The one-wall DIY workbench/makerspace that is loaded with features like a replaceable top, total adjustability, room underneath for a rolling tool chest, and more. I also added a row of metal pegboards that are simply better than any pegboard I've seen.

    After watching Blacktail Studio videos for months now, I'm convinced that his full-time job is actually replying to and liking comments. Woodworking is actually just his side gig. 😏

    As I'm getting older things like this are starting to look better and better to me, damn that's a nice workshop setup, functional and tidy!
  • Love the 80/20!! Used it at my last job and it’s sooo convenient! I also love how clean your shop looks with the galvanized steel.
  • @bengoosen7102
    Cam goeiedag, love the fact that you show different ideas and upgrades in your workshop. I think we might have a lot in common when it comes to keeping things plain and neat.
  • @jaydoe3707
    First video I think I've seen if yours... Love it and congratulations on going full time. Hope it's all still going well and I look forward to seeing more of your projects.
  • @rossfruge7254
    I just upgraded and went with the same miter saw and love it! Super smooth mechanics, its just wonderful. Also, love my Husky boxes too. Great stuff, love the videos!
  • @nikusallen4708
    Outstanding video as always! I'm currently working on a project at work that uses a massive 8020 frame. It looks amazing. My first thought when seeing it was that I should build my next work bench out of this stuff. Of course I finally look it up and you're the one that's done it best. Great job and congrats on following your passions full-time! That's the dream.
  • love the extrusion design. I've used it for years as it's so durable, and tweakable.
  • Go Beavs!! Appreciate all your videos and enjoy to see you making your dream shop a reality
  • Aloha! I just found your channel this week and I am loving the content. Your new garage and layout is a thing of beauty and definitely makes me envious! I like that your voice-over is more a highlight and less of a step-by-step but you openly accept any questions viewers might have. Keep up the great work and keep living your dream man!
  • @FallonFix
    Thanks so much for being a real role model for me. Your shop is incredible, your work is always amazing and your video structure really jives with my personality as well.
  • @TheRaven078
    Wow what an awesome idea! I will seriously consider this for my miter saw station build. Thank you!
  • @gabesmith6475
    Guten Tag, I like the industrial/modern look of the steel, makes things seem more professional.
  • Bonjour! I’m so jealous of this workshop 😭 great work and thanks for the videos so that I can do this when I retire in 35 years lol.
  • @kenjackson5938
    Thank you for posting this build, I am now going to also use the extrusion. I’ll let you know how it goes. Great video
  • @mikejohnson3755
    Fantastic video. Just starting the process of setting up my new shop. There are so many neat ideas here that I will use. Thanks!
  • I would love to see a shop organization video where you go into detail on how the shop is laid out with tool storage.
  • @johnmoorefilm
    You are a kind and generous man , thanks for helping and sharing your ideas. Good man
  • @phochmann8376
    it's time to slow down so that means time to reorganize the shop to be more productive. I've been racking my noggin how to create some space. You just provided most of my answers. Thank you.!
