i think that the shop is cleaned before the filming crew arived

I know of a fellow in Connecticut who has a shop that is VERY similar looking to this one. He, too, builds boats and his shop is in immaculate condition as well. Only downside is his is surrounded by trees and land, not a waterside view.

Nothing looks used .. I also can't believe the complete absence of hand power tools.

Where is the dust collection system?  I know it has to be there, but there are no exposed ducts anywhere!

I think he just rolls the tools outside and uses them with or without dust collection. My shop doesn’t look nice like his but thats what I have to do with all my large tools. I do connect dust collection to the tools outside. Only thing I can think of is that some of those beams have dust hoses hidden in them. I saw a blue pneumatic hose behind a tool on the wall so there could be a huge air compressor and dust collector hidden somewhere. 

...
totally awesome in my opinion, i feel embarrassed that my garage has a concrete floor now...

I painted ours with 2-pac in blue, but other colours work well too...


If I showed my space people would comment that it was a sty, and I read that his is too clean.
It is a nice space, and his boats are nice.
I would squat there if I could, and if I could afford to.

FYI, I was leafing through my new issue of Fine Woodworking Tools & Shops Edition, Winter 2017 and starting on page 28 there is a nice article on his tool chest with more pictures and some drawings.

ooh, sounds cool. not sure they sell that in the uk, however will keep my eyes peeled. it's certainly a fine toolbox and worthy of a peek. i presume he jointed by hand?

@bump He said this is the second one he built and the first was out of solid wood and mahogany plywood panels.  In one of the pictures you can see the dovetails and they look machine made.
