Pro tip: at night, in the dark, dont confuse those wood screws and the Cadbury eggs.... (looks like a really nice shop!)

[dkman]

So nice that you got a lemon tree that just happened to have a shop attached.

Better help pays their therapists just over 1/2 market rate and sells ALL of your personal information Except medical (because HIPAA), it may not be a scam perse, but it is still pretty gross. Look up the FTC complaint/charges, seeing well-meaning creators shill their predatory sites (standard, christian, lgbtqia) is depressing.

For the dust collector, you need to think in 3 stages: capture as much at the source as possible, have a way to clean up what settles and something to clear the air. I would see if you can talk Oneida into donating you one of their supercell or gorilla units. If you can swing it all get one with a HEPA final filter at the end. If not Wynn environmental can get you set up. You may need a separate circuit for the table saw and dust collector. Some places will do the design of the ductwork if you buy it from them. As far as the clamp rack goes Fine Woodworking has enough stuff on their website to get you started, you won’t need super detailed plans. If you have questions I’ll bet there is a woodworking club you could go to, if nothing else to see who in your area has good service.

Personally, I think the exposed end of the workbench looks great. I'd much rather see all the little containers than a board of plywood, especially since you've got a nice, purple gradient going from bottom to top.

This shop is great. Hopefully, the owners saying they have trouble renting the space means they'll never want to give up their perfect renter.

I’m from Denmark, hearing 240 as exiting is normal here, I have 3 400 volts outlets at the house as well, which is normal for houses from the 70ties. You should do a build video of that table, it’s awesome.

Adam Savage has most of his stuff on wheeled carts and it makes a lot of sense to me. Also, GREAT use of space, those little dispenser drawers for screws and stuff; it makes zero sense to waste space for looks in a working workshop.

Congrats Xyla on no longer having your screws loose! 😜

[micahgin]

I think the first thing you need to make is a lemonade juicing stand. So you can have fresh cold lemonade in the shop on demand.

Super cool. A standalone building near the house for a shop is my dream. And it's amazing how a beautiful yard/garden affects your whole psyche for the good. Okay here is the algorithm for populating the wall tool boards that worked for me. Get three giant boxes. Put all candidate tools in box 1. After you use a tool from box N, put it in box N+1. Every so often put everything back in box 1. Maybe a week of shop use. After using a tool that made it to box 3, hang it on the wall. When the wall is full, stop and put what's left into storage cabinets. Kind of a Hunger Games competition where the wall is the prize.

Shops are never done as long as you keep learning and doing new things. Take joy in how well it works *now* and look forward to the changes that will come.

[alfs]

Xyla, modular is all you need to know for the “perfect” shop! Put everything on casters like you’ve done so you can move everything around as needed like a big wooden Tetris game 😊

[shogun]

Cave Johnson would be proud.
LEMONS!
I'm so happy for you Xyla, this is amazing.

[colinkelley]

Xyla, you need an industrial sewing machine table and a knitting machine. Where will you put the arc welder, and the sheet metal bender, and the rebar/wrought iron bender, and the forge, and the concrete mold making set up, and the vacuum mold, and the upholstery set up? Life is such an adventure. So many tools, so little time. Way to go kid. Congrats.

[barrylinkiewich]

The snacklebox is one of the most important tools in the shop!
In the summer I always keep a pack of something munchy out there because sometimes you're in the groove and you don't want to go inside but you need a little pep to keep rockin. A handful of almonds or mini eggs or whatnot is just the right lil snack to keep you going.

[Dr.K.Wette_BE]

Some kind of concept I "invented" at my job for finding small things like screws and nuts :
It's the same everywhere, after some time you end up with a huge box of mixed "things / stuff".
Instead of sorting by precise use, size, type... I sort by basic, very simple specifications : "screw - bolt - washer", "large - small", "for wood - metal"...
Since a few weeks, this has proven to be efficient, even on professional scale where time is money and "buy new instead of searching / sorting".

[jerryeykholt]

Great start on the new shop! I’d shoot for a jet or similar dust collector - but main question is whether you go for ducting or move to the tools you are working on. I’d also shoot for an overhead filter for fine dusts (the greatest threat to lungs). I didn’t look closely, but I didn’t see anything for fire safety or a first aid station. Get that checked off first.

[canuck]

she is not just a sweetheart but smart, joyful, industrious and is a pleasure to watch and learn from. 👍👍😊😊👌👌

[BeeeHonest]

Put a small used 2 or 1 person couch at a "not too dusty" corner with a reading lamp behind it. Some times I like to sit at the corner of my own place at just stare at the room while playing some nice music while taking a short break from project. Feel protected and safe.

[TexRobNC]

Such a fan of buying plans to start, so much less daunting. I did that for a shed I built many years ago, and it was so great to just lightly tweak that, rather than try and do it from scratch.
