A few shop pics

Been a while since I updated this.

Picked up a new table saw. 3hp 36" rails

Built a small cabinet out of scraps and pocket screws for under the wing.

Made up a quick couple brackets so I could hang the miter gauge on the side

Last but not least, I got this running again. Appears it is noted to have problems but parts are easy to get

Hi Southwood. Looking great, so much pleasure returned when you look at a situation and nut out a practical answer. The super dust deputy is the way I am going to go as well. I have the little one on my shop vac and the difference is astounding. Keep us posted.

Actual specs are 6" at the top and 5" coming out the side. I bought reducers for both to run just the 4" flex I had on hand. Have been running my drum sander on a piece of scrap for about 30 mins as a test and nothing has made it to the plastic bag below the filter. Not a true test but about as good as I can do. I am going to try and fill the drum here in a few days and see what happens then.

Might as well update this as I am off work today.

 

I had to add this to the back of my saw in order to work around the elbow for dust collection.

Then I done some trading and threw in some boot and pick this up. Not really any good at using it, but I have it.

Of course it caused me to move some stuff around and tear out some stuff. I did gain room in the back for parking storage of mobile stuff.

Also had to pull in a couple more circuits.

I needed more bench cookies for something I was working on here lately and made these. Scrap 3/4 MDF and old mouse pads.

Oh I needed more room for the clamps from Jet's Christmas sale, so I rebuilt one rack and made a new one. Sold Marc's design for the new one.

I made a more solid roof for the area where I store my benchtop tools. I really wanted to try out my T&G bit set. gave me a place to put stuff I rarely use but want to keep.

I think that about does it for now. Should be all caught up. Working on a project or two and a few more shop upgrades. Still finding room in my small space.

I really like how it works. DC is Harbor Freight 2hp model. Approx 12 ft to table saw and 15 ft to end of flex hose that I use for router table, planner, jointer and drum sander. Both measurements are from inlet of cyclone.  

Really good work on the setup. I'm still debating if I want to get a 2hp or 3hp model from grizzly. I would like to have the 3hp model, but it has the two chip bags and two filter bags. It really would take up A LOT of room in a crammed space already.

Well I decided to use the lost space below my drill press. With this set up, I can keep all my drill bits in one place, wood type or metal.

 

Found some plans in Shopnotes #128. Changed them around a bit and made them work for me. 

 

First we started with a base.

I then made the cabinet. Used up several walnut scraps. My father in law is already in love with the set up. Now he will know where all my bits are when he needs to borrow a few.
