This has been said before. His response was (not a direct quote) that his wife took care of that (not a direct quote).

He also has a dust collector system installed to help her keep it looking that way.

Really good dust collection makes a big difference. It ain't box fans and furnace filters. Don't waste your money on them.

Ya - I like JSburger's nice clean shop pictures. I have been slowly upgrading my dust collection system. From shop vac and box fans to 1.5 hp single stage and now to-be-installed 3hp 2 stage homemade system once I get replacement parts from shopsmith to finish my powerpro upgrade. I would really like to upgrade to the clearvue system but that's a $$$ out of reach for now. :)
520 now upgraded to Mark 7, 520 "shorty", 500 converted to a dedicated drill press.
2 - bandsaws, jig saw, belt sander, strip sander, 4" Jointer, planer, air compressor.
ClearVue dust collection system.
