David, I think you are downplaying what you achieved there...

I'm a big fan of adjustable height work surfaces, so if you can accommodate it reasonably in your space, "that would be a yes for me".

I like the overall design of that piece...it highlights the function and accommodates the very safe "wall mount" method for the display itself. Bravo!

As noted, it depends on the day and what project(s) are on the table, pardon the expression.

Exciting times, Bob!!!

The building, etc., is covered under our very comprehensive homeowners insurance. They are fine with an incidental small craft business. That may not...

Steve, this is indeed a good discussion and as you note, the same thing applies to all kinds of investment decisions.

It can be frustrating to deal with delays in having your "laire" setup for play, but it's also good to look at it from the other direction: You're...

Some days it runs nearly 8 hours if I have a lot of CNC work. Some days it doesn't run at all. If I'm using a machine that requires collection, the...

I do not think it's nuts in any way, shape or form to do things legally. But there certainly is a cost involved. And LLC or S-Corp is also necessary...

Devices like that monitoring thing have been replaced by stuff like separate off-peak meters for certain devices. The home we are in process of...

So for me, that "financial balance" would emphasize the question about "what could I do by owning and fully controlling the machine's availability to...

What Andrew said...it can be very useful for both heavier hand-held work as well as a great, low cost solution for a secondary router table setup...

There's no one way that's best for sure. I LOVE my holdfasts and use them a lot. In fact, they are the reason my bench top has three rows of .75"...

I like big compressors...I cannot lie. :) I'd not want anything less than the 3hp 60 gallon IR I have in my shop, honestly.

Kinda a math problem, Steve...is your rental cost any way approaching your projected amortized investment cost in the machine plus the ongoing...

It's still a business, Dave...some may be more informal about it, but this forum area is not going to be limited to any one small group. That's not...

Tom, there are many of us who take commissions but don't earn our living from woodworking. The business concerns are the same outside of scale.

Nope...only about 6 miles "as the crow flies" and the 'Creek is in the same place. My shop moves, too...I'll just have a smaller space for a bit...

Sale pending receipt of deposit.

I was very glad to see your comments this morning that you were taken care of...it's good you now have a keypad that's working correctly. You may...
