Your shop reminds me of Rockler Woodworking store. Drawers n tools everywhere! Love your shop. It alone is a work of art!
IT'S HARD TO FIND WORDS THAT WOULD DESCRIBE ALL THE DETAILS , ENGINEERING , DESIGNS & THE CLEVER IDEAS TO PULL OFF THIS MASSIVE AMOUNT OF GENIS SET UP . THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING & INSPIRING SO OTHERS CAN HAVE A PATH TO FOLLOW IN SHOP LAY OUT. 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for the kind words my friend. That really means a lot to me.
@@thatwoodguy104 YOUR SO WELCOME YOU ARE VERY BLESSED TO HAVE A DAD & MOM TO BE SO SUPPORTIVE AND ENCOURAGING NOT TO MENTION ACTIVE IN YOUR JOURNEY. KEEPTHE FAITH .
I've been a woodworker,,,,cabinet maker for over 40 years. Everything that you have done and made to have a well equipped shop is amazing! PERIOD! Everything is neat and tucked into every available space. You should be proud of who you are and what you've accomplished. I have a beautiful 38'x44' building and I'm slowly getting back to woodworking again after a ten year break due to having crohns disease. I have a lot of space to fill up, but as you know things are very expensive and it just takes time to aquire everything you need to have a great shop!!!! Have a great day! Ray
That's a well thought out, beautiful shop, you're making all us old woodworkers jealous 😂, and some good ideas 💡. God bless
LOL! Thank you so much my friend. Truly means a lot :)
My man, I was hesitant to invest 45 minutes for a shop tour, but there are so many impressive elements here, I’ll likely watched over and over. I love how thoughtful you were about the shop’s function, but more so, I appreciate your sense of tradition based on you father and grandfather’s work. Thanks for sharing this!
That truly means a lot to me my friend! 😁 please keep coming back and visiting :) I have so much more to share
We can certainly tell by looking at the cabinetry what level of talent you have!!!
Thanks so much my friend. That means a lot
DOGGONE, Greg, that whole shop is like a beautiful museum !!!!
Thanks so much welderman🤣👍🏻 really appreciate you checking out the shop
The level of detail in that shop is second to none. That is awesome. I am not sure whether I should tell you this but you can change out mitre saw blades 😉 having a mitre saw for each blade is sweet but I like being married. Amazing craftsmanship. I like the red oak. I have always been a fan of the red oak with clear coat. The 80s were not kind to red oak because there was too much orange stain applied but with just the clear it looks great 👍
To have built that workshop at your age... OMG what a wonderful accomplishment! Seems to me so many young people spend all their free time on cell phones or video games, (nothing to show for it later)....Tons of credit to your Dad too!
Thanks so much mark! It’s truly been a passion of mine building the shop and then the projects that come out of it... I’m beyond lucky to have the support my both my parents to allow me to always pursue my dreams... appreciate you visiting the shop 👍🏻🪚 make sure to keep popping in
This is amazing!! .y dad and I had a major falling out about 20 years ago, he was a cabinet maker and pro carpenter, I started to run the his shop, he trained me as a cabinet maker to which I hated and fought so much with him because I never wanted to be him.....now, he's gone...he left me the shop, everything in it was made by him and reminds me how proud he was of his craftsmanship....BTW i became and made money working as a cabinet maker, I miss him so much...well done for your shop, I'm so glad to see that you and your dad work together in this shop
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for sharing your story Joel. Really means a lot to me my friend 🙏🏻 that’s truly priceless
I hear ya, I do. My dad wouldn't loan me a chisel for one little shaving when I was young and poor. He told me "Get your own tools!"
30 years later I finally could start getting some inexpensive tools. My training and skill were delayed 3 decades. :(
He's gone now, I have tools and equipment now... and his tools which were left behind.
That chisel is the one I use the most, and I try to do work that he would approve of.
My own family will get encouragement and training from me.
I hope they carry it forward with fond memories when I am gone.
I have to add, I have never been a fan of a basement woodshop, but this one is the exception to the exception. Beautiful shop, fantastically laid out and very clearly well thought out. Love it and congratulations to you and your father. The thought and care you have taken with your layout, lighting, materials, storage and storage units is above and beyond. Well done young man.
Thanks so much John! All your kind words Truly means so much to me! Please keep coming back to visit :) I have so much more to share
This is the shop of dreams. Well done sir, congratulations!
That’s means so much! Thank you for the kind words my friend 🙏🏻🪚 hope you keep coming back to visit
@@thatwoodguy104 I will definitely be back.
WOW! Just wow. What a space you have there. Your custom cabinetry is beautiful! Other than the height problem, it looks like you have a lot of space around each tool. Very clever to use the milling machine for wood. Talk about accurate, and dead-flat pieces. I LOVE that the cabinets all have plexiglass doors and lighting. And the shop looked spotless, so I would say your fine dust collection is very good. Even when you clean there is always fine dust that falls everywhere. Long-term that will be very good for your lungs. I have always used a handkerchief, then went onto a respirator before it was a thing. Unfortunately, my eldest brother who did the same as grampa, has a very difficult time breathing without oxygen because he never wore a mask except when spraying finishes. My other brother worked with antique homes, taking them down and erecting them elsewhere and/or he repaired them. He was exposed to not only dust but dried fecal matter from rodents, squirrels, and raccoons and is now having breathing issues.
I'm of a similar mind that if I'm going to be working in space for long lengths of time, then I want it to be appealing to me. Some of these guys out there that are doing the work you are, don't understand the customer aspect of a shop. I hate hearing " well it is just shop furniture" and just slap boards together. It is a wasted opportunity to practice dovetails, custom molding, rabbits, and dados. You want the customer to see your work and what you are capable of. It's your "showroom" if you will of your talent. I'm not referring to the people just starting. Those can be lean years in the beginning. Back when you could get kitchen cabinets that would end up in a dumpster for free, that is what was in my shop. In the garage metal shop, I installed garage-grade cabinets I got from a big box store. After 20+ yrs, only one door warped on me, and the rest still look like the day I stained them.
I'm studying Korean and Japanese joinery and I figure what better place than my shop to practice it? I am refitting my shop this spring right after the addition goes on and the custom cabinets and 100-plus drawers will give me a chance to use those new skills. Though I'm only showing off to friends and family. I retired from my day job at 50 so this is for the most part a hobby shop. I would much rather screw up a shop cabinet than a customer's cabinet.
I love the history associated with the things in your shop. I loved my grampa and spending time in his workshop. When I think of those early days, I can almost smell the cherry tobacco he smoked in his shop. He was a furniture, and custom cabinetry maker. So as soon as I started to walk, I would always go to the shop. When I was 10, he decided I was old enough to start using the hand tools. My favorite job was peeling branches for the carved walking canes he also made, with a spokeshave. He had about a dozen different spokeshaves he used all of the time and in every configuration there was. Some were either custom commissioned for him, or he made them himself out of a mix of hardwoods like ebony and rosewood with gleaming brass, and red bronze parts. By 12 I had blade sharpening down, and I loved that too. (let's just say I loved every aspect of woodworking), including harvesting trees on the back 40 acres put aside just for that very purpose. He had an old 1942 military truck, which I called the rust bucket. It had removable heavy-duty canvas doors, that came off every spring until late fall. It was 4-wheel drive, and because it was a matter of doing something with the tires, I think, to put it into 4-wheel drive, he just kept it in that mode and could drive over just about anything. He had a two-wheel rig that held 3 large logs at a time on one end, and the other ends were chained to a long bar that was then chained to the truck. He would let me sit on his lap and drive down the old logging roads that went around the entire 200 acres. My older brothers drove it on their own as well as the old Willys jeep cramps had until I turned 14, then I drove tractors to that jeep. Gosh, I'm rambling, sorry.
You can count me in as a new subscriber and I look forward to your other videos.
I absolutely can’t thank you enough for your kind words and brief story into some of your woodworking passion, Please never hesitate to explain what makes you happy and what certain thing strikes a memory🙏🏻 thank you so much again for your support already into not only me the craftsman but the shop as well :)
Most don’t understand how some of us woodworkers express our shop as a studio... a studio for our clients or anybody really to see what kind of artist they are dealing with 🪚 it’s always been a passion of mine just as much as the woodworking it’s self is literally shop building and making things nice....
I’m really interested in your journey with Japanese joinery.. I love old Japanese woodworking and design...
thank you again for stopping by to check out the shop and I have so much more to share :)
I enjoyed reading your comment almost as much as the video... I had one grandfather that was a farmer and hobby woodworker and I never got to spend any real time in his shop... somehow it ended up in my blood though. It sounds like you had amazing experiences with him. Thanks for sharing.
This shop is nothing short of incredible. Really motivating to build beter shop furniture. So much detail.
Glad you like it!😊
I’m impressed by the attention to detail. If this is the care and attention that goes into “shop” furniture, I can’t imagine how amazing your customer builds are. Way to go. Can’t wait to see more builds. (Enjoyed the jewelry box build, btw!)
Thanks so much will. That means a lot to me👍🏻😁 hope to keep you checking back in my friend
Holy Crap! What a beautiful shop! Your workmanship is exquisite. Those piston fit drawers! Wow.
All I can say is, Amazing, absolutely Amazing. So impressed.
Thanks Uncle Tom! 👍🏻💙
What a beautiful shop! A wonderful Father and Son labor of love.
Thanks so much Chris! Yes it is! I’m so blessed to be able to have this memory forever :)
I watched this to get some ideas for a shop I am building. It won't be near this big but what a great use of space. I have seen some shops but yours is amazing!! It's well thought out and well planned. Your cabinet work, for cabinets that are just shop cabinets, is amazing! I hope I utilize my space 1/2 as well as you did.
Thanks so much my friend.. that all means so much to me... it’s been a labor of love building this shop and I’m happy to now share ideas to maybe help you design yours now :) make sure you keep coming back for more ideas and new projects I have coming
Wow this is nice. I found your video trying to get ideas for redesigning and reorganizing my totally trashy workshop space since I got some nice practically new tools from my father-in-law, and you have given me so many ideas for ways I can organize everything, but now I gotta figure out where to start! LOL My workshop is a section of my pole barn garage, and the foam insulation is falling off the walls, but your idea to use foam behind pegboard may have just solved my problem, so looks like I'll be replacing the foam board and installing peg board over it- so thank you for showing that, it's very ingenious!
One of the most impressive shop tours I’ve seen. And to be able to work from home is a bonus. Cheers
Thanks Kent! That means a lot to me my fiend
Beautiful shop. I love the tools and organization but also I love the connection your shop gives you to your father. Cheers.
Thanks so much JB.. yes sir, that shop is very much me and my dad at our finest :) thanks so much for watching.
Am loving the little table saw.
Thanks so much! :)
Wow, truly inspiring. I can see your point in having cabinets for storage and for showingof your skills. I never thought of that before but now it totally makes sense. Well done indeed!
Thanks tom. Yes sir, it’s been a huge benefit and strong point is showcasing the shop so any person or client can see the detail in craftsmanship :)
This shop is awe-inspiring. I love how organized it is. Im going to make some of these cabinets for my own shop.
Love those old tool boxes! That is without a doubt the very best outfitted, and best organized Basement Wood Shop I have EVER seen! Very well done!
Greg that is a truly amazing woodshop.....all the custom made furniture are works of art...would love to see more workshop videos :)
Thank you so much Angela. that means a lot. And please keep checking back for videos... I’m aiming for Wednesday’s and Saturday’s for uploads. :)
That is the most amazing basement shop I have ever seen - especially with the cabinetry, bench space, outflow tables, and lighting!
agreed
What a shop! I cannot believe how good the layout is and the cabinets. Great work
Thanks Jeremy! That means a lot! Please keep coming back to visit :)
Fantastic workshop, a credit to your skill
Thanks so much Steve! 👍🏻
New sub here. Just found this video. I absolutely love to see how people use their space for shops. The way you use negative spaces is inspiring. I try to do the same in my shop. Every square inch gets used. Great video.
Thanks for the sub my friend and welcome! I hope to keep you interested.. I have lots of new projects coming and a few shop upgrades too :) thanks so much for checking it out and good luck with your shop too 👍🏻🪚
Wow some ones got talents! Really nice looking Shop!Your Grand Dad would be Proud!
Thanks so much rob! Truly means a lot my friend :)
This is what I would call an EFFICIENT use of space! Thanks for the tour.
I am officially jealous. Great shop! Use that space 🤘🤘🤘
Thanks so much Rick! LOL!🤣👍🏻
Even in my dreams I couldn't imagine a better woodworking shop , incredible! You should fill your pencil drawer because ( you can never have enough pencils!)
Thanks so much Michael! Your kind words Really means a lot to me. And yes! That pencil drawer is getting low!!!👍🏻🤣
Greg, that is really outstanding. I needed motivation to organize my shop. I told myself, no new projects until I clean up and organize. Thanks for making the video, it gave me some good ideas. I can't wait to see your projects! Be safe and stay healthy!
Thank you so much for visiting Robert! Truly means a lot to me to have all your support... and I hope I can continue to interest you in visiting here :) 👍🏻
Very impressive. It’s obvious seeing your shop that a lot of time was put into it. Not just in the design, but all the labor too. Love the layout with the isles and cabinet walls instead of just an open room. It’s like a shop/ mancave. Cool place to just hangout, but also an awesome place to build things with some really nice tools. Thank you for the tour.
Thanks so much my friend. It most certainly is a labor of love that is cool to just hangout. :) I really appreciate you visiting. Please make sure to
Come back and keep checking out future projects
Wow!! That’s all I can say about your awesome dream shop. I was searching shop tours and came across your tour. Thank you for sharing your wonderfully done video and shop tour. I am blown away how organized and efficient the shop is designed. What a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
very nice workshop excellent use of available space, well organized and layed out👌👍
Thanks so much graham! Really means a lot to me my friend :)
Showing this video to my wife so she we quit complaining about all of my tools! Holy cow you have got every tool know to man more than one of some of them. Been planning on building a cabinet below my drill press. Love the design of your be able to pull it out.
🤣LOL!! I hope this video helped... I can’t thankyouuu enough for watching tom.. please do make sure you keep visiting. I have a lot to show still :) and also please email me a picture of your drill press cabinet maybe when you complete it👍🏻😁🪚🔨take care my friend
So impressive! Thank you for the tour. Such a great example of how a shop is so unique to everyone. I think people too often try to mimic others. Your creativity really shines and will serve to help others be creative too.
Thank you so much my friend. Really appreciate you checking it out :)
Im impressed with what you & your dad worked on down there, & the memorial pieces you've received from your grandad! Theres so much ingenuity & love in your cozy shop!
Thanks for sharing. Great shop!
Thanks bill! Really appreciate you :)
All I can say is Wow!!! you really have set up above and beyond anything I could ever emagine. just beautiful! so jelous!
Good morning everyone keep up the great videos. You inspired me to get a haircut.
That is one very impressive workshop that you and your Dad have built. You have made use of every inch of space and planned out where everything goes really. well. I am so jealous and wish my tiny basic 16feet by 8 feet space looked half as good as this. I'm just starting out and need to get it properly sorted out. The pictures of you work are mind-blowing. Keep up the great work and I hope you continue for years to come. Best wishes from the UK
Bro what a. Incredible impressive shop . The cabinet from your grandfather OMG how I wish I had to saved my grandfathers tools anyway you have a great shop
I am a serious hobbyist...I can probably make a shop like this in a century or two, but in my dreams...Oh man, what did you eat? That's tons and tons of work there...Wow! Loved it.
Really appreciate you Henry 👍🏻🤣
Very nice, craftsmanship is amazing!
Thanks so much!
A great shop and beautiful place to work. Love it
Thanks so much raj! 👍🏻 really appreciate you
This is so amazing. By far, the best video I have seen, ever. Please make more shop videos
Thanks so much Dennis! Really means a lot to have you visit :) more shop videos coming. Please make sure to keep visiting :)

Wonderful! Congrats and many thanks👍
Beautiful shop and shop furniture
Thanks Jim! Really appreciate you visiting
Very nice shop layout.
Congratulations to you and your Dad's work.
Thanks so much ken! That really means a lot :)
Excellent, thoughtful video. Thank you.
IN... CREDIBLE! I've watched a lot of 'shop videos,' developing ideas on how to improve my shop. I, too, have a milling machine in my shop I use for both metal and wood (soft, malleable metal).... OK, my friend, you earned my subscription; now to 'see you at work....'
Truly means a lot to have you aboard Carl. I hope to keep you entertained as much as possible :) I have a lot of wood working projects along with shop upgrade projects coming... really appreciate you checking out the shop :)
Awesome shop! I can't imagine the number of hours you have spent building out your shop
Beautiful shop ! Thanks for sharing it with us all
Thank you for sharing your time and taking us through your shop, it’s amazing.
Thanks for watching!😊
Amazing! Beautiful shop.
DUDE!!!! You're Shop is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Amazingly anal! There are certainly places and ways you can "lean" it out so your not making as many steps throughout the day. But the way you have it all built out and the amount of Grizzly tools!! I was at Grizzly just yesterday and it took me 2 hours to decide to pull the trigger to get a drill press. I love their tools, just not the prices :-(. The craftsmanship of your builds is truly incredible. And the amount of analnise of your Dad's electrical work and how much of it there is!! You're Grandpa did BEAUTIFUL work. But dude, don't sell your self short. Both you and your Dad do amazing stuff too. The fact you could pay for all this is also amazing! This is the nicest shop I've seen yet on TH-cam. Great, GREAT job!!!
Your kind words truly means so much cackleberry! Thank you so much for visiting :) I’ve had great luck with my grizzly tools. Please make sure to please keep coming back to visit. I have a lot to share still :)
@@thatwoodguy104 Oh I will. Your craftsmanship is a true inspiration for me!! As am sure it is for others that watch your woodworking videos. Did you get your milling machine used?
❤ I loved your video of the shop. A lot of good memories down there I think of my little spot in the corner I used to have. Keep up the good work son so proud of you❤❤
Love you endlessly momma❤️

beautiful shop! thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much for visiting! :)
wow amazing shop! Good luck and all the best!
Thanks so much my friend! You as well. Please keep coming back to visit :)
Loved the tour and very happy for you. I've often thought about my own basement shop here in Canada, and how much of it will help one of the kids who is a carpenter and also interested in woodworking. Since the house might be sold before I am gone, I am trying to at least ensure that most of the content in the shop will be sufficiently portable and useful to him. It can take forever to buy, build and collect just that, never mind organizing it as well as you guys did. Loved the lighting, particularly the switching.
Thank you so much for visiting M C. There’s something special about a cozy basement woodshop.. :) that’s so cool about your thought of helping one of the kids who’s a carpenter by building a basement woodshop too... it was a huge labor of love for me and my dad to build together..
Love your shop Built with a labor of love
Thanks Randy! 😁👍🏻 please keep coming back
Thanks for the tour. amazing shop. I am just getting started in serious wooworking and your layout and storage strategies are an inspiration. Thanks for sharing and explaining. 😊
Thank you for visiting MJ... and I also appreciate your kind words... so cool about how your woodworking bug has continued to grow... it all started small for me and just took off like a bon-fire.. make sure to keep coming back and checking out future videos :)
The best workshop ever!
Thanks so much my friend! That means so much 👍🏻😁 please keep coming back to visit
Greg.. this is very well put together. I will say this has a better workflow than my engine rebuilding room..
Thanks Dan! Means a lot to me :) 😁👍🏻 it’s been a work in progress for many years
Great wood shop , woodworkers dream.
Thanks my friend! That means a lot
Incredible shop! Thanks for sharing. My favorite part is all of the custom cabinetry combined with enviable electrical capacity. The whole room is a work of art. It’s so cool that you can share it with your dad, and apparently, pieces from your grandfather.❤. I’m curious about your hand injury. Hope it heals fast!
Thanks so much Lisa. Really means a lot to me to have you check out the shop. :) so my hand injury was a table saw accident :/ I am going to be posting a more specific video explaining what happened so make sure to please check it out along with more projects that I have coming :) thank you so much again for your support and kind words
WOW, I'm inpressed! that pencil draw must be 4' long.
Thanks so much! Yes sir! Handy little drawer :)
This is a great inspiration. I am building my own workshop of about the same size now. I will try to reuse some of your ideas. Thanks!
Thanks so much for watching my friend. Yes please do! 👍🏻🪚 that means so much. Hope to keep you coming back
Beautiful shop, will be following along!! Terry
Thanks my friend! That Really means a lot for following :)
Absolutely incredible. I have a similar mentally as you and know for sure you obsessed about what you plan on achieve... having that vision, patients and dedication to get it done.. that 100+ drawer cubie says it all
Thank you so much my friend! Your kind words means so much :)
Just a Amazing work shop you are a very blessed young man ,don't know if you have kids but hope there as a 4th generation to learn !!!! Keep on cutting brother .
I could watch this video all day long! I don’t have words to describe your work shop.
That means so much to me.. thank you so much my friend :)
Amazing!
Thank you! :)
Super impressive! Studio woodworkers, eat your heart out! This is what it looks like to have a passion for your craft!
Really appreciate that my friend. Your kind words mean a lot 👍🏻
I just came across your channel and watched your workshop tour. Very impressed to say the least. I always felt that the basement workshops have a much more personal touch to them. It is obvious the quality you put into customers work when you have such an outstanding workshop. I will definitely be checking out your other videos. Keep up the great work.
I really appreciate you checking it out Ron :) and your kind words means a lot my friend. Yes please do keep checking back in I have much more to share
Wow, what an amazing craftsman you are! Your Grandfather and Father im sure are very proud of you. The way you have set up your shop and utilize every inch of space is just fantastic!
Wow, what a space. Inspirational for me as we build out our new workshop. Subbed!
Awesome! Thank you!😊
In that drawer full of cutters, please think about something to keep them from banging into each other, those edges are delicate. Nice shop!
Very good point Raymond 👍🏻 thank you for checking out the shop and please keep coming back to visit 🔨🪚
Beautiful shop, I'm so impressed ❤
That looks more like a museum. Very nice!
I'm new to woodworking and you've inspired me. I am going to keep coming back to this video to see what you have and add it to my space. Thank you so much.
Good. We need more wood workers.
Beautiful Shop and Outstanding Craftsman
Thanks Charlie. I really appreciate you checking it out :)
Wow. Someone with more tools than I have.. Nicely done shop Greg. Of course the amount of detail in all the storage is pretty amazing. But the tooling you have for all the machines is pretty amazing. Most of us woodworkers, even professional, don't have as much storage or tooling as you have. Course most professionals are busy building product for clients and can't afford to do what you've been able to do. I enjoy my shops too, and having a great shop makes the jobs more fun. Hope you continue to have fun.
Thanks Paul. I really appreciate you checking out the shop... and your right. I was blessed to be able and build it throughout my firewood career. While most woodworkers never really get the time to put into there work space...👍🏻🪚
What a beautiful shop never seen anything so nice in all my life you and your dad should be very proud of it and I hope to watch a lot of your videos so keep up the good work and I will keep a fortune thank you for the shop door God bless
