Fantastic tour! I love that the height of everything is all calibrated to the same 34" height. Giving a "retired" house Roomba a new life in the shop is such a good idea. Having something cleaning the shop floor every night and gets into those low, awkward would have a huge impact on dust.
@ZacBuilds 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks! And ya exactly, at least 70% of the dust ends up on the floor so this gets a big chunk of it!

Possible solution to your storage rack issue may be to sand the front edge so that it is a ~45 degrees bevel so that the front aspect is flush allowing you to slide boards in and out more freely. It may at least make it less likely that the boards get caught.

Teaching is the best way to learn. I am not at all qualified to teach woodworking, but whenever I explain small things to my friends, i learn so much. thats also why im creating a woodworking curriculum as an advanced credit at my school, since i can bet im going to learn from it.

Because you have rough concrete, I think it's actually a good idea to have the 1/4" ply on the ground to protect the sheets from abrasion taking them in and out. Even better would be to put a sheet of form-ply on the ground and the sheets will slip in and out very easily (not to mention help keep moisture away from the edges).

I love the beams up there just as part of the feeling of the space. The mini mezzanine makes sense, like it does in a garage. I like that all the work areas are open and free. You can basically add whatever guides or back rail but might not make them permanent so retain the open space. The CNC front we have that crazy beam-looking one called the OneFinity CNC Woodworker. You can run it vertically or sideways and hide it away easily. It's also great and a little more money because it's not using belts like most CNCs. It's got ball screw magic. A good option to keep in mind. Man, those windows in your shop are great.

Awesome shop! You'll really enjoy 3D printing things, I know I have. I've printed a ton of little accessories for various uses, even a router lift (haven't installed it, yet, though). One suggestion that'll save you time and workspace - instead of extending your miter saw fences (which will take up space on the work surfaces extending both directions from your saws), how about routing out a groove and installing a track into the surfaces? Then you could use a stop block (with or without stick-down measuring tape) and still have all of that surface available without having a fence sticking up in your way. Just a suggestion. Oh, and just subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to more great videos!

I love this! And since I am currently building my new shop! That t&g pine ceiling is something I need to add, same with the Bosch miter saw! I have hated sliding miter saws because of the depth they take up, but that Bosch does a pretty good job at space saving! I have used one at my school and now I need one! The space also looks good, and I think that is a critical factor in a shop. For me, a shop that looks messy and bad, doesn’t inspire me to make stuff in there, but this looks like a space I would spend days in! Your shop is basically my dream shop!
@ZacBuilds 2 жыл бұрын
The T and G was a stroke of goodluck, it was on sale at rona for a ridiculously low price and it makes the space feel so much nicer! And that'd exactly why I got this bosch saw, it allows you to put the saw right against the wall and keep things nice and compact. Thanks for watching man!
@ArpadBuildsThis 2 жыл бұрын
@@ZacBuilds Nice! Usually rona is kinda pricey, but on the rare chance an item does go on sale, it REALLY goes on sale! I am currently deciding on which tool to buy, a track saw, a helical planer, the Bosch miter saw, or cast iron wings for my sawstop… I don’t know which one to pick, but the Bosch saw might be the one I get… again, great video Zac!
@ZacBuilds 2 жыл бұрын
@@ArpadBuildsThis That's a tough call, those are all great tools. I think it really depends on what you need. I often try to think about what tools will save me the most time in the shop, and the best way to do that is to think about what the least enjoyable parts of the process are. Is your miter saw constantly messing up and causing you trouble, well then that might be the next tool to upgrade!
@ArpadBuildsThis 2 жыл бұрын
@@ZacBuilds thanks for the advice! My planer has been bothering me, but I don’t really use it that often. I don’t have a track saw yet… My miter saw works really well, it is a Dewalt 12” miter saw, but it is a non sliding saw, and I need that capacity. My table saw is a sawstop contractor saw, and I already upgraded it with the professional fence, but it comes with cheap stamped thin sheet metal wings, which always bother me, so I would like to upgrade those. Now that you have given me that advice, I am split between the table saw upgrades, or the chop saw. Probably whatever is cheaper (sawstop parts are quite expensive). Thanks for the advice!

Hey Zac , im not sure if you will read this. But i have a big yard with multiple projects going on. You mentioned an outdoor stationary work table. Just an idea. I just built a 4x8 mobile work table. Bottom frame is all 2x6 with plywood on top. 4 2x6 posts integrated through plywood. The top is a 2x4 frame with plywood on top. I used 8 inch swivel casters from harbor freight to keep cost low and there kinda all terrain air filled tire.( they support 250lbs pr tire ) So i have a large shelf on bottom with a nice flat top to move all around as needed. Cool videos btw.....

@ZacBuilds 2 жыл бұрын
No issue what so ever with slickness. The concrete still has some texture to it, so you get a lot of mechanical grip from it. If it were polished to a high gloss then I suspect the saw dust would make it a bit slippier. As for the sealer I used, it's been a while but I'm pretty sure it was the sico floor sealer.

Hey Zac, if you're thinking about adding a T-track system to the top of the assembly benches, why make the CNC a separate thing? If you're into 3D printing, check out stuff like the Lowrider2 MPCNC, like in this vid by TeachingTech from a while back: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rq93pciQqpjDn5s.html This way, you're utilizing the whole size of your assembly bench, using the t-tracks to clamp pieces to CNC, and depending on the setup it should be relatively easy to put out of the way when not in use.

Hey Zac, Love the tour. Question regarding the welding setup. I have been wanting to add welding to my shop but heard it will destroy the floor with slag and sparks. I have an epoxy coating so that gave me pause. Do you have any issues? Does it cause problems for the floor sealer you added? BTW, you mentioned adding t-track to your bench. Give my latest video a look how attacked that same problem. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esCWlM99yqjGYqs.html

Sometimes i htink about cnc machines and how humans might not be useful anymore or woodworking will be a full computer thing, but then i see how like 90% of woodworking isn't just cutting and that's all a cnc can do. plus people still want people made things, and automation only goes as far as people want, so if mankind wants everything to be automated, thats whats happening.
