    Basement Workshops Uninsurable??

    I hadn't asked about my garage, as setting it up in my basement is worlds better for me. If necessary I will use my garage, but the expense of upgrading it for spending a lot of time out there and for the machines will put off the setup of all this equipment until next year, minimum. I'm going...

    Basement Workshops Uninsurable??

    I find this hard to believe myself. I made out a list of equipment I'd be using, made certain they knew I would not be doing any welding, plasma cutting, or side grinding (which creates a lot of sparks for a long distance). It was clear that all machining equipment would be over concrete...

    Basement Workshops Uninsurable??

    No, It was made 100% clear that it is a hobby at this point. She was even going to put me in touch with a commercial broker, just to find out what would be needed to use it in a business context one day. Ken

    Basement Workshops Uninsurable??

    So I've been on hold building my workshop in the basement, waiting on the go ahead from my insurance broker. I just wanted to confirm if there was any requirements they had, such as fireproof wallboard, etc. I was very surprised today when she told me that Wawanesa, and all other insurance...

    Basement machine shop? Pros and Cons...

    Thanks for all the great information. Yycmh Craig - No, I'd just started setting up slowly in my garage when the opportunity to use this room in the basement came up. All this things listed in my last post are going to be done to my new workshop in the basement. Sorry, I tend to get long...

    Airbourne dust dangers..

    That's a good question Tom. I can't say that I've seen anything about humidity issues with the water filtration. I don't think it's would raise humidity too much, as the air is moving above the water, not stirring it up. Obviously it would add some moisture to the air. The humidity up here is...

    Basement machine shop? Pros and Cons...

    All this input is great. I'm going to move forward with this basement set up. My current machines are small enough to be carried by my 2 strong boys. The room is at the opposite end of the house from the main living spaces. And I am going to put up soundproof wallboard over the drywal, and on...

    Airbourne dust dangers..

    Brent H, love to see your design and setup. I want to set up something that works well but won't cost a fortune for my woodworking. I'm looking at using water to filter the fine particles. I need to recirculate the air for many months of the year (as you most likely do as well) to prevent heat...

    To be honest, I guess I never read enough to see him selling products. I saw mostly design pics and such of what a person can build. Maybe I've just forgotten his sales side, it's a huge amount of information and I read it awhile ago. Either way, I felt his info made sense to me, as I worked a...
