How to Build Ultimate Shop Cabinets - Part 7!
Boom! We're done with the ultimate shop cabinet build. This ended up being a 5 MONTH process to get these over the finish line (due to travel, work, filming, etc) but man is it worth it! I still walk out into my shop and forget how nice it is. These cabinets turned out great and have a ridiculous amount of storage. I've only filled up about half of the drawers...so I guess that means I need to buy more tools! I hope you've enjoyed this build series and perhaps it even in

One step closer to shop cabinet greatness! In this video we prep the lower cabinets for the final installment including adding the face frame, painting the cabinet carcass, mounting in place, and installing the top work surface.

Ultimate Shop Table Build - Part 4
We finish the ultimate shop table! This has been a long journey but it feels good to finish. This table serves as a great addition to a small shop because it is so versatile. In summary this shop table has integrated dust collection, integrated wiring including automatic dust collection control, part storage racks, tool storage drawers, and external storage for project paper & clamps. The entire table is also mounted on some heavy duty castors so it can be moved if needed

Ultimate Shop Table Build - Part 3
In this video we finish the majority of the ultimate shop table build by installing drawers and part organization racks on BOTH sides of the table. This added storage comes in very handy in a small shop. Having the part organizer bins easily accessible in the center of the shop means less movement to get what I need. I really like how this table turned out and all thats left is to put on the finishing touches! Major Lessons Learned Take the time to plan for storage. Use w

Ultimate Shop Table Build - Part 2
In this video we round out the integrated dust collection within the work table by running electrical, connecting the ducting, and mounting the doors. This automated system works GREAT and I highly recommend the iVac switch used in the build. With this half of the table complete we just need to finish out the other half! Major Lessons Learned Electrical work is not rocket science but you should respect it and do your research. I am not an expert and you should consult a pr

How to Upgrade Your Shop Air Compressor
Your shop air compressor is often overlooked and ignored but we go through some very simple "upgrades" that will make your air compressor safer and easier to use. First we build a stand which raises the compressor off the ground, making draining the water from the air tank an easy task. Then we put together a simple drain reservoir to catch any water which features some 3D printed parts. Finally we mount a retractable hose reel to make air hose tangles a thing of the past!
