Thanks for watching! What tool should I make room for next in my wood shop?!?

[danielgeng]

Hey, a little advice from a 61 year old life long woodworker. You showed a clip of yourself cross cutting a long board on the rip fence verses a crosscut sled which is pretty sketchy to begin with but you were also feeding it from the offcut side of the blade, the is a recipe for a kickback and I can tell you from experience that’s no fun. My intention is not to criticize just to prevent you from learning the hard way that a Sawstop can still injure you. Great shop! One more thing, only turn on the dust extractor on the ceiling when you’re not in the shop using the timer feature, reason is it pulls the dust past your face causing you to breathe it.

I had to come back twice to watch the full video, excellent job and thanks for sharing. Having as many tools mobile is super helpful and I picked up a fire blanket for my laser as well. 👍 I like your continuous improvement mindset, keep up the great work!

I, too, struggle with my Laguna 14/12 bandsaw. I cannot resaw to save my life! Glad to know I'm not alone.

[robertmcewen]

nice setup, give you a lot of credit; very informative and well narrated; thank you for sharing!

[isabelpenabarrientos]

I have an 8ft by 6 ft shed! So what you have is enormous - very lucky!

[JohnnieFernandez-ddfp]

Great shop, first time over here. Now you have a new subscriber from Costa Rica😊

Retired in Sept, 2024. I work out of a 3 car garage. 2 bays for tool storage and one bay to work in. All machines are on wheels. SawStop PCS Tablesaw including a built in router table, a belt/disk sander, a chopsaw with a small outfeed table, a 6" jointer, Dewalt planer, floor drillpress, portable dust collector, Grizzly bandsaw, scrollsaw and a 55" rolling toolbox. I also have a Kreg tracksaw and the associated table which is also on wheels. I have to move out my wifes' car to be able to work. Nuts!

Hi Winnie, If you’re having drift problems with your bandsaw try adjusting the blade tracking. Depending on where the blade is sitting on the convex wheels can affect the drift. Moving the blade forward or back of centre of the wheels might do the trick. Can be finicky to set up because you’ll need to adjust all your blade guides each time but I had success with this. Thanks for posting your shop tour, great job!

[TheWendyJohnson]

Thanks for the tour, Winnie! I love your honesty about the different pros and cons of the tools and appreciate that you're willing to spend $$ on quality tools. Obviously all of us can't do that but it's something to aspire to. I also liked the slight "edge" you displayed in this video. It was more off-the-cuff, with a few cuss words thrown in for good measure. Very relatable and down-to-earth. Howev, we missed seeing your pup! <3 Great to see your channel continuing to pick up speed. Bravo!!

[ΓΕΡΑΣΙΜΟΣΣΤΡΑΓΓΑΣ]

I like your shop very much, i think you are use your available space pretty smart. I like also your tools choices 😊 . Wish joyful creative and safe time in your shop.

[williamhuffaker]

I really enjoyed your woodshop tour as well as your reasoning for your various decisions. I appreciate your honesty in giving your dislikes as well. All of us make decisions about products before we actually know how to use the tool well.

For the dust collection, the corrugated hoses drop the pressure a lot. Blast gates will help but minimizing the lengths of those flexible corrugated hoses and replacing those wherever you can with solid pipe will make a huge difference--it did in my shop!

[windhamcabin]

Awesome use of the space! I had a similar square foot shop for a long time.

I'll never understand people hating on sawstop and festool lol. Two of the best available!
Take care Chris

[bjlpfro]

You are an excellent speaker. Good enunciation and no er's etc.

[vvjkumar]

Much respect with your level of organization

[rightsidedownstudio]

Such a great shop and Channel! love your content.

[MikefromMOMichaelTurner]

Well done!! And well put! I like the way you didn’t put fronts on the outfeed drawers. Function and form 😊 keep up the great job 👍

[elliotguerrero]

really enjoyed touring your shop (thanks), it's good that you also address several safety features. On that note, I'd say it would be good if you also had an extinguisher on the other side of your shop as well.

[JamieEvans-yj]

Great video! I also work out of my car garage and make many of the same concessions / adjustments as you. Love your attitude about learning as part of the woodworking process.
