Well, after posting the above post I can't see my photos for some reason. Maybe someone can fix that for me. But regardless, I do enjoy pine and find it excellent as is or embellished.

I enjoy turning pine. The ponderosa pine I've been turning has little to no pitch, cuts beautifully with no tear out with sharp tools. Easy to find since no one else wants it around here.

Brian,

I have had the Kobalt Quiet Compressor from Lowe's for two years now. Its very quiet and has been trouble free for the time I've had it. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again. Runs $199....

I purchased a Dewalt cordless drill and driver set two years ago and have had nothing but problems with the drill (both used in a home/hobby environment). I finally sold the set and replaced it with...

I also have the Rubber Chucky seals and they work fine for me as well. No more marks from the black hold fast seals and no marring from the chuck itself. I believe I read somewhere that the rubber...

I don't have any experience with the Husky compressor you linked to but it appears similar to the Kobalt Quiet compressor I purchased last year. Its very quiet (rated at 60 dBA), takes up very little...

I use this one and have had it for three years or so. No issues with it whatsoever. Easy one handed operation.

Bob,

I'm sorry I didn't see your message until just now. For the walls I used 1" foam board insulation. I had to cut it down to fit between the studs. I have the foil side facing towards the...

Bob,

I have a 12x16 shed that I converted to my shop here in Eastern Washington. The first winter I did not insulate the shop, I learned my lesson. The following summer I insulted by placing 1"...

After turning on numerous Powermatic 3520B lathes for a year I purchased a brand new Powermatic 3520c. Unfortunately it took four and a half months and four lathes to get one that worked. In my...

I too have a 12' x 16' shop. I have this heater and it is more than enough to keep the shop toasty warm. I believe the dial on the back goes from 1 to 9 and I usually keep it right at 1.5. I have...

The delivery truck showed up yesterday at 9am, by 5pm I was done with the floor. The 1" xps insulation was very easy to cut, snap and glue into place. The plywood wasn't quite as easy to work with....

I actually have one of those animal heat pads at my desk (embellishing station) and it works great. I could put them where I stand the most but I felt an insulated floor would help the best....

Thank you all for your input and advice.

I changed my order and replaced the osb with tongue and groove plywood. And instead of going with laminate flooring I decided to get a gallon of oil based...

Thank you Eugene. Do you think that I would have the same issues if I used plywood instead of OSB? Where the legs of the AB are placed instead of having the 1" insulation under the plywood if I were...

So I did some calculations. My shop is 196 square feet. With the OSB tongue and groove subfloor panels and inexpensive laminate flooring on top it would cost about $320.

If I go with tongue and...

I had thought about 2" insulation but then I would lose almost 3" of headroom. I'm only willing to give up no more than 2".

My original plan was to use sleepers but from everything I had read I...

My shop is a 12x16 shed. The floor is 3/4" tongue and groove sheets over 2x6 joists at 16" on centers. In the winter the floor gets very very cold even when I leave my heater on 24/7. So today I was...

My shop is a 12x16 shed built on 2x6 joists on top of five 4x4 pressure treated skids. The walls and ceiling are very well insulated but the floor is not insulated at all. The floor four inches above...

I have the Kobalt Quiet Tech 4.3 gallon air compressor from Lowes. Its very quiet, especially compared to my previous Craftsman compressor. I use my compressor mainly for blowing sanding dust off of...

Yes, the zipper is backwards and I was told it was a down under thing. Sorry I forgot to mention that (I'm so used to it now that it slipped my mind).

Glad you like the smock.

That looks like the listed prices which, if I remember correctly, is in New Zealand dollars. At today's exchange rate the total of $33 NZD converts to about $22.56 USD.

In retrospect I wish I had ordered two, for less than twenty bucks its a great smock. Hope it meets your expectations. My opinion is that its a nice smock but that is only one opinion. I'm sure...

Don't forget to order one size larger than you normally wear. Everyone in our club that ordered one seems to be pretty happy with them, I know I am. Let us know your thoughts when you get it.

It is my understanding that the 3520c doesn't ship with a power cord, at least I was told this by the Powermatic reps a couple weeks ago.

Thank you for your write up, very well written.
