Can a laser go in a shop setting with ambient sawdust, etc. or does it need to be in a "clean room"?

So a little shovel to expose the valve head or dig out the sleeve and then the other end to turn it on or off? Probably the hole is on the shovel end so you can put a bar in there and get some added...
While we were cleaning out the furnace room in an 1924 house, came across this. Anyone know what it is?

Thanks again Tom! And by the way, he in no way has any elm that has any potential to be some of the most beautiful slabs ever seen by man and they won't be ready next year but he does have lots of...
A place here in St. Louis called Lumber Logs LLC (owned by Tom Sontag who is on here from time to time). When the tree companies take down a tree, they'll leave 20 feet or so of the trunk and Tom...
Here's an old (c1870ish) Willcox & Gibbs sewing machine base (notice the WG cast into the stand above the circle) It was painted a nasty tenement green color that I spent a while getting off with...
Thanks for all of the info! My wife is in purchasing and does RFPs and could probably get me a really good price but then she'd also know how much I spent on a laser...

All of my marquetry is cut, taped together with veneer tape and then glued to a board (usually baltic birch) with a bottle jack press or vacuum press and then set into the piece or if it's a...
Hi,
A little background - I do a mix of aquatics CAD design, marquetry, rehab work and building furniture. Due to a recent accident (that I can't give any specifics on due to pending litigation)...

What are you doing? Are the ceilings going to stay in place? If they're going to be staying in place, you could always just put another layer of 1/2" over the old ceilings and encapsulate the...
How old is it? After a while the batteries lose the will to charge (batteries are sentient creatures and will watch and decide to stop working when they know that the other battery isn't charged and...
Is it popcorn ceiling? I hear that it almost contains asbestos. Don't know how true that is but that's what I've hear from multiple sources. The joint compound may or may not. The tests are only...
Buttonboard (Rock Lath was a trade name kind of like Kleenex) was, as far as I know, always a gypsum product and I never heard of it containing asbestos. The plaster covering the board however is a...
This looks like about the same thing but 20 bucks cheaper at Home Depot ...
No, it was all knob and tube.
No, it's a 1" threaded galvanized 90 - not a waste stack. Also not a plumbing supply as that is all original copper. The line was abandoned in 1946 as there was a bunch of newspaper stuffed into...
I'm helping a guy fix his house up so he can stop being a landlord and sell the house. It originally had steam radiators (1 pipe) that were replaced with forced air probably around 1990. Pulled up...
