  1. Ok started doing a little pre work on the plan to vent the DC outside … 

    so this corner is where I am planning to move the DC and vent from there to the outside behind it…

    it was tough to get a better pic at the moment … but the edge of the garage ceiling is those back 2 squares (blue squiggles). The outside soffit vents are behind that where it shrinks down to like maybe 4” high (red circles) … and then another foot or so deep back there.

    my main thing is how am I going to get a hose back there? I was thinking of a reducer from 6” to 4” basically righter in the ceiling and then hopefully squeezing a 4” hose through all that without it ripping on the roof nails. 
     

    then my next question is if that is doable how do I connect to the vent so I know it doesn’t wiggle loose and just vent in the attic … 

  2. what kind of clips are the ones you attached to your doors to hand the drawings? Those look real nice and are not the longer rectangle ones!

    I also went the route of more tape measures ... I bought 6 for my garage. Basically 1 at each main space/tool so I had one close. It has been great for quickly finding measurements instead of spending 5-10 mins looking around for one haha.

    That drum in your original pic looks to be pretty heavy which would explain the shipping cost.  

    Shipping has gotten really expensive!  I'm sure you've all noticed less giveaways this last year?  That's mainly because of the shipping costs that I cover when I do a giveaway.

    ya, I guess its costing more due to weight ... I ordered Coops from Grainger and shipping was like $19. 5 gallons less, so I am assuming it weighs quite a bit less ?? Oneida does not list weight on their drum

    I use a fiber, 30 gallon drum that can be had from Grainger for less than $70. I cut a vertical slot in the side and applied a strip of plexiglass with silicone and screws for a sight glass. 

    Something like this?

    any issue with the plexiglass leaking air or dust with the silicone added? Also, screws?

  5. So, looking into updating my dust collection some and was going to buy the below ...

    Then i got to checkout ... $75?? Seems a bit excessive, no?

    Any ideas on getting this drum cheaper? Any reason to not just rig up my own after seeing this??

    Make a quick bracket and hang it on the wall is the easiest way.  You probably could buy bike hooks and drill into the under side of saw.

    are you thinking like going into the wood braces under there? (blue circles)

    yea, I hang mine vertically on the side of my sled cabinet.

    might be time for something like that ... right now its just an open space to collect random crap. right now its the dovetail jig and no mdf top MFT table haha

    I vent mine outside and love it most of the time.  They only time it creates a "dust" issue outside is if I let the bin over fill.  Then, it make a mess!  You really don't see any dust during normal use.

     

    this is good to know ...seriously thinking of doing this now to help free up some room in my garage

  8. I am trying to figure out how to do the math on this …

    I want to make a 20” circle not sure how to calculate length of each piece … 
     

    I found this on a website to get the angle, but not board lengths … 

    If you have 20 boards:

    • 20 * 2 = 40 bevelled ends
    • 360° / 40 = 9°
    • each end should have a 9° bevel on it, so each end should be cut 9° from perpendicular:

    20-sided polygon
     

     

    basically was going to make this:

    with mitered corners and then a plywood bottom that is inset with a rabbit. Figured it might be easier than gluing 10/4 boards together and hogging it all out

    If one drawer organization gives you hope, then you’re like me and it’s a wet dream and will still be a mess, 6 months from now! 😀

    haha ... oh for sure!! I have big plans of organizing, then I get out there and get sidetracked or decide to work on something else more fun
