My vision of my dream shop has evolved over the years. The tools may remain the same but my approach to woodworking gets more refined. By having messy drawers and a unique dust collection situation I'm able to keep a tidy shop. A clean space free of distractions allows me to focus on being safe and creative.

#woodworking - Jak na to + styl
Great video and shop! One note is to move the fire extinguisher to a doorway. If the laser does have an issue you don’t want to reach over/through the fire to get the extinguisher. Never put the extinguisher next to the likely source of the fire. Same goes for any inside your home (don’t put the extinguisher next to the stove or breaker panel).
this makes so much sense. Thank you!!
Can concur. We have a rolling torch at work that has started quite a few fires. There is an extinguisher mounted to the cart. That is NEVER the extinguisher that gets used.
Rambling Dave is the best Dave :)
your commentary is the best on youtube 🖤
❤️ Thank you!
Agree
17:12 "I like the dang piano hinge, un subscribe" 🤣 Love it!
Your shop was one of the first things that made your videos stand out in a world where so many look like a village farm museum. Eye catching and non-distracting. Something I'll bear in mind when I eventually sort mine out.
🙏 thank you
“We go into the shop more than we go out of the shop”. That breaks all numeric laws! What kind of wizardry goes on there!!!
I have a sign hanging in my shop that says "this will be a weird room when I die." I really love the idea of making spaces for artists to fill out with their own identities. In a more just world everyone would have that opportunity.
What kind of madman watches at 1x speed? Ain't nobody got time for that.
I really enjoyed hearing about your future plans. Definitely something to be excited about.
Watching you dig through your drawers is nice. Everything isn't perfectly put away. Reminds people that youtubers are regular people too.
I was thinking that too, I'm trying to get back into making videos and was trying to make my shop perfect, it's good to know I'm not the only one with tons of parts and pieces that aren't perfectly organized. Still have a ways to go to match his shop though.
So… no one is going to ask about the random NES controller by the CNC? The funniest thing is that I didn’t even feel like it was out of place. I can definitely see you getting some retro gaming in as a cooldown for times when a project isn’t going as planned. Fits all the 80s/90s references. I love when you slide in those entertaining sound/video bites. Keep making it fun and thanks for sharing even the not-so-glamorous details about your space. Keep it real.
The controller is used to move the CNC around.
@@EvanDunville Ahhh… makes sense. I’m guessing he mentioned that in a CNC video, but I know my chances of ever getting one are slim so I try not to torture myself by watching videos about them. 😂
I can’t believe nobody is talking about him saying he sold drugs to pay for his shaper origin 😳😂😂
Came for the shop tour, stayed for the goal setting. Goal setting is one of my absolute favorite things and it’s awesome to see people put their goals out there and then watch them accomplish those goals. I’m not in Toledo, and I’d have no real reason to visit Toledo, but when you get your community art center/maker space up and running, I’ll have to make a visit. Sounds like an awesome thing.
🍻 here’s to accomplishing goals
I remember thinking, “this man is insane,” when I saw the carpet in your shop for the first time. Now I aspire to have a shop as quiet as yours. 😂
i have old carpet down in most of my shop. saved a few breakages too i think as it absorbs a lot of impacts. only problem is it makes vacuuming a bit more of an effort
Cant believe i saw a 47 minute video on a guy showing his work shop. What ever dreams you have, i wish you all the luck in the world budy.
I woke up the whole family with my laughing this morning.
A lot of cool tools and machines in the MS shop.
The opening and closing of drawers under lathe was hilarious. I have some of those drawers myself.
Everytime I see your videos are out I get soooo excited, the best thanks man
Thank you Chris! Much appreciated! 🙏
I love that every maker only dreams of building a big shop and sharing it with others. David, April, Anne, etc. I'm working on my new building for the same reason. Great video David!
Anne is building a school, albeit it still is technically a bigger shop lol! She definitely has taken it a different route though :) I love watching everyone's individual journey with different time frames, budgets, and goals. Its fun to watch the growth, the changes, the successes and the regrets with these Makers!
I love how this is real. No f's given. Not trying to pass his shop off for something it normally isn't. Great tour thanks for keeping it frosty my friend!
I’m genuinely glad I watched all of this video.
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already. I admire everything that you have done and the way you do your videos. You have been an inspiration for me for a long time. Thank you for what you and Dan do.
I can’t decide what I like more, your commentary or Daniel’s videography 🤣😂
I don't really need a hug, but I watched the entire video and enjoyed it all. I love your passion and hope you achieve all of your goals. Kudos!
Thanks for showing the messy sides of your shop and the unfinished shop furniture. Im building a router table and needed that reminder that it just needs to work and doesnt have to be perfect.
I’ve watched this again… I think this is the third time…. Your craziness is contagious!
The dream center sounds AMAZING!
I love the progress on the workshop! The maker and gallery space in Toledo sounds awesome! I’m getting close to getting a space setup in southeast Michigan but not on your scale. I understand hanging lots of plans and trying to make them happen!
David, I really dig how since you moved into that shop how you’ve made it unapologetically your space. Love the humor you throw in too man.
Thanks Jim!
Glad to see you put yourself out there at the end. Authentic and genuine. Cool to hear about your dreams, too. Wish you the best!
Always find your energy uplifting and motivating. Have gone through several "dream shops", they are never as organized as you want. The bigger the space, the more room for chaos. Thanks for making the content.
Best Shop Tour EVER
I come back to this video every now and then and i always wonder about the dust. Seeing sanders right next to the laser or having TV's and computer screens just makes me wonder how often you have to deep clean/dust? I would love to make my shop as nice and comfortable as yours one day, i just worry I'd drive myself insane with the dust! Love your content❤️
Maker spaces like the one you are describing are very rare and would be welcome in just about any community. The one's we have here in Chicago are either massive collections of junk and broken machines or cater exclusively to very high end users like architects and design firms with user fees out the wazoo.
I commented several days ago, but I thought of something else-I love how you have a vision for what’s on the horizon.
You owe me a hug Dave. lol. enjoyed it immensely. Love the passion and eclectic taste and projects. You're probably my favorite maker on CZcams. Really appreciate all you do. so much creativity. You inspire me.
Oh wow, thank you!!
I enjoy the slightly more vlog-style feel this video has. I would be interested in seeing more "off the cuff" vlog videos from you. Just you working on things in the shop; doesn't even have to be full build videos. I just love seeing how other people work.
Great tour. The shop has changed over the 5 years. I LOVE your big dreams. I totally want to do something like that in my area. I thought I found the building and some people willing to help make it happen. May still happen.
Oh… and you owe me a big hug!!!!
I love how passionate you are. I've said this before; one of if not the most creative makers on CZcams. Thanks for making content and I hope those big dreams of yours comes into reality.
your enthusiasm is infectious!
I got the same design experts commenting on my "coolest wooden box ever" video. I did the exposed piano hinge on purpose on that since it went with the box joints I cut in the corners.
Some people's kids, eh?
Thanks for the tour!
Some people's kids.
You owe me a big hug!
Lol, I even reminded a few sections when I got distracted 😁😁😁
Definitely the most irreverent shop tour ever. Loved it! Unfinished shop furniture, tools tossed in drawers, things that aren't perfect! LOVED IT! Makes me feel like maybe there's hope for me too. Thanks David, drunk or not, you're awesome.
People don't like that piano hinge? Man, you don't need that kind of negativity in your life. Tell those folks to give that video a "Thumbs down" but be REAL emphatic about it and mash that "Down" thumb TWICE! (haha - see what I did there? Can't take credit though - that's Crafsman who came up with that one). Honestly, over the last 5 years I didn't know what to make of the shop, or at least at the beginning, I thought all the attention to sound/light/hiding hand tools, etc was just WAY too out there. Over the years though, I've come to realize it WORKS! Sound and light is great, and best of all - when watching a video, I'm watching YOU and what YOU'RE doing - not fixating on the mess in the background. In a way, there's something calming about not having so much visual distraction. I used to be like Adam Savage in a way - keeping all those tools out where you can see them, but over time (and because of my massive space constraints), I've started to follow the "Picciuto Method" and switched to tools going in drawers and cabinets. I love your vision for the future plans. Would love to see that evolve into reality.
The long video was worth it for me; I'm building out my dual workshops. I have a 40'x60' w/20' ceiling commercial steel building (steel column, trusses, and thick steel siding). It is broken into two sections, a 40'x15' for my camper and a 40'x45' for the workshop side. The workshop has an 18'x45' loft (9ft ceiling below) in the rear with the future woodshop below and storage above. The front is the metal/mechanical work area. Just starting the rewiring and waiting on the power company to hook up the service. Upgrading from 100amp 240v single phase to 400amp 240v 3phase. Lucky for me, I have a ground transformer in my yard 65ft from the building. The previous owner ran a Might Automotive Parts distributor out of the building when they built the house on the property in '03. The local code required a commercial transformer even if he didn't use it because of the business. Lucky for me, it's already here; I hate to see the price to put that in. I'm 400ft off the road, back into the woods. I'm always looking for different ideas for setting up my giant mancave up.
Two bandsaws. Two CNCs. Sure, makes sense. Lost me at two doors. Such priviledge! Awesome shop tour.
haha!!
Thank you for your sense of humor. I really appreciate your down to earth, raw, yet moderately filtered, presentations and personality.
About the future shop ideas, what you are talking about sounds like a variation on a “makerspace” kind of place. Go for it!
I'm waiting for my hug Dave. Great video man. I hope you get to do all of your goals. They sound ambitious but doable.
Enjoyed the video! And I will take that hug! Always loved the appearance of your shop and to watch as you've changed it over the years.
Carpet for the win!
I like the mural wall behind the lathe, drill press and router.
Been here watching videos at 1x speed since the days of the Drunken Woodworker. You've come a long ways and I hope your dreams come true!
Can't believe it's been 5 years!!! That's crazy. I found your channel when you were first looking at the new space.
I’ll take that hug if I’m ever in Toledo. I love the evolution of the work space. The idea of a community creative space is great.
When you did the big pan around the room I thought at a quick glance it looks more like a preschool classroom than a shop. Very cool!
I tend to think preschoolers are way more creative than adults. So I'll take that!
One of the things I love about your shop is that it proves that effort produces results. If you can making it here, you can making it anywhere, even if you make chicken feathers.
My shop is an 8x12 shed. I put my joiner, planer and table saw on carts I built so I can roll them outside so I have room.
Been watching you for a long time, but hadn't been in my feed for some reason. Catching up I found this video and by the end I have to say it's really exciting to hear your plans here in Toledo.
I really hope you complete it and if so as a local Waterville resident, I can't wait to see it!
Brother I’ll take that big hug anytime! Love the videos, love the projects, love the positive energy you bring. Here’s to your big dreams🍻
The corded tool drawer was my favorite!
I want my big hug dave! Awesome stuff my man! Make it happen!!!
It’s nice to see that your shop is just as much of a chaotically controlled mess as mine. I totally understand the unfinished shop projects. Great video and thanks the walk through behind the CZcams magic. I always enjoy your videos.
this was one of your best videos. hope all your dreams come true
Love the passion…. I’ll take my hug 🤗. Lol. Many best wishes to your dreams, may they all come true. You got this…
Love the video and how you are just all over the place. that is the David I envision in the shop. Look Squirrel.
As a rule, I don't watch shop tours. I watched this one because I knew it would be fun, and I was not disappointed. Many laugh out loud moments, and many memories of fun projects of the last few years. Mad respect for making your work space a video studio and holding hard to that. I love how everything looks so nice and clean. I love the art in the background. It makes the production of art in the foreground that much more interesting. Really interesting to hear you talk about future plans here. I think it's the first time I've heard you discuss them and it sounds super exciting. As a long time viewer and fan, thanks for all the art and joy you bring to your videos. I always know I will learn something from them and have fun along the way. Thanks for sharing!
David. "I don't know what this is doing in here. I need to fix that."
Also David "I hate shop furniture."
Great video, keep being awesome and good luck with your future endeavors.
One of your best videos of the last five years. Absolutely loved it!
I love your dry sense of humor, best shop tour video I've ever seen.
Love the tour. Thank you. I’ve liked pocket holes ever since I saw Norm Abram use them in furniture making on the New Yankee Workshop.
Really nice shop...you have to be the only woodworker on the planet to say, first tool to go would be the jointer lol..stunning statement...love that lill bandsaw...really all your tools lol.. congrats....
On the lathe, several people I know had the 16 inch nova lathe and loved it. only reason they got rid of it is the age old they wanted bigger. One got a powermatic. You will always want bigger :) I have a couple of smaller lathes my dream is a 22 or 24 inch.
I'm "right down the road" in Pittsburgh, so may come for that hug lol. Getting ready to possibly move from a basement shop to a place where I can convert a 2 car garage, but noise and possible Hoa is worrying me. Thank you for covering some of you sound deadening solutions!
That was one of the best shop tours. I love the Demolition Man beauty up top, chaos down below drawer situation. I also LOVE all the color and purple in there. I love your channel. Never stop. I hope your goals come true. Thank you for the time you put into everything for your audience.
Regular speed here 🖐🏻😂 always appreciate your sincereness and your future plans look great
My favorite part is your gun collection! 😂
-Davis
🤣
When you only have guns, everything looks like a target 😅
I've always been a fan of benchtop bandsaws, to keep a scroll cutting blade on so you can keep a 1/2 or larger blade on your bih saw.
Made it all the way through on 2x speed, keep it up David your core audience appreciates all your hard work.
This is amazing! I'll definitely draw some inspo from your setup whenever I happen to have a shop in the future - sliding wall storage included.
Yhea just try not to copy his never finishing things or the disorganisation of the draws. The layout, design and stuff are all really good and generally we thought out its just his disorganised after that that I couldn't live with.
Great shop tour! You give a lot of people great ideas and inspire us all!!
Long video. But a good video. Best of luck with all your future endeavors. You are a true craftsman and a pleasure to watch.
Always loved your shop through the various stages, keeping it interesting and inspiring.
I've been following you for so long. not commenting much, but enjoying every minute. remember so many good times in the old shop and can't wait to see where the journey goes.
Great video Dave, the vision sounds amazing.
Love your shop tour! Love how you explained your rhyme and reasons. Can’t wait to see your future projects. Keep up the awesome content.
Great video! I love your shop design, so clean and inspiring with all the art work...
Dave owes me a hug!
(FYI Piano hinges are the best. When I see those, I feel like it's a solid project. You do you)
I have a lot of the same goals and dreams you do. It's awesome to see someone with the same pation for making and art, both your own and others. Keep being you and good luck on your vision.
I didn't realize you were in Toledo, OH. I lived there 05-08 and still know a few people there. Planning a trip that way here soon from north eastern IN.
Good luck with your goals!!!! Go get ‘em!
Love the vision, keep grinding !
I like the evolution of your shop.
I’m a young maker and watching your growth over the years inspires me so much and to see your excitement and enthusiasm for the future just get stronger is awesome. You make me believe dreams can be achieved and I know you can accomplish all those big ideas you have. Thank you for sharing your journey and love. You also owe me a big hug haha.
"takes a pounding like your mo". I wasn't expecting mom jokes.. great commentary!
I like forward to meeting some day so I can collect my hug. I always enjoy watching and your touch of charm, humor and with. Thanks David!
Loved the video Dave. Been here since this was The Drunken Woodworker. Excited to continue watching as you expand and grow and stay creative. Really looking forward to your interests in autobody work and where they take you!
great video Dave, all the best with the future plans 👍
Always inspired by what you do. Thanks for sharing. 👊🏻
Love to hear how excited you are about you big plans. This is what I come back for is seeing someone excited about what they are doing now matter what it is. Keep it up David!
For sound isolation, you could have gotten the thinner drywall. Put it up and then a second layer with the joints staggered. Also no screws. Glue the second layer to the first, so there is no penetration between the layers to carry the sound.
ahh, great suggestion!
You give me hope. My shop is on the back patio of our house. My wife had wanted a deck from the time we built our house. Fifteen years later we built a wonderful deck 48' feet long and 16' feet deep. Now there is no room on our deck for socializing. Table saw, router table, miter saw, one work table so cluttered with miscellaneous tools and materials. Oh all my lumber is on the deck also.
I guess the reason the this video resonated with me is that you showed all your drawers with all the clutter. When you opened your drill bit drawer I was looking at my drill bit drawer. I don't know if I should celebrate the, for lack of a better word, mess or know that I am destined never to have an organized shop.
We are moving to a much smaller house (one third of the square footage of our current home) but I did build a 65' x 30' metal building that is in the design phase for a garage and shop. Watching you and others on YT is giving me a lot of direction with my shop plans.
Great video!
Great video. Always enjoyed the shop tours over the years. Can't believe it's been 5 years already. I remember the old shop tours and the bandsaw with the painting on the side in the old house.
