Shop Tour 2: Return of Garbage on the Floor

I've been in the new workshop for around a year. Come and see how I ruined it. If you want to see and hear more you can follow me on Instagram: www.instagram.com/handtoolrescue

Have you ever considered collecting and restoring hand planes?

Clifton Ballad

See, vids like this make me feel like a lazy bastard, mostly because I am, but if you saw the size garage I have to play in you would likely hate me... My only defense is that its not heated so I cant do things during the winter or keep anything made of steel in it (Especially precision surfaces) or they turn to orange death.

Thanks for that. Very interesting trip around your workspace. Interspersed, of course, by your usual wit. However, you have revealed your weakness to traits the rest of us are also prone to - hoarding, obsessive collecting, cluttered benches, inability to move old projects out of the workshop. We though you were above such frailties? You inspire us to do all of the above, and we love you for it.

John Rigon

Talk about a savage hobby, collecting hand planes. How hard is it to decide which one to use? Great vid, and so interesting to see how your workshop is set up... 10/10

Marc McKenzie

This was fun! I share your intense passion for the 19th century metal planer, and look forward to a video on it. It occurs to me an awesome goal for you would be to someday build a reproduction tool like your wrench, using all period tools you’ve restored!

Jared Rattray

This video scares me as I've started collecting and restoring planes.

david batig

I collect steel-toe Crocs as well.

Drew Bell

I like the idea of revisiting previous restorations! Our house is 90 years old, so most of the fixes and upgrades we make are undoing previous "improvements" or taking another swing at failed fixes, so that whole lifecycle is fascinating.

Definitely! Some do get used, but at least the others aren't getting rusty.

Thanks for another great video, Eric! Happy New Year!!

I feel your hoarding tendencies, man. I use an old card catalogue to store my hand tools, and I have recently realized that I have a bit of an obsession with antique pliers. It’s getting so I will need multiple plier drawers. How much pliering can one person do?

Michael Butts

Clearly... there was a wholly inadequate amount of garbage on the floor. This revelation casts aspersions on your claimed modus operandi and I am moderately appalled. All kidding aside. I love the content. Thank you for inviting us in and giving a glimpse into where the hands on magic happens, har har. Loving the podcast and your input often sends me into fits of laughter!

handtoolrescue

Haha thank you! You know I have never actually advertised the podcast in a YouTube video yet? I should probably do that...

Michael Butts

I had, but I figured you had your reasons. No time like the present. You have a large fan base. Is there any good reason not to? I am woefully ignorant in these things.

Brooks Moses

Wait, there's a podcast? I'd missed this! Where is it?

Michael Butts

Yup, it is the Fitzall Podcast. It is an awesome trio of tool loving dudes.

Alex Teela

Number of chainsaws is a direct measure of personal wealth.

Andrew Humphrey

If memory serves me correctly, This Old Tony has indicated his garage is not heated. Which is kind of surprising given how much he works in it.
