My last garage shop was not insulated. I used three electric pelonis type heaters early in the morning and then shut them off one at a time as it warmed up. My new shop is insulated. One pelonis heater will heat my insulated shop. cm

New Yankee Cam pictures

At one point, there are about 15 people in the shop. Who are all these people? Is the NYW now "filmed in front of a live studio audience"? Now I see why the shop is so big. If that many people were in the Woodrights shop, Roy wouldn't be able to flail around like he always ...

Web site update

Rob: Last spring when I jumped on the wrec looking for shops for inspiration your shop was instrumental in the look and feel. How could you part with that old shop? I know the view is nice, but it must have hurt to give it up. Do you have plans to build better than the old ...

Which Filter for Fein Turbo III?

It will be used almost exclusively for collecting dust from their RO sander in the shop or on site. One of the tool's suppliers gives the option of buying the 1 micron filter arrangement for the same price as the regular 5 micron filter unit.

Tools - Which to buy First?

I'd already insulated the shop, but neglected to update the info. on the site. A shop expansion is also in the works, hence the question on how to populate it. This year, the winters are going to be a little less harsh in there, because I've also improved the heating system.

Dewalt 746 Table Saw Questions

I have one but it was actually easier to sit here on my butt and look it up than go to the shop and measure it!!! It is compact, IMO, for my small shop. They do make it difficult.
