Early Access Video: Is my shop still okay?
Added 2022-07-23 11:00:04 +0000 UTCFriends:
I'm still a bit sick and was only able to work a few half-days this week. Apparently, some people are taking a month to recover fully.
Nevertheless, I did finally get into the shop again....after two full weeks of not setting foot in there. I admit, I was worried. Did the roof leak? Did anyone break in? Are my tools okay?
Seemed like the best thing to do was grab a camera and take you all with me as I walked in for the first time. What did I find? You'll have to watch.
Happy Saturday!

A video on building these panels would be great. I'd like to put one or two in our open-plan living space. It's just too big not to have something like that!

2022-07-28 20:14:30 +0000 UTCI am also recovering from Covid. Had it last week. Nice to see you are getting better. Thanks for the updated video. Do not worry you will get the place organized.

2022-07-27 23:45:43 +0000 UTCGlad to see you are getting better. I must say I like the behind the scenes vids. Thank you
Shane Thomas
2022-07-27 05:49:37 +0000 UTCMan, I'm so glad to hear that! What I do is basically entertainment, so we're really in the same game.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:51:33 +0000 UTCThen I'd have to go to the post office and that would take time away from making videos and stuff!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:51:02 +0000 UTCI don't think it's changed my life....but we're not out of the woods yet.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:50:31 +0000 UTCAnd a real job?
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:50:12 +0000 UTCHow kind of you to say so!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:49:48 +0000 UTCYou all really are patient. It's appreciated.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:49:33 +0000 UTCIt's 20x50ish. I've kind of set it up in a bullseye shape. The more I use something, the closer it is to the bench. The less I use it, it's further away. I'm also not storing anything in the main workspace. Those are the key points.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:49:05 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:46:26 +0000 UTCI really appreciate that.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:46:21 +0000 UTCI'm very much hoping I don't relapse. Taking a bit of a day "off" today.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:46:06 +0000 UTCIt's a great comfort to me to know that you'll all still be here.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:45:49 +0000 UTCBuilt the shelving yesterday. We're getting there!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:34:42 +0000 UTCI plan on doing a very detailed video on storage and organization!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:34:28 +0000 UTCThere's a lot of slow breathing over here!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:34:08 +0000 UTCProbably not, but fixing the problem is no mystery. I need to build and install absorption panels. All the stuff is on the way. Just another project....
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:33:56 +0000 UTCI'm an overachiever for sure. It's been hard. You're totally right about that.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:33:00 +0000 UTCAnd to you! Thanks so much!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:32:02 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:31:51 +0000 UTCMan, I should buy stock in Gatorade!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:31:45 +0000 UTCSix months?!? Cardio rehab?!? Holy cats! That's insane and really gives me pause. Thank you for sharing. Please take care of yourself!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:31:26 +0000 UTCI wish I could do a big project, but it's not happening any time soon!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:24:44 +0000 UTCYou'll be happy to know that I worked yesterday, but I'm taking today mostly "off" (still doing computer stuff.) It's a slow road.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:24:15 +0000 UTCI appreciate that so much! Thanks for the offer. I'm making panels next week (if the stuff actually gets here). We'll see how it sounds once I've treated it to the best of my ability.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:23:22 +0000 UTCAnd to you! Thank you.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:22:18 +0000 UTCI agree totally. Thank you.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:22:08 +0000 UTCIt was neither mild nor kind!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:21:55 +0000 UTCThank you!
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:21:35 +0000 UTCI'm glad you enjoyed it! Having this space is helping me feel more creative.
Rex Krueger
2022-07-26 14:20:36 +0000 UTCGlad you are back and feeling better. Thanks for the behind the scene footage, I love the behind the scene footage. I work behind the scenes in live entertainment and believe it or not, your YouTube channel is one of the things that helped me get through covid and back to work. Thank for that.
Brendan Langord
2022-07-26 01:05:38 +0000 UTCyou should get a PO box for people to send you stuff Rex.
David Hamilton
2022-07-25 20:10:20 +0000 UTCGlad that you're on the mend, Rex. COVID can be truly horrible; changed my life. The video was fun to watch. Thanks!

2022-07-24 19:01:12 +0000 UTCI am glad you are feeling better. Nice to see your smiling face.
Skully Wood and Metal
2022-07-24 02:50:12 +0000 UTCSo glad everything is in great condition and still there Rex. Don't sweat the time it takes to recover from this COVID bout. Take all of the time necessary to get back to full function. I'd rather wait a month than have you try to put a video out and end up even sicker or worse. Don't forget, we are a patient lot or we wouldn't be doing woodworking with hand tools. Take care, stay hydrated and get all the rest you need.
Matt Evans-Koch
2022-07-24 02:02:42 +0000 UTCGreat to see your healing. I love the tour Rex, whatโs the size of the main work area? And what is the thought pattern to placement of your main tools? Iโm struggling to use my 22โx22โ garage any suggestions will help. Canโt wait for your next video.

2022-07-23 20:27:06 +0000 UTCWelcome back!
Robert A Carbo
2022-07-23 20:18:26 +0000 UTCTake care of your self, we're fine with you taking it easy for a while.
Edward Conway
2022-07-23 18:34:41 +0000 UTCJust take care of yourself- covid is hard to recover from and relapses are the worst!
JJ Hoffman
2022-07-23 18:07:30 +0000 UTCglad your getting better, please take your time, do not hurry back we will still be here.
Darren Malin
2022-07-23 17:47:20 +0000 UTCHealth first. Then shelving.
Andrew Watt
2022-07-23 17:31:04 +0000 UTCWood and tool storage solutions you implement would be great videos, if you're short on ideas. But health first. Cheers
John Morrison
2022-07-23 16:10:53 +0000 UTCkeep eating that elephant! Love the behind the scenes stuff. Take the whole covid thing slowly, keep breathing.
William Allen
2022-07-23 15:43:10 +0000 UTCWould a noise canceling microphone help with the echoes?
Daniel L. Quigg
2022-07-23 15:29:17 +0000 UTCAn overachiever like yourself must be going a little nuts watching the backlog build up. Relax, take some time with your daughter. That is sheโll let you.

2022-07-23 15:24:37 +0000 UTCRex, I am glad you are back and wish you well for your health and continued success in woodwork for humans. Best wishes

Kenneth Murphy
2022-07-23 14:29:55 +0000 UTCFirst instinct is to start the comparison to what each of us has gone thru... Then to offer up free advice... But, after it taking me over 6 months to get back to maybe 50%....I am hesitant to offer any advice that would bring the same results to anyone. But, then I am still alive... So, anywayhow....I got a lot of recommendations from laymen to rest, I got a lot of forceful commands from medical pros to work my way out of this.... I am finally in cardiac/pulmonary rehab and doing what has seemed to be the most beneficial....just pushing against the new limitations, and stretching the envelope...working in the direction of where I have been before. Prayers for clarity and direction.
Craig Thibodeaux
2022-07-23 13:45:39 +0000 UTCGreat to see you back in the saddle and that your shop is intact. As others have said, get better and ease back into stuff. Plan all you want but easy on the Rambo projects.
Sean McGown
2022-07-23 13:07:58 +0000 UTCI like everyone else is glad to see you back but please heed the advice freely given.Take your time to get fully and completely over it. It can hang around like a bad smell, my first Dose of Covid-19 knocked me off my feet for 14 days and took months to get back to something like normal. Just take care and when you start to feel tired, REST. It really is the best medicine.
cliff whitefoot
2022-07-23 12:26:04 +0000 UTCIโm glad that youโre feeling better and that you have found someone to help you with echo mitigation. If you would like another consultant on sound I have been mixing live bands in a large variety of venues for 42 years and would be more than happy to offer what I have learned.

Jamie MacDonald
2022-07-23 11:39:33 +0000 UTCThe the milder, kinder Covid sucks! I'll have to catch the video when I'm off the clock but wanted to drop a quick 'get well soon'. Take it easy Rex.
Greg Preston
2022-07-23 11:36:54 +0000 UTCTake your time and don't rush your recovery. Hope you feel better soon.
WoodworkLearner
2022-07-23 11:24:21 +0000 UTCGood to hear that you're getting back on your feet, Rex My brush with the Covid-19 back in March 2020 left me feeling the long-effects of it all the way to early this year. But seeing your workshop coming along is one of the better cures for most things.
