Small woodshops can be frustrating but is it the lack of space that's the issue......or how we visualize and use it?

Crazy. You’ve just described the last year+ of my woodworking and shop journey. I’ve delayed so much waiting to get the “right tools”. Tool envy totally overshadowed skill envy. Hate to admit it, but I just realized that I’ve been collecting tools more than honing my skills. Thanks for setting me straight!!!!!! I watch thousands of hours of KZfaq woodworking videos. Time to stop collecting! And time to start building. Thanks!!!!!!

When you said you’d have a picture of where you started out, I thought you were making a clever joke that you had always worked in this area. Love the videos. Im 29, finally got things going well in my career and I have time to pursue woodworking on the side. I have a one car garage that I work out of in my apartment and finding gems like this really help take the frustration out of managing a small workspace. 👍🏽

I´ll have to be redundant and say "Thank you, I needed to hear that". We definitely learn by doing, not only by planning. I´ve been constantly reorganizing my small shop until I learned the right position for every little item. Magnetic bars have been a blessing in this regard for me.

I have a small workspace. I've watched a few different videos on this topic but they were generally focused on specific designs, "this is how I laid out MY space". This is the first one I personally have seen that was about principles of laying out a small workspace that I can use to help me lay out My workspace. I appreciate it. I've already got some specific ideas that should help remove poor layouts that have been sources of frustration for years.

Really good points. I remember one KZfaq poster saying that he had a go fund me page, to raise money for a Sawstop. He stated that no one would take him seriously as a woodworker if he did not have one. I explained to him (with all due respect) that this was just not true. I referred him to 3 x 3 custom and explained that she used a DeWalt jobsite saw (at the time) and produced some really beautiful projects. In about a year I will be getting my Sawstop, but not because I have tool envy, but because I live alone, and if some accident should happen I would be in a world of hurt. For now, my DeWalt fits my needs just fine. Great video.

Helpful to prioritize tool placement, the less steps the better. The video motivated me to inventory the shop to understand work flow. The excel spreadsheet shows location, shelf, tools, materials. Keep a running list to have a "home" for components.

I am new to woodworking at 62 years. I wanted to set up a great workshop but didn’t know what I needed and where to place it. Areas 1,2,3 yes! Workflow, production, maximization.“Take what you have, get in there and work! What a relief to hear this because I did not know where I needed to start. I was just going to buy and buy more. 💰😭 then you said, Don’t confuse skill envy” with “tool envy”. This video gave me permission to pause and take a long breath and enjoy the process of growing “Even big shops want more” and “ put as many things on wheels as you can.”. All smart stuff ! Thank you for the video!

what's up ya big bear?! good stuff on this one. I don't remember if you touched on importance of designing within all dimensions. you can lay out a shop plan on paper but don't forget about all of the room on the Z-axis as well. if you can't go out... maybe you can go up! also, you can try to gaining much more square footage by claiming your neighbors garage thru Maker's Manifest Destiny. worth a shot.

You can make a lot of cool stuff with a circular saw while working on sawhorses - plus basic hand tools. Been there, done that - and it’s very valuable experience. Put that in a permanent space and you have a shop.

Hey dude. Thank you for this video. The sense I got throughout was, I trust this guy, and am going with his advice. You checked all the boxes of trust worthiness, for me. Your mentioning “tool envy” dovetails with my definition of procrastination - fear of not being perfect. Anyhow, I’m throwing caution to the wind, and pull the lever $ to buy a few more power tools, and wing it. 🎉

Now, thanks to you, I'm going to throw it all away, go buy some wood, and make something. Most likely a box. Using tools I already have. Damn it. Seriously, love the channel.

I needed this video. I’ve been a DIYer for some time now and am finally in the process to rebuild my shed and double the size to give me a dedicated space(16x12) instead of doing projects in the garage. Seeing your size be only 8sq ft bigger then what I indeed to build helps me realize my space will be big enough and I’ll have to design the space to maximize it and the work flow.

Thank you for this video. Lots of good advice was provided and some most of us need to hear. Getting out into the shop and building something - anything - is great advice. You mentioned you made three layouts before you ever built your first project and I can relate. The mental paralysis of thinking you need everything perfect before you start can be huge. I've found myself doing this very thing so I appreciate your advice. I subscribed and will check in again but only after I spend some time in the shop building something - anything!

I started building around 10 years of age, no shop just tools and a driveway. Now 68 I've arranged many a small shop, one thing for sure is your setup works till you get another tool. Best advice, keep large tools on wheels and if possible mount them on a large cart with space underneath for smaller power tools and use a tool chest for small seldom used hand tools. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

I must say, I have 2 pat myself on the back b/c I set up my shop with everything on wheels or hanging on the wall if at all possible. That I got right. My "workbench" is a hollow door on saw horses. I'm perfectly happy with that. Mind u, my projects r small. But I can take it down and put it outside on a nice day. I'm a small 67 yr old woman so I didn't really want 2 b dragging my miter saw around. :) Even my table saw is on wheels. Mobility and convenience is definitely the key. Enjoying your channel.

Working in a small shop as well. I’m guilty of paralysis by analysis often in the shop bouncing future to do list🥴. Funny sometimes I find myself originally intending to start a new project or proof of concept but then get sidetracked trying to fix or improve on another setup that I feel is ruining my workflow ironically 😂. By the time I know it the days over and not much progress overall 🥴. Figured this is probably pretty common roadblock for people starting out in woodworking. So getting passed these hiccups and actually completing a project or improvement in my shop always keeps me coming back 😁

This is good stuff. I've found myself in a similar situation: finding a balance between what you think you want and what you actually need. I'd love a big, beautiful bench and a spacious assembly table and one of those fancy router stations and an industrial jointer/planer, but I just don't have the space. Gotta economize my space. Everything has to serve dual purposes. I find it more intriguing, actually, to come up with ideas to do that. Keeps things interesting and inventive. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'm enjoying your channel. You're a relatable guy and easy to like.

Damn good advice! Especially not confusing skill envy with tool envy. Another lesson that I learned later than I would have liked is that what you are making is less important than that you are making.

Truth. The more I make, even badly, the better I get and the more fun I have and the bigger my shop feels when I'm finishing projects. A shop feels small when nothing comes out of it.

Perfect timing on this. I'm currently in the process of finishing a workspace in the basement to turn into my shop. I had plans today to start deciding where to build cabinets and place shelving and racks etc. I think now I'll be waiting until I'm actually *in* the space with my tools so that I know where best to place "furniture" and streamline my layout. Great advice and keep up the excellent work on good videos!

Great advice. I really need to get my space sorted. It really is a nightmare and every now and then have to move everything because a storm is coming and wife wants her car back in the garage...lol Love your videos. Thank you.

Thanks Jesse. Just like you, I have a small shop in my basement/crawlspace. I had to dig out some dirt to level it and put down a floor. I am always interested to see how space-challenged woodworkers do the hobby. I am now subscribed.

You said it is about workflow, not design flow. You need to build something to know if the layout is functional. Great instructional video. Thanks for taking the time.❤
