I have a central tool island with table saw and out feed table and to the right side, bandsaw, jointer and planer. Even in a larger shop it's a good idea to consolidate space where possible and since all these tools are often used together, having them all together is really efficient. Because of the varying heights and feed directions, none of the infeed outfeed areas interfere with each other, I've got an easy 8'+ feed for each tool, the planer gets the outfeed table to feed onto and you can drop electric in and dust in one spot, down the center of the dead area of the island. Additionally the dead space of each tool, right side of table saw, back of jointer, left side of bandsaw and planer, all fit up against each other. One other tip is to have at least one rolling cart. It's great for moving stacks of parts around a larger space and to use as a "table" virtually anywhere. For example I use a cart to wheel parts over to my planer. The parts then stack up on the outfeed table and then go back on the cart to for the next pass through.

Your finding the nails AND screws together in the shelf supports & cabinet reminds me of when my brother & I cleared out/opened up the inside of our 2-car garage to make it into a woodshop. There was a loft towards the back at one side (the removal of said space hog was kind of what prompted me to start that project) & a small corridor behind that running the width of the garage. As we removed stuff, we found 2 especially weird things. One was a random stair stringer fastened to the back wall up towards the roof. The other was the backing board that apparently went to a science fair project by the previous owner's daughter - making up part of the back corridor wall. My brother joked that, when the previous owner had the garage built, he just told the builders to use whatever was left over from the house. LOL The former owner also loved his nails. While we did have to leave part of the back corridor dividing wall up to house the circuit breaker box, everything else came out. My only regret now, as I try to attach things to the walls that have to go into studs, is that we used OSB instead of plywood or sheetrock. The good news is that the OSB is only on the back area walls. The side walls have sheetrock, so it's not as big a hassle to find studs. But the OSB really doesn't want to hold screwed-in items like hooks, & it is very difficult to find studs behind it. But whatever.... I did get a few chuckles, kind of at your expense, during this video, though, Brad. I always love your sense of humor. I look forward to seeing what you do with the space. Hope you have an awesome day!

You might want to bleach and treat the metal walls before putting up new walls. This will prevent mold and rust from building up over time. Also, a mold resistant paint on the inside will further protect it from the elements and time. Given how much mold was in the walls, you probably want to give the metal walls a good cleaning before proceeding. That will make it not a health risk down the line. Build looks great!

I also recommend using double duplex outlets (4) with each side of the box on a different circuit. That way you have two outlets right next to each other that are on different circuits and you could run two high draw items in the same area at the same time without any worries. Personally I went with external conduit. I ran it above counter height and down one side of the ceiling with a few branches to the other side. I had the conduit oversized in case I need additional wire later. It's a clean install, I don't mind looking at it and it's a lot easier to make changes.

For that door, ideas: 1) make it an underbase for a tabletop of some sort (metal on bottom, wood on top, screwed from the bottom. Gives extreme rigidity/durability 2) Get a cutting torch to cut out custom reinforcing brackets, triangles, etc. 3) Swap this out with some local fab shop in exchange for some service. They might want to use the door as is, as a door, or cut it up like in #2. 4) Get into welding and doghole the heck out of this as a base for your new DIY welding table. Take that, Fireball Tool! 5) Recycle it. Iron is cheap, but that's a lot of weight so you'll still get something like $10-20 for it. 6) Weld or bolt up sections to make weights to use as glue clamps. Way cheaper than buying dumbbells or kettlebells. 7) Turn into a horizontal entry door for your root cellar, since at your new place you will be growing all your own food. 8) Use the door as is as the key feature for your panic room to prepare for the zombie apocalypse, round #2 of covid, or when the in-laws come over. 9) Climate-proof yourself as you carve a tornado shelter into your shop floor. Just install that man slab onto some rollers over your panic cave and you're good to go.

List of things I would have if I had a shop that size. 1. Air everywhere, every tool station should have close access to dry high pressure air. 2. properly piped dust collection. 3. Proper miter station (But I don't need to tell you that). 4. 110 plugs everywhere and at least 4 220 receptacles. 5. a proper 5x10 CNC from Avid CNC with a tool changer. 6. Proper wood storage for at least 10 sheets of Baltic Birch and all the rest of the cut offs. 7. a proper office that is completely sealed off from the shop so I can have computers, 3D Printers and all my soldering stuff without getting sawdust on or in everything. 8. Large Roll up door for materials and rolling out bigger builds. 9. HVAC so I can work year round. ventilation system. 11. lots and lots of rolling storage. 12. Nice big work and assembly table on wheels that can double as a outfeed table. 13. Tons more but I have to get back to the shop 😉

I'm wondering if the previous owner is watching these videos. As for my shop organization opinions: I also have a sink in my shop and it's been WONDERFUL. Even things like cleaning glue off my hands without tracking sawdust into the house has been very useful. Definitely keep that! Sans the deer guts. I also ran electrical from two separate breakers to various points around the shop, which has been very handy. I assume you're planning to insulate; that looks like it would turn into an oven in the summer. I imagine you're already well aware of that. As for the door - do you do much welding? That might be a good top for a welding table. Or if you shoot, or have any buddies that shoot, they might make it into a target. I'm not sure how well that particular type of metal would work but I know some guys that love shooting at metal targets. Ooor you could just follow your wife's suggestion.

Seeing this shop project reminds me Jay Bates Garage Project. Along with the locations of equipment and his dust collection system, ergonomically, spaced and bundled tools reference electrical source and dust collection ducking. I would insulate the walls with Spray Foam and face off the footing with block or brick then use the upper portion of that cavity chase for electrical, plumbing, dust collection. Obviously LED Lights and some type of over head storage loft. Don’t forget the AC Unit. Good Luck I’m sure it will nothing less than impressive when your done. If you get a small tractor don’t forget the fork lift arms so you can move pallets of material around.

Elevator Door: I'm guesing versions of "making it into a table" have been said, but what i suggested is make 2 box frames for legs. In one box frame will be a counter weight (can be fake the table will be heavily enough) then from the weight under the door to the other side to the box frame leg are wire cables suspected on pullies. Normal Elevators have on average 7 cables but you can choose the count of back and forths. To double explain just in case, one side of the lefts is a weight suspected by multiple back and forths of a cord that runs the top length of the table under the elevator door top and looping on a set of pullies. Hope you like the idea.

I enjoyed that trip down memory lane with your old shops. That's awesome. My one suggestion for layout would be... i have a large 2 car garage. I ended up building a half wall out in between the doors. It helped me focus my flow. I was very all over before. It's a nice little area in a bigger shop. Plus you can hang stuff on the wall. More surface area! I turned it into my miter saw wall. It's working well for myself. I think you should cover the steel door in white board paneling and slide it around the outside and have either an idea board or green screen behind you anywhere in the shop! I'm excited to see the rest of the videos. Congrats. 👍

In my last shop, I had a few extra panel spaces to spare. I ran half my outlets along the wall at every other space on a separate breaker. Then color coded the outlet covers to easily tell which outlets are on which breaker. Outlets were spaced close together throughout the shop but every other one was on separate circuit.

Crazy shop rebuild suggestion: raised floors. I know, I know, sounds stupid/crazy, but you can tuck all the electrical underneath and have outlets right at the tools without any wires hanging down. Make it tall enough, and you can do your air handling ducts as well (I hate hate hate working over my head). AND, it gives you a thermal barrier off that concrete. AND! If you have a wood floor, it can be more forgiving to your knees and lower back than standing on concrete all the time. Plus, you can stash your empty beer cases in there.

Three ideas for you, Brad: 1) Add a well-ventilated paint/finish booth in the back of the space. 2) If that elevator door is two layers of quarter-inch steel, it would probably make a pretty good assembly or outfeed table. You've got a lot more space in the new shop, you might want to add another big table to your inventory of shop furniture. 3) That Jimmy Buffet CD deserves to be mounted in a beautiful custom hardwood frame and hung respectfully in the new workshop as both a piece of art and a memorial to a great musician.

Save that elevator door and use it to connect your side storage area to the main shop. Would be great to easily move bulk goods in and out.

Great video.glad you survived the insulation. That deer cameo was freaky. Awesome! Best to listen to the Executive management for the elevator door, but might work as a table top of some sort.

These shop layout ideas make this the most interesting vid ever on your site. "You should think bigger with the design of your shop" and the very first thing you need is a huge sliding table saw in the middle of the room. "You need a sponsor" with Altendorf USA or another brand that produces a 7.5 hp, full sliding table saw with a 14 in. blade plus scoring blade. You would like the tools with control tech computers on you fences but they are fine without as well. The sliding saw can come with dust collection bags that sit by the saw. Your existing saw will become an extra tool on the floor that you will use for other cutting for sure. If you don't have a nice saw in a year or so you will totally regret not moving forward on this !! You have room for a tool like this. You will need a few assembly benches. A small spray booth would be nice, with double doors that you can roll larger items in and out -- you will need a good fan hood to pull air out of this room. You should start a new thread to deal with your shop design. Best of luck.

For dust extraction, Frank Howarth has a trunk line in the floor to his stay-put machines. Would love that if I were starting in a new property.

I don't blame you for suiting up! I can look at insulation and itch

3:32... reminds me of the previous owner of my home who built "shelves" in my basement all the way around the walls. Scrap wood with just about every fastener and head type you can come up with. Unsealed/unpainted particle board shelving to boot. It was good, well, for nothing. Could barely hold its own weight. Save the tub... makes for a good paint wash/cleanup station! Although a bit large, the old shop would make a nice paint booth.... with that door too.

be super cool to put a french cleat system on the elevator door to hold all the less commonly used shop items and have it tuck behind a cabinet or just to simply use as a door on a tool cabinet

Use that door to make a steel bench top. Welding, beating, whatever.

Congrats on your new shop. My wish list would include a floating plywood floor where I could run the dust collection pipes underneath but still be able to unscrew and remove a panel of the floor if needed to unclog or rearrange. Also, I would build a sound proof booth for the air compressor.

I felt that “surprises” comment… we bought a house 2 months ago the ago.. I been working g on things here and there I started on the bathroom and wanted to talk out the old caulk around the tub/shower and replace it with new silicone.. well then I noticed drywall crumbling down into the tub from behind the surround so I pulled down the surround found a bunch of mold continuing on busted up the old tub and there was standing water under it.. 🤦🏽♀️ needless to say I now have had to start rebuilding all of my bathroom.. that was supposed to be a project for next year.

It would be an awesome top to a new workbench that you build for this shop! You have the space for an extra table. And you can make a whole series of videos about how you build a workbench with an awesome top! Conversation starter for sure!😊

A loft that runs around the top of the shop that you can store bins. And you can add some led pot lights on the bottom so you only have to light up the areas you are working in

Use the old sliding door and track as a backer for a sliding storage wall / tool wall.

The elevator door would make a great flat top for an assembly bench.
