Sorry everyone for the nauseating back-and-forth panning during this video. I was trying to film it solo with my AI/artificial intelligence and I think it was a bit too much. I’ll get it worked out so it’s not that way in the future. Thanks to everyone for watching.
This is by far my favorite so far of your videos! There are all so good. I just loved the feeling of being into your world a little little bit. Everything is so strategically thought out in your shop! I also love the aerial views you added in!
Love all the hidden areas that you have for your tools and your nails your screws. Your shop just looks so wonderful and so organized and a lot of thought has gone into all the different things that you have done here in your shop. Nice job.
@@janetlarson5225 thank you so much, you’re right, everything that you see probably has at least five hours worth of thought process that went into each of them. It’s funny because I’ll come up with an idea that I think is amazing and then all of a sudden I’ll have one little thought that will switch it and the whole thing changes. That’s why I’m cautious to not build with my first idea, but learn the value of slowing down and chewing on it for a little bit to make sure that it’s ultimately what I need. And even then, sometimes it changes after the fact. Thanks for commenting, have a great day.
@@Friskokid77 thank you my friend, thanks for commenting. I appreciate that. At some point we gotta get you over here for a guys night. Talk to you later.
@@Friskokid77 hello my friend, thanks for commenting. We’ll have to get you over here at some point so you can take a look at it maybe have a guys night with Gearhead and the rest of the boys. I’ve got an eight bit Mario Brothers app for the TV. Hope all is well in your neck of the woods.
Joshua, really enjoy watching your videos, appreciate what you do for the band of brothers. Your videos are extremely interesting and I'm sure a great help to other do it yourselfers. Thank you, Len BTW definitely subscribed
Hello Len, great to meet you today. It was an honor to connect with you. Sometime in the near future, we’ll have to get you out to the Airsoft Field, we’d be absolutely honored to have you out there. Thank you so much for watching and subscribing. Getting closer to that 1000 subscriber mark.
Lol, beautiful indeed. I’ve always thought about replacing it, but I’ve never did. Perhaps it just reminds me that life‘s worth more when you’re willing to go after things that you’re not totally comfortable in and willing to make a mistake versus not doing much for the sake of being comfortable and safe.
Thank you so much, we’ve definitely been doing a slow trickle of progress moving forward. This latest addition of the container will be the Keystone of our storage and I believe I can start moving forward with the outside despite the fact that the ADU isn’t finished. Did you like your Appearance on the scaffolding on this one? It seems like Braun and you are the most frequently occurring and reoccurring guest on the show. Lol.
Uh-oh, now you know the secret stash location! What’s funny is, if you check the fridge in the same shop, there’s no Dr Pepper at all. You found the hidden hidden stash-next level concealment! 😀
@ that’s awesome. II love chatting with people that share a similar passion for woodworking/adventure. I checked out your chat as well, are you still doing magic performances?
@@generalsworkshop Yes Sir! I drop in here and there doing open mics at local comedy gigs (aside from corporate and private gigs)! My shop is geared towards building illusions! You should come check it out!
Thank you so much for watching and for the kind comment-it means a lot! Organization is definitely the secret sauce in the shop; without it, projects turn into treasure hunts for tools! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment-it really makes my day! Organization is the backbone of any good shop. Without it, I'd spend more time searching for tools than building anything!
Excellent shop. Looks too nice to work in 😂 . As to your vacuum situation. I have a metal and wood shop myself. More metal than wood machines and only a glorified hobby shop. This being said I don’t generate enough wood chips and saw dust to warrant a big dust collection system. What I have is a dedicated vacume for my table saw as well as my miter saw using an auto switch on each. Honestly it works pretty darn good. I had to make a better piece to use on the miter saw behind the blade though. Most saws don’t really have great systems. 😂 just like most table saws have junk miter gauges. Anyway I love your presentation as well as your man cave shop. If I could design a man cave shop I’d use your ideas 100%. Keep up the great work young man…….I’m soon to be 75 so yeah your young😂 👍🏼👍🏼
Lol, young man, I’ll take it! My dad is 93 and he keeps telling me “don’t get old”. Still figuring out how to do that and wish there was an auto switch for staying Young. I really admire your practical setup with the smaller Shop Vacs and auto switches. It’s a smart system that makes a lot of sense for shops that don’t need a full dust collection system. Honestly, you’ve got me thinking about how I can incorporate something similar for smaller jobs in my shop. As for the man cave ideas-if you ever change your mind, I’d bet your take on it would be incredible. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and I really appreciate you taking the time to check out the video!
Honestly you have the best shop I’ve seen on here. And I watch a LOT of shop tours. I just keep thinking regardless of the dust collection systems you have to still get dust over all your kool man cave furniture. The combination is awesome though. So when the wife makes you feel like you should be in the dog house you have a great place to go. Speaking of wives…..mine is 18 years younger than me and also grew up in MN. Probably the best thing in your shop is the shop dog lol. I have a pocket Beagle. She’s only a year old so I have the 2 second rule. If I don’t pick something up in 2 seconds she has it in her mouth and you’ll never see it again🤣. The mini split HVAC is awesome to have. I finally put one in my shop. I live at the beach in SC so it gets hot and can still get chilly in the winter. Seeing what you have makes me want to do the same. But at 75 that’s not gonna happen lol. My metal shop has a bunch of saws, welders, Bridgeport and 14 inch lathe so I’m gonna stay put. Nice having conversations with you. I subscribed BYW. looking forward to see more of your projects. Below find a link to the shop tour of my machine shop. Sold it to my sons years ago, but it will always be my baby.
@ Thank you so much! Being awarded the 'Best Shop' is a high accolade indeed-I humbly and gladly accept! You're absolutely right about the dust settling in the man cave area; it's definitely a drawback. That said, I do have an air filter mounted on the ceiling (which, for some odd reason, didn’t make it into the shop tour video). It works well in conjunction with the vacuums to help manage the dust. As for the dog-lol, the two-second rule is alive and well here, too. Unless, of course, it's food; then he somehow manages to catch it mid-air like a pro athlete! And you're from Minnesota? That's awesome! My mom is 18 years younger than my dad so I can definitely relate. The mini-split has been an absolute game-changer for making the shop comfortable year-round. Your metal shop sounds amazing! I'm trying to dive deeper into metalworking and welding myself. In fact, my next video will feature a trailer tour where the back end was completely removed and rebuilt. It will also show several welded projects done right in my shop. Hopefully, it’ll be out soon-would love for you to check it out! By the way, I didn’t see the link you mentioned for your metal shop-where can I find it? I’d be really excited to see your setup!
@ thank you so much. I appreciate our conversation as well. Thanks for the subscription. I’m just about that authorization which comes with 1000 subscribers and 4000 watch hours. Just about there. One thing I love about this allows me the highlights stuff that I’ve been passing about before ever even thinking about starting a new TH-cam channel. I believe that’s the only way to make sure that content creation stays authentic and engaging., Thanks and have a great day.
Thanks for showing us your shop. You’ve obviously put a lot of thought and hard work into it. You forgot to mention that your brother Steve usually won in the basketball game, however.😅
Great eye catching the Christmas tree! Yes, I do decorate for Christmas-it’s all part of the festive spirit around here. But don’t worry, the tree doesn’t get in the way of my projects. If anything, it adds a little extra magic to the workshop. I like to think of it as Santa’s workshop, but instead of toys, I’m cranking out sawdust and Airsoft trailers. And who knows-when it’s all decorated, I might even do another workshop tour video, but this time calling it the Christmas Edition! Stay tuned!
It would be so wonderful to be able to see how you decorate your shop for Christmas so maybe you could do a video for us to see how you decorate the shop thank you for the consideration
Can you share a few of the dimensions? Entire area and then floor area for the step up area? Gives me some things to think about. We have land cleared and a builder. Can you elaborate on your upper loft area? What is your ceiling height? What insulation did you use?
Absolutely, if you want more details on the stage area, consider watching my other video that highlights it. But the stage area is 76 inches wide by 140. Inches long. My overhead area from ceiling to where I’m gonna do the new bunkhouse floor is approximately 4 feet minus the floor substrate, which will likely be three-quarter inch plywood. I’m actually working on that as we speak and should have a video coming out with the bunkhouse, with custom western awning ambience to boot. Lol. Super excited for this one. Regarding the insulation of the upper area, I honestly do not remember what our value I used, but I know that I did it as an overkill and therefore it was more than what I needed. My biggest challenge as a relates to insulation is my doors and the amount of air that it allows to escape around the periphery of the doors. The shop in total is roughly 25 feet wide by 54’ long. The ceiling height is 12 feet. So when you look at the stage area, it takes up 1/9 of the space. But again it’s more of an accentuator of the space as it gains me storage below the stage and now it’ll have storage above the stage. I wanted to stick with an old West style decor so I’m thinking about making an awning with a large “general store style sign but I’m just not sure I’m gonna have the space available. I’m gonna start off by doing this loft build and then I will Decorate or do all the finishing touches in a separate video. That’s exciting about your land. I would imagine you’ve got some pretty big plans.
@ Prompt responses are easy when it’s about something I love! Sharing my passion is one of the best parts of this channel. Thanks again for your comment, and I’m looking forward to sharing more in the next video!
