And some pictures from the build. It seems I never remember to take enough in-progress pictures.

I finished up the assembly of my flip top planer/stander stand today. I incorporated many details from builds I found on this site. Construction is an oak plywood base with oak trim to hide the...

One of my more recent metalworking projects. Also wanted to say I wouldn't have been able to accomplish anything close to the level of that table if it hadn't been for this site. Countless hours...

Thanks everyone. I stumbled back on this thread by accident and saw it had a bunch of replies. I guess I need to look at my subscription settings.

I've been working on a matching bench. I also...

My wife wanted a holder for our dog's water bowl. Made from scrap oak I had lying around. Also an excuse to try out my new Domino.

Thanks Jim, and thanks for all your advice in my other thread getting my shop setup.

I thought I'd put up a few pictures of my first woodworking project. It's a dining room table. The top is quartersawn red oak, approximately 1 1/2 thick. I cheated a little on the base, starting...

Thanks.

A few more pictures from today.

Some pictures from today's progress. Dust collector in place, with the duct run from the garage into the basement.

Sawstop arrived and setup in the basement. Haven't checked any of the...

Picture of the airline tee.

Made a little progress last night. Got the last of the airline run. It tees off the large compressor in the garage, and runs through the crawl space into the basement. Should be nice, as I won't...

The space is ~ 30 x 24, but the ceilings are only a little over 7'

I've been going back and forth on the lighting for the shop.

Current thoughts are four strips of 2 bulb florescent fixtures mounted flush to the ceiling. They would run in line with the HVAC...

The rental was $225, and it took about 5 minutes to actually do the drilling. There was probably another 45 minutes in measuring and setup. After drilling, there was an hour of cleanup to remove...

Rented a core drill today and drilled the access hole from the garage to the basement.

Delivery day.

Received a notification today that 12 packages will be arriving Wednesday from Oneida. Total weight: 543 lbs.

Did some more cleanup this afternoon, preparing for the arrival of the dust collector. After I was done, I snapped a few pictures of the current state of the shop.

Still needs another couple...

Here's a picture of the design Oneida sent me. Materials list comes to about $1000.00

3HP Super Dust Gorilla is now on order. Cleaned out the garage wall to make some room and have identified a rental source for an 8" core drill rig.
Plan to spend some time this weekend cleaning out...

Always nice to have room to grow.



There's no HVAC duct in the workshop, it's just through ducting. I'll probably do the majority of finishing in my garage, which because of my autowork, is...

I've attached an updated picture of the shop layout, that shows a rough approximation of the crawl space and possible garage location for the dust collector. I verified there's enough height in the...

Called Oneida, and their first suggestion was a 5HP Super Dust Gorilla. They were concerned that a 3HP might not be sufficient given the run length and number of corners that might be required. ...

Point taken. :)

On your comment regarding the use of 8" before the first branch fitting, does this limit me to using metal ducting? I don't think I've seen 8" PVC sewer pipe, and Sch40 would be...

Thanks.

I did have one on my list. I'll also probably add an exhaust fan to the existing egress window in case I need additional ventilation. I can use the conditioned crawl space adjacent for...
