Your excitement is infectious! Enjoying spending some time with you. Cheers

You gave me the idea to get a roll of brown paper for bench protection when painting/gluing, thanks!

You need to purchase a tracksaw for sure. I purchased a festool tracksaw around 18months ago and I had my mind blown. It's just a fantastic bit of kit and in all honesty I don't know how i managed to do the things I do before I bought it. 18 months later and I still love using the tracksaw, you wouldn't believe just how many times I've told my wife that it's the best tool that I've ever purchased 🤔😂. As always buddy 💯% 👍 🇬🇧.

My father had the same RAS he bought in the late 60's. He then bought a newer one in the mid 90's (which I still have).
I replaced my dad's contractor table saw with a cabinet saw 6 years ago. The best part of the cabinet saw is the terrific fence.
I never considered buying a better fence for the old saw. That would have enabled me to put off buying the cabinet saw
for a few more years. But I do enjoy the cabinet saw a lot.

Great video of your awesome shop. Your son should make and sell those Rigid battery holders. I know I’d buy some. Thanks for the tour and the inspiration!

Great shop. Mine has been a work in progress for 10 years (since I moved in), lol. Lots of great ideas. I'm looking forward to seeing the miter station build. That one I'm going to be doing soon. I think I'm going to make a miter cart that will sit on feet in the miter station, but can lower casters and pull out of the bench and use elsewhere when needing move capacity. Best of luck, God bless 🙌

[jjpiatek]

I appreciate your smaller tool holders that accommodate one or two tools. Many other options I've seen have slots for five or six tools, often including the chargers, which leaves no room for expansion unless you create something with double the capacity you currently need. A smaller, modular design is definitely the way to go. The same goes for your clamp holders.

Put tiny shims between your horizontally stored wood to allow air movement.

That cup holder has potential! I think you want the cup to be higher than the arm of the chair and maybe the yeti is. I'd incorporate a hidden compression spring that would normally squeeze the chair arm, and you would need to pull on a boss of some type to take the spring pressure off and remove the holder. That way there are no knobs to deal with. I'd also try making it capable of one hand operation. Anytime you can eliminate a step it's worth the time and thought it took to bring you there.

[Bebonkin]

You definitely have a larger shop then my 10 X 12 shop. You make good use of your space too. I have most of my tools now, still missing a couple, but I will get them soon enough. I like the French Clet system and will probably incorporate that in mine, you can store soo many items on there.

Keep up the good work Dave, thanks for being an inspiration.

That looks like the same Katz Moses style router fence I made for my router wing. I guess great minds think alike! 😉

[ChristophHintze-ly]

Twice as large as my shop. My shop is in a 12x20 barn/shed. I'm still in the beginning of setting it up.

[jimwhitefield]

Great video! I am always interested in viewing how fellow Canadians are laying out their shops. Some day, I may just have to post my own video!

[chrispayne]

I work out of a 8 by 12 shed. With my bench and my rigid contractor table saw in there, i don't have room for anything other than my hand tools and me in there lol.

[susangopher]

I was lucky to get a used Craftsman RA saw while they were still sending out the add-on guard for free. I'm debating how to reconfigure my shop either keeping it or not, going with circular saw and guide and getting rid of tablesaw. Both crappy mitre saw and old but heavy duty tablesaw should be upgraded. I need to use the RA saw more to see what all it can do!

[jronmanbuilds]

Nice shop. You mentioned a new miter station, and you mentioned it needing to have some kind of dust hood or enclosure but if you would prefer not to have a dust hood, you might consider some of the aftermarket dust ports from Shop Nation. He has designs for a number of saws including some saws that are rail forward. You just remove the factory port and replace with his design. I haven’t tried his out yet but I have heard the dust collection is quite impressive. Festool Kapex levels of collection or better is what I heard. I even heard he solved some of the reduced performance issues that the factory dust ports have when the slider saws are extended out.

I used to think tv exaggerated that Canadian accent.

[aball]

I'd kill for a 20x24 shop. Try using a 8x15 with a 24" wide set of stairs in it.
I have several flip carts. In this tiny shop I have
10" table saw
Drill press
Grinder
Jointer
Surface planer
Belt sander
Sliding crosscut saw
Work bench

So cramped.

[alexgombash]

Nice setup! Quick question on the table saw fence. What modifications(holes drilled etc.) did you have to do to get the fence system to work with the table saw?

[Steve-drrr]

Bigger than we have in U.K. I’ve got luxury at 16ft x 10ft most are 8ft x 4ft
