The Most Common Problems Beginner
Woodworkers Face Are Tool Selection & Workshop Space
In this detailed guide, I’ll take
you by the hand and show you exactly how to setup a FULLY FUNCTIONAL workshop
for under $1,000… and do it with very little space.
In fact, if you have just 10’ x 6’
square feet, I promise you can setup a workshop just as great as the $10,000+
ones the experts use.

Inside this 246 page illustrated
book there are SIX modules.
One for every area of setting up a
home workshop. This includes:
workshop tools woodworking
Module #1:
Tool
Selection
By far the biggest way woodworkers
lose money and get discouraged is tool selection. In this module, I’ll show
you:
How to determine exactly which
tools you need for your woodworking hobby BEFORE you start buying… so you’ll
never blow your hard-earned cash on a tool that just ends up sitting in a box
unused.
My hand-tool only shopping list if
your budget is under $500 (or if you just want to use hand-tools only)… and
direct links to buy them for the best price. (pg 41)
My power tool and hand-tool
shopping list if your budget is under $1,000… and direct links to buy them for
the best price. (pg 42)
The 5-second trick that keeps your
tools and machines in top working condition. The manufacturers won’t tell you
this for a reason! (Do this before and after you start working and you can
postpone buying replacement parts for YEARS.)
My secret source for buying tools
at HUGE discounts. I once found a Dewalt DW734 12 ½ inch planer for $170 on
this site… when Amazon sold it for $399. And NO ONE talks about this place.
You’ll get my “short-list” of
stationary, portable, and pneumatic tools for your new workshop… and I’ll show
you where to buy them at 40-60% off what you’d pay at Home Depot, Wal-Mart,
Amazon, or even Harbor Freight!(Go to Page 89 for this eye-opening intel!)
The best (and really the ONLY)
items I would recommend buying at big box stores like Home Depot and Walmart.
The difference between wood-working
with hand-tools vs power-tools. And how to know if a project is better suited
for power tools or if hand-tools are the way to go for better precision and
control.
Why shopping for tools through most
online and big-box retailers is almost always a waste of money. (There’s a BIG
difference between promising low prices… and actually delivering on that
promise!)
My personal "rolodex" of
suppliers that offer heavily discounted tools. These suppliers have everything
you need - from hand tools, to power equipment, to portable tools and even
replacement parts – at the lowest prices I’ve ever seen! (I don’t let many
people see this “hush-hush” list.)
The tools I recommend have been
used by either myself or someone I personally know. Their durability and
performance is top notch and I can vouch for them.

Module #2:
Space
Selection
When setting up a long-term shop,
you don’t want to screw this up. Get it wrong, and you’ll have all sorts of
problems… but get it right, and your life will be much easier. In this module
I’ll reveal...
Starting on Page 11, I’ll walk
through all of the possible types of home workshop spaces… and list the pros
and cons of each so you can choose the perfect space for your shop.(This has
saved my students SO much aggravation and time!)
You'll get ideas and layouts for
all sizes of workshops, from the large to tiny - including setting up a
woodworking shop in your garage, basement, attics, home spaces, apartment
corners and more...
The one place that is perfect for a
small workshop... but from what I’ve seen… very few ever consider it!
The most popular first choice for a
home workshop that seems like a good idea at first.. but causes nothing but
problems in the long run... (Hint: some things are downright impossible to
build in it… and more than that... it can be a real fire hazard!)...(pg 15-16)
The ONE part of your home that’s
very spacious… but is the WORST area for a shop for three very big reasons. (pg
13)
Why mobile homes should NEVER be
used as dedicated workshops. Ignore this and you could easily end up arm-less
or on your way to the morgue! (pg 23)
How to divide your workshop into
different areas of your home. This requires more walking around but if you’re
really stressed for space this is a god-send idea!

Module #3:
Shop
Layouts
Once you have your location picked
out and your tools ordered and on the way… the next step is choosing the best
woodworking shop layout for your space.
Inside this module you’ll find:
How to plan and design your
workshop to fit nicely in whatever space you have available… without
sacrificing tools and machines you really need. (I’ve built woodworking studios
in spaces as small as 7’x7’!)
Perfect shop layouts for spaces
that are 10’ x 10’ or under. (Get drawings and diagrams showing how to position
every item in your shop for maximum productivity, safety and enjoyment.)
What I call the “doorway trick” …
using this technique along with a smart layout can make a small space work like
a larger one! (pg 29)
The ONE tool you absolutely need to
setup as movable to maximize your workspace… and my exact process for
converting any heavy, stationary machine into a mobile one that anyone can move
around. (pg 33-35)
You’ll get detailed floor plans and
space-saving layout recommendations for your workshop. It includes machine
placement and dividing your work space effectively for different woodworking
tasks. (You’ll be surprised what you can do with a tiny or oddly shaped space!)

Module #4:
Electricity,
Lighting and Sound Proofing
After you have your layout chosen,
the next step is to plan these three elements around your layout. Inside this
module I’ll show you:
You’ll learn the ins and outs of
lighting and electricity for your workshop, including cost, layout, and whether
you should tackle this part yourself or hire a pro. (plus my $40.78 solution to
superb whole-shop lighting!)
The cheap circuit type that can
power almost anything... without ever risking a blown breaker. (pg 89)
How to sound-proof your shop using
the same process singers use to record their music. This will reduce the sound
coming from your shop by 50% or more.
The best time of day to run your
loudest equipment. Combine this with my sound-proofing tip and you’ll eliminate
the possibility of disturbing neighbors
How to lower all sound that escapes
from your workshop by as much as 70% for under $500.. (The people you live with
will thank you, believe me.)
Speaking of noise… I’ve included a
list of low-noise tools to help keep the peace in your home… and all together,
they’ll only set you back about $1,000. (Yes, low-noise tools really do exist
at budget prices… check out Page 81 to see for yourself!)

Module #5:
Heating,
Cooling, Ventilation & Dust
Don’t underestimate how important
these issues are. They can mean the difference between working in comfort and
working in constant irritation. In this module I’ll show you:
The $3 trick that ensures you have
clean air even without inside-to-outside ventilation (which can make your
workspace either hot or cold). This trick might even be healthier than having
fans in your windows. (pg 195)
The EXACT model of shop vac I
recommend to my students. (this vac is the best performer for its price... a
great value!)
Why “cheap” heaters are not the way
to go if you want to save money. And what to do instead. (pg 200)
The best types of heaters for shops
that are well insulated and those that are not well insulted. Read about it
from pg 199
Don’t make this serious humidity
mistake when choosing your heating solution. Doing so could ruin your wood
stock within hours. Find out what it is on pg 212

Module #6:
Workshop
Safety
Maintaining and organizing the
overall safety of your shop should be your final step in setting up a small
shop.
In this part of the guide I’ll
reveal:
The one type of shop fire that
gives you a 50/50 chance of losing your home. (Learn about it on pg 220)
Two tricks to avoid tripping over
cables. By far the most common way people get injured in home workshops. More
than that... it also ruins your peace of mind always having to be careful where
you step. I’ll show you how to solve these issues and achieve both safety and
freedom of movement.
90% of workshop fires can be
prevented by doing this one post-work habit which you'll discover on page 228
My 10 item checklist for shop
safety. Even experienced wood workers should follow these guidelines… doing so
can save your house, your fingers and maybe your life!
The 4 items that can set your shop
on fire faster than you can blink! (This is something all woodworkers must
absolutely be aware of)
