Since you're in Long Beach CA, I'd just install it outside and forget about it. Don't run it between 10pm and 6am (curfew and noise law) and you'll be fine. Put a muffler on the intake of you're worried about noise. I've had mine outside my shop for years without issue.

I always feel like I'm from the stone age after admiring your outstanding Eiffel Kris.

Wow, outstanding fab work! Just checked out your thread on irate.

Heck of a score, and good for you!

On my daily glasses I use bifocals, but couldn't see worth a darn cause I wasn't liking thru them to weld. I just got a cheater lens to use, which is outstanding. If you're set on using glasses, have a single vision pair made with only your bifocal prescription.

Nice score! And it fits your motif.

That is just spectacular! With your multitude of talents I'm thinking you might have to change your screen name to Renaissance Man. Brilliant idea to separate your work areas if for no other reason than family time. My batteries get recharged every time I see new posts from you, thank you. You...

Almost heaven...
