Even with the AC, which is not currently connected as I kind of knocked the vent off the wall, these 100 degree days are no situation for me to be working in the shop. HOWEVER, cooler days are coming.
Days I can finally get out there and purge the junk from my shop.
Days when I can move the stuff my wife wanted me to do / projects from piled up in the shop, into a neat queue in the shed, and / or gone. There are projects she wanted I have no interest in so there is that...
Days when I can finish the shop projects I started.
Days to remove the old tools I upgraded from and move in the tools I upgraded TO.
and lastly...
Days to remove the portable AC, and order / install a proper mini split AC with heat.
It just needs to be under 90 degrees in the shop for a while...
I still need to design / build a flip top stand for the new 10" bench top jointer, and once the portable AC is gone, build a new sharpening station for the Wen sharpener. The old Ryobi 8" bench grinder will be returned to stock with the guards and tool rests and dedicated to automotive / metalworking applications.
I am debating, STRONGLY if I should go ahead and retire my beloved BT3100, and finally invest in what should be my last ever table saw, a SawStop 3HP PCS, although I am not sure I need more than the 1.75HP. And I could probably do great with their contractor saw instead of the cabinet saw, although the dust collection on the cabinet saw would be better...
