EC's Shop Remodel 

Many different designs for each type of project are also included. For example, there are hundreds of designs ru-vid.comUgkxb2mhCug-GkCWrq69Ce2I0nM0D4QpxAqu for outdoor buildings, from small sheds all the way up to a complete stable. Choose whatever type of shed or storage house is right for you. Pick from fancy ones or more utilitarian designs.

At 74, I'm a lot slower and more deliberate, especially on scaffolding! It always takes a couple of hours to get cautiously comfortable. Everything is heavier than it used to be, so frequent breaks are necessary. Great job!

I’m 30 years old watching you do this by yourself at 60+; super impressed. I do get a laugh when I listen to you guys on EC2 and your talking about using your body like rented equipment 😂 Same old dog up to his same old tricks! Awesome to watch, keep it rolling

Hi Ken! Hi Dave! Hey Mrs. EC! Lordy.....no wonder why you're such a HERO to so many who come here Scott! fabulous. just fabulous.

Here there am in KENYA -Africa i really appriciate your videos and the explanation and advice you give. "Keep up the good work"

Scott, I always enjoy your videos. There's something that I learn or that affirms something that I do. Also, it is good to see a guy my age working alone because you can keep up with me, unlike employees half my age who say it is too hard. Of course, I started out with guys who apprenticed before electric saws or even paint rollers. Sometimes when I use a backup nail or my scratch awl when toe nailing I feel like I am being too dependent on a crutch. I guess Newtonian physics really hasn't changed. Having an immovable object to control an applied force still helps. You make frequent reference to workplace safety and good practice. I just watched the sawmill episode where you complimented the young man's adding a blade guard to the sawmill you once owned. In that context, I have to take exception with your shortcuts on scaffolding in this video. Many young craft workers post here that they look up to your example. Falls from height are a too frequent occurrence in our industry. Part of construction's decades long rank as the 3rd most dangerous occupation in America. My masonry subcontractor was working from on tier of 6' frames when a mason's tender decade fell to his death. The founder of an abatement and demo contractor I work with was the only person on site not using fall arrest, just because he never had before, when he fell. His children faced the awful decision to keep or end life support. I fell through a stairwell opening when my employee pulled the plywood covering off the opening to use it elswhere. A deficiency in scaffold railing that only existed for 5 minutes, due to my own error, led to an employee's fall and total paralysis. We all teach by example. It is everyone's responsibility to keep the examples positive.

Can I just say again how happy I am you went up to Dave Engels shop? Been watching him masterful work for three years now and the two of you together were a neat treat.

Scott you are a machine, your energy and inginuity are awe inspiring . That shop is amazing , im glad to see your next peoject is underway and cant wait to see what you create next.

Every time I watch, I learn. Today it was the nail when toe nailing. So simple. I cannot count the times I've hammered joists and studs back into place. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Engage safety squinks and get mom on speed dial. Keep up the good work!

The way that you were moving those full sheets of plywood on the scaffolding was incredible. I guess you have to be over 55 to really appreciate the strength that this man has. Great video

Dave Engel is a really nice guy and is very generous with his know how and expertise.

I appreciate how you demonstrate how a skilled craftsman can accomplish a lot of work solo.

Scott I've been a Carpenter/Joinery since the eightys I'm in late 50s worked in London all my year's you are my Guru yore the peter pan of carpenters you've inspired me to keep keeping on I salute you. You're workshop is epic

I'd like to think we would all like to be sitting in that shop, smoking a pipe, and admiring the work. But alas, enjoying your videos will have to do. Wonderful to follow along as always. Thanks EC!

Ah man, that smile on Scott’s face, when he’s slapping that new saw 😄

That trick with toe nailing the board was great! Great video

I love how your buddy sitting there watching you work. Moral support.

I first ran across the Tajima chalk line in the mid 90s. I took a class from a guy that had been in Japan and he had one. No one in our area carried them until about 15 years ago. They are the best chalk line I have ever used.

Despite the sense of accomplishment you have for the work up to this point, nothing compares to the obvious delight in your voice about whatever is wrapped in that plastic. Can't wait to share the new phase of the EC journey. Thanks for bringing us along.

Your workshop amazes me. My grandfather's and their fathers had dirt floors and very little to no insulation. They built their own furniture, additions to their homes, entire homes and buildings. For some reason having a concrete floor and an enclosed building with heat I can still find excuses why my projects don't get done. I'm working on that. I've completed a few more projects this winter than ever before

19:05 Giggly exited like a 5-year-old with new toys

When you slap that saw it sure sounded like a solid chunk of cast-iron no flimsy sheet metal saw

It’s nice to have good and talented friends. It says a lot about you that you attract such good people.

Working on a one man crew is enjoyable to me, I like the problem solving process that comes along with doing a job that would normally be done with two or three guys and then standing back and admiring your work when it's all done. Keep up the good work! I have the same Wilton band saw, it's a handy and robust little saw, perfect for my small garage workshop.

Oh Scott, You did again. You made me smile Buddy.

Glad to see Dave's doing well

Who needs a cordless saw when have a corded saw love it......

Carpenter/contractor/craftsman from Saskatchewan here. Great job! Love your shop, the blend of old and new. I’m gonna get out in the morning to my own shop and start tuning it up a bit!

This channel, somehow, keeps getting better! I'm in awe of the work you do, sir.

I can see the excitement in your face for that new (old) saw.

Glad you like the chalk box! I loved mine, and figured you would as well.

Don’t be so critical of yourself. Your father would be proud and God is always proud. Keep up the good work.

So good to see you with the Skilsaw back in your hands.

Good work on the shop build. I always learn something when I watch your channel. I am 78 and still like to work in my shop.

SO MUCH FUN!!! ❤️ This is one of the most enjoyable video in your wonderful world of construction. Full of self-efficacy, resourcefulness and self-reliance. The editing, snappy pace graced with great music just have an exciting rhythm to it. Wishing you all safe always and meaningful year ahead.

That crane makes everything so much quicker

Wow great job Scott. Looking a little different. And for an old guy 😉 you still got it.

Love this old-school get-it-done workmanship!

I love it, I really like big tall plywood walls in a shop for display, it has a function, but I really like seeing all the stuff hanging up. I also like the wood look in a shop, feels more appropriate than drywall, and more durable and functional in my opinion.

Very exciting guys and I've got to say I'm a little jealous. Very cool!

The irony, I was out correcting some of the neglect in my shop this morning. Came in for lunch and there's a new EC video! The genuine enthusiasm for your new saw is infectious. I hope it works out well for you! Keep up the good work!

This shop is a literal fantasy to me...some day I hope to have something that's even a fraction as great

I am excited to see what you do with your new saw, the one Dave Engel has is something special.

Always a pleasure to see you set-up and work so smartly. Best. PEK.

It's amazing how productive a good crane can make you. I'm constantly coming up with new uses for our 10 ton crane at work.

Love it whenever I run across videos that I can press the like button even before watching it. Amazing content as usual. 🙏

Great to see you working in the shop again!

I love welding my own brackets out of steel. Glad to see im not the only one who does it

Nothing feels as good as safely and successfully removing a bearing beam/pole from the middle of some space and opening up an entire area!

Small tidbit, glad you like Dave and Diane, Dave was probably just starting his wagon wright business, when I worked for Diane’s brother Jess on the family farm in Montana growing up as a young man, great family

What a joy to see you working in the workshop again. Can’t wait for the next instalment!

That is a solid Coleman lantern collection!

I just have to tell you I bought the buckaroo belt and ended up putting some akribis leather bags on it and I LOVE IT! We own a 1920's farmhouse that needs a complete remodel and this last yearI watched about every single video you put out as I build our 2 story on a full basement addition (with my cheap HD husky bags) I've come a long ways and I just wanted to say thanks for all the knowledge and wisdom!

They are my favorite chalk boxes by far

It's about time. I know you guys are busy (an understatement) but that shop...man, this is a welcome sight to finally see it upgraded...lordy.

I'm in my late 40's, and can appreciate other that work smarter, then harder. So glad I found your channel. And younger men an woman could gather tips from your content.

You are literally an inspiration.

Watched the Swiss family Robinson last night, you are the real life version, you'd never be stuck shipwrecked, amazing work :)

Awesome to see EC excited over a new saw!! Can’t wait to see what you get up to with it!

Exciting times ahead looking forward to seeing the new toy

Can wait to see what you make with the new bandsaw!

This is a lot of work and Scott makes it look easy but it is still quite an undertaking. Hope that all the improvements work out and I look forward to the new saw.

You can see how absolutely thrilled you are about the new saw. Love it.

Good to see Dave moving so well.

Hey Scott, great to see you again!

Yet another pleasure to watch.

Always a pleasure watching you work.✌

Going through a shop remodel myself. At 77, in the middle of Michigan winter is no fun. Only can work a couple hours a day. Good luck with your expansion

'bout twelve grand in sheet goods there 😆😆 Always rewinding parts of your videos, watching you work and the smoothness is something to be detailed!

I just so love seeing you work with a Skill Saw! Well, mainly because I was a framer for twenty five years, and I also hate to see folks using circular saws for that. Actually I used mine to build even furniture. Thanks again ☝️🙂✝️

Yep I work in a wood shop some 20 plus years ago we had a big old power feed table saw

No wonder I can't find an anvil, you've got them all!

So happy to see this project. It does my heart good, I can only imagine the impact on yours. Thanks for letting us tag along.

Looking forward to see the sliding table saw in action - that's my guess

you problem solving skills are amazing and efficient

Always watching these Oregonians. If it's not EC it's Graveyard Carz. Something in the water out there.

Tajimas are the best chalk boxes by far!

It is great to see the workshop again! The spec house project was an amazing undertaking, but the workshop videos were also really fun and interesting to watch.

Boost your engineering knowledge here by learning best construction practices💯💯🇺🇲🇺🇲

you are one hard working man !!!

Congratulations what a good feeling it is to just become a little more organized and some new tools!!

It is a pleasure to watch a good-hearted, capable man do his work. Needed a little bit of an emotional break from the world's crises. What better break than to watch Scott work? heh.

Great end teaser. Eagerly awaiting next video!

Just fantastic, as usual. Thank you guys for these vids.

Love the toe nail tip, iv never thought of that but I will definitely use it now thanks

You and Dave Engels have become some of my favorites ok n youtube. Nothing pretentious........alot like the old "Dragnet" series, just the facts mam, just the facts. Good down to earth people.

that crane is a game changer!

Loved this old chap. Mr Engles workshop is amazing and can't wait for the new machine. You could make a grinding room and get ruff insulation as you say there. Hehehe.

Just WOW!

That was (is) totally awesome, I love watching the method and manner in which you work so productively. Thank you for this, and keep up the great work. Jim.

Scott, not only have you done, as always, a great job, but it's refreshing to see other guys getting just as jazzed up about a new tool as I do! I saw your visit to Daves shop and was quite certain you were getting a table saw like his. At least that's what I would do if I had my druthers!

That toenailing trick is pretty cool. im gonna have to do a lot of framing in a bit and thatll help a lot

Love the saw blade accent. I’m trying to find one in my area. Thank you for sharing.

It is such a pleasure watching the way you work!!! So efficient!! You got a great system and way of doing things!!

The level of excitement for the new saw is very obvious. Keep up the good work!!

Thank God for your Secret Weapon.....lol Looks like a pretty big project and I'm sure the extra hand was appreciated....

I’ve been adding steel tube onto a hi lift jack to push over small diameter trees for years. Just cut a pocket at height, a few pumps to load it then make your cuts. If needed a few more pumps to push it over. I usually stand there and catch the jack so it doesn’t fall over, but that’s for professionals only😏

Scott you are a constant source of inspiration for me and my little shop. Thanks pal.

Great video! Watching the the old man hustle made me tired 😁 Keep up the good work guys.

Looks really good, Scott..!!
