I feel like when someone is finally hooked on slinging sawdust the first "quality money" they should spend would be on dust collection. Makes this whole thing so much more enjoyable!
Enjoyed the tour, good use of space, lots of great ideas. Just ordered the switch for the miter saw/dust collection. The reclaimed wood wall looks great, good use of the wood. Just finished my own run out table, used 4 X 8 ft 3/4 inch particle board cut in half and laid over each other then 3 coats of poly. Smooth and slick.
Thanks! Love that switch. It’s one of the best investment so far in the space. That wall also added so much aesthetically to my space. Makes me want to paint the other walls potentially. Your method for the out feed table sounds solid. Redoing my top is on my quarantine to do list!
Nice job on the shop. I also work out of a 2 car garage shop and am ready to re-vamp the lay out. Lots of tools, mostly Festool, but need to get better organized....Inspired.
Thanks for the nice video. I like the layout and dust collection system you have. I have a 16x24 shop and it is not nearly as organized as yours is. It is a constant strugle to keep it clean. It helps to see what others are doing. Thanks again
If it makes you feel any better - my shop goes from super clean and organized to disaster zone all in the span of just a few hours. This video obviously showcased it in its most organized state. I'm naturally a very organized person so I try to clean up after each day if it's practical as otherwise I can't find anything, I can't move anywhere, and I have no work surfaces to actually build! I find the more organization I have and the better dust collection, the more inspired I am to maintain a great working space. Glad you found it useful - 16x24 is a perfect shop size!
You did a good job on your shop tour the only thing is that you just need to kind a lose that I love it every third word I love it it just kind of got old after a while but all in all you did really good job hang in there you’ll do great looking forward to see some of your bill videos
you are a brave soul taking that reclaimed wood to your SAW STOP! unless of course, you disengaged the safety brake system. That wood could have all kinds of metal in it!
Hey! Your workbench video was one of the first of 100’s of workbench builds I watched. I didn’t know you’re in SoCal. I’m in OC. I’m new to woodworking. Any SoCal related tips for woodworking? Like best lumber dealers, etc... I’m an RN so not many people in my line of work that share this hobby that I can network with. LOL.
Great idea! I’ve thought about that actually. I just got a welding table that I need to assemble so I’m nice that is in place I’m going to rethink the crane set up.
david from make something borrowed the track stops idea for your miter saw from the king, the god, the one and only norm replacement ----The Woodwhisperer, Marc Spags!
You might want to consider wrapping that PVC pipe with bare copper to ground to disipate the static charges that build up on those things..... You'd be surprised how much charge can accrue over time lol.
@@workshop_edits look, I don't know why you're all up in arms about it - I'm only speaking from experience. It definitely is NOT a myth. It DOES happen and there are even fire codes written about it in EVERY state - you're in california, right?www.dir.ca.gov/title8/5174.html specifically, (d) Hoses and nozzles used in the collection or blowing of dusts shall have electrical continuity maintained along the entire length from coupling to nozzle and shall be bonded to ground. When you have as much experience in the shop as I or guys like me - you'll see those "myths" become realities. Your arrogance about what you "know" is really going to get you in trouble.
I'm not up in arms about it, and I'm not arrogant about it. I've just heard this argument so many times without anything to actually back it up. I did my research heavily before building anything, and couldn't find a single reported case of a fire from a dust collection system or a static discharge that actually injured someone from a system that uses PVC pipe. That's all.
How about a number of small vacuums, one for each device, attached to the devices' on/off button to automatically turn on and off? This will get rid of all those huge pipes and vacuum.
I think Dave Piscuitto does something like this, but he just uses a few of the Rockler systems. Personally, I don't think it is practical because then you end up doubling or tripling your footprint with each tool to account for a small vacuum. You end up spending roughly $200 per tool then as well for the vacuum, hoses, fittings, etc., and they all need to be plugged in at all times. Whereas with this system, I have the miter saw on it's own thing and it works great, the table saw is always piped in, and I have a few hoses that can run to the 3-4 main tools I have. Alls to say, I don't think that system you're suggesting is a practical or cost efficient system.
Anecdotally, it works very well, but I do want to upgrade to the 1250 for just the added benefit, but the 650 works plenty well with good piping and blast gates. Worked double well once I added the cyclone. It is very bad with separating big chips and clogging, so the extra second stage made 100% difference.
Nice! I'm a LA maker too, working in basically the same type of 50yr old garage, though my walls are just the studs. I've considered finishing them in some way (ply or drywall etc). I noticed you insulated yours, do you think it helps in any way? With the roofing not insulated etc.
Nice! I insulated them with the thought that one day I might do my roof too but haven’t gotten too it yet - it does nothing for me right now though. It gets impossibly hot in there in the summer!
Thanks! I don’t, but maybe I should? I’m I SoCal and it’s a very dry climate and in two years I haven’t experience rusting in any of my tools except my cast iron Sawstop top which was due to me leaving very wet cedar on it. Came off quickly with removal though. Cheers
It's a Kasa smart plug - I think they are normally $25 but when i bought the Alexa Mini on Prime Day (which i think was cut down to like $20), the outlet was $9.99. Works perfect every time.
What smart plug did you use for your dust collection system? I tried this but the outlet i used trips the smart switch every time because of the start up wattage it pulls.
It’s a Kasa outlet. Works great and never had that experience actually. I don’t think the vacuum pulls more than 12amps on start up on my end, if that.
@@workshop_edits In some countries you can't use romex. Everything gets put in conduit, even inside covered walls. In the USA we can do it, and you have to use the nail plates if too close to the finished wall surface. You did it right.
She can! I yell a bit louder and cup my hands but she works every time. It's a lot more challenging with the compressor which is extra loud and also smart plug controlled. If all else fails, I can just push the button on either switch or if I'm extra lazy I can use the app. The convenience of it far outweighs the occasional blip in the system. Cheers.
It’s not big. It’s a good size but it’s small compared to some of the much larger workshops you see guys have online. It’s all relative, but I think it’s a good indicator of how a 380 square foot space could be built out. Get some rest sleepy man.
@@workshop_edits Admittedly, it was my first thought, too, since I'm in a one-car space. BUT the video was really informative. And maybe your mindset that it's a small shop is helpful, because you've approached it thoughtfully and tried to be efficient and organized to maximize the space, improve dust collection, keep things mobile, etc.
Nice shop but dude you must have more money invested in tools than most people have spend on their homes. Did you rob a bank or are you in the drug cartel or something.
Really like the idea of whiteboard sliding cabinet doors.
I know they’re so simple but I saw this as one of the more clever things about my set up. Love having them!
REALY LIKE YOUR OUT FEED TABLE AND THE WEATHER WOOD LOOK
THANK YOU
I feel like when someone is finally hooked on slinging sawdust the first "quality money" they should spend would be on dust collection. Makes this whole thing so much more enjoyable!
Agreed. Even with dust collection I'm constantly cleaning - I can't imagine how bad it would be without it.
I’m always looking for ideas. Nice space

@@workshop_edits Did a lot of sanding until it was super smooth then put the poly on it. Really was surprised how smooth and slick it turn out.
Nice shop, Zach,and really effective use of the available space. Keep up the good work....
Thanks!
Nice space and good video. Look forward to the projects you're going to crank out.
Thanks 👍
Cyclon dust collector is great.👍👍 It is clean and organized through evolution.
Yup!
@@workshop_edits Thanks for your reply. Please have chance to see and subscribe my youtube channel. See you later.
yes, like the fence wood to wall idea
thanks! came out good!
Really love the shop I'm on my path to set mine up👍
Sweet!
Very well done, great ideas
Thank you! 😊

Nice shop and great dust collection system. Love it
Thanks 👍
Nice workshop man!
Thanks!
Cool shop man. I really dig how you have it set up.
Thanks! Always a work in progress but really happy with it right now!
Just found your channel, I like your energy level and checked out some of your other videos. Nice job Zack
Thanks for watching!

Good job still have to cut your miter gauge slots in the out feed table I just built a swing down out feed for my ridged saw love it for my small shop
That's awesome! I'm actually about to replace the top of it so the plan is to do the routing on the new top. Thanks for watching!
You did a good job on your shop tour the only thing is that you just need to kind a lose that I love it every third word I love it it just kind of got old after a while but all in all you did really good job hang in there you’ll do great looking forward to see some of your bill videos
Might I suggest punctuation before critiquing anyone in how they film and speak in their videos…
great workshop, the dust collection system is very interesting.
It works great for my set up. Was a quick project to tackle in just a few hours
Good job mate!
Thanks!
you are a brave soul taking that reclaimed wood to your SAW STOP! unless of course, you disengaged the safety brake system. That wood could have all kinds of metal in it!
I disabled it - the only time I’ve ever done it!

Awesome, thank you!
You should try running your welding gun through the mini crane. Depending on how much welding you do it actually would probably make it easier to use
Great idea! I’ve thought about that actually. I just got a welding table that I need to assemble so I’m nice that is in place I’m going to rethink the crane set up.

You might want to consider wrapping that PVC pipe with bare copper to ground to disipate the static charges that build up on those things..... You'd be surprised how much charge can accrue over time lol.
That’s a myth. PVC from a vacuum system doesn’t reach that level of static charge. I don’t know why people continue to spread that misinformation.

How well does the 650 dust collector work with all those ducts?
Anecdotally, it works very well, but I do want to upgrade to the 1250 for just the added benefit, but the 650 works plenty well with good piping and blast gates. Worked double well once I added the cyclone. It is very bad with separating big chips and clogging, so the extra second stage made 100% difference.

Nice shop good lay out the only thing you should rethink is metal working in the confines of a wood shop
Can you elaborate on what you mean by that?
@@workshop_edits WOOD DUST AND HOT METAL SPARKS DO NOT MIX VERY WELL
was not being critical just a safety issue
@@workshop_edits not being critical just a safety issue hot metal sparks have a way of getting into unseen places
Bro. Chill.
Great shop review. Do you worry about rust on the tools hanging on the tool wall? My shop is in the garage, and i get rust on any exposed tools.
Thanks! I don’t, but maybe I should? I’m I SoCal and it’s a very dry climate and in two years I haven’t experience rusting in any of my tools except my cast iron Sawstop top which was due to me leaving very wet cedar on it. Came off quickly with removal though. Cheers
question, what software did you use to create that rendering around the 0:25 second mark?
That is Sketchup 3D. Great software for woodworkers and DIYers.
What brand smart outlet did you use on the dust collector.
It's a Kasa smart plug - I think they are normally $25 but when i bought the Alexa Mini on Prime Day (which i think was cut down to like $20), the outlet was $9.99. Works perfect every time.

What sled was that? Looks like some sort of Rockler jig..
Sorry - which sled?
What smart plug did you use for your dust collection system? I tried this but the outlet i used trips the smart switch every time because of the start up wattage it pulls.
It’s a Kasa outlet. Works great and never had that experience actually. I don’t think the vacuum pulls more than 12amps on start up on my end, if that.
Whats your plug name for saw?
If you mean the yellow cable, its linked in the description
While we are here; what happened with your collaboration with Crafted Workshop?
Hopefully more collaborative projects in the future!
@@workshop_edits great. I thought something happened and they were over. Great to hear. Nice workshop by the way!
I like the shop! id just put the camera on a stand next time!
Yup! Or a gimbal! Will figure that out moving forward
Ehh the wires at 0:40 is illegal?
Should you not use hard wires in the walls in USA ?
Sorry - I don’t think I understand your question?
@@workshop_edits In some countries you can't use romex. Everything gets put in conduit, even inside covered walls. In the USA we can do it, and you have to use the nail plates if too close to the finished wall surface. You did it right.
But can Alexa hear you when you want to turn it off?
She can! I yell a bit louder and cup my hands but she works every time. It's a lot more challenging with the compressor which is extra loud and also smart plug controlled. If all else fails, I can just push the button on either switch or if I'm extra lazy I can use the app. The convenience of it far outweighs the occasional blip in the system. Cheers.
@@workshop_edits Thanks for the reply. You've got a smarter Alexa than me. If the vacuum is on it's like I never existed :) Nice shop and stay safe
Was going to ask the same question but you already got to it. What are you using for Alexa? I just us an Echo Dot in my shop.
I’m about tired of all these two car garage people taking about their ‘small’ shops.
It’s not big. It’s a good size but it’s small compared to some of the much larger workshops you see guys have online. It’s all relative, but I think it’s a good indicator of how a 380 square foot space could be built out. Get some rest sleepy man.

Nice shop but dude you must have more money invested in tools than most people have spend on their homes. Did you rob a bank or are you in the drug cartel or something.
Both. First I robbed the bank then used that money to buy my way to the top of the cartel. Been really beneficial for me so far.
