Very good stuff John. Educational, and I like your demeanor.
Hey John, my new machines cast iron tables are rusting the last couple of weeks. You mentioned a product in this video that helped the rusting. What was that? Still organising my shop since the last lockdown!! Maybe Iβll get there this lock down!! Well done John on a great channel.
Hi John. Just found your channel. Subscribed. Great to see an Irish man with a YouTube channel. I built a Roubo Workbench 6 years ago. If you build 1 of those check out bench crafted. Dont cheap out on the roubo hardware like I did, if I had my time again I’d buy the expensive hardware. Workholding on the Roubo is excellent.
Hi John, I always enjoy your wood projects! I have an suggestion for you: why not to connect your dust extraction system into your sanding table. It would be very nice! Maybe by creating like a big box with the table top. Sorry for my writing. Best Regards from Brazil!
Workshop goals!
Hi John, new to woodworking, just bought a mitre saw and will be attempting your mitre saw bench.
Hi John, so glad I found your channel, hobbyist WW here too in the northern plains USA. Really like what I see, genuine and down to earth guy, keep up the good work–like and subscribed!
Enjoyed that … great to get new ideas
Excellent video John. I really enjoyed watching that. My workshop is the same size as yours but no where near as well organised. I’m going to have to pinch some of your ideas, hope that’s ok. Cheers Rich
Nicely put together workshop there, I too am a record power and workshop heaven fan!
Hey mate, why a jointer before a table saw? Just curious because I just opted for a table saw over a Jet jointer/planer. Maybe I should get both?!
That’s some man-cave! ππ
Wish I had a shed even half that size John. Keep up the good work.
On the channel, I want to share how I create various things from wood,metal, construction experience and many other things made with my own hands.
I have no special education, no production experience,there is only a desire and desire to improve skills.

Not sure if you can get sassafras but itβs a pretty inexpensive hardwood here in the USA. I am making my first trestle table with it. I wonder if it would make a good workbench.
Came for the content.. Stayed for the accent!.. Keep it up and big cheers from π°πΌ Kuwait ππΌ β€οΈ
Can’t wait for the PVC grounding issue tho..
John, new subscriber here. Discovered your channel when I searched "grounding a dust collection system" and you know what came up. Thanks for that. Going to be a big help as I design my shop to build later this year (roughly equivalent to yours in size). I’m curious to learn more about the Men’s Sheds program you mentioned. Wondering if that’s similar to something we have in the States called the Mankind Project. Anyway, yes to a better year than last, the one in which my wife and I had to cancel our month long visit to Ireland. Maybe when we reschedule, we can book an in-person shop tour. PS-also subscribed to your whiskey channel. SlaintΓ©!
Wow what a great shop.
Nice shop John! I’m also electrician and a hobbyist woodworker, I to have never understood the popularity of people grounding their pvc dust collector pipes. Once I get my dust collection fully installed I planned on making a video on it too! keep at it man, i’m going to go check out some more of your videos!π
Great shop John, how do you heat it?
Great intro video, Iβll be back
In my two car garage shop rust can be a problem, Florida can be very humid and all cast iron machine tops I use strike hold CDLP works pretty good.
New viewer. New subscriber. Exactly the right level for me as a very novice woodworker seeking info and insights. Cheers.
Great tour! Your skill and creativity are impressive; your humility and pragmatic approach are refreshing. Thank you from a new and enthusiastic subscriber.
Thanks for sharing your shop tour video great job
Hello John, great video, 1st time viewer. I’m an Electrician and hobbyist woodworker, just in the process of setting up my workshop.
From the UK now living Florida so I battle humidity too!
Looking forward to going through your videos.
What part of ireland are you from, my family is from County Dublin
Hi noticed you have not got a table saw, do you not think itβs an important part to a workshop?
Hello Pro handyman friend,
very nice workshop well equipped with machine and other, well thought out, one thing that is missing is the view of the outside "windows on the garden side" I like to see the four seasons parades, in the morning at 06:00 I savor my mug of coffee sitting at my closed desk in the workshop and I watch the birds in the "cherry" fruit tree a treat for me in the morning and the light that illuminates the workshop is wonderful for me moments that I share with my Children, then the resumption of the project in court, I write the best chapters of the book of the life with my Children, but with each these means for the workshop of the dreams.
Good continuation to you ….. Sincerely Alain from Belgium
Mind blown! A sparkie who’s tidy and too tight for Festool π€£π
As a new guy into woodworking in ireland would you have any ideas about where to get good timber thanks
On your miniature work bench, how tall should it be on my bench if I am 6 feet tall?
well done Helped me – I’m setting up a hobby new workshop
Regarding a new band saw. Matthias Wandel has built three bandsaws of wood, including the wheels. He has a series of videos on building his 14" bandsaw, and recently built a 26" bandsaw and has videos on making the wheels and the parts that are different from the 14" version. Check them out.

Great video. I just came across your video and can’t wait to watch more. Happy 2021
Happy New Year – good tour.ππ A good start for 2021.
Good man John, great tour and a few good ideas for my own wee shed up in Belfast. Cheers lad.
Very interesting tour of your shop, thank you for this. Just one item which you may think will help – a lockable metal cabinet to keep your finishes, waxes and alcohol cleaners in.
Hello, I’m a first time viewer and I am pleasently surprised. I normally do not watch those that have everything because it takes the fun and skill out of woodwork. But I will admit I really enjoyed watching your workshop tour. You have some amazing ideas especially with your clamps. And it was ice that you are giving free plans for the small bench. I have subscribed and I am going to start watching your vids. I am lucky in the fact I have half a si glen car garage to work in. And I do have a few bits of power tools. I also agree that people should get the planer thicknesser as their first tool.
Fantastic workshop tour John.
I really like the hand made kick vice.
Very nice work !.
LOL, 4×2. Mad lad.
Great looking shop! I’ve only got a large shed which I can just about fit a Table in with the few tools I have!
I watched your other video on the DX4000 and was wondering if you could answer a question?
Do you run the Record power with just one motor or both motors? I’ve been looking at the DX1000 due to costs for my small shop, Currently just a Mitre saw, orbital sander and a few other hand held power tools. Although I will be getting a Table saw soon also!
If you run it with just the one motor I am guessing the power will be the same as the DX1000? Just wondering if it would have sufficient power to do the basics of what I need!
LMAO I’m a retired electrician wood and atv hobbies/youtuber lol. Nice shop looking forward to seeing more
You donβt have a big fancy table Saul
Is that a Bosch professional track saw?
from a fellow irish spark/contractor with sawdust in the blood like yourself , Nice shop . look forward to going through your vids as I am finally setting mine back up after having to get rid of it after the celtic crash and life changes .
Thankful to have landed on your on your channel and this video! That’s a lustful shop (lustful π ) ! That was very well done! Well written (organizationally speaking – the script (for lack of another term) and its delivery), well video’d (organizationally speaking) and very well detailed! I especially like your innovative ideas (specifically speaking π ) ! The mini-bench is awesome! That Moxon and Leg design is amazing! Very well done and executed! It hurts my back watching you adjust the pin under the bench but standing up at your mini-bench made my back feel better! π But, the design is very creative and innovative! Thanks for a great video! Any chance you’ll learn English in the coming year? π€£ π LOL!!! Totally just kidding. I know what a bod and a bit is. All the very best to ya! #KeepTheChipsFlying!
Great video! Just given you a follow on instagram too π
Did You make it with Stodoys?
Great shop, the only thing I did miss was a table saw π
I just subscribed to the channel, I am looking forward to the new projects π
