Strangely satisfying seeing a fellow woodworker put more effort into making a beautiful place to store his sandpaper with such aesthetic beauty and quality that surpasses just about any furniture you could buy at any store. I think that is the epitome of conscientiousness

Aside from all the usual "that is amazing" aspects of the video, the biggest takeaway for me (I'm not a carpenter) is that "veneered plywood" exists. I've used leftover plywood scrap for so many things and it never even occurred to me that you could buy plywood that actually looks pretty, what a lovely concept

Totally! I love veneered plywood. It's stable and way quicker to make furniture with then solid wood. The only thing to be careful of is sanding through the veneer.

Once apon time a woodworkers tool chest was there cv to show how good they were. My dad had a over complicated saw horse he built on his apprenticeship but it was a excise to get him up to speed on a joint for where he was working. So building stuff like this give us time to polish our skill, in the video you used the ingraver which was cool. Also we spend a long time in our shops so let's make some where we want to spend time in. I really liked the sketching in space for the floating shelf at 18:08. Really look forward to seeing how you get on with the rest of the workshop.

A really nice finishing touch you could do, to tie your brass pieces into the red coloring you have in other places, is to fill in the engravings with red paint. Fingernail paint works best, and it even has it's own little brush. Simply clean the area to be painted with an alcohol pad, sparingly brush some paint over the engravings and allow it to dry per the instructions. Next, gently sand away the excess paint surrounding the engravings to reveal your painted engravings. A lot of people do this to their firearms, as well as hand tools, such as wrenches and sockets. I really like the look you created for your shop. The black paint really makes everything else stand out. I can't wait to see what you do to the rest of your shop!!!

Wonderful job. The only time I winced was when I saw that you store your planes upright. My Grandfather was a cabinet maker and taught my Dad that planes should always be stored on their sides, and my Dad passed this on to me. I think that it is supposed to help protect the cutting edge of the plane from damage. So now my planes are always laid on their sides. I maybe the only person in the world that still does this, but it seems like the right thing to do.
