Building a New Wood Shop #4: Concrete Forms Removed

Your shop is really coming along nicely. Thanks for the update.

-- My favorite piece is my last one, my best piece is my next one.

Looking good.

That AC/heat unit comes with a not so good filter. If you want to make it last, get a good filter and stick it to the face of the unit. That’s what I do and you would be amazaed just how much dust it collects.

-- Gary, East TX -- The longest journey begins with a single step.

See! THAT’S why I like LumberJocks! Good Advice! I’ll be sure to add another filter to the front of the unit. Thanks! Gary! I also plan on getting an air filtration system to attach to the ceiling. That should help too. I’m going to wire it into the lighting system so when the lights are on the filter is on… Always cleaning the air when I’m working.

Hi Frank

Your shop is coming along great! I put a filter in front of my AC like GaryK suggested. I was amazed at the dust it collected from just sweeping the floor one day.

God Bless

I’m putting a 4’ high X 8’ wide window in the front wall where my workbench will go. That window will face south. On the rear wall & to the side of the double doors I’m putting a 4’ high X 2-1/2’ wide window. I’ll probably put my carving bench & drafting table by this window.

Sweeping the floor of a new shop will be nice… for a while. And speaking of sweeping the floor… has anyone used one of those floor sweep adapters for your dust collector? How well do they work?

I got a real deal on some interior lighting. I’ll wait ‘til I have some photos to post before telling about that…

One of my hobbies is photography so more photos are to come.

WOW! Talk about FAST! I got online Sunday (yesterday) & used the tracking # for Old Dominion Freight Lines just to check on the progress of the shipping of my heat pump. I found to my suprise that it was already at the warehouse in St.Louis…. from ORDERING it from Austin, Texas on Thursday night to being delivered to St.Louis by TRUCK in LESS than 2 work days. Old Dominion does a great job! I picked it up myself at the warehouse today.

Wow. thats exciting!

Yes, Good Service is so out of the ordinary these days it makes service like I got from Old Dominion & the seller very exciting. It seems that when other businesses offer free shipping they run out to the airplane, that the item was originally scheduled to be shipped on, take it off the plane & put it on Jed Clampett’s old rattle trap. That’s the kind of free shipping most sellers seem to be thinking their customers deserve. It really was a very pleasant suprise to get that good of service…..... or… Was I just lucky?
