Any woodworkers?

So it took a good bit of tweaking and modification, but I finally got the whole thing finished. I decided to give these magnetic locks a try and was surprised at how well they work. They hold the weight of the flag without budging so hopefully things stay that way. Next step is to order some Kaizen foam to put inside and that's a wrap.

 

That is cool. I just saw this yesterday and wondered if that was what you were building.

 

Nice

 

So how many of you woodworkers are in NM. Have a bit of a plug for a local shop re-opening. Albuquerque Exotic Woods. Go follow them on Instagram @abq_exotic_woods and see what they have been up to.

 

The closest "Woodcraft" store near me closed...I didnt go there that much but still sad to see it close....

 

The owner of my closest one had three, he sold the other two a couple years ago. It’s only about twenty miles away but the traffic makes it a bitch to get to. They seem to do pretty brisk business.

 

this one wasnt too busy when i went there but seemed to be people coming in and out a lot.

 

rockler seems too expensive anymore, granted they have good stuff. They are just proud of it...

 

I still need to run another line across half my shop. I have lights, and outlets on one side just never got around to finishing the other side. been using extension cords for stuff but it works.

 

I think i got 20's, I'll have to check, but it still kicks stuff. Table saw kept kicking the breaker on the motor, finally got tired of it and took it out and wired it together. It would kick with the slightest resistance cutting a board. My welder still kicks a breaker but I was smart and wired the lights independent of the outlets so I still have lights when it kicks the breakers.

 

I know my welder I have to have a short extension cord or directly to the wall outlet otherwise the amp draw kicks the breaker.

 

yeah Im sure thats part of it. Good thing is I dont weld much, I had a hell of time welding a repair in the cold last winter...

 

That’s why when I get power ran out to my shed next summer I’m going to have 2 if not 4 separate circuits. Right now I work off a generator and have to turn off the single window ac unit or heater when I use the dust collector.

 

Prior to the electric getting run, I had to run generator. That was a PIA...I have about 6 different circuits independent of each other. Im 99%positive I dont have anything 15amp.

 

We rented a house when we first moved here, had all the lights and outlets wired to one 15amp breaker! WTH! welder would kick the breaker and lights go out, I got tired of it and put a 20amp. It would still kick the breaker but not as bad as the 15.

 

Very nice! I’m at the point that I REALLY wish I would’ve insulated the walls prior to sheeting them. The high wall is south facing so might just throw up some pink foam and resheet the outside. The bubble foil on the ceiling was a huge improvement though. It’s def nice to have a dedicated space but think I rushed it too much.
