Winter Man-Cave Upgrades??
 

Got any work planned on your Man-Cave this winter??? I am finally going to install my wood stove!!! I can't wait! Be nice to have some nice quiet radiant heat when I am working out there this winter!!

What do you have planned?

Man cave? HA!

I'm making more room for my wife's overstock.

Just cleaning mine and putting everything back where it belongs would be a major upgrade.

Damm busy fishing season, what a mess!:smash:

Finishing the Dust collection ducting and possibly build an air filter to cut the dust down,,,, still working on trying to find the axial fans for short money

I guess I could start with cleaning up sawdust from last may.

I too also have to finish setting up my dust collector. I just get carried away with other stuff when I'm in the shop.

eastendlu was getting them on ebay real cheap, he posted the model name somewhere before.

I been looking,,, just have to wait for the right volt/cfm ones come around,,, thanks for the heads up,,,,

I'll be happy if I clean it.

yup i have been cleaning for 2 weeks now. trying my best to throw some cluttering stuff out.

Thanks Paul,
I will take all your lures :rotf2:

I bought a Delta dust collector and had to build a thing a ma jig to hook it on to the lathe. It works great and I don't sneeze half as much anymore.

I rented a 30 yd dumpster, throwing everything out but the tools and the furnace. 30 years of it might be good someday...

Given the economy, and last winter, I just want to make sure it's a money maker this year... if it is able to provide some enjoyment from making plugs and rods, that will be a bonus. Outdoor work is starting to wind down. Going to finish up a small deck and news stairs at the Shocker's house tomorrow. Looking at a bathroom and a kitchen to take me to year end. Then I have a shot at five baths and a kitchen in a single residence for the winter...

I have plans to finally move my plug building down to the basement so I can clear up some space in the shop for work not play. not sure if it will get done but I am hopeful

:biglaugh::biglaugh::rotf2:

I allready added a remote control to my dust collector and added another lathe .... wish I had added the remote years ago.. The lathe is a used( very, very little use) 1975 Craftsman 12" swing mono tube, I have set up for drilling and prototype work.. it came with a large cabinate and a set of knives, couldnt go wrong for $100.. I've ordered a 1000 CFM cyclone dust collector to upgrage the 850 unit I have now... but I wont install it until the spring, I've got to change all the present 4" duct work to 6" to make it right..
