- It’s always a good time to reevaluate your small or large shop layout and give it the once-over with a critical eye. The tips provided here should help guide the design of your workshop. Set kind of as a shop tour and kind of as a guidebook for garage-workshop design - there will be something that you can take away an implement in your shop, regardless of size, access to tools or the stage in your maker journey.

About Stillworks
I make videos of my daily shop life and all the crazy things I’m working on. That could be project builds, woodworking skits, more introspective stuff, and educational videos. Think of my woodworking as exactly what you do: Not specializing in one thing, rather cranking out whatever comes to mind, regardless of genre. Thanks for watching! - Jak na to + styl
It must be baseball season because you knocked it out of the park.... again! My shop, aka two car garage, is set up and EVERYTHING (well nearly everything) is on casters-I highly recommend casters... even my 11.5' by 4' outfeed/assembly table (with removable top for access to the jointer & planer that are on lifts). Oh, and I would suggest getting quality casters (skip the HF special). I've been debating on the roll around wood storage-you made some excellent points.
Thanks Mike. I very much agree with you about having the option (at least) for mobility on most things.
Excellent thought process on organization! I’ll be referring to this video frequently as I redo my shop in an opposite car bay in order to get the wife’s car back in the other side. Thanks again
Awesome man - do it up right buddy!
Disagree about making things as rolling as possible but love the “clutter”. Shows a real worker or maker. Dyi. Mind you, you have more space than most. But we should plan and strive for more. Lovely video. Love what your teaching.
@@aaronblackford981 thank you kindly
Just ran across your channel and I like how you explain why tools and items should be in certain zones. Your shop is much bigger than the corner I am going to build my shopette in, so most of the information won't be as useful, but all is not wasted.
Plenty of theory there to use. Good luck with your build-out!
What a great video. Thanks.
I appreciate you watching, hope you found something useful
1st lesson I learned was my garage power was not enough to run more than 1 tool at a time. Upgraded to a 100 amp circuit with 20 amp outlets. Works like a champ.
Exactly. You can’t have too much power in your shop, that’s for sure
Love the shop and the design. It's very similar to what I intended on doing initially. I did opt for a big outfeed table and a fully separate large workbench / assembly table. I've found that if you use one station for both it ends up getting in its own way.
@@barix9495 yea, that’s happened to me a few times. Better than no outfeed table at least
You sir, are absolutely correct about that rolling lumber rack. I am disassembling mine next week, salvaging what I can, and burning the rest in the fire pit. And just like that 32 sq ft of floor space magically re-appear!
Haha, makes good sense
I made one with my son last week, but its for sheet goods, so I can actually move that 4x8 monstrosity out of the way without having to heft around giant sheets. Probably the only situation where it needs to be on wheels.
@@TheNewJankyWorkshop Yeah its basically Tetris!
Great video
@@timjohnston57 I appreciate that Tim
Just found your channel, great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you liked it buddy!
that was great
I appreciate that, glad you liked it
I'm getting ready to start building out my shop (relocated overseas) next week. This was timely. Thank you.
Awesome man, it’s a good feeling: having a fresh start
Great advise. The "Blow and Go" area makes so much sense. Nice vid. Scott
Glad you enjoyed, just wanted you to know make something different than the typical “small shop tips” video.
Loved it. I was planning on actually building something this evening, I might just re-alphabetize my sandpaper instead now.
@@jamesburton6661 hahaha, blow and go buddy!
I lol’d at where you put that extra squeeze clamp. Great vid, great advice.
Thank you friend!
It's like the perfect shop!...........except one thing. You need a shop fridge for cold beverages. Thank me later.
@@DudeSawdust excellent addition to any shop. I’m pretty sure that every one of my videos has a Dales Pale Ale somewhere in the background
Terriific workshop and well thought out! Great work! 👍👍🔨🔨
Thanks buddy, do you have a blow and go section of your shop?
Yeah buddy, thanks for the love shown for The Pencil! When did you get the turbo vise?!
That’s from the very end of the “are you really a woodworker?” Video. And hell yeah buddy, glad to integrate it into my shop
@@Stillworks Forsake me, for I hath forgotten.
Glad you're enjoying it :) Makes me proud when they go to a good home.
Love the coffee can 😂😂
Thanks
You are a sumbitch for mocking us with our 2-car garages :-). Love the vibe that our workspaces have to be enjoyable, so decorate and have fun! Also, lowering the barrier to do anything, will make you more likely to do that thing. Great advice in this video!
Haha, glad you enjoyed it. Working on the DC barrier to entry problem now
Great video. This was super helpful and informative. I have been organically growing my shop and finding a need to organize. I need to do a drawer building marathon 😬 👍👍
Worth it, but building drawers is pretty monotonous. Good luck buddy.
Definitely jealous of all that square footage. One day... On the other hand. If I need to reach my glue, I turn right and Boom. It's there. I need a chisel? I reach forward. Done! I need a drill. I do an about face. There it is.
Always good to have things at the ready. My blow and go side is setup with not much walking between steps
@@Stillworks
Digging your videos by the way man . especially the last one These are the type of videos that keep motivated to build and work on my own videos. Looking forward to the next one. Peace
Okay. So I’m not the only one confused by rolling lumber racks.
Somebody had to say it
Mine is ‘mobile’ so I can keep sheet goods one side and off cuts the other. It moves enough for me to pull a sheet out and then back against the wall.
I saw somebody, maybe The Evening Woodworker, make a hinged version, which is basically what I really use mine as
@@welshwoodco so it’s not mobile for the ability to move it around, just so you can get to it from both sides. That I think is perfectly reasonable
In my head canon, you pronounced "verticality" in the voice of Saint Riot, the From Soft invader.
I’ll be honest, I have no idea who that is
@@Stillworks haha yeah, completely different corner of CZcams. He's an entertaining dude who records himself invading other players in From Soft games like Dark Souls etc. He has a special way of saying "verticality"
Size?
@@Noland-gj9zv my shop you mean? 1000sq ft
