I have the Center Drive Plus amzn.to/3qZklqU

I appreciate how this isn’t just a generic list of power tools but items that you seem genuinely excited and interested in using.

When you find a place for all your plastic containers, get some 1/4" plywood and make separate shelves for each one. Don't fall for that "stackable" because you will never want the one on the top. Been there.

I found your workshop on Google Earth I just had to look for the large pile of empty Coors cans.

Every time I go to Home Depot I buy a couple of inexpensive Stanely tape measures. I must have over twenty of them yet I can never find a damned tape measure.

I finished my shop walls with 7/16" osb, and stained it with minwax red mahogany. Nailer grids against the wall. The dark stain covers the black print on the other side. I laid 1/8" dark brown luan for the ceiling after putting stringers every 4'. Doesn't sag at all, and i have insulation bats sitting on top of it. It's nice and easy to move an 8x4 sheet to access anything large stored in my trusses. Really happy with everything.

We all know those lighters are for your MASSIVE scented candle collection.

Just wanted to say thank you for your content! I started a home care service business 2 months ago and watching your content has helped me make some good waves in the local competition around here. Merry Christmas.

I can say that I’m well satisfied with my Lincoln M P 210. When I needed a welder for dummies I bought it and used it to learn how to strike an arc. I’ve used it for several projects in the past few years. I’m no professional welder by any stretch but I can use what I have to burn metal that holds. It had the option of being able to be used on a 20amp 120 volt circuit as well making it extra portable to do light jobs where 220 isn’t available and where I really don’t want to tote a generator, like upstairs in an urban environment where you have done repairs in the past. Just a thought..... or two. Keep putting out record setting content handyman!

SEP IRA! Great recommendation! I’m in the same boat this year. Good vids. Thanks!

I enjoyed your video. I love how we all share tips and suggestions with each other. I also love the Gerber multi-tools. However, I like the less expensive Gerber Suspensions because, for only like $30, I'm not afraid to lose it and I also feel naked when I don't have one on me. For me, multi-tools are like sunglasses. I only seem to lose expensive sunglasses but I never loose the cheaper ones, lol. All the best to you and yours!

Hey, thanks for getting vulnerable there, and showing the rest of us that work hard for a living that it is not unheard of to have some disorganization in the shop. I just got done setting up my new storage shelves and “bench.” Now to get to the rest of the stuff in the middle of the shop. Love to hate or hate to love HF. Ya just can’t beat the price on some of that stuff. Great vid! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

Might have to look into that SEP IRA...as always, thank you for your knowledge and advice Handyman

Been a Timberframer for 25+ years. Carpenter for 40. Almost always been lead carpenter/ superIntendent on jobs. Do handyman stuff as well now. You don’t need a bunch of gimmicks and tools. You need knowledge and skills.

I've always used Miller but my dad bought the Lincoln 210 last Christmas and I used it to build a trailer with no issues at all. 1/2" tubing. I'm sure you would be happy with it.

I have zero regrets about all the random shit i come out of harbor freight with....the magnetic dishes and tool holders are awesome.

I love my mp 210! Perfect for on the go jobs and camping. I used it a couple of time camping for someone. Work is everywhere..lol

I too have been watching Adam Savage for tool and hardware storage. Amazing the wealth of knowledge on the internet/KZfaq.

I have one of those clicker things, different manufacturer but exact same thing basically. I used it for the Christmas lights this year on the inside of the house, so much easier than going around unplugging everything. Those things are great, so many uses.

I sure enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.

I was dying laughing when you opened that cabinet and said “Go easy on me.” We all have that same issue. Just got a bunch of the dewalt organizers, planning to do the same thing.

I had an old lincoln welder , it welded ok, then I got a new miller multimatic 215, it migs tigs and stick welds, I love it, I paid about 1200.00 for it last year, I watch all your videos, keepem comin ☃️

I also watch Austin Ross welding KZfaq channel he has some great suggestions of welders to buy. The guy has been welding for 14 years and is a mobile welder. Mary Christmas 🎄

I have just recently over Xmas holiday fitted a Mitsubishi wall mounted heat pump to my mancave replacing the Chinese diesel heater.. much quieter, cleaner and over time cheaper to run . It’s doing a beautiful job.

The sander that hooks up to the shop vac that you use has saved me so much dust ache! That is probably the best “tool” I have been suggested from your channel! Keep it up and happy new year

Great video, all around great information. Don't have any experience with welders but will be interested in seeing what you end up with.

Harbor Freight small part storage solutions: I like the little black wall mount boxes with the clear pullout compartments- like 1.99 apiece and they all interlock with each other both on the sides and top and bottom so you can make a compartment bank as large as you want or need. They're around 21 cubic inches and being clear, they're excellent for small stuff and random miscellany.

It's nice to know so many of the tools and things I've figured out over the years are validated by a thoughtful guy like you

Bought Lincoln 210 mp last year and have been really happy with it.

Go miller hands down. I’ve used miller and Lincoln everyday for years and always went back to miller. I personally bought the miller 215, it’s around the same price range as the Lincoln you stated. Love the videos and hope this helps. The differences are minimal but for someone who doesn’t use it everyday it will make a difference. Worth the extra $$

Hey Handyman three things I love about you, number one that awesome beard, two those really cool t-shirts , and three that gorgeous ROLEX!. Really enjoy watching your videos keep up your great work Handyman!🍻

So glad I've found your channel, thinking about starting a "Handyman" property maintenance business. I'm a 30 year Electrician with some woodworking skills Quality advice Thanks for it all

You sir, are an inspiration. Thanks for rhe pointer on the SEP IRA. Many younger guys don't realize how powerful they can be.

For small parts that fit in small zip lock bags I use a binder with 6 per page baseball card holders. I know it sounds crazy but it works and you can fit a ton of stuff in a small space. Of course this is for small parts but those are the easiest to loose.

I’ve had the opportunity to up the mp 210 for job. Works awesome never a complaint. The only one that top the mp 210 is the multimatic 220. Looked it up and the price point is a little higher but it really is an all in one machine. Just less equipment for us to carry on the job.

I have that welding machine and it’s been a really reliable and good machine. Your looking at $2200 - $2500 for that machine to do what you want. $1,500 for the machine, $250-$300 for the spool gun, and $500 for the tig components. You’ll also need to dismantle the machine to add in tig components but irs only about 30-45 mins to do...

Love this channel

Thanks for the diesel heater update!

Handyman!!!! You are spoiling me with all this content!!!!

Nice video, thanks. I also have the Gerber center drive but paid less than $100 bucks for it a couple years ago. I'm building my house and plan to have a work shop so good stuff to know on things to get. I really like the remote control thingy. Gotta remember the filter behind the fan!!!

Got my HM hat couple of months ago. Well made and a fav of mine. Thanks!

Love your videos.

The beard is evolving in epicness.

love your channel!!!

For your workshop walls: A french cleat tool wall. Gets stuff off your tables, and gives a proper place for all your hand-held stuff.

i love it great work

Get an everlast welder, I’ve abused mine for 3 years now and it’s been great. The most bang for your buck out of any welder. A friend who welds Professionally uses them and he’s very happy with it. He uses his daily for the last 4 and hasn’t had a problem.

Mitre cut gauge! I found it on Amazon and ordered it. Used it. Liked it. Then I saw the Finish Carpentry guy, Richard using and recommending it. And now the Handyman too?! Very cool to find myself being up to date with a suggested useful tool. Thanks for the content HM! And I have been following and taking cues from Adam Savage Tested too.

Don't feel bad. I have at least 8 hammers, but couldn't find any of them so i had to go buy a hammer.

Glad I’m not the only that shops like that. “ need to have that”. Lol.

Can't wait to see some welding videos !!

Have the ghost portrait made into wallpaper to decorate the walls of the shop. I’d definitely tell the wife we’d have to buy the place.

I got the omnipro 220 from harbor freight and I love it - had it for over a year and have put some serious miles on it without trouble.

informative while also entertaining - good job!

Awesome content funny dude!

I have a buddy that does a lot of welding, and had bad results with a combo welder. Atleast where adding TIG into the mix was concerned. I think his combo mig/stick works fine for him. But now he has one dedicated for each.

I haven't used either the miter guage or bull nose corner tool and have been a carpenter too long. I also have been trying to organize my garage. My wife asks why i need so many screws. Lol. I saw a video that a pocket knife had a spot for interchangeable jig saw blades. Thought that was genius. Just bought the 12 inch dewalt chainsaw for 100 bucks. I would recommend that for trimming shooting lanes. I just cut down about 10 trees and a back yard of down wood. I wish i had a wood stove in my garage. Just a gas one with the model number of 8. Love it but need to burn a lot of wood. Nice video. I was hoping to see the spring nail set. Lol

Milwaukee has a soldering iron and you can’t live without that. It’s fricking awesome it’s read in 15 20 seconds

I've come to the conclusion that organization comes through visibility.For me things that go in drawers fall in the category of out of sight out of mind. My latest attempt is using clear Sterililte boxes of all sizes and a DYMO label maker for the contents. So far it has been a great help. I also have some of those stacking storage boxes, and they have labels as to the contents. The label maker is worth every penny it costs. I stick with the DYMO labels, I had a bad experience using off brand tapes.

Small storage idea....Akron mills. Tilt out bins. Wall mount. Different sizes. Can mount in trailer or shop. Love them things.

Also if you're in the Christmas accessories aisle. They have remote outlets you just plug in line with the cord of whatever you want. Has 3 channels. I use them to remote the Christmas lights and turn on the basement lights

As I have found over the years, when I buy a “multifunction” machine, I always end up buying another machine for a single purpose. I just have converting my machines and end up just getting dedicated machines for portable mig, portable stick, shop mig, ect. The multifunction machines have a good idea but always seems to waste too much time and become a hassle for me when it’s time to change processes.

Ermergurt Handyman... don't you know that the aluminum oxide on the outside of that can will mar your tablesaw surface?!? Lmao I love this video! Hell, half of why I watch these is making sure I'm not missing something to do when I build out the next shop.

Gotta say love the Ryobi battery operated soldering iorn heat control, heats up fast often 30 seconds Everlast

When I primarily converted from site work to Cab shop, we had a system of organization, which included two major things. Accesability (small Parts) and larger cabinets and drawers. Kitchen Cab's are great but arnt really suited for our stuff. Consider building a few custom sized Cab's based on your needs..(when you have time) lol as I havent even insualted my shop yet.. ugh

The HYDE sander and Home Right paint sprayer that you recommended work great! I replace the paint sprayer filters with Dollar Tree scotch-brite pads. they got clogged pretty fast wile painting the underside of a 2nd story deck. Thanks

I left this same post to one of your subs. The Starett Angle Finder... It’s an amazing tool, being able to transfer the angle of the cut directly to the miter saw. I got turned onto it by Richard @ Finish Carpenter TV. Richard goes into detail on separate videos with how to use both the Starett Angle Finder, as well as the bullnose measure and cut tool. If you haven’t seen his channel yet you should! He’s one of the best trim guys I’ve ever seen!! The tightest, tightest miter corners. He’ll show you how to caulk, miter baseboard, miter crown, understand spring angle and how to do the best cuts, including coping. I’ve learned a lot from him!

The 4 inch magnetic trays are on sale for 63 cents this month with coupon

Thank you! Gonna get those pens for sure.No nothing about welders but on your next paint project I only use Wooster Pro Dooz roller covers,just work great always! 3/8 or 1/2 inch your rolling a lot of walls.And Sherwin 2 1/2 inch Contractor Series Angle brush with thicker handle. BEARD🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Best Regards Todd Wynn Wynn Painting Ada ,Mi

I'm still rockin my Radio Shak soldering station.

Loved Adam Savage’s ts100 solder mobile satation using a dewalt or Milwaukee battery etc.. Had to have one myself😁 And yep, those little parts can be annoying, as with saw blades. Man, trying to store and carry saw blades just sucks; as no one really has made an affordable solution. Merry Christmas Handyman, stay warm🎅🏻

Just bought the 3rd hands soldering helper. Needed that.

I have the remote outlet in my shop for the shop vac/dust collection. I have 2 more currently in use on outside Christmas lights.

Love the channel. Filter on fan is backwards 😂

Miller Multimatic 220 AC/DC Welder. It's both a 120V or 220V Multi-process Machine. You will love it!

I worked for lincoln electric for 4yrs in Ohio. Best welding tools hands down.... Did you have any luck hunting this year? I didn't, not many opportunities to go out this year.

I'm glad you hopped on the center drive train. Isn't it nice? 90% of things that need addressing throughout my day can be done with it. If I was running a crew, everyone would have it.

I bought that same welder a couple years ago. The computer screen feature was an option then. Even I have been able to figure it out, but my son does a better job welding! I felt like I paid plenty for it, 15-1600, but it does work well. I wonder what the problem is with the HF welders. They are cheaper!

Tempted by the soldering station but I'm gonna have to get me some fancy markers for sure. Harbor Freight boxes rock.

Awesome...thanks!

I'm looking forward to seeing the shop come together more. I know it's not your primary money maker but man a shop like that would drive me nuts lol

I have that harbor freight storage container for small items, but am always worried carrying it that the lid will pop open. I prefer the larger (deeper) craftsmen container with nice locking latches, very strong and at Lowe’s for like $20

Brother you are having way to much FUN !!!! I LOVE IT !!!! KA

That is some fierce beard game, Handyman.

Any Miller will be a good machine!

I grabbed a remote last year from the Christmas light section at HD and use it on my vacuum detailing cars. I can turn it off without running to the vacuum and wasting time. Put additional lights on your 3rd remote for an area you sometimes could use additional light. Old Folgers coffee cans are great for organizing. HA On a serious note, what about the cubbie style holders that are a little bigger organized on a pegboard wall so they are low enough to see what is in them. Or my mom (retired skilled trades electrician & machine repair) had these gray boxes with clear front with pull out trays that were clear so you could see what was inside. Always full of nuts, bolts, washers, wire nuts, etc. They could be hung or sat level on a workbench.

someone's been watching Finish Carpentry TV for those trim tools! Great channel

Look into the Millermatic 200 Really depends what stick welding you are gonna do and rod type you plan to use 6010/7018/6013. it likes the 3/32 at lower temps but can run the larger rods a hotter temps. It is 110 or 220. I run mine off my 30A generator with the 3/32 rods.

I was looking at the marker you showed just yesterday looking forward to how you like them

The tote bins from harbor freight are great $5.99 on sale. I loaded up about 16 of them and built a section with dividers for them into my island table in my shop. I had put on labels on the outside of the center handle and when you look at them all stacked up you will see that the labels tell you what's inside. It works very well for me and hope it might for you. I can send you a video of them if I have your email address.

Hello have a good holiday.

Cheers!!

Good stuff, thanks Handyman.

Hey Handyman, what's your electrical opinion on this: Heunwa Power Save, 90V-250V 30KW Electricity Saving Box..sold on Amazon for like $15, suppose to stabilize current and reduce electricity usage...think it works?

I've had one of those angle finders for 20 years. Those are a must have tool. I think it's a Starett. Paid $29 as I recall. I thought that was kind of spendy for a piece of plastic, but it's a good plastic and a thing hasn't twisted a bit or broken in all these years.

That plugger inner thingy looks like the old thing that hung off the back of old UHF TVS. History repeats itself

I have those magnet dishes! In fact, I have about 12 of them and 11 are full of misc screws and washers ready to go into my unopened flat stack-able organizer tray. I don't know where the unused one is.... time to buy more.

Great video handyman, thanks

Oh man, I literally just went to Harbor Freight yesterday and bought the magnetic parts holder. Even though I actually went in to buy a pry bar...........

Handyman, when you label your containers also number them and take a picture of contents and put pictures on inside of the cabinet doors. Use Polaroid photos, work well.
