My wife has ceded to me one third of our three car garage. We have a really tall ceiling in the garage, 14.5 feet, so I built a 120 SF loft over my shop with about 5 feet of headroom and placed some vinyl flooring to make it easy to sweep. (Yeah, right:-)
So, now I have lots of storage.
I have a Woodpeck.com router table top and insert on the way, and I drew out the plans for making the case for it last weekend. It seems to me that it needs to be about 40 inches in height. I'm 5'11". Is that about right? I'll post photos when I'm finished with it.
I also am in need of serious dust collection. Price is always an issue, but even more so is that I don't want to die too young either. I happen to like breathing. Bill Pentz pretty much convinced me not to go the cheap route. Now one wall of my shop backs up to the laundry room, and there is an existing 220 line on the other side of that wall, rigged for the dryer, but we use gas, so that 220 line goes unused. Can I just locate that line, drop a new box on this side and hook it up? Ok, maybe not a "can I" more a matter of "Should I?"
The only possible tool I would run 220 on is for DC. If I find a 110 DC system that works for me, I won't need the 220 line at all.
Or, should I have an electrician come and wire 4 new 20 amp circuits for me while he is doing a 220?
Thoughts?
