Updated 2.0 Workshop Tour 2020 #aussieworkshops2020

Maximum Chips, Workshop, Workshop Tours,

Decided it was time to post an update to my workshop tour. Inspired by all the other Aussie makers who posted theirs for #aussieworkshops2020​

Firstly – thank you to those that supported me in #movember​ over at http://bit.ly/MQ-Mo​ I raised $1000 which personally was pretty amazing really. Hopefully next year with lessons learned, better prep, we can hit our goal of $999,999.

The workshop / shed is a bit of a complete mess at the moment with so much tidying to be done after several projects and tools just left stacked on the center table. Plus keep buying new stuff and not putting things away. I know…

Has been an insanely busy 12-18 months. The video stuff was taking up Uni time so needed to readjust there. Plus my work as a teacher’s aid went from 1 day to 3 to 5 days full-time so pretty much everything else got put on hold. Good for $$ and buying new toys though…

Tour of the workshop studio.

Maximum Chips, Studio, Workshop Tours

Pt 3 of cleaning up the workshop. This time we go inside the “studio” that’s been converted from part of the old shed.

It’s a nice potential “granny flat” outside bedroom with its own toilet and sink. Or some kind of studio for photo framing, electrical work, finishing away from dust, sewing room etc.

At the moment it’s another dumping ground with everything on the floor. First step is to get some shelving put up and clear some space.

Had some great feedback and ideas for shelving etc – please keep them coming in the comments below or on facebook.

Quick follow-up workshop tour after 3 hour cleanup.

After doing the initial workshop tour (see link below), I spent about 3 hours cleaning up the basics. Cleared up all the recycling and bagged it, swept the floor, put away all the pots, and just generally tidied up. Still left with a fair bit to do for next weekend but at least its a start and you can see the workbenches again.

Initial shop tour of the workshop and shed, pre-cleanup.

Maximum Chips, Workshop, Workshop Tours

Quick first tour of my shed / woodworking workshop.

It was initially built in 1950’s as a wool classing shed hence the big size. 1/4 has been converted into a “granny flat / studio” – but still a big space to play with.

Needs a serious cleanup and tidy. Been a bit lazy putting things away and it’s just snowballed.

Looking for some ideas to best upgrade the next step. Lots of wall space but not sure how to utilise it best. Any ideas and comments appreciated.

Please subscribe for more videos and give this one a Thumbs Up if you liked it. Thanks.
