The combination of woodworking and video editing skills makes this channel great!

Tip number 6: if your workshop walls are bare studs, panel them with OSB. It’s inexpensive and will give you infinitely more mounting points and flexibility for storage solutions.

Hi. I really like this channel, gives me lot of tips and its good to see how other people woodwork in smaller places :) One tip tho, that i've been thinking about is the names of your videos. I understand there is a good makerting reason, but id love to see something in the title that is refering to what you going to do/ talk about in the video! Keep up the good work, Swedish Woodworker :)

Buffalo. I am going through a purge myself. During the pandemic, I collected (hoarded) tons of tools and "projects." I was just telling a friend about putting a piece of painters tape on things and marking the date you last used it. It really holds me accountable for what I keep! Thanks as always for the great content.

I'm from BUFFALO! Seriously, most of my family is still there! I really like this video. I actually have nearly twice as much raw space as you but it's shared with laundry, furnace, water heater, other gear storage, cat litter box, and WAY too much crap I don't really need! I'm trying to downsize declutter and optimize so I needed to hear all this. Thanks for all you do!

Buffalo! Throwing away the Festool drill and Domino had me cackling, thanks for the laugh! 😂😂😂😂😂

My garage shop is only a little larger than yours. But, I need to maintain a walkway through the shop since this is where we unload groceries and go in and out, etc. Putting everything on wheels is paramount to working in a small space. I built a heavy, solid bench and designed it with retractable wheels so it sits solidly on the floor until I need to move it. The stacked tool box is another great tool. Look around any old-timers shop and you will see one. Must be a reason. Also, have you seen the vertical clamp hanging system on Inspire Woodworking channel. It's genius. I have incorporated an 8 hole version into my bench legs for "often reached for" 4" and 6" clamps. Thanks for another great video.

Buffalo! I just started watching your channel, and it is refreshing to see someone who works in a small shop like many of us. Helping us make the choices needed to scale down and work within your limits is nice to see. Thanks!

Small space? You mean like my 8'x10' metal garden shed? Yeah, my husband bought it for me for Christmas. I built the floor (there's not a flat spot on the property) and put the thing together. Dealt with a major leakage issue (still trying to resolve the last little bit, almost there), and moving all my tools scattered all over (in the barn, in the house, on the back porch) into one place and organize them. Maybe now I'll know what I have and what I need? And maybe, just maybe, I can actually get stuff built, AND finished! Thankfully, most of what I need to build is small stuff.

Buffalo!!!! Nice psych with throwing away the Domino!😂

Buffalo. As a hoarder it's impossible to get rid of anything! During the recent cold spell, I did burn some small useless scraps of wood that I kept for no good reason.....

Buffalo. Hold on so your telling me I don’t need 5 combo squares and every scrap piece of hardwood I ever cut.

Hi. I just wanted to say thank you. I am a van lifer and the ONLY way to get anything done is customization. There is no choice. So at an advanced age I am having to learn a whole bunch of new skills. Like table saws and routers, especially routers. I'll be honest I make a mess. I cover stuff up well but I really need to learn and improve my skills. I also do not have an income so no money for expensive tools that I might only use once. Harbor Freight is my friend!! I am hooked on your down to earth honest approach. A confined space and a lot of ingenuity to overcome not being an eccentric millionaire. I totally relate. So you have helped me with the woodworking angle. I still wrestle with the 8020 profile stuff and everything from electrics to caulking. I get it done though. Thank you very much and I am ploughing through your complete library. You are the best and I shall follow you forever.

When my last Dewalt 18v nicad battery quit I decided to upgrade to Kobalt 24v, love them, then I gave the full Dewalt set to a friend who had had his tools stolen, I told hin to just buy a few 20v lithium adapters for them, very happy to help out a friend. Buffalo

The buffalo may roam but thank you for the helpful ideas!!

Now imagine what a small shop looks like when you do woodwork, carpentry, small engine repair, metal work, gardening, computer setup and repair, and restorations. Still working on my shop setup lol

fubalo. great job. I have moved from a large home with a small shop to a small home with a large shop. i am still unpacking as I still have that 50 hour a week engineering job and still getting the house in order. What a mind shock to remove the overstock tools. I had accumulated a family friend's left over tools and still have not cataloged that stuff as I am opening up boxes that were in storage for over a year. fubalo is a screwed up buffalo. Keep up the great work.

I always wonder about folks that keep several brands of battery operated tools --battery inventory must be a pain

Buffalo. Thank you for your video about getting rid of accumulated items. I've spend years saving screws and bolts but I can't find the right size when I need them. I even have drills that haven't worked in years thinking I'm going to fix them. I also have two table saws and two compound miters saws. Each type I have a 7 1/2" and a 10" blade version. Thank you for reminding me how much clutter I have. I'll thin out some of my "stuff".

Buffalo. As a LEAN practioner throughout my career, the concept that I see in most things is that people will always fill up the space they have available. So not having a lot of space is actually a benefit to not needing to worry about flow. You aren't wasting your time going from one side of the 3 car garage to the other to do the next phase of the job you are working on. If at some point in your future, you have more space, I would recommend limiting yourself to a small portion of that space so you don't create waste in the work you are doing.

I never see people say specialize in using tools that fit in small shops. You don't need to build furniture and cabinets which take a lot of money, room and equipment. You can build an entire career using a scroll saw in just a few square feet. Same with a lathe, or a router. A small versatile piece of equipment can pay for its self quickly and make beautiful projects and as much money as you choose. You will never run out if projects or learn everything there is to know about any of those three tools even if you work in one closet of your apartment. Specializing lets you become a master at something rather than just good at lots of things.

Buffalo! All I can hear is the slot machine in Las Vegas. 🤣 Its so easy to accumulate stuff. Had a 2-1/2 car garage/shop for 20+ years and I accumulated so much stuff. We moved 1500+ miles and I purged a ton. Now back into a 3 car garage and just need to keep from acquiring a ton of stuff I don't need. Its going to be a fun build to get into shape.

Can’t imagine a cold garage in Buffalo this weekend! Merry Christmas!

Buffalo, great video! Again, really appreciate how relatable you are. Great ideas. Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching!

I have a third car garage to use! I have been putting all equipment on wheels! My dad always mounts all his tool and screw cabinets on the wall! So times you just got to use what you have and make it work😊. If you wait till you have a perfect shop you will never make anything or build something.

Not near Buffalo, rather on the other side of the ocean. I'm in the design phase of my new workshop in an old house I will renovate and have come up with a, possibly, interesting wall organization system that I'd love opinions on. The space is a 300+ year old 3 story stone house shell, with a 8m x 5m interior footprint and 50cm thick exterior walls with no interior columns and currently no partition walls. Or upper floors. Spacious. Wavy rough concrete floor, new roof 10m up with a skylight, and almost nothing in between. Does have entrances on the first two levels, so I can have the entire ground floor as the workshop and access the upper floors without an interior stairs in the shop. I'm stripping the plaster from the stones now up to the, to be added, first floor, intending to clean and deep repoint them to have just bare rock walls. Its rubble stone work, and I know this space was at least partially destroyed in WWII so the stonework will be a patchwork of sizes and will include roof tiles in the mix. One of the advantages of rubble stone walls is that if you "blow them up", almost all of your rebuilding materials (at least for the exterior walls) is just laying on the ground needing to be stacked back up with fresh mortar. Then go cut a couple of trees (2-3 depending) and some new roof tiles and you have a house again. The "ceiling" will be exposed wood beams and the underside of T&G planking. I don't want to cover all the stone with paneling just for wall storage, but I really like exposed storage even for hand tools. And I will be putting in a partial partition wall to have as a wet wall for the upper floors. So here's the system I came up with for invisible wall storage. It is based around standard concrete reinforcement mesh. This is a steel mesh with 3-4mm wires welded intersections spaced at 125mm in both directions that comes in a standard sheet of 3m x 2m. What I'm going to do is: 0) Leave the mesh bare, allowing the surface corrosion. 1) Mount a 3m x 1m strip on standoffs drilled into the rock, above bench height on one wall. Under this will be the standard location for one of my wheeled benches. 2) Build a frame to support 4 relatively closely spaced panels. 3 on full length pullout pantry type sliders, and the front one fixed vertically for stability. The panels would have a leading wheel running in an off the shelf U channel on the floor, so the slider doesn't have to hold the weight. The panels would be a plywood and box tube combination outer frame supporting in tension in both directions a 1.5x2.5m grid mesh vertically. The storage system will hang on the grids, made up of simple 3D printed or laser cut hooks, platforms, boxes, shelves, lights, etc. All will have a lip hook or even clamping assemblies to hang on the grid wires. The intent of #2, is to have one full height grid always accessible, with one of the other three able to be pulled out as needed depending upon the project in process. And all 4 layers can be viewed through so its easy to see which layer to pull out. This will be along the partial partition that I'm building in. Combined with the wall grid and I can easily reconfigure my workbench wall with the project specific tooling by swapping things out of the pullouts. Aside from where items are racked, the grid on the wall should turn relatively invisible, not blocking the stonework. Clearly I like your ideas regarding vertical storage. And yes, wheels on everything, even if you think a setup is fixed, you need to often get behind things like for running cables or hoses. Or for that really good sweep out. One really cool item the space has is a full 5m span I Beam girder already in place. Definitely going to have a travelling winch on that. One of my principal tools that's arriving in March for my new shop is a 40x40x40 cm work volume combination Dual head 3D printer, 200w CNC router, and 10w Laser (not hawking, so not naming the brand). I'm going to build my work benches out of reclaimed beams from this house, post and beam style since the beams are 16x16 cm or larger, but when I do I will make sure the bench height is the same as the CNC router waste plate height, so in theory I could do longer CNC cuts by just stepping the panel. I'm also looking forward to experimenting with CNC milling decorative shapes into wood and then using the laser for some dot shading by scorching some of the wood. I'm also interested in possibly 3D printing shapes and then either milling certain features with any of a number of Dremel style bits including cut off disks, or possibly using the laser to selectively fuse for strength or melt in fine details... Ah, got rambling talking about tools. sorry for the TLDR :)

Buffalo! Too cold for my geezing knees! Roll arounds are a huge space saver, purging is a gotta do. Crap accumulates. Space under stairs is also a great place, but not if you just sling stuff into that void. Rack it out first so you can keep GOOD shorts of nice wood accessible without just being a pile. Under part of the stairway up to the raised section in the shop I have two filing cabinets, that's where less often used power and air tools and their accessories get stored. Space over the filing cabinets gets used for hanging extension cords, air hoses, stuff that just doesn't fit in drawers and tends to just be in the way even when using them, but even more in the way when just laying around. Mobile bases are huge, you have got that one dead right. The underside of my mezzanine is used for all sorts of lighter weight item storage. Balsa, unbuild model boat kits, whatever, 8 foot lengths of 1X2 spanning the joists spaced about 10 inches apart with a 24 inch open section in the middle lets you slide dowels, RC aircraft wings and fuselages, anything long, fragile, and light up and in, while the open grid work gives support for sheets of veneer and light labelled boxes. Keeping it open eliminates the urge to just toss stuff up there. My shop is a mixed sort of place so storing stuff for woodworking and model making adds to the joy.

Buffalo-No wonder you don’t have the money to move up if you keep buying and pitching Festool tools!🤣

Hey, my home town is Buffalo! Thanks for all the great tips. I am envious of your organization skills. The hardest part for me when it comes to organizing is settling on what system I'm gonna use.

Buffalo, "Yes Luke, throw away the F*****L drill. Keep the orange and light green tools. Feel the cheaper force." I agree, clutter can be more than off-cuts. Pare it down and be happy.

Buffalo: Working backwards in a 12x24 'bard' roof shed I share with a riding mower and lawn equipment....Going vertical - and up - was the best thought ever! Cover the studs with OSB (sort of expensive this year) but put 1/2" foam board inside for cheap insulation. I tried Fench cleats and covered all the available wall space but, in the end, built more drawer storage into French cleat-hung, movable small cabinets. All stationary tools are on 3" locking wheels; I can get a broom under each without having to move anything. Inside tool stands are shelves and more storage, including a 1 gallon compressor. (I lined to inside to absorb noise.) At 8 feet there is loft storage accessible with a 10-foot ladder that hangs horizontally on hooks on a ceiling joist. Lumber storage is around the room about 18 inches from the ceiling joists. There's more, but it's good to see other people working in small spaces. Thanks!

Buffalo. Just retired and wood is my hobby. I am looking forward to this. Thanks.

Buffalo, speaking of I'd like to see them win a Super Bowl. Great tips here, I'm glad I'm doing all of them, but need to build more mobile stands. I think I'm due for another round of getting rid of tools I don't need as well. 👍

Buffalo, from South Africa... I also work in a single garage. I am about to put wheels on my table saw which is the only 'large' item I have requiring moving around. It has to be moved to allow the two motorbikes to park in the garage. We had our kitchen cupboards redone recently and (some of) the old ones make for great storage.

Buffalo... My first workshop as it were, was the back patio of my apartment. I had a Craftsman rolling tool cabinet to hold my tools. The only place I could put that was my kitchen.. it was a start

BUFFALO, You really hit a lot of truth in this video. Over the years i have done a lot of different things in my shop layout and your absolutely right when it comes to being mobile and floor space being so important. I am still trying to find the right mix for myself but i am getting closer. I completely agree with your stance on tool boxes i have a bunch and when shopping in the used market you can get some amazing deals. One issue i have to address in my own shop is that if I cant find something I own what good is it? I have all my mechanics tools in its own toolbox and I spent a lot of time organizing it and that works awesome but a few other types of tools need that treatment. I also built a wood shed this summer so some of my lumber doesn't have to be in the shop.

Buffalo. Thanks for the video. I work out of one stall of a two car garage that is also a storage room for too much stuff. This spring will be a major purge to setup a real workshop.

Buffalo. Just a caution about going vertical: Trussed roof systems like this are not rated to hold ANY static load and should not used for storage. Generally, you can get away with throwing lightweight items up there, but those chords are there to hold the system in tension, not support loads. And never, ever cut them to make more storage space.

Hey Buffalo, I moved from a small garage to a big shop 1.5 years ago. I did exactly what you are talking about. Even having muuuuuch more space, I managed to fill it with lots of big machines a "real woodworker" has to have.....thanks Craigslist and Marketplace deals..... and suddenly your small garage tips apply to a place much bigger. Keep up the good work.

My garage is so small I can't even get a buffalo into it. I'm starting from scratch in my small space so your tips are buffalicious. thanks again... good content.

I too have both my main benches on wheels and my thicknesser, it makes sense

Great tips! Merry Christmas!

Buffalo. Thanks for the helpful tips. I'm a novice woodworker in central Florida. Anyone in Florida doing a purge, let me know!

Buffalo. Great ideas. I too have a small space (a 4.5 metre by 7 metre garage) which is way too cluttered, and there are many tools I bought to do a specific project and haven't used again. I really need to get rid of them but tell myself that they don't take much space and might come in handy one day. It's hard to change old habits.

Bison Found your channel recently, and enjoying your videos! Thanks!

The pure nugget of wisdom at 10:40 "Tool chests are an fantastic way to store and organize tools." are why we keep coming back. Follow up videos, "Did you know that saws are an excellent way to cut wood into smaller pieces?" "Drills make it possible to put holes into most solid surfaces, like wood."

Buffalo: I really appreciate your presentation style and content. I too have a small workshop space about your garage carved out in a portion of my walkout basement. This video has given me some ideas and “permissions” to purge some stuff. Thanks!

Buffalo. I really thought you where going to throw the Domino away 😂😂 great humor. You are correct on all your points, I have a small shop and keep as much organized as I can and flow doesn’t matter. Two steps here and three extra steps there matter not. Same goes for the tool chest vs building drawers. Too time consuming Jajaja. Great job man.

Chipmmunk..this made a nice change from the ten tools you MUST own and is definitely good advice for a Gollum like me...''my precious''. merry Christmas

A BUFFALO makes a poor storage unit or work surface. This is why I keep the BUFFALO outside.

I used to live near BUFFALO.... sort of. We lived in Hilton, NY. Love all your videos!!

I have a 10x12 shed I want to work in and that shed also has all my lawn and garden stuff in it. I’m building a small workbench soon (on wheels). I’ll have a much better idea about organization after that’s done. Also, Buffalo

Buffalo - One suggestion - pens/pencils/markers go in a tin can. It's long and well documented woodworking LAW. Don't break the law! 😂😂

I found that as soon as I removed the buffalo from my shop I had more room

I dropped in just to make sure the Festools were still OK. Phew...

Buffalo. Some great tips, I'm in the UK and my space is 10x10ft. Agree with you so much on flow and ignoring it in a small space. Flow also really only makes sense commercially

Buffalo. Love your Insert "add" here. ;) Great ideas and suggestions, especially with going vertical. I've put up those large platforms over one of my garage doors so I can store some of the bulkier things easier.

Buffalo! Love you content. Thank you for being honest about not needing all the stuff.

Buffalo! Thanks for the support to "LET IT GO!!!" Now I just have to make the mind to hand to outbox connection.

Buffalo, is exactly what your trying to do to everyone pretending you don't love Flow, she's awesome... Seriously been loving your videos, keep it up.

Buffalo, great recommendation to get rid of crap. Now I just need to convince myself to do it! 😂

"Not that Flo" Guess who advertised when I opened this video! LOL

the more stuff you have the more of that stuff you lose or lose track of.

Buffalo. Looks like you know me LOL. I find it tough to get rid of stuff, but I don't think I'm alone. Nice Job Thanks

Bufalo . One of the best advice on YT on how to organise your shop. I totaly understand the problem of buying toooooooo many tools

Man our situations are so similar. 10x17 garage, one 15 amp circuit on the ceiling. I've really enjoyed my french cleats to save some space. Still have some old shelves I need to take down.

Buffalo. Putting the workbench on wheels was a game changer for me (still in a garage I need to move the car out of to work, but that's minor). Sometimes you can find brackets at the dollar store that screw into roof joists that you can then store wood in (great for longer pieces and doesn't require as tall a ladder (just need to have the garage space)

Great video. Comparatively, I have a shop that could house a family of BUFFALO (2 car garage with a couple of side spaces... about 700sqf total), so SOME of your advice was not for me (don't need everything on wheels). But I confess, I'm a tool hoarder and am in SERIOUS need of a down-scaling, and re-org of my space.

BUFFALO Always looking for more ways to Save Space! Thanks Eric.

Buffalo - Similar thoughts as Lincoln Dickerson and others. Workflow is not a static concept. I think you have a built-in dynamic flow concept in that you employ the tool you need at the time you need it. Is it as efficient as a larger shop with lots of circuits and stations for each tool - of course not. But it is nearly as efficient as you can make it in your circumstances. Whatever is not efficient, you have shown the ability to adapt to your requirements and overcome obstacles. I find that encouraging.

buffalo, you are it. i have a 20 by 20 space with circuits 1-15 amp, 2-20 amp and 1-220 volt and consider myself very lucky. almost everything is on casters. agree with all your tips except i can't go vertical. tip #6 is the stealth shop...space outside the designated shop...creeping expansion into the adjacent section of the unfinished basement. so far, the bride has not objected, except that all but the lowest odor finishes have to be applied outside...not very convenient in winter. i need to cull the herd of tools and materials, but not as good at that as you are. wood working is a great hobby but it has a big footprint. enjoyed the video, thanks!

Buffalo. The tool chest tip is great. Another thing to watch out for is old cabinets that people tear out for remodels. I was able to re-purpose a long set of cabinets that originally hung above a stove into an 8 foot long miter saw station with cabinets. To build something like that would have cost me a tremendous amount of money in wood and hardware. I just cut some plywood for the top and now it's a great work space and miter saw station. I also took another piece from that same kitchen remodel and made a rolling cart with it....and the best thing about it is that the only cost was a few screws, caster wheels, and a bit of plywood for the top! The best part about all of that? The cabinets are all made from a mix of solid oak and baltic birch from the 1990s. It looks amazing!!!

Buffallllo soldier....dreads like Rasta! Keep up the great videos my friend!

Buffalo is the armpit of America. I love the piece on shop space. Unfortunately, I am in a small basement space that has a vapor barrier on the walls so I cannot put anything on the walls. I am going to act on your suggestion to purge the unused items. Thanks for the great content.

Buffalo, you always have the best ideas for small shop spaces. Thanks for sharing!

Buffalo. I have inherited so many tools from my father in law, dad and grandfather's. I so relate to this. I made starter tool sets for my kids and donated the remainder to our high school. They were very happy to accept. Thanks!!

I wonder how you get by with a workshop in apartments. Most people would complain about noise, but not bat an eye at someone blasting music to the heights decibel.

Buffalo...this is one of the best videos Ive seen on storage in a small shop. Your comments about maximizing space vs having every tool in order of when theyd be use is right on the money.

My shop is 20' shipping container with a single 20 amp outlet. It's just wide enough to get a vehicle in so long as you don't want to open the door to get out of the truck. It's amazing how much you can get done in such a confined space with just a little planning.

Wish I had a "Small space" like that.

Buffalo., so true, I’m going through this too, tools I haven’t touched in years, I built cabinets with lots of drawers and filled all the drawers but I’m still not that organized, time to start selling the tools I haven’t touched in years.

Buffalo. Im currently looking into ways i can retrofit my 3rd bay of my garage into a mini wood shop/mechanic work area. I want to start off with a larger husky 52" tool chest coupled with some matching standup storage boxes. Its a costly expenditure by itself but desperately needed for all my tools. I have a 3 tier craftsman box i want to re-dedicate to wood working tools ONLY. Chisels, bits, saws, hammers, drills, routers, etc. I like the milwaukee packout wall storage but wow what a sticker shock on accessories. Then amazon sells some metal pegboard walls that are really nice but expensive as well. Definitely going to use some of your tips and make some roll around boxes. Alot of wishes, not enough time or money!

my theory is that in a small space you are forced by the surroundings to leave each tool to its place whereas in a large space sooner or later you end up with tools scattered everywhere,you gain my respect,thank you

Some great Buffalo tips. I really need to clean out my toolbox too - it’s been years and I know it’s full of crap!

Buffalo. A peg board works well for all that small stuff.

Buffalo. Just found your channel yesterday and have watched a few and already subscribed. I can definitely relate to working into a small space.

Buffalo. Get rid of tools !!! Don't you know, the guy that has most tools the day he goes to the final workshop, is the winner. 8-))

I'm from the UK and here that would not be considered a small workshop. You would have 5 full time professionals trying to use that size of workshop here

Buffalo.... good advice. In the same predicament

First i will be coming to your house and checking your trash for tools thanks. I have a small building a 1 car garage I just built into a work shop . I used cleat walls on two sides amazing how much space I gained .I will be going to the fleamarket with all the extra tools I found organizing my new space.Great advise about purging and using the rafters .

Buffalo! I have a 48'X48' pole building... not bragging. ASHAMED! It's full of??? It's time to purge! Great video!

Buffalo. Man it’s a pain being in such a small space. I’m in roughly 15x15 but I look forward to offloading all my stuff that I don’t use.

Buffalo : Great advice, I’m reaching maximum content in my garage. Now, let me just say that I have everything I need and a place for everything but I have to be serious, if I want more something’s have get rid of a few things. I have a hard time selling my stuff 😢😬

Buffalo! Damn bro lol I was gonna say if u want to throw away that festool domino I’ll take it off your hands. I’ve been wanting one of those!

Really good advice! It's so easy to just push stuff around and clutter up a space, regardless of size, that it becomes a problem later. Awesome to see such an efficient use of space!

Celeste sounds like the Priest class in World of Warcraft. Holy for healing and Shadow for damage.

Couple of additions. First, a drill bit dispenser cabinet, the kind that stores the bits in drawers that slide out, is a very nice thing. The little plastic index cases that common bits come in are super annoying when you try to dig the bit you want out from too-tight slots they're in using your giant Homer fingers, or when you just can't be bothered to fight 'em back into the right slot and then have to get the calipers out later to know what size a bit is. I recommend one of the cabinets that go from 1/16" to 1/2" in 1/16" increments; it's unusual to need a common bit larger than 1/2". Vevor makes a decent one for about $50; saves a lot of hassle and time. Second, that inherited tool chest, being principally composed of non-flammable steel, is a good place to keep solvents and other flammables; just sayin'. Decent alternative, typically easily found for free, is a disused metal filing cabinet.

I missed the exposed truth but stuck around for the buffalo

Buffalo. I started my purge a few months ago, but then life got in the way. This video definitely has inspired me to get back out there and finish. If only it would warm back up. Thank you for encouraging the "forget about flow" mindset. Part of what encourage my purge was I finally invested in a CNC. This has been a dream for several years and it's the direction I've wanted to take my work for sometime, but it does take up a good chunk of space in a small shop (18'x20'). I've watched a couple of other videos that say the same thing, so I'm also in the process of going back and putting wheels on everything. Hopefully I can get this done soon and get back to the fun part of making stuff.
