The Nordfab is super easy to change around. Takes longer to hang supports in the ceiling than it does to actually hook up pipe. I don't think the shop is going to change much but, I'll never say "never" either Strange that the video didn't show up in your feed, you're the first one I've heard that from.

bushwacked Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Finally watched it... you may have mentioned some of this in the video but I had 2 kids screaming/playing while watching haha couple questions: 1) what dovetail jig is that? Looks like a Leigh .. what model and how do you like it? 2) what’s your plan for cutting a wide board that would hit the drop on the tablesaw? Bust out the tracksaw and go that route? 3) do you have to ground the ducting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it a lot but don't use it enough to where I can remember how the thing works. I have to break out the manual each time. 2. That TS drop is just beyond my max fence. Regardless, I do have the track saw and other methods to get the job done. 3. I didn't ground the ducting and haven't noticed any real issues. Once in a while when cleaning the paper on the drum sander, I'll get a little shock from the hose clamp that attaches the flex hose to the machine but, it's not bad. Just gets your attention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AstroDave Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Hi Kev... I notice on your CV1800 mount you have it secured to the ceiling as well. Were you finding it drooping over time or is it just there as a safety margin? I like it and now expect to do the same on my install. When I put it in originally I thought it felt like a lot of weight pulling on my wall studs even though I securing it with some hefty lag screws. I should listen to my nervous side I suppose.

No droop experienced but, I've had it that way since day 1 in the old shop. That assembly hanging on the wall is quite heavy and I just wanted the additional support. For me, it was well worth a few bucks in parts at the big box store. It also helped me dial in "level" which was a bonus feature. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keggers Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 The shop is really looking good, Kev. If you mentioned this and I missed it I'm sorry. You said something about calking. I was wondering what you were calking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeset202 Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 Nice work Kev, you get things done fast! Where did you get your slabs? I have been looking for a source, difficult to find anything close to N. Idaho. I sent a note to Matt Cremona to see if I could buy some of his maple slabs, didn't get a response yet. He lives in MN so a fair ways away. How much per bdft for the walnut, if you don't mind me asking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said something about calking. I was wondering what you were calking? So, I caulked up the CV for starters. All those seams need attention. And, I also caulked up the vent pipe on the pellet stove. 1 hour ago, Cheeset202 said: Nice work Kev, you get things done fast! Where did you get your slabs?

He doesn't carry many slabs but, just happened to have those 2 on hand. The pine slabs came from RBM lumber in Columbia Falls. They only deal in local softwoods.
