellow Mississippi wood worker! Love the channel keep it up man! Love your work!

Yes! I love all of your organization. Working on getting there. I’m going to use that miter saw arrangement you have there.

Wayne, go get a furnace blower, mount it to a harbor freight furniture dolly, (item#61899) add a light switch to turn it on and off. I've got one, and I use it daily in my shop. I live in Florida and it not only circulates the air, it makes a 98' day feel nice. Give it a try, you just might like it.

I love this set up. You would never guess that it is only a 20 x 22 space. Awesome look and impressive set up.

I bought the California Air after seeing it on your shop tour. It is awesome

God I wish I had a garage. I work out of my basement so I'm very envious. And so clean just like yours. Great job. On to the next video.😀

Very neat and well organised but having space too is critical in a work space. Lots of very nice Festool as well as the table saw/router table/bandsaw etc. with the dust collection system. Good stuff!

I love the work flow & efficient use of spaces good job....

Nice post. That island cluster is a great concept.

Wow...Wayne's shop is Immaculate..

Loved this video. Great setup.

Great tour!

Great video. It helped me generate some ideas for my very crowded 2.5 car garage.

This shop is really really well built!!

Great workspace!!! Clean and look very functional

Killer shop video. Great ideas always come out of your videos.

exceptional layout of your shop!! I have always wondered why so many build complicated holders, drawers and such for shop storage, and can never understand why. Simple is always easy and solid, which you have nailed!!! great n clean shop, mine is always puffed with canarywood

man i love the layout of his shop! I just wish I had that space!

loved this video i have a sense of direction for my shop layout now with some changes but still verry useful love your work jay and it a pity Wayne dosnt do videos i would watch his vids for sure

Thnx for the tour. I also like the dc in the middle of the island of equipment

Thanks to Wane for letin us see his shop and thank you Jay for the Vid and narration good stuff.

I have a ton of 1/2" plywood sheets left over from Hurricane Matthew... oooh, i see a new project in my future! Thanks, Wayne ;)

Thank you for the shop set up and space saver idea. Needed this.

I lol’d at the “fridge for water” part. Thanks!

very nice, i like the idea of vertical storage idea. I have a single garage shop and i think I'm going to change my current movable lumber storage to that vertical storage idea. Thanks for the video Jay.

a man of few words, of course not J. Bates but Mr. Wayne... just great and a great shop too

I didn't watch this video... I studied it. Some great space-maximizing ideas here. Thanks Jay!

After watching this as well as your shop video's, I changed my setup to the "island", or "pod" in the middle of my shop. I have a 2 car garage shop as well. Thanks for the great uploads.

Now THAT is an awesome shop! Wow

I just got the callifornia air compressor too that I saw on Dema's channel, love it. Fine shop you have there sir! Very nice.

GREAT Video JB! Thanks for Posting! Got a LOT of great ideas! Looking forward to checking out All of Wayne's stuff! Have A Super Week!..... Gus

Very nice shop Wayne. Great video as always Jay

Nice shop! Well organized and clean!

Thanks Jay, for bringing us along to Fancy Pants Garage Shop.That place is cleaner than a restaurant. The simplicity borders on indigenous. Wayne is as happy as a dog in a bun, great job guys. Now to get off of u tub and start mopping.

Nice clean shop I learn how to organized with this video Thank you

Perfect set up

thanks guys i have a very similar space to work with and most others have smaller shops with very different designs thanks for going through what you did to make it better than before or narrators shop that seems to much like this but but apparently this shop is lil better organized i have spent hours on KZread looking for a good layout . some would say that time should be spent in shop but im not ready just yet and hope the time researching will pay off with lil adjustments instead of full out rearranging .

Very nice & well organized shop!

nice shop..good work flow amd spotless..wow!!

Great setup. My woodshop is about the same size and after watching this it’s time for some changes.

Thanks Jay, it was a blast having you in my shop. And thanks to everyone for the nice comments. By the way Jay, who's that fat old guy in my shop;) .

Beautiful shop. I'd love to completely take over my garage since my truck won't fit in there, but the wife parks in there and with our rough winters up north a garage is great to have.

Do you have any ideas for vertical storage? It seems essential to keep lumber off of concrete to keep moisture from seeping into the ends. Problem is my ceilings aren't really tall enough to pull that off.

@JayBates2

Vertical storage has a lot of problems but the one main advantage is being able to access more stuff easier. It's a trade off.

For sure. After doing a quick Google search, I see a few ideas I might pursue. I have a long hallway attached to my shop with 9 foot tall ceilings that would work for all but the longest pieces. Thanks for the idea! Loved Wayne's shop tour, got some great ideas from the video.

Awesome shop set-up gentlemen. Wayne, I have almost all of the same tools you have! I love the island setup. I am just in the process of doing my shop (20 x 30) and I was worried about where I was going to put all my individual stations - problem solved! I notice the incra fence that you have - I have the same saw and am not happy with it - I'll check out that and see whether it will solve the issues that I have. Again, thanks to both of you guys......

I love the idea of the large dowel for the clamps.

Great tour!, Thanks for showing, I'm in a 11x20 shed , Love both your shops, if I can I'm going to make a mini version :) really dig the tool rack.

Nice layout. You have given me some ideas on how to arrange my shop. My shop is pole building construction and one of the troubles I have been having is that dead center in my shop is a pole. I think I can do a take on your island idea and have the pole in the center of the island, about where your dust collector is. Thanks for the video. I keep cheez-its by my work bench also.

Great tour Jay, awesome shop Wayne! A "watch and learn" video. ;-)

like the tool holder. Very nice and simple

Thanks for sharing cool set up on the shop

Very nice ! Great ideas Only issue I see is the reading the incra while your setting it on the table saw. I have the same fence and you sometimes need to lean over it to read it. Otherwise I love it. Funny how with a few items moved around space just opens up. Thanks for the tour!

Sweet set up Wayne, very nice! Im a sucker for shop tours. Good commentary jb

Great shop Wayne!

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing!

Nice!! I was looking for a video to show how to maximize your layout and this works well.

Beautiful shop

I wish I had that much centre space. It seems like a good use of space to keep all of the dust making tools together with the dust extractor. But I'm sort of coming around to the idea of a centre assembly table as that's what I generally use my table saw bench for!
