Nice one, Chris! As an urban timber framer, I don't have the cow poop problem. But I heartily concur about a long-haired dog, planer shavings, and compressed air. The landlord supplies unlimited compressed air in our building (a 6-acre 1930's factory), and the compressor is quite far from the shop. It's amazing how many uses you find for it once you have it. We must have 4 or 5 hoses mounted on the walls around the shop. Great for clearing chips from mortices! CB.
