Here is the link.

I spent 20 years in a space just big enough to bump into everything and it is so nice to finally have a space to work in. But I tell you this getting the shop built electric installed and then organize takes about 8 months.

Thom that shop is dandy. Nice job! I really like your assembly table and would like to know more about it. Did you build it from plans? What sort of clamps is it equipped with? It looks really nice. Have fun and work safe! Alec

Nice Shop Thom.

Although, I know me. If I had a dedicated workshop (Rather than a Garage), I'm sure it would never look that nice.

My wife's requirement that she must park in the garage at night provides me the motivation to keep my Garage Shop mostly organized. If it weren't for that, it never would be.

Wow! So that's what my shop might look like when it 'grows' up. One thing stood out- you've got good lighting. As for your tools- way to go! You got some amazing yard sale & Craig's List deals.

Are there any particular items you build? You've got enough clamps to probably build anything.

Thanks for sharing.

The assembly table was just put together from different ideas and pictures from the Internet. The t-tracks will accept most t-bolt type clamps.

I build a variety of items from small projects to large cabinets. I plan to build the bottom area of the assembly table with cabinets and drawers.

Very nice shop and very nice video of it.
I like your narration, the only thing I would have like, is for you to turn off the music as you were recording this video or at least bring the volume down.
It makes your narration much clearer and in case you have to cut a part or do some editing, the music would then show a cut in it.
Anyway, this is my taste, having ringings in my right ear, I hate it when they put music on the background of someone speaking. Sorry for my rant about this but it is appearing in many programs now ... I don't know what producers are thinking when they do this ...
Still you narration was very nice and clear and I appreciated all the details you were giving on each tools.
Thank you very much for that video and again congratulations on your brand new shop.
"Grandiose" is your shop and lucky you for all those tools you found !

Nice shop

I am wanting to get my limited space under control. Right now I'd have to move a lot of stuff in order to "bump into" most things:D

Very nice shop tour. The video sure adds a lot. It's hugh, you must be very happy with it.

For me, it would have been a better tour if we'd seen how you store lumber and other supply items.

Are you in an out building or is it attached to the house?

Thanks again.
