Looks great, I know that feeling about neighbors calling the city on you.
I was curious about the loft height and the height above it. This is exactly what I want. I don't have the space you do. Mine is 20 x 50. I wish I had an additional 10 feet of width but it was here when I bought the place. I am also in hot Texas. I will measure but think my ceiling is 18 feet. Great job. Dream shop is an understatement!
Awesome shop. Congrats!
Stoked for you! What a shop space to work in!
Awesome shed, congratulations 👍
Good job young man!
Looks well done congratulations
Great shop... Looking forward to updates.
I'm envious. That's a beautiful shop.
Awesome man, looking forward to seeing some new videos and that ranger!
Cool shop!
Some real good ideas here. It’s always a work in progress.
Been a fan since the beginning. Cool to see how far you’ve come since wrenching in the driveway… congrats man 👍👌
Love the work area under the loft
congratulations
Amazing shop! Hopefully one day I have a garage that big
Hell yea man I'm happy for you and look forward to the content!
I’m sure the lift is on the to do list… congrats on the new shop! Goals right here!!!
Shop looks amazing! I would like to see your dualsport adventures too!
Oh man I love your shop. Hopefully one day I will build one. 👍💪
Chris your new shop is awesome. Come a long way from the driveway in Albuquerque. Keep on wrenching and STAY RECKLESS
I remember these builds you are showing. I have a Ranger that I want to do a SPOA on. You have come so far!!
NICE Shop there Dude...............................LOVE your Dogs, there Beautiful !
If anyone thinks about spray foaming their shop, install house wrap before steel goes on so that it can be replaced when needed
Please explain why? Im getting ready to do mine.
I don’t trust spray foam , it’s to easy to have a bad fire . I don’t trust it even with fire retardant , your better off with roll insulation , I used 4 inch roll insulation . And blown in about 6 inches in ceilings, it holds a cool temperature in summers, and nothing has froze even in windy - 20 temps , with no heat in it , but it warms easily and cools easily
because it sticks to it@@bradmason8334
foam sticks to the metal siding so if u try an replace the metal, u have to get new spray foam @@bradmason8334
@@bradmason8334because it’s all stuck together. You definitely want this.
This is awesome brotha. Keep up the great work. 💪🏽
Good Job bro, way to live the dream.
Nice Shop
Looks awesome!!
Thank you!
Bad ass shop
That garage project came out amazing! I ride KTMs also! I think you'd appreciate 2 mini splits in that space, especially to battle the Texas heat! I'm guessing two 3 ton units would do it!
Nice!
Them Texas themed Crocs for the win dude!! 👌👌👌👌👌
Good to see the channel back up and running. Keep up the great work and awesome content!
Thank you!
You had me when I saw you added the dog door! :)
I looked at having my shop spray foamed, but could not justify the costs. I stayed expanda foam from cans to make it air tight, then rolled R19 fiberglass in my 2x6 16" on center studding. Then I blew 24" of fiberglass in the attic on top of 4mil plastic as a vapor/corrosin barrier. I then covered all the walls with 4 mil clear plastic using cap nails as staples don't seem to hold well. I can wash vehicles without ever getting the insulation wet, and is added to the air tight construction. I love the ability to keep my shop cold or warm. I did more labor, but saved $3K plus and got a better R value. Nice shop.
New viewer. Awesome shop! Hard work pays our. Also new subscriber! Keep up the success.
Awsome shop. I am working out of a 2 car garage that fits 1 car in it from so many tools. I will be moving from where I am to another state where I can build huge shop.
Hell ya you put your time in you deserve it 🇺🇸🦾
Glad to see you back at it and now with a wicked shop!!! Are you comfortable giving a cost breakdown? I understand prices vary depending on area and material supply… Stay reckless!
I really enjoyed the rawness of our original videos. It was super DIY but you made some cool stuff. I hope you continue on with that theme even though you have a may more legit set up. Congrats man!
I will always show the success and failures that we have, and we will always keep it real. There is a bit more polish on the videos than when we started, but even with a dedicated shop I don't think the theme of the channel will change. Thanks for watching! 🍻
Looks awesome!! Looking forward to new content.
Thank you, I am looking forward to building cool stuff again 😎
This was kinda surreal. I gave up access to a decent sized shop to free up the time to build my truck in my driveway, out of my tiny garage with a borrowed welder. Luckily my neighbors have been really cool.
I like the video. I'm waiting on materials to be dropped off on our property for a 32x48x12 shop. Haven't had a tree to work under for almost 7 years now. I'll be overwhelmed as the last garage was 24x32x8. I'm excited to say the least. It's a lot of money but will make our lives much more enjoyable. Mostly mine because I work on the vehicles and our home has lacked tremendously on storage. And we can get the toys out of the weather.
Looks badass man!
Thank you! It took a while, but it's getting dialed in
Check with Harbor Freight on your big grey jack stands. They had a recall on them because they might collapse. I took mine back and then got some real beefy ones from Summit Racing. Nice work on the shop. I will be building one soon.
Congratulations on the awesome shop! If I can make one recommendation it’s to make sure you have multiple large fire extinguishers throughout the garage. Half ass customs channel is an example of how quickly everything can be lost.
Great shop. Just came across your vid. Going to check out your other stuff. Watching from Ontario Canada
Thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Perfect shop, good you did that insulation now if it gets too hot you can always do a mini split near the back where your tools are. Stay reckless!
We have had a hot summer this year and I have already considered a mini split lol. Maybe in another year or two when I get some extra coin saved up
@@RecklessWrenchGarage o
Lone Star shop shoes too. ;)
Congrats on the new shop. Can’t wait to see what’s next👍
So glad to see you back on KZhead. You need a fresh air system for the compressor. Just a few holes and a mesh to filter the air coming in. Or you will suffer from water in the air lines.
In the closet under the stairs I built a hidden vent. You can kind of see it when I open the door to the jack stands
beautiful shop brother. what's the height from frame to loft floor clearance?
Brilliant place for a compressor. I have my eyes on the same compressor at the store.
All about using space wisely 🤘🏻
Awesome! I like the loft, and the flag..where do you keep extra parts ect? I would need a ton of shelves and loft space personally.
Great shop. I am just waiting to hear back from a builder connection about pricing on a shop I designed. Holding my breath, cuz it's probably going to be way high. Everyone cross your fingers with me! lol Thanks for the tour. Do you worry about the compressor overheating at all? I have thought about enclosing mine too. Cheers.
Cute with the dogs doing an inspection. Why the covered open space on the side. Would not have been that expensive to move the wall out when it was built. I am moving my compressor outside in it's own shed to cut down on noise. Now you need a two post lift.
Looks great! I know i said it before but im in for dual sport content as well
Noted!
Super nice setup! What lights are you using? They look like each of them have their own three prong plug. Instead of replacing bulbs, you just replace the whole fixture?
Nice workspace! Much respect to you for how much you were able to accomplish in the driveway. Do you know what the next project is?
I'm still trying to figure that out lol. I have looked at one potential project vehicle but it was a no-go. I have had an urge to build a cross-kart but I'm trying to find something somewhat budgetable
Super excited for you. Now when can I bring the LJ over to get work done. lol
Anytime!
Plywood is cheap in America. Line your workshop area with it and you can hand all sorts of stuff on it
The size and simple design is cool. What LxBxH? Do you have AC and HEAT ? Price estimate for completion ?
Now you need a Mr.Cool
sic Danger Ranger
Nice shop. Is a lift coming?
How hot does your air compressor get in there? Might want to vent to outside air.
Nice Shop🏁New Subscriber
What matt is on the floor? Love the compressor closet
small laundry machine for rags would be nice
You are going to need venting in that compressor closet.
Already done. 👍🏻
Dream shop build! Curious to know a bit of a cost breakdown, off course each region would vary. Cheers 🤘🇨🇦
I am thinking about doing a cost breakdown of my build, I just don't know of there was interest
@@RecklessWrenchGarage That would be great! A lot of us are looking for cost info even if not in our own area. I just subscribed.
Awesome layout. I just got through permiting for mine and we are waiting for the materials. What a nightmare it is to put up something as simple as a garage...
Luckily for where I live that part of the process is a breeze, but I have heard horror stories of people just trying to get permission to build
whats the total cost to have build the garage itself? I would love to know for my own project.
Are you going to get vehicle hoist installed ?
What’s the code for fire proofing the spray foam?
What roll up door opener is that??
Just discovered your channel, very nice shop!! I'm in the process of building one as well, I was curious as to who's lighting you used?
I used hyper light high bay LEDs. I used 150 watt lights
I hope you have ventilation in that closet for your air compressor? It will not last as long
Love your content. You mentioned Texas as you described insulating your shop with spray foam; what part in Texas?
Thanks for watching! I am in the DFW area
I enjoyed the tour and learned a lot but you never mentioned the size of the barn.
Why no railing on the front of the loft?
Why no lift? Or is that a plan for the future
Congratulations on the new beginning I'm also looking into buying a shop like that how big is it and price I'm in tx also
Thanks! I am putting together a video outlining the prices of the build 👍🏻
Love the build. Are those "HyperLite" lights in the main area of your shop? Did you do anything to your floor (sealant, epoxy, etc.)? I'm just breaking ground on my 50x50 shop so your channel gave me some great ideas, especially the mezzanine. I had plans to do the exact thing and was so excited when i stumbled on your DIY video of the mezzanine. By the way, I like the bikes. I'm an avid dirt biker and adv rider. I had a 690 for years and have several KTM's in the stable right now.
These are hyper lite 150watt led lights, they are awesome! I didn't do anything to concrete. I probably should have sealed it. I looked into epoxy but it was insanely expensive
@@RecklessWrenchGarage I appreciate the quick response. Hyperlite lights was the way I was planning to go so glad to hear you're happy with them. Regarding the epoxy, I totally understand.
You don't have to tell me about the heat twice .I did a simple leaf spring fix on my suburban front you know how the driver side intends to lean lower on square body .took for ever to put that video up on here upload.but Added one leaf on driver side took 30 minutes outside in Arkansas and shirt was like someone dumped a bucket of water over me once done .24 minutes to be exact .but 7 minutes to pull u bolts and tie rod end just to get zero rate off. Shop looks great it's exactly what I would have done as well .
I can relate. I lived in Little Rock for 3 years and the summers are brutal!
@@RecklessWrenchGarage exactly were I live .last year not so bad but this year nope don't even cut the grass let it turn yellow then cut it.lol
I just put up my 30X50x15 shop and hope to build a mezzanine like yours. I am sorry if this was asked before but what height is the mezzanine and how did you decide on that? Thank you for your videos!
It's just under 8 foot to the mezzanine. Head space under it was super important and that's how I calculated that. I don't need anything super tall (other than myself) under it. The mezzanine takes up about 10 inches of height (9 inches for 2x10 plus 3/4 thick plywood floor)
You need a two post lift
What led lights did you use? Hyperlite? If so did you use the clear or fog reflector covers? 6 total? What watts?
These are the hyperlite high bay LEDs. 150watt, 13 feet off the ground, 8 lights. I purchased the fog globes after I installed the lights because the glare was really bright without them
Why did you opt for one big door as opposed to two? Are you going to put a railing on your loft space? Or keep it open and use a crane to winch heavy things up there? Why do you have two man-doors two feet apart on the one corner of the building? Super nice shop! Came out great! Only recommendation I have is when you get a fridge get one with a window front so that you and your friends can always see what's available before you open it. Looks so much nicer plus you're not having friends constantly opening & shutting it non-stop to take a peek. ; )
1 big door netted me more wall space than 2 smaller doors. I may build a railing, I need to use the shop a bit and decide on that setup! I have 2 man doors in the corner because I have a fence on that wall so if I'm in my backyard I don't want to walk to the front to go outside.
Thanks for watching and for the questions/suggestions 🍻
Hey man, what are the dimensions? I am building a 24x32x10 but thinking about increasing the wall height so I can do the loft like you have. I just would want the loft tall enough to comfortably stand. Thanks for the video!
This is a 14 foot wall height on the barn which gives about 13 feet once the floor is in. If you want to stand and move around on the loft and make it a hangout type area, get scissor trusses, that way you don't have beams low to hit your head on
Did you get the "harder you work" sign from Dueling designs?
Yes!
Did you insulate your roll up shop door? If so what did u use?
Both roll up doors are insulated. I purchased the insulation with the doors, but it's basically a big reflective panel foam stuck to the door
What kind of lights did you use in the new shop?
I used hyper lite 150watt high bay LEDs. 8 of them in the shop
About to build myself a 30x40 and this is very helpful. What are the dimensions on your mezzanine? Do you wish you’d gone bigger? Or smaller? How high off the floor are then bottom of the floor joists?
The bottom of the floor joist are 7.5 feet. The mezzanine is 10 feet wide. I love the size of it, it's just right. The wall height of my building is 14 feet.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage Thanks man. Been very helpful. Love your garage.
That answered my question I just asked. My ceiling is 18 feet i believe. I will measure tomorrow. I was wanting to atill be able to pull any vehicle under if i ever needed to. With so much height, it really is a waste of potential space. You did exactly what I had in my head. I don't have the width you have so will have to maybe go against the back wall with the stairs. Not sure. My shop is 20 x 50. The former owners had a Greyhound bus type of RV (looked like a rock star rv) and they needed the height. I may even be wrong. My ceiling may be 16 feet. @RecklessWrenchGarage
What kind of metal siding did you nail to the wall at 1:12?
It's just some 26 gauge roofing tin from the hardware store.
@@RecklessWrenchGarage thanks bro
@@RecklessWrenchGarage good vid btw
You mentioned the wall height, but how about shop size dimensions.
This is 30x60
4 inch concrete is thick enough for a 2 post rack.
does your wife have a detailing channel?
That's awesome? Getting a lift?
Not anytime soon. I thought a ton about it, and I don't really want one taking up the space. They are handy, but for a lot of the stuff I do stands on the floor work really well
Great job on the shop build, you might want to check out the Maxjax portable hoist. Looks a good solution if you don’t want a fixed lift in the middle of the shop. Make a simple cover plate for the studs in the floor so you don’t trip over them 😉
Someone else mentioned those to me and they seem pretty neat! I like the idea of a lift that can be stashed when not needed. Working around a lift can be just as annoying and painstaking as crawling around on the floor lol
Have a chat with Mike at Britannica Restorations, he uses one in his shop. kzhead.info
