    "...this is my lawnmower, it's a Husqvarna, it's awesome, I hate that it's in here, moving on..." - Love this video tour. I have limited space as well. All my tools (just getting started) are at my step son's house (new trim and doors through entire house). This inspires me to expand my tool list for projects my wife wants while trying to work in a confined garage space... I'm finding out you have to plan ahead or be in a constant state of mobility. Thanks for sharing your space!

      These videos are inspiring for all aspiring woodworkers. It’s possible to have a nice shop on a small space. Look at “tool addicts”. Crazy small. I thought my shop was on the smaller side.

  • @rodpotts2666

    Nice shop. It's supper easy to insulate just roll out some batts.and it makes a ton of difference .

  • @Snakeplisskin440
    @Snakeplisskin440 Před 4 lety +1

    Best dust collection for a compound miter saw is its own little box with a strong vacuum. Mine just erupts dust everywhere. I have to clean up after it every time I use it. Nice jointer btw.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 4 lety

      Yep, that's the plan when I make my miter saw station. Thanks for watching!

    Great tour! My wife says my middle name is "upsell!" I did close to the same thing at Woodcrafters. Had planned for months to buy the contractor saw with cast iron upgrades. They explained with all the upgrades, not much more to buy the pcs. So that's what I did and with the mobile base. I bought the dust collection blade guard, but made my own piping for the dust control. There is an advantage without the motor hanging off the back.
    I saved money on the dewalt planer like you have. Wife found one at a garage sale for $125 last summer. Needed a new belt and blades. Works great!
    Good luck and look forward to looking through your channel.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 5 lety

      Man, Robert, I wish I would have gone with the PCS. I really regret it. We'll see, maybe one of these days.
      Good deal on that 735! Thanks for watching!

  • @KiranBhatWoodworking
    @KiranBhatWoodworking Před 4 lety +1

    Fantastic tour! I like that you have a mix of expensive and cheap tools. Some people just get a high from buying expensive tools rather than making saw dust!

    An up-sale from Kobalt to SawStop is quite an up-sale. Sort of on the lines of used car to Mercedes! This is how sales reps put kids through college!

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 4 lety

      The Kobalt to SawStop was all me and happened before I went into Woodcraft. The jobsite to contractor saw was the salesman and I am glad he did. I would have traded in the jobsite after a few months. Thanks for watching.

  • @davidbryanwoodworksandmore

    Cool video. I really am wanting to make one of my shop for my channel. You’ve inspired me. Thank you.

  • @MnktoDave
    @MnktoDave Před 5 lety +3

    Thanks for the shop tour, I enjoyed it and watched the whole thing. It's always interesting to see how different people lay out their shops, and I usually come away with something I can use for mine. I like your home made router table with all the storage it has, and your miter saw bench with the drawers. I'm lacking storage space also, and really need to build some into my shop. Keep up the good work.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! Plans are available for the router table if you're interested: www.theaveragecraftsman.com/product/router-table-cabinet-plans/
      Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment!

  • @David-hm9ic
    @David-hm9ic Před 4 lety +1

    Good video! It's always nice to see how others managed their space. I'm downsizing from a 36x36 shop to 20x21 so lots of doing without and compromises.
    When going from 110VAC to 220VAC on the saw I wouldn't expect to see any difference at the saw. You'll consume the same WATTS whether 110 or 220. The amperage draw is cut in half at 220V because the voltage is doubled from 110V. The real difference is how many tools can be run at the same time on a single (pick your amperage) circuit. A saw and 2 hp dust collector can be run at the same time on a single 20A 220VAC circuit where they would trip the breaker if run at the same time on a single 110V 20A circuit. I intend to run as many tools as possible on 220VAC in my new shop because the wire gauge can be smaller and less expensive compared to using 110V.

  • @BradsWorkbench
    @BradsWorkbench Před 5 lety +1

    I like the HF F style clamps because they are lifetime warranty and so easy to swap out when they break

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 5 lety

      To each their own. Like I said in the video, the smaller f style clamps are okay but other than that I have not had good luck with HF clamps. Thanks for watching!

  • @gonyerwoodconcepts2646
    @gonyerwoodconcepts2646 Před 5 lety +1

    Nice shop! Great job on explaining the good, bad and ugly with your tools. When I was contemplating the SawStop Contractor Saw at one point, I almost went with it. I had an old Rigid Contractor saw that did the trick but hated the motor in the back. My wife ended up surprising me with the Professional Cabinet Saw instead of the Contractor saw. Its a fantastic saw!

    Hey Tim. I just came across your shop tour vid and really enjoyed it. I like to do woodworking projects to and your shop is similar to what I have. I liked your selection of tools and tool upgrades. Thanks for sharing!

  • @brandone7183
    @brandone7183 Před 4 lety +1

    Very Impressive shop! I also live in the KC area, relocated a few month ago. I like how honest and down to earth you are, you defiantly have a new follower! I will be building up my shop in next few months and taking some ques from you. Thanks!

  • @joedance14
    @joedance14 Před 2 lety

    Thank-you for sharing your workshop and experiences.
    Regarding insulation, as a general rule, approximately 90% of winter heat loss is through the ceiling. Attic insulation in Kansas City area should make an enormous difference. It will also help keep the garage from getting as hot in summer.
    Really like your scrap wood cart, and am planning to build something along those lines.
    Best wishes and stay safe!

    Loved the video. I hope to upgrade to that sawstop someday. I did a video about my bench and I don’t think it will fit though. Also got the Wen spindle sander with 4” belt and it’s just......ok.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 3 lety

      Yeah, the WEN stuff isn't junk like some people think but it's also not top of the line. It's really good for small shop hobbyists. Every WEN tool I've bought I've ended up wanting something bigger. Thanks for watching!

  • @markkoons7488
    @markkoons7488 Před 4 lety +1

    Thanks for the tour. You always learn something whenever you get a tour of another guy's shop. That said, maybe you should list your SawStop on Craigslist and go get the cabinet saw. There's a quantum leap in owner satisfaction there. They say a lot of nice things about Harbor Freight these days. Well, Harbor Freight says a lot of nice things about themselves these days. 40 years ago I spent a day's pay on a bunch of on-sale HF 1/2' pipe clamps. They failed in ways I could not have imagined were possible. Within a couple years I sent the remaining three (of a couple dozen) along with a bunch of other disappointing stuff to the weekly auction. All those years gone by and I last fall I bought a big generator from them. The first two wouldn't run long enough to empty the gas tank. The third, a second free replacement, is sitting in its unopened box awaiting a Craigslist thrifty optimist.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 4 lety

      Yeah, Harbor Freight is a mixed bag. I generally avoid it these days. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the advice about the HF clamps. I also bought a bunch of them using coupons, ass-uming the Besseys were going to be a lot more expensive. I'm returning the HF clamps and will get the Besseys. Please post some new videos!

    • @TheAverageCraftsman

    The woodslicer's from Highland are the best bandsaw blades I've ever use outside of the Laguna carbide tipped blades

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 4 lety +1

      Yep, good blades at a good price. I've recently gotten a Laguna 18bx bandsaw and a Resaw King to go along with it. For the money, I'd say Woodslicer was probably the way to go.

  • @kellyklaask7su990
    @kellyklaask7su990 Před 2 lety +1

    I'm watching this about 2 1/2 years after you recorded it so you may have already done something about insulating your ceiling but if not, just an idea...you might have an insulation company come over and shoot some insulation into the attic area. You mentioned how it was a mess up there so that would eliminate you having to get up there...just have them shoot the insulation in and call it good. Just an idea. Nice video!

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 2 lety

      Thanks for watching! Still haven't insulated. I probably should but have held off because the ceiling is sagging and I was going to fix that and redo the ceiling first but that's a large project that might be a ways off.

    Good shop tour. I love your honesty when talking about the tools and what you like and what you don't. That is so Jay Bates - since you mentioned him a couple times. He has been looking for shops to share on his channel - did he share yours - I don't recall seeing it. Maybe you can get more views and a double hit of your shop video if you contact Jay and ask him to feature your shop also. One thought, several CZcamsr include their camera and audio equipment in their links, as well as their tools. One more way to help people know how to get the equipment you use for your videos (if they want) and possible one more way to monetize. Never have enough small coin coming into to upgrade to even more and better tools. Keep up the good work.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 5 lety

      Rob, I thought about the camera/audio equipment about 30 minutes before publishing! Really wish I would have included my filming setup.

For what it's worth, we have very similar tools, etc. My shop is 30' x 50' which sounds large (and it is pretty nice - much larger than I ever had before and ever expected to have). While it is very workable, I feel a little cramped at times. Just goes to show that no one has a shop that is truly big enough!

    Good looking shop! Your shop and mine are very similar actually. I am also a big Jay Bates fan. I even went in on the Clear Vue cv1800 after watching his installation video of it. I'll just mention, since it seems like you might consider upgrading your dust collection one day, and you watch the Bates content, the Clear Vue is super loud. It sounds like a tornado siren. I ended up framing a closet around the whole thing with 3" of Rockwool insulation and 5/8" sheet rock. That did the trick. It seems to pull dust really well so far. Also, I have 12 sheets of 3/4" plywood sitting in my garage right now for his Miter Saw station! So get on it man! =)

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 5 lety

      Bryan, the CV1800 is on my list. Hopefully in the next year.
      I hope to start my miter saw station in the next couple of months. It's an expensive project so I have to do some budgeting and I have a few more projects in line ahead of it. I really want to get it done though. Stay tuned!

    I was hooked watching your video about your shop. I just ran across your page today & it was exactly what I have been thinking about doing to my garage. We just moved in a different house about 6 months and I've been doing woodworking for about 2 years (when I'm not at my regular job) I have made many big & small items but want to get my shop set up much better & increase my tool supply which hopefully will make more efficient & better making all types of projects. My question is how long did it take you to accumulate your power tools and get your shop to what it looked like in the video? Also, I need lighting bad, so I will watch your video on the your junction box & extra power outlets & maybe lighting. Thank you and I definitely be watch more of your stuff!

I started my channel very much as you did, I was looking for a video to solve a problem and ended up making one of my own with very good response, after a couple of those I was hooked.
    Anyway, thanks for sharing and good luck with your channel, looks like you got a great start.

    Great video. I'm just getting into woodworking myself and am pretty excited except for my space. My current 2 car garage is about 27x25 but plan to make it a bedroom so i will be building a new garage. Thinking of doing 24x36 giving her a parking space which leaves me with 23x23 space for a shop. I was wondering what the overall dimensions are for your shop? I plan on doing some woodworking and metalworking in mine. Also would be interested in seeing more on your subpanel. Will be subscribed. Love your way of doing your video.

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 4 lety +1

      Hey Brandon, thanks for watching. My garage is about 475 square feet but it's an odd shape. For you, it really depends on what kind of tools you'll be going with. If you want bigger machines then you'll obviously want more space. Also, doing metal work in a wood shop can have issues so you might want more space for that. If 23x23 is all you got though, it'll work. You just have to be creative.

      Hey Joe, I use an Azden wireless lav mic. I have had a lot of trouble with audio but I think I dialed it in with these last two videos. The key was turning down the recording level on the camera. Before I was getting a lot of echo and pretty bad audio overall. I reached out to Jay Bates, another CZcamsr, and he gave me that tip. Worked like a charm.

    why is your miter saw to the far right of bench

    • @TheAverageCraftsman
      @TheAverageCraftsman  Před 5 lety +1

      Wade, I put it there based on wanting 8 feet of capacity to the left of the saw. However, that only really works well when you have a stop block on the other side as well which I don't have yet. I probably would have been better off doing 6' and 2' with this setup. This is only temporary. Well, temporary going on over a year now. I will be building a miter saw station on the opposite wall in the coming months and it will have 8' to the left of the blade and 4' to the right.

      Hey Chris, I got this one at Northern Tool (www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200660343_200660343). This one is aluminium but they also offer a steel version (www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200612544_200612544). It's cheaper but quite a bit heavier so the folding/unfolding and assembly can be a bit more cumbersome. The tongue assembly on the steel version is also different so it's a little taller when folded up.
      Harbor Freight also offers a steel version (www.harborfreight.com/1195-lbs-capacity-48-in-x-96-in-heavy-duty-folding-trailer-62648.html) which has a similar design to the aluminium Northern Tool trailer. I've had all three and really like the aluminium.
      Hope that helps. Thanks!

      You're absolutely right about the financials of the hobby. I started my channel to try and talk the beginner and I think I do a good job at that but I also know that I have spent more on tools these past two years than most are able so it's a bit of a tightrope I have to walk. Every single project I've made can be made with minimal tools so I hope I haven't scared anyone off. I know a lot of beginners can be put off by CZcamsrs with nice tool collections.
