Basements are great for seasoning and storing wood as long as the wife doesn’t mind sharing the same space with her wardrobe; most weekend woodworkers/turners have their shops there here in the northeast not something I recommend due to the noise and dust but any shop is better than no shop especially when it’s a consistent 60-68°F.

Hey we had a heat wave here the temp only got down to -17 below. lol Basements are great. about 90 percent of them have basements in minn. We have tile around our newer addition and the older part has a stone & morter, topped with a couple courses of block. All the older part from the 40's. Not finished in old part. We do have a few streams coming through the old basement and it goes right to the floor drain. The new part we have a sump pump that the tiles drain into. Basements are great. But some times the single level would be better. We have 3 floors. upstairs, main level and Basement. Anyways a bit of the topic but .... Kind Regards, Timothy J.

LoL Yes - basements are GREAT - provided the water table allows them. Like you said - very moderate/stable temperature year round.

Hello again everyone, this topic has taken off... First with Bill's heat. I suggested a few years back, when he was re-building his house and workshop, to earth berm his house and perhaps even dig a basement. he said that this kind of things just were not done over there. Earth is an good insulator for both hot and cold. As for me, I have a two car detached un-heated work shop, I use a radiant Kerosene heater.https://www.amazon.com/REMINGTON-REM-80-OFR-Radiant-Heating-Square/dp/B07GF9JQ1F I very much like my heater. its not as cheap as it once was to use, but this heater is quite and heats the shop nicely when I am working out there. I normally go through appx. 50 gal per winter. For me digging another basement and earth breaming my place just isn't as easy in a city environment. ;-( But perhaps... anything can be made possible. ;-) Take care everyone, It's -12 F* out tonight. Stay worm.

Can’t say enough good things about the LP gas Rinnai EX 38CWP wall heater, super efficient, dependable, care free, has 2 washable stainless steel mesh filters, a water reservoir to add necessary humidity, easy installation, only complaint is they keep increasing in cost my 1st one 5 years ago was $1200 now their close to $2200; actually have 3 of them between my 2nd house, my wife’s art studio and the shop. Apparently you sent your Minnesota weather to my brother in Texas, here in Northville, NY its 36° freezing rain with a big snow storm on its way in 2 days.

Hey Michael, thanks for replying back. Always interesting to hear what others are using. Have you ever had to put in any parts? Sounds like it works pretty well for you. Tell me a little more about the wall unit you're using? You're very welcome on the weather. I never like to keep things for myself and my Mom taught me to share especially gifts like a long winded Polar Vortex. lol. Sounds like by the weekend we may be out of the basement for a while.

I hope everyone is well? Its COLD in my shop, So I spent most of my day staying inside. I've been looking for projects to play with on the Legacy and or my Lathe. On the internet today. I want to do some more bone turning, I have already cut out a number of bone disks, I am looking forward to gluing them up into something that I can turn, soon. The problem is What should I make? I don't like pen's! I have already made a number of magnify glass's and other kits type of projects. I have gone to a number of dollar stores and hardware and thrift stores, looking for cheaply made things that can be re-worked. but so far no luck finding anything new. So I thought I would ask you all. Dose anyone know of a nice projects, that you like to make? Family heirloom type of stuff. Perhaps a letter opener? or ??? Any and all ideas are welcome. Looking forward to talking to you all more. Have a good night. C.A.G. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
