The David Weaver post was an inspiration for this post...
I built a dedicated wood shop about 10 years ago. At the time, I worked with mostly corded tools. I am a Forest Technician by occupation, and working wood, construction, log home building have been my secondary, off season occupations. With DUST as a LUNG concern, I plumbed the shop with a collector and filters. To go that route when you are doing woodworking as a hobby/ part time, this can be expensive (to do it right). Since my primary occupation is Forestry, I eventually decided to go dustless, old school with woodworking, Enter SMC, hand planes, chisels, auger bits and braces...
About 5 -6 years ago, I was working on "stuff", and was googling appropriate woodworking threads. Old SMC threads were always coming up (a few years before I actually joined), helping me out. Eventually, I had a problem that Google and SMC could not solve from the archives.
I joined, got some input from some VETERANS, and went on my way.
I LIKE this forum, and like that the veterans keep posting here , even if some things are redundant.
THANX
