    I really like how you've maximized your space to your needs. I'm currently learning the art of woodworking with an eye on furniture in the future and you've given me so many ideas for keeping myself organized as I grow. Love that sail

    • @WilliamDouglasCo

      Joey Buczek love hearing that I’m catching people on their way in. This info is so helpful to the new woodworkers more than anyone

    @Ninjump Před 4 lety +3

    Let's go! Love watching a shop punching far above its weight and showing others what's possible. Filmmaking is on point too, nice that you invested the time and resources into making your shots crisp and consistently graded. Keep that quality level up and you're gonna crush it!

  • @s9plus20
    @s9plus20 Před 4 lety +5

    Great tour. Looks like you are a very practical fellow. My dad raised a family and put me and my brother through college out of a 2 car garage. He was a cabinet maker and home builder. Lots of space is nice but you can do lots with much less as you have shown. Keep up the good work!

    • @WilliamDouglasCo
      @WilliamDouglasCo  Před 4 lety +3

      Frankie Hunt I really appreciate that. I was really hesitant about opening up and showing my shop as it felt very vulnerable. I know there are trolls out there and people who want to watch the world burn. It’s great to see that I am getting a positive response from the woodworking community.

  • @robinlatta9619

  • @MichaelMakesMistakes
    @MichaelMakesMistakes Před 4 lety +1

    Awesome to see what you did in such a small space. I used to live in a 1200 sq foot house around 24th and Campbell, so I spent a long time looking into a 200 sq ft shop in my backyard. We ended up having a second child, so we moved to Shea and the 51 and I got a two-car garage that I got to take over. Can't wait to see what else you put on the channel!

    • @WilliamDouglasCo
      @WilliamDouglasCo  Před 4 lety

      That’s cool to hear! I wouldn’t mind being in a two car garage. Any plans on building a shop in back for additional space?

    Greetings from the East Valley! I really enjoyed the videos and I'm looking forward to seeing more. Also, congratulations on the success of your business! I can see you did much planning and really focused on the minute details, given your space restrictions. I'm in the process of planning my shop which will occupy part of a three car garage. I'm totally overwhelmed but feel like I'm off to a good start, as all of my large tools are on mobile bases. Your videos are definitely encouraging, and right in my own back yard. Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

    • @WilliamDouglasCo
      @WilliamDouglasCo  Před 4 lety

    • @WilliamDouglasCo
      @WilliamDouglasCo  Před 4 lety

  • @volinarsworkshop4818
    @volinarsworkshop4818 Před 4 lety +2

    Definitely know the struggles of adapting your shop for what you have! I run a handtooled woodworking business for dungeons and dragons and other tabletop accessories making dice trays, dungeon master screens and more out of my garage. Granted being an all handtool shop makes the spacing issue a hell of a lot easier but i feel you brother. Great setup and happy to see fellow crafters making it work and follow their passion!

    • @WilliamDouglasCo

  • @djawnsjhilson218

    That's the nicest alley i've seen in phoenix and also a beautiful shed facade!
    I have been looking at people's workspaces on youtube and yours showed up in my recommended. I think youtube is greatly overestimating my abilities! It's great though!
    Hopefully one day though I'll have a beginner's model for a soapmaking shed! Thanks for the tour and great space saving layout and quite smart to rent a climate controlled storage shed.

    • @WilliamDouglasCo

  • @pemtax557
    @pemtax557 Před 2 lety

    Hey William ...
    Really good tour!! It was nice to get a sense of just what you've had to do to become successful. So many people jump head first into a new business without any forthought of what they are in for. A lot of what you do to make ends meet can be viewed by some as just too much additional work to make it worthwhile. Those are the people that need to be working for someone else because they just don't have what it takes. You have made the very best of what's available to you and it works. You are to be commended ... it's a pretty slick operation.
    I was just taking a mental inventory of the equipment you have managed to stuff into your available space and I'm stunned, talk about doing the "shuffle".
    Again, you should be proud of what you've accomplished as well as the product you manage to crank out of these facilities. You three are really quite amazing.
    Cheers!!

    Great looking shop. It’s great to see someone from my neck of the desert on CZcams. I am in Cave Creek and have been here all of my 64 years. Looks like my old neighborhood. Love the tools and how you set everything up. Gives me inspiration to get out in my mess of a shop and get it organized. If you ever go to Rockler look me up. Thanks again for the tour. Good luck

    Thanks for providing. I built a retail store, and as a Master Herbalist farm my primary plants. Naturally I love wood working and this was a great overview for my 2 car garage I've built both business' out of. I love your work and care in craft. Also it still sticks with me for rather giving away product than to cheapen your prices. I am in the same boat of belief.

    this video was very inspirational, i have a 23x15 shop and it is filling up fast. Im a relativity new wood worker and am in the works of setting up my shop. Every time i see a video of a wood worker with a huge shop and fancy tools all i can think about is having that lol. But this video has showed me that with a little ingenuity and the capability to think outside of the box you can accomplish your goals.

    • @WilliamDouglasCo
      @WilliamDouglasCo  Před 4 lety +1

      ken kearley right on Ken that’s awesome to hear! Being in a small shop forced organization and I’ve found that it’s a blessing in disguise. If we ever get a larger shop it’ll feel like space for days.

    That’s awesome! I have a shed that basically houses my tools and I end up working outside of the shed for a total square footage under 200. I’m in east Mesa, so summer is awful for woodworking. I have a portable unit for A/C but it struggles when it gets really hot. Great job on the setup! 👍🏽

      @@WilliamDouglasCo Well, with your planning and level of organization, it would probably feel like 20k sqft! The only real problem with large shops is that they lend themselves to correspondingly large piles of jigs, fixtures, sawdust, scraps, and crap.....I can't imagine what it would be like to have a CNC machine.

    @pawpawstew Před 4 lety +1

    Thanks for the tour. My shop space is isn't much bigger at 231 sq.ft., and you know the deal. One has to be very creative. I don't have the "attic" space you do given that my ceilings are only 9ft. high, but I do have a 12x12 shed for wood storage that doubles as parking for my yard equipment. My wood shop is a project in of itself and I've been able to glean many ideas on how to utilize the space from videos like yours. I think flip-top tool stands and French cleat walls are going to be my friends.
    Oh, on your transition from inside to outside the shop... I'm kind of in the same boat. If you end up going with concrete, think about either running a trench with iron trench grates or (maybe better yet) a series of 1/2" U channel embedded in the concrete across the threshold to channel water away. You'll still be able to roll your equipment in and out of the shop. www.ironagegrates.com/product-category/trench-grates/
    or

    You could maybe slope it to drain back to the alley.

      @@WilliamDouglasCo Most definitely. I'm in a long process of purging unnecessaries and organizing all the keeper tools and supplies, then scooping them out of the way to build storage and work surfaces and tools to build more tools. Our greenhouse/shed/loft is only 12x25 and what I get to use of the garage is smaller. Last night I made a decent set of corner clamps and a zero-clearance insert. Next is a right-angle mount for the belt sander I found while cleaning and a drill press mount for the drill I also found while cleaning.
      Coming from a permaculture background, I very much admire how your layout and design follow from the inputs of efficiency, workflow, and weather. In that sense design for function is almost a passive process, if one can but listen to what the situation is saying. Not to diminish, because being able to tune into that is definitely a gift not everyone employs!
