Come a long way from hunting scrapped furniture on the way home from your full time job and sawing wood on the patio floor in the back garden. I hope you're proud of what you've achieved Keith. Genuinely awesome.
Amazing to watch the growth remember watching the old shed build at the other house and watched every video you have made. Most impressive part of this tour was the stash of hat and coat stand material that I saw😊well done Keith.
your channel is really fun because it feels like the most that someone could reasonably do to maximise their home workshop without necessarily making it their full time job
Hi Keith I love all your videos I’ve watched most of them they are great. I’m a disabled woodworker and would love to have my own workshop. Thankyou for your videos
Hey Keith, lovely mate. Congrats on 500 videos, not many people will appreciate the grind in that! I love that little pivot light from Milwaukee, it's fab
Let me start by saying, I am not a woodworking person. I do watch some other channels that talk about their shop set ups. So, my following comment won't carry much weight with those that do this day in and day out. This is the Best tour of someone's shop I have ever watched, and I have been watching these types of videos for the last 10 years, since I retired from the military. I like the entry setup, the detailed inside layout, your video setup, Hell..., I just love your whole shop. If I was to ever want to do woodworking, I would use your setup as the templet for my shop. Best Shop Video ever!!!! Thanks for sharing!
Congrats on 500!! It’s amazing to see how much effort and skill you gained over the years when comparing current videos with older. My fave are your dramatic re-enactments because they’re the best!! 😂 Your work is so clever and accessible. That camera not-tripod is genius. Pask Makes has a DIY plywood quick release mechanism if you wanted to DIY your vice.
I have watched your videos for years...from a garden shed to the work shop you have now.. what an achievement nevermind the following you have now. I love the video content and journey. Wishing you and family an amazing future ahead
ive been around since nearly the very beginning and its great to see the growth that you have achieved. I think the quote about drawers and its where tools go to die I believe comes from Adam Savage, aka Mythbusters. He also has a fabulous channel on RU-vid.
Congratulations on 500 videos! These workshop tours are great, especially as I am in the midst of examining my own workshop layout and looking to make improvements to the flow of work. I look forward to your next 500 and beyond.
Thanks for the tour - what a difference a 2 car garage makes! Totally with you on the drawers; I can see how lots of people don’t like them but I just work better when everything has a home tidied away in a drawer
Wow, Keith you've come a long way since the shed. I remember you building that little extension on the back to house your extractor and thought that was a genius idea. For me, the genius idea in this (now very well thought out) workshop, was the wood storage wall and double doors. Storing material in a dry space is always a problem. Absolute genius. It's great to see your how your workshop and your projects have developed and progressed over the years.
That wooden RU-vid plaque was the first video of yours I came across. I’ve been a faithful follower since. Congrats on all your success and hard work!!
Still blows my mind seeing your earlier videos and where you are today. I know that took a lot of hard work. Just amazing. Lol here i am takin out all the drawers in my shop. They were already here when we bought the house and are just way too deep. Thinking about building a small cabinet with drawers on top and bottom, but smaller. Then using more wall space
Great tour! I've been watching your stuff since the John Heisz collab. When you see all the work and versatile mode-switching summed up like this ... amazing, a model of efficiency! Kind of a trip down memory lane, having seen how most of it came about 😃 I have a tiny garage which is part pantry, part 3d-printer/cnc mill/laser cutter station, part makeshift woodworking bench station. To call it chaos is an insult to chaos. Congrats on 500 vids - hat and coat stands! (That's R'n'B viewer code for "Cheers!")
Great video. Thanks for sharing. You've reached and achieved a lot during the last few years. Thanks for letting us being a part of your journey. I've learnt a lot from you.
It's been really cool following the development of your shop over the years. I'm looking forward to getting into some shop projects of my own in the not too distant future. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Doesn't time fly. I also remember the old shop from years ago. You have a good set up, but believe me. You never finish. Something always comes along that needs space. I smile at the Sauce bottle. I have three. ( different colour tops). PVA glue. Friction polish, and sanding sealer for my lathe finish. And six bins around the shop for scraps. I'll be watching for the 250K roll over. I'm sure it won't be long.
A lot of thought and effort invested, but well worth the results. All your projects are impressive and I learn from every one. The partition wall and door must be from before I discovered your channel so thanks for the link, I'll be watching that next. My still-forming shop is about half the size of yours (would be a dining room if anyone normal lived here) so been thinking what to use for high level lumber storage, and I'm really not sure there's a better way than those simple slotting shelf brackets. Also, people are always throwing stuff like that away so can probably find some for free and save going to waste. Hope your channel brings the prosperity you deserve, Keith.
I believe my first video with you was the "Restoring And Repairing A Mid Century Modern Style Sideboard" from 2017 (had to check on that) which is both amazing and terrifying that it's already that long ago. 244K subscribers and 500 videos - nicely done. Plus I very much appreciate the organization and tidiness of the shop.
😃 Great video Keith. Worth every cut / trim / crop / edit and second of stress. Surprising how many of the changes you have made are still fresh in my memory. Its all looking good but I'm sure it will continue to evolve over time. Thanks for the video Keith 😁👍
Great video Keith. It’s amazing how much you have packed into that space whilst retaining so much working room. Well done on the milestones, they are well deserved.
Have been a big fan of yours for a long time. And its been great to see you evolve your work and workshop. This workshop tour has been most enjoyable and i was going to say the pinnacle, but some things are finished and there is always room to increase efficiency. Thanks you continue to inspire me and my own workshop.
Thanks for the update Keith, that is a great workspace you have there now, with some enviable equipment, thanks for sharing your journey with us it's always interesting and entertaining ! Congratulations on your recent RU-vid milestones, I hope that these contribute towards giving you some deserved income from all your great content, I've followed you since the beginning so appreciate all you've done and the journey you've been on !
Great video, thank you. I am happy to see I am not the only one struggling with PPE. It's very frustrating trying to find ear, eye and lung protection that won't interfere with each other while worn.
Was that 2019 already, omg time flies way to fast :( Have been watching your channel from your first videos. Still love the no nonsense attitude and quality of the videos! 👍 Always such a great treat every Friday after work when the weekend starts! Super jealous at your workshop btw! 😎
Great video, you shop is looking good. Watching the video I think if you made a nice tool cabinet for your hand tools it could benefit the space and be a good video.
Hi Keith, I've been with you from the beginning, and shared a few comments along the way. Your videos are always interesting and presented in a cheerful, clear, no-nonsense manner. Of the videos that pop up from my Subscribed tab, yours are always the first ones I open, so its not surprising that you have gained so many followers over the years. I'm getting older and not doing much these days, but watching you still gives me a great deal of pleasure. Obviously your business has been a success, but nevertheless I thank you for the entertainment and information you have given me.
I watched almost all 500 videos (I think I skipped a few in the beginning), including the building of your old workshop (I think some of the early videos are actually removed?). Still a great channel and very cool to see the journey you’re going through over the years. Keep up the good work!
Hi Keith. I think you might be remembering Adam Savages assertion, namely: "Drawers are where tools go to die." But he also says that's not an absolute rule... he just wants as many tools as possible *out* and *visible*, (i.e.: what he calls "First Order Retrievability") so as to "not interrupt his flow state" when working.... he's an impatient guy!
Order of first retrieval.... Watching him work and process a problem, has me feeling im not that strange. I'd love to be organised, but its not in my dna and is a real challenge. Things need the place or it ends up in a pile lol Your channel give me inspiration regards to how's, instructional, informative. And a joy to watch and see you achieve. Like the difference between channel 4 and the BBC.... your choice which one you think you are 😂😅😊
Can’t tell you how many ideas I’ve stolen from you or jigs I’ve copied or machines I bought because you had them. Keep up the great work I think I joined the party when you made the Keith caster and 200k subs later your still going strong. Keep it up ❤
Just started watching, but I wanted to jump in before I forget and mention that Adam Savage was the one who said "drawers are where things go to die" or whatever the correct wording was😅 Btw I saw a recent Q'n'A clip where he said he's softened his stance and likes drawers more these days.
It was Adam Savage who said that drawers are the place where things go to die, which he still thinks to a degree but definitely not a hundred percent! It's all about how it works for you.
Love it! Really shows the love you've put into this. The "room for more" at the end made me chuckle :) Motivating me to make some more cabinets to keep out the dust!!!
Great video of your workshop Keith I must admit I like l agree on draws if you keep them tidy and then they is your Milwaukee tools which I am very jealous as a joiner myself I have Milwaukee m18 & m12 3 plane green laser but I still would like a few more m18 tools I see you have the m18 1/2 “ router what’s it like l am big into my packouts dam good they are l am very pleased you have a big following you deserve it please don’t stop doing your videos just done 3 days at the Birmingham NEC furniture show putting up a big stand for a customer we are working for it was great to see other companies and joiners and how they do they jobs 😊
quite jealous of that workshop, starting with the size and the tools inside. Very indepth tour, but I was wondering, what do you do to heat the place? Did I miss that?
Howdy from California. That Grooving blade looks interesting. Can you tell me a little about it? Or direct me toward info? In early part of shop tour. Looks good. But, kind of irritating, because so far I can't get anywhere that neat. That's my problem. Working on it. Smiling whilst I write this.
I am glad you have not found the perfect dust mask because I have no found the right one either and as I am subscribed to your channel if you do find it in the future, I will find it also and that will help me out.
