0:00:00 Introduction
0:05:37 Adam finds a tiny little screw
0:06:10 You’ve talked about renovating your cave space to accommodate more tools and to give yourself more space to work. How do you balance workspace with creature comforts? I am trying to do the same in my small workspace, and finding it quite difficult.
0:09:55 I’m rewatching MythBusters and I’ve been wondering— how have Jamie’s shop infrastructure practices influenced your own? Is there anything you learned that you loved or hated from spending so much time in M5?
0:16:20 Is the reworking of your shop space going to include your loft spaces, or are those staying more or less the same?
0:19:13 What has been your favorite slow improvement project?
0:21:09 You've talked about and toured other workshops and maker spaces before. Are there any that really stand out as great work spaces to you? I know you love Tom Sachs' space but are there any others that make you feel at home? What defines a great workspace for you?
0:24:11 Do you have any opinions on utilizing the ceiling of a shop? Seems like the biggest untapped area of a room.
0:26:39 What shop infrastructure or organization idea did you have and implement that you thought was going to be a game changer but instead turned out to be a dud or more of an inconvenience than helpful?
0:28:39 How much of the packaging material that comes in do you keep for future projects and how much do you recycle?
0:29:49 Where are you in relation to what we usually see in the shop?
0:31:10 I just bought my first real shop and it is overwhelming. Do you have any recommendations on just getting it set up for the first time?
0:35:47 I plan to add machinery equipment to my small shop? How do you keep sawdust from getting into your mill and lathe in your shop. I've read its not good for sawdust to get into machinery equipment
0:37:40 Aside from expansion - the need for more of the same storage - when/how do you decide that a given storage system needs to be redesigned and take a different form?
0:39:48 Adam talks about how he quit smoking
0:41:15 I have noticed on some of your builds, you leave extra space (i.e. the nails and staples build, and the little cabinet you built with the inward facing lights.) Why is that? Also what is going to happen to the pliers rack?
0:46:10 I am not a handy person but I am a writer. How do you organize your written materials, like books? Is there an organizational system you use to keep reference material accessible and handy?
0:50:20 I recently had to fix my 77’ MGB out on the road when it overheated (shocker) and with some quick thinking a bit of copper and tin snips I got it home. I wanted to know what your best or worst “redneck” style botched fix was to a problem. We’ve all been there once or twice.
0:55:40 Do you have any suggestions for a tabletop storage system? I only have a small wooden table to work from. I have everything spread out in a first order retrieval system but I want something that goes higher and that I could possibly label.
0:58:50 How would you compare the organization in the shop vs. the organization in the kitchen? Do both have the same philosphy or are they different enough to warrat a different methodology?
1:00:58 I’m making out of my dorm room. What advice do you have for working out a small space that’s also a living space, also how do I motivate myself to clean at the end of a long day?
1:03:32 Closing (did you know that the year ends with 123123 (12/31/23)
