You putting in drains on your drop lines?

[BloomingtonMike]

Yes the maxline blocks have ball valves in the bottom for a drain. Front hole is for fitting or whatever. I plan to run Bimba regulators with watch trap as well at the drops too.

you ever hear of a woman by the name of Sara Winchester?

[Dave Diaman]

That’s the crazy lady who owned the Winchester house in California isn’t it? I visited that probably 10 years ago. Odd but really cool.

I really liked the brass pieces in the corner of the stairs to keep dust from collecting up

The four lines put a line by chopsaw area and close to jointer planer cluster area, a line by tablesaw area, a line by west door close to pneumatic flatner on glue-up rack and a reel for west door, and a line to blow off filters on dc and an east door reel. Trying to get to a point to test the lines today before moving on. Here is a picture of the block with regulator. This one has a Milton V fitting. I may change those out to 3 way ports on some of them. It is 1/2npt all the way through regulator so seems counterproductive to neck down right there.

Lily helped out today after school. We got 6 more panels done today. We are all getting into the excitement of finally having walls.

The way the walls look it almost seems you are making them cleats so you can hand shelving anywhere you want.

Love it, when I see the girls helping. 

It's looking great by the way.

Any particular reason for the slats all the way up ?

[BloomingtonMike]

Yes Arlin that is exactly what I am doing. I can hang anything I want anywhere I want. It is just more work to do it all the way up and that's what I decided to do. I might want a sign or something or some rarely used item storage up there. I have sixty five Steelcase 30" binder bins that will be perfect for that. I can hang them anywhere. Looks good all being the same to me - that's all I needed. It is the ultimate in flaxability options. I really only impact me doing it so its all good. The girls help me do what I want to do. They just like helping.

This week was get south wall air lines in place so I could finish off south east corner and get the dust collector back in place, main nordfab line connected up, and get the cyclone's casters up on the legs and off the wheels. I also got the 6" drop for the chopsaw area in place, got the Steelcase credenza lateral file cabinets in place that is the start of a chopsaw station, got the electronics binder bin up, receiver and theater speaker wiring labeled and wired and connected, get the network in there and online, and got the tv mount and tv up i use as an av monitor. Those lateral file credenza cabinets came from my local habitat for humanity restore store.

Plan is to hang up some binder bins bought from work ( got a ton of them) this weekend and get those six pallets off the floor as well. Need to cut the cube wall brackets off the bins and screw on some slat wall cleats. May break out the plasma and try and zip off the just to try it.

Here pics of dc back in place and the start of the chopsaw area.
