dust collection positioning question

I realize it's probably better to have the dust collector at one end of the shop, and then go around the room. All the designs I see start out larger diameter and get smaller toward the end. My shop isn't big -- it's 16x27 or thereabouts.

Miter bars for Table Saw??

My shop temperature in the mountains of Virginia varies by about 120 degrees from the lowest low to the highest high, as measured by the thermometer inside the shop. (Not by ambient air temps.) A lot of this is because it gets hotter than my thermometer can actually tell me in the ...

Ovens/Furnaces in the HSM/Woodworking Shop

I have an old kitchen oven in my shop for small stuff and it get stained where the smoke comes out. The smoke isn't a problem in the shop, but the shop is not attached to my house, and also not terribly well sealed, so I don't worry about it.

Mortising machine: what to buy

I'll second the shop fox recommendation. IIRC, it was the most adjustable one made when I bought mine. Also, most other brands were 1/2 hp whereas the shop fox is listed as 3/4 hp.

Considering detached metal clad workshop questions/comments

I am in the middle of a shop rewire. My concern is accidently leaving something on like a soldering iron that might cause a fire. So my shop light circuit will be connected to some heavy duty contactors basically relays, that will turn EVERYTHING but one outlet off with the lights.

Anyone who lives six miles from a supermarket is also unlikely to have access to a corner shop. Where I used to live in Wales, the second nearest shop was the supermarket five miles away. The nearest was the corner shop 200 yards away from the supermarket.

Screened in Patio using an Aluminum Frame

You can purchase the materials from a glass shop, a pool enclosure shop etc., but I wouldn't call this a DIY project. Unless of course you have some kind of experience with fabricating aluminum framing.

OT? *BIG* Woodworking Project

Indiana is an "Agency Shop" state. The difference between a "Union" shop and an "Agency" shop is that in the latter, an employee need not actually join the union but must, nevertheless, contribute dues and initiation fees as if he were a union member. I regret the error.

OT carburetor question

Back in the early 70's I worked for an electrical supply company that also had a motor rewinding shop. In the shop was a hot trichloroethylene vapor tank that was used to clean parts.
