Now about that PVC air line.....<br> <br> clint<br> <br><br><br> <BR><div>> To: woodworkers@sawdusters.org; paul@sheridan-construction.com<br>> Date: Wed, 16 Mar 2016 17:19:18 -0700<br>> Subject: Re: [Woodworkers] Dust collection<br>> From: woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org<br>> <br>> Paul, as usual I'm a day late but I thought I would throw a few thoughts in. John and Royce have already given you Bill Pentz's words of wisdom by Bill so you have plenty to read. Back when I started the design for my shop I spent allot of time reading everything I could find including all of Pentz's stuff.<br>> Delta puts out a nice (or they did) publication on dust collection for the hobbyist. Although very basic it gave some good info.<br>> When everything was said and done I just used good common sense in my design. <br>> Although Bill has allot of knowledge he is very one sided on a portion of the subject. As you read his stuff I would not get too concerned about static build-up and grounding of your system. With that removed I think a fellow can pull some valuable info from his ramblings.<br>> <br>> As for his stance on grounding and his very huge concern about fires and or explosions. In all of my research I never found a single alleged case of a fire or explosion caused by a dust collection system in a hobbyists shop, not one. As a matter of fact I continually found information proving that it was not possible. There was one fellows blog I read that backed up all of his research on the subject of hobbyist shops and "dust explosions" with a whole bunch of physics stuff. There were others that published similar stuff. <br>> <br>> I type the following only to shed a little light on Bill's personality. I understand being passionate about a subject but not to the point I have personally seen Bill take it. On more than one occasion I witnessed Bill attack people on Woodnet for questioning his writings. Ultimately he was banned from posting because of his "personal" attacks. I believe that he was kicked off of at least one other woodworking forum for his "it is my way or the highway" stance on the subject. If I was as passionate as he is on a subject and I was continually provided information that at a hobbyist level I was wrong I would have to step back. Maybe I would still believe I was right but I would not continue to argue with and certainly never attack those that question it. I would just let it go. Kind of like my stance on using PVC for air lines. I know what I learned in all my research and I know I will never use PVC for air lines. I also no longer get involved in the subject when it i<br>> s brought up. Maybe in my lifetime I will be vindicated....... Who knows maybe Bill will be too........... <br>> <br>> <br>> 2Dave<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> Ya know, life is all about perspective; when the Titanic sank it was a miracle to the lobsters in the ship's kitchen<br>> Woodworkers@lists.sawdusters.org<br>> <br>> To unsubscribe from this list -<br>> http://lists.sawdusters.org/listinfo.cgi/woodworkers-sawdusters.org<br></div> </div></body>
