    Shop tour: "phenominal"

    I was searching for shop tour videos to look at and stumbled upon these two of this man's shop. I don't suggest you watch them if you're inclined to be envious. Do watch if you are a Laguna fan!

    Nice but he needs a few more cordless drills.

    Definitely one very well thought out, designed, and laid out shop. ‘Musta’ set him back a few dollars and good of amount of time and effort.

    Very interesting idea about the two miter and chop saw arrangement --one pulls out and is above the other. Plus he said that DC was 95% +!

    Seems to be a very nice guy and he does not appear impressed with himself.

    This is definitely a very "high-end" shop. However, what I find of particular interest is how he uses the space. 700 or so sq ft is a lot, but he has a whole lot packed into it. His space usage and storage efficiency ideas are applicable to any one's shop.

    I have seen those before linked from the Laguna site. He really does have a lot packed into a small area and all of it seems thoughtfully designed.

    Yep, the part about only sleeping 5 hours a night rings true.
    Nice work,

    Ha! I saw that too and thought how many hammers do you really need? He seems to have enough of everything.

    I've seen this guy before. I must admit, he makes me laugh. I think his shop was featured in a Wood Magazine special publication a few years ago....
    Trying to follow the example of the master...

    Don't get me wrong, it's great shop.

    But my sound is out for some reason, so I watched it without sound.

    I saw a guy showing a triangular box (that I assume he made)

    and the shop he used to build it in (presumably)

    I can't stop giggling.
