Turning a Condemned Building into a DREAM SHOP // Woodworking

My friends and I restored a collapsing building on my farm and turned it into my dream woodworking shop. Watch as we do demolition, install new windows and doors, reframe collapsing areas, pull wire, insulate, drywall, mud, tape, paint, hung lights, wired plugs and finally, set up a functional shop. Lots of dreams came true in the building and outfitting of this space, lots of new friends were made, and it was this project that was the catalyst to going full time working for myself!

Huge congratulations girl. I am so extremely proud of you for not only taking on the giant shop project head on but everything else you have accomplished in the past two months on top of that!....quitting your job, joining the guild as an instructor, learning the editing process and starting a channel. I'm so excited for you and I'm glad we're friend so I can watch your outstanding journey from the beginning.

I heard you having an experience with adversity (your contractor leaving-please know I do not minimize his help) and ultimately receiving a gift that tripled in size (the couple that came to help and the friendship you gained. Fellowship, it’s a beautiful thing. I have been dreaming of this very thing for me and my family (a dream shop). For a year now I have been collecting tools, been donated projects, even supplies have been gifted! Your video amplifies my drive, thank you! I am certain this is a start of something larger than you’ve dreamt. Sending all of you there love and light!!!

You should be very proud of yourself! Not only for starting the remodel but for taking it to completion. Now you can do shop refinement videos! I started from the opposite side of woodworking, mudding, framing, plumbing, sheathing (literally millions of fasteners) and I had to learn to make something beautiful and I'm still learning. One thing about a big construction project for yourself, you know who your true friend are after you've finished... ...and... ...you have to be one to have one. That's why most of us make things for people we love and charge nothing, we've already been paid!

Hey Anne, I remember being superman, and not sleeping. Guess you're superwoman..LOL! This recently popped up on my home page. You deserve good things happening because you show people it can be done. I was thankful for the help of my friends in building my shop and out buildings. I remember my wife cling up stairs while I was sitting and thinking about the next step. she said "wow you put soul into this place!" It keeps me in the present often . When I'm frustrated I step back and see what I've done and not what I've yet to do. I say in my little kid voice..."I did this!" You did this! All the best!

Hi Anne! I can certainly relate to all of the work that went into your shop. We purchased a property with a barn that was over 100 years old. We turned it into a haunted attraction. We had to and still have to rebuild it. Every door, window, room or anything we rebuilt was such a challenge because nothing was plumb or square. I have learned so much. I totally understand it when you said you found out how mentally and physically strong you are during this project. And how you can get by on very little sleep! That describes what I have been thru so perfectly. How awesome that your hero came to your shop!!! Oh yeah, I loved the mini bike donuts at the end! LOL

Now that I am retired I started my own youtube channel making things at our ranch. I am wishing you many successes. I found your channel via your 100 dollar blacksmith video. I have been a farrier for 27 years and on occasion do blacksmithing. Maybe someday it will be in the cards to do a collaboration. One of my very first real friends from youtube is Zach of all trades.

Anne You learned the way I did. On the job training. I didn’t know anything about framing or carpentry in general and joined a framing crew and started swinging a hammer. I’ll bet this build gave you a lot of confidence to tackle home projects and realize that any mistake can be fixed. Good luck with this new shop. I hope to see some interesting stuff come out of this shop in the future. And you have April in your corner so you’re Golden!
