should I go 12' ceiling or stick with 10'? Was already planing on a cathedral truss ceiling for extra head room. Would I still need cathedral if I go 12' ceilings? What equipment did you instal if I may ask? I would point it towards the back edge of the yard because a row of trees lines the back. Two trees in the middle of the tree line are coniferous so it would be a good barrier. Dust would just blow into trees. I agree. I'm not a fan of loud shops.

I don't know how easy it will be to go air free but I'ma try to go as cordless as possible. Not a big fan of compressor noise and I either seem to trip on cords or hose or have a hard time finding a plugin. I guess I'll have to see when the time comes. I may change my mind.

was $20,000 for the 4 exterior walls, the roof, and the concrete slab only (forgot to mention the concrete earlier). nothing else was taken into account. Just used a quick price search on google so its not very accurate especially for my local area. Not sure how much electrical would be. Probably be expensive if I would have to upgrade to 200. The table saw alone is a couple thousand dollars. The flexvolt saw is a bit short of $1000. Probably another couple thousand for random tools. All said and done I'm probably looking at close to $30,000 or more. Funny thing is I actually built an outside lumber storage for my boss this summer who has built over 200 custom houses. I notice the wood is dirty and is starting to grey from weather. Not something I want with my wood. I was kinda leaning toward an inside solution because of the weather, dirt, and air humidity. I'll try to figure out something for storing wood inside. Thanks for the help. Agreed. planning on starting with a shop vac then upgrading to a stationary system. hepa cyclone vacs or whatever they are called. Thats a great idea. could even have other electronics inside the case if I don't want them to get dirty.

So I am designing a woodshop and wanted some help/ideas. Possibly 40'x40' wood frame if I can get it to fit code and I can get the money. If I have to downsize I may try 20' by 20'. I know there's regulations on minimum size of yards of residential homes. I don't remember what they are. My yard is maybe 60' to 70' from back wall of house to the back edge. It might be 100' or more from the side to the opposite side of the yard but I haven't measured. Will be expensive but Id rather go a little higher quality than go cheap and regret it after the shop is built. I figured about $20,000 for 4 walls each insulated and drywalled, and a finished roof. its a pretty rough estimate. 1) I want to install a tv and a speaker system so I could have the option of watching tutorials in my shop, and it could also be a way for my dad to listen to talk radio while he works outside. Was thinking a speaker in each corner at the ceiling and the tv mounted on the wall maybe in a corner or something.I don't want just any tv or speakers but I want ones that aren't gonna go bad when exposed to dust or anything else they could be exposed to in a woodshop. Is there any decent ones out there that could do the job? I doubt there's any ip rated tvs or surround sound style speakers out there but I could be wrong. Maybe I don't need to worry about it. 2) Would a fan built into the wall moving the air from inside the shop to the outside help with dust, finish, fumes, or any other airborne material/chemical that may need managed? 3) I was planning on having an overhead door, another access door 4) a window or 2 Possibly a skylight if economically feasible or worth it, How much should I include for good light? What kinds should I include? Also how much other lighting should I include? I was thinking LED lights because of the power savings, long lifespan, and a more pleasing kelvin color than incandescent or cfl in my opinion. 5) Some kind of lumber/sheet good storage. whether it be a covered shelving system outside or something else? 6)some kind of work surface whether it be a mobile table and/or a non-movable worktable/bench 7) the Dewalt 12 in sliding flexvolt saw with a nice fence system 8) a Powermatic tablesaw with router lift, 9) a french cleat system for tool storage. 10) a power outlet or 2 that would support more powerful tools like the table saw 11) A few small power tools like Dewalt 20v brushless planer, Dewalt 20v multitool, Bosch orbital sander and sheet sander, Dewalt flexvolt drill and impact kit, Dewalt flexvolt tracksaw 12) cathedral ceiling for a bit of extra headroom. Not sure if it should be trussed or not. 13) some bar clamps, various screws/fasteners, glue, draw slide jig, pocket hole jig, handle/knob jig Anything else you guys think I should have/change or would be an essential woodshop feature/tool?

Kinda funny to think of a saw with a mustache.

oil stain does smell but its not too noticeable when poly is put on top in my opinion. I have used both polyurethane (sprayed) and polyacrylic (brushed). urethane is faster to apply cause I sprayed it but acrylic had a heavier coat cause I brushed it. I think the acrylic dried faster. I cant remember if there were many brush marks with the acrylic. The Acrylic is thiner than urethane and is white but dries clear. The urethane is a more golden yellow color and a bit thicker. Ive also used amber shellac (brushed). It dries faster than the other 2 I've used and has an amber color to it that will dry with an amber tint. I've never used any other finishes.

You didn't notice the rear end of the Dodge Challenger in the trees?

I just noticed his guy cutting has his leg on the "saw horse" guy. Makes it even more funny.

Well sorry about the bad news @HughJass but CPO is now saying "Pre-OrderShips on 1/15/2017" for flexvolt tools.

is the challenger ok?

Maybe it was one of them zillion undocumented immigrants from the US Mexico border? Anyone think anyone who wants to become a citizen of united states should know english or at least hire a translator?

oh ok thanks. I'll just keep my 2 battery recip kit... if it comes. factory authorized is now saying "Out of Stock Nationwide Factory Backorder"

is the flexvolt sawzall the 2 battery kit?

Impressive it only took you 5 hours. Looks nice. You planning on any durable stain or finish/sealer?

I wonder if a more compact version is in the works to compete more with the hole hawg and not the super hawg. The stud and joist drill is a decent tool, but it is not for everyone. I wonder if the average guy would replace his corded drill for a flexvolt drill. I see a lot of guys who have a corded drill for the occasional mud, grout, cement, or paint mixing. Don't know if the extra costs would be worth it to them to cut the cord. Maybe to someone who already is invested into flexvolt but Im not sure about anyone else.

the flexvolt isnt much wider than the hole hawg. If you rotates the top handle to the front it would be almost as compact as the hole hawg. Just a couple inches wider.

a curved cutting board will be interesting.

just get a 7.5 hp 460v Powermatic tablesaw and attach it to a trailer. Now it has become a job site tablesaw. Not only can it cut through a 3/4 in piece of plywood, it will rip through your house, the kitchen sink, and even your neighbors backyard. It will then run up a mountain eat a bacon sandwich and run back down without a sweat

your correct. I'm surprised you guessed the right youtuber.

Just watched a video about the FlexVolt table saw and the guy mentioned Dewalt is working on a power adapter for the table saw. He said look out for it in 9 months or so. The video was posted on August 5th so I'm guessing in around 5 months we should at least get some more information about a power adapter for the table saw. Don't know if we will actually get an adapter then. The reason Dewalt was unable to provide an adapter for the table saw was because of the added challenge converting 120v power to 60v. The miter saw didn't have this issue because it already was a 120v tool and needed no conversion. I wonder if the adapter for the table saw would work with other 60v tools. Does anyone think Dewalt wont make an adapter and instead make a 120v table saw? Should they make both a 60v adapter and a 120v table saw? What do you guys think? Also what about the Europe market that runs on 240v?

duct tape fixes everything

I think we need to paint your tools beige

but its got a built in charger. adds like a zillion bux.

North America gets the better saw and in trade Europe gets a bunch of tools we don't get. Don't make sense to me.
