Randy,

My shop is in a barn also only my “crawl space” is actually a hot house for starting plants. The barn faces due south and there are windows all along the foundation with shelves on the inside for the plants. Can’t take credit for the design, it was actually built that way in 1860.

Thanks for the encouragement. I intend on haveing my dust collector in line but in another room for both quiet and dustless exhaust. I have a Delta air cleaner hung from my ceiling, so with the dust collector in another room I will have the fine dust under control. Since I have COPD I also use an Airway mask whenever I’m running anything that generates any possible dust. Cant’ get away from it but certainly can take serious precautions. All of this has allowed me to keep making sawdust and keep breathing at the same time lol.

I’m looking forward to getting rid of the hoses on the floor and more dedicated drops for the largest producers.
