Pretty common here. They sell seconds for interior use. Easy to light also.

I've thought about that very thing just for being able to have access for dust collection. The downside is theres not really a money savings and harder to heat and insulate.

Do as your are planning. Deck over the floor later.

I like using metal because it goes up quickly and It's painted already.

I'm planning on stripping the floor with 2x4's and insulating with foam board in between. Then 3/4" plywood for the flooring.

I love the idea. I may very well employ it soon! Thanks for posting.

What is the R value on the foam, and where did you purchase it?

Looking good Mike. Why the wood floor?

That looks great! I see you're already set up for a wood stove if you wanted it.

Looking good Mike. Why the wood floor?

I wanted a wood floor for a few reasons.

• Help keep moisture down (wood tools and moisture don't get along)

• Easier to stand on

• Help with heating

• Droped woodworking tools

• to hide wiring for tablesaw and work benches under it.

Nice looking setup. Are you running dust collector under the floor too? Had that at my old shop. Was a great feature. What kind of woodworking are you into? Any need for a industrial shaper in that setup? I have two that I'm looking to sell.

Unfortunately I can't run the dust collection under floor. It's just going to be a hobby shop, I most build stuff for friends and family.

Yeah, I could be interested in a shaper. What you got?

Nice looking jointer. I have the same DeWalt planer here. Hope that shaper works out great for you. It's been a great machine for me.
