The shop layout is coming along nicely. It’s so important to be flexible and review the layout after a few months use. Cheers 👍😎🇦🇺
You go that right! I've already had a couple of things I want to change, just by working on 1 project so far! :) the only thing that will be constant is change! Thanks for watching John!
Man, that really is an improvement! The renovation turned out great, and the layout seems well thought out.
Thanks so much ctfleming! Thanks for watchign and hope you have a good weekend!
Another great idea.....make to-scale cutouts of each tool so you can move them around on your drawing...
That is an excellent idea! That is actually what JKM does with his layout! Thanks so much for watching and commenting Breslaj4!
Looking good, nice to see you starting to move in to the new digs.
Thanks so much Pat! Love the new space. Having heat this time of year, is such a luxury. Totally amazing!
Great video...great shop! Blessings!!!
Thanks so much Joe! I appreciate it and thanks for watchign!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching woodturningwithjohnmarro!
Great video in concept. Saw some issues such as posts may get in the way using the table saw when cross cutting a full sheet of ply near the ends. But the biggest issue I see is getting from the front of the planer to the back. Have to walk around the jointer or table saw. No matter how big a shop is its still hard to setup. Definitely get those tools on wheels.
It is so funny you mentioned those couple of items, those are the two things that concerned me the most too. I already ran into some problems with the table saw and the jointer planer set up, and I'm going to be rearranging those soon! Thanks so much for watching Darren!
Agree 💯. You need more room to navigate around planer. Don't feel too constrained to set all these pieces of equipment up in parallel.
@@gz4058 You guys are on it. I've already made some adjustments! :)
Great job! Your space is awesome. I don’t have quite that much space, so I’ve put everything on wheels and can arrange and move them all around as needed. I’ve also done similar layout work, except I’ve cut out the sizes to scale and moved them around on the scaled full drawing.
On two non-related issues - kudos to your being mentioned in the “Start Making” CZcams video as a top woodworker channel. You were mentioned with some really top notch channels, too! Way to go.
Secondly, whenever I click on one of your affiliate links (mostly Amazon) it sends me to my browser, not offering to open in Amazon app. I’ve bought several things you’ve recommended, but you most didn’t get anything out of it. Glad you’re being noticed by other makers. Happy Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much Michael! I was completely shocked at start making's video. Was really grateful for that. his little bit on "burt" had me rolling, that guy is truly hilarious. I've been watching him for a bit too and really respect his channel!
You are so correct on those wheels. I'm going to see if there are any black friday deals anywhere for those. Have a great thanksgiving and thanks again for commenting and watching Michael!
Nice first layout. Couple questions and recommendations. Look at your layout - When using your planer - how are you going to move from front to back - are you going around the jointer? Maybe think about putting the Table saw and outfeed back where they were and put the jointer on the other side. Now you can get around both and use the outfeed table to stack lumber for both. When you are using the bandsaw, is anyone going to be bringing in stuff through the big door? If not think about moving it closer to the door opening. This will give you more infeed and out feed on the bandsaw. I can't wait to see the shop when you get it set up
You are sooooo correct TetraCNC! I already encountered this problem when working on a project this week. I'm definitely going to be rearranging the planer CNC area. It was a pain in my but having to walk all around my jointer just to get back to the infeed of the planer. Great catch. I'm also going to move my table saw just a bit to the right to give me more space on the cutting side. Thanks for watching and commenting! :)
I like the island type layout. thats how i have my two car garage setup. dosen't take miles of dust collection pipe.
You are so correct Rod! Saves on dust collection hose for sure. Have you looked into those mag ports. That's what I use and it's a life savor, just attach/unattach and move on to the next item. Really worth checking out if you don't have them. Kind of pricy but well worth it!
the one"s Izzy made? he put out a video today ,sold to mag switch. I havent but was thinking today they would work great for my tools not in the island.@@FlynndoggWoodwork
@@rodpotts2666 I'm not sure if izzy made them or what, but I wouldn't be surpised. It's a great product! You should definitely check them out.
Great idea for layout. Just an idea Harbor freight has a budget friendly mobile base. I put one on my bandsaw it worked great and didn't break the bank!
Oh nice! I"m going to check that out. That never crossed my mind. Thank you so much for sharing richard!
I do the same thing with graph paper but I also cut out the shapes of the things I'm putting in the area. That way I have scale sized pieces of each thing as I move it around the room.
Excellent Idea a9ball1 That would be the way to do it, and that is what Jonathon KM suggest as well, I'm just a little to lazy I guess! But now that i have set things in place, I need to erase and redraw things so I would have been better suited to cut things out!
I'm looking forward to the day that I have to figure this out. not much planning or space for that matter in my 4x8 shed of a workshop. most of my stuff is just done outside. most of the tools are stored in he entryway of the house too lol. the downside to that is my work is stopped half the year living in the midwest.
Oh man, I hear you. That is 100% why I did the renovation. My woodworking was shut down in the cold of winter and the hot hot heat of summer. I get it. Thanks for watching and commenting Nathan!
Your shop is just a couple of feet larger in each direction than my garage is (minus the office). I only have 2 posts to contend with vs. your 4. Anything I put in the center will have to roll out of the way - either to the center of the garage or to the walls. This is a fantastic place to start designing my own buildout. Thank you for posting this.
Glad you liked it Landon! I am really amazed that I never tried doing this layout thing before. It was really a great tool to use! I'm since encountered a couple of issues but nothing that can't be fixed quickly! Thanks again for watching and best of luck to you!
I would move the table saw closer to the poles on the left so you can walk through to the out feed on the planer 👍
I 100% agree with you, Already ran into a problem with that! I think I'm going to move the planer and jointer somewhere or at least over a bit and move my table saw to the left! Thanks for the great advice! And thanks for watching baddog!
I would think the feed area of some of these tools could overlap, as you are the only one using each tool and I doubt you would be able to use two tools at once safely.
@@pazmaniaoh6341 great point pazmaniaoh! You could definitely do that as long as you weren't using both tools at the same time. Excellent point!
I started with a 2 car garage and a few tools. I had enough room to have line dancing classes if I wanted. Then I slowly accumulated more tools and tried to find places for them as they came in. Now I in the process of re-arranging everything to make a more efficient workflow as well as making it more of an inviting place to hang out.
First, I am excited by the prospect of the the finished product, but that excitement is often tempered by the daunting task and overwhelming aspect of it all. Overthinking and rethinking...
You too?
OMG you hit the nail on the head! It is exteremely daunting. I first need to do a purge, and get rid of some stuff. I have so many things I never use and I need to just part ways with them. It really is overwhelming though, don't know where to start! Thanks for sharing and watching mrscience! Really appreciate it!
Great video, and thank you for the timing being so perfect for my situation. I’m currently in the process of moving my tools into a 25’x21’ dedicated workshop. Seeing your thought process (with a hat tip to Jonathan Katz-Moses) has both reinforced some workflow ideas I had, and made me think of things I might otherwise have neglected. I have a feeling I’m going to watch this one a few times 👍🏼👍🏼
That's so awesome Brendan! Best of luck to you on your new shop! If I had any recommendations from my design it is don't block off your planer like I did. I'm moving it, so that I can easily move back and forth between the infeed and outfeed. Thanks so much for watching and best of luck to you! :)
@@FlynndoggWoodwork thanks for replying and for the advice! I currently don’t own a jointer or planer, so I’ve actually been eyeing up the Grizzly combination jointer/planer model G0959 due to only needing infeed and outfeed space for a single machine, plus the 12” capacity and the helical cutter head.
@@brendangrimace That's awesome. Grizzly is a brand I've always been very impressed with on prices. I haven't owned one just yet, but I've been eyeballing their lathe as well as a belt sander they make. You really can't beat their prices!
Great video so great to see you start setting up the new shop and getting your tools in place. I’m sure it will take you a few month of working in the new space and moving things around to get things just where you want them. It will be cool to see how it turns out and what kind of dust collection you get ?
Thanks so much Jim. Already made e a couple adjustments to the shop already. Really need to get through all my old tools and figure out where stuff needs to go. I think one of my first projects will be to build some cabinets etc. for the main wall. Dust collection is a great question. I’ve always been intrigued by Oneida but never tried it out.
New sub here. The main issue I see is the planer location. When you load the material, you then have to walk around the jointer to catch it. I would move it to the other side of the jointer and then move the miter saw to the office wall.Then rearrange the rest as needed. You don't really need a great deal of space for off cuts on the miter saw. You have 16 feet back there.
Great job on a good topic!
Oh my goodness Bob! You hit the nail on the head. Already having problems with that issue. Working on a project now and I will definitely have to rework that area. Excellent comment! Thanks for subbing and watching! :)
Like your approach of getting shop equipment preset for production. I agree your already set in most cases concerning tweaks and having locking casters under your equip/benches. I would try and keep clear floor space on both sides between saw and those 4 poles or at least the side your use to walking around. get that smartwatch out and in this case lower those steps as long as the wife don't see! Will you be adding floor mats/ or sit stands once you get things in place? I use stools/ sitstands alot in my shop at my age! Probably cuts production down a bit but they keep me in the shop longer! Great video, very happy for you. Hope you and your family have a Happy Thanksgiving Mr. Flynndogg!
Thanks so much lespaulguitarman. Great great point. I really want to add some anti fatigue mats. I've never had those before and with my concrete floors it feels like I ran a 1/2 marathon everytime i leave the barn! you are also so correct with the stools. I currently have two and I want more. I think I could probably use about 4 total in this area. Makes everything so much easier. Thanks for sharing and watching!
One other thing - if you don’t use the drum sander and the router table at the same time, you could combine the overlapped space.
That's a great point. My drum sander is one of those tools that gets used once in a while, so that I think is a great idea. Just stack them next to each other. Thanks for sharing michael!
When finished that is going to be one nice shop. I am very jealous.
I understand your thinking about the placement of your machines. I do have questions. Did you consider the direction of your material flow? For example, wood coming out of the jointer is at the back end of your shop. Then the infeed of the planer should be at the outfeed of the jointer. So, the flow is back to the front side of the shop.
Another question I have is the breakdown of sheet goods. By putting the table saw in the middle of the shop you have to haul the sheet goods through the shop. Unless you intend to break down sheet goods and large rough-cut pieces with your track saw.
One thought, based on the initial design experience I have had with ships, is the use of false floors (decks on a ship). Considering the height of your shop and the 'wasted' space, what if you had a false floor? Using engineered wooden I-beams 3.5" width x 16" depth you could create usable space to run electric cable, compressed air, and dust collection ducting while allowing for a plywood floor which would be better on the legs and dropped tools. A 4'x8' could be cut into 2'x2' pieces making access and replacement easy.
Boy you hit the nail on the head with your two observations Robert! The Placement of my table saw and the jointer/planer placement are things that I'm already thinking about rearranging. I was making a project this week and realized that I didn't have any space to go back and forth between the infeed and outfeed, it was so annoying. I also have decided I'm moving the table saw a to the right a little bit to give it more room on the cutting side. Great observations and thanks for sharing!
I love the idea of the false floor! That is something I may very well consider once I get everything in a spot where I like it. Great idea!
Ha! my "workshop" is so small that there's nowhere near the suggested space for the table saw alone.
The scale of American workshops is so different to mine (and many in the UK) I reckon I'd get agoraphobia and need GPS to find my way across yours.
Am I jealous of your new shop? Of course I am!
Haha! Thank you for making me laugh this morning Mark! I totally get it. This is definitely what they call in the United States a "Cadillac Problem" to have. Thank you so much for watching!
I noticed there's no assembly table. Or do you use your table saw's outfeed table for that? (That's what I do.) And I'll be interested to see your plans for keeping hand tools (pegboard, maybe?), power tools, and battery charging.
Yes, That is one of my primary assembly tables but those two huge tables that are filled with junk used to be where I assembled things. I would like to repurpose the hardware from those and make a true assembly table in the near future. I would like to try and do some french cleats down the road, but Haven't gotten there yet. Great questions! :) And thanks for watchign Scotty!
Hi Dog, the only thing you might want to consider is the lack of space between your table saw, jointer and planner. Looks like you have to travel all the way around all three no matter which one you are using. Timothy
You are sooooo correct Timothy! Already ran into that problem working on a project yesterday. That will definitely be modified. Not quite sure yet, but It isn't working the way it is. Thank you so much for watching and commenting!
Still waiting on the comment about the scribe ruler if it’s actually accurate to say incra tiny T Bryan thanks again and hopefully you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hey Michael! Ooops I forgot about that, thank you for reminding me. Yes! I did look at mine and I did not see any issues at all! Thanks for reminding me and Happy Thanksgiving to you as well! :)
I appreciate the feedback back guess I’m gonna pull the trigger if it’s not accurate I’m blaming you my man lol! Bryan I’m a sucker for measuring devices for some reason so with that addiction I definitely can’t go buy a bunch of woodpecker tools as I do own a few 1281 641 tablesaw alignment gauge but I do love me some incra tools for sure! And with your latest video guess I’m buy the 32” going make t square as well thanks for helping me spend more money as when we die we can’t take $ with us anyway lol!
@@michaelnorman5640 I'll take the heat if it doesn't work out, i don't think you will be disappointed though. Love the 1281, and 641 (which is my favorite!)
You didn’t leave yourself any room to walk around the planer to feed and catch stock. That probably should have been added to one side. The good thing is, it’s mobile, so you can move it in front of your table saw and use that to catch it. This may require lowering or raising your planer cart a couple inches… I couldn’t quite tell from the video where the outfeed table height was in relation to the table saw.
You hit the nail on the head! I actually have. A video coming out where I’m building a gift for my kids school and I ran into this very problem! I’ve since temporarily moved things around to make it easier, but This layout is definitely a work in progress!
Damn, the 16 feet total makes sense for us buying stock at 8 feet. That is frustrating because even in a big shop it is difficult. Prioritizing most used tools like table saw. Wheeled carts for the rest. This stuff just leads to insanity.
I hear you! I've already ran into a few problems with this layout and I'm going to need to modify it just after a couple of days. I guess It is just a matter of trial and error!
You’ll want to have 16’ to the blade on one side of your miter saw…..moulding comes in 16’ lengths
Great point! Thanks for sharing and watching!
Dogg, man, before we comment on your awesome newly renovated shop, can we ask you a favor? We would like for you to check out one of our friend's channels called Startmaking (woodworking)? Mark is a huge fan of yours and asked us if we could put you in touch with him He is a Brit and a good guy, so try to be nice. We think you two will enjoy each other's content. Thanks. Now, onto that shop. BTW, are you sweating at the end of November, in Indiana? Are you planning on fitting yourself between the planer, jointer, or table saw? Perhaps, the jointer could move back a bit so that the end of the actual tool is not against the lally column. Dust collection is going to be expensive, but we know you have it. Don't forget our lathe. You may have to put it into the office. Aww, freaking Layla is awesome!! She'll need a dust mask out there. Maybe she goes in the office with the lathe.
Start making is a great channel 👍 🇬🇧
Oh man! Of course. I love his channel. I just saw a video he did recommending my channel, I was very humbled, I don't deserve it but really appreciate it. I'd love to contact him, love his sense of humor and his positive attitude!
