Thread: The new Man-Cave

Robert, time to get some dust and dirt in that place. Then we'll call it a Man-Cave Workshop . Good to see it organized. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, guys. I wanted to take pictures now because it'll most likely never look that nice again, LOL. Experience as a teacher, I did a few things that should make it a lot easier to maintain than the last workshop space and that included a strip door on the machine and grinding room to minimize dust and debris migration to the rest of the shop and, ultimately, the house.

You should have seen my shop before I moved. Let me just say that sorting out everything for the move was pure hell. A really dirty, grimy, dusty hell.

I hope to see you in the new shop when you get a chance. I think you'll like it.

Great setup. I used to have my stuff in the basement until I ground on a used chainsaw bar and the wife moved me to the garage (horrible smell lol).
I wish you continued success.

Very nice space

My only concern would be that grinder next to the fuel oil tank. In my old place the entire place would stink on days I got it refilled.

Now have a vision of what my kitchen table is growing into.

What kind of air circulation do you have in place? Is it local recirculation over a dust filter, or do you draw in outside air?

That room has three large windows in it, so I draw in outside air. It gets great air circulation for now and when winter sets in, I expect to have a dust collection system since it won't be such a good idea to blow in large volumes of outside air when it's below freezing.

I wish I knew. USCIS has to get their act together and get the K1 petition off to Ireland so we can get this sorted out. I'm really missing my little scrimshander.
