| Post subject: | Air is a lot of trouble |
When I decided to build a shop to work on and build guitars, I never fully appreciated all the air stuff. In the last year now I have a: 1 air conditioner cooler (for summer and winter in Houston area) 2 air dehumidifier (for summer and winter in Houston area) 3 air humidifier (for winter) 4 air heater (for winter) 5 air filter (dust collector for health and house keeping) 6 air quality meter (its eye opening to know what the health quality really is) Should 7 face mask air filter, 8 room air filter, 9 HEPA vacuum cleaner and 10 air compressor be on the list? What else have I left off? Crazy. Ed |

Yes to 7 and 10. As for others, you could get air sanders and die grinders! Or ditch it all and build air guitars.....something I'm considering as I just broke another side for no apparent reason. |

Now that you've got all that together, it's time to start on a VACUUM air system!

I've been breaking sides like I was born for it lately. Just when you think you have something under control.......

Laurent: I learned that when I worked in grain elevators. I normally use tap water and have less colds now that I do it every day whether I am in the shop or not. It sound a bit gross but it works. Bob

I'm partial to the Neil Med Turkey Baster bottle for my sinus rinse. Much easier to use than a Neti Pot. http://www.amazon.com/Neilmed-Sinus-Rin ... B001H54VP2 If you have a Costco, this same package is only about 15.99 or something like that. |

I second Waddi on the turkey baster model.The TB model is also good year round not just during the Thanksgiving season. |

I'll second Hanns on the downdraft sanding table. It doubles as a power vent for the CA gluing and pore filling also. Steve |

We had a saying in the Army when I used to saved lifes: "Air goes in and out, Chest goes up and down, Blood goes round and round, Oxygen is good." I would add a Cleanstream HEPA filter to a shopvac to your list if you haven't already. Got mine at Lowe's for my Fein. They make a big difference in air quality and don't reduce the vac's function. |

Ed, I live just down the road from you in Beaumont, and I have never had to humidify, in any season. All I would have to do to go from a hard-won 50% is open the door for a moment, then I'd be back to 75%. I run my de-humidifier, a Solusa, 24-7 when I have a project going. |
