Ron Paulk's Woodshop Tour 

I've spent the last month building my trailer but I went with a steel 16', v nose, 2060 lbs empty. I wanted to be able to strap 4×8 sheet goods to a wall. I used your long shelf idea for my tracks and paint handles, levels, your adjustable dividers for all my nail guns and containers of pex, copper, kreg and I used your big 8'drawer for shovel, post hole digger and demo tools. This is going to make my life so much easier. No more loading and unloading my truck every day. I built shelves for totes and dedicated those totes for plumbing, painting, sheetrock, tile, cabinetry etc. I'm starting a new apartment building next week and it's going to be so much more efficient. THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT IDEAS.

Your organization is an inspiration to us all. It’s very comforting to always know exactly where stuff is and having it in its place!

I'm blown away at your dedication Ron! So motivating! Thank you

Thank you Ron Appreciate the time you take to share your knowledge with all of us.

I wasnt expecting the tour until the build series was done - excellent surprise. Thanks for sharing and i’m looking forward to the rest of the videos!

Great video Ron! Thank you for all your videos and these awesome trailers!

LIker-Subscriber-Notifier here... I love how sturdy those drawers are - yet only made out of 1/2" plywood! Wow! ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE PASSIVE DRAWER LOCKING STOP.

Thank you Ron for the tour ! You have been inspirational to myself as I have tried to fit my "ART" into a "SMART" sized trailer. Great job!

The commentary makes me think of things that I would not think of until it is too late. Thank you!

Hey Ron, Thanks for a great video and explaining the great work that your walking us through. Thank You!

I love these videos. I don't have a genuine need for a trailer , although I would like one, but I do work out of a very small shop. I have applied many of your design principles to my shop and it has helped me enormously. It has made my space more efficient, more productive cleaner and most of all a pleasant place to work. Thank you for sharing your ideas and for the tremendous amount of work it takes to present them.

Love your videos! I love nerding out in these deep dives.

Awesome video. I really enjoy the details, especially when you build. I learn a lot! Thanks for that and I look forward to the rest (and the new toys video)!

Great stuff. Thanks for sharing your ideas and how you implement. Inspired!

Great video! Love the trailer set up. I used a lot of your ideas in my trailer. The day's work flows so much better!

You're making such amazing videos and tutorials. Count me in for one that wants to purchase plans for the SMART woodshop!

Awesome work Ron! Thanks so much for the deep dive tour. I absolutely love SMART, and am modeling my 12' cutaway with underbody storage on your designs/plans. The same holds true for the trailer that will come later. As always, thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with the world!

Love the overhead cam idea. Love your videos. Very informative and inspiring. Great trailer!

Loving the new smart wood shop. Can’t wait to start building the workstation and putting your plans to work in my shop and on the job.

Thanks for all you are able to share with us! It's Sunday and I was at at a client's home to clean-up tools & load them into my trailer... 4 hours, and that's typical at my job sites. I am looking forward to having some down time to consider what portions of SMART I'd be able to make the most use of & how I'll integrate them into the existing layout without ripping all of the existing racks & work bench out to do it! The ladder & roof racks may be the easiest next investment in my "BFT." It's and American Hauler, 12x7x6'-6" w/ deep V nose. arrived with a 3500# axle, broke that the first winter here in northern NJ. Performance Trailers installed a 5500# axle & it's been smooth since! I'ts a pleasure to support your efforts! Thanks Ron!

Beautiful work. Most logical setup I have ever seen.

Great job Ron! I've learned a lot about lean and working efficiently from you and your videos. Thanks for sharing how you get your materials to the job I've often wondered that.

Awseome video. Thanks for sharing with us

Ron, thank you for telling us about your thoughts on the use of resources. I tend to make resource decisions on emotion, not on economics. Great video too.

Looking for Bloxygen! Love the video. Great design, functional drawers and dividers, labels, labels, and more labels! Thank you Ron!

Amazing! Well done Ron.

Awesome Ron! Totally amazing. I appreciate all your videos.

Very inspirational cant wait to start on my new 6x12 tandem axle!

Excellent Overview! Always enjoy the videos...

Excellent job 👌

Carpentry and Photography- my two trades of choice as well! You’re my hero dude keep it up I’m learning a lot thanks!

You're impressive on your anticipation and organization skills !!!

Thanks Ron. Amazing!

you are amazing Ron!! I love this ..I will share mine once its done

Good Job, very good explanation, Thank you.

This video was incredibly helpful. I am considering doing some contracting work (rather than shop work), part time, and this answered a lot of questions that I would have otherwise not even asked. Thanks.

Thanks for showing the drawers!

Fantastic, inspiration to convert my wells cargo

Ron man. I like your channel & know you’re a really smart dude. Just came across your channel for the crown vids you explained. Awesome POV content. Keep it up, Ron. Thanks,

What a wonderful video mate. I am only a hobby woodworker, but it would be awesome to have a trailer like this and to own as many tool as you do. Hopefully someday I might. I'm going to start by building the Paulk Workbench II, its going to be much better to use than the foldup blowmould plastic tables that I have been using in the past. Thank you for all your hard work and willingness to share your designs. Cheers

Wish I could give more than one thumbs up, great job!

She's a beauty Ron. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome I just bought a 8x20 for my Sign Co and Definitely gonna use some of your ideas

Love your system. I don't own a trailer, but a small shed. Because of the limited space, i want to use your solutions to arrange my tools. Thank you!! JW

Great Job Ron. Thank You for showing us your experience and knowledge of wood working tips. I'm for one am a DIY'er, and I have learn some great tips and steps doing simple procedures building projects. You make awesome video's and it shows you take quality time for outstanding shots. Again, Thank You so much.... O', Have a Wonderful Merry Christmas with your family and friends and also Have a Prosperous New Year....

Great series, a lot of work and effort that is appreciated at this end. Will there be plans available for the smart.

Hey Ron. Please consider an anti sway bar. I just totaled my truck and trailer on black ice in eastern CO. High winds started the fish tail. Thank God we're all alive and healing. I never considered a sway bar for a small -ish trailer. But it may be a life saver. Love the videos. Love the way you think

Love it brother!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and ideas Ron. What if you extended the hole for the power cord and air hose up with a pvc pipe. No need to close the hole or bend over to put in the airhose and powercord.

Nice Trailer Great Job Beautiful Garage Thou 👍

Love the efficient organized layout. 2 second leaned, continue to fix what bugs you. :)

You're my hero!

Thanks Ron !!!! Amazing :) !!!!!

a router is the best saw I ever made for a carpenter." -Ron Paulk 20:42 Best line in a construction video ever. Hey Ron, I bought the plans for the smart trailer. I just bought a 14 ft enclosed used. Not a Mission trailer by far but it's my first and im gonna love it! Bought the materials list you have on the plans and have started with the bottom box today. Will see how far I can get tomorrow. Thanks for the helpful videos and info, Ron. Im in the middle of a lot of work and trying to get this trailer finished in the midst of a very busy season but it's gonna be worth it! I subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more from you!

Ron I love the videos...I am currently working on my second rolling toolbox design, both in the back of box trucks. I do have one question... do you put any sealer on the drawers or tops to stop them from getting so dirty? Would love to send you pictures of my first build.

I'm 5 years late to the party but.... fantastic! 👏👏👏👏

Nice tool trailer. Very equipped. 👍

I have my custom 8 x 14 rolling toolbox starting getting built this week in time for xmas break so i have time to fit all the shelves, i cannot wait.

Ron, great videos on SMART. I bought the plans and now getting a quote on the Mission from my local dealer. Is there a specification of your trailer that I can reference with the list of options?

Awesome!

Thanks for this video. The "Day xx" videos have been a but light on content. I'm sure others have enjoyed them, but I watched your updates when you were building SMART so it was too much of a re-do. This video is great. Very informative.

Hey Ron, I am curious about how you mounted your Milwaukee 12 volt chargers to the side of a cabinet you made. Have you found that they stay in place with just the mounting screw slot on the back of it? I wasn't sure if the bouncing that a trailer goes through would allow them to stay put> also, do the batteries ever fall out? My trailer I have is a 5x8 that I have made a modified SMART trailer out of, using aluminum shelving and weatherguard boxes. Being that the trailer is so small, I wanted to save the thickness of the plywood that I felt would take up too much space. It is amazing how many tools I have in there. Thanks for inspiring me to get myself organized!

This is amazing Ron! Can it be adapted to a 6x10 trailer? Also, is the a dedicated storage spot for sheet goods or do you keep those in the isle?

wow, that is a cool set up. I was thinking "I never knew Robert Redford was so good at woodwork"

what incremental drawer height are you using? meaning what is the height of the shortest drawer? looks like 2 or 3" ?

Looks awesome! Why did you decide not to use the tool boxes from Costco?

What brand are those rolling storage bins that you keep your paint and tile tools in? I need a couple of those for the same reasons

Great Job and love all that you do. Do you know about the M. Powers CRB7 Router Jig? I used it to cut the drawer dodos instead of making a jig… Also, one of you benches is in the January Fine Home Building Magazine I believe page 18 in a Home Depot add...

amazon shop link is dead ron! love your stuff!

Best part, the long drawer for pry bars and long tools. They can't fall if they are already laid down.

Good stuff son! 🤟

Did the trailer come with the black paint floor? I just bought a trailer and looking to use porch floor paint enamel I believe

Hi Paul, so I purchased your workbench plans about one year ago and I think i'm ready to buildout the trailer. I have a question: "What is your opinion in regard to the high summer heat in the trailer on how it affects the tools?" I'm in Southern Cali. and it gets Blazzzzing hot here…upwards of 105 fahrenheit (standing in the shade). My concern is that the inside of an All aluminum trailer will be like an oven and bake everything to a crisp. Thank you in advance for any insight.

Hello Ron. Great set of videos. I am in the process of getting a trailer. You mentioned in one of your videos that you purchased trailers from a company Georgia. I was wondering if you had any recommendations. Any comments or suggestions that would be great. I was considering a company call Trojan Cargo Trailers. Any experience?

In lumber, to do build out. How much weight do you think it totals. What is the weight cap of your trialer?

Hey Ron, thanks for the great video. Can you tell me about the front trailer wheel. Can you move your trailer by hand around the shop? Thanks.

We miss you Ron, where did you go?

You are big on dust control - your thoughts on air scrubbers in conjunction with the dust curtains?

One question: do those magnetic holders over the countertop hold the pliers/wrenches ok? I would wonder about them bouncing off while in transit.

Hey Ron! What are the exact external and internal dimensions of the trailer? Thank you!

Ron have you thought about putting in an electrical outlet on the side of the trailer?

The Moreland website is outdated with last news update 2015 with no obvious mention of retail sources. Lowes discontinued sales. Can you share your source to buy Moreland plywood?

Ron. You have the Atlas vest. How is it holding up? I am thinking about ordering their apron but cant try it in Holland. So i have to rely on your and others opinion. Thanks. Jw

Great job Ron. Thanks for the content. What do you do with all of your sustainers. Would you be interested in selling any ?

Hey Ron, Great video! Can you point me to the video you created that talks about your hose reels? I can’t find it

Awesome! But where do you keep the kapex

How much would you charge to do a smaller scale build like this in my van?

sooooooo..... getting ready to build my own. I have emailed RON and heard nothing back, I want to buy plans, but I'm afraid to purchase plans if theres no response to emails... also the moreland company is going out of business and Ultralight plywood has been discontinued so you cant even order it.... SO, any recommendations on where to go from here? I LOVE these plans and setup because I am TERRIBLE at organizing myself and would love to have a setup like this, only bigger to also carry supplies... Is there any other options for ultralight plywood?

Part of the weight difference between ART and Smart is the trailer frame. ART is an EZ Hauler and SMART is a Mission. EZ Hauler is Mission's less expensive brother. Both are made in the same factory and both are excellent quality. From a weight perspective the Mission has a full length frame and EZ Hauler has a front subframe. This would account for about 100 pounds of the weight difference. Other differences between EZ Hauler and Mission are mission has rubber torsion springs while EZ Hauler has steel leaf springs and Mission has a deeper V-nose. For anyone who is not near a Mission dealer the same company makes Cargo Pro and Stealth trailers. Cargo Pro and Mission are almost identical. EZ Hauler and Stealth are the same. The only differences are minor cosmetic trim.

Good video though it could improve with haning up some fabrics on the wall or eco preventing panels in on the ceiling and walls.

Ron, where can I find the bungee attachment you are using on your vacuum hoses?

#18:50 nice idea - THX

How much did the trailer cost to buy?

What kind of axles are those? 3500?

Aluminum frame trailers are very nice, expensive but resale is higher and you’re not dealing with a rusty trailer. And of course they are lighter

Great deep dive tour! I know that you can't do an actual build for every vehicle type, but I sure would like to get some feedback from you regarding how you would adapt this Smart Woodshop into a work van. There are so many videos for van racking, but I haven't come across one that says, "Paulk Inspired Work Van Setup". A video would be great - just some comments and sketches regarding the Smart Workshop features that you consider to be "Must Have". Maybe a quick sketchup tour with your ideas and thoughts for upfitting something like a high roof 159" Ford Transit Van. In the meantime, I will be paying close attention to the "build" videos of your Smart Workshop. Thanks!

LOL.. It's orange. Thanks for making a long video.. always my preference.

How tall are you, and what height is the trailer?
