Mreza, you're right about having to cover the foam in a dwelling but because of the classification of my building it is not required. Although my wife would tell you I live in my shop that's not...
Been working on installing the heating system in the shop lately. I have an IBC SL-20-115 condensing boiler with a primary pump loop and 2 pumps to circulate 2 separate zones, the shop and garage....
No, the foam has a fire retardant built in. I tested it with a torch on a small sample and it would only smolder while the flame was held up to it. As soon as the flame was removed it went out...
Well I haven't posted any updates for a while do to trying to get the work done and move at the same time. I forgot to take pictures of the inside before moving all my tools and household goods. The...
Frank I used the same bolts that were supplied by the building manufacturer. They have a rubber washer on the head that seals the hole when tightened....
Well it took a couple days longer than originally expected for the foam guys to come but they arrived yesterday morning. I spent part of the weekend preparing for them by masking and polying the...
I decided to run 12 gauge wire to all outlets to allow for 20amp plugins. The shop lighting is all LED but the garage will have T8 fluorescents. Because there is no way to conceal the wiring on the...
Jim, Yes the metal part of the building will be spray foamed with 3" BASF Walltite. The guy is coming this Thur.
Mike, There is 2.5" of styrofoam insulation under the slab. This is the 1/2" Pex...

With the end walls framed and sheeted it was time to focus on the partition wall that would separate the shop from the garage. I again chose 2x6s because this wall would also support a...
I normally spend time over on the spinny folks forum but thought I would share my adventure. Earlier this spring I started building a new shop while a local builder built our house on the 2.4 acres...
This is what I use

I had a similar issue with my Oneway. It turned out to be a broken or poorly soldered connection on one of the capacitors. I found it by removing the cover and tapping the case. that caused a small...
That's one fine looking mill, love the wood. What's the size?
The "Crush Grind" mechanisms are a much better option for a salt mill. Thier mechanism have a lifetime warranty. I have been using them for about 8 years now and they still work great still.
Great looking pieces Robert, I'm sure you will do well again this year. Good luck.
Dave the whole thing is made of metal, there is a piece of angle iron on each end. One is mounted the the drilled and tapped holes that Oneway has standard on the main tube of their lathes, the other...
I made it, it's very simple. Just pipe, round bar, flat bar and 2 pieces of angle iron.
here are are a couple pics of my setup
I have a Oenway that has predrilled and tapped holes on the back side of the ways. This allowed me to mount my hose with small scoop to a " hollowing snake" type of arrangement that can easily be...
You nailed it this time, much better now.
I have the 16" on a 16" lathe and it works great. For a 18" lathe I suspect all you would have to do is put 1" thick metal shims between the ways and the bolt down plates of the easycore. This...
If you have plenty of wood I wouldn't worry about using this type of connection. They won't fit your tools well and the tool will move side to side in the coupling. Your better off with the...
I think Ken pretty much answered this question, everyone is different and thus what challenges every individual is different.
This is my latest effort, an urn made from Cherry,Walnut,Maple, Bloodwood, Alowood.
16" tall on stand by 6.5" diam. Finish is polymerized tung oil. Thanks for looking. c&c welcome
