Set up your own woodworking shop this weekend! ►
Woodworking job plans ►
My workshop has actually come a long method because I first began shooting store tours 14 years ago. It's now a much more minimalist and deliberate space. It's been enjoyable to see how my store has actually developed, and I'm constantly searching for brand-new ways to improve it. If you're setting up your own workshop, I hope you'll discover some inspiration from my tips and techniques!

OMG that saw is 12 years old?! I started watching you before that surprise happened, and started paying closer attention after you posted about that bc I figured anyone who attracted that kind of support back then must know what they’re doing. You definitely are. Thanks for such excellent content Steve! (and for getting me into horror films… found footage is my guilty pleasure 😜)
No guilt lol! I LOVE found footage films! Here’s one of my favorites recently: https://youtu.be/wWNMsZ44ooc?si=yfHY4YF6JfoAhpwb
Thanks Steve! Mobility is a great idea – I like your finishing cart especially!
Happy New Year Steve! Good to see a video from you, it’s been a while. I’m working on my shop, it’s always a work in progress… I’ve gotten around to making a dust collection system, on a cart with casters… of course! Adam Savage just did a shop tour of his “cave” recently, if you hadn’t already check that out… 2024 is the year of amazing shop transformations. Cheers!
Looking good! I like the way you have thought about the layout so that your workshop helps rather than hinders. I just have to find a way to do the same thing in about a quarter of the space (unless my motorcycle goes outside – then I have a little more). Once I do that maybe I can do that weekend woodworker course I paid for about 3 years ago!
You got this!
Excellent shop tour Steve! My take away is that I have been watching your channel for way to long now! HNY & keep up the great work & making videos for us “Mere Mortals”! 👍👍😉😉
Thank you so much for watching
YES!! It’s ALWAYS a good day when Steve posts a shop tour video!
I love shop tour videos. I get lots of ideas from them. I’ve been watching Steve for many years and I always feel good when he shows his sink because it actually looks worse than mine! Thanks, Steve, for all you do!
Thank you for watching!
Shop tours are always inspiring and to be completely honest, the foldable workbench on the wall is so inspiring I’ll make one for my future workshop when I get to owning one! So neat! Long time fan now, will always be excited for new videos
Thank you!
Thanks for the tour Steve. I’m in desperate need of organization and you’ve given me some fine ideas. I love all of your cabinets! I probably need to move everything out like you do and then come up with a plan that works. I appreciate all of your content! I hope you have a fabulous 2024. 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thank you!
I’m currently improving my workshop, so its nice to get some revision from my first YouTube woodworking teacher!
Hi Steve. Happy New Year to you. Thanks for the shop tour. I am presently using a section of my garage for my work. Mobility is key for me. Victor in South Africa 🇿🇦
It seems like a shop tour is the perfect time to remind steve that he has entertained and educated me. Thanks.
Loved this. I have the Weekend Workshop course and I love love love seeing those projects getting so much work in your shop.
I learn something every time I see what you’ve done. My favorite is your wood cart in the back. I built that for my shop and it is great! I have one tool I need to drop. Years ago I got a hollow chisel mortising machine. I have yet to use it!
Just before COVID, we moved and I went from a 3-car to a 2-car garage. Seeing your folding workstation solved my problem of what to do with a fairly large work table. Now that, and everything else fits along the perimeter of the space, and two cars still fit!
It’s been awhile since I went through the course, but a good idea is to make a drawing of your garage on graph paper, so that it’s easy to scale. Then draw and cut out your tools, workbenches and cabinets (or even your car) and move them around on the garage drawing to easily create possible layouts. This can provide a good starting point.
Awesome tour! I had a question about air filtration: would you recommend the Wen you have, or if you had to do it again would you go with another make/model? I’m thinking of installing an air filtration device in my shop, but they’re not exactly like hand tools or small power tools where I can give them a try in the store before buying.
Thanks!
Interesting points! I’ll try to use the same approach for parts of my lab as well 🙂 well done
Thanks 🙏🏼 for all of the inspiring videos! You are very creative!
Just commenting because I’m so grateful for your amazing down to earth content. I love watching some others, but I see a lot more tools of the quality I have laying around in your shop instead of the festools I see in every other video. I know they’ve earned it, but I like to see techniques performed with my tools sometimes. Thanks for all you do Steve!
