Shop Refresh and Hacked Tools 

With the high ceiling in your shop you can always build a loft where you can use the space twice

I love your videos. For the 90% of us that can’t afford hundreds of thousands of dollars of projects and materials your content is very relatable. Please keep up the amazing videos and thank you for sharing.

I keep telling myself there are definite advantages to having a well organized shop - but at 87, most of my shop/garage projects are history - I wish I could just could have come to your shop prior to its reorganization, and sit there in an ancient worn out overstuffed chair and drink a beer with you while entertaining you with "sea stories" about doing the valve job on my '47 Buick, or rebuilding the flathead 8 in my '50 Merc, etc. when I was stationed a MCAS Cherry Point, and MCB Quantico in the late '50s, Your videos are the most enjoyable of any I watch, and I wholeheartedly agree with you - If you're not having fun, you're doing it wrong.

You are the only person I know that can make a video about cleaning up a shop and it be entertaining! I appreciate the time you put into making these for us. Please keep the videos coming don’t let the naysayers bother you, all of your subscribers love what you do.

youve become my favorite on youtube. Surpassing vice grip garage because you do some awesome projects. Can't wait to see what you got coming next. I am surprised you don't have more subscribers. That number should grow pretty quickly.

Great job! Best part about a clean shop is the motivation it gives you to start a new project. ❤

You just motivated me to clean up my shop as well! Love the content!

Those boot zippers are pretty common in the fire and ems service. Companies make lace in zippers as you get more lazy with more boots

i love the way your always thinking out of the box, well done!

The only thing I don't like about your videos is that they're not long enough. Otherwise they're great 👍

Great shop. I see a lot of unused space all around by the ceiling. A bunch of shelving way up high would double your storage and maximize your space. Keep up the great videos.

Low buck first. I've lived in a small town in New Hampshire for about 10 years. It's mind boggling what I can get free from the dump, Craigslist or side of the road. Most of my shop equipment was free from clean out jobs or next to the road.

Ah, yes, the swamp cooler. Used to live in Arizona, know about them. I run a shoe-box size swampy in my studio apartment in San Diego. Runs and performs great! Instead of water, I use ice cubes.

I have the same exact shelf as in 24:20 I painted mine and I use the shelf in between the 2 cabinets to put my battery chargers for all of my cordless batteries. I put all of my batteries on a shelf underneath it.

Thanks I'm on the right track! Rearranging my shop, Make it Fun again!

Love the content! Thanks for sharing!

"and hopefully some insulation", while lights shining through cracks in his garage, SMH, this guy cracks me up, you've improved your workspace considerably, I hope ya give us a walk around tour once ya get it done, thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the content, always fun to watch. I can really relate to 14:11 "as I get older the ground keeps geting further away"

Your tremendous effort at organizing, made me look at my shop, and I got so depressed, I went and laid down. I have to work the vertical, where I have big, heavy machines, stacked on other big, heavy machines. I have the material to build a 50 x 40 steel building, and hope to get it done this year.

Dang-it James, now I have to get out into my little shop and clean it up!! I like your bead breaker, the one I bought from Bestool was about $145.00 shipping included.

Low Buck Garage ROCKS

Nice workshop with plenty of cracking ideas showing Boss level ingenuity I've come to expect from you🙌🏻

Just having space to do whatever is all my old man wished for, never had opportunity after I returned from Home after my service to my country, he unfortunately passed away few years back. but while I was home the 7+ years I had the great pleasure of enjoying the days of annoying him, asking him menial help on task I could have easily done myself. I would give anything to have him back to enjoy those days again. Love the Shop and the makeover.

Sir you and I are kindred spirits. I'm always picking up someone's else's junk, and i'm always complaining about a messy shed. Wish i had as much space as you to work in ! If you ever find yourself in Kentucky give us a shout 🤝

I bought a Submersible deep well pump by VEVOR for less than 1/3 of what Lowe's charged. Been really happy with it so far.

Living in Southern California I have experience with swamp coolers. They're nice, but if it's a humid day it's not going to cool anything off. Humidity in the air changes everything. The air coming out of it ends up being the same temperature as the humid air in the room.

I had a slide vice like that on my old work table. Loved it

As you get older , the ground gets farther away - LOL , I hear you .........

Just simply a flat out enjoyable video that I really relate to! Keep up the great work!

Always good to see you doing things like I often do. On a bigger scale than me sometimes. Or not. That garage is pretty grand . My trouble is separating workshop from storage. Two separate pirposes that can streamline success when it's in order. Another good one on the right budget.👍

It was always a good time working in a shop , looks like you're missing the shop tunes ? Anywho , repurposing tools to make what you need is always a good thing . Keep up the awesome work

@LowBuckGarage a Few years ago i used 2" 4'X8" Styrofoam board on my garage door then sealed the seams with aluminized tape maybe with some construction adhesive you could get the foam board to stick to the metal without drilling holes the best options would to have the entire shop sprayed with closed cell spray foam 4"-6" thick

A lot of my equipment is also on wheels. I call cleaning up and organizing "reconfiguring the shop". Seems to help.

I love these types of videos. I took over my storage space four years ago and have been cleaning and setting thing up since. Just this morning I posted a video where I got to actually cut plywood in the space. I could watch cleaning videos every day. tHanks for the video

I literally laughed out loud with the fork extension weight demonstration. Thanks for cleaning the shop, it bothered my OCD😂

If you want to improve lighting in your shop, paint the floor white. It helps quite a bit. You can also paint the un-insulated portion of the walls white. Some places that recycle building products have 8 ft fluorescent lights from government buildings, these are usually great for shops. If the place also sells extra ballasts for those lights, buy some because when the ballasts get old they self destruct.

Happy Holidays great way to start the New Year a little shop organization !

This is proof there is a parallel universe…. I’m watching a younger me trying to clean my shop but inevitably distracted by anything shiny or a buddy with beer … Get ahold of me if you want to know how it ends ..😂

Great video. This seems to be the time for reorganization since the country takes a bit of a break these last two weeks.

I SO need to do the same thing with my space! Maybe you will inspire me! 😃

Yeah, nice shop, I'm trying to fit all my junk in 300sqft (30m2), including car pit, lathe, drill press, bench, mig welder, press, big parts washer,engine hoist and three tool cabinets... I need more space XD as you said, it's not fun to work there so I'll need to extend building :)

I’ve found some good and bad deals on Vevor stuff. I snagged a 12 ton bearing puller/remover that was awesome from them.

I go through this ''Process'' every few years for 43 now! You find solutions and ''space'' that makes you ask ''How come I didn't do this BEFORE!? OCD is a cruel Mistress!

Congrats LBG on getting ur shop almost the way u would want-it. The best part is u don't have anybody u can't do-it this way..

Man has to take a moment once in awhile and take inventory and organize . Wishing you a your family a blessed CHRIST mas!🙏🙏👍👍🇺🇲👍🙏

Are you sure that cable is not 2 pull for 1 carburetor?

Great minds think alike. You use some ideas like I have, but nearing eighty years old I have also forgotten about some.

Low Buck Garage = Hi Value Message. Breakin the fake without even tryin.

Yeah you have a harbor freight in your area I recognize the tubing roller did you have to redesign it when you bought it because they're not that great but the next one that's cheapest would be many hundreds of dollars more so everyone I know about it automatically out of the box reinforces it modifies it so it'll work better I wonder if you did those modifications to make it work better have an excellent day I do love you videos you realize that most people do not have Elon musk money so that's why you do things on a budget

Looking good. Maybe a Arvin Master cool?

Fast becoming the best channel on my list .the heaps of junk with endless possibilities make me feel normal.keep em coming ! Best from England

The highlight of my day watching these vids Sadly I can not find nor afford such cool vehicles & gear

Great job there! Nothing wrong with a shop chore day.. it's there fresh ideas emerge. Digging the new improved layout and staging areas my man. Blessings and respect!

Loved all you do ,Feel bad for you when diarrhea or number two happens 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣👏👏👏👏👋👋👋👋👋👋👏👏👏👋

I would love to see you and Steven Wright do a comedy hour! You have the best variety of projects and a way of making things understandable.

That rpm tool is exactly how a governor works.

A sink and bathroom are always nice in a shop Make a second floor and insulate and dry wall and put sink and toilet up stairs run pipe down to drains

Loved this video! Your video's are awesome 👍👍

I like the way it illustrated on what weight you can carry on your Fork extensions for your forklift

Lowbuck you got some cool tools , and you know how to use them, but most important you know where they are.

Nice work I love this channel!

There goes the neighborhood....jay Leno will be calling next....😳

Glad to see you're sprucing up that shop of yours James! 😁👍 I really need to do the same thing with mine sooner than later. That 4 post movable lift is nice!! Sorry I missed this one, been busy at work with the cold weather. Take care and happy wrenching 🔧🔩

I have always hated how big shops are basically echo chambers. As if power tools weren't loud enough on their own.

One of the best channels I watch. Has always Liked and shared. A very Merry Christmas to you and yours And the rest of your viewers also.

"thats a nice wall" *breaks it*

It’s fun to have fun but you have to know how!

Thanks for all the tips, love the deals, your shop is going to look great when its's done enjoyed the video, thanks

I wish I had a shop, my tools are scattered between my utility room and tool boxes on 4 trucks. It takes me longer to find the tools I need than the project I’m doing most of the time

Also had problem with a Vivor product. Bad weld on a transfer tank. Lost 25 gallons of diesel. Other than not holding fuel...the product was great.

Your hysterical. I love it. I laughed way too hard at the toy jeep on the forks. Thanks so much.

My brain hurts watching that lift pick itself up off of the ground. It's like bending over, grabbing your shoe laces and picking yourself up off of the ground.

Although vevor items leave alot to be desired sometimes, I've worked with other types of fork extensions and I've never seen them not bend. Nothing works like actual long forks

23:08 "No one will notice"......as in the zipper shoe people who were mentioned earlier and could be less than amused if informed about your creative uses for the cutlery?

Harbor freight tools sells those $10 spray guns that spray paint really nice. It’s Harley not worth rebuilding those old pieces of crap. I have one spraygun I bought 35 years ago, that are used for very nice paint jobs. But those $10 units would probably be good enough for what you do.

I like how you didn't overload the fork extensions...with the second yellow jeep..😎👍😎

Appreciate you letting me into your garage, and showing me around. Real cool format, style of vids. Thanks and peace my brother. Mind if I stop by again?

Thats a Lincoln 350mp , Which stands for Multi Process. It also has the push pull gun, with a water cooler . The push pull gun and cooler alone are a cool 5 to 6 grand . The welder does Mig steel , stainless , and alum with ease , It has a pulse function. Its also a stick and DC tig capable. I have two units , they are excellent production mid duty welders

Another great video keep them up. Where abouts are you in the US? Also if you get time check out any and all of Colin Furze. Peace and love from the UK ✌🏻🇬🇧

those fork extensions will always bend. they are really only supposed to be 24" longer than the fork and for light stuff (well under 1000 pounds). you would really have to go with a longer fork if you want to move vehicles like that.

SNOW now in Maine so, I am welding rust patches out doors .It looks like you found the wheel off my 1975 opel ,sporty !

Careful when you are welding with your back to the new shiny wall. It'll reflect UV rays and can give you a "sun" burn. And even reflect into the inside of your helmet.

you can buy for less than 5 bucks an insulation knife that is about 8-9 in. long and serrated. They work great.

Really enjoying your channel and content lately. Very relatable and down to earth. Thanks for putting these videos together!

3.7k likes and no registered dislikes??? Now that's impressive

“You don’t have to go fast or have the coolest car to have fun!” You need to start a podcast!

Have you tried putting a rag on the rim when using the screw bead breaker? Might help to prevent damage if you need to use it and not scratch it just a thought love watching buddy thanks for sharing

Great Stuff!!!!

When i mount wall stuff i temporarily mount a 2x4 to the wall. then you just set the item on top of that, and it holds it up while you screw it on

Thanks for the tour, you can make what ever you want… I am a bit jealous.👍😂

what are you doing with "sentimental" tools that belonged to dad and grandpa'? I mean, we've come a long way since and half of them aren't useful and some take a lot of space.

There are a lot of crap Vlogs out there but just discovered you and I'm going to stick around!

I would put a car radio in Those black cupboards. I bet you could wire up a free shop radio in no time

You really need to finish insulating your building because you are talking and I can still give the cars ride by I am not a Debbie downer but you tried to and slate pull money out and pull a little money out of your pocket and do it correctly

I just love your channel. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

You can end your sound problems by sticking a wireless Rode mic to your shirt.

Those long zip ties are typically for HVAC soft duct.

I totally understand wanting the space the bathroom takes up but what if you have to 💩?

I’m still trying to get my shop organized so I have space to work
