Please show all the builds!!!

Definitely gonna want an oil separator on your air compressor pex doesn't like petroleum

4x4 and vans. Like a pack of rhinos and elephants running together in the wild, that was epic 🥲

You might want your hardware on the main floor so you won’t be climbing up and down all the time.

Awesome tutorial video, thank you and God bless

I'm always geeked to see people build a shop out of places that other people have forgotten or passed on. got my shop because no one wanted to pay for a roof and did it myself. congrats on landing yourself a fixer upper. looks like you got a good deal for sure.

And finally, one shop storage suggestion - make some sort of drain rack for your funnels and oil pans that drains the oil into a bucket for disposal. Take an old stainless steel sink tub, rectangular drain pan, section of large gutter, etc. and weld some 6" long 3/8" steel round stock pieces sticking up out of the middle of it (maybe with a crossbar as a travel stop welded on to each spike as well) Mount it to the wall at an angle and drill a drain hole at the low end with a piece of pipe to direct the drainage to a bucket. Funnels, used oil filters, and drain pans can get stuck on the spikes to drain into the sink basin and everything goes into the bucket. You have a lift, so you probably have one of those roll around drain buckets, so this idea might not be as useful to you, but I thought I'd share it anyway. Hopefully my description makes sense.

A second comment if I may be so bold on the subject of fire safety (I know...no one likes safety nazis, but I've seen enough stuff go wrong in shops that I feel it wise to share suggestions): The grinder room is a great idea! I hope to do that myself one day. It is going to be full of sparks that are going to get into every nook and crevice. The ceiling needs to be drywalled in to prevent sparks from sitting up there in the nooks and crannies (along with the cottonwood fluff and other flammable debris that are bound to accumulate over time), and I'd want drywall or some other fire-rated material on the walls for piece of mind as well. The compressor room needs ventilation of some kind. We had a similar sized compressor at one of my jobs in a similar sized room, and the room would get HOT (like 120+ degrees in a 68 degree building) even though the building was air conditioned and the room had a passive vent to the interior. We ended up adding a ceiling fan to an external vent to keep the room cool. I don't think you'll be running your compressor at 100% duty cycle unless you get a sand blaster, but even so I'd hate to see you cook your compressor motor and all those flammable, pressurized paint cans. Add a thermostat-controlled fan and vent to the outside if you possibly can, or put your air chiller/drier OUTSIDE the compressor room to keep the bulk of the heat out of that insulated room. You might be OK as-is if you don't run the compressor too hard, but I could see it turning dangerous if you happen to leave the compressor on overnight and a hose blows (seen that happen more than once) One final suggestion - if you have a Costco card they have a good deal in fire extinguishers. I hung a few around my shop and I'd definitely recommend one in every room and level of yours just to be prepared for any unexpected events. Anyways, I'll stop pestering you on safety stuff. Love seeing the shop updates and very excited to see you get it wrapped up and back to posting videos more frequently :D I know it's old news at this point, but are you going to post footage from the Offroad Games? I was really hoping to see how the Sammy did.

The shop is coming together great! I personally will never trust a cheap lift - I've had the unpleasant experience of dropping a 3/4 ton long bed dual cab off a good quality lift that was just a little out of adjustment at my first job. My service manager was underneath it when one of the arms popped out and it started to fall, but thankfully he gave up on his initial attempt to "catch" the truck and got out of the way just in time. The lift didn't lift evenly side to side (off by a couple inches due to the chain stretching over the years) and I didn't have the truck balanced quite right, so when I set it down on the locks one of the arms slid off the frame as the truck rocked back to level. $10k damage to the truck but no one was hurt. In hindsight the company was negligent not to have our lifts maintained properly, and I was negligent to not get the truck positioned perfectly before lifting. All of which is to say - even good quality lifts are dangerous if not used right, and I wouldn't want to also be worried about proper metallurgy, design, and other potential quality control issues with something you are trusting with your life on a daily basis.

been using a 2021 ranger tremor as a daily commuter and weekend trail rider, going to turn into an overlander rig, looking for a kei truck to be my new city commuter, Subaru sambar looks like a good idea, appreciate the tips

Dream shop, super cool layout and organization. 40x50 is a perfect size too, nice work man 👍🏼

4x the amount of trashcans that you think you need. We waste so much time just walking to a trashcan.

Inherited a Kennedy toolbox from my dad and we’ve had it In the family for at least 15 years. it still works like new, really easy to open. Very lucky to have it as my primary tool storage.

Wow, the shop looks amazing. Very well. Done one thing for a future project when it’s a little bit more affordable I would definitely check into solar to cut down your electrical bills. There’s a company at Seattle called A&R Solar . I put a system on my house in 2019 and, I’m very happy with it. Nice thing is having a very lower power bill.

The 12v section gives me a mad stiffy.

You may want to put an upper and lower louver in what I think is the exterior wall in your "compressor room" to prevent heat build-up. Also... Just build a serpentine tupe radiator out of 1/2" copper pipe (10'-20' of pipe) and then a drip leg. That will cool the outgoing air from the compressor right there at the source and get rid of a bunch of the water. Then the final cooling through all that distribution network will condense out the rest as you have already seen at your existing drip legs. I'm VERY envious of your wonderful shop. Great job.

Life goals man, someday my shop will be organized like that 😂

What’s the dimensions on your shop

I work in a custom Jeep shop. I have worked in multiple…and your shop is better than all of them haha minus the fact that we have multiple lifts and an alignment rack. Beautiful work 👍🏼

The urge to sell my perfectly good home and buy an old leaky homestead is overwhelming. Cold, wet, and muddy…working on your OWN property….no better place to be!

One man, one tractor, one camera. Let’s go!

Beautiful, functional shop. You’ve given it a whole new life.

You are definitely making some great content that is very much inline with the way I think. I’m not sure how long you’ve been on UA-cam or have been working on vehicles but I hope you continue this trend of keeping things inexpensive, interesting and in the realm that any avg Joe can understand, follow and afford. I love building quality stuff but I don’t like spending a lot of money doing it. Plus I’m a bit of a caveman but the way you explain things makes me think I can build anything. ✌🏽🇺🇸🙏

Man that organization makes me all fuzzy inside. Well done!

Wow this is a game changer for me and garage time with my son. Thank you! ✌🏽

Really cool to see you get set up nate,,,long way from bleepin jeep days....if I could make 1 suggestion,,, you asked so here it is....but I know you've got a boatload of cash invested and I'm sure you want to be done with the shop project ...but rent a paint sprayer and paint the ceilings black ...and do your loft stairwell....and epoxy the floor ....it will take your spot to the next level

I appreciate the video. I wished you would’ve also included those Amazon “Baja Design” knockoffs in your test as well. I know nothing about lights other than they help me see better at night and be seen in the day/night, I’m curious as to why did you mount your Amber lights so close together? I recently purchased a Randy Ellis Designs bar for the front on my Ram 3500 that holds up to 4 Circular lights and was curious about where to mount my amber lights. In the two positions that are closer together or the outer positions. Anyways just thought I’d ask your opinion. Thanks for the video. I just became a new subscriber after watching that Napa Air Compressor DIY upgrade video or should I say videos! ✌🏽😜

A really tidy install, love the inclusion of the subwoofer and the gullwing windows are cool too.

Awesome and outstanding as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

The shop looks killer, you have me thinking about how to improve organization in my shop

Should reach out to bendpak for a lift. I wouldnt trust that lift on my worst enemies vehicle.

3:38 NGL that looks like a sketchy China lift!

You are missing an arc-droid. Thank me later. Especially when building brackets.

Subaru Sambar or Daihatsu Hijet are the two that I am currently looking for.

Great job on the shop, it looks great. It’s funny that when the Milwaukee tool boxes came out and all the UA-camrs got them for free they were the best thing ever, now Harbor Freight is giving their boxes away for promotions they are the best, I get it, not slamming you, let’s see where they are in five years.

This is an awesome video that give great advice. Can’t wait to see Nate start building rigs in this amazing shop.

Hi, if the steering is on the front of the axle, the steering knuckle axle distans should be smaller than steering knuckle pins distans (Ackermann steering geometry)

Love it! Do your self a favor and put up galvanized metal roofing on the ceiling and walls of the grinding room.

Thank you so much for doing this vid... I have a 40'x60' and it drives my wife crazy at all the chaos.... I will have to set aside a few weekends to organize the shop now...

Good day Nate. I understand the desire for a truss but why not sleeves? Wouldn't the truss interfere with "space" were the sleeves would not. What is the strength difference? The sleeves seem like a better way to go IMHO. Again im interested in the strength difference between the two setups. You can always use both.

It will all work out. I learned to ride horses in that barn. Glad to see you fixing up the place.

love it. great job.

I would build a fold up hoist lift deck assembly like an elevator for putting heavy things up on the lift. It could fold up to the wall for more room.

Get a 3 stage air dryer with desiccant with an auto spitter. I have several my woodworking shop at work I installed and you’ll forget about water in your air. You can also set up an additional air regulator with and water catcher with auto spitter and oiler for you air tool so you don’t have to worry about your tools going bad

Customer service sounded like she had an attitude

Rona/lowes bought craftsman and will warranty your OG sears craftsman tools

I agree 100%. I just traded in my 2018 for the same reason for my 2020 Gladiator rubicon. The new Toyota wasnt what i thought it was and I still love my 1995 toyota.

What happened to this serious?.I’ve been looking forward to it for years. Haha.

I use a large auto trans cooler and a separator between the pump and the tank and i get zero water in my lines.

Buy a extra psi switch for the air compressor. I have the same compressor and have to replace it about once a year.
