Thanks!! Just found it on their website, don't think I would have looked there, I appreciate your response.

Hello to all ... I was at a tool sale over the weekend, I saw the vice shown in the attached photos, priced at $25, and figured what the heck it had to be worth that or more.

Does anyone recognize...

Hello Jim ... I suspect you are correct about latex paint raising the chips. I've been thinking I would use oil based "Kilz Complete" with top coat of a latex semi-gloss paint. The OSB at Home...

Hello Jamie, Bill ... good luck to both of you with your new shops! I'm going through the same process right now; the shell of my shop building is complete and I'm currently doing some of the rough...

Hello Steven ... I think the wood floor is the right choice as long as it's built well. I had the contractor use a double layer of 5/8" ply and my floor is really solid, doesn't flex. What I'm not...

Hello to all ... this is an update to my original "new woodshop" posting. I received lots of comments, all good stuff, thanks to all for your time!

Many comments were directed at my plans to...

Hello Peter ... thanks for the compliment! I'm pleased the perception is a good looking shop, but has nothing to do with rules. At the start of this we agreed we would do what we could to make a good...

Hello Robert ... thanks for your comments.

Yes, so far it does seem there is nice day light. Construction of the shell was completed last week, so I don't have much experience. The wall with the...

Hello Don ... thanks for your advice. I agree a 'real' wood floor would be great, but I doubt the budget can support it.

I originally thought I might use a middle tone stain with a couple coats...

Kevin ... I agree with Glenn, you're probably in the 5-micron range with a typical cloth type bag. Lots of talk these days that 5 micron and smaller dust is really bad. Fact is, you breathe that...

Hello everyone … I’m fairly new to Sawmill Creek, I’ve been reading posts for a while, but have not created any posts until now. Earlier this year I retired and I’m now building a standalone...
