I'm glad to hear you're enjoying yours, too. I'm not what you'd call a neat freak, but I LOVE using mine to clean up in the shop. Something about sucking up sawdust and shavings is just satisfying. 😆

Thanks! I used 3" #10 deck screws for the frame and joists.

Thanks so much for the kind words! I have actually liked the lights I installed, as each "petal" of the light is adjustable up and down. I can move them easily with my broom handle if I need light focused in a certain spot, and I also have magnetic work lights that I can move from machine to machine to get even more detailed light exactly where I want them. I have the 4 led strips in my garage, and I agree, they provide an excellent amount of light. For the miter saw station, here's the video of the build if you're interested - th-cam.com/video/EaODIJe4E30/w-d-xo.html Thanks for following along!

@@MakeitGoode1 I’ll check that out. Thx man👍🏼

That's a great point, and I generally agree with the cost inefficiencies of paying just for storage. I built these shelves for the unit I rent to store my boat, which since I do not have a space to keep at my house, is more of a necessity than just a spot to store Christmas decorations and camping gear. Being able to store extra stuff is simply a bonus, and better use of the space. Funny enough, the annual cost for the boat storage is less than some of the smaller non-vehicle storage units I've seen.

That works if the stuff you store is replaceable.

@@TH-eb5ro Ever look in most people's storage units? Most of the time it's junk. There is a difference if it is sentimental I agree with you. Get a smaller unit for the sentimental stuff and sell the rest. Usually if you have sentimental stuff you keep it inside where you currently live.

@@TH-eb5ro We live in a hurricane-prone area. We have to make assumptions that anything we own is replaceable. 😆

@@robertjohnson3835 Yep, I've seen a lot of storage units where the tenant is storing useless stuff because they "may" use it one day. You have to be disciplined enough to go through your stuff on a regular basis and get rid of stuff you can't live without.

Awesome! Thanks, Karl!

Thank you!

WOW! Thanks so much for the support!

I'm glad this was helpful! Feel free to reach out with any questions. I've learned a lot with this build, and organizing the space, and it's still in a constant state of evolution. Thanks for following along!

When I reached out to the city, they stated, if I kept it under 200 sq ft, and did not place it on its own electric meter, permits are not required.

I couldn't find birch plywood in my area either, so ended up using the primed 3/4" plywood from Lowes. I wasn't needing something super attractive, and these 4x8 sheets were high enough quality for my purposes.

In this set up, the 1.875 in hose from the vacuum goes into the top the Dust Deputy, and I am using a 2.5" hose from the port there. I have since upgraded to a larger version of the Dust Deputy that has more capacity and it works even better - th-cam.com/video/LNRQKBxrT-s/w-d-xo.html

I can't be exactly sure without more information, but I'm going to guess you have a drill that is set to a certain torque spec that is not able to fully drive in the screws before stopping. If your drill has a dial around the collet with numbers, try increasing that number until you are able to fully drive in the screws. If that doesn't work, you may simply not have enough power in your drill. Feel free to post more information, and I'll see what I can recommend.

I haven't put together official plans to sell for the shop, but I do have files I could send to you. Reach out at goodelifeoutdoors@gmail.com and I'll put something together for you. Thanks!

That's a great idea, especially if you have limited space.

Thank you!

Thanks so much! The music is licensed through TH-cam for video creators, and I simply chose some bluesy tracks to accompany this build. I appreciate you following along!

Thanks so much!

I'm glad it helped! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you! I'm a bit behind, and should be posting some new videos soon. Stay tuned!

Thanks for watching! The outer, or the foundation, dimensions are 10x20, so the inner dimensions are about 8-10" less. I would have loved to go a bit wider, but that's the space I had to work with. It's been great so far!

Thanks for replying to my query. My shed will be like yours size wise roughly so your video has given me some ideas as to layout. Thanks.

@@patrickmaher9270 I wish you all the best on your build. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Thanks very much.

Thanks! I'm loving this thing! I'd definitely want to look into upgrading the power at some point - do you have the info handy for the replacement motor you went with? Fairly straightforward swap? I appreciate the advice!

@@MakeitGoode1 id love to be able to tell you which motor to go with, but unfortunately I have a 14" central machinery bandsaw that is really close in design, but I know the pulley ratios will be way off, so you will want to look at the spec of your current motor and find the RPM. The RPM is what you will want to base your search with, then ensure you have the same size/type shaft and that its still at your desired voltage and eye ball your mounts the best you can, you may get lucky with one that fits like I did or you may have to drill some different mounting holes. Good luck!!! I'm hoping to see a follow up video! ;) keep up the good work

@@michaelarbach Makes sense. Thanks!

That's a great question! Each saw has its purpose, and in many cases, the two could be interchanged for a particular task. Accuracy is not necessarily the deciding factor here - both can be very accurate. The track saw, especially in my circumstance with such a small workspace, is great for long cuts and breaking down large stock into small pieces. You can use it to make a straight cut on a not-straight piece without having to use a jig. After each cut, there is a bit of reset required, particularly if you are clamping the track to your piece. So you basically have to re-measure, and move every cut you make. The table saw is perfect for making repeatable cuts. You set the fence to your width and run material through, over and again. Setting the fence for a new width is quick and simple. Of course, you can also use it for cross cuts, tapering, rabbeting, and so on - things that would be more difficult (but not impossible) to do with a track saw. I love having both tools in my small shop, but I use my table saw FAR more often than the track saw. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching.

I can send you a cut list. Send me an email - goodelifeoutdoors@gmail.com

Thanks, sent

@@jerrymcdonald6445 I haven't received anything from you.

Thanks! It comes in handy for sure, especially with the storage drawers.

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the tips! I appreciate you following along!

Thanks for the kind words! I do get how each tool holder can take up space, but I still enjoy making them - figuring out how best to maximize for the function is fun for me. I appreciate you following along!

Agreed, once you have the saw set in place on a station like this, you shouldn't need the handles again. I do believe the adjustability of the fences is necessary. It needs to be able to be easily set up, and be able to be adjusted in case the saw goes bad, something happens to the station itself, or (though not likely), there is any movement/sizing in the wood of the station itself over time. I appreciate you following along, and I wish you all the best in building your cart and setting up your shop!

Excellent, I’m glad it helped! Reach out with any questions, and all the best for your new shop space.

Yes! Exactly what I did! I posted this from an existing video and I was able to show that in the full take. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thanks so much! Yes, that's exactly it - I called the city and confirmed my limits on structure size. As long as it's tied into the house power (which it is), no permit required. I chose the 10x20 size to fit in its space without having to remove trees, otherwise I would have considered making it wider.

Thanks!

Thanks! Yes, I have a first aid kit in the shop, and I should have shown that, as it is certainly an important item!

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement!

Thanks!

Thanks so much!

Heck yeah! I've got plans for what I've got from you - just have to put it into action! Stay tuned.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words.

Yeah, regardless of the measurement system, it definitely pays to double-check your work. Thanks!

👍

Thanks for the kind words! My goal with this shop is to keep things simple and upgradeable. Case in point, I've already updated this cart to accommodate a larger cyclone - th-cam.com/video/LNRQKBxrT-s/w-d-xo.html

I did not add any finish to them at all. The workshop is fully insulated and climate controlled, so I do not anticipate any issues. 2 years in now, and they still look great!

@@MakeitGoode1Nice, I’m in the process of boarding up my garage with plywood and have been unsure if I should finish them somehow or not. I’ve lined the back of the frame with DPM so hopefully should be fine

@@SamSelim Sounds good!

I get that line of thinking, however, I know I enjoyed the process of restoring it, and my grandfather would have appreciated the effort it took. The paint does not cover the pitting, the dings, and the hammer marks of the years, and I have been happily adding my own each time I use it. The story continues!

@@MakeitGoode1 Don't get me wrong, when you take a vise that old and somebody says it looks like it was just bought at a store you did a fabulous job on it without a doubt and I'm sure you're grandfather is proud of your restoration. Somebody stole my grandfather's vise during an auction after he passed. I was very upset and still am to this day and that was in 1980.

@@MakeitGoode1 I've got a Monarch 220 lions head and im missing the swivel base and wing nut. Know of anybody that may have one?

Thank you!

That's a good point. I haven't noticed any issues, but it's something to keep in mind, as I'm constantly looking for ways to improve. Thanks for the advice!

My thought exactly along with all the bends in both hoses connecting the system together. Not very efficient for such a small 5hp rigid vac

Thanks! It works really well for my small shop space!

Thanks! It's definitely come in handy already!
