This is something I will install myself.<br />One thing I'm going to add to it are cleanouts in the event of a clog to make clearing them easier.<br /><br />Does anyone here have a central vac system for the workshop? Systemrecommendations - or ones to avoid? Size?<br />Any concerns with having a central vac system in a workshop?<br /><br />thanks!<br /><br />Read more <a class="sw_sl" href="https://forums.woodnet.net/showthread.php?tid=7379934" target="_blank">here</a> http://www.woodshopshed.com/index.cgi/2025/12/25#auto___flattening_suggestions Furnished content.<br />(from WoodNet.net)<br /><br /><br />I have two (2) of these doors ... they are 21" wide by 42" tall ...<br /><br />I glued together two (2) 1X12 boards ... milled them to size ... and routed the edge detail ...<br /><br />They we flat when I finished ...<br /><br />I left them set for a week while I completed and hung the face frame ...<br /><br />Picked them up yesterday and both have warped ... the middle of each panel has raised about 1/4" ...<br /><br />Any suggestions on how to flatten them again?

Merry Christmas.<br /><br />I am going to refinish my SYP workbench after I get it cleaned up a bit. I'm wiping it down with DNA, and I am surprised at how dirty is actually is. I used BLO and mineral spirits 50/50 last time I finished it. That still the way to go? Should I try 100% BLO? Any advantages to that? I am worried it might get gummy. What say you?<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />Read more <a class="sw_sl" href="https://forums.woodnet.net/showthread.php?tid=7379947" target="_blank">here</a>
