From an older guy that started small and grew it to everything I ever wanted, I can just say Own It, Enjoy It, and Make It everything YOU want it to be. I don't know you, but I can say you should be proud of yourself. In my commercial building, I did everything with conduit or emt I guess they say (I'm no electrician) and every CNC, Manual Mills, lathes and All fab equipment had there own disconnects. Even had them to all the welders, saws, benders etc., and I would assume you would set up a garage like yours with emt and disconnects along with a sub panel from your main panel to keep all your shop electric container there and a single point of failure. Great job and attitude TJ....Keep it simple and stay strong. Remember this, as bad as it seems, you even have to charge your buddies for the work you do, or it's just a hobby....
Brilliant! Love seeing the birthplace of my incoming Overland Sport. A real door will really be an improvement. Stay healthy. Stay productive. Stay happy.
Brilliant 👏 I recently moved into my dream house and garage! To see you make the most of the space like this is is Brilliant. And your attitude is Brilliant also 👌
Nice shop. I have my shop in a single garage too so understand your constraint. I recommend lining your walls with plywood instead of sheet rock. So much better to attach things too and much more robust. Also running the new electrical in conduit will be better. Much easier to change later if you get more equipment or move things about.
Nicely done. As far as the electrical, check out how Frank Howarth did it in his shop. He did plywood, but drywall would work. Did a 4 ft tall row at the bottom, then a 12 inch strip which he put all his outlets behind, then the rest of the wall. That way when he needs to move Electrical, it just requires pulling one section of the 12 inch strip out, do the work, and put it back. Drywall you would have to leave it untaped probably, but at some point it's a shop.
Looks good, love the dream! Embrace the idea of the shop's size and hone your plan about being efficient in there, I think you will enjoy it. I'm voting for surface mounting the wiring. More flexible that way as you morph into the perfect set up and add equipment. I don't know about your vacuum on the blast cabinet, but if it's as noisy as the one mine came with years ago, I will recommend looking into using a small squirrel cage fan instead. I know it sounds like it wouldn't do the job, but it's made blasting for me a real pleasure instead of ear muffed up screaming noise and works a treat. Just throwing that out there.
@@tj.schwarz Hope so, u have already what i am trying to do.. not with knives but something different. Looking for a House with big Garage at the moment :P have a good time! Quality matters only!
Love it. Awesome space, well put together. Your TW90 is the reason I went with the TW90. My shop's a new work in progress so I got a lot of ideas from checking out yours. Of course, I'm just a hobbyist, and a new one at that. *Your sunglasses are on the floor under the stool. ;)
Looking good TJ! My stuff all fits in one side of my two car garage so I know your pain. Looking forward to seeing more about the new mill. I subscribed.
Instead of sheet rock I used sheet exterior wood siding. This is more durable, easy to washdown with a hose and looks nice. (I may be a little late with this comment, but others may benefit or you can put this over your drywall.)
You need external conduit for a number of reasons. Aside from flexibility, you dont want to burn your house down. Conduit will contain and snuff fire out. But you have to plan it good. I made several mistakes when planning mine. The first was I had no idea id be adding a 3 phase converter and that threw a monkey wrench in everything I had planned. So I have spaghetti now but, everything is wired correctly. I would also recommend using as subpanel and not going directly off your house panel. On my bench area I have 2 outlets with 2 120v outlets each. On those I wired each individual outlet into one dedicated breaker. The rest of the shop including lighting isnt like this. I have 1 120 powering 2 outlets because the load on them is too insignificant to warrant dedicated breakers. Also, Im using all metal conduit both rigid and flex. The flex is generally for above ceiling and the rigid for below. I also used the heaviest wiring I could get.
Nice shop! I like your layout and how you made good use of your small space. I had the same electrical predicament and ended up installing conduit on the outside for the reason you pointed out so that I could easily add outlets as needed. If you do use conduit make sure to use emt conduit per electrical code.
Thank you! I was also considering putting up galvanized corrugated tin along the bottom 48" of the wall. That way you could just pull a few screws to access your wiring while having a nice finished look.
@@tj.schwarz Nice. I also installed metal roofing on my interior walls so I didn't have to worry about sparks or water ruining drywall. I was a bit worried about the acoustics and it being too loud but so far it is not too bad. Also all my outlets are 48" off the floor so I don't have to bend over and I can put stuff tight against the wall and not directly against outlets.
Howdy Mr. Schwartz. Liked your shop tour video. Having gone through this process myself setting up a small shop (8' X 18') Here are a couple of things that I have not regretted doing that is cost effective and versatile. First of all I would not use drywall for your walls. I used (OSB) board and as a added protection primed and painted it. You could use plywood but more expensive. This way you can nail or screw anything to this stuff. Second, I definitely would use electrical conduit on the outside of the walls for the reasons you stated. Third, I would recommend using a French cleat system for hanging shelfs and cabinets on the walls. This makes it easy to remove, replace and relocate. ( A bunch of info for this on TH-cam) Fourth, I made my own cabinets using the Pocket Hole Joinery system but did not glue them together. The screws hold everything together just fine without the glue. This makes it easy to take apart and repurpose the wood for another project or modification. These are just some of the things I've done that have worked for me. Good luck!
In our garage-shop is in DFW area. Just refinished going on two years ago. Maybe some of these might be useful or spark ideas: 1) was room-finished SRock, no insulation (except wall joining house). Ripped all Sheetrock & insulated. Insulated ceiling to R40. 2) made removable covers for 8” tall horizontal chases at waist height where electrical could be run in future. The chases run to/from bottom of circuit boxes and around the shop as far as possible. Looking at the walls you’d never know the chases were there. 3) had commercial electricians do the work. Installed all plugs at/above waist height (220s, 110s). Wired in an ac/heater 4) installed chases for Ethernet cable (wired Gige) 5) installed a Trane mini-split. It’s quite oversized for area (space equivalent to 4 car garage). Not too worried as it has a variable compressor (most times you don’t want to oversize AC a lot with many mfgs units). At 100+ deg outside can cool room off to comfortable (80-82) in about an hour. If want to bring materials and equip to 74deg, takes about 11-12 hours (for tolerances). Never had heat out there before, really enjoyed it this last winter, especially. Talked with Mitsubishi/Trane about changing filter types or adding extra. They recommended not to, just clean the fan every 6mos to a year. Jury is still out on that one. 6) installed 5/8” SRock (could have done 1/2” for non living area adjoining-walls, but stuck w 5/8”). Over this applied 1/4” smooth surface hardboard that was primed and then painted with SWilliams water-based bright white semigloss epoxy paint. Easy wall to clean. After 20 years w dirt catching textured beat-up sheetrock, wanted something a bit easier to clean and more ding resistant. 7) retro fitted all fluorescent lights w ballastless LEDs - Werker 25-32w 5000k lights. 8) insulated the metal garage door w 1.5” of Thermasheath-3 urethane foam, painted, bright white semigloss epoxy paint 9) painted ceiling SWilliams semigloss bright white non-epoxy paint 10) put metal flip up outlet covers (Home Depot) on all outlets to help keep dirt/debris out 11) outside weatherstripping around garage door 12) garage door spring was old, so had two commercial springs installed and door rebalanced for opener 13) built a custom dust collector (Franken-Lector)… we do quite a bit of woodwork and Renshape (tooling board) milling 14) installed a 60g ultra quiet air compressor w air dryer (we do resin casting). Still need to finish the copper lines. It’s a comfortable place to work now. Didn’t put a finish on the floor, haven’t figured out the direction there. Currently just use cheap interlocking exercise pads from Lowe’s at strategic locations. May do epoxy under the mill/lathe. If so, it won’t be textured epoxy, too hard to sweep from what I’ve run across.
@@John-ik2eg Hey neighbor, it’s Texas so anyone within 200 miles is a neighbor ;-) We’re a prototype shop and we make our own line of product. No Haas here, yet. Irony is their “Haas outlet” is about 10-12 minutes away from us. We get 5th Axis from them, they also carry Jet & Powermatic. Now that Grosjean doesn’t drive for them anymore, probably fewer used F1 parts on display in the lobby. You running one of the mini-mills? Drove by Titan’s new place, he’s got a nice setup there.
@@John-ik2eg We’re north, Plano, McKinney area. Cool on your HAAS, is that about a 25-30hp class machine? so you’ve got multi phase to your shop or running a phase converter? When we purchased, priority was to get up and running quickly and as reliably as possible. Footprint, height, power, and air-cleaning were some of our other considerations. Honestly, I also didn’t feel I had enough background to rebuild/fix up a machine. To this day youre the only one I’ve run into here in the immediate area that’s succeeded in that, so much respect for doing so. Plus, Boss-lady can kill with her little finger (literally) so when she says “no hole in ceiling”, there no hole in the ceiling (yet). All things come with time, though ;-). Started with a manual drill-mill back around 2011. We started looking at CNC back In 2015ish, first purchase was a CNC router to get our feet wet with toolpathing. Still use it for templates. We had already been using Rhino3D so used it and a couple of different cam packages along the way. Still use Rhino 6 (we do a lot of organic shapes) but are using F360 more and more. We currently don’t do high production runs on steel or unobtainium. Our upgrade path forward is likely more towards higher precision on small parts. Will likely entertain investing a bit in trying heat-shrink tooling (DMG-Mori tooling possibly? Hardinge? TBD) before a new machine.
@@John-ik2eg That’s why I don’t live in Lockhart, Black’s would be the death of me. Sonny Bryant’s is pretty darned good and a lot closer. Neither come close to the shack/pit w wood chips on a dirt floor I grew up going to over in Longview. I run into a lot of folks w lasers (many bought into the get-rich-quick sales schtict the sales guys use) and engravers. Lot of CNC routers nowadays, not so many garage CNC mills/lathes. Are you on linked-in? We should probably move to DM.
Nice to have found your channel, we are a watchmaker home based machine shop, we have the larger version of that GREAT Skat-Blast media blasting unit we love ours. We enjoyed you sharing your shop layout and hey moving in and organizing even upgrading are an on going work in progress in our case maybe yours as well, trust us we have been in the machine shop business since 1993. Hoping you enjoy the Tormack, we see the tool changer on it, that sure is good. Hey do you have a heat treat oven for your blades, our you send them out just learning here? Watch us, we do all of our electrical in-house, it is all conduit exposed all the way here Enjoyed, Lance & Patrick.
Thanks for the comment! I send my knives out for heat treat. Perhaps someday I'll do it in house, but industrial furnaces are so efficient and give you more consistent results.
Really nice shop. I'm interested in seeing where you go from here. This is the first video of yours I've watched, Nice. But that will change, I subscribed to your channel and will be looking out for your videos. I know what it's like being a small TH-cam creator, I have 78 subscribers after 15 months and 50 videos. Good Luck and thanks for sharing.
Seems to be enough room there for your equipment. With smart organiazation one can get lot's of stuff into a 1 car garage) Personally I would had finished and painted the walls before anything else (that said, there might be good reasons why it has had to wait, that we are not aware of) Anyway, thumbs up.
Nice job...that’s a pretty damn well equipped one car garage. Also, it’s always cool to see someone trying to live their dream and make their own way. Best of luck for success in the future! 🤙 I’ve been thinking about making the jump to a tormach cnc machine. Curious about roughly how much it’s cost to get the cnc setup you have with the tooling included? Any options you wish you would’ve gotten now that you have some time with the machine? Or, any options you’ve figured out that you probably didn’t need? I’m on a pretty tight budget so I’d like to be able to get only exactly what I’ll need in the beginning since I know getting into cnc will probably be a big hit financially.
The drywall is completed now. I have 200 amp service, which is enough to power my now two CNC mills, air compressor, heater etc all at the same time absolutely no problem.
Love your videos, I'm trying to get into knife making myself. I was wondering in particular about that tumbler you have, what brand and model is it? I've been looking around for one of those, but I don't know what size I need, (I'm gonna be making fixed blades about 9 inches long). Would love to know the size of that one you have.

Don't put up sheet rock . Use yellow tongue floor panels or OSB. They are thick enough to hang shelves and brackets off. More storage space 😉

Nice machine shop but why don't you put up the drywall?
I already did! You can see that in a later video.
I would go with conduit I did my shop behind the wall now I limited to where a put machine 😢😢
Leave the garage door an get a mini split AC. You’ll regret removing the garage door.
Conduit! It is much easier and convenient for a commercial & industrial shop.
Nice setup. I second the conduit . Do you have a website?
Thank you. Sure do! I've overhauled it and will be launching the new version at the same url this weekend/next week. SchwarzKnives.com
Mini split HVAC is way better over window unit

Really...how much does a couple sheets of drywall cost? Your home prolly has only 125A service so how do you expect to power all those fancy things?
