ChrisLBren got a reaction from Nirvana in Workshop Advice
Thanks for the feedback everyone - here are some progress photos - should be done by Wednesday (I used left over Benjamin Moore Paint Revere Pewter Paint from our living room rehab). The drop ceiling and lighting will be installed tomorrow. I could have the contractors drill a hole in either wall on the HVAC side or the Water Heater side for hoses to install the dust collection/shop vac system away from the shop behind the doors. Would that make sense ? Also do I need a ceiling mounted unit to clean the air as well ?

Thanks for the comments and the "likes".
She'll be coming off the jig as soon as the last coaming is set into place and before the rest of the deck planking. I found some nice 1/4" mahogany and i"ll make a cradle that will hopefully do her justice and not hide her lines. I gave serious thought to pedestals but they just seem flimsy. i have one ship on pedestals and I get nervous anytime I have to move it.
The longer I wait, the more problems I'll have once I begin removing the jig so time to bite the bullet and get her done.
Bear with me on this....

Hey Group,
I have contractors finishing my shop next week - its approximately 24 feet long by 9 feet wide. I've attached a pic - they will be installing a drop ceiling as well as lighting. I intend on installing a work bench on the wall below the window - and thats where I will place my Jim Saw, Jim Thickness Sander, Scroll Saw and Spindle Sander. What sort of dust collection system will I need ? Rusty has given me some ideas. Any recos on workbenches for this space as well are appreciated.
My next project will be a fully framed build - and I do intend on buying dimensioned timber from Jason at Crown. Im still going to need to thickness sand. I talked to a sales person at Rockler today and he was selling me on a freestanding JET 1 Horsepower system - it seems like overkill. I do need to install some sort of system to hook to my tools for dust extraction - just not sure which one. I was also considering the JET Air Filtration system hung from the ceiling. Any ideas ? I've never set up a proper shop until now.
On the left hand side of the space will be my main workstation (new table will be moved down from my office and the one in the pic is getting trashed) and Ill place my Jim Sander and Preac there that don't throw out as much dust that get heavy use. I can just use my shop vac there to clean up.
Thanks for any input,
Chris

My wife bought me the Lie Nielsen chisels at 1/8, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 for my birthday along with a leather roll to store them !
I'll purchase the Veritas Sharpening System myself - maybe I won't need a mill for a while....

ChrisLBren got a reaction from Landlubber Mike in Planking my Charles Morgan with African Blackwood - am I crazy?
Agree with Doc Blake here - my dyed Pear with Fiebings on Confederacy has looked great for its 7 years - its all top coated with Danish Oil. I cant even comprehend the thought of trying to plank a bluff bowed ship like the Morgan with Ebony....
