"Dictify" It is a word, but I never heard it used in a sentence before today, but I'm only 68, and life still holds many surprises. Makes me dizzy trying to keep up with this busy, busy guy.

The hours that this video represents going over so much old footage your library index is a whole other occupation. Literally.

Good Morning Cremona Family.

One simple way to manage restocking is to write the part detail and bin capacity for that part on an index card and stick the card towards the back/bottom of the bin, ideally with enough bags beneath/behind it so that you don't run out before you're able to restock. When you empty the bin to the point where you reach the card, remove the card and place it in the to do pile for restocking. When you have time to refill bags, grab a card and it already has what part is needed, the quantity for each bag and now many bags you need to make to refill the bin. Just remember to put the card back in the bin with the correct number of bags behind/beneath it. This eliminates the need to visually inspect and keep a mental note of what is needed. This makes it easier to manage help, too, since what needs to be done is all there in the pile of cards. I think it's called a kanban.

Call this video the Cremona Shuffle. "Hey everybody get out on the floor were gonna make you happy you can't expect more. Busy as bees working all the time, putting a & b together to make a new project even if there's no time. Overloaded is the way I seem to work, keep the wheels turning or I just can't perk. There is always more space if I run out of mine. I can store more there, when I have more time. I am on a journey to be able to see it all. To have everything in order a home for items A to Z. And when I am done with that. Well, get ready to go grab another tree."

Hi Matt, just a reminder to install the safety clips on those new racks. Those little clips are really a life saver when using the fork lifts to load and unload, but I'm sure that your aware of that. Anyway the shop is looking great and your progress will be very beneficial soon enough . Keep up the good work.

Jamaica 🇯🇲 here good day I am a grandma and took interest in you cutting those big trees on that saw and then splashed water on it to see markings ny pretending to understand all about that but it’s very interesting I don’t think we have those kinds of trees here in Jamaica maybe smaller ones but glad that you have your own place to store and work blessings to you and your family and stay safe and warm

Some of my favorite times in the shop are days devoted to cleaning, clearing and catch-up. The momentum just builds and builds once you start. I find myself energized afterwards and just want to sit there and stare at it for a while before the next project starts.

answer for shops like you. A main central trolley rail that can move loads from back to front door using a simple hanging platform like a lesser ski gondola even cable works if the dip is above floor over you 60 foot travel if supported in a few points

My 5 favorite words. “I just want nice things.” 👌

For those tubs under your packing table, just pick up a couple furniture dollies from Harbor Freight. You keep your floors clean enough that the little caster wheels will roll, plus they are cheap.

I love how he described the door lock as a hole plug hilarious 🤭

Matt, it always takes 90% of the time to finish the last 10% of the project. It's the small details that make it professional. Always enjoy your videos.

Just seeing your dream shop makes me happy.

It always feels good to catch up on projects, Matthew.

You have got to get goosebumps on your neck when you walk into that barn accomplishment! What a dream made into a reality! Helps to have good friends and workers that you can count on.

More Matt!

32:15 "I just have this little pallet here which is THILL in the way." 😂 You've been doing Wood Talk too long and are starting to sound like a fabulous jersey boy. Ha! Really enjoyed the video, thanks for posting.

The barn is really coming along Matt. You are doing a great job, safety wise also. Nice work.

“The cost is more (significant) but at this stage I just want nice things” I need to do a tapestry of this, frame it, and hang it up and stick it on the wall of the shop. I can point to it when the household accountant asks me if I really needed that new German pliers.

You should consider bolting some of those shelves together. That will make them much more stable.

Mat; really enjoy your videos. Your divese subjects and expertise and commentary in making videos keeps the entertaing and informative. Having had my share of ladder "accidents" consider a rolling stair ladder with a cage that can extend upward to reach items up high. Not only will the rolling be easier to relocate the ladder rather the carrying it, the cage provides additional safety. ( It also provides a wider base to stand on if more height is needed (grin)).

Coming along great man

really enjoyed this video on the getting your workspace and barn set up. Thanks for all the hard work to make videos for us. Amazing work!

Looking good Matt!

Thank you Matt always enjoy your videos

Matt: As always, jam packed with information. Thank you.

Impressive progress Move and new barn and renovations 😊

Looking forward to the flooring project!

It's a very quick way to make your new space yours. All of it. Well organised to just where you want things and know where things are at. Matt's Multi-use Pole Barn

You have to organize in a way that fits you. Even though I knit as a hobby instead of a living, I have my base supplies and then I have duplicates in a kit that I can take on the road. For my soap business I tried to track my inventory visually because how hard can it be, but after once again purchasing duplicate colorants and fragrance oils, I purchase a specialized program that tracks my inventory for me.

Productive days are so satisfying. ⭐🙂👍

Awesome stuff Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

LOVED this video! Nothing feels quite like checking things off a list.

You got a sled!! Great have fun!!

Your organization is impressive.

Good morning. I’m needing flooring and kitchen videos. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for sharing that, good luck organize the barn (big shop)

I am constantly amazed (and envious) of the incredible amount of energy you have just to man handle all that material by yourself. And that doesn't even include the energy you have to keep up your incredible workload.

Well this video had it all! Even the kitchen sink! :D I do wish I had even 1/3 of your energy Matt, I might need a nap after just watching all this work :D

Good lob Mr. Organization "Thing-a-ma-job " person!

Loved this insight into the day-to-day … BTW, get yourself a set of T-handle ball-head allen wrenches, its an immeasurable improvement when assembling/dis-assembling machinery etc, rather than fumbling with (even the best of) traditional allen wrenches.

A man of many talents! You and my late uncle Herb would have been blood brothers. You have me totally hooked, and the closest I come to being a wood worker is when I have to build simple benchwork for my scale model railroad modules. Thx as always.

Great video file organization, Premiere Pro is a never ending learning experience. Amazing how much you get accomplished. Thanks for the inspiration.

Wow, its clear you put a lot of thought into getting things set up, particularly since the barn is turning into a multi-function space. My garage is like that, but I usually just think myself into indecision and don't take the next step 😁 Seeing the in-laws car in the shop really gave me a proper reference to the size of that place. The barn is huge! Thanks for sharing.

Definitely one of those cases where that in-floor heating is coming in clutch. Little things like repairs or assembly can be brutal when it's freezing, but having even a few degrees warmer make all the difference between being miserable and pleasantly cool.

Incremental changes make a a huge difference. I try to do that at work all the time. Lots of progress, Matt!

Love it!!!!

Hey Matt I think the barn is one of the best things you have added to your property.

2/11/23; ..Happy Saturday! Much enjoyed your combined videos 2day! Always relaxing to watch someone else do all heavy lifting assembling new HD multi colored shelving & stacking, organizing for efficient utilization of their production/shipments etc. Also very impressed with your 🖥 computer organization of those 900 videos; especially your ability to visually show us the history of the 'bull?'/ bundle of slabs the day/the particular log was cut into slabs

I don't think it's normal to have such a good memory for the details when and how you got slabs of wood sitting in your storage.

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You have so many beautiful windows in your shop. Have you consider adding some kind of protective grills from things falling against the glass?

love the way you edited this vid with the sliding text-boxes 😉😉

I like you barn door opener! Very nice.

Awesome video I enjoyed it !

Matt- your level of organization makes MY head hurt!. I can understand the need to keep materials and processes readily accessible and free of extraneous/distracting elements and I'm in awe of your talent in that area. Man, is there anything you can't do??? It's telling that you know where every stick of lumber originated. Your integration of work and life are inspirational. Thanks for putting this stuff out. My head still hurts, but in a GOOD way!

Nice improvement

Your shop is coming along really nice, Matt. Very nice! It does take time to get things just as you like, and I'm the same as you when it comes to organization. I like how your computer system is organized for videos, etc,. So much nicer when things are being inventoried in the shop for easy access & accountability. Personally, I try to have my laptop well organized as well, bcuz it's easier to find things when they're done that way. Here's an idea; what about putting up something like sturdy paper towel hangers on the wall for rolls of tape so that you can have them within reach of your staging area, or... have a modified version on the sides of the tables itself.

Great job Matt, you're so lucky to afford a huge barn like that, Congrats!

I'm new to your channel. I hadn't realized the scope of your business. Well done, my friend. Well done👍.

Phenomenal worker

The lean to would be a great spot for the saw mill in the future when your electrical gets sorted out. As long as the posts are far enough apart and it's high enough to get the skid steer and telehandler in and out.

Hi Mat, I usually re- thread an M6 hole with a 1/4" tap and then use an American bolt/screw! Seems to work just fine.

Matthew getting organized! Before his next new year resolution!😁 More power to this chaotic disruption in your disorganization!🤔

Good day Matt. On your list of small things do you have any plans to add ceiling fans to your upper areas, encouraging warm air back down? Why not construct or just purchase a couple furniture dollies to place under your blue desk. Quick and easy solutions may be easier than upending the desk itself since it is already outfitted and operational. You have made terrific headway in reorganization of your space. Trusting that your kit sales are continuing to produce a steady income. Wishing you and your family a blessed week, gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace brother

On the next one of the QA's could you go over your equipment? Like your skid steer and tele handler. Things like where you bought them, maybe how much if you feel like mentioning the price paid, what to look for when buying equipment, how to transport (chains, trailer, what kind of towing capacity a truck would need (obviously you need a semi and a low boy for the tele hander. Do you contract that out to a trucking company if you needed it moved somewhere?) and probably the biggest one...what kind of maintenance is needed? I just want to say thanks for bringing us along and showing the inside of starting and running a business. This is what KZfaq should be.

I think its cool that all those slabbed up trees that all look the same to us has a personal story for you.

Any shelves used to store liquids (Chainsaw, Bar Oil etc) tend to swell the timber surface. I wrap those shelves in Coreflute, cheap and dureable. With angle blocks in barrel - get an easy reach gripper.

Cool! Let’s do some flooring! Shops getting there!

I like the "I know, I know, safety first quote." Someone call Minnesota OSHA!

Matt, Really looking good and I’m sure you are felling better as you go along. I’m glad you finally were able to get out of the heavy winter coats for that last segment! You say you "know someone with a welder”, that was funny! Kids in the barrels huh?, Now turn them on the sides and roll them around in the big spaces ORRR down the hill outside this spring. Shhh, don’t let Lindsay know I told you that. The boys maybe, Eloise, never..hahaha

Don't forget the safeties for shelving locks. Also, fasten the shelving to the wall. Use a non drying silicone grease for the gasket on the compressor.

with regards to you camera gear comments around 18 min. mark, make yourself and mobile DIT cart. equipped with battery chargers, place to hold camera and its accessories, along with sticks and anything else you might need. Super handy and mobile.

I love your sharing your experiences in the endeavor! One thing that may 'help' until you get your camera gear duplicated, is when I was doing my old house, they told use to make 'boxes for electrical, wall repair, plumbing, etc) and stock with the items that may be pretty cheap (hammer/ tape measure/ pencils), so you don't spend 2 hours of your day trying to find stuff. In your case, I would have a 'camera equipment box' that had those SD cards, batteries, etc.. , if you can afford a second, great, if not (like back in the day drills were expensive,) , you put on teh box 'also want drill'... you can have the same thing on your 'camera box'. Then the camera stuff is also ready for the sawmill/ shop or barn, or other activity. Just an idea.

buy a Gator/Mule with a dump box. you will like having it for going back and forth.

Great consistency between the tone of your location audio and your voiceover audio. I'm an audio engineer and I find it really jarring on some youtube channels where the tonality of the voice changes radically. Good work!

Bolt those shelving units to your wall studs and each other when free standing!

You really amaze me at the organization that you do, you think you rethink and then you implement, congratulations it's getting all together

Matt is definately organized chaos!

Now build a rolling ladder for access to the high shelves vs dragging the ladder around. Your videos are great!

Love this video, Matt! I'm going back to watch the 37 thin slice log, How did I miss that one? at 30 min or so, That huge stack of wood took 2 trucks to back it out of the shelf, hehe hUgz from Ohio, Lee

Suggestion, respectfully - paint height limit forklift link tele-handler yellow - easier to see when it eventually gets covered in grease etc. 👏 Crotch Castle is looking good BTW 👍

Hi Matthew, I have been watching for a long time now. I noticed in your names of files especially for the months you get a hodge podge of viewing your files. I would suggest to get each file in numerical order add the zero in front of the numbers 1 through 9 ( 01, 02...09) this will keep file 11 and above 100 from being between 1 and 2. Try and see if you like it better. I would also suggest putting a pallet under each of the top 2 or 3 shelves on your racks. This will help in safety from standing up in the air trying to move heavy and bulky items to just use the fork lift to pull them down and get what you need off or on and set them back up there. Joe

Believe me, I understand about your to-do list... I have a prioritized list, some items of which have been on there for 3-4 years already! Like you, I'm not lazy -- but each day, new items get added to the list, some of which are higher priority and bump the original item down. Eventually, over time, the older items start becoming higher priority all on their own (like the driveway cracks have gotten worse), so they creep back up to the top of the list! I will say, if I had a day of crossing items off my list like you just had in this video, I'd be VERY happy!!!

Need a feeder to 'pour' those corner braces in bulk into..like a big barrel, tipped on a slope to flow forward into a tray or half bucket, for easy picking (cut red bucket the long way). And the film roll dispenser: instead of it sitting on chopped brackets, can it hang, like paper towel roll on its side?

I wanted this question answered ages ago. This is great. Have you ever considered using a gurney to move things around on? We’ve got nine. I know, obsessive, but we put everything in the basement on them and don’t have to lift things to move them. Could be useful at some point for you. (We even have mortuary gurneys.) You’ve got amazing equipment that probably makes a gurney useless.

Almost time for automatic barn door opener installation video.

Well your Telehandler is like the first electric vehicle I drove in 2014 once it got below 30 degrees the distance I could drive was maybe 60 miles. Ive since updated my EV which is much better in the cold and the lowest its charged to so far this winter has been 170 miles.

Don't know if there are any Tractor Supply stores in Minnie, but you can buy mixed and matched bags of regular or grade 8 fasteners by the pound there. Grade 5 costs about $5 a pound and grade 8 costs about $7 IIRC.

Sounds a little "Ground Hog Day" only with sawing lol.

I think you need to anchor your pallet racking. Hopefully a garage door opener is in your future.

Matt, will the newer corner block buckets fit inside the tall blue one? This would raise the smaller tub to a more comfortable height and you wouldn't need to send a kid into the barrel to clean out the last ones. You could get a furniture dolly or a round garbage can dolly to make it mobile.

Hey Matt. I didn’t realize you had a MP260! That’s a great machine. Let me know if you need anything for it. I work for Wood-Mizer out of Indianapolis, and I would be happy to work with you. The shop is coming together nicely!

Put a slab of concrete behind the barn for the mill. It'll be hidden and near where you store your slabs and your saw. I would love to see how you process a slab into whatever. Why slabs have to be a certain thickness, so on and so forth.

BarnZILLA looks well organized.

You might consider a small scissor lift for the barn so you wouldn’t have to drag out a ladder or the forklift every time you need something off one of those tall shelves.

The blocks in a barrel need to be set so you can tilt towards front when they get close to empty so that the supply sides forward. A temporary block under the back of a barrel with a midpoint tilt point will allow you to tilt when needed.

thats it,,put those nails and screws in one place...at least its dry and warm there..man you filled that place quick..be careful in there by yourself...what a video...a good one..

Crazy idea for your corner block dispenser. Make a Pez dispenser for them

I see a loft or 2 in your future!
