The Shop Tour of a LIFETIME!

In this video we check out my friend shop. He has the most maker made tools I have ever seen in one place. His collection is amazing! Hand Planes like Rone Brese, HNT Gordon, Carl Holty, Bill Carter, Lazarus, and more! Axes, Draw Knives, Saws, Power Tools, Hand Tools, everything!

A few corrections from Lew (Thank you Lew!):
- large dark brown axe and the one next to it (on far left of axe/drawknife wall) were made by Ike Bullington at Wolf Valley Forge. He makes beautiful axes.

-Alot of the tools to the right were from Jason Lonon—adzes, drawknives, gouges. I also really love his stuff.

-Planes you ID’ed from Brazil were from New Zealand—close—both southern hemisphere. Philippe Marcou was the maker. He made the 3 small planes and the unusual small router planes.
Prices are in NZ dollars on website, so much cheaper in US dollars.

-old British infill planes above the window were Norris, Spiers, Mathieson and Slater.

Holy cow, what a shop. Looks like he raided a Woodcraft store plus a few other catalog companies. Thanks for posting this.🎉

Dude, I am really enjoying your channel. I broke my ankle and been watching your channel to pass the time on my couch. What an incredible shop you visited. Cheers from Utah.

you were definitely geeking out! That was some shop! Thank you for the tour! As far as the Incra fence goes, I don't find mine to be finicky at all In fact I have two incra fences both with the Wonderfence attachment. I think where it gets a bad wrap is the steep learning curve or multipart instructions to get a task done. IE half blind dovetails double dovetails etc etc. It is a process and you need to do it at least semi routinely so you don't forget how. (but that is pretty much true of most dovetail jigs) Their instruction manual is top of the class. Very thorough videos to get yourself back up to speed if you need to. I have an incra fence on my router table and I have it paired with a MLCS (now Hvalley out of philly) Power Lift Pro which to me is in class all of its own. its a digital router that you can set the height by .001" digitally via a mechanical step motor. So between the the fence and the motor I have the next best thing to a CNC or at least I have CNC precision! ( I do own a shaper origin but thats another story all together) My other Incra Fence is on my table saw and again, repeatability is the key here. It is soooo sweet to be able to make a cut move the fence then come back and make the same cut as the first and have it dead on each and every time. Plus I have a 2nd router table in the side wing of my Table saw so the fence acts as a router fence there when I need it too! I live outside the DC metro area in VA. if you are ever in the area, you're more than welcome to stop by. Im more power tool than Hand Tool but I do have the required set of good quality hand tools that every woodworker should have. Oh and that G700 yeah it was the bomb! I had one in my old shop in the attached garage. Had to have something that didnt disturb the family. But Now that I'm in my new stand alone shop, I went full cyclone. The two negatives with the g700 for me was the small capacity(always emptying that thing) and having to lug a hose to every machine in my shop. It is so nice having dedicated ducting to each and every tool! You could duct the g700 as well but it simply isnt as powerful as my 5hp Clear Vue.

Wow! What a shop, dude!!! 😮
Thanks for sharing this!
But hey, right in the beginning... You scared me with the mouse cursor! 😂
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Such a well thought out shop and complete (couldn't wish for anything else).
I wouldn't put planes in windows because UV damage. They'd be toast here in Australia rather fast.
New Zealand are our next door neighbours, and a frigging long from Brazil.

Remember when BlueSpruce made a coping saw? They took it away right when we widely realized it was fantastic and worth the money. The Fear Of Missing Out is so intense sometimes. I mostly ignore it but dang some of them sting so much.

[ArnallWoodworks]

the amount of money in tools there is incredible. How does he like the Kimmons drawknife?

[B.A.Bassangler]

KIller shop tour! Mine is no where neat that level, but I love a mix of magnets and decorative but usable display as well. You should do well with a Laguna 14" bs. I already had a Grizzly so I just added a riser kit for $135. Only 60 amps in my shop, gotta watch the HP, maybe upgrade the motor one day.

My Incra bends and twists. I have it on a Powermatic. It’s mounted poorly. It’s trying to suspend to much weight for what it is. Wood Pecker or Jesson will eat them for not continuing to innovate. He is buying quality and high resale value. Nice job. Buy the biggest bandsaw that you can jam into the shed I say

Hi Jamie. Beautiful tools, for sure. An enviable shop. But I would be more interested if this was balanced with examples of what have been built with these tools. Otherwise all it takes is money - taste as well :) ... so money and good taste in tools. Furniture? Regards from Perth, Derek
