I would take a look at one of the window units that has A/C and heat pump. I purchased one several years ago for a 18x22 ft insulated shop for $800 ish. Inexpensive, efficient, easy to install and...

I don't really understand what you mean by "rolling the wye outlet about 45 deg. downward and connect the drop with an adjustable 90 deg. ell, essentially making it a rolling 45 deg. transition". My...

How about the Jet 14" JWBS14-SFX. How does that compare? That is the saw I have been looking at.

If you are a single man shop running one (or maybe two) machines at a time a 5" main will be just fine. Verticals should be no larger than the machine port typically 4".

I have kept glue for many, many years and it never went bad. I had a very old Elmers not long ago that I tested and it was fine. If kept at a good temperature I think it will last indefinitely IMO.

If it looks ok I would test it on some scrap. If edge glued and the wood fails first it's probably good. From Titebond FAQ page.
