Such and amazing space u created. Mind blowing u were able to afford this all from woodworking. I think Without TH-cam this wouldn’t b possible. Keep up the good work dude!
What a fantastic shop you have, there is so many space and after all your hard work everything is well organised and smart placed. So many tools, perfect light, it's a stunning place now and You may be really proud for that!
I added clear sight ports to my dust bcollector bins, in fact two ports allowing allow me to shine a flashlight in when checking on fill status so that I know when to change, your shop is well planned and one main feature in my opinion is how wide you have left all asiles/walkways this makes using the shop much more effective and pleasureable great job. Consider adding chiller to compressed air to keep air dry and oil free especially for paint spray and any cnc machines that need compressed air or if you use any air tools as this will extend their life.

The shop is looking fantastic, Johnny! Congrats! 😃 I just installed solar panels at home, this week! And I'm already loving it! 😂 You won't regret installing it! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Q: I noticed you have a few mini-splits there, have you had any issues with them clogging up? I see other folks that build filter boxes around them to keep the dust out.
Have you considered, for the time being, putting in some attic ventilation to reduce the blanket sitting up there. Congratulations on the excellent work.
My machine flow is set up amazingly similar to yours. I guess great minds think alike. Love your new shop and look forward to watching your future growth.
I would see about trying to rent one of those Chinese laser guns that remove rust, paint, and any other particles from metal. It would probably be able to knock out all of that rust in no time.
Seems to be the trend these days. All the popular woodworkers on TH-cam, buying big new shops, huge older commercial buildings, and even airplane hangers. That's great. And most earned it. But I can't see putting all your eggs in one basket. Your living is based on TH-cam agrithms, rules, and regulations . They control your destiny. Who knows if they will still be here in 5 years.
I considered it but all the options I looked at were insanely expensive considering the size of the shop and it would have been a real pain with all of my stuff already moved in.
I love that you have a fire cabinet! As a laboratory technician in a chemistry lab I really appreciate that! I love all of the attention that you paid to dust collection again, safety first! And I love that you have an exhaust fan in your soon to be paint area. Keep up the fantastic work!
Intresting love the new shop. suprised you didnt do a tour of the outside along with this. Did you not do a ton of work on the outside of this building as well? Grading, tree removal, gravel, and an awning? Cant wait to see projects going through this flow!!
Once you get your CnC running, I’d consider making some access panel templates, this way you can fish electric under your raised floor. The cords on the floor are always trip or “stop-short”hazards.
Last time I watched your shop video was over a year ago in my old office at a mortgage company, woodworking as my hobby. I was let go shortly after due to the recession and have been working a few part time jobs to pay the bills and selling some of my creations. I just started my official business a couple months ago and it's a brutal, rough start but I foresaw this. I'm hoping to reach a stage like this at some point whether it's five, ten or twenty years from now. I'm twenty-seven now and feel like I'm a newborn, a seedling in a large, unforgiving world. I hope to share my journey like you and hopefully inspire other's just the same!
Hey Johnny, You've done a great job with your new shop! For the rust on the CNC, I would try naval jelly first. That stuff works wonders at removing surface rust of off different metals.
Looking great! I understand about the upstairs renovation being held off due to high costs. How about the exterior, painting soon? Or are there special plans in the works? Regardless, thanks for sharing.
Mold spray tends to have bleach in it at least the ones I use have. It's a powerful oxidizer so coming in contact with metal it would quickly rust it. So as long as the shop isn't moist that rust should be very surface level, so a soak in something like Evaporust or vinegar, coke, etc should do the trick to remove the rust. Sanding if possible too or a wire wheel. Love how the shop has come out thus far!
The attic space is intense, if the joists installed up there are rated accordingly, this would be the place to put the office versus the 1st floor, opening up the 1st floor for more space to expand your business. What a cool space, so much work was done, really enjoyed the hyper finished area where you have your wall of tools hanging up, hopefully you can do that style throughout the rest of the shop in the future!
Great stuff! Love the new shop and following the renovation/build out. A couple of questions...1) Why didn't you do anything to the floor in the shop (epoxy, etc.)? 2) Do you plan to do anything to the exterior like paint? It's the neat freak/OCD in me!
Dude. Found you from your full length new workshop video. Watched all of it and love it!! One thing I am really impressed with is the quality of your voice over audio. I don't see any lapel mic so assuming you're using a cam mounted shotgun? What you using and how do you get rid of all the echoing from the shop so well?! Either way, killer shop and so lovely to have all that space! Edit: WAIT I see the lavalier mic pack!...still don't see the mic tho. I'm baffled.
Man, thats an awesome space. All the work you've done has really started to come together! Question though - when are you planning to give the exterior a good facelift? At a minimal a good sized 'Crafted' sign, right?
I have mold in my shop, mostly because the floor leaks and I have that almost fixed, what kind of mold spray did you use and would your recommend it? The reason water leaks up through the floor, besides cracks in the concrete, is because of poor irrigation. I've been working on it for the past 2 years, as I need heavy rains to test what I did, and it seems to be mostly controlled. We have the same problem in our basement but no mold. That's only in the shop. Thank you for this great shop tour. It gave me some ideas for my hobby woodworking shop. God bless.
To insulate your attic, buy some cheap luan door skins miscuts (or whatever you can find; 1/8th 3mm will work), throw them on top of the joists and tape them with regular duct tape, then blow atticat in there. Done to R40, 50, 60, whatever you want for a few grand.
If your looking for some wooden boards check your local printers as they'll probaly have lot as every new paper pallet has a wooden topper. I'm from the UK and I normally get 720mm by 640mm with most of the pallets.
The sanding belts on the drum sanders seem to be an issue with different brands as well. My son has a 36” Grizzley and he has the same issue. As for the wide belt sander he has a 36” wide which works well. But frankly he uses a stroke sander more than he uses the wide belt sander. it does require a more skilled operator however. He has recently upgraded that to an 8’ long model. Cabinets are his speciality, and he mostly builds the Euro model as opposed to the face frame model due the more competitive pricing. However that also requires an edgebanding machine.
I feel a strong need to inform you. Your desk has motors; motors are electrically driven. Engines use some form of thermal expansion to produce rotary work, examples are gasoline, propane, or steam.
@5:21 Oh...Oh!!....Oh!!! now do "Sphygmomanometer" That's the blood pressure cuff thingy! :) When I read it for the first time at my doctor's office, I must have spent 10 minutes just trying to figure out how to say it. LOL
I had to chuckle a bit to hear you saying you'd have to save for years to afford a $20k piece of equipment, when this shop setup would almost certainly cost well into the millions of dollars up here in Canada. Beautiful shop, but the $20k seems like it would be a drop in the bucket tbh
Yea, the total would cost that but I've built up to it over the years. Never spent anywhere close to that much on a single piece of equipment, it would be hard to justify for my work really.
You might want to consider a new air system rather than refurbishing the existing compressors and tanks. I would start with a rotary- screw compressor, refrigerated-filter, and a new tank. A system like this produce clean, dry air, quietly. Companies like Kaeser make systems that will meet your needs. I would also recommend a ring main supply system.
Hello Handyman Friend, As a professional firefighter and craftsman, I appreciate the measures you have taken for the chemical and hazardous products cabinet and also the ventilation system. For my chemical cabinet, it is stored in a single room with an automated self-extinguishing system and secure access, it's a bit like Fort Knox, but prevention is irrelevant. Bravo for your Workshop because well thought out and space to work there. Sincerely, Alain from Belgium.
You have a yellow piece of flat bar with bends in it, I’m guessing to put full sheet on table easier. I noticed a label. Could you share 1. If you like and 2 do you use it and what brand name AMD where you got I would not even know how to google it thanks
I would recommend letting your Kreg machine live on the far right side of your table saw surface. That's where I have mine and it's perfect. You will use it way more than you will ever be ripping anything that wide on your table saw. Love the space BTW!
Great workshop. I hope you have a fantastic security system installed to protect all your tools and the space. Of course don't show it on TH-cam or ...
Have loved the series and I have one very minor complaint... I would have liked to see a full sized picture of the outside now that it is finished (you have used one for the thumbnail).
I have used both manual adjust and cnc adjust wide belts in school. They are nice and handy but really only if it makes sense to have one. The machine requires a good compressor to tension the belt and a good dust extractor. I wouldn't be surprised it it required 3 phase power. I personally would spend the extra to get a model with a cnc control panel.
Looks amazing, and the lighting in the shop is such a day/night difference. Love seeing how this comes along! But I have to ask, big ass Crafted sign on the front of the shop when?? 😉
You should epoxy the concrete floor it would really make a difference in the way the shop looks as a whole. It looks pretty amazing but the floor really takes away from the work you have done.
Not if you are using the proper floor epoxy. You can put varying levels of grit on the floor when you finish it to keep it from being slippery. I say varying levels because of course the more gritty it is the harder it is to clean. Many professional mechanic shops have epoxy coatings on their floors especially those in dealerships. It keeps the shop looking nice and if the floor isn’t wet it shouldn’t be any more slippery than walking across say tile. I used to clean a dealership shop that had a floor like this the floor drains really made it a simple task but the floor properly maintained stayed looking very good no it wasn’t slippery in the slightest and it wasn’t that hard to clean. I didn’t use a normal mop we used the soak and squeegee method because the floor drains allowed for that. So I would not know if mopping would be a pain or not. But in a mostly wood shop it would be a very appropriate floor coating. I would have it professionally applied so it will last as well.
Such and amazing space u created. Mind blowing u were able to afford this all from woodworking. I think Without TH-cam this wouldn’t b possible. Keep up the good work dude!

Q: I noticed you have a few mini-splits there, have you had any issues with them clogging up? I see other folks that build filter boxes around them to keep the dust out.
"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them". They're right there, in Johnny's workshop.
Have you considered, for the time being, putting in some attic ventilation to reduce the blanket sitting up there. Congratulations on the excellent work.
@ 7:47 you should definitely do a pedalboard demo vid! 😅
Will you painting the floor?
This video was a lot of fun to watch. Quick question: Is the dust collected in the barrel recyclable at all, or does it go into the trash?
Looks great. Enjoyed the video series
My machine flow is set up amazingly similar to yours. I guess great minds think alike. Love your new shop and look forward to watching your future growth.
Cool workshop
I would see about trying to rent one of those Chinese laser guns that remove rust, paint, and any other particles from metal. It would probably be able to knock out all of that rust in no time.
It looks like you are masking all the badging on your Powermatic equipment.Just curious.
Have some sort of beef with Powermatic now? Only tools with the nameplates taped over and not mentioned
My man, you won the lottery.
It would look so cool if you painted the exterior and cleaned up the floor
The exterior will eventually get painted but I got quoted $6k to have it painted so holding off for the time being.
Just do the front to start. Less surface area to paint; biggest bang for your buck.
Seems to be the trend these days. All the popular woodworkers on TH-cam, buying big new shops, huge older commercial buildings, and even airplane hangers.
That's great. And most earned it. But I can't see putting all your eggs in one basket. Your living is based on TH-cam agrithms, rules, and regulations . They control your destiny. Who knows if they will still be here in 5 years.
Tried to order the beast base but it wouldnt allow me to stack your coupon code with the sale price.
You didn't do anything to the floor surface? Would have made a cleaner look.
I considered it but all the options I looked at were insanely expensive considering the size of the shop and it would have been a real pain with all of my stuff already moved in.
Has a shop to build a shop…
You don’t need a wide belt sander, you don’t build anything anymore so it’s a waste of money.
mean
Did you wait 20 years to buy all this very expensive equipment. ??
I think you speak too fast, hard to keep up with everything you want to say, otherwise you have built a nice workshop.
Honestly kind of underwhelming
I love that you have a fire cabinet! As a laboratory technician in a chemistry lab I really appreciate that! I love all of the attention that you paid to dust collection again, safety first! And I love that you have an exhaust fan in your soon to be paint area. Keep up the fantastic work!
The exhaust fans were from a previous tenants indoor horticulture hobby lol
I have to be honest. The thing I hate most about your shop, is that it’s not mine!
Wow, amazing on the work you did, it look great before, now it looks even better. Keep up that hard work.
Thanks Alex!
Intresting love the new shop. suprised you didnt do a tour of the outside along with this. Did you not do a ton of work on the outside of this building as well? Grading, tree removal, gravel, and an awning? Cant wait to see projects going through this flow!!

Instead of a beast counter you should have a counter for every time you do that "hhcccckkk" non-chuckle.
Hey Johnny, You've done a great job with your new shop! For the rust on the CNC, I would try naval jelly first. That stuff works wonders at removing surface rust of off different metals.
How many 10mm sockets you got spare in that Craftsmen tool chest?
Great shop tour! Well done!
When or are you going to paint the exterior of your building?
Looking great! I understand about the upstairs renovation being held off due to high costs. How about the exterior, painting soon? Or are there special plans in the works?

Awesome! Have you thought about giving the outside a few coats of paint? Or are you planning to replace/upgrade the siding in the future?
Love this series!!! More!!
Are you going to paint the outside?
3:15 for the excess plywood leaning against the rack: consider isolating the plywood from the concrete so that it doesn't absorb ground moisture.
if you actually watch the video, you would know his plan with the plywood. you just want to sound smart.
The shop is looking great... But that hoonicorn wallpaper on the windows machine... KB43 forever!!
One Piece, nice.
Just an idea, for the front of the building! Why not have your logo blown up in size and placed out front! ??
Love your workshop….I wish I have a space like yours….well planned….
Thank you!
Awesome workshop! Flow seems great! That festools boom arm is so cool!
Great stuff! Love the new shop and following the renovation/build out. A couple of questions...1) Why didn't you do anything to the floor in the shop (epoxy, etc.)? 2) Do you plan to do anything to the exterior like paint? It's the neat freak/OCD in me!
Nice, but... Are we ever going to see anything produced in there??
@craftedworkshop..
Great! Looking forward to it.
Furniture build or like the tiny house as next steps?

Paint that piece of plywood above the dust collector closet

I have a bad case of shop envy... love your posts ...
Try Crud Cutter on the rust... it's does an amazing job of making rust disappear
If your looking for some wooden boards check your local printers as they'll probaly have lot as every new paper pallet has a wooden topper. I'm from the UK and I normally get 720mm by 640mm with most of the pallets.
Superb woodworking shop. Thank you Johnny.With FlexiSpot, you'll have a stable standing desk！
The sanding belts on the drum sanders seem to be an issue with different brands as well.
My son has a 36” Grizzley and he has the same issue.

You should really think about coming up with a couple of different adjectives to describe your tools. Surely everything can’t be a total beast, no?
Should build a sheets good rack. In theatrical shops in movie industry. We build them vertically
Anti-mold products typically contain acetic acid. If it gets on ferrous metals, you want to neutralize it with baking soda before you wipe it clean.
Ever consider painting the outside? Put your brand on there aswell? I know its probably not a priority for you.
I feel a strong need to inform you. Your desk has motors; motors are electrically driven. Engines use some form of thermal expansion to produce rotary work, examples are gasoline, propane, or steam.
Rust on equipment.
If you can pull some of those rails off, set up a dunk tank for Evap-O-Rust.
Spray the underside of roof with just 1 or 2 inches of closed cell to seal the roof. Then add thermofiber to get your r-value. Same with the walls.
Fantastic shop set up Johnny! My small shop space would fit in there about 40 times!
1. That Flexispot looks like...a beast.
2. Did I see a little jail in your office?
Awesome workshop! Flow seems great! That festools boom arm is so cool!. Incredible shop! Congrats on the upgrade!.
one piece fans 😉
I dream of such a beautiful and spacious workshop! I want to work when there is order and everything is clearly arranged)
Why did you build the "studio"/woodworking area on a platform?
Awsome space! My dream shop right now is just a shop 😅
when the sander cost as much as the renovations. Yikes.
Perhaps you can find a old second hand one on the market somewhere. Keep an eye out!
R.I.P ken block...
About your dust collector closet, wouldn't applying some egg trays on the door would lower the noise a little more?
Im glad those workers were wearing hair nets, I wouldn't want hair in my paviers.
I wonder how much it costs to maintain all this machinery, and how often it needs maintenance. I wish i had all these machines
why do people always keep flammable stuff next to the electric panel
Why are all the Powermatic signs covered. I did see the one on the mortiser tho 😅
@5:21 Oh...Oh!!....Oh!!! now do "Sphygmomanometer" That's the blood pressure cuff thingy! :) When I read it for the first time at my doctor's office, I must have spent 10 minutes just trying to figure out how to say it. LOL
Been thinking of doing a closet for my extractor, REALLY keen to see a video on it's affect on it

Hello Handyman Friend,
As a professional firefighter and craftsman, I appreciate the measures you have taken for the chemical and hazardous products cabinet and also the ventilation system.
For my chemical cabinet, it is stored in a single room with an automated self-extinguishing system and secure access, it's a bit like Fort Knox, but prevention is irrelevant.
Bravo for your Workshop because well thought out and space to work there.
Sincerely, Alain from Belgium.
use som diesel for the rust on your cnc .its work
Tell Powermatic “WOODWORK CLAN AIN’T NOTHIN TO F*CK WIT!” - as always grateful for the content, plans, etc. ✊🏾
You have a yellow piece of flat bar with bends in it, I’m guessing to put full sheet on table easier. I noticed a label. Could you share 1. If you like and 2 do you use it and what brand name AMD where you got I would not even know how to google it thanks
That front façade needs a sign/name! Start building the brand early (similar to what April Wilkerson did).
I would recommend letting your Kreg machine live on the far right side of your table saw surface. That's where I have mine and it's perfect. You will use it way more than you will ever be ripping anything that wide on your table saw. Love the space BTW!
God almighty, you've got so much *stuff*! Crazy you've been able to accumulate that much stuff at your age!
Great workshop. I hope you have a fantastic security system installed to protect all your tools and the space. Of course don't show it on TH-cam or ...

Can’t wait until you get back to wood working I always loved your ideas or work
Very soon! Working on the first project, a workbench for the lift top table, right now!
@@craftedworkshop awesome can’t wait!
