2024 Shop Tour - How to set up an inexpensive, efficient woodworking shop in a small space

The best thing about this channel that it didn't turn into a mega-shop with all the tools .most people can't afford.

Its been 3 yrs since I started my woodworking journey, ever since 50% of my you tube viewing is wood working stuff. I have seen 99% of the big names in wood working content creators and Steve is by far the best for newbies and amateurs. I love ur channel because it is not intimidating not expensive and relatable in every level. I live in Bangladesh and and have built/evolved my workshop and this shop tour 2024 was absolutely refreshing. For some reason I enjoy workshop projects more than actual home projects :)

Completely forgot about your microjig ads. Always appreciated how clever you were with your sponsorships

OMG that saw is 12 years old?! I started watching you before that surprise happened, and started paying closer attention after you posted about that bc I figured anyone who attracted that kind of support back then must know what they're doing. You definitely are. Thanks for such excellent content Steve! (and for getting me into horror films... found footage is my guilty pleasure 😜)

I started watching your channel about 5 or 6 years ago. Your were my first woodworking channel and my inspiration. Since then I have built a patio pond, patio sofa, garage cabinet, work bench that I love, beautiful cabinet for the house. Dog steps and most of all I designed and built my own kitchen Thanks so much for your videos

I love shop tour videos. I get lots of ideas from them. I've been watching Steve for many years and I always feel good when he shows his sink because it actually looks worse than mine! Thanks, Steve, for all you do!

I subscribed to this channel years ago but kinda fell away from woodworking. As I wander back into it, this channel is a bigger inspiration than ever. Thank you for keeping it real! And I'm gonna make an X. 😁

Thank you Steve. You were probably the first channel that I started watching when I started woodworking, and I appreciate you "keeping it real", as the kids say! I've probably watched all of your videos at least twice.

YES!! It's ALWAYS a good day when Steve posts a shop tour video!

I remember the Porter Cable table saw video, the nail in the wood thingy was the very first video a friend of mine showed in the group and after that I just started to watch your videos. Boy, that was a long time ago.

I'm currently improving my workshop, so its nice to get some revision from my first YouTube woodworking teacher!

You are looking a lot healthier and fit than you were several years ago as well. Great job!

Just before COVID, we moved and I went from a 3-car to a 2-car garage. Seeing your folding workstation solved my problem of what to do with a fairly large work table. Now that, and everything else fits along the perimeter of the space, and two cars still fit!

Hi Mr. Ramsey! When a see that video, I remember a lot of older projects. Great idea created that! Keep working, good job for WWMM! 🎉🎉🎉

i have a one car garage. i do have storage cabinets with counter space and a peg board across the walls. for table saws, chop saw, etc i keep these on a powertec stand and ridged rolling stand . great for upright storage . i don’t need a dust collector system because i only do wood working in good weather and roll the saws to the outside of the garage . it’s just a hobby for be and i enjoy making things from time to time . fireplace mantle, coat rack with shelves etc. this i enjoy .

I bought a 8x12 wooden shed a few years ago. I added a bench and a miter saw station on the other side. I built carts for my table saw, jointer, planer and band saw. I built a ramp for the 6'wide doors. I roll these outside so I have room to work. It's been a good little shop for me.

I watched this video right before Adam Savage's shop overhaul. Given the completely different workshop philosophies between the two of you, only 30 miles apart it would be amazing to see you each do a project in the other persons space.

Thanks for the content Steve. Ive been watching yours for a few years now and your still one of the few real ones not pushing tools

OMG! I don’t think I saw any 3/4” Baltic Birch plywood. How have you been taken seriously all these years? 😂 Love that you’re keeping it real.

Hi Steve. I'm very happy to hear from you. I remember the changes you made to your workshop over the years. A lot has changed and you have always been kind enough to recommend and teach people how to improve their own workshops. You are an incredible professional and human being! I also remember funny things over the years. A series of videos with terrible and funny background music, haha. I also remember when we viewers asked you when you were going to make a guitar for your son Wyatt and a sewing station for your wife. Not to mention the pieces for the chessboard you made. In this one, some friends of yours made the pieces on their wood lathes and got you off the hook. Haha, very funny. Anyway, I can say that the more than ten years that I have been following your channel and your projects, it has been a wonderful time in my life. You inspire people as well as entertain them. We all have a lot to thank you for your time and care sharing your knowledge of woodworking and life wisdom with us. I wish you and your family a new year with peace, health and great achievements. Big hug from your Brazilian friend. Marcelo.
