    Interesting video, but I would hesitate to recommend the method that he used for drying the lumber. Typically covering a stack of freshly sawn lumber with a tarp is a good way to encourage mold growth - even with the fan.

    And like someone pointed out in the video comment section... Using 2 and 3 inch drywall screws is a no no... they snap too easily... epoxy deck screws would be my first choice...

    Other than that I enjoyed the video and his other videos too. I also have a old green Dewalt Single Phase RAS. His is a old High School Shop unit in the video is 3 phase. That was the first time I have seen a Digital Phase Converter... good to know....
