OK, I am new to the site and re-awakening my career blocked wood working hobby.
My Dad had a great wood and metal shop and I enjoyed my time there.
But my career in high tech and 4 kids and a red headed wife left me little time to continue my wood joy. After 13 moves and lots of home projects I am done. In the midst of revamping my garage into a true shop and in the midst of a few projects (1 at a time).
The one thing that drives me nuts is DUST. I have not made the move for a full dust system but use a Rockler cyclone and a large shop vacuum. My Dewalt Jobber table saw makes a mess - even with its dust port. Looking at putting it on a cabinet with a surface cut out below the saw to catch more dust. I will post my solution. Since my wife seems to park in the same garage as my shop I need to move to a dust system soon.
I am located in West Michigan and pleased to be a part of the Woodworking Talk group. I will need help re-learning my old wood skills so watch for my posts.
Thanks for all the great sharing of knowledge.
