      There's a company that does that full time. But damn their tables are pricey. I think a small table starts at $1500. The larger tables are well over $5K.

        I happen to know someone who builds things like this @art_of_shred, just not in winter (shop isn't heated).

            But I have a heated shop and a wood worker I can borrow during the winter. He's super busy so most of his tools don't get a lot of use right now.

              Yeah Art works too much for me on the NTG side these days to do much woodworking.

                The question is.. does he bring in more cash with NTG or wood working?

                  Woodworking isn't as steady.

                    That makes sense, unless you can find your way into making commercial furniture, you'd need a huge customer base with tons of cash to make that type of work steady.

                      @Dashrender Yeah pretty much. He did that and remodeling for years. But it sucks in the winter months.

                        If that was a primary source of income, wouldn't it make sense to install a propane heater in the garage?

                          I'm finally parking in the garage again - and I'm considering installing one 😛

                                That's a double entendre if I've ever heard one 😉

                                    Actually, I have a complete woodshop, aside from the garage. The main issue is with things like open-flame heat sources and sawdust...

                                      Enclosed room and radiant heaters are how my uncle (the aforementioned woodworker) solved that issue. They make these really cool forced hot air heaters that are basically just a big thermal sink with a fan on it. Hot water comes in one side and then much cooler water goes out the other. Not as efficient as normal heat but much safer then an open flame pilot.

                                        A farmer friend of mine build a fairly large wood burning stove on the outside of his garage/barn (1200 sf 25 ft ceiling) and uses force air to heat the building - it's amazing how warm it can get.

                                          I'm just not out there enough to justify the cost to put in heat and then to keep it heated. If I were heating it up and letting it cool off at night, think of what that does to raw wood. It's so much simpler to say screw it, I don't do much in the winter months. I stay inside where it's warm.
