03: Five Shop-made Tools You Got To Have In a Small Shop

preview_player
Показать описание
A quick demonstration of my favorite shop made improvements and innovations for space saving and low cost. A revolving tool station, a mutant shop vac, the cross cut sled, a mechanical workbench and more.

The "lift" mechanism for the workbench and the double drawer slide idea come from American wood worker mag feb 2014. Everything else (as best as I can remember) is original.

Link to Video on The Tool Carousel.

The duct tape part was meant to be a joke. As I was taking the fan out of the box I decided it would be more entertaining to use the cardboard box the fan came in instead of making a wooden box with latches. This is why I painted the box and all that. However, in the context of the video most people think that was the design from the beginning. Taping the box each time would certainly be wasteful, and there are many options that are better such as latches or Velcro.

Final Note:
PLEASE UNDERSTAND...I receive hundreds of messages on all platforms (email, Facebook, Instagram, comments, etc) asking for advice, and help with projects. At this volume, I simply can't do one on one advice. I have tried to help enough times to know I should never assume I have all the relevant information in the message, and even basic questions can produce a lot of followup questions. I do read all the questions, and if I get the same ones over and over I make videos about it to help lots of people. Thanks for your understanding on this.

Jeremy, I'm a 69 year old handyman. I want to tell you that your are second to none. The quality of your thinking is excellent. Your use of YouTube as a source of education is exemplary. Your use of available space, your demonstrated ability to make things compact, your ability to interrelate components, and your makes you a young master. Your ability to salvage, and to upgrade, makes you so valuable that I'm glad you're on our side. You have a comforting humble way about yourself, and have an inherent respect for your viewers as shown in your language and tone of voice. More than all, you've learned how to learn and I see you doing very good things in the future. I used to work for a mill here making arched windows. The owner began in a small garage. His ability to think through problems that he called "challenges" made him grow into a specialized woodworking custom company. Chuckle, I can see you hosting "This Little Garage" on PBS. Norm Abrams of the garage.

Yeah, you killed it on the Dewalt DW745 with the slide out, pivot, raise saw to be level to workbench table top so it doubles as outfeed table.

I had this saw for $245.00 tax at Home Depot, but then took it back with plans to get Ridgid R4512. DeWalt was a good saw but loud. The Ridgid will be quieter, but take up more space and cost more. I may have kept the Dewalt had I seen this video earlier. Thanks for sharing your set up and great ideas.

I have seen many people and projects on YouTube for several years and have learned a lot. But I have to say I have never seen a more incredible home workshop with minimal space constructed from what you have in such a fashion. Absolutely genius my man, thanks for sharing video, well done.

I spend a LOT of time on youtube and am very infrequently inspired to comment but I have to say that what you've done with the space you have is extremely impressive! Great video and outstanding ingenuity!!! I'll be borrowing a couple of your ideas soon. (Air cleaner in a box w/ duct tape is #1 on my list.) THANKS!!!

Jeremy you are a great inspiration, your videos are proof that you can have a great maker space with little money and a small workshop.

Deeply clever solutions for real people (who don't own million dollar dream shops). Even then, anyone can find use and inspiration from your designs. Great job!

The rotating table is genius! Seriously clever hacks. This is by far the best space saving workshop I've seen.

I love that you used a centrifugal fan for your dust collector. So much better than the usual box-fan creations I see.
