      Solid, Functional. Perfect

        The top is on, side holes cut. They are a little smaller than I wanted so I'm going to need to open them up.

        Next is holes and then a base.
        I like it! And yea, I think I'd open the holes on the side a little more too. I'd want to be able to set a drill in there if need be.

          Emergency woodshop need!

          I was turning the lid for my dad's urn and burned up my lathe before I finished. Anyone near Katy have a lathe I could use to finish up?

            I'm in the planning process of ducting my shop with a combo of 4" PVC and flexible hose to go with a HF dust collector.

            There will also be a separator baffle involved, tucked away in a corner. I've been toying with different spots to install the blower motor and wondering... is there any good reason why I shouldn't just mount the motor in the attic and vent it through a wall outside through a dryer type vent?

            I figure, at least I won't have to hear it while it's running and may make running ducts a little simpler.

              If I re did it. I would put the dust collector and compressor outside in a lean to. I still plan on that for the compressor.

              Putting it in a attic would suck to empty the bag.

                    I plan to also put in a separator, basically a large Brute trash can which would be in the shop and easy to get to. I will say these setups are a "plumbing" nightmare trying to adapt hose ends, fittings, blast gates etc to common PVC.

                      Started on my base for the workbench.

                      These work great for screws and such.

                          My phone doesn't always get reception, in my barn, so I didn't see your post ... I ended up buying one from Harbor Freight and got it done.

                          PVC isn't a recommended material for dust collection. The static could possibly spark and ignite the dust. It's not common, but worth considering. At minimum, make sure you use a bare copper wire to ground all the PVC.

                              That looks good! I need something like that.

                                I'm stealing this idea. Beats the heck out of coffee cans.
