If you'd like to see more of this on-going #shoptour video series, let me know in the comment below.
Cheers,

Everything must have a place, and there's only so much room to work with - I'm sure there are some interesting solutions you've had to come up with to fit everything in there.

No way is your home workshop this small. I still remember where we started 7 years ago with making a clock and honestly it always kinda seemed to me like you are some super rich person that went somewhere into a pretty nature place and work on videos like these as a passion project.

I saw a bunch of other people mention this, but thought I'd throw my suggestion in the ring too, since you asked. A tour of any/all filming and lighting setups, camera stands, or rotary fixtures, gadgets, reflectors, flags, any equipment that you use that helps you to get the beautiful results you do would be a real eye opener and a masterclass to to the rest of us. That gear (to me) is as much a part of your workshop and channel, as the tools and projects that we see through the camera and screen. Looking forward to the rest of this series! Thanks, Craig

Your builds are ALL tiny, beautiful, and carefully engineered, why WOULDN'T your workshop be?! I love this already.
