Hi Bob! what an awesome shop!!! You said every man must have a workshop, well I am a woman and have a shop to. I LOVE how you have everything organized. I especially like the swing in and out bandsaw and the bins that have a sample of what is in the bin by afixing a one on the front. My Dad was always tinkering on something and I loved watching him. As I got older,10, he started showing me different things from welding to woodworking. I am very grateful that he did, because now I can fix or build just about anything. He was a welder/pipe fitter so he taught me to stick weld and now use that skill for making sculptures which I sell. I
All the other organising garage-ideas revolved mainly the hanging up, using a grid, overhead storage etc. But you showed me how to use much coveted home space with so much intelligence-loved your shelved door, your plastic bins with hot glued example, your smart use of most used items and integrated tools in your central work table. Great ideas, thanks for letting us pick your brain, Robert.
Bob, I have been interested in woodworking most of my life, but have never had the time. I have been working more and more on projects that require a little more then a hammer and nails. Recently, I removed my back porch and replaced it with a modern version. This led me to look into making a shop of my own. I have a single car garage that is really to small for a regular size car, built in 1918, so this video has been very helpful. You have given me several ideas on how to layout and create my own sanctuary. Thanks and be safe...
Hats off to you sir. My own workshop is almost as small and not nearly as efficient with space. I carry my grandfather's torch with loving to work with my hands and I can say you have done a great job. My grandfather's "shop" was no bigger than 4' wide by 10' long yet he made things out of that shop that impressed many. A part of him lives on with me and yes you can say every man alive has this side to him inside, somewhere. Long live our caves!
Bob, I really like your use of swivels and hinges to better utilize space. The vacuums and compressed air plumbing was also impressive. I just moved my studio (not fun) and I'm now in a transitional work space till the new studio is built. I'm gathering ideas and found your video helpful. Thank you!
Hi Robert, Since I was a little boy I used to enjoy going into the garage and fixing up my dads work bench and peg board. When I moved out I always had a small shop at all the places I made home. When I married and bought a house, I had both a garage and a basement! My basement was my sanctuary and how I loved it so. I have since re-married and now have a small garage shop but in the process of a small corner shop where I can really get back to my real creativity and repairs. I love to fix anything broken and to make old things look new. sometimes make new things look old!. In any case i wanted to share these thoughts with you and i do love how you incorporated the bench with the power tools an that was brilliant!!!! I subscribed to your channel and hope to see more soon!!
Love the way you have adapted your shop Bob. I really like the idea of having the Dremel unit attached to your drill press,- very simple yet very effective idea. Thanks for sharing these ideas.
I work almost exclusively on metal rather than wood so most of the wood working tool ideas don't apply to me but they certainly give me ideas. I love what you did with your saw hanging from the sealing. I'm definitely doing that with my grinder. Keeping all batteries charging together is a must for any shop that uses power tools.
Your workshop is genius Bob!, it seems you have thought of everything!. I love the way everything folds away or is integrated, brilliant. I've got a workshop out the back of my house and came across your video, I'll certainly be taking some of your storage ideas away with me. Great video!
One of the best laid out workshops I have ever saw. Well thought out. Plenty of great ideas. Thank you for posting your ideas made into reality. Surely will borrow some
Excellent use of space, very creative ideas for storage and usage of the variety of tools you have. Many thanks for showing your workshop to us! I love the main centre bench. It's like a collage of power tools!
Robert, thank you for taking the time to show and explaining the different areas of your work shop. You have given me many new ideas to how to organize my work shop/garage.
Very nice, great solutions for storing the band saw and chop saw, the compressed air system is great. Looked like a grandchild picture to top things off! Thanks for posting.
Hi, Bob I am so happy to see your work shop with smart ideas to save space and innumerable no of tools and supplies, Its my dream work shop, congratulate you. I am so much passionate about the field which I enjoy working every minute. My heart felt thanks for sharing your work shop in you tube. Bob just you became roll model.
My Father needs to see this,he will run out to his shop and redo it with most of your ideas. I love it, I keep staring at my shop and can't make sense of it, I am literally inspired, thank you sir!
I need to incorporate some of those ideas in my workshop. I'm not as much of a woodworker as you, but I reload ammo and gunsmith, and need to get better organized with my many tools. I also have a ton of auto mechanic tools that need better organization in a 24 X30 garage. Nice shop, I very much like it.
Well Bob. There are an awful lot of fairly mundane videos on TH-cam about workshops. How they were built, what has been made in them, how to turn a wooden bowl and so on. But I must say your video is one of the best. Yes, I did get some great ideas for space saving too. Say listen. If you don't have any kids would you like to adopt me and put me in your will for your worshop? Great video. Thanks Bob.
you have a Awesome work shop I had a 10x12 metal shed set up like this in Arizona But your shop is just great their is nothing that you can't build or fix with your set up I wish i was your grandson lol thank you for sharing your shop
That was a great very helpful video Bob I'm just in the process of creating my own workshop and I'll be watching you video again and using some of your great solutions. Thanks again Bob / Daniel, East Sussex, England
Wow, you are an amazing guy. I'm inspired and i'm working on my garage right now to make it more user friendly. I love your passion for shop and I'll bet you turn out some amazing projects. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hi Bob, John Eckert (testbenchtech) here. I just moved from Ventura Ca. to Vancouver Wa. Where I am going from a 400 square foot electronics lab and work area to about 110 square foot area and trying to fit in everything in will be very difficult. You have given me some great ideas on space saving and how to make every square foot of floor space and every square inch of wall space useable and accessible. Thanks so much for the video. John Eckert (testbenchtech)
Wow, your workshop is a work of art, truly a labor of love. It looks like you are ready for all eventualities, and comfortable at the same time in there.
Great shop! And nice video. My only concern is that you have everything energized - or was that just for the video? Even if I didn't have kids, I'd worry somebody might get hurt if I was giving them a tour and they decided it would be funny to try to turn something on... and it actually turns on. Like that circular saw in the middle of the room with the blade up a couple of inches. Otherwise, nice job!
Like the enclosed parts containers and the shelves you made for them. I have three of the bins & I have them standing on end on a shelf. Your way has inspired me to build shelving that will enable me to pull them out like dresser drawers. Thanks.
Everything about this workshop is amazing! Your ideas are truly valuable, thanks for sharing, and excellent production of the video by the way. My jaw dropped when I saw you open that cabinet with the faux gun mounted, had no idea that was a cabinet. Very impressed, thanks again.
Nice workshop. Put some thought into this I see. My grandfather had a small workshop, didn't have quite as many tools, but he could fix darn near anything and yes it was his sanctuary.... Grandma would run him out of the house, and he would go tinker. Miss him dearly
Bob, What a great workshop you have. I really like the idea of hot gluing items on the outside of bins, etc. so you know what you have. The charging station idea I've seen before and is superb. I want to make a lazy-susan turntable like you did for the grinder/buffing station.
Hi Bob, love the compressed air lines that are so handy, your storage solutions are brilliant and I reckon you have plenty of room to work on most things on your clever multi-use table. Thanks for sharing your ideas and I will definitely be thinking of them when I set up my new workshop. Cheers mate!
Very well put together video and very nice shop. I do metalwork in my shop, but you have given me many great ideas. I love how you organized your small hardware and glued an example on the front. I also like the vacuums everywhere. I have worked in my brothers messy, dirty, disorganized shop and it is very frustrating. I need to show him your video. Thanks!
Bob, I've gotten so many ideas I saved the video to review. Thanks for sharing, you've got to be the king of maximizing space and I mean that in a serious way.
Greatest screen saver ever!
Ha! "No muff to tuff, we dive till five" Love it!

And, on your computer, "No muff too tough, we dive till five." You're hilarious !!!

Definitely a working shop. Plenty of tools and hardware gets the job done without running to the hardware store. Great job.
Bob, I really like your use of swivels and hinges to better utilize space. The vacuums and compressed air plumbing was also impressive. I just moved my studio (not fun) and I'm now in a transitional work space till the new studio is built. I'm gathering ideas and found your video helpful. Thank you!
Nice little shop! The built in belt sander was a real surprise!
That is the coolest thing I have seen in quite a while. Thank you Bob for inviting me and sharing a look at your sanctuary 👍
That revolving bench grinder is such a great idea!
Real man cave with power and brain. You won 100% of my admiration. Thanks for sharing the tips and I have learned a lot.

Bob, you are a really lovely man. I found myself taking an instant liking to you, and everything you said. Made me smile. thanks.
Very nice!!! I love the way you utilized your actual bench and integrated your router, table saw, and belt sander into it. Genius
Bob, you´ve got really proud of your shop because is very nice! congratulations.

I need to incorporate some of those ideas in my workshop. I'm not as much of a woodworker as you, but I reload ammo and gunsmith, and need to get better organized with my many tools. I also have a ton of auto mechanic tools that need better organization in a 24 X30 garage.

Excellent setup and use of limited space...thank you for all the tips too Bob
Thank you very much for sharing your workshop with us. I got some ideas for organizing the space and the tools!
Great video bob. Learned many new tricks and great ideas. Appreciate your time showing around your workshop.
Bob, great workshop! I really like the multipurpose bench, fold away lathe, and rotary mount for the table top grinder/ polishing wheel.
Bob, great video you can really see you built things around function. Much thought has gone into your workshop, very nice.
Like the enclosed parts containers and the shelves you made for them. I have three of the bins & I have them standing on end on a shelf. Your way has inspired me to build shelving that will enable me to pull them out like dresser drawers. Thanks.
Absolutely fantastic man cave. Loads of ideas to use in my own garage/workshop. Well done Sir!
you sir are awesome! I'm about to build my first shop in our new home. I got alot of ideas from this.
thats a REAL man cave!
Everything about this workshop is amazing! Your ideas are truly valuable, thanks for sharing, and excellent production of the video by the way. My jaw dropped when I saw you open that cabinet with the faux gun mounted, had no idea that was a cabinet. Very impressed, thanks again.
Nice to see a workshop that ACTUALLY looks in use AND organized. Superb!
Absolutely awesome! What a wonderfully thought-out shop!

Thanks for sharing your ideas and I will definitely be thinking of them when I set up my new workshop. Cheers mate!
Bob, thanks for sharing. Got many good ideas from this.
Thanks Bob for the informative video, many great ideas, probably have to watch a few more times to absorb more.
Very well put together video and very nice shop. I do metalwork in my shop, but you have given me many great ideas. I love how you organized your small hardware and glued an example on the front. I also like the vacuums everywhere. I have worked in my brothers messy, dirty, disorganized shop and it is very frustrating. I need to show him your video. Thanks!
That was neat. The fold away saws are a fantastic idea. I think the favorite is the bandsaw. Great ideas throughout the video!
You definitely gave me a bunch of ideas for my garage very nice workshop!
Great Bob, I was wondering about the space but it's a good use of a small space. I like the way you store your power tools especially. Cheers.
Great video, inspired me to start building my own workshop. And it also gave me some ideas for organising the tools i already have. Thank you sir.
So good I love the fold away tools and the small bits and pieces easy access and sorted well done
Peter. S. Aust.
You are awesome! Love your work area and screen saver
Great looking shop! lots of good ideas.
Bob, I've gotten so many ideas I saved the video to review. Thanks for sharing, you've got to be the king of maximizing space and I mean that in a serious way.
I like the grinder set up.
Bob, you've done an amazing job getting everything you need into that space. Hoping mine turns out half as well.
Holy crap this guy's a mad scientist! The workshop ideas are genius!!
