I keep coming back to this video because the production value is so much more complex than most will probably notice. The custom graphics, the subtle red light accenting "problem" areas, the physical projector, the film grain filters... Oof, bravo Dave 👏
I am geeking out in total admiration at the negative space in the paint where it would appear a label had been removed. some people use words to tell a story, others just plant the seed and let the viewer write their own.
LOVE that you figured that out. I thought I had made a mistake by not peeling off the stickers. (You can see me trying to remove one up in a shot before I paint them.) then I was annoyed that I didn’t pay attention and put the sticker spots on the back side of things. Then, lo and behold, it looked fabulous to have these little cubes of exposed plywood. Mistakes are often the best bits if you play it right.
Can't get over the fact that you got the fit on those shelves so good that you had to hammer them in. That's some mighty impressive precision work there sir!
This has been a common comments theme, and I’ll admit to you what I’ve admitted to others, that when you’re both the builder and film editor, you can cut out the moments when the tolerances were a complete disaster.
I don't know why youtube suggested this to me, but I am thankful that it did. Your channel is a rare gem of which I've not seen in quite a minute. Absolutely love your studio work in this, and love your editing style! Production seems top notch in everything you do! Definitely subbed.
Awesome work! I thought the curve detail you chose for the shelf supports and continued with the drawer handle cutouts looks great. It’s fun to see what kind of themes like that you choose for builds :) Big fan of bricolage and seeing the makers marks, like with painting before cutting/sanding. I reckon you’ll enjoy working there even more now!
I often imagine people, perhaps my own grandchildren, wandering into this crazy room after I’m gone and deciding what on earth to do with my stuff. At least it will be organized into labeled boxes.
THANK YOU! All caps. The nonconformist in me resists adopting typical TH-cam structures, but subscribers are good things to have, and by all accounts, pointing that out helps.
I love the tinny, catchy music that fits the vibe of your whole channel. I fee like I should burst out into, "let's all go to the lobby and and get ourselves a snack!" Love the tetris storage and the distressing. It all fits right in.
Great work! The before and after shot is awesome! It’s amazing what a little bit, or a lot in this case, of organization can do for a space. I’m definitely going to steal some of your ideas and aesthetics and implement them into my own shop.
so much character and passion oozing from this video, I am so confused on why this channel is so small... please make more videos and keeping doing you! its only a matter of time before you blow up I swear
Luckily, I'm not in this for clicks and dollars, though views would admittedly be nice. I've found great value in diversifying the spaces in which I work. I've had one foot in physical and one in digital for a long time. Putting a third foot in the cinematic space has done absolute wonders for the daily slog. (Slog is the word of the day.)
@@cinodromeIn the middle of my own upgrade and looking to do something similar for my own garage space to have a breakaway piece with a "cleat" similar to what you did there at 40seconds. Thinking through the options, but what did you use for the metal/materials to attach to the main workbench and your rolling bench?
@@the_bjd It's remarkably simple. Probably too simple considering the fact that if the island table were to move unexpectedly, the bridge section would fall to the floor. The bridge just site on two 3/4" shelf strips. A version of French cleats would be a better way to go so that the bridge section slots in and locks everything in place. (For the hundredth time, I wish images could be attached to TH-cam comments so that I could sketch what I'm thinking...)
Sigh. As others have said, SO MANY deeply satisfying moments in this one. Watching you layer the orange paint, throw the magician’s white cloth over the table, slide some of the implements into spaces perfectly designed to hold them, I could go on…. Sends a very pleasant shiver up the spine! Need to ask you where you find the music, which I adore. Also, somehow the gorgeous backdrop to the deck looked almost like a fairytale - the moss, trees, etc. Pretty magical in person, and differently magical seen here. Thanks for the opportunity to observe such careful attention being paid. Watching an artisan do their work while also creating more art by filming their work is a really unusual pleasure!
This is my third time watching this. I love what you do and I will be using some of these ideas in my upcoming shop re org. The orange naming strips is an beautiful touch
I usually dont like curated aging and vintage look, but you did it so well that I cant hate it! you are doing it to sell any agenda, I can tell that you do it because you love the look and you will appreciate the space way more, when you add your touches of detail. you inspire me to critique my storage methods and put more love into it!!
The secret, in this case, is that I had no idea I was aging anything. Things simply needed sanding and I liked the marks the routine made. It's crucial to allowing materials to talk back to you in the process. All tools and materials give back, even digital ones. Maintaining a healthy balance of control and serendipity is at the heart of the dance.
@@cinodrome that is soooo awesome. I cant wait to be able to do the things you do, im only 18 and I want to do the crazy and awesome things you do, some day i will. you are an inspiration
This came up randomly after watching an Adam Savage video. All I can say is wow, excellent job and nice production quality and color grading. Too few people put the work into to make their content stand out. I’m a huge fan of photographer Dan Winters and this video is stylistically very similar.
That cardboard organizer at 5:14 - would love a video about making one. I'm sure there will be some tips and tricks I'd be able to pick up! I think I can now rather immediately see if space has been designed for the stuff it contains, which is not what most people can do... Great topic and motivator for "making stuff in meatspace". Nothing ever will beat "custom made". As usual, thank you for inspiration!
I don’t mind! I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time looking for a work jacket with the right combination of cut, heft, and pocket placement. This one is by Imogene and Willie and I think it’s a winner. Time will tell. The pants are Samurai and I’m on my third pair.
@@cinodrome I am thinking something with that form factor but as my desks are in my living space I will most likely get something along the lines of storage cube or a mini book shelf.
Hi Dave. As a new fan of your channel, I just have to say wow! I love the style you put into your videos, especially the graphics! Is the text that says "table saw on the deck" hand painted? Also, those shelves are really nice! If I have a workshop, I would love to have some custom storage like that. Lastly, I'm wondering, where does that name of your channel come from? I can only find that a "Cynodrome" is a dog racing track.
Hi Parker. Happy to have you along for the ride. All my graphics are assembled from found, typically old, print material. The font for the table saw graphic is built from a hand painted sign I photographed. The studio name? I chased it for a long time. I wanted something evocative of mid-century film studios. I’ve always been a fan of the word Hippodrome…add “Cina” for cinema, but make it Cino because the name turned out to be completely unique and was available on all platforms including cinodrome.com…and there you have it.
The three tool suitcases, the ones with the Fein Multitool: Dont lay them flat on each other. Cant you store them upright, side by side in a row and have on top a bit space for a drawer? Great video! I took a few screen shoot for workshop organization. How long do you edit such a 10 min Video?
That would have been the way to go, but the space is only 13 inches deep. Flat and sideways was the only orientation option. Editing is a significant time commitment, and I used to consider it a problem that I spend as much time editing as building. I've come to realize that I take equal satisfaction from film making and I've chosen to lean into it. There's no chance I would continue this process if I didn't love it.

HATE wasted space so this hit in so many spots of squeeeee... or whatever the kids say these days. ...and yes my brain groaned a bit on paneling over the kickplate/empty space at floor. Gotta be able to have those panels hinge up and shove something in there. Maybe those short but long-wide under bed tubs... with stuff you only need once a year. Hmm... LOL

Kind of you - glad to have you on board!
Interesting to pre-paint the plywood sheets so you get an automatic aged effect after construction and sanding.
Standard issue Tom Sachs technique.
And I have learnt a thing. Everything is so simple _after_ you understand it.
They were all such a satisfying fit, then topped off with an equally satisfying glue finger peel!
Someone made it to the glue peel! Congratulations.
Awesome work! I thought the curve detail you chose for the shelf supports and continued with the drawer handle cutouts looks great.

Thanks! Someone recently pointed out after that I work a quarter round into just about every project, which is likely true.
I’m a big fan of your aesthetic, Dave. Thanks for sharing your work with us. And major props on the perfect tolerances on those shelves.
Thank you! (The tolerances might not be as perfect as careful video editing suggests. Maybe.)
Love it reminds me of my grandfather’s old shop. The orange labeling strip was a really nice touch.
I often imagine people, perhaps my own grandchildren, wandering into this crazy room after I’m gone and deciding what on earth to do with my stuff. At least it will be organized into labeled boxes.
As a guy who loves weathering and aging, I loved the aesthetic of this whole upgrade!
Thanks much!
A moment of appreciation for the Like and Subscribe projector
THANK YOU! All caps. The nonconformist in me resists adopting typical TH-cam structures, but subscribers are good things to have, and by all accounts, pointing that out helps.
Fantastic video as usual! I really loved the orange label accents on the drawers. Really need to do some stuff like this in my new space! Cheers.
Thanks so much!
A huge level of respect for every cubic millimeter used efficiently in your small space. Consider my cap well and truly doff'd in your direction, Sir!
Thank you Phil!

0:40 cool idea to have a flexible workbench with the cleats and the rolling section
That was done specifically to create the space for a reasonably sized volume when I’m working in VR. As I say, a lot needs to happen in a small space.

Neutrals with a red/orange accent is always a safe move. (Color design isn't one of my strengths.)

Those are some tight tolerances. ❤
Too tight on occasion. I edited around the violent hammering.

Absolutely beautiful! You are such a master maker.

Good to hear. Thanks for stopping by.
Nice and now I am trying figure out how to get more shelf space under some desks.
I was telling my son about milk crates today. He wasn’t aware…are they still a thing?
@@cinodrome I am thinking something with that form factor but as my desks are in my living space I will most likely get something along the lines of storage cube or a mini book shelf.
I really enjoy the background music. What is it?
I'd love to make it part of a playlist to put on while I work.
The music in all my films aren’t “real” music, per se, but tracks from either Adobe Stock or the TH-cam stock music library.
VERY pretty.
Thanks!
