If you have the money and you have two options. One a new (better) dust collector system. Using a shop vac with 5 gal bucket tornado separator which is OK. Or a drum sander. I hear a drum sander is better for bigger pieces. Today just use typical hand power sander. I have a planer which does I think a great job, other than some tight grain maple which I get tear out. Which one would you get. I have the budget for only one.

I added five new branch circuits to the garage. One 240V and four 120V. All of them 20A. All of them GFCI per NEC requirements. I briefly contemplated using the cheaper non-GFCI breakers but my wife convinced me that I’m worth it 😎

I recently started woodworking and this is my first half garage/shop picture with basically two portable horse/work tables and not many tools. Working on my first project a shoe bench, however, my wife had other ideas for it.

I made this coaster with scrapwood today
