I just reorganized my shop in order to run a heavy up for an induction forge. Love the way you approach upgrading spaces.

Sure, $3 and over 1000 hours of experience got you there

Those silver cabs would be good storage in the clean room. Resin, filament, electronics...

Please bring back the “hey I’m Bob and I like to make stuff” intro - it’s very unsettling not having it! 😊

I dont know who you are but I am going to use those scraps

After 15 minutes I shut it off. Just to much talking about nothing. Love your stuff, best of luck to you.

Dude, you say so much, yet it's so little. Your sub count is a scam.

How about a tiling sled for the xcarve?

Epoxy floors. Move the air compressor outside, put in a central air supply piping with quick connects

Thank you for sharing this whole process, Bob! Believe it or not, I started doing the same thing to my shop just yesterday. First came feeling the urge to change my small and cluttered shop.I started by sorting out all the containers full of 'junk', clearing out all things that really don't belong in the shop anyway. Next will be making a new stand for my contractor table saw (although leveling the concrete floor might come before this). We'll see where this will take me, but watching you going through a similar process is helpful!

Bob is awesome. Can't wait to see this come together.

Bob have you investigated what solutions a factory workshop can use for dust enclosure in work areas ? I've seen industrial enclosures made of PVC strip curtains that looked awesome. Benefits : no masonry needed, ability to reconfigure the workshop easily, and as it's transparent you're not missing on natural lighting in your shop.

A big organization thing for me if you have multiple work areas, get duplicate tools, dedicated for those areas, money permitting. If you find yourself in the electronics room needing a wrench for a pcb standoff and you have to get it from the garage, the electronics area needs a wrench. Helps keeps tools from getting scattered about and keeps your workflow and brain uncluttered

Different? Oh you do not have 60 hand planes and even more molding planes in your shop? No rack of 40 saws? When imagining storage room for myself I always repeat the idea of two or more hallways with shelves on both sides. Like those racks that move but the moving for space is not necessary. I hope you make this a series and cover the boring stuff to give us all motivation for drywall and other jobs that can suck. Double doors for the wood shop would be amazing. The doors in grocery stores and Target. Thin but durable plastic double doors with windows to see people coming. Big rubber astragal on both edges.

Omagad, Bob's gone full Marie Kondo. [cover hears] Nonononoo, I caaan't heaaar youuu... Ok, I'm jesting. That's a great video for lean organisation of a workshop. I just dread having to do the same.

30:48 anyone else looking at the lones on the wall in the background?? 😂

regarding the Lego scenario, I would most definitely be the type of person to try and find a way to sort them into both color and function separately lol

And hence the real issue of organizing a shop or garage! It’s a vicious cycle and when one change is made it usually negatively impacts another lol. A couple suggestions, more cabinets for custom storage and paint! I think painting is one inexpensive way to make your storage and what not seem more cohesive and organized. Something about cabinets, workbenches, etc all being a constant color seems to make them almost disappear 🫥 in away. A guy I think that you’d get inspiration from is Hooked On Wood here on YT. I like how he uses ply to build up benches, etc. but he paints or uses colored mdf products to keep a consistent tone inside his shop and it’s so well organized. His drawer system is pretty slick too. But I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoy these very videos because my garage is an absolute hoarding nightmare because it’s too easy to add tools yet very difficult to organize and find time to build to organize like in my instance. I’ve got to start somewhere though and these do help quite a bit. I have to add as others asked where your team and business are, I miss these types of videos. I’ve watched for years now and my favorite are these in your shop building practical stuff although the occasional Star Wars inspired builds are helpful too. My Brother is Star Wars obsessed and a few years ago I made your comment shaped shelves for him that he absolutely loves so thank you!

Could just buy a Hercules stand that’s safe for all finishes including nitro and is also adjustable

You japanese toolbox owning ... .. ... I have the same blue toolbox

The wood shop definitely looks so much cleaner now! I forget who said this but in their miter station build they had the t-track imbedded on the work surface and not in an extension fence (they didn’t build any) because the only fence they need is the fence built into the saw because it needs to be square to the saw blade.

I'd encourage you to do a bit of digging into Better Help's business practices and reconsider them as a sponsor if you can afford to. There have been some worrying allegations directed at them recently. Love the videos and keep up the good work!

So inspiring!

Bent's Woodworking just puts a new video with his own tips and tricks how to organize a woodworking shop.

I have been working on something similar. My first step is getting rid of everything I no longer want or need. Donating what I can (Habitat For Humanity getting the bulk), recycling/scrapping what I cannot donate, trashing what I cannot recycle.

Great video Bob. It gave me a lot to think about in the current re-organization of my 2-car garage/shop (which still has to hold 1 car...). I recently sold the 3-piece former bedroom dresser furniture that was my entire drawer space, but then I had no organization to store all the different categories of 'stuff' I was mostly keeping in those 14 drawers, like glue guns and glue; caulk and adhesive tubes; Kreg stuff; gloves; sandpaper; tape (all kinds). So I bought a bunch of those Sterilite tote boxes of different sizes to fit all the stuff. Once I get a new work bench there will be space for some of it, but I think a lot of these tote boxes will be permanent storage. As to planning the garage layout, I've taken the measurements of everything as you did, but I'm not into 3-D modeling on a computer, so mine will be 2-D, but twice - once for an overhead floor layout view, and another one for 'wall view''. They'll be 3 of those. I'll used poster board to cut out the various shapes of the items. Scale will be 1/2" = 1 foot, done on 11' x 17" graph paper.

Bert and Earnie method..lol

One great thing about having beaches, at the same height and on wheels, is that you dont need dedicated outfeed. Just wheel over the bench to the tool or vice versa.

As far as storage I've always wanted to build those rolling shelves that you see at hospitals and other places that they store records in if that makes sense.

remember he had a office or studio somewhere else

What a big difference 👏 😳

I sort my Legos by color but I separate out a lot of special function stuff. Tires/hubs, minifigs, minifig accoutrements, tiles, etc.

Stacking all of those organizers is a bad idea. Having one in each cubby is a better way to go, because inevitably, the thing you need will (almost) always bee toward the bottom and then you have to remove all the containers stacked on top to get to the one you want. Cubbies bypass all of that.

Thanks Bob. The small museum I work at is going through this very process; your worksheets look helpful.

Thank you Bob. It's time I get my shop in order.

Very nice Bob

Calling and ESP an Arduino is an insult to the ESP.

Maybe you should have wall mounted points in you shop for a camera that way you dont need to use a tripod. And it can give you a consistent shot each time. Less thinking about if something is in frams and more hit record and continue to make things. Maybe the camera can be on a small arm for adjustments or angles.

I love watching you back into 5S. Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.

Extraneous TVs tend to influence a lot of design decisions, I think. Good on you for getting rid of it - it was like more than an inch thick anyway, so it's not worth keeping anyway. XD

I'm only 1:20 into the video, and I'm already excited to see the rest. I've been going through the same loops in my space, and need to figure out how to get it done.

@getting rid of stuff yeah, i had some leftover material I was going to do a project with that I realized I was never going to do so I tossed it last month. Turns out I have a project it would have been ideally suited for and getting more is going to be annoyingly pricey I suspect (the material was free from a few jobs back)

You look tired man.

Please consider a different/better sponsor Bob 😄❤️

I will throw out my method. I have a one car garage shop. So maximizing space is important. And i do alot, work on cars, cnc, laser cutter, woodworking. And 3d printing and model building but thats inside the house. Anyways, you dont want a storage room, they always turn into a large junk drawer. Your storage for your various aspects of adhd fueled shop needs to be next to what its used for. Like my miter saw stand is also a lumber cart, like up to 8ft lumber and slabs. I the end of it open and three tiers. Front if cart is cabinet doors with couple inchs of inside storage. Cnc(4ft by 4ft) cart has 1/3rd of it is my dust collection compressor ect with the front of it is drawers with bits and all that. Other 2/3s of the bottom is storage for up to 3ftx4ft sheet goods standing up. Laser i have all the materials in that area. Ect. The more you try to toss all storage together the more cluttered it ends up. Same goes with tools, if its needed for whatever i keep the tools needed by it.

soooo satisfying. love spending time wth this guy in his thought process.

How did you get me to watch 34 minutes of cleaning and organizing YOUR space when I should have been using that time to clean and organize MY space. Well played, sir.

I was able to receive 48’ of free shelving from an auto parts store and have spent the last rainy several weeks getting my 2,000 square foot shop organized. I wish this had come out before I started! Absolutely love it.

How do YOU know I watch Adam Savage ? :p

the timing on this could not have been better. since i retired and sold my old house, the place i live now has NO real space i can use as a shop. i basically have a little less than a one car garage space that i can use but i have to make things mobile and very space efficient. this gives me a LOT to think about on how i can transform the space to make it both a shop and a spot to park a car. challenge accepted!
