Doing Things Wrong

ShopVac

This is what a pound and a half of sawdust looks like. You'd be surprised how fast you can make it. This little vacuum, set up to be ultra-convenient, is worth its weight in gold. The vacuum is basically integrated into the workbench, so it is always handy. Both belt sanders have quick hookups.

This baby ShopVac was another freebie for review from Home Depot. It works just fine and fits right under the workbench on a shelf I built for it. I extended the hose with another that fits from a vacuum I scavenged from the roadside.

With finishing stand

This is a spray booth I just made. This should work much better than the ad-hoc spraying setups I've used until now. I came up with the following criteria for the design:

  • cheap
  • easy to build
  • as big as practical
  • break down for storage
