Some of you have asked about my space, so here it is! I hope you find my little shed interesting, I've put a lot of time into making it a nice place to work in and I'm very happy with it so far.

We build high-end custom guitars right here in Ireland, with a focus using Irish woods. Ireland is a land of history and custom, and we are no different here at Awen Lutherie. Our guitars are built by hand, from the heart and with love in every shaving.
If you like what we are doing here, please like this video and subscribe to our channel. This is another of hopefully many more videos, cataloging our journey forward into the world, and we hope that you might share this journey with us!
Thank You for being a part of this.
The best part of your shop is how much joy it obviously gives you. I feel the same way about my own "little slice of heaven". Thank you for inviting me into your happy place. I enjoyed it.
I enjoy how every woodworker seems to have that one tool family they love, like your saws, and Ben Crowes planes. I like small hammers
Yeah it's funny, we all seem to have soft spots like that. I love planes too, but saws have that special place, maybe because I don't use them very much.
Hey Sean, thanks for the tour. hoping to see you in GGBO 2021. Take care!
Thanks for dropping by! I'm hoping to take part this year alright, if I can
@@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars Looking forward to it. I loved the Les Paul you built, I think you should have won!
Thanks Sean, always fun to see other folks shops. You've packed a lot into a small space.
I love seeing shop tours as well! Sometimes I feel like my shop is packed tight, but I can already see new ways in my head to fit even more in!
Very efficient layout and storage system. Thanks for walking us through.
Thanks for watching! I've spent a lot of time refining it best I can in a small space.
Hello Seán and thank you to all of the good folks involved with making your videos possible. I truly appreciate all of the helpful information that you are sharing with the world. I am hoping that you may have a moment to answer how you use a biscuit jointer in your workshop. You had mentioned that you were surprised at how it became part of your toolset.
So the biscuit joiner isn't too much use in terms of guitar building, but I use it to reinforce the joints on the guitars stands that I build. I sometimes use it to align wings on a neck through, though.
Love a good workshop tour. Yours looks like a well thought out space & somewhere you must love to spend time in.
Possibly 2 years too late but with your workbench, why not grab a sheet of plywood & raise the height by making a torsion box to sit on top of the existing one? Quick, easy & sturdy. Will save your back :) You could raise the height to the desired level simply by cutting the sides & cross supports to however many inches. Join it all with dowels & glue &/or pocket hole screws if you have a jig. Could be built in a few hours.
I spent plenty of time getting that workshop right, and I loved it!
Raising the workbench wouldn't have been a bad idea at all. I had always planned on building a "real" workbench at some stage, as that one was really just a 2x4 and ply job knocked together.
I'm finally getting to making that "real" bench now though, even if I'm not in that workshop anymore.
Welcome Back! Good to see you again
Thank you! I got a bit hectic in the run up to Christmas, but I'm hoping to get back in gear now.
A delightful space, thanks for the tour! Looking forward to your next guitar build 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm working on the next series now
Great workshop setup. Really interesting to see around it. thanks for sharing
Very similar to the layout of my workshop. The latest thing I have done to combat dust is to replace the bag on my chip/dust collector with a cartridge filter, made a massive difference!
Great minds think alike!
I'll have to remember the cartridge filter idea, I'm always trying to keep the dust down when I can
This stuff massively appeals to the nosy fecker in me. Just setting up my own wee shed at the minute, maybe half the size of yours, but still getting some ideas. I know you're over in Crimson at the minute but it's still cool to see your setup.
Very nice, I love the space, I work out of my basement But we will be moving in a few months & The first most important thing when looking for our next home is My workshop. My wife wants an attached garage so She can come check on me because I spend a great deal of time making stuff. Thanks again & God Bless
It's great that your wife is on board with your hunt as well! I hope you find something good soon
Very nice workshop. Big compared to mine which is a 10 x 12 shed 👍👍😊
I know I'm not the smallest shop out there, but at times I feel like I might be with all of the "stuff" I've packed in. My previous "shop" was half of a 10x16 steel shed, so this was certainly a massive step up at the time.
i was wondering where did you disappear! I have to order one of thise headphines holder still
REally bright day for 3:40 am
very nicely setup work shop
Thanks 👍 A lot of time and effort has gone into it!
Loved the tour!... looking forward to see what you do for the great guitar build off this year... my brother and I have started a guitar building channle, we are not good, yet. So, we will be entering the competition. Not to win, just for fun
Best of luck! I hope you guys get on well in the competition, it should be a lot of fun anyway!
Nice shop, Sean Thanks for the tour and look at it all! Do you get cold there enough to hurt your glue? I store mine in the heated office, but did keep in a closed cabinet with a light bulb when it was out in the shop. It gets cold enough here in South Carolina to ruin water based stuff especially. I am remodeling now, then I will be doing a Shop Tour too!
Thanks a million, I miss my little Irish shop alright! It did get cold enough to affect glue though, yes. During the day I had a heater so it was OK, but if I wanted to glue something overnight, it came into the house. It certainly got cold enough for the glue to chalk up and not cure, and that sure was a pain!
I did a live in my shop today, still a lot to organize still. And more to build. Check it out,
Thanks Spike
He's back! (Grabs coffee and settles in).
3:39 Spalty? :)
Right? 😀
Yes, muchly spalty this wood is. I had a total brain fart!
how do you deal with humidity?
What size is this workshop?
This one is 5m x 5m or 16'x16'
Awesome set up, just wondering how many times your chuck key has hit you in the chest because you have forgot to take it it? It’s happened once to me and never again 😂😂
Funny enough, this has never happened! I have thrown it across the room once or twice though. I've also turned it on a few times with the chuck key in the chuck and it looks kinda funny!
@@AwenLutherieCustomGuitars My metalwork teacher would give us such a clout around the head if we ever left a chuck key in the chuck 😆
