    • @TarshaHomestead
      @TarshaHomestead 5 місяців тому

      Thank you! I like HillCo, and for many things, they get my money. John Hill is doing admirable things, BUT, a bottling tank is designed to have honey sitting in it for extended periods, and for that reason I wanted American made for that one item. The extractor, uncapping tank, etc have honey pass through relatively quickly so I’m happy to save money on equipment shipped in from mass producers overseas, and I have been very happy with them too. So you didn’t ask, but that’s my personal take on why I have HillCo everything and then a Maxant bottling tank. The labels I designed in Photoshop using the template provided by Vistaprint to get it the right dimensions, then they printed and sent them out 👍

    • @TarshaHomestead
      @TarshaHomestead 5 місяців тому

      I did, just a month or a two back, and what a game changer. I have actually moved since this shop and I have not built a new station in my new shop yet. I’m not yet sure what I want. One thing I no longer like from the station in this video is the fence. Rarely is wood already straight and it would causing binding.

    • @flfbsphatboyblue8970
      @flfbsphatboyblue8970 5 місяців тому

      Yes, bought a track saw a couple months ago and now I can do preliminary and accurate sheet breakdown in my garage. I agree that the fence idea is not good if cutting bowed boards. I elected to install a t-track in my top inline with the saw. It will also give me better room on the bench as I plan to put cabinets above the surface instead of on it. Have fun building your next station! Cheers! @@TarshaHomestead
