Lots of good advice here. I've moved a bunch, so I have built/furnished 6 shops over the years, so I have thought about this a few times. I can add my 2 cents: If I were starting out from scratch,...

My local Lowe's and HD carries 5" pipe- and even some 90 deg elbows. But they didn't have any wyes, or have the ability to order online. This is very helpful- I didn't even think to check with ebay....
OP, I think I have a similar question- This is my setup (DC is the Grizzly G1030): https://sawmillcreek.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=515282&d=1707483934
As I am trying figure out the...

Thanks for all the advice. I sort of tabled the remote issue for now- I spent the last few days in my spare time mapping my ducting and figuring out pipes and fittings. I'll figure out the remote...
Thanks. I actually tried that first. I think I wired it up correctly, but the VFD malfunctioned and I had to send it back for a replacement. It got stuck in programming mode and wouldn't "run". Might...
Hi everyone. I'm working on upgrading my dust collector and have recently restored a Grizzly 4-bag 3hp unit. It's 3-phase and I got it running with a VFD to use 220v power. My garage is partitioned...
You might want to check with your insurance company. I got my watch as a health benefit through United Healthcare- they sent me the watch and I "paid it back" by tracking my steps and reaching...
I've been using a Apple series 6 for about 3 years. I resisted getting one for a long time, but now it is something I wouldn't want to be without. I have other watches, but never think about wearing...
I watched most of the video yesterday- The patent attorney that he interviewed said that at best case, this couldn't be implemented for at least three years. Not sure of how long the patents will...
I think my problem with the VFD and my Crouch sander is that I wired the switch between the VFD and the sander, which is incorrect. I probably should go back and fix it, though it isn't a big problem...
Hi everyone. I was hoping to ask this group for some help with a restoration of an old dust collector. I have a late 80s Grizzly Dust Collector (G1030) that has a 3HP, 3 phase motor, not original,...
I got a Shark HD510 CNC from an estate sale a few months ago and have managed to make a few things. With every project, I learn something new and get a little bit better. Thanks to Jim Becker to...
If you don't mind a drive to northeastern NC, I can tell you about a smoking deal on a SuperMax 19-38. I almost bought it, but I had already spent too much (CNC machine, lift table, drill press,...
I like the suggestion of a whiteboard, assuming it is in a location that would be convenient to write on. But, it sounds like that isn't the case here. I use a large portable 4' x 6' white board in...
yeah, they're much easier to deal with online or through their app. I travel quite a bit with the M chain (lifetime Titanium) and when I need to speak with a live human, I don't bother with the 800...
A few updates: Vectric requires the previous owner of the license to approve the transfer, which is impossible since he is deceased. But the good news is that I found a printout of his license...
If I had to pick outside of my family, when I was getting started 25 years ago, especially when I was focusing on Federal Furniture, I picked up a lot of tips and techniques from:
Rob Millard,...

I have to travel for work this week, but when I return, I was planning to get started with a simple house number to hang on my front porch. Then maybe I'll try a few simple signs. I'm not sure...
Hey! I just took the leap and got a CNC this weekend. As part of an estate sale, I got a great deal on a Shark HD510, with a ton accessories. I need to learn the basics of how to get started, but...
the simplest way is to use Chromecast and use your laptop or phone to stream whatever you want without complication. If it has Chromecast built in, then it is super easy. Otherwise, you'll need to...
In my job in sales and marketing, I use ChatGPT quite a bit- one of the most useful functions for me is to help me write emails or marketing messaging. I plug in the main concept and what I'm trying...
if you have enough wood that you can spare that section, I'd cut it off. But, if you don't have that flexibility, try to put it in a place that you won't see it. If you decide to fill it, think...
Overall, my Apple Watch has been pretty durable. I've had it over two years and it has withstood a lot of abuse. The only two times I can recall getting any scratches in the face were- 1. when I left...
