Hello All,

I just discovered this group, and thought I would introduce myself.

Name is Gary, and I have been woodworking on and off for about 10
years. More on now than off.

I have just moved to a new house and just built my dream workshop and
I am just now building my workbench. My last shop was my garage and
the workbench was a solid core door with legs

I am in the process of filling out my shop with all the things I had
no room for before.

If you would like to check out my shop go to:

http://www.arealnice.com/shop

I have before and after progress pictures there.

My bench is being made from an old bowling alley lane. If I had known
how much work it was I think I would have just bought a maple slab
from McMaster Carr.

If you are interested I can go into more detail on why I don't
recommend it.

I will post more pics of projects as time goes by.

Gary
G'day Gary,
Excellent place to while away the hours.
Just one Q. Is there a reason the aircon in the office is in the window,
rather than in the wall ?? Just thought that as you were building ya
could have knocked a hole in to suit.
Just a hint of a green eye here

regards
John

I also had this concern when I AC'ed my shop. But the AC contractor said if
I changed the filters often there should be no problem. Still not trusting
his judgement I made the return air intake 4 times the area he had
designated. I just built a box that is fixed to the ceiling over the intake
he installed and has 4-20"x20" filter grilles in which I place pleated
filters. When I had the AC unit serviced this spring after a year's use,
evap coil of the AC was clean. I change the filter about every two months.
With the dust remover I see in your pictures (I have none) you should be
more than fine.

Hello John,

I decided to put the window AC in because I will only be using it
during the summer, and I will take it out the rest of the year, so
that I can get a view of the lake out the window.

Also I am still considering putting AC/heat unit into the entire shop,
but I am concerned about the wood dust cloging it up over time.

This basically is a quick fix since I already had the window unit.

Gary
