I am new here and want to say hi to everyone and post a question.
Those of you in basement shops, how do you handle the dust and chip
issue? I am setting up a shop in a side room in the basement so I would
like some input . Also, do you have your sharpening equipment in there
as well or in the garage?

In my previous reply I forgot to say, "Welcome!"

As to having the sharpening setup close by... I'd say that'd be
mandatory. I hit the stones pretty frequently and if they were up the
stairs and in the garage, I'd likely push the edge way past the time it
was necessary to resharpen. Way down deep I'm pretty lazy and want to
make it as easy as possible to make turning enjoyable.

Tips fer Turnin': Pour your end-grain sealer into a clean, wide-mouth
clothes detergent bottle. The lid makes a handy dipping container for
your brush and the leftovers will drain back into the bottle when you
recap the jug.
