another suggestion: don't start too early in the morning or run late
into the evening, so that if a bit of noise escapes your shop, it won't
seem quite so bothersome to your neighbors than if you disturbed them
outside of "business" hours.


I occaisionally ask if my woodworking is bothering the neighbors, and
consistently, I've been told that it doesn't.

Having a neighbor with a Harley Davidson or two must make my machines seem
quiet in comparison. (And he's a really good neighbor!)

Yes, I also have a neighbor (a good neighbor too) with a Harley, and ironically
after first posting this has left his Harley idling in the driveway for 5-10
minutes at 6:00AM and rides it around the nieghborhood streets. I wait till
after 10:00AM to run the planer on the weekends.
