Bruce's Woodshop Tour (or how to put 10 pounds of stuff in a 5 pound bag)

[50guitar]

No way you do any work in there.  It's waaaaayyyyyy toooo clean. I love it though.

[loganpondbridge]

@50guitar

Thanks. It doesn't always look like that, its a mess right now...

[loganpondbridge]

Thanks! It’s mostly an accumulation of years of collecting.

I checked out your video, your tool mounts are slick!

[gra120457]

Nice shop, wish I could afford some of the gear you have. Check out my video on 'The Workshop Makeover' (by GRA120457), all tool mounts are hand made and its a little over the top...

[sjniles]

Great looking shop, your tour gave me a few ideas for my new shop, thanks for sharing. One tip, you might want to shut the music off when you are filming, it was a a bit hard at times to follow you.

[loganpondbridge]

@sjniles Thanks. Someone else commented about the music. Music is always playing in my shop so I didn’t even think about it when I made the video.

Super nice shop, just awesome. Little small, but very organized and clean, which is key no matter how big the shop.

I love the plunge base Bosch Colt as well. Really nice work there. Makes me wish I had one.

I too have a woodshop/machine shop, but my tools aren't quite up to par with yours. I've just got a Grizzly mini-mill and their smaller gunsmith lathe, but they do work really well. As well I still run an old C-Man tablesaw, wish I had that Delta!

Just an awesome shop, wish it were mine!

[loganpondbridge]

@kenny474

Thanks for your kind words. I would love to have a larger shop but this one’s paid for. :o) I find that as long as I plan my work and have patience moving things as needed, that it works out ok. The Woodmaster is what pushed things over the edge space wise – that thing is a monster! The Grizzly Mill/Drill is like my shop, you can do a lot of stuff with it, you just need patience.

How is the cabinet going to fit an elephant in it no less a collection. Stamps and spoons ok but elephants are big you must go through a lot of straw. Nice setup.

[loganpondbridge]

@theoriginalpunisher

Thanks, they’re pigmy elephants so they don’t take up much room...

[RideSaintJohn]

collection of elephants.....seriously - 4/4 oak, ya must love her

[loganpondbridge]

@RideSaintJohn

Love her. Not too crazy about the elephants.

[RideSaintJohn]

collection of elephants.....

[rotoclip]

i notice at 3:20 pictures of drilling rigs ,did you work in oil fields?

[loganpondbridge]

The center picture is actually a Polaris missile sitting on the pad in Kodiak, Alaska. The left & right pictures are of the December 14th 2004 launch.

[rotoclip]

@loganpondbridge that's still cool

[loganpondbridge]

@rotoclip Thanks

[loganpondbridge]

Yeah, I knew that the first time I played the video back. Oh well, probably too many Sierra Nevada’s..

[kw757]

"Lagoon 14x40 Engine Lathe" LOL! Actually, it's a Logan (pronounced LOH-gan, not La-GOON). Not sure if that's just a funny accent, or if you just missed the spelling. Funny! Nice little shop.

[loganpondbridge]

Just clean....

[Garciamrcool]

wow, what a nice set up, bte what is the music playing in the background?

[loganpondbridge]

Thanks. That’s Grace Potter in the background. There are lots of YouTube vids of her performing, some good and some not. Check her out.

[Z3Carpentry]

Awsome..Nice set up

[loganpondbridge]

Thanks!

[merlin0152]

Very, very nice shop. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you have a small fortune tucked away in your man-cave. Kudos to your wife too for not flipping out about it. I guess she does get a nice oak cabinet out of it.

[loganpondbridge]

Thanks Merlin, Ive been accumulating stuff for a long time.

[bouldercreekfc]

Your shop is awesome.Looks like your a cleaning finatic. But really awesome

[loganpondbridge]

@bouldercreekfc Thanks!

I've been called worse.

[rv8orGuy]

Great Shop, Great Video Bruce! That's a lonely looking Sierra Nevada on the bench. Hope to hoist one of those with you some day!

[ridzis]

you havo a lot of tools but no space for things what you build,make-furniture

[loganpondbridge]

Most everything is on wheels so I can move things around if I have to. But yes, I wish I had more room.

[micktimo]

I just moved my metal shop and it's a horrible mess....and seeing your just makes me wanna cry!!!! LOL I miss my clean and vacuumed shop.

[loganpondbridge]

Are you setting up a new shop? It takes time to get thing the way you like them. Mines still a work in progress.

[AmericanMale1953]

Love it man!

[woodman928]

Man thats a nice shop but its just to clean LOL. Would love to have a mill looks like it would be fun to play with.

Jay

[loganpondbridge]

Thanks Jay. It's not always like that, in fact, it's a mess right now!

The mill is a lot of fun

[jstrunck]

Nice Shop Setup!

Take Care,

John

[loganpondbridge]

Thanks for the comment John. I keep trying to talk the wife into letting me knock a wall down that separates a spare bedroom from the shop so Id have more room but so far no dice

[jstrunck]

Let her know every fellow needs sufficent space for his mancave! I would just let it rip.

John

[kuladeeluxe]

Great shop. You sure made the most of that space.
