A walk through Jacques's workshop

[FlexNutz1]

yeah, if you need 18 of everything

[malcookie]

Does he just collect tools or use them? Not much dust around for w wood machine shop even with extractor fans.

[1alan1977]

is this heaven 

[gratmcgat]

I just turned 21 and id rather be in this shop than any bar

[beefyyamaha]

Wow.... Thats a big investment to not be able to really use all those tools to their full potential!!!

[chafalote]

Fuck Home Depot & Lowes

[badopinion]

Judging by the cabinets OVER his table saw I'd say he works on smaller pieces. Kinda limited use of all those tools. Impressive non the less.

[micktarjick]

This is not a workshop...this THRE MASTER OF WORKSHOP...I never dream like this...

Great man...Congratulation!!!.....LU­XURY workshop....

[imgwannakickbooty]

I knew I recognized this shop. Around 4,5, or 6 years ago the owner was WOOD magazines "Ultimate Workshop" winner if I'm not mistaken. Of course the prize was .......more tools! That is a tremendous shop. I can't imagine the hours spent putting it all together.

[TheWhitetailrancher]

took a lot of years and a lot of passion to end up with such an awesome shop! impressive! Best of luck to ya!

[vkmssihi]

is he working alone in this huge workshop? or he has many woodworking carpenter to help him in his work

[balansoare]

too much...

[dh5830]

Looks more like a tool shop than a work shop. Where is there room to actually make stuff???

[Probablyshouldnthave]

man thats incredible. I guess he is never moving!!!

[FloppyHatPhotos]

Wow a guy could get lost in there.

What is the wheel thing with all the jars on it?

[printlok]

in the begining he has like 5 electric screw drivers

[777strongcoffee]

If that's the "basement" - what's the rest of the house look like ??

[Thenumber1tool]

that man has a lot of money invested in that amazing shop !!!

[legoboy7825]

@Thenumber1tool Yeah, Im his grandson, I`ve actually walked through it!

[Matthiaswandel]

he he, and he told me he's added some tools since then!

[cuejbs]

Only thing he's missing is a place to put his work. He has enough room left after tools to make walking canes or roulette wheels.

[Thenumber1tool]

@Matthiaswandel i don't understand how he could!! there is no room!!

[ironwoodestudios]

WOW!

[SALESPRODUCTIONS]

What tool DOESN'T he have in that shop ?

[tconrad1510]

While Jacques is clearly suffering from an obsessive - compulsive disorder with respect to collecting woodworking equipment, I would love to have a shop like his! Incredible!

[NJEsperantist]

I think we found Norm Abram's God.

[PaddyTheYankBastard]

Now Home Brew??

[gck86]

nice workshop

[bodean2000]

Looks more like a collector instead of a functional workplace... I agree if he dont have a tool then they probable dont make one, question is where would you start to find that tool? I got claustrophobic just watching this tour.

[mohunter68]

Holy Smokes! I am so envious, what a workshop!

I can only dream of having such a collection as that, completely amazing to say the least. Bravo Jacque, you are The Man!

[danste01]

to much stuff. no place to move

[str8chevys]

Where do you start !! ?

[robsgaragewoodworkin]

If you can't find the tool you need in there, it hasn't been invented yet!

[SamuraiWilko]

I saw one of this on Mars :)this guy lives the NASA complex, or what? Amazing!!... can barely see the floor. its more complete then a supermarket.

[iiinsaiii]

Just one word. Beautiful!

[cabritex]

please give me all that you dont use anymore...lol

[dlapp14]

3:27 look at how many drills he has!! lol

[S0Airsoft]

i thought it was a store until i read basement

[BTSchnauzers]

OMG...it must be an illness for sure! Wow ...green with envy! Who would ever leave a shop like that. Would take me a lifetime to collect all those tools and stuff! Awsome!!!

[szekely78]

Omg!!! If this is heaven i wan t to die!!!

[bloodynuts2]

DONT TELL ME ALL THAT IS ( NEEDED) MORE MONEY THAN SENCE ID SAY..

[ClinicallyTested1]

Woodworkers wheat dream !

[mightywombat]

Crikey! It looks like a freaking hardware store in there! Someone has clearly been collecting tools for that workshop for a Long Time. Great big basement, too!

[aaronled]

Not sure what would be worse: lopping a finger off at the TS, or buying a new home and relocating all this gear

[evamac43]

Good gracious now this is awesome !!! I can hide in there and never be found ..

Jacques's came you build me a makeup dresser ?? for free..lol.

[grandeTO9]

Freaking Jacques, his basement is an Ace Hardware

[beriastro]

Whoa..... and I thought I was a tool junkie..... need to show this to my GF... maybe she realizes that my case is not that severe :)

The shop definitely makes me jealous :)

[tmmullenhevey]

it almost looks like not enough space to work

[theoriginalpunisher]

Awesome organization considering you are only working in an 1800 sqft shop. Mines in a 24x24 garage. Nice tour

[1995mazda]

If he ever asks for help moving. I'd sugest saying your busy that weekend. Lol. A

[huntr4lfe]

puts home depot to shame

[Raniljayakody]

at least u need 3 year orientation before starting work in that place...

[cndnborn]

WOW! That's the biggest shop, with the most tools and hardware in it i've ever seen! Impressive!

[NickedBlade]

I want to walk into a store with this video and say "I'll take it all". Then I want to back the truck into my new Garage/:Factory-work-shop" and start building furniture for my home as well as some sweet guitars!!!

Nice shop! CHEERS!!!

[icomba]

That is one crazy nicely organized workshop if I ever seen one. Keep me posted if your gonna sell anything.

[Penguinboy1995]

omg what is this guy making

[legoboy7825]

@fordfreak17 He is a woodworker! Hes made my schoolwork desk, my sisters, my table, our computer desk and alot more!

[tradernorton05]

lots of nice stuff, but a little too cluttered.

[legoboy7825]

@tradernorton05 Not that cluttered if youve been down there.

[Charzizzle]

hardware stores buy their supplies from him

[nuksucow1983]

judge me if you want but....

'thats my heaven!'

[slayerguitar]

what a lucky guy, hes got more router its and clamps then i could imagine!

[legoboy7825]

@slayerguitar Hes not lucky hes worked for it!

[magprob]

That is digusting, rude and pretentious. I want one just like it!!!!!! Every morning as I entered it, I would run around it three times screaming YEAH! while waving my arms in the air and jumping up and down.

[jonmessenger]

@magprob That is a little more than I am comfortable knowing :)

[legoboy7825]

@magprob How is it disgusting?

[superBrando555]

wow nice wood shop

[ironlionkalo]

is that a museum or a workshop?

[legoboy7825]

@ironlionkalo Workshop if you want the answer

[Kaputznefreble]

half of those are props, right?

No???

Now it's explained why it's so hard to find tool for sale.

The guy bought them all!

[chrisbwah]

Part of me says this should be my ideal workshop, but I can't help thinking that if it was mine I would miss having to be a bit innovative because I didn't have the right tool.

[MrLeonard55]

The first million dollar workshop.

[TheJhhjjh]

I have a new hero.

[frosbite84]

its cluttered but its a really tidy cluttered

[dafeltre]

One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I think it's so cool that humans can become so utterly absorbed in craftsmanship. Too bad this guy's mortal. I would wish nothing more for him to live and work in his shop forever.

[legoboy7825]

This is not a hardware store, I have been down there and made some cool woodwork! I am his 12 year old grandson! xD

[bobcat0]

@legoboy7825 - Very cool. Quit playing MW2 and make some woodworking videos!

[legoboy7825]

@bobcat0 Hey next time I visit Ill make one just for you...

[Demoman42]

Looks more like a warehouse then a workshop ;O

[DeptulaRacing]

how is everything not covered in saw dust?

[legoboy7825]

@DeptulaRacing Cause he uses his tools

[DeptulaRacing]

@legoboy7825 that makes no sense, because he uses his tools, sawdust would be everywhere on everything in that workshop but theres not much sawdust around the whole shop at all

[plutoplatters]

@DeptulaRacing ummmm see those "tubes" ? those suck up all the shaving/dust.

[aa6757]

wow.

[larlar752000]

Basement my ass thats Lowes :P

[legoboy7825]

@larlar752000 dude, I have been down there!

[sprior913]

So what would be the "toss me the keys and leave" price for this place?

[legoboy7825]

@sprior913 Its not a place its his basement

[sprior913]

Amazing shop. I can see that he can build any piece imaginable, it seems like it might be hard to actually find space to put them together. I didn't see a space where you could actually assemble anything. Is there an open space somewhere (hopefully near the way to get stuff in/out)?

[Mauser712]

@sprior913 I was thinking the same thing. Amazing number of tools and parts and such crammed into every nook and cranny, but no room to make anything bigger than a breadbox.

And it's too clean. I can't imagine trying to vacuum up the sawdust in there (even with all that DC).

[overmanonfire]

This is far away beyond awesome !

[DougFnDrake]

drool...................

[EmperorAst]

It's what we call "don't know what I have".

[SpartasPhalanx]

The wheel thing at 2:18 looks like a parts holder. if you look carefully one of them have dowel pieces in them

[tagi3d]

Tim "the tool man" would be howling and drooling over this workshop.

[tagi3d]

Let me guess, he spends more time buying tools than using them?

[legoboy7825]

@tagi3d If you guess that your wrong.

[capnbly7]

how big is said house above this basement

[bardock2525]

@capnbly7 its the basement of a 1800 square feet bungalow.

[capnbly7]

are you sure this isn't the CEO of home depot or lowes?

[pwnslayerss]

Me:"Hey Jacques, can i borrow a drill?"

Jacques:"Sure follow me"

"walks into basement-

**lights turn on**

Jacques:"What kind of drill?"

Me: o_o

[Truefirech]

stinking unbelievable, wow where in the world does one acquire the funds to purchase so many useful items, others never fail to amaze me.

Leave me wondering where i must have went wrong in my endeavors to make a living for myself, for heck i surpassed mid life and still haven't a pot to pee in.

[Opesh98]

It's a bit too cramped in my opinion :/

[pusikgames]

This must be where god created everything.

[levi799]

What the hell is that "wheel" at 2:18 and then 2 more at 2:54

[alzanca1]

TOO MUCH INCREDIBLE! BUT THERE IS'NT AIRRR.

[dinodinororo]

O_O mini home depot in there

[grinick]

uuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhh

[NathansBackwoods]

how many chop saw and planers does one guy need...lol, i thought we had alot of tools at my house

[PGeraghty90therebel]

what a collection. nice ventalation system too. wow how do you keep track of it all?

[ratznefumel]

at 3:03 that one big wall with screw boxes

[ndktube]

A tidy hoarder! You don't see that every day. That's way, way too much stuff. It really does look more like a hardware store than a workshop.

[stygn]

Now all he need is some floorspace! I mean, the shop is awesome, it has everything.. But I don't think I'd like working in it.. It's just too cramped. Double the floor space and keep all the stuff and it would be great! But that's just me.. I guess some people like it cramped..

[minimin0u]

@TheYTViolation I wonder if Mr. Jodoin might not have cleaned and tidied his workshop especially for the video.

[NaoteToneeta]

DElta Sign=Triforce



[couerl]

@TheYTViolation Maybe the shop is the WIP.. How it functions as a shop is much different than how it looks as one. I got the impression I was looking in a hardware store and not a shop per-se, but that's not such a bad thing either really..

[lemaro1977]

wow!!!

[iskamdaznam]

basement ??? OMG, it looks like BMW assembly line ! 

[eatmoreraw]

That looks more like an industrial factory unit!

[govangadjie47]

Absolutely Brilliant. Good luck to Jacques it looks like he has put his heart and sole into this workshop ( not to mention lots of cash ) but there is lots of evidence of actual projects being done. Only one change I would make. At least one of those bottles on the wheel would have a nice malt whiskey in it.

Go make sawdust Jacques.

Best regards, Tom

[iVolkswagen]

Great equipment, too small of space

[whatthehellisthisbit]

Wow........i'm in heaven.

Love the battery tool holders @ 3.30. I could watch this over and over and over......!!

Thanks for sharing this with us Jacques and Matthias.

[kiestikas]

there are so many tools that can opening supermarket of wood tools :) jealous :)

[jasonlajoie]

That place is crazy! How could one person possibly use all those tools? I saw so many multiples of tools - he's got back-ups for his back-ups - back-ups! I would have liked to have seen one of his jar-wheels straight-on. Old timers really love to store things in jars but I've never seen them placed in a spoke and wheel format.

[jjlwis]

omg.... that's amazing! 

[iammrlee]

Jacuques has just become the name of the person that rebuilds a city after an apocalyptic event in my personal novel.

You can really rebuild a city with the tools here. No doubt.

[TurdBlossom95]

it's amazing :') a real man cave…

[omgdan23]

Lol he has a TV and a microwave down there. Man, sell all this crap, and he'll make a FORTUNE. Unless he already owns more than a fortune.

[sikkepossu]

@omgdan23 What's the problem with you? There is no crap in this workshop and why he would want to sell his tools anyway? Think before you comment.

[marcoso94]

Like a little home depot.

[kinkfitsunday]

imagine how much money that is!!

[AmtrakBoy42]

i think this guy needs some more stuff!

[ebird97]

I need some stuff, can i borrow a table saw?

[ttk1opc]

Whoa, was that the large hadron collider at 2:18 ?

[iskamdaznam]

no, it's a soap dispenser

[Scrap5000]

@ttk1opc The wheel at 2:18 is probably an experimental "free energy" machine.  No one has succeeded in making it work so far

[flyingbrad]

Not an inch on the wall is uncovered.

[RJLeffmann]

Pretty amazing. I wonder if he ever forgets where something is in there.

[FrancekPirosrancek]

all i need is a hammer and a chisel.

[CthulhuFTW]

Every tool you'll ever need, for any project you ever do.

[52joshy]

good god

[Garciamrcool]

o.m.g

[triFeral]

oh jesus

[Chadbordeleau]

Actually looks very difficult to work in. Too cramped for my style. I appreciate the man's neatness and organizational skills, though. Gotta give him that lol.

[MsChopperdog]

WOW, just wow.........

[95Barqs1]

holy jesus, thats awesome

[nrdesign1991]

that IS an amazing workshop! I'M JEALOUS NOW!

[BlueBajs]

This man didn't just cross the line, he jumped over it and then continued walking..

[iMasterDebate]

Mmm Home Depot. Wonder how much everything is worth all together.

[Cloudwolf40]

Aladdin called, he wants his cave back

[pumkinvine]

EPIC!



[qhack]

Some day, I wish to have a shop 1/4 that size. WOW!

[asaguda]

That looks very.. Home-y and comfortable.

[NOLAMarathon2010]

I have two thoughts about this video. (1) Great choice not to provide commentary. The images speak for themselves so well that commentary would only detract. (2) Jacques has to do woodworking out of love for it. Why? I don't see any way that he could recover his capital investment in bench tools, hand tools, fasteners, etc.

[zeratul575]

@NOLAMarathon2010 agreed

how would he recover a large capitol investment in that room

WOW

i thought matt had a cool room

[UGAbulldog3]

Do You happen to be related to Shawn Matthias?!!

[fakiir]

every tool one could ever wish for but no room left to build anything. sounds like an old hitchcock plotline. hahaha



[Moe7133]

He who dies with the most toys wins!!!

[uploadmaser78]

WOOOWE

[Duckeieio]

Wow no dust.

[icekoold69]

that would take u forever to move out lol

[andrewXA9]

2:06 Triforce!!

[Berzecker27]

Paradise :)

[mmkaylala]

This brought more questions then answers, lol.

[tennist0]

@mmkaylala LOST. *fades to black*

[chrisxdeboy]

in the beginning, was that the side an acoustic guitar he was making?

[Shuhnyxia]

thats insane.

[RDJim]

Does Jacques work in his shop as his profession or is the shop strictly a hobby? Very impressive indeed.

[tofu4tortoise]

any one notice like 6 drills and reciprocating saws at 0:12 ?

[Morphis]

Bottle/Can wheels :)

[TeenWoodworker]

i am green with envy.

[trailkeeper]

It would be great to have a neighbor like that.

Lol, thourgh xDD
