This is a literal dream. I’m having a ton of trouble getting my woodworking off the ground but I really hope I can get to the point someday I can justify having my own shop. Beautiful space man
I love most everything about your videos. You put care into your work, have a good mix of power/hand tool refinement, you're about where I'd want to land as a hobbyist, and you are clearly motivated less by TH-cam fame than just enjoying your craft. Nonetheless, your videos are really well shot and edited. Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing. Very impressive use of space and very thought provoking. I like how you take pride in what you build...even shop furniture and fixtures. It really shows.
I just built my garage of 440 sq ft and was wishing it was bigger but it was the maximum I could build for the lot size. Now I'm not feeling so cramped. 😀Thanks for the good ideas.
Very nice shop. Thanks for sharing. I am in the process of building my own sanctuary and is fortunate to have tons of space with a high ceiling in an 100 year old dairy factory.
I love pegboard but have been moving away from it and starting to use magnetic tool holders. I mount them to the pegboard so I get a mix - best of both worlds.
That’s a great idea. I like it. I’ve added a few magnetic studs from Lee Valley which screw into pegboard but they’re rather pricey though they do work very well.
Thanks for watching and as one of the richest (and dead, sadly) people on the planet, please help yourself to a wheelbarrow full of money as you leave the shop.
Nice shop. When we bought our home 10 years ago, we looked for a three car garage. Both cars are parked inside at night. I essentially work in the space of a one car garage. Definitely doable. I was coming from a condo that was 670 square feet in size so between the house and garage, I felt like I had moved into a huge space.
Mine is 209 sf and is small, I do have a freezer box style there and an old coal stove which I use to heat up the garage (not attached to the house), I do scratch my head trying to configure the setup of my power tools but I don’t have the room to work efficiently. I do like that tool cabinet you have and I have to build one like that. Also I sold my Jet table saw and got a Dewalt table saw since the other one was too big.
Terrific setup, well thought out and all of your furniture is very nicely done. A great space. And your video was executed with the same care and attention. Some food for thought there! Thanks.
Just discovered your channel. Thanks for the tour video. I wish you’d posted videos on how you built what you have especially the bench and hand tool cabinet nicely done.
Thanks for watching. I made those before I started making videos. On Fine Woodworking’s TH-cam channel, they made the videos for the tool cabinet available for free. Definitely worth checking out. The bench build was from the Wood Whisperer videos but those you have to pay for from his website. Worth every penny. Thanks again for watching my tour. I appreciate it.
Beautiful space! I also have a Mike Pekovich inspired tool cabinet, mine is not complete, but I am working on it. It is a great choice to base our cabinets off of.
Thanks Anthony! Another great thing about the cabinet is that it’s fairly easy to change things up after it’s built to suit your evolving tool collection, especially the plane till section.
Nice tour of a thoughtful - and amazingly clean - shop. I think there would be interest in videos on how you went about constructing some of the various storage cabinets you've made for the shop, fyi.
Spotless shop in between projects. During projects? Like a bomb went off. I appreciate the suggestion on the shop cabinets. I’ll put it on the list. Thanks for tuning in, Dunc.
I almost went with the dewalt planer because it gets such great reviews but held out ( also because of space ) and went with the Jett "12 helical head combo jointer/planer. Highly recommend .
Shalom and thanks for watching. I used to work in about 160 square feet until my wife finally said I could use the whole garage as long as I warm up her car during the winter!
Hi - Thanks for the shop tour, you have some really nice tools and some great ideas you have given me. New subscriber now look forward seeing more - thank you from UK
I have a small workshop too. Mine is 360sqft. What size is your SawStop Tablesaw. I like your idea of putting the Router on the end of your table saw. Because of time and other things that had to take precedence I haven't had time to really get my shop set up. I've got a jobsite table saw and have both my table saw and miter saw on gravity rise stands like you so I can pull them outside when I need to work on stuff. My shop is packed full of lots of other stuff right now and my goal this year is to finally get everything set up. I want to upgrade to a SawStop PCS 3 HP and I see once you get everything organized in the shop it doesn't leave much room in a small shop like ours. Thanks so much for putting out this video because it has HELPED me tremendously.
Hi Svonne. I have the 3 HP PCS which has been fantastic. Has never left me wanting for more power. Best of luck in getting your shop set up and I’m very glad you found the video helpful. Thanks!
Nice clean well organized shop. I like the plastic peg board. One thing I noticed was you had some strap type peg retainers. I just discovered a new and better type on Amazon. They are small rubber inserts . Simply press in and the lower part of the hook presses in. Simple and cheap. I did have to drill the hole slightly larger to make it easier to push in. The nice thing as well is you can put hooks right next to each other. You can’t do that with the strap type retainers. Good video sir🤙🏻
I’ll have to check that out, Lee. My wrenches are spread out an extra space because of the clips but this rubber insert sounds great. Thanks for the tip and also for watching!
@@quillwoodworks their spread out now but wait till you get more stuff you want to put up 😂😂. Well if you do I think you’ll like these. Keep up the good work! Look forward to more from you.
I have a shop about the same size as yours, my space preserving strategy was a smaller euro 5-in-1 combination machine. With the table attached to the sliding table saw the unit takes up slightly more space than an American cabinet saw but then you don't have another footprint for the jointer and planer.
i have the same laguna bandsaw I did not like the mobile base . i went to home Depot ang got 4 2 1/2" casters with a stud base. the bottom of the band saw has holes on all 4 corners of the base i put the casters in very stable base and you have 4 locking points
What a great shop! You should look into an Oneida Supercell wall mounted DC. I was surprised how much more room I got over my Laguna, not to mention serious power!
Love, love, love your shop set up. I'm building a home (should be finished in about 4 weeks) and its got a 14'x32.5' woodworking shop (almost the same size as yours). I've got 10' ceilings so I'll have a bit more vertical storage. I've tried to organize my tools using Sketchup but alas not being in the shop I can't come up with a good plan. After seeing your shop I've a much better idea of where things should go. I've got just about every tool you showed so our shops need the space for the same equipment. I don't have a lathe, but it's one item I'd love to get. In my shop I've got a dog run across one end (the end opposite the garage door) so I lose about 44" of linear space, however I plan on using the bench over the dog run for my miter saw. I've been away from woodworking for about 20 years now, but now that I'm retired (64 years old) I'll have the time and space to build stuff. Thanks for posting this and showing how you set everything up, it's going to be a big help for me organizing my new space. You got a new subscriber 🙂
Congrats on the new home, Pete! It’s really exciting to set up the shop from scratch. One little piece of advice…don’t be afraid to change stuff after you’ve lived with it for a bit. For example, I used to have my bench running along the short back wall. Once I moved it to its current position, it made a world of difference. For me, fiddling with the set-up is all part of the fun. Best of luck, buddy!
I have a little less square footage, 16x21, but there is also other stuff in there besides wood working stuff. I'd like to get a jointer, planer, drum sander, and dust collection system, but don't quite have the space for that yet.
Just getting ready to set up new shop about 1.5x this size. Great inspiration. Would love a video on your bench. Too late for the build but anything you could share would be welcome.
Hi - great tour and thank-you for sharing. I still find it amusing that US single car garages come in at 350 sq ft when a single car garage in the UK is typically only 258 sq ft. I loved all the space saving ideas especially the cabinets across the beams - something I'm going to give serious consideration to in mine. Oh, and I'm with you on the mitre saw and for similar reasons don't feel able to let go of it right now. Anyway you've got a sub and good luck with the channel. Karl.
Thanks for watching, Karl. My garage is definitely longer than the typical American garage. The current garage is an addition the previous homeowner did. The original garage was right in line with your numbers in the UK. Once again, thanks for watching and subscribing!
350 sq ft? positively spacious! I have less than 1/3 your space (10 sq m) and as well as all of the same woodworking tools I have a large metalwork lathe, milling machine, welder, brazing station, electronics assembly area, and a second bandsaw for metal. Of course, I do not clutter up the space with systainers (probably the worst form of tools storage invented by man- so many steps to retrieve). I did have to site my CNC machines and 3D printers elsewhere- but then you do not want those is a workshop anyway- they do their work without you needing to be there. Takes a bit of planning, but perfectly possible.
@@quillwoodworks I know what you're saying. As a drummer also, I purchased new equipment the same time you did for your tools and the same. Through the roof.
Hi Duane. Thanks for watching. I like horse stall mats from Tractor Supply. I did a quick video on them here: The Best Flooring for Your Workshop , Garage , or Woodshop | Woodworking th-cam.com/users/shortsk8pxvAFyjwU?feature=share
Love your shop but, it may be a single car garage but it's obviously a large single car garage as it's massive compared to my single car integral garage in the UK. 😄 I'm wrestling with the issue of extraction at the moment as like you, I just don't have room for all the ducting and also don't have the room for a complete dust extraction / cyclone system either.
I appreciate you watching. Yeah, dust collection in a small shop can definitely be a challenge. Maybe a wall-mounted solution would work? www.rockler.com/dust-right-reg-wall-mount-dust-collector-650-cfm
Hi Mike. Yes, I built the bench. I ordered the plans and hardware from Benchcrafted and followed The Wood Whisperer’s video series on building it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching, Arnie. Those are the Clampzilla panel clamps from Woodpeckers. A bit pricey but very sturdy and very powerful clamping action. I have four of them but I think most people would be fine with three. Happy new year!
Hi Brian. I think mine may be discontinued but this seems virtually identical. www.homedepot.com/p/HARDWOOD-REFLECTIONS-The-Quick-Bench-4-ft-Folding-Workbench-UV-Finish-5420QBWHUB-48/307411379
Thanks for watching Jeremy. The one I used appears to be an older model no longer in stock but it’s nearly identical to this one from Home Depot. “Everbilt” 16 in. Matte Black Heavy-Duty Folding Shelf Bracket”
Kevin, awesome Sho🥲🥲shop tour, thanks for sharing it! Very well organized and set up for ample work flow. I did one about three years ago and it’s amazing how many additional tools we can gather 🙂 I’ve always found organization, workflow, and keeping a clean shop is important. Not only for safety reasons, but peace of mind. Looking forward to subscribing and watching more of your Contant. Keep up the great work!! 😎👍
Great shop tour. You do a great job at maximizing the space you have. Do you turn on the dust collector when using the planer, or is the blower fan inside the planer powerful enough to blow the chips into the collector?
Nice video. Question, do you find with your systainers set up the way they are that you slide them out and just take out what is needed or do you still remove the systainer to gain access? I'm on the fence about doing double depth for my systainers under my cabinets.
Hi Doug. I slide them out, flip them open and grab what’s needed. I don’t lift the whole systainer out. I really prefer it that way…less stuff to trip over! I appreciate you watching!
Another way to regain space and make a little cash is to sell those Festool boxes. Other than my Domino and large router they are completely unnecessary and space hogs in home shops.
Hi Jerome. The garage is an addition and has its own 100-amp panel. I’m able to fit two 220 volt lines in the box. One covers the heater for the garage and another runs to the jointer and the table saw (and not an issue because those two tools are never on at the same time). Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
That part of the house is an addition and it has its own panel. I don’t recall how many amps but it has sufficient juice. The only thing I had to do was swap out 4 breakers and replace them with 2 dual-breakers (and run the wiring) to handle the table saw and jointer (on the same line and not an issue as they’re never running at the same time) and the heater (on its own line), all running on 220.
Here is a link for the fold-down workbench that I purchased at Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/HARDWOOD-REFLECTIONS-The-Quick-Bench-4-ft-Folding-Workbench-UV-Finish-5420QBWHUB-48/307411379
Many advantages to having a small shop.
Easy to heat and cool.
Easy to clean.
Less space for clutter
Not as costly to build
So awesome. Gave some ideas. Glad you did it to give me some visuals. Thank you!
Glad you found it helpful, Dan! Thanks for watching.
Nice Shop!
This is a literal dream. I’m having a ton of trouble getting my woodworking off the ground but I really hope I can get to the point someday I can justify having my own shop. Beautiful space man
Thanks for the nice words, Cameron. Best of luck in your woodworking journey!
Neatly organized, you proved 350 is more than enough space, and you have got every tool including lathe
Thanks for watching. I appreciate it. As long as I’m not building a bed, this space seems to be enough!
This excellent. Excellent tool choices. And a great lesson in organization.
Thank you kindly!
Thank you for sharing your space and your humor.
I appreciate you watching, Sean!

Oooh…I’d love an extra 90 feet. Best of luck with your new set-up!
great ideas and use of space
From a fellow woodworker you gain a new subscriber. I love the fact that everything is visible and accessible. Great workshop layout!
Thank you for following along and for the kind words, Eric. Very much appreciated!
My shop is the same dimensions but in my basement. It’s plenty of space. You are well spoken and easy to listen to. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the nice words and I appreciate you tuning in!
Thank you so .I have a small shop also 480 sq ft.After watching your video I will look at how
stop wasting space. Again thank you. Julien Lamarche
Glad you found the video helpful, Julien!
What a dream. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you, Pat. I appreciate you watching.
Nice tour! Love the custom storage to take advantage of the random spaces.
Happy you liked it, JP!
Nice shop , and a great roubo workbench, thank you for the video
Thanks for watching, Julio. I appreciate it.
The Steve Job carpenter!!.
Well thought out shop . . . also agree to pegboard over cleats . . . .more options
For sure, Danny! Thanks for watching.
Such a nice workshop. Well thought of solutions. Good job!
Thank you, Eirek. Very much appreciated!
Love your shop! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Roger!

Fantastic video / shop setup. I always knew Steve Jobs would be great at woodworking!
Thanks for watching and as one of the richest (and dead, sadly) people on the planet, please help yourself to a wheelbarrow full of money as you leave the shop.
I needed ideas for a shop layout. My shop is 14x30 with an OH door at the rear of the shop, double doors at the front...your video is very helpful.
Wow. Our shops are nearly identical in size. Best of luck with setting yours up and thanks for watching.
Nice shop, thanks for sharing!

I hear ya. My wife and I moved into this house from a one-bedroom NYC apartment. Felt strange to have room to move around. Thanks for watching, Joe.
Now that's a nice set up in your shop.
Nice and organized not like mine.
Thanks for sharing.
I appreciate you watching and the kind words!
Great use of space! Will have to incorporate some of these ideas into my 100 square feet shop.

Simple thoughtful time and space-saving organization is the keystone to any shop. How you equip your shop depends upon the needs of the work you do.
Agree 100%. Thanks for watching, Peter.

Thanks for watching, Arnie. Those are the Clampzilla panel clamps from Woodpeckers. A bit pricey but very sturdy and very powerful clamping action. I have four of them but I think most people would be fine with three. Happy new year!
Nice layout. What hinge supports are you using for table attached to fireplace? Thanks for the info.
Hi Brian. I think mine may be discontinued but this seems virtually identical. www.homedepot.com/p/HARDWOOD-REFLECTIONS-The-Quick-Bench-4-ft-Folding-Workbench-UV-Finish-5420QBWHUB-48/307411379
Great shop! Would you happen to have plans to your bench?
Thanks Greg! The plans were from Benchcrafted. Here’s the link: benchcrafted.com/products/split-top-roubo-bench-plans
I just had to be subscriber 1,000.
Well, you know what they say…you never forget your one thousandth. Thanks for the sub, Ron!
Nice space and setup. Would you mind sharing the hardware/brackets source for the folding wall bench mounted to the chimney? Thanks!
Thanks for watching Jeremy. The one I used appears to be an older model no longer in stock but it’s nearly identical to this one from Home Depot. “Everbilt” 16 in. Matte Black Heavy-Duty Folding Shelf Bracket”
@@quillwoodworks thanks for the info. Much appreciated. 👍🏽
Kevin, awesome Sho🥲🥲shop tour, thanks for sharing it! Very well organized and set up for ample work flow. I did one about three years ago and it’s amazing how many additional tools we can gather 🙂 I’ve always found organization, workflow, and keeping a clean shop is important. Not only for safety reasons, but peace of mind. Looking forward to subscribing and watching more of your Contant. Keep up the great work!! 😎👍
Thanks for the nice words and I agree 100% on keeping a clean shop. Makes for much more enjoyable time in the shop!
Great shop tour. You do a great job at maximizing the space you have. Do you turn on the dust collector when using the planer, or is the blower fan inside the planer powerful enough to blow the chips into the collector?
Thanks for watching, Jose. I definitely have to run the dust collector when using the planer. Easily the loudest operation in the shop!
I also work in a one car garage, love these ideas. How long did it take to clean the shop before you made this video?
About 40 hours…then about 6 minutes after I started my next job to make it a disaster again. 😁
Nice video. Question, do you find with your systainers set up the way they are that you slide them out and just take out what is needed or do you still remove the systainer to gain access? I'm on the fence about doing double depth for my systainers under my cabinets.
Hi Doug. I slide them out, flip them open and grab what’s needed. I don’t lift the whole systainer out. I really prefer it that way…less stuff to trip over! I appreciate you watching!
Two things you can not have enough in a wood shop , clamps and room.
Ain’t that the truth. Making a bed later this year. Should be interesting making it in my sized shop.
Correct about the PC router. They don’t make any of them any more.
Ha. I sold the same compound miter saw.
Thanks for the confirmation, Lamar.
Another way to regain space and make a little cash is to sell those Festool boxes. Other than my Domino and large router they are completely unnecessary and space hogs in home shops.
Someone may have already asked but curious how much power you have available in your shop?
Hi Jerome. The garage is an addition and has its own 100-amp panel. I’m able to fit two 220 volt lines in the box. One covers the heater for the garage and another runs to the jointer and the table saw (and not an issue because those two tools are never on at the same time). Hope this helps and thanks for watching!
do your machines roll well on the gym mats ?????
Yes, they do. They’re stall mats from Tractor Supply. The heaviest machines roll easily. Thanks for watching.
Did you need to upgrade the electrical service to the garage, or was whatever the home builder did enough?
That part of the house is an addition and it has its own panel. I don’t recall how many amps but it has sufficient juice. The only thing I had to do was swap out 4 breakers and replace them with 2 dual-breakers (and run the wiring) to handle the table saw and jointer (on the same line and not an issue as they’re never running at the same time) and the heater (on its own line), all running on 220.
Gigantic? Huh? Haven't worked on a slider yet?
A slider? Pffft. Haven’t worked on a SBD36 Slat Bed Dip Chain Ripsaw yet?
Great use of space but by your overhead lumber storage, I guess you don’t live in earthquake country.
Ha! Yeah, I’m in NY. Floods, locusts, but no earthquakes. Thanks for watching.
Where do you store the chopstick maker?
That’s stored in the corner of my shop in a big box marked “regrets”.
What hardware did you use for the folding table?
Here is a link for the fold-down workbench that I purchased at Home Depot. www.homedepot.com/p/HARDWOOD-REFLECTIONS-The-Quick-Bench-4-ft-Folding-Workbench-UV-Finish-5420QBWHUB-48/307411379
What wood was used for the workbench top?
That was ash. Soft maple is also a good choice.
@@quillwoodworks thank you!!
@@quillwoodworks amazing video btw it inspired me to start building my shop like that
Awesome! So glad you found it useful!
You have plenty of room for a miter saw!
I prefer some room to breathe. 😁
"Is 350 sq ft enough space"? If it's 10 ft x 35 no!
It’s actually 175’x2’ but I make it work!
Festool and Sawstop. I immediately stopped watching your video.
That’s too bad. You missed what Steven Spielberg called “Perhaps the greatest, most important video of our time.”
