Nice shop but pls take the time to replace that PVC air line. I used a product called Garage Pak I believe (sorry it’s been years ) and it’s all powder coated aluminum tube. They have a complete line of mounting blocks and hangers. Really easy to work with. When I had my big shop I ran it everywhere then after retirement I brought some home and did my garage shop. Simply works and looks awesome.
I loved that original video. That came at the right time. I am so psyched to see the changes...Super fantastic!!! You have a dream shop by far. That welding table is on another level. I absolutely love the screen pull down door. You have thought of the most important things.
Never use PVC for air line tubing. Never! It’s also never too late to fix a major, dangerous decision. The problem with PVC is several fold. One is that they don’t take sudden pressure changes well. Secondly is that PVC gets soft enough to bend, collapse or burst at below 140 degrees F. Additionally, it gets brittle close to freezing, say, 40 degrees.
@@Biokemist-o3k yes, and if his shop isn’t air conditioned, when it gets to the high 90s or higher, then it’s weakened as well. People come out with all sorts of excuses for doing something that shouldn’t be done.
@@Biokemist-o3k sometimes you get lucky for some time. Then you don’t. The problem with pvc is that it’s rated at constant pressure. That’s not the case with air lines.
I thoroughly enjoyed you video. I am sure that as safety conscious as you are that you protect both you and your shop, however I didn’t see where you put your 2A10BC Fire extinguishers. I live in the Republic of California and I am waiting for my county to approve my plans for my 18’ x 35’ x 12’ high “storage area.” I hope you don’t mind if I glean some of your ideas. My permit process has been going on since last June for 4 walls, 2 roof halves, a 10’ x 10’ roll up door and a man door on an existing concrete slab that was for a Park Model mobile home, period. Got to love this Republic…lol. I am inspired by your video. Respectfully submitted
Great tools, good video. For my use I keep my welding table free so I can work from all sides easily, the tool rack would get in my way. Also I would add an extension cord, drop light and air hose on reels hanging down along side your lift. I'm also in a wheelchair so I've arranged my shop to suit myself. I'm in Georgia, I'd kill for that A/C unit lol. If you ever decide to get rid of the lathe/mill combo or that giant "drill press" let me know I'm looking to get a few more things.
@RedlineStands Sorry for delay responding long day getting some tests. Let me look and see what's a fair price I don't want to insult you. I'm free tomorrow, I'll get back to you then. Thanks for the offer
I lined my shop the same way. I didn't line the ceiling, or gables. The walls are done up to the eve. I also used foam insulation. There is no echo. You can talk and hear normally. Any I've seen on RU-vid, or been inside personally that are fully lined, even with the peferated steel drive me nuts!
I am in the process of planning/building a 30'x42' shop and am intrigued by the motorcycle lift you installed in the floor. It should be relatively easy to do since I will be pouring a new slab. I'm interested in what model you used and why. Also any learnings you have from the process. Many thanks, Baxter Birch, Greenwell Springs, LA.
Check out this video below. I used the 2200HD. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vC14eaqBg-w.html www.redlinestands.com/catalog/lifts-c-290/motorcycle-atv-lifts-c-290_110/lifting-tables-c-290_110_111/redline-2200hd-utvatv-lift-table-p-2267
You didn't mention why no PVC air line next time? I know some folks switch to black pipe for the ends so they can better secure the lines. I have a large amount of CPVC fitting that I won't be using on houses, so I figured I could make them into airline runs. Have a great weekend everyone!
tHanks @@charlesjohnsjr.5809 . I've seen it done numerous times but haven't used it myself. I use black pipe and copper however copper is still subject to being stolen in some of my storage locations. I know sprinkler systems in residential housing are made with polyvinyl so I'm going with plain old CPVC next.
Don’t use any PVC product for air lines. In fact, while CPVC is better at high temperatures, it’s also more brittle and more likely to burst during pressure changes.
No sir. I bought it from a manufacturer of welding tables overseas. I'll use it over the course of the next year, and if I determine that the quality is good, we'll likely order some to be a part of the RedlineStands.com product line for 2025.
Unforgiving fabrication machinery, highly toxic flammable chemicals and an unlimited cold beer dispenser! What possibly could go wrong? BTW great shop!
I would purposely obscure the location i I had a nice shop like that.. This country is changing VERY fast. It might not have gotten to you yet, but its coming soon!
Get rid of those pvc air lines at all costs. They won't help you get rid of moisture in the lines, and they are very dangerous as they could break apart. I'd use black pipe. I've had black pipe in my garage/shop for 20 years with zero issues.

Oh, and we do carry this similar table already www.redlinestands.com/catalog/shop-equipment-c-327/general-shop-equipment-c-327_335/metal-working-c-327_335_288/siegmund-professional-series-extreme-87-welding-table-p-3174
Unlimited? Idk about "unlimited." I don't feel like anything in my shop is unrealistic. My most expensive item is in the $4k range at the time of purchase.
Jealous a bit of your shop.Lot of stuff but not really organized that well.Tubing laying on the floor ,not a fab shop plus in my book.And wiring rack nice but on top of the great welding table you have?That floor stand over the service door inside,hmm.But yes, jealous of all the bells an whistles.
Really nice shop with some great tools and all looks well organised. Just one safety concern might be that bin of rags so close to hot working area with welding and grinders
