Re: New shop suggestions (long)

Thanks for the input. I guess it would be better to put something
other than plain old insulation in the walls around the DC and
compressor. I'm not sure where I could get old rugs from though.
Gravel might be a good idea. I wonder how much of this is overkill
though. If I can get 90% of the way there with just osb on both sides
of the studs, I have to wonder whether that would be enough. It looks
like I'm going to have to have an air return in the wall or something.


Maybe the air return back into the shop could be a muffler from a large
deisel truck. I think it would have to be tuned for whatever noise the
two machines made though. It would be interesting to cook up some sort
of muffler type device out of plywood that would cancel the sound
waves, but still let enough air through.

Intakes or venting to the outside is probably out of the question since
heating is a major concern.
