Yes, I'm Still Working on It !

Gettin’ closer everyday . . . How do you handle the waiting?

Looks like you are making good progress. What’s going over that DC pipe sticking up in the picture

Russel,
I handle the waiting by keeping busy working. Actually it is a pleasure to work on the shop since I have waited years to get one. I’m doing everything right so that I won’t have any regrets later on….it takes time but the end result will be worth it. And, soon I will be building 10 wall cabinets for storage…....

Gary,
If you’re writing about the pipe in pic #3, that is where the jointer will live. There’s a 240 outlet in the floor also. There’s another DC pipe and outlet under the table where my coat is hanging on the chair….where the planer will live.

I know where you’re comin from when you complain about the aches associated with stapleing all that insulation, but when that summer sunshine hits the barn, you’ll be grateful!

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

looks like you are really busy getting things organized the way you want them inside.
making great progress!

You are making progress.

After awhile is does seem like work doesn’t it. But the fun will come. Just think after all this is completed you will be sitting around with lots of free time on your hands wondering what to do next.

Have fun.

It’s looking really great! Keep us posted.

I love the dust collection / filtration system! I am jealous…

I noticed a clearview dust cyclone in the back, what do you think of it?

Shop is looking great. I’m glad you are having fun spending money, making things right – the first time.

We just have to keep waiting for the curtains and dust ruffles!

hisparadox,
Re: Clearvue…..so far I’m really impressed with the Clear Vue, however, I only have it hooked up to my TS and miter saw. I did run a “test” where I opened five 6” ports and turned on the collector. Using my hand I felt for suction in one of the ports. To my amazement, I could feel a rather strong pull, even with all those ports opened. I’ll write a review once I have the shop up and running, but I think it is going to be quite positive. Incidentally, I was very concerned with the db level, expecting it to be unacceptable. That was another surprise….....the noise level is much lower than I expected which may have something to do with my S&D ducting which is under the slab. Stay tuned….......
