    I don’t think it’s changed much here lately.

    No sir. A 200 amp service will give you 200 amps of 240 or 400 amps of 120.

    Update: I just delivered a pair of chairs for a grand total of 18 chairs sold so far. I am so grateful! I bought a drum sander and that has really cut the sanding time down. My shop vac can’t keep up with drum sander so I am building a dust separator. Here’s some pics.

    Too bad you weren't closer. I sold off a very nice Delta two bag dust collector a few weeks ago. Dual port too. I should have kept it, but I still use my old Reliant collector. Sentimental I guess. Young guy bought it was starting a wood working side business.

    Sounds like you are keeping busy.:yes:

    Always busy! My shop is small so I’m trying to keep my dust collection to a minimum.

    I just got an order for 4 more chairs! I’ve sold 26 chairs so far! For all of the folks who live more than 75 miles from the 12035 zip code, you should start selling chairs. I’ll help you! Anyone who lives nearby, sorry!!!:rofl: :lol:

    I wouldn't mind selling some, hopefully I can get the shop set up next year.


    Still trying to determine shop lay out rather than just start putting stuff in the polebarn.

    Edit.. At 4 hrs away, I don't think we'd be stepping on each other's toes.
    :cool:

    You're closer than Michigan.
    :rofl: :lol:

    Besides, seeing how your shop is set up could give me ideas on my setup.

    Information is worth the trip itself.

    Meeting you would be great as well.
