    Default Astounding Workshop

    This popped up in YT today. I haven't watched all of it but it seems fairly impressive in the little I have seen.

    They reckon everything in Texas is big but that is ridiculous.

    Yes amazing and a little confusing at the same time.
    I came across this one a while ago.

    Impressive but not my style, Not enough room for the work I produce. And seriously, Three bandsaws? Most of the machines could only have a 3 foot stick worked through them just not enough space around stuff. Certainly a good effort though.

    This turned up on WoodCentral as well ... totally OTT, and too busy, busy, busy for me. I think that we need to take a poll of how many had a seizure after watching. I lasted 3 minutes.

    This shop is equally OCD, but at least resembles a woodshop. I recall watching this video set several years ago. It is interesting enough and has some genuinely useful ideas but, mercifully, shorter ...

    Far too busy for me.

    Its excellent that he put so much work into it though.

    I love simple, deeply simple workspaces. Clutter, things out and visual noise do my head in

    And here's a neat Aussie one. You get a bit dizzy with the camera movements though.

    Hi Chris (and all). I must confess that I do enjoy watching these tours but they often remind me of how much money can disappear into a hobby. Most of them don't seem to be workshops of people who make a living from the tools they have and can sometimes seem a little excessive - the Festool wall for instance. On the other hand, if I had the means, would I like to have all the bits and bobs? Probably yes but I would be too embarrased to share it with others.

    No, No, No.......

    Great selection of toys, really good fit out, but the shop itself is way too small. More like trying to get a Texan to fit into New England.

    Even if I had the money I would not build anything like this and as said above I wonder what drives people to firstly do it and secondly put it on YT. Tyme's video was most probably some sort of Festool promo at the time but I may be wrong.
