I put the same thing in half of my basement several years ago and have been very happy with it. I'll be doing the rest of the basement this summer and will use the same product. I've researched similar products and I think I still like ceilinglink the best, The only problem I have is when you do...

Lower budget the Harbor Freight dust collector is impossible to beat, it does a good job. Easily upgrade it to a 2 stage and add a better bag or filter to get the fines. If you can, you can even make it a 2 stage and exhaust the fines directly outside. Dust collection on a miter saw is really...

I used Feeney on my deck and love it but it did cost a small fortune.

Whenever I can get near a stud I use these now http://www.homedepot.com/s/smart%2520box?NCNI-5

You can just lock the thermostat with a code and nobody can change it on you.

I've got these in a closet and also my gun safe with LED strips and they've worked great for a few years now. The closet has bifold doors and I put the strip up both sides and across the top of the door wall on the inside of the closet...

What else is on the same circuit?

I was in Depot today and saw the blower, they had three of them. I grabbed one for myself and one for a friend, I'm surprised at the power the little guy has.

All you really need to do is put a blast gate between your T (a Y is better) and the cabinet and throttle the suction down to the cabinet. My Sawstop is set up the same way and with the blast gate about 2/3 closed I still get good collection through the cabinet and good collection through the...

Eley here too and love it. Their quick disconnects are awesome too.

Great job. I've got the Oneida dust deputy on my Festool vac and love it. The Rigid box is a great choice for your project.

If you keep ammo in your safe you either have a much larger safe than me or not enough ammo. My Liberty Franklin is considered a fairly decent safe but it's not 7ga construction. I did build it in with foundation wall on one side and studded walls on the other side and back. 3/4" ply on the safe...

I've got Tuff Seal pvc and couldn't be happier.
