You should do another tool list of everything you have. Stuff you use daily, stuff you thought you’d use and never do. Been awhile since we seen one of those videos
@@kaleblevi44 I do need to do that. I don’t know if I could make it on here. But there’s a lot of tools I thought I would use and never do. And vice versa. Maybe I’ll do one on here. Would be nice to do a video that takes a day or two to film vs 5-7 days. Lol
@@TaylordriftsI’d like to see it. I’m an HVAC tech and appreciate the tools. I’ve reduced my tools dramatically over the years. I can fix 99% of everything with a tiny tool pouch. Not necessarily the best tools for the job but quality multi purpose tools because I need to carry them everywhere. Weight reduction was key. Different for a shop setup but still purpose built tool list.
You could run the speaker wires through the peg board holes in the lower corners. That would hide them well. Even if you had to drill one hole in each lower corner if the wires were a little to big you wouldn’t ever need to use them lower corner holes anyway. Love the shop updates it’s a dream shop for sure. Keep down what you’re doing
Shop upgrade vids are LIT! The day we transition from shop upgrades to first big build, and seeing the shop upgrades in action, is going to be a banger!
As a retired mechanic that visited the Snap-On and Mac tool trucks every week for years, I appreciate your comments and respect for quality tool boxes. I still own my Snap-On boxes - bottom, middle and top at nearly 6 feet tall. All the drawers are full of Metric and Imperial tools, many duplicate and triples which were necessary in the flat rate mechanic world. Love your tool room on wheels (new box) hate the green.
Super impressed at how far the shop has come. What a great layout! You should add a tray above the pack-out boxes on your fab table so you don't fill them with metal shavings and can catch them all.
I don't really like your drifting videos, but I absolutely love your shop, car builds and everything else! The new GIGANTIC toolbox is BAD ASS! THE SHOP IS LOOKING GREAT.
Big same, been enjoying the lawn, shop upgrades and car building than the drifting because everyone does drifting videos so it’s boring to me to watch.
I don't really care for raw audio/in car footage. But to follow a car build then get to see the pay off in the form of a out of car montage to good music is always great
For the pliers drawer: I'm not sure if you've got the depth in that specific drawer, but I have a rack for my pliers that holds them on their side rather than flat. It's a much more efficient use of the full drawer volume and you can fit like 3x more pliers in the same space.
I looked up the weight of the 72” icon just cause I was curious. It’s 1000lbs. The box he was undloading could have been close to 2000lbs. That was a really bad idea thinking he could control it
I feel you should just make the side with your compressor your wiring and hose building spot. That will allow you to buy more tools for crimping, etc, and build a small table. That also would allow you to reuse them toolboxes like you are currently trying to do and the packout boxes. That would be my two sense of making use of that area while keeping that hangout area still available.
Also consider building a partition in your fab area so you’re not shooting grinder sparks at whatever car is parked there. Oh and get that compressor under the lean to you’ll have so much more room over there!
I love the shop build videos. As someone who has their own metal building garage, it gives me insight on things i can do next. I know some may complain about just wanting car videos but honestly i stuck around moreso for your builds, your tools and seeing you solve problems whether thats on a car or in the shop. Keep doing what you love man! Cars, shop, live vids, its all been really enjoyable.
Just a thought, big brass pole from floor to roof just off the storage side of the loft. Could make getting down much quicker than having to go all the way back to the stairs. Firehouse vibes 👌🏼
I am so happy you actually got a professional tool truck box, I’m actually a snap on dealer! and I’m still happy to see you’ve realized how much better a quality tool box is over hobo freight or even milwaukee… the drawers can take so much weight and most of it is warrantied for life… that box will last you a lifetime! congrats broski
One thing that's really helped me with shop organizing is watching Adam savages "shop organizing" videos. The little tips and tricks have saved me so much space time and energy.
Definitely should have put the stacker in the left corner so its a straight shot from the left bay door. Then have 1 big loft and you have the rear rollup door to have a "hybrid" fab area for the noise and welding gas to stay out of the shop more. Im sure it would feel more open that way
Having a large covered work space definitely could've been cool. He talked about having a primary and secondary toolbox meant one became forgotten and definitely feels like there's the potential for that to happen with the loft bays
Picturing this in my head actually sounds soo good. You could use a curtain made of welding shield plastic underneath the loft for keeping smoke/sparks/dust contained under the loft for fab projects. You'd have clear access to the rear door with out having clearance issues on with the stacker. You'd have an open spacious loft you can build isles in one spot, then the rest for hanging. Fab tools and bench under the loft, and mechanic tools in the big chest out in the main shop by the hoists
Matco hands down makes the best tool boxes period. You can literally open the top drawer all the way, stand in it, and it WILL NOT tip over. That's a 🔥 colorway too!
When I started wrenching back in 85ish I started with craftsman and it did the job for a while. As I went on I outgrew the box and needed something bigger but snap-on/mac was out of my price range so I just kept packing it. In 93-ish I was able to afford a snap-on box,I still have it,its a Harely 90th anniversary box. I was able to sell my craftsman box to a younger guy just starting. In 2000 I bought a bank and a half top/bottem box for for 2500,the top box was new and the bottom was lightly used. Like you said, you can tell the difference between a tool truck box and EVERY OTHER brand. I used the box everyday so investing in a quality box was a no brainer.
Watched you for years man and its so cool to see you upgrading literally everything i remember the videos in the shared shop of you fixing the ls miata ,now your balling with a nice truck really nice trailer own house and shop and a handful of toys i remember when it was just the ls Miata and 3rd gen cummins and sharing a shop and house awesome to see the success
This has got to be in the top 10 best "hobby shops" in existence. Not one square foot is wasted. The layout is incredible. And having R2 just brings it all together, among other things. 😂. Now you just need to get that welding screen up, so you dont roach whatever car is on the bottom with welding slag, and get that compressor outside so you can work in peace, lol. Anywho, Love the videos, man. Keep em coming!
One idea for additional storage that is often overlooked in hutches; magnets. For a box that is almost always stationary, you can put magnets on the back side of the door and put your most used wrenches, ratchets, pliers, etc hanging under the door, but still shallow and out of the way of reaching to the back.
Your first high end tool box has a special meaning. No matter how hard you want to hate theme once you own one your mind has been forever changed. I utilize SnapOn tool boxes and Matco Service Carts. I also have a Mac tool chest.
Incredible work on the shop. The wooden table heading out the door shows just how far you have come since you moved to this house. What would be cool to see is some dedicated movable racking where you can put all the parts needed for a build so that they are accessible when you need them but tucked away when you don’t.
You should make the railings for the loft like a stake body truck. So they protect you when you’re up there not trying to lift stuff up and down. But when you need to you can simply lift it out of its holders and put it aside while you put your objects up there. Then slide it back in the slot when your done
I like this series. It has inspired me to clean out and organize my garage. Having the shop organized will help so much for future builds. The color combo just makes me think of lotus. Maybe you could find one for a project in the future.
Looks absolutely incredible! Dream garage for sure! It's to the point now where it really couldn't be setup any better to take on any massively extensive automotive/mechanical project. Ready to build some cool sh*t! 💯🔥
@@spinpop01 it should! Which will be nice for playing the sim because it gets hot when playing because the computer. Screen. Motion rig. Wheelbase. Plus you’re basically driving. So ideally we can crank it to icy up there for that.
Hey Taylor, I can tell you from experience the placement under the minisplit won’t work. I manage properties for a living and I have tried several times to put large pieces under minisplits. It freaks out the steep sensors and will make it not short cycle.
Garage is going to be awesome! The changes you made with the toolbox situation, and rearranging the main floor is going to be huge for your quality of life!
Bought a matco triple bay from the matco guy almost 10 years ago when I was a tech at a dealer, best purchase I ever made. It’s a hassle to move on the rare occasion I have to move it, but damn is it so nice to have a gigantic box
Nice box and upgrades Taylor! The locking drawer on the Matco is used by a lot of techs at shops. Keep paperwork, and anything else sensitive in there without locking the whole box. Looks like you could remove the lid if you don't mind doing light damage to the box. Also, you probably want to avoid lowering the box as youll probably find yourself hitting your head on the hutch or having to bend down to grab stuff from the pegboard.
Happy to see you get yourself a nice box. Last year I upgrade my home shop box to a Snap On 68” Epiq. Honestly love it and will last a lifetime. A nice box is a nice upgrade for that perfect shop.
Just a suggestion. Some type of wall between the welding work corner and the cars on the lift. Just too protect the cars and keep them clean. Maybe even just a welding screen.
The right side of the loft needs a door to a outdoor deck. Pour a nice stamped concrete patio outside below it. Then have regular steps that go up along the side of the shop to it. So if your standing at the side entrance door just about 5 feet to your right you have steps upto the deck. You could so some outdoor storage cabinets below the steps. You then have a covered shaded lowered patio and nice deck above overlooking your house and your property. Then you also have walking access to the lofts from outside. Just make the deck on the outside the same length of the loft on the inside. That'd be so cool and you'd have an outdoor chill spot on both levels aswell as loft access without going inside the shop. If you needed to carry a box or something to the loft you don't have to use R2 or walk the spiral stairs and use the bridge. I'd hang those string lights where each looks like a mini later under the the deck to light up the lower patio. Have a litte outdoor tiki bar chill area on the lower patio Then the upper deck off the loft just have a chill deck with maybe a small grill and some outdoor table and chairs with an umbrella. I just think that'd be a cool easy addition that has multiple benefits and ads some optional access points. Another idea would be removing the rear covered storage roof and building a elevated deck in its place. Then build a new roof that matches the roofline of the shop. Then frame that deck in and make a room with doorways at the back of each loft into it. Then if you don't want to use the bridge just walk into that room and loop around to the other loft. Then you have that entire back room for whatever. It's 30ft wide by however deep your covered storage is.
i love when these other channels try to say that the tool truck boxes are comparable to box store brands. the truth of the matter is there is no comparison. depth, thickness, width, quality of unfortunately price as well, but you get what you pay for. second hand tool truck boxes are the way to go , nice purchase
I don't love the green cabinet in with all the red, but I fully understand how it is when buying used. Having ALL the choices is part of what you're paying the big bucks for when you buy new. The important part is that it looks like it will work well for you👍
What a surprisingly wonderful informative relaxing video. Your selected subjective content conjures ideas flooding my brain. Now motivating myself as you were is another story!
Your content is always interesting no matter what the project may be…I am so proud of how far you’ve come since I started watching your videos years ago…Personally I couldn’t care less about what project you’re tackling next…watching your progression is always satisfying no matter if it’s car/shop/home/yard/trailer/bus/truck…you always inspire me in my own projects Taylor…Thanks!
I feel like moving the old box against the loft wall and putting the chairs by the lift would flow better and you’d also be able to see the tv from the chairs aswell as give yourself a nice backdrop for future sim streams/podcasts stuff like that. While still being useable space but also good hangout vibes. Much love always bossman! New box is rad!
I think you did a good job organizing everything to keep that open feel in the shop. It’s amazing how quickly a large shop can feel cluttered if all those small details are over looked.
That Green and gold box with the milwaukee red makes it look like christmas! 😂 but it's so satisfying to have it all organized I'm sure. the best thing is having enough space for all your tools, and its so annoying when they're stopping drawers from opening or getting in the way of other tools.
Every bit of free top surface space ends up becoming a shelf. When i have a shop floor desk for programming machines....if I'm gone for one day it's covered in cables, bolts, zip ties, you name it...😂
I’m currently making a full Gridfinity set for my 56” us general top and bottom boxes. I hate all the off the shelf tool organizers. It’s going to take forever, but won’t cost much and is flexible. It’s also satiating my drive to tinker, and helping me grow my cad and 3d printing skills.
The top hutch as you call it is actually called over head storage . I got one for my 6S matco tool box and hutch also have a side lockers and I have run out of room in it that’s why I have 2 large tool carts. Collect a lot of tool over the past 30 years in the medium duty truck/automotive industries
On the one hand... I'm happy/excited for all the new stuff. The shop is INCREDIBLE!!! You've done a GREAT job getting to where you are. I know it was a LOT of hard work. On the other hand... I miss the days in the single car garage with the camera propped up in the top of the old toolbox. You've come a LONG way since then and you have a lot to be proud of. Love the videos! What's the plan for the bus??? I thought for sure we'd be seeing a lot more action in that thing.
Mount your independent socket rails to a metal place. I used 16g and put screws up from the bottom. You can now stand every rail up. And won’t have to hold the rail to pull a socket off. Way better than free standing or having some lay down.

1 heavily under rated shop upgrade people often look over. Anti fatigue mats, your joints and older you will thank you.
I’ve considered covering my entire floor in gym mats but I only have 500sq ft so it almost reasonable
Got a commercial kitchen non slip anti fatigue mat in front of my toolbox at work. I love it
tractor supply horse stall mats work much better, things can actually roll on them, they dont slide on you, and drainage underneath

Yep, Ernst plier holders are the best way to go if you've got the drawer depth.
This! They also make screwdriver organizers of similar style as well
Also tends to make them easier to grab in a manner that you're actually going to use them

Toolbox is sweet! These kind of videos of yours are my favorite to watch. Your way of organization has inspired me to do similar in my own garage.👍

of unfortunately price as well, but you get what you pay for. second hand tool truck boxes are the way to go , nice purchase
That toolbox is Baller. I love the color combo!
Nice to see the shop come together finally! Nice work, hope it works out like you plan!!
First day going sober and no more weed and taylor drops an hour long episode! Thank you sir 😂
I don't love the green cabinet in with all the red, but I fully understand how it is when buying used. Having ALL the choices is part of what you're paying the big bucks for when you buy new. The important part is that it looks like it will work well for you👍
Love flipping the bench top over! Thanks for your videos!
big beautiful shop deserves a big beautiful sound system.
I really enjoy and could watch the shop upgrades for another year or two. Though, the shop upgrades will make the car builds so much better.
What a surprisingly wonderful informative relaxing video. Your selected subjective content conjures ideas flooding my brain. Now motivating myself as you were is another story!
Your content is always interesting no matter what the project may be…I am so proud of how far you’ve come since I started watching your videos years ago…Personally I couldn’t care less about what project you’re tackling next…watching your progression is always satisfying no matter if it’s car/shop/home/yard/trailer/bus/truck…you always inspire me in my own projects Taylor…Thanks!
man that box is HIDEOUS! probably got a smokin deal on it tho.
Great color combo!! Love organizing them on rainy days.
I feel like moving the old box against the loft wall and putting the chairs by the lift would flow better and you’d also be able to see the tv from the chairs aswell as give yourself a nice backdrop for future sim streams/podcasts stuff like that. While still being useable space but also good hangout vibes. Much love always bossman! New box is rad!
That was things a monster!!! And the color combo 🔥
Such a fire box honestly looks great with all the red really pops
I think you did a good job organizing everything to keep that open feel in the shop. It’s amazing how quickly a large shop can feel cluttered if all those small details are over looked.
Pro tip - run the speaker wire behind the toolbox. Plenty of holes to feed it through 😊
That Green and gold box with the milwaukee red makes it look like christmas! 😂 but it's so satisfying to have it all organized I'm sure. the best thing is having enough space for all your tools, and its so annoying when they're stopping drawers from opening or getting in the way of other tools.
Love the new box! Beautiful color combo
Your garage is a dream. You’ve given me some ideas for my own.
Every bit of free top surface space ends up becoming a shelf. When i have a shop floor desk for programming machines....if I'm gone for one day it's covered in cables, bolts, zip ties, you name it...😂
Such a good workshop. Really like what your doing
I’m currently making a full Gridfinity set for my 56” us general top and bottom boxes. I hate all the off the shelf tool organizers. It’s going to take forever, but won’t cost much and is flexible. It’s also satiating my drive to tinker, and helping me grow my cad and 3d printing skills.
A levrack would be so good in this shop. Super clean looking convenient storage solution.
This Video was so fkng Cool. Love the Shop updates. That box is next level. Shop is next level.
Love , shop stuff and organization, it's really great!
The top hutch as you call it is actually called over head storage . I got one for my 6S matco tool box and hutch also have a side lockers and I have run out of room in it that’s why I have 2 large tool carts. Collect a lot of tool over the past 30 years in the medium duty truck/automotive industries
On the one hand... I'm happy/excited for all the new stuff. The shop is INCREDIBLE!!! You've done a GREAT job getting to where you are. I know it was a LOT of hard work. On the other hand... I miss the days in the single car garage with the camera propped up in the top of the old toolbox. You've come a LONG way since then and you have a lot to be proud of. Love the videos! What's the plan for the bus??? I thought for sure we'd be seeing a lot more action in that thing.
The green and gold is very... art deco. I dig it.
That color combo matches my garage floor. 😮 Cool find.
I like that color combo, the green and gold kinda look like a lowrider car
Your shop is really coming together nicely nice job man love all the vids
Such a bad ass tool box awsome. CONGRATULATIONS moving up ..
Mount your independent socket rails to a metal place. I used 16g and put screws up from the bottom. You can now stand every rail up. And won’t have to hold the rail to pull a socket off. Way better than free standing or having some lay down.
Love it great job, can't wait for the next video bro.👌👍
Damn bro that box is YUGE! Love me some shop reorg and optimization! I think you sold me on the Milwaukee box for my current shop
