What I did Keith was to vent my post cyclone air directly outside. The Super Dust Deputy cyclone captures all most all the dust and what little makes it outside is not even noticable. Since my shop is not heated nor air conditioned, it is not an issue. Yes I had to cut a hole in the wall. I used a dryer vent assembly with a flapper to breach the wall. It has been working very well now for several years. Like you, I also have a ceiling mounted air filtration unit. I have some pics I can send you if you are interested. Congratulations on Baby Brown. We wish you all the very best!
What i like most this guys channel where he does show his mistakes in his projects and passing on how to do things differently. I’m currently about start a shed and I’ve watched his videos the most on how he build his shed. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Enjoyed that video. Im the same as you regarding tools kept with accessories. Youve really done a great job with setting up your new workshop. Im not jelous much. I would be like a kid in a candy store if i went inside there. Thanks for sharing
I just want to say how much better your on camera delivery is these days. I've been watching your videos from the very start and have watched you grow as both a woodworker and a presenter over the years. You seem so much more natural on camera which makes your content a pleasure to watch. Your projects are inspiring and encourage me to get into my own makeshift workshop to get creating. Great work mate, long may it continue!
Keith, I had stopped watching 'workshop tour' videos, because after sitting through a gillion of them I found them to be strangely similar. I watched your tour, because I had gone through all of my subscriber's videos and I still had time on my hands. I have a big confession. I loved this tour. You did an outstanding job on the organization and I love seeing all the 'cool junk' that you save. I save all of the same things and my friends tell my that I'm crazy. Thanks for an enjoyable video. I should have known that I would like this one. After all, I have liked every video that you've made. Thanks again.
I can tell that you were in such a small space previously. Outstanding layout and organization for only a year in the space... actually for 20 years in the space. Great video
Drop of sbr will sort your adhesion problem over the old pit mate. Your face and that fan...cracked me n the missus right up! Cracking settup you have there now mate. Well jell
Great workshop design, I've seen lots of it as you've added to it over time, good to see everything all together. Very envious as I live in a retirement flat, no shed, no garden. I've set a small area in the corner of my lounge (very understanding & supportive wife ... As long as I tidy up when finished)
Keith this is definitely the most detailed explanation of any workshop tour I've ever seen on RU-vid!!!. Looking forward to seeing what you are making next time 💯% 👍
Looks amazing! I really like the way you have it organized, easy to find what you need, but not to a point where the shop is more for show.. It looks cohesive and neat, yet like someone actually works there =) Awesome shop!
I can't remember how many years I've been watching your channel Keith but somewhere along the road I must have missed where you bought an entire warehouse of Milwaukee tools. Great tour you remind me of myself somewhat.
Really appreciated the comments about MFT table. I’ve seriously considered buying the festool version...But I was worried that there was too much involved in set up. (Sometimes I don’t get out my tracksaw because it’s just easier to grab my circular saw and a straight rule!) thanks for the information. Really nice workshop!
You have come a long way Keith. I'm glad I have been able to follow you through the process. I always thought the MFT table was just a place for screws and little bits to fall through. I'm of the same mind as you. If it's too hard to set up I will probably not use it. Keep up the good work.
That is a really nice layout Keith. I've only got a little brick shed so I don't use it that much. I'm mostly outside through the summer working on things of a carpentry basis. Great video mate
Seriously? If you're in a woodworking shop and get hurt so bad you can't walk 5 meters into the house to address it a first aid kit isn't going to do anyone any good anyway. That's hospital time
Because the concrete in the pit will still be green and damp that’s why the adhesive has delaminated, try leaving it uncovered when you can or cadging a dehumidifier. 👍🏻
Great workshop and a long way from resting on the edge of your old patio slabs when the neighbours weren't in their garden. Shame about the abandoned video of the drill holder - having followed you since the early days, I would prefer watching videos you might be unhappy with to 'slick high production value ones' because YOU did them. Always enjoyable.
Great workshop tour Keith it's nicely laid out. The white walls work really well for brightness and the rubber matting on the floor is brilliant as it comfortable and it saves your chisels etc; if/when you drop them. Tony
Very nice work shop mr l would be very happy to work in your workshop a lot of good ideas which I would like to use myself l am in the process trying to get my workshop done 🤔🤣 as you have said your house comes first and down to money l am wanting to do the same to my workshop one day 🤔 but as I work in a big workshop with all of the machinery I am lucky I can make things there l have subscribed too your channel and will follow you l like the way you tell us you too Watch other RU-vid chaps which I watch too and other’s l didn’t know great video can’t wait for more l am looking forward for part 2 of the gates stay safe 👍👏👏
Nothing to do with this vid - but I've just received my order of the Oil-Wax Wood Finish (Food safe) and it's just lovely. Applies beautifully and lifted the colour of the mahogany so it glows. I'm so pleased with it. Up until now I've used Tung oil but this is in a different class. Also its beautifully packaged and I can't wait to use the tin for something but, given how little of this you need, I expect it'll outlive me!!!
Keith, I’m so thankful for what you said about the MFT tops. I don’t have them and every video I see with them or about them makes me rethink about how I work and question whether I should change one of my tops to an MFT. I have always ended up on the I don’t think so side of that question and I appreciate your opinion based on your experience. No more noodling on this question for me...to each his own. Thanks
Love your big effort, about giving details of each step in every proyect. Helps a lot. Boy you are really really funny, the microphone... Your faces. Yes, you are something.
No, +1 on the MFT. Some jobs, yes. Smaller jobs, no - more trouble setting up than it's worth. 2. Did I see some Cen-Tec adaptors in one of your drawers? Have you done a review please? 3. What is your 12"? speed square please? I've had two cheap ones - neither of which was square? What (if anything) do you do about rust over time please?
Well done - Workshop is starting to really shape up now, lots of inspiration for me. Wish you’d move that drain pipe from the floor though - you must be tripping over it all the time 😬
This has been a very comprehensive - and very useful - workshop tour. I will probably watch it a couple of times to get ideas for improving mine. I've gone down the route of having everything either in drawers or behind cabinet/cupboard doors in order to stop dust build-up which I think is important in my 12'x9' workshop (much smaller than yours :) An idea for a future video, it would be interesting to see a video of how your business has progressed over the past year or two e.g. do you do commissions, produce runs of certain items of stock, sell at markets, do you advertise, how important is social media etc
Keith that was a great video, and boy you now have a great workshop, even without the Milwaukie gear you have some great equipment in your shop. Your wood storage solutions are brill. You need to tap up a manufacturer for a Drum Sander, i just purchased a Laguna 16/32 and it is brilliant (but expensive) and it you fit wheels it has a small footprint .. Cheers Paul
Nice shop, Keith. Similar to mine in kit and floor area. Can you give a link for the magic remote unit for controlling the dust system? I hate having to go from work station to the extractor before and after every process. I'm in North Walsham, may bump into you some time. All the best, mate.
Hows Dylan? Scary that the fast roads so close! Not very feline friendly. Looking forward to some “build” videos. There’s probably plenty for paetreons but that ok Absolutely agree with you about mft stuff. Love you’re stuff. Give the cat a clap for me.
This is great! You already inspired how I've done my miter station plus a few other odds and ends, but I picked up a few more organizing tips with this video. Keep you the good work!
I just found this channel by video from 2018 about Makita collection. So I jumped to newer video to check how Makita is going, but everything is in red now. Okay then :D
1. Get yourself length of a round dowel and plug up unused holes in your work bench. Cheap and reversible solution. 2. Did you actually measure those 8mm wrenches? On film they look different size... still it would drive me crazy for having it mislabeled or if I had to get one that looks different.
Hi I was just wondering where you got the pony Jorgensen cabinet masters they seem to be hard to find in the uk thanks in advance keep up the good work
i dont know if you have any farms near you but....rubber stall mats for live stock is very good and durable maybe if you can chk out old farms or swap sell placs online you might find some pretty cheap..also dr sholls inserts for your shoes is a big help too.i work on cement all day and i KNOW what you mean !!!
Fresh concrete/screed/latex needs an inordinate amount of time to release moisture to get adhesives to stick. A decent liquid DPM will solve this before your re-glue.
It's my wedding anniversary today, so I have a hunch I would be advised to watch this another time. I like the idea of live with questions though, hope it goes well.
Great shop!! Now that I can see it finished, it is bigger than I thought. Love the color scheme. Boy, compared to the old shed-shop you've gone from a Crystal to Diamond!!! Did you splurge on all of the Milwaukee Tools or did you get a sponsor? I have so much of the same random bits that you have for "just-in-case". I like to repurpose/reuse perfectly good parts, like casters, especially metal parts that I have been using in home-made jigs. That is a beautiful door and hate seeing it used for stickers. How about the center pole? Wishing you all the very best in your big roomy shop! WOW! I just saw how many Patreon sponsors you have. That is great!
Great video, I don't want to say anything stupid, but by the looks the wood you couldn't identify, it seems to me is cedar. Nevertheless great video and great chanel, thanks for doing this kind of videos.
Not surprising how many opinions about setting up a shop we share. One insight we differ about is setting up lumber storage. After 40 years and innumerable iteration of storage racks, I favor 2x4s with holes drilled at a 5 to 7 degree angle to receive 12 or 16" pieces of EMT (metal electrical tubing). I really don't like stacking lumber much more than a foot deep because it's too hard to get to the bottom stuff and by boring tubing holes at 4 or 6" spacing the racks are plenty adjustable. Skeptical about the strength? Try bending even a single 1/2" x 16" tube.
Workshop tour videos belong to my favourites and this one is not an exception. It gives ideas and inspiration how to change and improve things. Thanks for sharing. Did you make a video about the "curtain-system" at 09:26 ? If so, I probably missed it. Could you put a link? If not, can you provide more information? It seems very handy to me and for sure it keeps away (saw)dust for 99%.
Hey Keith, first off, I hope you have a great Christmas and all the best for 2024. I know you have a pillar in the middle of your workshop, does this bother you order you think its an advantage? I am in the process of moving my workshop into my barn but I need to do a lot of work first to make this happen. I will however need a concrete pillar right in the middle of the space. This is really not something I am totally happy about just yet. It's got to be done. I have no choice, I am trying to see how it can be a positive rather than a problem for me. Thanks
It's definitely an advantage however I wish I placed it more centrally to the width of the space to enable better placement for the table saw maximising infeed and outfeed 👍 happy Christmas
@RagnBoneBrown thanks fella, my pillar has to be exactly in the middle to support the 7m concrete lintle that I have to make. Hopefully I can use it for electrics and dust extraction. All the best
if there is a farm supply business nearby go there they may have rubber matting for cows to lay on it,s about 30mm thick and shouldn't be too expensive. the green metal cupboards with either plasterboard or backerboard inside them would pass as fireproof for your paints and oils
Workshop looks fantastic, well thought through. I know how you like to salvage and recycle everything you can but are you constantly chucking out materials so you don’t get overrun? I have a tendency to keep lots of off cuts (just in case) and before you know it every surface in the workshop is covered in scraps of timber!!
Nice video Keith, you've really got some setup now. Hard work and commitment paid off. Twenty minutes and no Dylan, apart from the Bob mirror. Was he camera shy. Where did you get the reflective film for your windows from???
With a workshop that big, and a good table saw, I can understand you not using the MFT. Unless you were always using sheet goods there is little advantage.
Maybe I missed it but do you have first aid kit and fire extinguisher in your workshop? I've been thinking I should add them to mine as I fit it out. Just like dust extraction and air quality these things can get forgotten about.
Hi Keith, I’m looking for a lift table like the one you planer thicknesses is on, I can only find ones that pump up. Can you tell me where you got yours from or a brand please? Thank you.
Great idea regarding the metal vice! It makes a lot of sense to be able to put it away if you’re not using it all the time. I’ll be building my workbench soon and I was wondering, do you think it’ll be ok on normal casters with brakes or should I buy the retractable ones you have on your smaller workbench ?
Please post a link to the factory second Diamond plates. Went on E-bay and found a ton of them but rumor has it some the cheap ones wear out almost instantly. Thanks for the video, lots of good ideas.
@@RagnBoneBrown Darn; looks like the page is gone. I know this was some time ago, but do you have the name of the brand and/or search terms? Thanks for the cool video, regardless!
@@RagnBoneBrown Great we have a cordless VAX but it's not very powerful. Plus the power has dropped over time! Not ideal. It would also amuse me to go around the house looking like a ghostbuster!
