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. 😏
  • @omegadecisive
    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.
  • @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.
  • @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!
  • love the extrusion design. I've used it for years as it's so durable, and tweakable.
  • @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.
  • I would love to see a shop organization video where you go into detail on how the shop is laid out with tool storage.
  • Go Beavs!! Appreciate all your videos and enjoy to see you making your dream shop a reality

    Bore Da (Welsh) Greetings from UK. Just wanted to say thankyou for you videos. I suffer from anxiety and other issues and your videos really help me. I desire to be able to do woodwork but alas have very very poor dexterity. I am living my woodworking/tool life through you. I am learning loads of interesting stuff and because you mentioned it about 'helps' on your Iphone I now know why you use c clamps. Thanks again
  • @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.
  • @kansasjohn6979
    Ya'at'eeh! (hello in navajo) Looking forward to building my own shop and soon once our home is complete. Sweet set up and ideas.
  • 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!
  • Guten tag! I run a small woodworking business with my brother. We get lots of ideas from lots of different channels, but I have to say that you are our main mentor. I really appreciate the things you’ve taught us! We’ll have to give this miter station a try.
  • @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!
  • @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.
  • @TheRaven078
    Wow what an awesome idea! I will seriously consider this for my miter saw station build. Thank you!
  • @ryansidener328
    I've been a carpenter over 30 years ,I like your content! I'm gonna grab a deck of cards and throw in my bag of tricks. Thanks for the great shim idea. Best of luck!
