Not too common around here and the price is high enough I decided to leave it and put the money into cnc one day It's not a self contained unit ( i had to supply the router) but found it on craigslist for $200. I really want to get one of the stand alone units though the possibility seem endless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XBIGJIMX Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Moving over to the area of an assembly bench I have been wanting to do a tortion box or something with a dead flat surface like a sheet of stone...hmm where can i get a nice flat chunk of stone....wait isnt a pool table dead flat. Hold on dont i have a pool table I can't give away. hmmmmmmm lets take a look under that felt oh yeah!!!! One giant plywood size 2 sheets of 1/4" of dead flat slate sandwiching a 2 " MDF'ish material. plus the rails are solid wood to repurpose. Now just have to cut it down to some usable sizes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBIGJIMX Posted January 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 good lord, who would of thought sawing through stone would take a while ... but well worth it I got 2 good 4 x 6 slate table tops ! But with the pool table out, off to do the nasty...oh the part i was dreading moving the tools and small stuff from the garage to the basement. I was trying to think of the best way to do it and i finally settled on just shove everything in a tote and then just go through it when it was moved down there. Now the real crazy thing was how my kids suddenly went missing when it came time to move this stuff. It was like a teenage ghost town. What can you do. First things first the imortant stuff, Everyshop needs the ability to watch football and hockey while working so we got the Surround sound tv hooked up with access to the DVR (thank you hoppa!) and apple TV. And sometimes you need a break so lets move the lazy boy in as well. This actually serves a dual pourpose. This also gives my wife a place to chill and relax and do her thing while I am working. Solves the problem of "Your always hidding in your shop" well come hang out. The tool boxes and parts boxes in so let the organization begin. Also got the Lathe in. It amazes me how heavy that dame thing is Temporary chop saw hooked up along with a demon supervisor Making use of the high celings as well as getting some storage. A few cables and boom storage out of the way! And same soulution for the sheet goods . Fits a 4x8 plywood sheet and i can do chin ups on them so i guess they will hold. A new look so far!

MzI Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Are you going to hang drywall in there? Exposed fiberglass insulation is not good to breath in. Plus not having a proper vapor barrier allows an excessive amount of moisture into the shop rusting tools and changing moisture content of wood.

Prostheta Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 +1 on that. Also, you need more clamps. This goes without saying though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XBIGJIMX Posted January 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2014 +1 on that. Also, you need more clamps. This goes without saying though. Most def on this! btw are parallel clamps worth the money or just over kill Are you going to hang drywall in there? Exposed fiberglass insulation is not good to breath in. Plus not having a proper vapor barrier allows an excessive amount of moisture into the shop rusting tools and changing moisture content of wood. Yes the moisture barrier is going back up I cut it down to run electric. Dry wall will be done a few sheets a pay check so its not sticker shock over load Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MzI Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Use Tyvek tape to seal up any cuts in the plastic. Also did you leave an air gap in between your foundation walls and framing? Moisture builds on the inside of the concrete and will rot away any dry wood that is touching the concrete in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu. Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 You basically have the ultimate mancave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MzI Posted January 29, 2014 Report Share Posted January 29, 2014 1/8" air gap isn't much. Normal air gap is around 1". Best bet would be to leave an access panel somewhere in the wall so you can check on it every once in a while to make sure nothing is rotting or getting moldy. Regardless of if you have a wet basement or not, I like to use Mold resistant drywall in all the basements I renovate/finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
