What’s on the Bench


  • Marc pivoted from Ava’s bed to the laundry room.
  • Matt is working on a coffee table.
  • Shannon is selecting veneer for a tabletop.

Kickback


  • Von Welch tested the advice about not running an air filter until leaving the shop. His air quality meter showed the air got worse for about a minute, then quickly improved. He now runs the air filter while making dust and leaves it on a timer after he’s done.

Questions


  • Vaibhav asks how to handle smoke detectors in a garage shop when sawdust can set them off, but fire risk from lithium batteries and oily rags is still a concern.
  • Chris asks whether upgrading from HVAC ductwork to Nordfab ducting is worth it for a new shop with a 3HP Oneida cyclone and several large machines.
  • Keith asks what brand of double-sided tape to use for templates.
