Dust Collector & Sander OK Together?

Maybe not, my Festool shop vac with 11' hose is about 1" in diameter. If that hose was attached to my DC it may not be as effective.

Lighting my new shop

I outfitted my shop with 4 bulb fixtures (15 of them to be exact on 2 circuits), painted my walls white and have excellent lighting in every corner of my shop. Well worth it in my opinion.

Caring for cast iron in a humid climate

My current shop is in Houston and none of my tools have ever rusted. I attribute it to no air conditioning, heat, or insulation in the shop, TopCote periodically applied to machined surfaces, and keeping a fan running on low 24/7.

Charities - are they allowed to do this?

What gauge wire?

Last year I built a shop powered by generator through an Inverter. The inverter supplys power through a 200 amp power panel to circuits in the shop. I am now building a house about 40 feet from the shop. What gauge wire would I need to use?

Cable TV signal drop

I would like to hook cable to a TV that I have in a hobby wood working shop in my back yard. The shop is aproximatly 120 feet from the nearest available cable splice. Can I just bury Coaxial cable from the house to the shop...or will I lose the signal from running so far?
