Woodshop design is super important, from workflow to organization to aesthetics, lets design functional spaces that we WANT to create in! My tiny woodshop was great for handtool woodworking, but my power tools were starting to rust, so even though conditions weren't perfect, I decided to do something about it! Use what you've got to get what you need!

MORE ABOUT ME
I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable."
I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.
8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.
Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support - whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

#woodworking #woodshop #shoptips
After I retired and closed my 10,000 sq ft shop, I had the urge to continue woodworking on a smaller scale - a 300 sq ft garage! Everything is on wheels except the dust collection and air cleaner. I can move equipment out to my covered patio. I did the wiring so that I could have multiple machines operating with air and dust collection. Sweet. Just can’t be me without wood, dust, projects, glue, tools and beer (occasionally and not while using machines. Also, smoking cigars…). What a great life! You are an inspiration to all. Thank you.
Anne, thank you for being transparent and mentioning about your depression and anxiety. You are a down to earth gal and have faced challenges that many of your viewers have dealt with. You are an encouragement.
You really make it happen and make it work! What an inspiration you are for all of us! Ten thumbs up to you all your helpers and supporting friends!
Anne, I've followed your journey for the past few years. Taking that risk of moving to Tennessee was brave. You've learned important life lessons. Just because something is hard, doesn't mean you can't do it . I'm so proud of you and the turnaround you are making. Keep up the good work.
"Things don't exist in my world if I can't physically see them". I have many of the same struggles as you and have said this quote, almost ver batim, many times to my wife. People can feel alone in their struggles until that moment when someone says the perfectly relatable thing. I got really excited as soon as you said that (and had to pause the video to write this before I get distracted and forget.)
hallo Anne danke für deine Nachricht und alles gute und tschüß von Düsseldorf Germany!!
You are an inspiration to those of us who live in chaos. I empathize with ALL youor struggles and feel them deeply myself. Retired two years ago, pandemic ( I worked in the lab hehehe), major physical issues, major PTSD and Anxiety issues, but still here and still fighting. I am in your corner. Well Done, Magnifique!
It's hilarious how you've integrated everything together with farm animals, tools, etc.!!! It's AMAZING that you get so much accomplished and make it work with what you've got available......keep up the great work!
well shucks, that made my heart swell. Thank you.
Good to see you so enthusiastic again, well done with the new space
It would appear that you're handling depression and anxiety very well.
You are a force of nature! Tornadoes should never mess with you...😇
Thank you! And... I agree. I could do without them for a while :)
You're doing wonderfully, Anne! More so your talents and abilities! Your shop is looking amazing! Nice work flow! Thank you for all your hard work and your sharing it! All the very best going forward!
Just came across this video, and am so impressed by you. Rock on, Anne!
I don’t understand why I never get notified! Anyway, I come to your channel when I miss you so there. And I don’t understand why you don’t have more views and subbies, you are great, just great. Don’t doubt yourself, you are.
Still laughing about the image of those termites holding hands saying a prayer to hold up an ancient air conditioner 😂 When you're juggling with 10 balls and you drop one, or two, you still have got more balls up in the air than most f us would manage, Anne!
hahaha I do seem to love juggling...
God’s blessings, peace, and rest be on you by His Spirit, Anne. Stay well!
I too will be hanging art in front of a service panel for a friend/client of mine. nicely done...
........And I thought I was busy! Your life is a well organized stampede and I'll bet you wouldn't have it any other way. Thanks for the look around the shop. You're one in a million and have all my respect.
Wishing you joy, health and many blessings. I applaud you. Your strength inpsires me.
I've heard about sharing a space with the kids/wife but animals 😩 that's next level.
Glad to see you smiling again!
Great energy, well done on all the tasks you carry out, that is a full day, keep up the good work. Stay safe and well 💕💕
Saw the Jet bandsaw and smiled. Knew a guy that worked at the Jet factory here in TN. They're good machines.
Thanks for this look into your world, Anne. Tornadoes, termites, and a global pandemic. And you're pulling through. Thumbs up!
You have been a good example of real people struggling to make it work. Congratulations for your successful adventure. Keep your smile and continue on with the great videos.
Sending ❤ to you, Anne! Happy to see this fun update. -Rae
You have become a "true" Tennesseen, you talk with your hands!!! Glad you are moving forward and hope to see more of you in the future. God bless and keep growing
awesome idea about gluing on the screw to the front of the drawer !
Thanks for keeping it real! 😍🙃😆
Gee whiz if’s nice to see you on KZhead again! Looks like your shop is coming along. Thanks for the cool tour!
Congrats on getting more space for your tiny shop! I enjoyed the tour!
Thanks so much!
Have you seen the TikTok video of the wooden bottle opener/candy dispenser? It would be awesome to see how that could be built!
I am sure it is not at all lost on you how much your "viewers" are fond of and caring about you, lady. You are not alone, that is for sure! Thank you for sharing you challenges and the solutions you arrived at :)
That was fantastic Anne, been very curious how your work spaces were progressing, this is unbelievable how you've done so much, how everything seems to just fit, you know, like it's made to go there, the best part is your enthusiasm, and the way you explain everything, clearly proud of what you've accomplished, rightfully so!
Loved seeing Oliver... He reminds me of my beloved tuxedo kitty, Tucker... Thanks for letting him participate. 🥰
Just remember young one, food, clothing, and shelter. Everything else is gravy! Life is a changing state of chaos. Let it be what it is and keep on living. I'm glad you feel like you're getting your feet back under you, and it's good to see you.
I live in a part of Australia that has an average of 80% humidity, plus I live by the ocean. I bought some magnetic sheets and then got a motor trimmer to glue vinyl to one side. The magnet stops the atmosphere getting to the cast iron and the cost was fairly cheap. I now have zero rust on all my machines. Yay.
Love your work... Love your energy... Thanks for the most entertaining shop tour I have seen yet.
You are a light.
Great workshop Anne. Keep the videos coming.
you have a mental fortitude that I would find difficult to muster, and it looks awesome, keep up the good work
Love the cameo appearance by Oliver, the shop lion! :). Huge kudos and shout out for wearing the Fire Department Coffee shirt!
I really need to take some time off from work and implement some of your amazing ideas.... so many of the things you talk about in your life are SO relevant to me and struggles I have.
Love your enthusiasm, and this was a wonderful tour of your shop…just a thought.. imagine doing this video all over again, with your hands in your pockets the entire time…would be quite different.lol.
very cool space even with furry shop assistants 👍👍
Thanks Mark! I'm working on the spot in the new building for my bridgeport restoration this week 😅
@@AnneofAllTrades maximum excitement 🙌🙌
I can relate to the humidity, I am SE Texas, near, but not on the coast, and in my garage/shop roof leaks, but its what I have for now, and yes, paste wax is your friend.
WOW... Anne.. You are amazing..
You should consider using starrett M1 on your machines as well as cover them with a zerust covers, they make them in many sizes to fit table saws, bicycles and even motorcycles. If you can't find one close enough in size to work with your machines you can always modify them to fit better. I know a few professional furniture makers who use them to cover every machine they have, if it works for shops in Florida near the beach it should work for you in Tennessee.
That stuff is way too pricey for my budget at the moment, the wax works fine, hopefully this will be a short season of making do, the school is almost dried in so I’ll be able to move my tools out there soon.
Awesome stuff Anne! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
You go girl. Always enjoy your videos and to anyone who wants to support Annie in some way, the Tri Blend T-shirts from her farm store are soooo comfortable. Thanks Annie.
Wow, those crickets! Good to see that joy is flourishing on the farm.
Anne you are amazing... even Oliver agrees!
Lookin' up, all around. Good news and well done. Godspeed.
God bless you. Hope your struggles become strength and peace. You are a great person.
I look forward to your videos. I feel all the pains common to us all, electrical, AC, incomplete projects waiting for your return. I feel it all. I am rooting for you.
Welcome back missed you
Anne, you are seriously entertaining! 6:26 termites holding hands... hilarious... so unexpected...
Official channel theme music "Our Day Will Come" 😂 We love you Anne, we're all looking forward to seeing that barn finished.
I love your shop and the garden. I love watching you make things. I loved the bamboo projects too. More, more, more. 💚
Hello Anne, love your videos, and it was great to see your shop. BTW, “Vice Jaws”, was the word you were looking for. Stay well. Steve
I'm sorry Anne, but the first 2 seconds when you walked into the machine I watched over and over a few times. It caught me completely off guard and literally laughed out loud.
Nice set up for multipurpose.
Thank you!
Your brain works like mine. Out of sight it doesn’t exist.🤣 I know the struggle.
You are a modern Wonder Woman
Good to see that things are looking up Anne…your perseverance is impressive 👍
When the going gets tough, the only answer is to alter your path or take smaller steps. I'm working on doing a little of both ❤
Your voice always brings me up Kinda like Reba McEntire. Always so upbeat. Thanks for all your inspiration.
Need some Irish Dexter cows or Lamancha goats? We are downsizing our farm in Wilson County TN.
Heck yes on the dexters! I already have a couple. Can you send me an email? Marketing@anneofalltrades.com
THIS is a beautiful mess. I’m working on creating more chaos in my life too!
We're going through the same struggles right now starting a farm and trying to get a shop built. I've got almost all my tools crammed into our 1940's farmhouse basement. I'm hopefully breaking ground on a shop building this year. It would make farm projects so much easier to build them in a shop and then haul them out with the tractor. Looking forward to seeing the school of all trades completed. My wife and I are excited to come take classes!
Rock salt and humidity that is chemistry for rust for sure . your space looks good many out here would love to have a set up like that .Happy trails.
Thank you! You have a lot of great ideas and it looks like we are a lot alike so I can use your ideas to make my shop better too. Thanks again, have a wonderful weekend.
Very nice Job. Looking really good Anna. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making. God bless.
well done. My buddy has what is the magic window, which allows long materials to be managed in his shop. when I built my shop, I took into consideration, things like how high is a sheet of plywood corner to corner, what if I want to wash the floor, where will I keep special things for later projects....outdoor power for the welder, a hot water spigot for outside... hurricane strength galore... now I am living up near Cashiers NC. I will soon be building a new shop up here. I am excited again...
You are such a joy. Love your enthusiasm and honesty. Best wishes always.
Thank you so much!
always interesting
I just started my own small business I turn wood etch glass wood burning and just handy man stuff.... keep your head up chick-o-matic you are rocking your dream the best way you can. Many positive vibes for ma'am
I need to know more about this little tool box I really like that idea but I bet I will subconsciously figure out how to stack stuff on top of it also the hidden brain board how does that work exactly you explained some of it but I need details that years back to my wife’s life 😂
Nice!
Great video Annie, greetings from Australia. Your videos are a great break from work for me.
good utilization of the space. I feel your pain I work in a fairly small to medium house garage. I do what I can haha.
Wow
Love the sarcasm in this video ❤️
Looks like good forward progress.I always like seeing where other people work and how they have the space set up.
Thank you so much John! I can’t wait to get the blacksmith shop set up in the new school! It’s gonna be pretty epic!
Love the upgrade to your shop ;)
Love what you do Anne
The first bit sounds a lot like 'musical chairs' except with woodworking machines. Which BTW is not unlike my situation. I hope your situation improves with the new additions.
Looks good!
Awesome Anne. :)
Stop it, you're having way too much fun
superbe travail félicitation anne
Thank you!
I need that kind of electrical panel help. Know anyone crazy enough to swap out two 200 amp Zinsco panels. For those that don't know , Zinsco breaker panels were cheap panels pushed hard back in the early 1970's. They are subpar on many levels starting with a weak aluminium alloy for the busbars.
Great video very entertaining. Good to see the progress you've made. Congats. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Thank you kindly!
Always fun seeing your videos Anne. Your shop looks a lot more organized than mine. How does the humidity in Tennessee compare to that in the Seattle area? I moved from the east side of Oregon (about 30% humidity) to the coast and the humidity on the coast creates a huge problem with keeping things from rusting. Looking forward to seeing your next video.
💞
I very much identify with needing to see things!
❤️❤️❤️
You forgot to mention the most important tool, an over-fed, furry lap warmer.
Shop Kitties are also an important part too ! for Soul restoration during stressful times :-) there's nothing like snuggling a Purring fur friend to make the world seem tolerable again :-) #Oliverfanclub ;-):-)
Nobody should be THAT BUSY! as far as the layout: if it works, it ain't wrong 👍🏼 take at least one day a week off to relax and enjoy life, ponder, think. instead of working it away.
It's not work if you love what you are doing. God Bless to you and Annie.
love video. can you explain your tee shirt " Fire Dept Coffee" I can make my own expiation.
Haha It was a gift from a friend who owns that coffee company :)
Another great video Mrs Anne
