At some point, that top will warp where the gaps are between the shims. If that happens, and you replace the top, I would suggest leveling the legs instead. Find the high spot in the floor, and mark level across the wall. Run all the legs up to it, leveling and shimming as needed. When you put the top back on, it will now be flat on the supports.

Lol i have the same wen air cleaner

What angle did you use? Seems pretty stable jig.

Hey to let you know you take those horizontal shelves down. Take the screws out of them set the fence up to whatever the thickness of the upright board is and run it down the table saw to cut the shelf off. You might lose what’s the thickness of a sawblade times two on the shelf boards.

Well done! I have a small shop as well, I will be implimenting this the save space. It looks clean and very functional!

I will make it myself this week I think. Just got instructions from woodprix and I'm ready for do it :D

Did you leave enough space around the mini-fridge for air circulation ?

Love your humor! Great video and I think I'll make a similar one for our new workshop. Thank you so much.

I just found your channel and after watching 2 of your videos you have a new subscriber with me! Love that Walter is right there making sure you're on task! Keep up the ideas and videos....Great Content!

$349 in Canada and that's not all due to the exchange rate.

I knew that was the reason you hate Festool. These tools work so well for the seasoned professional and the person just getting started in woodwork. Yes Festool is "expensive" but you get what you pay for. I do suggest picking up the basic Festool tools from the start - as in sanders, tracksaw, router.

7:27 Laughed out loud. Nice caption!

Protip re: making cleaning house fun: this can also be solved with a power tool. Beg borow or steal a Stihl BR-800 backpack blower. If it gets blown away, you probably didn't need to have it in the first place. A hundred thousand landscape professionals cannot be wrong!

The most important tip is have a dog…..

205USD hahaha! This thing is 440USD in the UK now. Unfortunately I really needed it for a large refurb job. Lets hope it was worth the money. Big advantage is I already have a Festool dust extractor.

I listened to your video for a few minutes, only because you were banging so many things around. I couldn't understand what you were saying. 1:24

I don’t know why everyone hates sanding. I have always enjoyed it. Even hand sanding didn’t bother me back before I had a ROS or 1/4 sheet sander. I guess there must be something wrong with me.

Dude, lower your saw blade until its just over the thickness of the material. 1, it's much safer, instead of losing a finger you'll just knick them. 2, straighter, smoother cuts. Excellent video, thank you for posting

18V &20V are the same battery. Milwaukee has I believe even secured the patent on the layout (x5 3.6volt lithium ion cells) and everyone else pays them a licensing fee.

Nick, sorry to see you aren't creating video for a year now? Hope you are in good health and are doing well. Your videos are absolutely spit on, your voice over is great. And Walter is a fun addition to see. Hope you can create some videos at some point, I'm sure it's not an easy task though. Take care and have a fantastic 2024.

Im only 5' 2" so i need some ideas on how to nuild vertically, working in a small space and how to access my vertical pieces, again my height. Pulleys?? Spides? I could really use your brain sir, and if anyone else could gove me ideas yes please and thsnk you all in advance

I'm surprised you had to shim the worktop. It's pretty easy to get it all level before you get to that stage. Keep woodworking and improving

Thanks for this video. I was on the fence about spending the money, but you are right, you get what you pay for. I got a WORX for my hobby sanding and burned it out, then a rebuilt Bosch; it died 3 minutes after using. I have lost more time doing research and waiting to get money back. I am going with the Festool. I will keep you posted as I may just be a serial sander killer.

Thanks for the video - very helpful. Also, belly rubs to Walter / he is great!!!

Just watched your video - good job on the project and nice video quality.

Let's go Redwings! 💯 Great video too!

I have the Grizzly G0580 3/4 hp band saw, which seems similar to yours, with even less power. For what it is, I love it. I did three things to make it useful in my shop. 1. I added the Griz riser kit, so it now has full 12" resaw capacity. 2. I replaced the tension knob with a hand crank (Highland Woodworking). 3. I googled Alex Snodgrass and followed his step-by-step bandsaw setup. After doing that, the bandsaw has always tracked beautifully, even with the crappy non-standard blade guide system.

Most floors are not perfectly square and level. Instead of shimming the countertop level most cabinet makers would use a footer and shim that level. This way you are building off a level platform for you cabinets to rest on. Shimming up the countertop like you did throws off the alignment of the cabinet and raises visual correction of floors lack of level from your toes upto a height where it becomes visually more obvious. While your method allowed you to utilize the full height between the countertop and the floor most people find having drawers or containers(systainers) raised a few inches easier to access.

Bravo Zulu

I have to say you've done a great job with your space! I really liked your miter saw station and the sliding hood. I've seen the design before but never seen one that was in a slot that you could raise. That was really cool and inspiring. And having your tool stored just above it was a nice use of space. I am in the process of trying to rearraigned my 12x16 shop with a Craftsman 113 model tablesaw. But struggling to decide how best to position it with my 48x45 workbench/outfeed table. Those two together take about half the space in the shop! Currently, I have to move things around like that little game we had as kids where you had to shift all the squares around to complete the puzzle... move this one down, move these two over and shift another left... then slide this one down and... on and on. Most everything is on castors but it's all in the way. I don't know if it's better to put everything against the wall and pull it out as needed, OR, place the tablesaw and workbench in the middle and everything else against the wall. Anyway, I'm rambling... You've done a great job with your shop layout! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Nick, Thanks for your input. I think you're doing a great job with your videos, though I must admit that I clicked the link especially because I saw the photo of "Walter" and I am a total dog tragic. Your presentation is excellent and informative and there are many things which I'm sure I'll use in my shop. I liked the "Voiceover" on one of the other videos and find that hearing a description while watching a build is the most informative way to absorb information. With my new subscription I look forward to seeing the next informative offering from you and Walter. Keep up the good work mate and big hugs to "Walter." Best wishes from Australia!!

Love it!

Great ideas and video. Thank you. I'm thinking of doing something like this in my small workshop. Do you experience a need for doors (or something similar) to avoid dust coming into your drawers?

👏🏻👍🏼🫶🏼

Compared to my small shop in the UK, you are working in a barn. Try working in a 9 foot by 14 foot shop that has to double as storage space.

You must have gone to the Derrick Zoolander school for kids who want to do math Gooder, go wings!

My problem is spiders. Any storage solution i come up with gets utilized by the little web spinning demons.

It looked 100% like you biscuited the wrong side of the first part of the front finish?! 11:40

Sound is good. Like your vibe and your shop

Nice to see someone make "shop" cabinets/counters. Seems like far too many people get caught up on building stuff that's better and costlier than the cabinets in 98% of kitchens. Yours look good and a are functional. Not to mention lower cost. Which let's you put money towards more important items. Thanks for the video!

This ain't a small workshop. This is rather large for most people...

Great project! Way better use of the space!

A man doing work in sandals while wearing socks and uttering the phrase "came in clutch". Good instructional content, but sometimes the viewer has to suppress mild disappointment and watch on.

fire is a big hazard in any workshop, hence planning is needed: fire extnguishers but also a garden water hose but in that case care must be given to electrical wiring, it runs on the floor and will get in contact with water...an overall breaker for the whole workshop would be required. Any ideas as fire exting. will last 30-40 seconds and the workshop is full of dried wood and sawdust. what would you recommend ?

👍

Such low volume throughout the video, until the sander when it blows out your eardrums 😂 Otherwise, nice and tidy job!

Work bench came out great..👍

Awesome! Gave me an idea for my garage shop

Great ideas. Simple yet effective
