From an empty single car garage to a capable woodworking workshop that can STILL have a car parked in it. Join me as I take you through the complete 5 year transformation of my garage, step by step, pallet wood project by bed slats project, so you can see what it takes to build an awesome workshop without sacrificing your car's parking spot. This must be the most in-depth workshop tour on YouTube! đ
So pop this on grab the popcorn or cast an eye and ear over it while you work on your next build and hopefully, you'll be entertained and take inspiration from my woodworking journey. Speaking of inspiration, the making of this marathon video was forcefully encouraged by two top makers whom I also happen to call friends. They have also recently compiled some of their best work into movie-length features. Please do go check them out.
