Dust Collector or Collector w/Cyclone
I'm looking for an economical solution for my 2-car garage. This will be mainly for my larger tools (e.g., table saw, jointer, planner ext.) Currently looking at a Laguna DC15 (1100 CFM) $699 with no cyclone and the Bauer collector and cyclone $699. Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated.

Always get a cyclone. It will separate large from small chips. If you are looking for economical. Just get a 5 g bucket dust deputy and a 16 g shop vac. You can just move to machine you need. Did that for 30 years until I got my Jet.

Here's a pic. Still use it just for the sawstop.

I’m upgrading the garage lighting. Previously I bought shop lights and put them up on the walls. I didn’t realize how much heat these things put out. I didn’t mind it in the winter but now I’m cooking. To further remedy that situation I’m adding a Mr. cool 18,000 BTU mini split.

I have LED strip lights and they produce virtually no heat. Not sure what you're using. Also, on mini split, consider putting in a filter box above the split location where the air intake is. Will save you cleaning the units filters. Simple to make, there are YT videos showing how.
Happy to have found this
Good morning. Name is Vick and I've been looking for a community for some time. Happy to be here. My grandfather was a construction worker and I used to help him out when I was a kid. That's right: child labor! 🤣 I don't think anyone else in the family has taken up woodworking so I am the first. My father said to me "Learn to do one thing extremely well. For everything else you can pay." Well, I got tired of paying for shoddy work. Bought a new house 13 years ago and have been learning and modding ever since.

Hi Victor! Share what you've learned. What's a current project?

Wow, what a dramatic change! Live the cabinetry, lighting, and the glass. You did a wonderful job. What I mean by what you have learned: I like to challenge myself to create new things, new jigs, new methods. It's how I built my skill set over 45 years of woodworking.
Live and learn from your elders

Heres some tournament spec cornhole boards I made. Sealed the frame with truck bed liner and put 6 coats of paint and 3 coats of laquor on the tops to smooth them out.
