Workshop In An Alternate Homepower Environment

Home use tends to be relatively high energy but low power, while shop use tends to be high power but low energy. So adding shop power usually means increasing charging sources and batteries a little, but making the inverters substantially larger.

Sho Vac Air Cleaner Any good?

I have a small basment shop, about 15 X 12. And I really need and air filter. I was wondering if anyone has ever used the little Shop Vac Air Cleaner that woodcrafters sells? Would it be enough? It's like the small protable canester cleaner that Craftsmen used to make.

Looking for a good source for replacement motors

A very good friend of mine has a machine shop and makes collectable knives for a living. He eats motors. I was surprised when he told me that he used to shop around and did the Grainger thing but now he only goes to Grizzly. Apparently they have a line of replacement motors.

DIY small wood window

Oh, if I had serious $, I'd probably get a shop to do 'em for me, too. I got some wood and plexiglas layin' around in the basement. The shop can likely do 'em quicker and better, but not cheaper. I'll likely take your advice on this ... The old sash is crumbling. And it was made ...

OT a bit - Propane prices

I actually have two tanks, 1 - 500 gallon for the house and 1 - 250 gallon for the shop. Fortunately in the winter I am not in the shop that often thus the thermostat is normally set on 48 degrees F. In short, the shop does not use much LP.

Need Glue-Up Advice

"Casper" wrote Reminds me of my first shop as an adult. I was living in a rental house. The landlord had all his junk stored in our basement and we couldn't set up our shop. And we had some paying jobs that needed that space. The landlord's wife liked me.
