What's a heat bubble? Did it burn the PVC?

No, just created a pocket of air that was feeding off itself that caused the heater to shut down once it reached temp while the rest of the shop was cold.

Got a big gulp in today for the dust collector, think I am going to modify the lathe chambers so it fits.

I think the workshop is pretty much done, still need to ground the dust collector, organize a few things and get the lathes. I start my machining class Monday which runs for 7 weeks so I should have a better handle on what I am looking for in a lathe.

Looks awesome. I am jealous. You have built quite the homestead. House, barn, shop, loft for your daughter, etc.

Thanks Pork, only a couple more things yet to do, still need to finish the road in the woods, need to redo the chicken coop and pigpen, still want an outdoor kitchen of some type, but my wife has been asking more and more about when we are going to start the cabin, so I need to get this thing in gear.

I'm already thinking I want an addition on the workshop out the back end so I can have a forge outside. My wife is going to kill me.

You can use my PorkChopsMmm recipe for success -- "it will just be a cheap lean-to".
