I am VERY new to woodworking. This Christmas I got a tablesaw. I have a router and a small scroll saw. Everything is in my large, very dirty (partial dirt floor), cobweb festooned basement in my 114 year old house in Minnesota. I am already ankle deep in sawdust and was searching the web for a shop vac when I came accross Bill Pentz's site. Suddenly I got worried about my lungs. I don't want to waste money buying unneeded equipment as I am on a tight budget. If I get your "complete system", and trash can, filters, a cleanout and piping to the machines, what else should I get and could you give me a rough estimate of the grand total I need to spend? I will need to do all of the work myself, probably. Am I still going to need an air cleaner? a shop vac? covering contraptions for all of my tools? extra wiring? an engineering degree? Zoloft?
Dimentions of my basement: 30' X 40' X 9' (no ceiling). Includes two small rooms with no doors and a large room where my tools are.
