- Upgrades to the miter guide: • Well This Is Embarrass...
Talking a bit about the new shop I would like to build and what I'll put in it. Since it will be smaller than the shop I have now, everything won't fit. And that will probably be a good thing - forcing me to only have the tools I'll use the most and less space wasting junk.
The new shop would be a low cost, lightweight building not much bigger than a garden shed. My current shop (garage) is roughly 13' x 23' and the new shop would be around 10' x 20'. But I wouldn't store any wood in there at all, so that would save a lot of space.

Hi John. Re your new shop. A friend has a decent sized shop and he built a little block closet outside the shop about 10' away. He's planning on insulating the crap out of it and putting a wood stove in there. Then he's using an inline blower to blow the heat in the little building over to his shop. He was worried about any potential fire taking out his tools. Also you might want to go 10'x25' and drop your dust collection on the other side of a sound proof partition wall. Take care.
A bigger shop you deserve. Just as easy to build and easier to move around in for those stiffening joints.
Liking how candid this channel is..
Adding on with a connecting door makes more sense and may be best location in backyard. Shed can be dragged farther back to make room.
Build it, John! I would watch the whole series!
Terrific idea about building the new shop John! Go for it............. 👍👍🔨🔨
Seeing that you've got plans to do a small production run of speakers, I think a separate build space would make things more convenient. When there's no snow you can use the garage to setup more stuff for that as well.
What I did in my garage is put everything on lockable coaster wheels (you can place a few 4x4 beams under it if you need extra support/stability Matthias Wandel style). I put everything against the walls and park my car in it when I don't do projects. It's easy to pull out everything when the car is outside and put back in place. Even with the car in the garage I can access most of the stuff, though I need to walk around the car, which isn't ideal but if I need to do something real quick, I can.
That's a great jig! Way better than the contraptions I came up with as attachments to my crosscut sled. I really like that sub-scale idea for fine tuning too. Nice work indeed.
Great talk John. I value what you say and I value your ideas and experience.
I have learned so much from you. Thank you. 👍
My new shop (latest of 8 in my life) is a 12x20 shed and it’s plenty of space when used wisely. I’m still putting finishing touches on it, but happy to share what I’ve learned.
When you start the new shop, I sure hope you take us along for the ride. I am looking forward to seeing the efficient layout and innovative choices you make along the way.
I did not realize R. Lee Ermey had a cameo in the pilot episode of Space: Above and Beyond... (thank you Google). I might have to convince the wife to binge watch that show with me.
Another shack to put all this crap in. 😅I love the scrapbin channel. If space would become an issue I would get rid of the spindle sander , put the drums on the drill press and let the table go up and down automatically, that would generate some reactions 😅. But kidding aside I guess the drill press could do the sander’s job just fine, just not so efficiently. I imagine that the car being in the garage in the winter ( specially in Ontario) is not really a luxury but more a must have. My wife now nearly living 30 years in Belgium ( and is from Whitby / Oshawa) still cringe when she sees the snow in Ontario on ctv. 🤣 and I looking at it like a winter wonder land.
Actually, that is a neat idea and an interesting electronics project to make the drill press table do that.
Would it be possible to add a live centre to the bottom of the drum to take the strain off the press' angular contact bearing?
@@ianhelsbyservices in guess with John's table design yes if the vise is open and add the live center through the vise.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO
Remember that you will put things on the walls and that will narrow your space considerably. If you need 10 x 20 interior then I would go 15 x 20. If you are bringing the jointer you will probably end up bringing the planer as well.
My shop now is just 13' x 23' inside, wall to wall, and that's with the lumber rack on one side and the miter saw station on the opposite side. I think I'll get by no problem with it being 10' wide, but may bump it a bit longer in length to make up the area.
That would give you a building and finishing shop. When I used to make bespoke furniture, used to drive me nuts not having the room to build everything and having to walk around the project and not enough room to run a board on the table saw if I needed to mid build. And sheeting everything up to spray something drove me nuts too.
Exactly. For 6 months out of the year I can still park outside and free up the garage space for other things. Hopefully not for filling with junk and making it impossible to park in it!
We are always a step away from a workshop that will WORK!
So true.
My shop is 15' 3" by 11' 3' inside. In it I have a full size tablesaw, 6'long bed jointer, 13' industrial planer, chopsaw station, and room for a 16' lathe. You have to be organized, and put things away as soon as you are done, but it works.
Looking forward to the build, John! 😊
But yeah, if you don't make mistakes you're never going to learn something new.
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
And happy holidays!
Ever considered a Sunday video discussing trying out the carnivore diet ?
Don’t forget John you could also include really good insulation and have a warm shop😬
Love to see the videos of the shack build
Love it!

"Hi and welcome to the New Canadian Workshop. Today I'll be building this Shaker inspired ass paddle from reclaimed pine."

One of the few things I disagreed with you was the size of the disk sander when you built that one. I made a 12" disk sander years ago and loved the size but the problem is the motor finally died so now I'm using the 5" disk sander and grumble every time. You make plans for another sander I'll buy them and build it.
A new shop sounds cool. I hope you do it.
Hi, may I ask the size of the motor you used for the 12"?
@@ianhelsbyservices I bought a used electric lawnmower for $30 and used the motor from that. I don't have the specs but it's probably around 1/4 to a 1/3hp.
How wide is the current shop? I have to say that 10ft seems narrow. Mine is 11ft wide and I feel forced to have the TS against a wall due to narrowness. I don't need a huge shop, but I do wish for a width of more like 14ft or so so I could have the TS central.
Maybe try going underground, like Colin Furze... I bet that would pull some views! 😆
At this point, I doubt anything I'd do would get the kind of views he's getting. I could raise fu_kers from the dead or levitate objects like Yoda and still not break a million views.
My shop is just 13' wide with the lumber rack on one side and the miter saw station on the other, so it's kind of like being 10' wide already. And my saw is over to one side, up against the lumber rack.
Hi John, I'm sure you've thought of this and dismissed it for practical reasons, but would it be better to keep your shop and build a garage?
about a minute in should that hole have a metal sleeve?
I love to be able to build "everything" with wood, but I also scrap a lot of metal parts from garbage and used parts. Do you ever consider to use metal or plastic parts when, as a example, making the pivot of your jig?
Nice job! Did you consider making the red indicator arrow spring loaded and allowing it to index into holes or grooves on the *edge* of the protractor rather than having a pin through the face? Probably more complicated to build and no more accurate...
I did, but thought it would be too tricky to do accurately without resorting to using the CNC.
Quick question about lubricating the CNC. What if you used a graphite lube instead of oil to prevent dust collecting in the joints. Much as we would in a lock.
The ball screws and linear bearings already have grease inside, so the oil is more compatible with that.
I'll eventually read the manual and find out what I should do, but I tried the oil on a hunch because the problem just kept getting worse and I thought it would be the quickest way to find out if it was binding.
John, the construction glue that you feature quite often, would it work to glue, properly, to melamine laminated mdf material? Do you have any experience there with it?
What web site did you get the protractor template, please. Thanks
What not just add to your current shop?
Keep your shop. Ditch the lathe. Build a garage. Problems solved. :)
I have to ask: Where is the audio at the end of the video from?
Space: Above and Beyond
A garage and a wet car in a shop environment is not a good combo, even if you have a heater in the garage. Too much moisture and it will ruin everything. Get yourself a overhang for the front of the garage and be done with it. My 2 cents.
