YT algorithm brought me here. I'm a new woodworker so this is inspiring.
Well you came to the right place to learn! Thanks for watching!
fmd. now there's something I'd never do in my life time but loved watching. subbed
Well I'm glad you still enjoyed it then!
@@FortressFineWoodworks let me reword that. something I'd probably never be capable of doing but enjoyed watching.😊
You never know!
This is fast becoming one of my favorite CZcams woodworking channels right there next to Bourbon Moth. 👊🏻
Wow thank you! That is quite a compliment considering his channel is very well practiced and established. Thank you for watching ✌️
You mean, practiced and rehearsed….which I don’t care for..your style is where it’s at.
Thanks!
Great setup. I don’t like working with Hickory…. But it sure does look great. This looks like a super useful miter station. I just got my Kapex a couple of months ago. Tore out my old miter station last year and still haven’t rebuilt. Thanks for some ideas.
Also a new subscriber.
Thanks for the sub! Hickory is a sucker to work with. But it has beautiful grain!
That is sheer class’ wow it’s all more than amazing.
You’re now officially our favourite human’ absolutely terrific.
I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
YT brought me here as well. What an awesome channel. Keep it up. Greetings from Germany. 🇩🇪🤙🏻👋
Thanks for watching all of the way from Germany!
A wall panel saw is awesome for cutting sheet goods because the cuts will always be strait . Plus they don't take up any space .
The blue LED touch is sick - which my teenagers inform me means, "that's excessively nice."
Great work. Still not jealous at all of your new shop. Not one bit.
Haha thanks! Tell them they are excessively nice!
@@FortressFineWoodworks When they learn to shower without having arms twisted, I'll consider it. Your setup is still sick.
Ohhhh teenagers haha. Thank you, as always
First one of your videos that popped up in my feed. Subscribed and will have to check out your other stuff. Take care.
Check it out! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
That's sooo cool !! at 10:29 when he says to click subscribe, the button lights up !! Very cool :O
That's nifty! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
Nicely done 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
like the ide with lights and have like a exhibition stand for the tools :)
Ya I've thought about making unique stands for the tools, but I'm so busy using them rather than looking at them, they get moved around a lot. Thanks!
Awesome job. I found this channel a few weeks ago and have been bouncing around the various videos, and nothing has disappointed. Thanks for the outstanding content!!!
That's great to hear! Thanks for the amazing feedback!
OCD is good if your an excellent Wooodcraftsman. 👌
I guess it is huh? Thanks for watching!
Lovely
Thank you!
Stumpy Nubs!
He's one of my favorites!
I love the video. I’m more and more interested in the step by step processes of making things shop/garage spaces. Looks great and well done
I appreciate you watching!
I like that expanding clamp trick to hold up the upper cabinet. I use that too. Nice build man.
Ya that is pretty nifty huh? Thanks for watching!
I started with one of your most recent videos, went back and saw your old shop, wondered if you'd won the lottery, then came to this video to see if I'd learn more of the back story on this shop.
Any chance of a shop tour video soon?
Yes I want to do a shop tour. Right now I'm trying to keep up with the large bills that a warehouse creates, so when I have a moment to breath, I will make that video. Thanks for watching
That is one nice shop
I appreciate that! I'm very grateful
Lookin' great, very well organized shop! This is quickly becoming on of my favorite channels too.
I'm glad you are liking it. Thanks for watching also! Don't forget to subscribe so youtube shares my videos more!
You are absolutely inspiring. I’ve just started a custom furniture business, and your videos have really shown me how deep this rabbit hole can go
Proud of you! Your process will be unique to you, and I hope it brings you joy!
@@FortressFineWoodworks thank you for replying! I look forward to seeing more of your journey mate
It's beautiful, Cory, keep up the good work!
Thanks Romales! I appreciate it
look so really awesome! 👍👍
Thank you! I appreciate you watching!
Functional and yet still looks like art. Beautiful build!
Thanks
Like me, you don't have a dedicated spray booth. I am interested in learning more about the fans and set up you have to exhaust the overspray. I usually spray outside, but this does not work during the cold Chicago winters. Awesome build and keep the content coming!
Just check out more of my videos where I finish things! You'll see I use a hard foam sheet with cutouts for the fans. Works great! I also did it in my small garage shop.
Got it. I'll get the popcorn ready and settle in for some educational viewing!!!
Thanks so much!
Love the mitre saw station (it’s beautiful and damn I love hickory, I’m building a solid hickory vanity soon) and the outrageous big plywood storage! I’d loved to have seen the full build but I get it! That’s a lot to film and you needed to get it done. One thing you ought to try with your swing out ply and wood storage cabinets are heavy-duty gate spring loaded wheels! Wood Whisperer uses them for his massive plywood carts and what’s so nice is the spring loaded wheels adapt to floor depth change. You might be fine, your floors look pretty flat but my floors have a hideous crack and deep downward slant. Basically anyone can do a hinged ply cart if they use these spring loaded gate wheels
That's a great idea! My floors are pretty flat so I got lucky there. I really appreciate you watching.
So I was watching again, I like to rewatch favorites every once in a while so I don’t forget ideas and anyways you mentioned using water based poly on the hickory, I’ve finished the frame or structure of my hickory vanity and now just have the solid wood drawers and doors and I’m basically done but I went with Osmos Polyx in Raw since it’s a finish I can work with in the future incase of damage (it really does reapply no problem and without any lines or noticeable changes since I missed some wood glue when finishing) and it’s now my absolute favorite for hickory or really any light hardwood! It brought out depths of color and tones I didn’t see until applying it, then I did the second coat with Osmos Polyx in satin clear and it gave the raw a bit more life or warmth without yellowing whatsoever. Incase you build with more hickory, osmo Polyx in raw first and clear second leaves a phenomenal finish and it does seem more protective than I’ve heard from others yet you can still feel the grain and again I lightly sanded the missed glue and reapplied it and you can’t see where I goofed so anyways keep building we’re watching and thanks again! Ohh and you weren’t kidding about hickory being difficult to tool! I used a rabbeting bit for the back of my vanity and that was interesting but it worked out in the end. Climb cutting worked the best where the grain ripped out and that was with 1/8” depth cuts each time. The other major issue I had was using mechanical fasteners! Pocket holes… forget it, I broke sooooo many screws into the wood when installing the bottom which was my stupid move avoiding another joinery method worth time lol so I didn’t attempt the nail gun but it makes for some stunning joints. I finally tried and succeeded pretty well for my first time with bridle joints and half laps. Such an underutilized wood for sure
Wow, im super impressed with that, great finish. 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
really nice
I appreciate it!
amazing dude..
I appreciate it
I'm a closet wood worker at heart (noob), but these videos are great in helping me plan my future workshop, seeing you do this from the 'get-go' is great! (just subbed) so thanks...I also wouldn't mind seeing you juggle 3 power saw in your next video (incase my concentration drifts ;), keep up the great work.
Thanks! I appreciate the sub. Maybe one day I will learn to juggle. Good luck with your woodworking!
Looks great
Hey, thanks! I appreciate you watching!
great video. nice shop.
Thank you for taking the time to watch!
Awesome job my man, maybe someday I get the courage to start with Woodworks. Thanks for the inspiration...
I hope you do! It's great for all skill levels
Great looking shop. Now I have to subscribe so I can see what else you do! Cheers.
Thanks for the subscription then! I have more project videos in the queue, this next one is about my nordfab experience though. which was crazy. You'll see!
Great job. Looks amazing. Love this channel.
I'm glad you enjoy it! Thanks!
Hello , waw
Very good and very inspiring
I'm from Indonesia
Welcome to the channel! Thanks for watching!
Ahh....another classic build to perfection! You do make it look so simple. I recently did some upgrading in my shop in the last few days, but not nearly to the standards you exhibit here on your channel. I look forward to many more of your videos. I would like to show my arrangement through email if you are interested.
Thanks as always! Of course. The channel email is fortressfinewoodworks@gmail.com
Very nice I love the swinging cabnet for the sheets of ply
Ya, it's pretty darn heavy, but it's nice to have it stow away
as if your channel is that small i thought you have 100k+ subs keep up the work and your channel will explode
I appreciate it. I will continue pushing along!
Great space, great tools, great setup you built out! Makes me almost want to rebuild my entire shop if we weren’t so busy all the time. I look forward to seeing what’s next 😊
Thank you! Finding the time to renew the shop can be hard. I just had to schedule it like it was a job. A job without profit, but adds back productivity.
Thanks for watching!
Nice build, enjoy your process. Workshop looking great
Glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for watching!
My diagnosed OCD was a blessing in the Army. However, there are times it derails my woodworking. I will literally sweep and dust before sanding. Yes, I know how insane that reads. Again, "DIAGNOSED" OCD. Not sure how CZcams led me to your video, but I enjoyed watching. Cheers!
I can see why OCD would benefit you in some areas and slow you down in others.
LMAO! You have a very funny personality.
Thanks! It's a side effect of being a goober
Nice work cousin
Thanks man.
Super👍
Thank you!
Niiiiiice.
Thank you!
Looking good man!! Music is maybe a bit dramatic for shop boxes.
Thank you! Maybe so, my newer stuff is a bit different
this video got you my sub :) great work!
Thanks for the sub! I appreciate you watching!
Nice to the Extreme. I think all shops should be "finished". The black color looks great. Sure its little more in time and materials, however it speaks to your level of standards.
That's so true. If I'm making customers spaces beautiful, why can't I make my space elegant too? Thanks!
Great video. I built a similar plywood holder almost the same exact method. The plywood shifted inside one day when I was moving it and the whole thing toppled over on me. I was lucky and got mostly out of the way but still ended up in the ER. So I'm glad you clamped the boards to the side. Keep doing that so they don't shift.
What brand suction cup is that would you recommend? I didn't see it in the description. Thx
I'm sorry that happened. That's exactly why I clamp the boards and haven't had problems. The suction cup is the grabo pro. Thanks for letting me know so I can add that to the description
Real industrial woodworking tools like a sliding table saw would change your life
I appreciate that. Hopefully sawstop makes one soon
Forget waiting for a sawstop slider. Buy a true European machine like a Felder, SCM, Altendorf, etc. Slider design is very difficult so you want to go with an established brand who knows what they are doing and has decades of proven results. Sawstop makes wonderful cabinet saws, but they are not even close to a real euro machine.
@@HybridWoodworks Felder made sliding table saw with safety mechanism just like Saw Stop
@@arworx I’ve tested the Felder PCS with my own hands at their showroom. Nice to see it working its way down the line to their more affordable sliders.
@@HybridWoodworks its a great machine although SCM is the most commonly used in Jordan,
I'm into handmade more than machines and so far I've reached a great level.
Nice Build!
What are these things you use to hang your panels while spraying? They look very convenient.
Its the PSDR spray rack. Very helpful for spraying both sides of doors at the same time
Okay. That'll get you a sub. Well done, m'man.
Also: at 20:25, what are those magnetic (presumably) plates you have the Ryoba and Dozukis stuck to? It'd be nice to get some mag panels with real surface area instead of those damn knife strips.
Thanks for the sub! The magnets are these chunky guys amzn.to/47Jejzw they work very well
Where did you get the suction handle from? I have never thought of using that before. I do everything myself as well.
It's the grabo pro. Here's an Amazon link. amzn.to/3QUnBBx
They are incredibly helpful
Nice build!! Any chance you share the dimensions of your lower and upper cabinets??
The lowers are 26 inches deep for the sliding mitersaw to go back far enough. Each lower cabinet is 32 wide and 34.5 tall. 8ft to the left of the saw, 28 inches where the saw is, 32" to the right.
The uppers are 14 deep. Same width as lowers, 60" tall total with 16" being the lower open nooks, and 44" of upper cabinet.
Great content, and great audio. What mic do you use?
Thanks! I use a saramonic blink 500 pro lavalier and rode videomic ntg
Great build. We're currently building out our miter saw station which brought me to this video. Does the dust collector (the big one) do much in this configuration? I've been debating doing something similar and am trying to decide if it's worth it to run the ducting over. Thanks!
It helps a lot if I'm cutting mdf and I don't want the dust flying everywhere. It's nice to have but not necessary
Nice vid, does your Grabo keep on continuously working when picking up OBS and plywood?
Thank you! Yes the grabo runs continuous on osb, and course plywood. But it stops pumping on fine finish and prefinished plywood. The battery life is insane though
@@FortressFineWoodworks thanks, good to know. I thought mine was defective.
If it starts acting weird, they have great support and will send a new unit
Great video! The cabinets look amazing. Do you have any issues keeping your sawstop slider square? I've had mine about a year and I rarely use it because it's so easily knocked out of square and the detents have too much play...
I agree with that. It's not actually slop in the detents, it's slop in the pin housing (on mine at least) I adjusted mine so that when I slide it on, I pull the right side toward me with a little bit of pressure then lock it in. This ensures that I'm getting 90 every time. It took some time to adjust it to do this perfectly every time, but it's worth it
@@FortressFineWoodworks oh, man that's great to know about the slop being in the pin housing. I'm excited to get to the shop today and play around with it and hopefully implement your solution. Thanks for the reply!
You're welcome! Good luck
What’s the length to the left and right of the miter saw?
9 ft to the left and 3ft to the right
Hickory MDF? Does it come at your local lumber yard?
Yes I get it at austin hardwoods in Colorado.
💥😎
Thanks for watching!
Класс
Thank you
I realized that death by plywood is a genuine possibility
It sure is, probably something I have to keep an eye out for!
Never use cheap slides for shop drawers
I would agree. Now I know
Why are all us carpenters just a little OCD 😅
I think it's because we can make things how we want them. So it gets... a little out-of-hand at times.
Thanks for watching!
7:40 auchh cometiste un error, un pecado, para esos casos una guía de agarre o ayuda de otra persona , aparte q puede dañarse el material, cuidarse y prevenir accidentes
Ya, working alone can be dangerous
No way you used screws in particle board!
And it's still holding strong! Thanks for watching!
Please wear some safety work boots or shoes.
You are so right. I should get some safety toed shoes
Американцы странные люди. Они делают "кабинеты" на кухне и те же "кабинеты" в мастерской...
We are strange aren't we? Thanks for watching!
Scometto che se fate una cucina non lavorate cosi preciso.....
I would say I do incredibly precise work. Please watch my more recent content. Thanks!
You have a funny relationship with precision. On one hand you appear to hold precision as a standard to maintain and on the other you make comments that diminishs holding a high standard calling it OCD or perfectionism as if you need to apologize for being true to your own standards.
So is it ok to have high standards and not apologize for having them?
I think being true to whoever you are being is maintaining integrity. Anyway, if you don't your peace of mind is out the window as you acknowledge so the question becomes does peace hold more value than looking good if you have to trade one for the other?
I think both can be true. My ocd and perfectionism can exist, as well as high standards. And being honest and transparent about what I'm experiencing is integrity.
There’s nothing wrong with working up to your standards no matter how high and even having unattainable ideals is ok. I have them too and I suspect so does everyone else. My issue is with the baggage that comes with the labeling OCD and perfectionism. For me, when I engage with doing things and those terms arise, I then feel guilty as if I’m doing something I shouldn’t be doing. It becomes something I have to hide to a degree as if there is something wrong or broken about me that should be fixed somehow. It certainly isn’t something to celebrate! I get that sharing those practices in a diminishing way may seem honest but there is something untrue about self-diminishing. I find discovering that I have been mislabeling things has been a major and exciting form of learning so I suggest considering being true to yourself and the practices you label OCD/perfectionistic might not have the relationship you suggest in your writing.
Fair enough. It's always nice to hear opinions from the other side. Thank you for reaching out
