The ultimte shop that is very well deserved from all the great helpful and funny videos you and your fine family and friends give the world, even us Podunk dwellers.
Taryl. You are right on the linkable lights. I replaced all of my 4 ft fluorescent lights with LED fixtures, they were all the same until they started crapping out. Now I have all of these mis matched lights. I did start to do what you did a couple years a go. I converted a few of the old 4 ft fluorescents to led. I am now going to do the rest of them.
I work with lighting for a living. Unfortunately, our customer, 1273 locations, NEVER ask our opinion about what to buy. The linkable lights are obsolete within 12 months. The manufactures have made their money and moved on to new designs. Replacement parts are either scarce as hen's teeth or just plain not attainable. EXCELLENT job Taryl.
Taryl your new improvments to your shop are fantastic. You always make great use of all the items that fans and friends give to you.

What year model is that Honda CT70 ? My parents bought me a brand new one in 1970. I was 11 years old. I loved that thing, I put over 3,000 miles on it in the woods, old field roads, wore it out and rebuilt myself. Went through countless sprockets, chains, wheel bearings and brake shoes. And several tires. Mine was blue. I wanted the red one, but the dealer only had the blue one and the gold one. After I got mine, seemed like every kid in the neighborhood had to have one. We lived out in the country, and riding places were unlimited back then. Brings back a lot of good childhood memories.
I just recently converted the 15 year old fluorescent bulbs in my shop lights to LED. Removed the ballasts and kept the fixtures. They work great. Much brighter and turn on instantly even in cold weather. Nice new space you have there Taryl!
@philliphall5198 it's fairly easy. Just need some 14 gauge wire, wire nuts and a pair of dykes. You can buy more expensive LED bulbs that keep the ballast but then you are going to use twice the amount of electricity to keep them on.
Taryl, you are amazing... I wish we could duplicate you and spread you around all over Earth.. the world would be a better place! Your thinking lines tie up with how I think... keep building and making and fixing.... I look forward to your videos... it is VERY relaxing to watch you fix things, plus you are an excellent teacher!
@@philliphall5198 Time to scale back man, it's time for yourself. I'm all for a hard day of work but I can't wait to retire too, I'm not working for anyone at that point and the word work will be illegal around these parts 😂
Yeah, I agree with making the led bulbs changeable. Would be nice if each side of your outlets were out 180 for 220v possibilities. I put an outlet in the breaker panel, split for 220v for my 110/220 HZXVOGEN 4in1 MIG Welder 250A 🤫
Hey Mr Taryl, enjoyed your video. I am a subscriber to your channel and watch all the time. You doing everything yourself is fantastic. You have the knowledge to do it, seems like you really can fix it all. There's Your Dinner!! Blessings to the Taryl Family!!
LED is the way to go with lighting today...better efficiency, light is good and cheaper in the long run...i switched all my bulbs to LED in the house and savings is seeable....that is a grown up version of a fort we dreamt about as kids...looks great Taryl
@@ericuncapher9922 Right, sadly, quality has been sacrificed in many units for cheapness. The LEDs themselves are often overdriven and heat management is poor to non-existent. Some older bulbs weigh a ton and are filled with aluminum heat sink. The light weight cheap ones tend to only last a couple of years at best. I've also purchased relatively expensive, very common GE branded LED bulbs sold at Lowe's/Walmart that only lasted a year or two, and they are quite heavy! Meanwhile, this one single bulb I got from a big online bulb store (I wanted 100W equivalent at a certain color temp, high CRI, but A19 size) has incredible hours on it over probably 6 years, and it's still going strong. Might've been "90+" brand, not certain.
Taryl, Yer a hoot ! Love your new shop. You don't even have to ask to receive, the universe just keeps on puttin it out there for ya. Goes to show you're liven right. Here's one for you I think you'll enjoy. I remember goin to one of my friends house with another friend in my big old pick-'em up truck with a bash-guard on the front, when a deer popped right out in front of us with no room to even take my foot of the gas. POW !!! Deader than a door nail ! Looked at my buddy an said "Hey, there's our dinner!" I thought you'd like that story.
Really Nice.. Service Shop . Taryl.. Thanks for video. And shop tour. Your neon display. Loft display. Adds a great touch. Visual. Lots of work. Conduit, Wiring, electrical outlet boxes. Lights. Very well thought out. looks Great. And good work. Nice selection of Equipment Taryl. Lifts. Repair/ assemble equipment.. Benches. Like that steel bench dude. envious. Made my own Shop Bench on wheels. W/ Vise. Lights. elect. My garage. Looking forward. Enjoy your videos and info sharing.Taryl..
Nice looking conduit runs. You do nice work sir. I worked at a supply house for 32 years, did some electrical work before that. 5000k! That’s your color temperature, the temperature of iron heated to 5000 degrees kelvin! Great color rendering index!(cri) Smart the way you brought power to both fixtures in each set at the same end together, if you know what I mean. (You know what I mean!)
I know it's a matter of taste / opinion, but I placed receptacles strategically in my garage / workshop ceiling. That way if a light acts up or needs to be relocated, I simply unplug it. The receptacles are hooked to your normal light switch. It's a game changer in my opinion.
Best shop around - well done and well earned. Luv the ingenious touches in the electrics, the clever use of magnets, the breezeway, loft, elevator, gate, neon, bikes/minibikes etc. … just outstanding. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing Taryl (& Crew too)!!
Nice job Taryl!! I am an elec-chicken too, but I use a wheelchair. No matter! I am re wiring our high bay garage that had a fire in 2021, using of mostly used (from salvage on demolition work we did as our business) materials, which is a mix of EMT, some rigid, some 2” rigid PVC, and some AC (“BX”) steel armored and also MC aluminum armored cable where it meets code, 100 amp sub feed off the house, used quad-plex ACSR cable on poles donated from our construction company next door, used the bare as neutral, as is usually done, 2 of the 3 insulated wires are the hots for 120/240 volts, and the third insulated (cable WAS for 3 phase) wire is re-coded green for the equipment ground. I resurrected 4 of 8 vintage 400 watt mercury vapor high bays that aside of replacing the popped oil filled capacitors, and cleaned and repainted, will go back up, plus 7 antique green RLM dome incandescent fixtures that get Walmart brand 300 watt equivalent 2700 K (same color as incandescent!) LED bulbs, all on separate switches, with one of the 7 RLM domes dead center on it’s own switch so if ya only need to grab a tool at night! I have LED and one mercury lights outside, all around and with other vintage porcelain enameled fixtures with 40-60 watt equivalent LED bulbs, in the shop and over the entrance ramp. Bay, all on a twist lock photo control that wasn’t damaged in the fire, so all dusk to dawn on these! The nite lites in the shop already come in handy! I even got the exit signs (mostly for looks) working!! And yes, I feel ya on taking a long time! Almost 2 years (on and off because of too cold in winter, too hot/muggy in summer, and being a chair user and improvising ways to gain access higher up was and us a challenge, being a paraplegic. Getting there, workmanship os Paramount to me, too! OH-on the LED retrofit of fluorescent, as a lighting guy and bulb collector bI 107% concur!! That was smart. I DO NOT like the nasty, harsh, headache-inducing 5000!K fluorescents or LED’s though! Also dislike 4100-4150 K cool white as well! I would prefer 3000 K warm white, same as high watt incandescent or halogen, or 3500K which id neutral, not warm or cool. OR 6500 K daylight if I HAVE to go witk cooler color temps. Those 5000 K LED 4 foot tubes are the least likely for me to use. These 8 foot strip fixtures with 4 foot lamps end to end are called TANEM strips, by the way. I have some I had in storage in the garage that burned in the garage fire, the housings had the paint burned off, need socket etc which I have plenty of, so I will sand the rust off, repaint and put in new electrical, may go LED, but I also still have lots of electronic T-8 Ballasts and bulbs, so can go either way. Too good to scrap! Cheers Taryl!! 👍🏻😋
Great job on the new shop electrical. Now you can also get 240v from those outlets that are on a seperate circuit if it's connected to L1 and L2. Balance the load! LEDs are the way to go for sure. I changed out all the CFL can lights to LEDS in the house and what a difference for the better.
Super nice shop I wish I had something like that I have a glorified shed as a garage. but what I did with my bench is I drilled a hole and put an old vacuum underneath tucked away and put the hose up through just enough so you can hook up another hose and have an brush attachment which I use a lot on dirty parts and mounted a switch on my bench so I can turn it on and don't have to bend over love your videos I've learned a lot thanks for all the info over the years and keep them coming😊
I love the shop addition along with the thought and quality of work done putting in the finishing touches. I did note something missing in the Frank Sinatra rendition of "My Way" but I'm not quite certain what it is.
Taryl, that is simply Majestic!! Everything is so well thought out....You will have to show us the movie theater and the cigar bar.........Love the workbench and the spiral staircase. I had one of those in my house that I lived in in Philadelphia when I was in School.....
Best think about using the conveyer section with the cutoff saw is that it can't be cluttered with other projects, which would need to be cleared if the saw is needed. Great shop Taryl!
Right on T. Nice shop setup. I did the same thing 10 years ago. Bought 60 hyperikon linear led tubes and back then they were $20/each! Turned in a focus on energy to my local power coop and got @ $300 back. I load tested these compared to high efficiency T8s and these pulled @ 40% less power and no cold weather low out lighting output, no flickering, and no deflector needed do to the 160* beam angle. Use cellulose insulation. Much better R value and noise suppression than fiberglass
Wow it looks so nice.I don’t think there is anything you can’t do Tarly!I love watching you ,you always take your time to explain everything.Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us.Ed from Michigan
The shop looks very good. Here in the pacific northwest if we don't use a vapor barrier on the roof when you put the metal roof on , it will rain inside when you add heat. I sure hope that doesn't happen to you. Love all the light.
Taryl,his family, his friends, his viewers, his subscribers, and online store customers are the folks responsible for making the addition possible. All these folks made it possible for YT to sell advertising and gather/sell viewer data to make a profit for YT shareholders. Now there's your lunch.
Those harbor Freight magnetic strips are great. I bought thirty of them at a very special price. I just screw them close to work areas and also inside tool cabinet drawers with wood strip spacers for a flush fit and they stay organized. Rivet a few under the lid of a mobile tool cabinet and at the end of the work session put them back home
Taryl Totally Awesome, you earned that building and you are making it your own way , your own style. Not only that your doing good for the planet. You recycle so many things I love your ingenuity, raw talent and ideas, saw you at the Threshermans in Pontiac a few weeks ago, hope you get some time to finish that beautiful addition. Nice work as always, Rich B Lockport Il.😎👍
Hey Taryl, FYI... Based on the NEC... The circuit breakers to those receptacles need to be physically tied together so that ALL power to the receptacles electrical box is OFF for SAFETY sake... (NEC) sections 210.4(B) and 210.7(B) address the simultaneous disconnection of ungrounded conductors in multiwire branch circuits: 210.4(B) Requires that all ungrounded conductors in a multiwire branch circuit be able to be disconnected simultaneously at the point where the branch circuit originates. This is usually done with a double-pole breaker, but two single-pole breakers with identified handle ties can also be used. 210.7(B) Requires that a means be provided to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors that supply devices or equipment. This should be located at the point where the branch circuit originates. The purpose of these rules is to prevent people from working on energized circuits. Unfortunately, this negates your original intent... :( A workaround could be to have two physically separate receptacle boxes... which essentially isolates both circuits from one another... and would meet NEC requirements...
Taryl i Love your Ingenuity and Organizational Skills your New Shop has A lot of Thought into it and Efficiency ! Your Work Ethic is What this Country was Built on ! Thank You for showing us
Most quality Tleds allow for either single or double end power feed. This way if you have newer fixtures you are retrofiiting, you don't have to worry about "shunted " sockets. Line and neutral can either go in one end or line in one end and neutral in the other.
Nice job Taryl!!! I'm very close to finishing my 24x54 garage. Conventional framing on a monalithic pour, heated floor and i used linkable lights. Its a 3 car with a 20x20 shop on one end and you are absolutely right. Its not that big once you fill it.
Taryl, as a person that retired after designing electrical for over 35 years, I must say that I agree with your design decisions on the LED tubes and using the luminaires as wireways. You did a great job! I do have some questions because as you said “Safety First”. Did you put all the receptacles on GFCI? The uncovered concrete causes them to be required. I would not have gotten the 5000K colored LEDs. That has lots of blue light which is proven harmful to your eyes. Remember Blue Blocker glasses? I didn’t see a mandoor, so I’m assuming your building meets the means of egress requirements. Most likely it does. Since this is commercial space, you didn’t mention “Emergency Lights” for the means of egress, and I did not see an EXIT sign. I’m not trying to be a safety troll! These may be things you were not aware of. An electrical designer and electrician are not the same. Different focus. Beautiful shop! Best wishes! Kevin
You can get guards for those lights that will keep you from bumping into them and busting the bulbs. I'm with ya on those stinking linkable LED lights. Aint no telling how many I've replaced and had to redo the total room because you can't get replacements. Only knock Ill give ya is on your EMT. Code says it needs to be strapped something like 16 inches on each end. I kinda doubt you had to get it inspected since you DIY it.
Thanks for the walk through. I still have to wire up my 30x40 barn. I like the tip for only ten outlets per circuit - I did not know that one. I plan to do the same - left and right circuits in each box. I plan to color code my outlets for easier identification. I plan on two light circuits, 1 for electronics (every dog house / man cave needs a Hi-Fi and TV), one for battery tenders, several 110v-20a and 220v-50a circuits for tools.
Love your building. I knew my 30 x 50 was going to be too small. I should send you some pics of my space. 10K lift in the middle of shop, less than 3K couple years ago. Redoing a Scag on it now.
I have a little electrical experience myself and was wondering if this applies to your situation ? "Fluorescent lighting fixtures may be used as raceways if they are listed for use as a raceway. Lighting fixtures are not traditionally designed to serve as raceways, which are enclosed conduits that encase and protect electrical wires" NEC 410.64(A), (B), or (C). Other than that ......nice job and happy for you
Awesome Taryl, your videos are amazing and extremely educational. You are sharing your in-depth knowledge and expertise for future generations. I picked up some great repair tips from your channel
Very impressive with Lights, especially the Neon ones. Aren't you going to miss not having any windows? And I certainly hope There is insulation in the walls and ceiling, Otherwise that metal shop of yours is going to be an heating energy pit! Have a lot of great efficiency ideas and it will be Interesting to see how it works out.
Taryl, great walkthrough. You get a lot of free stuff, that helps. Nicely done with all of the electrical work. We're not allowed to do that down here in the land of Oz.
You done alot of work. It looks great. That bench is awesome. The metal fireproof cabinet is great to store the solvents,the shelves on the doors are a bonus.👍 🇺🇸
@32:00 Maybe some additional relay circuit for the attic lights. They are still running during the working hours (when main lights are on) when you forgot them to turn off. Or a control light (red ?) visible from the shop.
Great job on all your videos you earned everything you tube pays ya. We retrofit grocery stores exactly how your doing it. Only thing is we add a fuse link to each row. Can add a sticker inside outlet covers or on side to indicate which circuit breaker goes to each outlet. Job well done Freind.
did you run a 12/3 ( or equivalent) with ground through the lights and down to the duplex outlets and then split the hotlegs , and use the bare ground as one of the neutrals, and then just ground the plugs to the metal post? And of course in breaker panel the hot legs split to two separate or one split breaker. And AND, ... you know you can put cages over those lights to protect them from " N.OP.E." related events. You might lose some brightness but it may not be noticeable. And there's your brunch, or a snack, or a snickers, if it takes too long and/or might be funny. P.S. since those are led have you thought about testing them on spark plug tester to see if they light up your life? Leds are DC but i think once the situation is rectified they can run on AC . Theres your seconds.
I bought some of those LED NEON rope, 2 sets at 22ft and used Z-Channel flashing to make a little shelf along the perimeter of the garage ceiling -- I used 90 degree led strip connectors w/ heat shrink in the corners, (because the rope lights don't bend well) and powered it with an IBM laptop 12v 5a brick, also have a jungle site dimmer. Anyway those led neon rope lights have been on constantly for 4 years with no issue whatsoever.
Very nice! I'm surprised that you don't have one of the old Hamm's Beer sign. You know the moving sign with the river, woods, canoe, campfire going etc. You have the right ambiance with the glowing neon signs etc...
Wow!!...That's a great looking shop Taryl...very ingenious, the way you did everything Especially those magnets holding all those signs on the walls...your a very gifted man my friend !!
Some jurisdictions do not allow using florescent fixtures as a raceway (a conduit) except for lighting circuits. I am about ready to go back to florescent lamps from LEDs. A lot of those LEDs just don't last and if they are in the warehouse I have to empty the shelves and then move the shelves. Running convenience outlet circuits in florescent fixtures is a no no where I live. I like to stagger multiple lighting circuits too so if a breaker trips, I am not fumbling around in the dark.
excellent layout and shop. I dont know if you have any interest, but Kasa makes some really nice app operated switches. I tied mine in parallel with standard switches so i can roll either way (manual or app) . Kasa has a very reliable ,easy to use, long distance control setup.I They work flawless with any 2.4 ghz Wireless Access point. I use mine in both arenas.(wireless AND manual).Any heavy current load on a circuit above 600 watts? Take a 6ACH8 relay and load up to 6-8 amps on a relay with 120 volt coil. They are mega cheap and reliable. (like $8 a relay) they are so reliable they may outlive your life !
Taryl, Im a big fan of yours and have learn a lot from your Tips-n-Tricks. Now I've some maybe some negative comments, so don't get to snarlly, I still love ya' man. If you was to walk into this shop and it was built by some else, I think you'd say to yourself man, what is this, his living Room with some work benchs and tool boxes? Yes, it's all very pretty and you definitely got what you wanted. But I can hear you say, "It's not my livin' Room, but It's a "For Profit" Mower Repair Shop, Similar to, "It Ain't the Space Shuttle, It's a Lawn Mower". There's few Items I didn't see and that's the Air lines for air tools and where will the compressor be located? The Sand/ bead blaster will be a air hog and the compressor will be runnin' most of the time when you're using the blaster and or filming the latest TFA's, so noise will be a issue. I don't know if you already have one, but a medium size metal cutting lathe would of use as well. Just some thoughts.
I think you need to relocate the traffic light to the office, and have a sign that indicates shop mood is: red- stop go no farther Yellow - enter at own risk Green -safe to proceed 😂😂😂 This might come in handy with everyone stopping in to drive you crazy! And I also like the fact that you ran 2 circuits to each electrical box, each being 20 amps, it will give you the ability to create 220v @20amps at any given location. However I wouldn’t have used the lamp housing as a raceway for receptacles, but that is just me, i don’t like mixing Lighting with power, in a conduit even though power is power. I also hope you have a few 30a-220v satellite receptacles for welding around the shop ( just because sometimes it is easier to bring the welder to the project than the project to the welder!
I was wondering how you bridged that span making up the floor span until you went in the attic and saw the internal load bearing structure of spaced trusses. I was wondering if that building was the steel framed buildings that are truss free. Great job Taryl
Congratulations!! U deserve it! Nicely done electrical work. VERY PROFESSIONAL! I was JUST thinking what repair work on gasoline engines are going to survive. I realize alot still out there, but is it a dying breed? I wish u nothing but the best! ✊️👍🖖🇺🇸
LOOKING AWESOME! Surprised TARYL installed elec outlets w/ ground down. Typically ⚡️ run (commercial-industrial) 125V 20A ground “UP” for shop safety. At any rate, it looks great!
Great job. Looks very sharp. Not to nitpick, but, another thing I would go around & do is take your labelmaker to those outlet boxes... Panel 2, breaker 12. Panel 2, breaker 14, so on & so forth. Then a year or 2 later, you don't have to wonder... And obviously, for that panel, put a big label on it, panel 2.... Just a thought. Another thing I've done is put motion detectors in a few places.... I went out to my outdoor shop, walk in, lights are all on... I kinda said okay, that's it... Put the motion detector. 5 minutes, it turns off. No more lights left on. Plus, it's super convenient, I didn't realize this until later, but you walk in, and the lights turn on, which is actually very nice.... You're carrying something? Don't worry about it, lights turn on by themselves. Walking into a big dark shop? Don't worry about it, lights come on right away, you're not gonna fall & crack your head open..... Actually real nice to have....
Hope your outlet circuits are separate from the lighting circuits or you could be fumbling around in the dark back to the load center to reset the tripped breaker and I hope you installed gfci breakers for your outlet circuits, with all your interior finished with metal and having a concrete floor, y’all are to special to loose, you did a beautiful job as I expected, nothing like having a shop like you want it and by the way they’re never big enough. I didn’t see a lighted Hamms sign on the neon wall, they’s a few on marketplace for sale.
That's awesome Taryl, I love the lights especially the neon! I was helping a friend build his outdoor kitchen, still in the completion phase, which has some neon signs already. Someone should pitch a mechanic's shop/garage themed nightclub to Mr. Zadir 😂😮
The ultimte shop that is very well deserved from all the great helpful and funny videos you and your fine family and friends give the world, even us Podunk dwellers.
Thanks for watching!
Yessir 😎👍
Your shop looks very nice
Loved it thanks taryl
Very nice and impressive shop Taryl. You deserve it.
Great shop. YT didn't buy it for you. You earned every penny YT paid you. Thanks for all your great videos.
Taryl glad you are enjoying your new shop.
Taryl. You are right on the linkable lights. I replaced all of my 4 ft fluorescent lights with LED fixtures, they were all the same until they started crapping out. Now I have all of these mis matched lights. I did start to do what you did a couple years a go. I converted a few of the old 4 ft fluorescents to led. I am now going to do the rest of them.
if you dont forget to never put a glass tube in again ever, get single ended power. Easy to convert and you can do it fast

What year model is that Honda CT70 ? My parents bought me a brand new one in 1970. I was 11 years old.

i need to update mine. anytime i need to go in there i need to wait half an hour for them to warm up even when its 100 out
I need to change mine out in shop but don’t know how to 😢
@philliphall5198 it's fairly easy. Just need some 14 gauge wire, wire nuts and a pair of dykes. You can buy more expensive LED bulbs that keep the ballast but then you are going to use twice the amount of electricity to keep them on.
@@philliphall5198 There's not much to it at all. You're just bypassing the ancient ballast brick and going right to the bulbs.
Taryl is the boss. Man, i wouldn't be suprised if he knows how to do the bypass surgery. This guy can fix and build anything.
Taryl, you are amazing... I wish we could duplicate you and spread you around all over Earth.. the world would be a better place! Your thinking lines tie up with how I think... keep building and making and fixing.... I look forward to your videos... it is VERY relaxing to watch you fix things, plus you are an excellent teacher!
Real nice setup! For a guy who's planning to retire in a couple of years, I'm kind of surprised you're doing this. Great looking shop!
Just because you retire doesn't mean you stop tinkering!
I’m retired 7 years ago and I still keep my small engine business going and it’s nearly full time job 😮😢
Kinda can't wait to retire and hang out at my shop all day.

@@MrTheHillfolk if you enjoy what your doing it's not considered "Work"
Yeah, I agree with making the led bulbs changeable.
Would be nice if each side of your outlets were out 180 for 220v possibilities.

LED in my opinion just don't last as long. Start blinking and other issues. If they lasted longer and I know they could. But they won't.

Nice looking conduit runs. You do nice work sir. I worked at a supply house for 32 years, did some electrical work before that. 5000k! That’s your color temperature, the temperature of iron heated to 5000 degrees kelvin! Great color rendering index!(cri) Smart the way you brought power to both fixtures in each set at the same end together, if you know what I mean. (You know what I mean!)
I know it's a matter of taste / opinion, but I placed receptacles strategically in my garage / workshop ceiling. That way if a light acts up or needs to be relocated, I simply unplug it. The receptacles are hooked to your normal light switch. It's a game changer in my opinion.
That smoke grey bench is killer and your shop is looking real good! Nice job!
Best shop around - well done and well earned. Luv the ingenious touches in the electrics, the clever use of magnets, the breezeway, loft, elevator, gate, neon, bikes/minibikes etc. … just outstanding. Enjoy, and thanks for sharing Taryl (& Crew too)!!
Nice job Taryl!! I am an elec-chicken too, but I use a wheelchair. No matter! I am re wiring our high bay garage that had a fire in 2021, using of mostly used (from salvage on demolition work we did as our business) materials, which is a mix of EMT, some rigid, some 2” rigid PVC, and some AC (“BX”) steel armored and also MC aluminum armored cable where it meets code, 100 amp sub feed off the house, used quad-plex ACSR cable on poles donated from our construction company next door, used the bare as neutral, as is usually done, 2 of the 3 insulated wires are the hots for 120/240 volts, and the third insulated (cable WAS for 3 phase) wire is re-coded green for the equipment ground. I resurrected 4 of 8 vintage 400 watt mercury vapor high bays that aside of replacing the popped oil filled capacitors, and cleaned and repainted, will go back up, plus 7 antique green RLM dome incandescent fixtures that get Walmart brand 300 watt equivalent 2700 K (same color as incandescent!) LED bulbs, all on separate switches, with one of the 7 RLM domes dead center on it’s own switch so if ya only need to grab a tool at night! I have LED and one mercury lights outside, all around and with other vintage porcelain enameled fixtures with 40-60 watt equivalent LED bulbs, in the shop and over the entrance ramp. Bay, all on a twist lock photo control that wasn’t damaged in the fire, so all dusk to dawn on these! The nite lites in the shop already come in handy! I even got the exit signs (mostly for looks) working!! And yes, I feel ya on taking a long time! Almost 2 years (on and off because of too cold in winter, too hot/muggy in summer, and being a chair user and improvising ways to gain access higher up was and us a challenge, being a paraplegic. Getting there, workmanship os Paramount to me, too! OH-on the LED retrofit of fluorescent, as a lighting guy and bulb collector bI 107% concur!! That was smart. I DO NOT like the nasty, harsh, headache-inducing 5000!K fluorescents or LED’s though! Also dislike 4100-4150 K cool white as well! I would prefer 3000 K warm white, same as high watt incandescent or halogen, or 3500K which id neutral, not warm or cool. OR 6500 K daylight if I HAVE to go witk cooler color temps. Those 5000 K LED 4 foot tubes are the least likely for me to use. These 8 foot strip fixtures with 4 foot lamps end to end are called TANEM strips, by the way. I have some I had in storage in the garage that burned in the garage fire, the housings had the paint burned off, need socket etc which I have plenty of, so I will sand the rust off, repaint and put in new electrical, may go LED, but I also still have lots of electronic T-8 Ballasts and bulbs, so can go either way. Too good to scrap! Cheers Taryl!! 👍🏻😋
Check out your favorite past skits revisited here! Now with never-before-seen outtakes and bloopers!
Great job on the new shop electrical. Now you can also get 240v from those outlets that are on a seperate circuit if it's connected to L1 and L2. Balance the load! LEDs are the way to go for sure. I changed out all the CFL can lights to LEDS in the house and what a difference for the better.
Super nice shop I wish I had something like that I have a glorified shed as a garage. but what I did with my bench is I drilled a hole and put an old vacuum underneath tucked away and put the hose up through just enough so you can hook up another hose and have an brush attachment which I use a lot on dirty parts and mounted a switch on my bench so I can turn it on and don't have to bend over love your videos I've learned a lot thanks for all the info over the years and keep them coming😊
Awesome job , very nice work ! Thanks for sharing !!!!! 😊🙏👍❤️
LOOKING GOOD GUYS , IMPRESSIVE !
I love the shop addition along with the thought and quality of work done putting in the finishing touches. I did note something missing in the Frank Sinatra rendition of "My Way" but I'm not quite certain what it is.
Wow, the new shop a rea looks amazing.👍👍👍👍👍
Taryl, that is simply Majestic!! Everything is so well thought out....You will have to show us the movie theater and the cigar bar.........Love the workbench and the spiral staircase. I had one of those in my house that I lived in in Philadelphia when I was in School.....
Best think about using the conveyer section with the cutoff saw is that it can't be cluttered with other projects, which would need to be cleared if the saw is needed. Great shop Taryl!
Right on T. Nice shop setup. I did the same thing 10 years ago. Bought 60 hyperikon linear led tubes and back then they were $20/each! Turned in a focus on energy to my local power coop and got @ $300 back. I load tested these compared to high efficiency T8s and these pulled @ 40% less power and no cold weather low out lighting output, no flickering, and no deflector needed do to the 160* beam angle. Use cellulose insulation. Much better R value and noise suppression than fiberglass
I bought those bulbs after watching this to upgrade my shop lights. Removed the ballasts and rewires. They are so bright! love them. thanks.
Wow it looks so nice.I don’t think there is anything you can’t do Tarly!I love watching you ,you always take your time to explain everything.Thank you so much for sharing your videos with us.Ed from Michigan
The shop looks very good. Here in the pacific northwest if we don't use a vapor barrier on the roof when you put the metal roof on , it will rain inside when you add heat. I sure hope that doesn't happen to you. Love all the light.
Taryl,his family, his friends, his viewers, his subscribers, and online store customers are the folks responsible for making the addition possible. All these folks made it possible for YT to sell advertising and gather/sell viewer data to make a profit for YT shareholders. Now there's your lunch.
really great looking shop Taryl
Nice work shop, all the bells and whistles.
Those harbor Freight magnetic strips are great. I bought thirty of them at a very special price. I just screw them close to work areas and also inside tool cabinet drawers with wood strip spacers for a flush fit and they stay organized. Rivet a few under the lid of a mobile tool cabinet and at the end of the work session put them back home
You are a creative individual taryl loved it thanks
You deserve it..your the best of the best.. congratulations..
Taryl Totally Awesome, you earned that building and you are making it your own way , your own style. Not only that your doing good for the planet. You recycle so many things I love your ingenuity, raw talent and ideas, saw you at the Threshermans in Pontiac a few weeks ago, hope you get some time to finish that beautiful addition. Nice work as always, Rich B Lockport Il.😎👍
Hey Taryl, FYI... Based on the NEC... The circuit breakers to those receptacles need to be physically tied together so that ALL power to the receptacles electrical box is OFF for SAFETY sake... (NEC) sections 210.4(B) and 210.7(B) address the simultaneous disconnection of ungrounded conductors in multiwire branch circuits:
210.4(B)
Requires that all ungrounded conductors in a multiwire branch circuit be able to be disconnected simultaneously at the point where the branch circuit originates. This is usually done with a double-pole breaker, but two single-pole breakers with identified handle ties can also be used.
210.7(B)
Requires that a means be provided to simultaneously disconnect all ungrounded conductors that supply devices or equipment. This should be located at the point where the branch circuit originates.
The purpose of these rules is to prevent people from working on energized circuits.
Unfortunately, this negates your original intent... :( A workaround could be to have two physically separate receptacle boxes... which essentially isolates both circuits from one another... and would meet NEC requirements...
How do you know that is a multiwire branch circuit? And having separate boxes doesn't mean something isn't multiwire branch circuit.
Just put the two breakers side by side with a common trip?
Taryl i Love your Ingenuity and Organizational Skills your New Shop has A lot of Thought into it and Efficiency ! Your Work Ethic is What this Country was Built on ! Thank You for showing us
Awesome shop tour. Thanks Taryl, I'm liking how you have it set up.
Most quality Tleds allow for either single or double end power feed.
This way if you have newer fixtures you are retrofiiting, you don't have to worry about "shunted " sockets.
Line and neutral can either go in one end or line in one end and neutral in the other.
Having a nice shop is so satisfying. Doesn't need to be all new and fancy, just clean and organized. You did a great job.
It is amazing how much we think alike.
VERY much enjoyed this production. THANKX!
Nice job Taryl!!! I'm very close to finishing my 24x54 garage. Conventional framing on a monalithic pour, heated floor and i used linkable lights. Its a 3 car with a 20x20 shop on one end and you are absolutely right. Its not that big once you fill it.
Taryl, as a person that retired after designing electrical for over 35 years, I must say that I agree with your design decisions on the LED tubes and using the luminaires as wireways. You did a great job! I do have some questions because as you said “Safety First”. Did you put all the receptacles on GFCI? The uncovered concrete causes them to be required. I would not have gotten the 5000K colored LEDs. That has lots of blue light which is proven harmful to your eyes. Remember Blue Blocker glasses? I didn’t see a mandoor, so I’m assuming your building meets the means of egress requirements. Most likely it does. Since this is commercial space, you didn’t mention “Emergency Lights” for the means of egress, and I did not see an EXIT sign.
I’m not trying to be a safety troll! These may be things you were not aware of. An electrical designer and electrician are not the same. Different focus.
Beautiful shop! Best wishes! Kevin
You can get guards for those lights that will keep you from bumping into them and busting the bulbs. I'm with ya on those stinking linkable LED lights. Aint no telling how many I've replaced and had to redo the total room because you can't get replacements.
Only knock Ill give ya is on your EMT. Code says it needs to be strapped something like 16 inches on each end. I kinda doubt you had to get it inspected since you DIY it.
Thanks for the walk through. I still have to wire up my 30x40 barn. I like the tip for only ten outlets per circuit - I did not know that one. I plan to do the same - left and right circuits in each box. I plan to color code my outlets for easier identification. I plan on two light circuits, 1 for electronics (every dog house / man cave needs a Hi-Fi and TV), one for battery tenders, several 110v-20a and 220v-50a circuits for tools.
Love your building. I knew my 30 x 50 was going to be too small. I should send you some pics of my space. 10K lift in the middle of shop, less than 3K couple years ago. Redoing a Scag on it now.
I have a little electrical experience myself and was wondering if this applies to your situation ?
"Fluorescent lighting fixtures may be used as raceways if they are listed for use as a raceway. Lighting fixtures are not traditionally designed to serve as raceways, which are enclosed conduits that encase and protect electrical wires"
NEC 410.64(A), (B), or (C).
Other than that ......nice job and happy for you
The new shop is looking great. It'll be ready just about the time you retire.
Wow you did a super job on the electrical!! Nice enough to live in. Congratulations. Very cool.
Awesome Taryl, your videos are amazing and extremely educational. You are sharing your in-depth knowledge and expertise for future generations. I picked up some great repair tips from your channel
Very impressive with Lights, especially the Neon ones. Aren't you going to miss not having any windows? And I certainly hope There is insulation in the walls and ceiling, Otherwise that metal shop of yours is going to be an heating energy pit! Have a lot of great efficiency ideas and it will be
Interesting to see how it works out.
Taryl, great walkthrough. You get a lot of free stuff, that helps. Nicely done with all of the electrical work. We're not allowed to do that down here in the land of Oz.
Great job, Taryl. Very nice shop.
What a beautiful shop! Your a lucky Guy! But, you worked hard for it.
Color me green with envy. Thats a good looking setup.
You done alot of work. It looks great. That bench is awesome. The metal fireproof cabinet is great to store the solvents,the shelves on the doors are a bonus.👍 🇺🇸
@32:00 Maybe some additional relay circuit for the attic lights.
They are still running during the working hours (when main lights are on) when you forgot them to turn off. Or a control light (red ?) visible from the shop.
Great job on all your videos you earned everything you tube pays ya. We retrofit grocery stores exactly how your doing it. Only thing is we add a fuse link to each row. Can add a sticker inside outlet covers or on side to indicate which circuit breaker goes to each outlet. Job well done Freind.
did you run a 12/3 ( or equivalent) with ground through the lights and down to the duplex outlets and then split the hotlegs , and use the bare ground as one of the neutrals, and then just ground the plugs to the metal post? And of course in breaker panel the hot legs split to two separate or one split breaker. And AND, ... you know you can put cages over those lights to protect them from
" N.OP.E." related events. You might lose some brightness but it may not be noticeable. And there's your brunch, or a snack, or a snickers, if it takes too long and/or might be funny.
P.S. since those are led have you thought about testing them on spark plug tester to see if they light up your life? Leds are DC but i think once the situation is rectified they can run on AC . Theres your seconds.
oh Thanx for putting this up Taryl. i’ll get my garage lights from your commission stuff and the adhesive.
Nice shop congratulations looks great👍
I bought some of those LED NEON rope, 2 sets at 22ft and used Z-Channel flashing to make a little shelf along the perimeter of the garage ceiling -- I used 90 degree led strip connectors w/ heat shrink in the corners, (because the rope lights don't bend well) and powered it with an IBM laptop 12v 5a brick, also have a jungle site dimmer. Anyway those led neon rope lights have been on constantly for 4 years with no issue whatsoever.
So Cool. Wow what a nice shop Taryl.
Very nice! I'm surprised that you don't have one of the old Hamm's Beer sign. You know the moving sign with the river, woods, canoe, campfire going etc. You have the right ambiance with the glowing neon signs etc...
Outstanding shop. I see how proud you are of it and you should be. Had your hands on every bit of it. 👍
Wow!!...That's a great looking shop Taryl...very ingenious, the way you did everything Especially those magnets holding all those signs on the walls...your a very gifted man my friend !!
You deserve every inch of that shop. Have been watching your channel since 2018.
Some jurisdictions do not allow using florescent fixtures as a raceway (a conduit) except for lighting circuits. I am about ready to go back to florescent lamps from LEDs. A lot of those LEDs just don't last and if they are in the warehouse I have to empty the shelves and then move the shelves. Running convenience outlet circuits in florescent fixtures is a no no where I live. I like to stagger multiple lighting circuits too so if a breaker trips, I am not fumbling around in the dark.
Beautiful !!! Wonderful stuff !!!
excellent layout and shop. I dont know if you have any interest, but Kasa makes some really nice app operated switches. I tied mine in parallel with standard switches so i can roll either way (manual or app) . Kasa has a very reliable ,easy to use, long distance control setup.I They work flawless with any 2.4 ghz Wireless Access point. I use mine in both arenas.(wireless AND manual).Any heavy current load on a circuit above 600 watts? Take a 6ACH8 relay and load up to 6-8 amps on a relay with 120 volt coil. They are mega cheap and reliable. (like $8 a relay) they are so reliable they may outlive your life !
Super cool No Nay L's glue Mags & the Rollin Rail
Tayrl lights idea very clean & useful design
Taryl, Im a big fan of yours and have learn a lot from your Tips-n-Tricks. Now I've some maybe some negative comments, so don't get to snarlly, I still love ya' man. If you was to walk into this shop and it was built by some else, I think you'd say to yourself man, what is this, his living Room with some work benchs and tool boxes? Yes, it's all very pretty and you definitely got what you wanted. But I can hear you say, "It's not my livin' Room, but It's a "For Profit" Mower Repair Shop, Similar to, "It Ain't the Space Shuttle, It's a Lawn Mower". There's few Items I didn't see and that's the Air lines for air tools and where will the compressor be located? The Sand/ bead blaster will be a air hog and the compressor will be runnin' most of the time when you're using the blaster and or filming the latest TFA's, so noise will be a issue. I don't know if you already have one, but a medium size metal cutting lathe would of use as well. Just some thoughts.
Great looking new shop your doing it up right the first time around
I think you need to relocate the traffic light to the office, and have a sign that indicates shop mood is: red- stop go no farther
Yellow - enter at own risk
Green -safe to proceed 😂😂😂
This might come in handy with everyone stopping in to drive you crazy!
And I also like the fact that you ran 2 circuits to each electrical box, each being 20 amps, it will give you the ability to create 220v @20amps at any given location. However I wouldn’t have used the lamp housing as a raceway for receptacles, but that is just me, i don’t like mixing Lighting with power, in a conduit even though power is power. I also hope you have a few 30a-220v satellite receptacles for welding around the shop ( just because sometimes it is easier to bring the welder to the project than the project to the welder!
Wow coming along nicely, great update. 👍👍
Beautiful job, Taryl. Congratulations!
I was wondering how you bridged that span making up the floor span until you went in the attic and saw the internal load bearing structure of spaced trusses. I was wondering if that building was the steel framed buildings that are truss free. Great job Taryl
Just need a bed in the corner and I could live there. Been Tarylizin stuff and slingin dinosaur juice all my life.
Congratulations!! U deserve it! Nicely done electrical work. VERY PROFESSIONAL! I was JUST thinking what repair work on gasoline engines are going to survive. I realize alot still out there, but is it a dying breed? I wish u nothing but the best! ✊️👍🖖🇺🇸
H0 4-speed!!!!! I have same one in the blue/green color. Love the candy red!
Love your new shop. When you do everything yourself. It takes a little longer. But you know that everything will be done correctly and on budget.
pvc drill holders are nice and pretty siimple to diy.
LOOKING AWESOME! Surprised TARYL installed elec outlets w/ ground down. Typically ⚡️ run (commercial-industrial) 125V 20A ground “UP” for shop safety.
At any rate, it looks great!
Awesome !! Even when you retire that is such an awesome place to do fun work.
Brilliant new shop, i would love a space like that, id have a machine corner with a lathe and mill, likely a few other bits.... some day...
Good job Taryl. Well thought out.
That bench is Beautiful !!!!!!
Shocking LOL what you have done! Very happy for you!
The new shop side looks awesome. With the neon lights and signs
Beautiful - Awesome - Fantastic - Great Job 👍
Great job. Looks very sharp.
Not to nitpick, but, another thing I would go around & do is take your labelmaker to those outlet boxes... Panel 2, breaker 12. Panel 2, breaker 14, so on & so forth. Then a year or 2 later, you don't have to wonder... And obviously, for that panel, put a big label on it, panel 2.... Just a thought.
Another thing I've done is put motion detectors in a few places.... I went out to my outdoor shop, walk in, lights are all on... I kinda said okay, that's it... Put the motion detector. 5 minutes, it turns off. No more lights left on. Plus, it's super convenient, I didn't realize this until later, but you walk in, and the lights turn on, which is actually very nice.... You're carrying something? Don't worry about it, lights turn on by themselves. Walking into a big dark shop? Don't worry about it, lights come on right away, you're not gonna fall & crack your head open..... Actually real nice to have....
Hope your outlet circuits are separate from the lighting circuits or you could be fumbling around in the dark back to the load center to reset the tripped breaker and I hope you installed gfci breakers for your outlet circuits, with all your interior finished with metal and having a concrete floor, y’all are to special to loose, you did a beautiful job as I expected, nothing like having a shop like you want it and by the way they’re never big enough.
I didn’t see a lighted Hamms sign on the neon wall, they’s a few on marketplace for sale.
That shop is AWESOME!!! And, the safety gate build is BRILLIANT!!!!
That's awesome Taryl, I love the lights especially the neon! I was helping a friend build his outdoor kitchen, still in the completion phase, which has some neon signs already. Someone should pitch a mechanic's shop/garage themed nightclub to Mr. Zadir 😂😮
