This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Dale, =20 Thanks. Good site and ideas. I like the two room idea, but how do you keep dirt/dust from being tracked or blown from the dirty side to the clean side? Is there a "buffer" entrance, completely separate entrances, or do you wipe your feet off better than I do? I used to have my shop inside my house and every time I'd leave it you could see exactly where I'd gone. =20 Jim Busby =20 =20 -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Dale Probst Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 6:22 PM To: 'College and University Technicians' Subject: RE: New shop =20 Jim, Check out Woodshop Dust Control and Setting Up Shopl- Sandor Nagyszalanczy, and The Workshop Book-Scott Landis(all on Taunton Press)=20 There is some shareware available at http://www.inthewoodshop.org/software/software.shtml that I have found useful, especially ShopDesigner. Shop design is a pretty individual thing and usually ordered by the type of work you do the most, the size of your shop and budget (not necessarily in that order). We are in process on two shop areas- one "clean" and one "dirty". The clean area is climate controlled, no noisy or dust producing power tools allowed, an air cleaner running 24/7. The dirty shop contains a list of the usual suspects- routers, sanders, power saws, drill presses etc. The dust collector lives there, the compressor lives between the shops in its own little cubbyhole to serve both shops. Don't forget safety equipment, especially for the eyes, lungs and ears.=20 You might check the pianotech archives for some posts on the subject some time back.

Can anyone refer me to articles or books that might give me ideas to look at? It will be aprox. 1000 sq. ft. and hopefully be done this fall/winter. Currently I have a small, efficient shop (200 ft.) where I do action work and key work, etc. and the new shop will be in addition to this.=20 =20 Does anyone have the "ideal" shop (if it exists) or know of one worth investigating?=20 =20 I have definite ideas, but your input will be greatly appreciated, especially pertaining to layout, i.e.; floor plan.=20 =20 Regards, Jim Busby ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
