Hello Eric. I have watched your videos. They have a very natural feel about them. I hope to see more. All the best, waving the hand from Australia 👍🇦🇺🤠
This was awesome , love understanding the thought behind all the choices. there’s something about peg boards that don’t sit well with me either, I think it’s all the extra holes that don’t have a use 😂. Now I’m inspired to redo/tidy up my own workspace, cheers!
Nice shed and very well laid out! For your info INOX is not a brand it means Stainless Steel. If you ever come across those beautiful simple French picnic knives called Opinel they come with two types of blade material. High Carbon (holds a fabulous edge) and stainless steel (marked INOX and best for food use especially acidic fruits).
Hi Eric, I loved your shop tour, particularly the other beautiful spaces you highlighted and the first time i've seen someone give a comprehensive list of what plants they're growing. Only incase you're unaware but what you called Japanese welding clamps are more commonly known as Kant twist clamps and generally used by machinists, also a mascot of Frank Howarth who i'm adamant you'd be aware of due to his great work and beautiful chaotic shop.
Great video and also great to see new content. I'm currently working on a '73 Raleigh Competition that I'm building up as a highly curated rando style build. My Competition has the same Capella lugs as your International btw. They're lovely bikes. I know, super annoying, but my inner grammar geek kicked in when you said continually about the John Stevens shop. As penance for being one of those people, I have subscribed to the channel. 🙂 Continually and continuously are related words, but they have slightly different meanings. Continually is an adverb meaning “frequently” or “regularly.” Continuously is an adverb meaning “constantly” or “without interruption.”
Stumbled upon your channel, and I love your content! I'm also a cyclist and a photographer. I believe the lamp fixture at 34:50 might be a darkroom safelight, but it seems to be missing the red filter glass. I had a similar one in my darkroom about 20 years ago. Thanks for sharing your work! It would be cool to meet up for a ride sometime.
so glad you did this tour, was a pleasant surprise to find out you uploaded recently! I'm also glad to find someone who shares the same sentiment on the Uten.Silo
I’m super excited about the Raleigh build! Last summer I rebuilt a 1978 Raleigh Super Grand Prix after being inspired by your videos. Can’t wait to see it!
So peaceful and cosy and yes, compared to my system, extremely organised. I just acquired the remnants of a liquidated bike store and now my shed looks like the a game over screen from Tetris.
Great tour, thanks for the insight. I have been lucky to work in very warm and convivial shops where my coworkers have also been friends. If I had a shop of my own I imagine it would be at least 50% trinkets and bits that I enjoy looking at, the rest being useful. The top of my Kennedy box is always full of trinkets, like a little keepsake stash. A travelers sample sized Stanridge surface place (with calibration), a Tom Lipton inspired "No Bozos" clock, that pair of pliers that my coworker found on the side of the street and gifted me. It really nice to hear someone else talk about the things we keep in the shop and why.
Nice shop. I was lucky enough to inherit my great grandpas tools that he used building coach cars for Pullman. My prized possession is his hand made toolbox he used for all of his wood working tools. He used this box from the late 1890’s all the way till he retired from Pullman in the 40’s. It feels good to grab the box where his hands did grabbed it for over 50 years.
Hey man, I really resonated with your view on what makes a shop. It can be so much more than just a place to work, when we fill it with art and things that are personally important to us. Ive been thinking about finding a place for a small lounge chair in my garage/shop to just take a break drink some coffee and admire the space. Keep it up I really like what youre doing!
To add to your brown palette of choice on the international, i suggest looking into the the blue lug fairweather “for cruise” 700c x 38mm tire. No experience with them but I think they’d look neat and I’m sure they’d ride neat as well, I think they are essentially paselas. Thanks for this video definitely enjoyed it
Excellent video, please do one of your house, featuring all the things you love and treasure in their, plus all the stuff you have been lucky enough to pickup from dumpsters. Stay safe and Merci.
Love your videos - thank you for sharing this man. Some great insight into how you think about and observe art... all of your creations are lovely! Cheers
I enjoyed the deep dive into the shop Eric! I can't remember if I mentioned in Philly how I was getting so frustrated this past year working for a guy with a super cluttered/chaotic woodshop, so much time wasted looking for tools... Nice to see a space designed to make working easy. I've gotta check out your book recs and etc, so much good taste and interesting things to reference. The raleigh component collection is looking good! Hope you can get it runnin for summer, if i were you I'd just grab some whatever stuff from a coop and ride until i could save up funds for fancy stuff.. but thats me and I'm impatient. Noticed your will keating print hanging up there in the background, i finally got around this year to making a frame for mine out of some european beech, handcut dovetails. fun project. thanks for sharing!
Great video! Thank you for sharing. I am with you when it comes to having tools or items that are close at hand and that have a home. When you were mentioning tin cans being underrated I was thinking of coffee cans. I have tons of them that I use to store items and my paint brushes. ☕️
Great shop, well thought out…..everything. One question, what is your heat source for working in the shop during colder seasons? A small woodstove would be a nice addition to the space? Thanks for the inspiration!
As an extra, let’s see your audio set up for those c.d’s. Many of your videos have cool sound tracks, so I’d love to see what music makes you smile while you’re working on your projects.
Great looking shop Eric (I was furiously taking screenshots all of the other great examples you showed). Here in Australia, tin sheds are notoriously hot in summer. Do you heat it somehow in winter?
Thanks for the shop tour. Unlike my garage, everything looks neat and tidy, although you’ve inspired me to make improvements. Quick question: What’s the origin of the metal sign with Fredericksburg and what appears to be a couple of dates?
Hi Eric, was wondering if 38mm tyres will fit in that frame as I find that 28mm is pretty much the limit on any old Raleighs I have owned. Love your video's keep them coming.
I've a Raleigh Randonneur which squeezes 38s and mudguards under, but it's more light touring orientated rather than an aggressive roadie. Raleigh made plenty of models which cater for a wider 700c tyre
Man I’ve your shop always caught my attention in the bike builds you’ve done, glad you finally made a dedicated video. I build my first bike last summer on a ‘77 Raleigh super course frame so I understand the frustration of gathering all the components. I have a question - do you frequent the same dump or is it multiple dumps where you manage to find all those goodies?
Hello Eric. I have watched your videos. They have a very natural feel about them. I hope to see more. All the best, waving the hand from Australia 👍🇦🇺🤠
please do a home tour of the stuff around your house that you built, love your desk
So weirdos can come by? No thanks.
Please make more videos, this was sublime.

Personally, I would like you to give a detailed tour of that CD collection!
As someone who lives in the city, it's my dream to have a work space like yours. Looking forward to the next build.
Hello, Eric. Fellow fan of gardening, hand-painted signs, inspirational shop spaces, and bicycles here. Please continue. Thanks.
That green light looks like a darkroom safelight. Had one which came with an amber lens - and 15w is about right for a darkroom
Thanks for the shop tour!! Very well thought out space.

Great video Eric, thanks for sharing with us. Greetings from Richmond!
I’ve been envious or your workspace since I discovered this channel with one of your first videos. Thanks for this demo
so glad you did this tour, was a pleasant surprise to find out you uploaded recently! I'm also glad to find someone who shares the same sentiment on the Uten.Silo
Thank you Eric. You are an inspiration. I yet to find a space I can arrange and manage but you give me hope.

thanks Eric, love your set up ideas and I'm looking forward to your next build, great stuff
Pretty phenomenal video. Thank you. Watched it and found myself lost in thought.

Eric - you might enjoy the Neistat Brother's shops... Van and Casey respectively. They are functional and very space efficient.
Hey man, I really resonated with your view on what makes a shop. It can be so much more than just a place to work, when we fill it with art and things that are personally important to us.

Greetings from cold, rainy London! Very glad to see you back and looking forward to some more bike builds in the shed

Looking at your shop makes me want to redo mine. Thanks!

Splendid! Thanks for the ideas.
love to see a build video of the raleigh
I love the Bob Barker mic!
This is the best youtube channel
Great shop, well thought out…..everything. One question, what is your heat source for working in the shop during colder seasons? A small woodstove would be a nice addition to the space? Thanks for the inspiration!
Gettin’ hungry looking at the garden. Next vid is a kitchen tour!! 😂😉
Love the shop! What’s the name of the cute little red radio you have?
As an extra, let’s see your audio set up for those c.d’s. Many of your videos have cool sound tracks, so I’d love to see what music makes you smile while you’re working on your projects.
after the first half of this video i FULLy forgot i followed you because of bike stuff
hell yeah
Great Video. Inox means stainless steel btw.
Great content. What’s happening @t 5:08? I’m not asking what was bleeped, but my neurodivergence is wondering why it was bleeped. Thank you.

Are you sure you can fit 38mm tires on the Raleigh frame?
in french inox means stainless steel, should be the same in italian ;o)
so....did that bike get built yet or...
"they are gurrate" 😂
Re: garden knife, inox means stainless. "inoxidable"
Raleigh project?! :)
Also, did you consider 650b like the Ultraromance build?
Man I’ve your shop always caught my attention in the bike builds you’ve done, glad you finally made a dedicated video.
I build my first bike last summer on a ‘77 Raleigh super course frame so I understand the frustration of gathering all the components.
I have a question - do you frequent the same dump or is it multiple dumps where you manage to find all those goodies?
