Did any of you guys see the shop tour episode of Woodworks over the weekend ? He went pretty quick but it was neat to see what he had there. He doesn't build things that are my style for the most part but I still enjoy the show.
Interesting that his TS fence looks to be a Biesemeyer but the name is totally obscured. I wonder if they're not a sponsor of the show or if it's just a well used fence. Hard to tell if it's on purpose or not. A lot of his power tools are older models which is interesting to see. Probably a lot to be said for the way they used to make power tools vs. the Chinese imports we get now -- I've heard some of that talk on this board as well.
But the most interesting part to me was his dust collection. A cyclone....outside ? And with no bag / filter. There was a pile of sawdust under it. I thought that part was really strange. If you were going to vent outside, why would you bother have a cyclone at all ? Why not just a really big motor / impeller ?
