The only thing I can think of is if one of my kids got majorly into
woodworking. All three of the girls (oldest kids) expressed an
interest but I won't let them use any of the machines yet. I'm having
a belt/disk sander delivered tomorrow with plans for two other sanding
machines. I think I'd let them use those in addition to the scroll
saw. In those cases, I could see two machines running at once. I
think a bigger liklihood is a rotary phase converter with a 24"
northfield 3-phase jointer I plan on getting at auction for $100. :-)

Like what? I was thinking my only real practical option was an A/C
furnace filter over an opening near the ceiling. Maybe with a plywood
board covering the filter, but on stand-offs maybe 3" from the filter.
It would let the air out, but hopefully reflect sound back into the DC
room. Were you talking about some sort of electrostatic device or
other machine?

Based on the design of the house, and considering I'm currently living
in a different model from the same builder, I'd be surprised if there
wasn't drywall already on the ceiling and on the walls facing the
house.

It's a 10' ceiling in the garage, and the lights will probably hang
lower than the fan anyway so that the fan blades don't case shadows.

I've been talking with swmbo about the situation. She's agreed to put
the compressor in the basement when it eventually arrives. She seems
ok with the framed opening for the window A/C also. Maybe an A/C with
a built in heater solves that problem also.
