This guy's channel is one of the most underrated welding KZfaq channels.

Thank you for your time and energy. This is exactly why I am here.

Love your tiny shop! I’m a retired toolmaker and have a metal/wood shop in my 3 car garage. Along with 3 custom motorcycles I’ve built it’s really cramped. I have a Bridgeport and 15 inch lathe. Those obviously stay in place other than that I’ve made bases with locking casters under everything else. Bandsaw, cut off saw, drill press,20 ton hydraulic press, mig and tig welders , table saw, a work bench with compound miter saw. 2 work benches with vise , welding plate, grinders etc. a throat less shear and 6x18 belt sander ,pedestal buffer and one grinder. Also I have 2 storage racks and a 36 x 72 metal cabinet. WOW talk about Tetris ! But works for me. I will admit your stuff looks so much cleaner and nicer lol. Great videos! Weld on !

You economize your space very well, something to which I aspire. Well done!

Tim, I didn’t realize you were in Utah until I watched this video and you showed the steel supplier shot. I’m in Draper and have enjoyed your videos. I’m new to welding and your videos have been really informative. Keep up the good work.

I love your belt sander really nice

I especially like the tips about how you keep things square.

When I was looking at your portable bandsaw thing, I was thinking get some wingnut bolts to bolt them down and then cut slots in the feet such that once you loosen them a little bit, you can just slide the thing out.

While I'm certainly NOT a good welder, I do manage to stick things together so they stay stuck. Welding is only one small part of what I do and my shop isn't huge so the welding area needs to be contained. That looks like such a great mini-shop area by my definitions. Sort of the idea I'm working towards.

If you put some shelves under the top would be a great place to store your drops

Very nicely done sir. I am building a stand for my new to me tool boxes.

Adjustable feet are a good idea. I have built enough wobbly things to learn that I need to use them!

Will soon open one, thanks for the video tims

I have less than a hand full of years myself to remember to put a ground clamp on😂 Or switch to oxy fuel welding since it doesnt need a ground clamp

Nice shop! I also have an Evolution saw. Best saw ever! Every Fab shop should have one.

That’s the perfect mini fab shop! I learned how to stick weld using your very informative videos, thanks Tim!!

tomorrow morning i start my mig course. if things work out, i'll start also a stick class in the evening. then i'll be rich!

Nice idea with the toggle clamps.

Using those toggle clamps on the band saw stand is GENIUS 🤣🤣🤣 Mind if I steal that idea? Like you, my workshop is in a single-car garage. So I put everything I can on castors. Great video, and thanks Tim for taking the extra time to shoot it and edit it 👏👏 Regards Robert Australia

I love that drill press. Can you do a video on thatv

Hello fellow Northern Utahn! Love the vids and even more seeing you’re up here - and seeing another steel supplier I hadn’t used besides Triple-S and Metalmart. Love the clamp idea - nice job on your channel!

That is really Kwel !! Gave me some brain storming idea!! Thank you for sharing!!

Nice job Tim.

I have a small space too,I would had to added a storage shelf did that to my drill press to store all the vises. Very nice build as usual

I found it particularly useful if the desktop tool has holes for attachment: Bicycle Saddle Quick Release Clip (or sometimes called; Aluminium Alloy Quick Release Bike Seat Post Clamp Skewer Bolt Seatpost) instead of toggle clamps. Relatively more secure.

Thank you for editing out the cutting and grinding noises.

I love your videos, Tim. You explain everything so well.

Good stuff

If you raised that bandsaw up enough that what was on the table cleared the beltsander then you'd have to remove it a whole lot less. If you moved it back some, so that the front clears what you want to beltsand then you'd have to remove it a whole lot less. The point being, if you want functional tool stands, make sure what you're working on, especially long things, clears the other things in your shop and especially on that stand. Bonus points if you line things up such that the table of one tool acts as a support for long things on another tool. Another option is to make your stands on wheels and then mount things such that each tool is on one edge, with everything clearing. Need the other tool? Just rotate the stand. You could have mounted all 4 of those tools on one stand, using a lot less space in the process.

Excellent video. I just started welding, and your channel has taught me a lot. I plan on taking your online course as well. Looking forward to the next video!

Love your videos. Just picking up tips and tricks everywhere!

Very nice! Maybe instead of the toggle clamps you could have made four hooks of flat bar, so you could push the feet in from the front. To stop them from moving forwards, you tap the front hooks and have a couple of bolts to screw down into the holes in the feet and maybe into the board as well.

Awesome video!!

Great video Tim and loving the workshop mods looking great 👍

Would love to hear about your milling machine. It's a great size!!

Tim - "I'm thinking, maybe when I'm fifty, I'll remember to put my work clamp on ." Sorry, Tim, but no. Hate to burst your bubble, but as someone who is over the hill, it's only going to get worse. 😆 Nice build!

Given your limited space I was thinking a rotating table top with the tools mounted to the wood on either side would be nice. Just a quick flip and you've got the other tool ready.

Nice job as usual

where did you get your hold down clams, the small L ones that held the square metal in place? BTW, great videro

"hey, welcome to the shap"

I looked back through your videos and didn’t see anything on the mill. What size is that? Seems about right for a home shop.

Nice

Bro that's a beautiful chop saw... 800 dollars beautiful 😢

awesome. looks great! maybe run a "Blue" theme? instead of black spray paint lol thanks for sharing.

You could mount your belt sander upside down under the table for storage

Add a vise and a bench grinder and you don't need much more.

i find if i tack top center it keeps it in perfect square

I think wing nuts would be an effective solution compared to the toggle clamps. As it doesn't make your table more user friendly.

How many times do we all have to forget that clamp!?!

When you get older than 50, Then you start forgetting where you set tools down that you used within the last minute and you haven't moved. Convenience takes over sensible things to do.

I hate that wasatch steel is the only public steel retailer in Northern Utah. At least the only one ive found

Fab tooling for the cheap/poor bastard; I´m looking into abrasiveless cutting for ferrous now, in my area an Evolution brand saw like yours there will cost me an arm and a ham. At Ebay I found several drycut circular blades seemingly made for rpm´s of wood working saws. Can such things be good for anything else but wasting away money, in your opinion ?

Hi I have a question about stick welding my welds are giving a glassy effect and a weak welds please tell me what I’m doing wrong thanks so much really appreciated 😊

How did you make that welding table?? Thanks

Wanted know what blade you use for cutting steel on the compound miter saw Thanks

I was with you until the toggles for the saw. Table is useless unless the toggles are also removable from the table top, may as well bolt it down.

💚❤️💚❤️

Where did you get that light over your weld table at?

Nope, I just turned 60 last week, and I still forget my ground clamp...

Where did you get the fixture table welding squares? Thanks!

💯

Hey Tim, if you had to estimate the total cost for your shop setup how much are we looking at here? PS Just starting welding school here in Canada May 8!

That’s not where all the chips end up. I started putting rare earth magnets all over that chop saw and they get fluffy pretty fast.

3:09 tell us more about those squares you used on the legs please

👍🏽

HI TIM, COULD I ASK WHAT BRAND THAT LITTLE MILL IS? THANKS

Okay so I'm NOT crazy to end up with a garage shop layout that puts the welding table right by the door to the house.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👌🏼😎

50? Looks like you have 15 years to work on your ground clamp skills.

You have some good tools there, and obviously you spend some time in your shop. I'm wondering though, Why no strong backs? ( diagonal bracing) ?
