This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Jim, We have two separate structures but there is information in the Setting Up Shop book on that. Basically, set your clean shop up like a finish room with its own exhaust fan/air cleaner and separate the two rooms with an air tight wall. And yes, either learn to wipe your feet or take your shoes off :>) Regards, Dale =20 -----Original Message----- From: caut-bounces@ptg.org [mailto:caut-bounces@ptg.org] On Behalf Of Jim Busby Sent: Monday, September 15, 2003 9:58 PM To: College and University Technicians Subject: RE: New shop 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 =93buffer=94 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=92d leave it you could see exactly = where I=92d 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.
