    Details?
    I'd say a hour drive is worth it if it's a good shop.

    Dust separator size?

    I just bought the Woodcraft 4" dust separator, and wonder how large the collection can/box needs to be. I checked Phil Thien's site, too - don't see this addressed.

    I set up the lid with a 30 gal....

    I started using it about 6 months ago, and am very happy with the results. Seems to hold up well. Have also used a mixture of 1/3 FeednWax, 1/3 BLO, and 1/3 varnish that I like.

    I used to use a lot of white pine on hollow-body decoys. Works quite well if it is good clear pine that's truly dry. But I always bought from a local sawmill. Once they knew what I was looking for it...

    The main thing I find necessary is to cut the first coat at least a bit with mineral spirits.
    I would not heat it!

    Just old-fashioned single pane.
    Mostly worried about the bottom rail and the outside sill, where the heaviest water flow is.

    I'm making sash windows out of old-growth cypress, and wonder about the best finish for those, and for the sills. I'm in N. Florida - extreme heat and humidity.

    Very happy with it, but also sounds like the dust collection on the new 1023 series is a big improvement.

    Cypress is resistant to weather/rot, many say the same about cedar.

    I've seen some beautiful Western Red Cedar.
    I use cypress a lot, but I think either would look great.
