In this video we'll go from bare slab to fully framed shop! This is my absolute favorite part of any building project because you can really see it come to life. The crew doing this work was so fast it only took them a couple days...including a crazy-fast first day putting up the walls!
This shop is going to be awesome! Make sure you're following along!
Part 2 of the dream shop build is all about the foundation...and it's crazy. After a TON of excavation our concrete contractors began to install the most overkill foundation they had ever seen (no joke). It's a long story but I tried fighting the designer months ago because I had a suspicion it was a bit much. Oh well! We're here now and the shop build is fully underway.
Tag along as we move mountains of dirt and put in mountains of concrete! This shop isn't going anywhere...

I've dreamt of building a shop for a long time and it's finally starting! I'm limited on how large it can be based on my lot and township restrictions, but I'll make up for that with awesome finishings and features. But since I enjoy pain I'm also simultaneously going to build out our backyard into an oasis for the family. This project is HUGE and it's daunting to say the least...but hey, one step at a time, right?

With most tool manufacturing now overseas, it's rare to find a power tool brand still making tools in the USA - but Shopsmith is. Shopsmith has been around for almost 80 years and at one point was a major brand in the hobbyist woodworking community. Sadly, today it only employs around 20 people and is facing bankruptcy.
It was recently acquired by Nick who hopes to bring this American icon back to life. In this video we take a tour of the Shopsmith factory in Dayton, OH to find out how they are going to make their comeback. I love manufacturing and found this tour very interesting!
Do you wish more tools were still made here in America? What advice would you give Shopsmith for their epic return?

I'm expanding my 3D print farm which currently has 36 Prusa mk3S+ printers. I plan on adding about 9 more but want to know if the Prusa i3mk3S+ is still the best print farm production machine. It's been the gold standard for many years but are there new and better options? I'll be testing the Prusa mk4 and the Bambulabs P1P to see if they can outperform my current fleet.

Yes, the cat is out of the bag.

It's about time I finish up the roof on the Camphouse Shed after almost 2 months of only having about half of the roof up. I'm also going to get all of the trim and siding put up to get this thing completely weather-proof and ready for final finish.

It's about time to get the windows and doors installed in the camphouse shed. There are a total of 9 windows, including 1 custom window that I make myself, and 2 doors in this design. All of the windows are single-pane utility windows since this shed wont' be insulated or climate controlled. There is a steel man-door and a 6'x7' steel roll up door as well.
Per usual, I've never done any of this before so buckle up for more learnings at my expense. One of the biggest learnings happened when I discovered I had framed my man-door entry too small...so I get to cut into my brand new walls and fix that - fun!
I also find out that installing a large metal roll up door alone is not only tricky, it's downright dangerous! I narrowly escape disaster standing that door up but I do get it into place.
With all of that complete this shed is getting closer and closer to being done. Winter is definitely coming and I need to hurry and finish!
Thanks for watching and following along. Be sure to drop a comment if you enjoyed it or if you'd like to scold me for doing something wrong. Both are welcome!

In the last video I left the shed with a less-than-stellar temporary roofing job hoping that it would protect the shed during the upcoming rain. Spoiler alert: I failed - mostly.
In this video I fix my mistakes and finish off the waterproofing steps including applying the house-wrap and properly securing the roof underlayment. I then move onto installing the roof itself. For this project I am using Premium Pro-Rib roofing that I purchased from Menards. I got all of my roofing components in charcoal black.
I have never done any kind of roofing work in my life, let alone installing a metal roof. To add to the complexity I had to order all of the roofing materials 3+ weeks before I even built the shed! What could go wrong??

When I started this project all of the leaves were green and now I find myself surrounded by the colors, and temperatures, of fall. This means that winter is approaching and with it comes rain & snow. I need to get this thing dried in ASAP!
Before we can do that I have to do some more framing, sheath the walls, and build out the front porch of this shed. The porch ended up being it's own adventure as you will see. Only when all of that is complete can I move onto sheathing the roof which is the first step to creating a dry structure.
With 24 hours on the clock I needed to sheath and waterproof this shed - alone. Can I do it? Is it a crazy? You'll just have to watch and find out!
Excited to see the progress so far but we have a ways to go, please consider subscribing so you can follow along as I build this over-the-top-bougie-shed.
In the previous video we created the concrete foundation for the "camphouse shed" project - and it didn't exactly go as planned. With the slab issues behind us we can move onto framing.
In this video I get the entire shed framed out including adding building custom roof trusses. You'll see that I learned a lot along the way but I ended up with a pretty solid structure that we can continue building on.
I still have plenty to do on this project so be sure to check out the rest of the series!

I'm embarking on a journey to build a completely over-the-top shed in my backyard that I hope turns out to be a secluded oasis to enjoy with the family. I have never done anything like this before so every step will be a learning opportunity. In this first episode I clear the area and pour a 15'x16' concrete foundation for the eventual 12'x16' shed that I designed.
You'll see that don't exactly get off to the best start but I won't let it slow me down. We will overcome!

Over the years my fleet of 3D printers has grown from 1 to 10 and I need a place to put them! Up to this point the printers have been scattered around my house and since I just ordered 4 more Prusa i3 mk3S+'s - I think it's about time to build a print farm.
A print farm can be as simple as a shelf really, but what I'm after is efficiency. I will do this by being intention with my layout so that it matches my workflow. I want everything I need in close proximity and nothing extra!
Even if you're not into 3D printing (at all) there are probably some takeaways or ideas you can apply to your shop or workspace. Thanks for watching!

Even the most immaculate shops out there have some areas that are disorganized. That is why "Shop Greatness" is always a journey not a destination. In this video I point my attention to a neglected (but highly used) cabinet in my shop that I used to hold my painting supplies. I walk through my process for organizing and show a very simple solution to a very messy problem.
With some scrap MDF and some old pull out part organizer bins you can make a BIG difference in your shop. Look around and see what you can use to make your shop life easier! We all know that working in our shop doesn't have to be a chore so do yourself a favor and get after it!

The RIDGID 4251 & 4241 as well as the Delta Cruzer 26-2251 & 26-2241 are a compelling value for dual bevel sliding miter saws - especially for most garage shops. In this video I'll take you through the features, my thoughts after using my RIDGID for 6+ months, and ultimately whether or not I think you should get one.
There are a couple potential deal breakers with this saw but assuming you can get past them - it's tough to beat from a value/capacity standpoint. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the review. Did this video help you in your decision? Did it re-enforce your original thoughts? Anything I missed? Leave them in the comments!
Thanks for watching! Get out there and pursue some SHOP GREATNESS!
So yeah I quit my full time job. I am going to take a massive leap of faith and go out on my own with YouTube becoming a major focus for me. I've been doing YouTube part time for almost 5 years now and I've slowly been coming to the realization that I should just go after it.
In this video I talk about why I made this decision and how I got here. I think this can be helpful for anyone else out there struggling with finding passion in their job. I was a mechanical engineer working a comfortable job making great money - until I threw it all away.
I needed to make a folding bar shelf for our outdoor patio and decided to go the extra mile with this "Nelson Table" inspired design. I am by no means a seasoned woodworker - hence the title of this video. You will see me struggle through the build as I share all of my mistakes and tips so that you can hopefully avoid them!
The project turned out really cool and features a built-in outlet, decorative metal sign, and even LEDs for "party mode" out on our patio.

Whether you have the RIDGID 4251 or the 12" Delta Cruzer (26-2251) - you know the dust collection on those saws is awful. It's a shame that such a cool tool falls so hard on it's face when it comes to capturing sawdust. Good news! I've designed a solution to help fix that and I'm happy to say they are now available as well.
This video marks the 3rd video documenting my attempts to board the struggle bus and tackle this issue. I'm a neat freak and the thought of this saw spewing sawdust all day was too much for me to handle. Hopefully my hard work can make some of your shops out there stay a bit cleaner.

I think I did it. Or at least got as close as I'm willing to get. Turns out solving dust collection on a sliding miter saw represents catching a unicorn in the woodworking world. There are so many variables at play that forming a solution that also allows you to use the saw - while still being effective - is very challenging.
Through an iterative process I have arrived at 2 promising solutions to try. I designed and 3D printed a solution for each and tested the final versions. The results were surprising (though not in the same disappointing way that the first go around was). The travelling chute turned out to be the winner and oddly enough was also the simplest. Funny how things work out sometimes...

Let's face it, dust collection on a miter saw is hard. There have been many attempts to fix it and it just hasn't quite been cracked yet. After getting my new miter saw (Ridgid 4251) I decided I want to tackle just that.
Right off the bat - this Ridgid as well as it's clone the Delta Cruzer have pretty terrible standard dust collection options. Due to the dual arm sliding mechanism there just wasn't much room for the design engineers to accommodate one - or they just gave up trying. That means that addressing the dust collection on these particular saws is very important.
I started by really looking at the saw and trying to understand where the sawdust is generated and where it is thrown by the blade. Then I mocked up a simple box that sits behind the blade that shrouds the blade as best as possible. Next I took that concept and modeled the entire thing in Fusion 360. Once that design was optimized I loaded up the part files in my 3D printing software and printed them!
I've got to say that the end result is pretty sweet but during testing...I realized I still have a lot of work to do. There is a significant design flaw with my contraption and it was way less effective than I thought it would be. I will be continuing this saga in a future video but would love any input and ideas from you on how to improve it!

I think I finally nailed the drill and driver storage in my shop with this cool "adjustable" solution mounted under my cabinets. It's such a simple concept I'm actually mad at myself for not thinking of it earlier. Each hanger is held in place by (2) bolts that ride inside of some parallel T-Track. When I'm happy with the position I simply tighten it down in place.
I think this adjustable concept can apply in so many areas around your shop! What ideas do you have for this? Let me know in the comments below.

In this video I will cover the process of solving a real-world problem with a 3D printer. I will cover the steps taken to go from concept to reality. I get a lot of questions about the 3D printing process and requests to do a video like this so I hope you enjoy.
The problem that we will be solving for is not actually in the shop but on my...aquarium. Yes I just happen to be setting up an aquarium in our house and ran across some parts that I needed to print. I'll show you from start to finish just how I did it!

In this video I take an honest look at my workflow in my shop and attempt to make it more efficient. I'm focusing on the "glue up" which is a common repetitive task that I always find myself doing when making wood projects. Up to this point I've stored all of the supplies and tools for doing this in random places around my shop.
The first step was to gather all of the tools and materials I typically use for this activity. Then it was a matter of working through how I would use them and come up with a storage solution that made sense. I ended up re-purposing (2) upper cabinets to store the supplies and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
The process was quick and easy but MAN has it made a difference in my shop! I really think that this type of DIY organization project is approachable for anyone and is sure to make your life easier. What are you waiting for?
