  1. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I have been reading as many posts as I can to figure out a dust solution for my shop. I should say that I do not plan on buying a dust collection system, I will be using a shopvac with a dust cyclone setup. I am also considering getting a wall mount shop vac, but I digress. My question is can I...
  2. mini-cyclone shopvac modification

    This is a project I built a while ago but didn't post here. After getting tired of cleaning the filter on my shop-vac and also to see how easy it would be to build a full size big one, I decided to add a cyclone to my shop-vac (using Bill Pentz plans). Installed it on my Ridgid vaccume. This...
  3. One point shop vac clean up.

    Boys and Girls, Sorry for discussing such a dirty little topic. While we may have a hung jury about this being a legitimate project classification, some timber was cut thereby satisfying my ego. While a centralised dusty is nothing new, I'd like to add my take and some of the gadgetry I use...
  4. Another "Different" kind of Dust Deputy Cart

    Some of you may have seen my previous "different kind of dust deputy cart" from a couple of years ago that I have since passed on to another member here who happened to have the same vacuum. http://lumberjocks.com/projects/149634 This one required me to lift the top section off to empty the...
  5. Dust Collection Cart w/ Oneida Cyclone

    I recently finished my version of a shop vac dust collection cart complete with an Oneida Dust Deputy cyclone. I really like this design for a couple reasons. The whole cart has less and a 2ft x 2ft footprint so it takes up only about a couple more inches of floor space than the vacuum by...
  6. Shaving Horse

    A friend of mine is starting to make rustic furniture and using period tools. Thought he might like to have one of these.
  7. Rustic book shelf

    This is a book shelf the a customer wanted to match a BunkBed i made for there kids room.
  8. Garage Storage Cabinet

    This is a cabinet I made for my garage. I'm very lucky to have a separate workshop, so can actually use my garage for parking the cars, and this cabinet helps keep it organized. I purchaesd the louvered doors - easier to buy than to build.
  9. Vertical Shopvac & Cyclone Cart

    I've got a mini cyclone hooked up to my shopvac. Moving them around is a huge pain in the butt and I didn't have any storage for all of the tool attachments or hoses. So I made a cart for them. I didn't want to go side by side because that takes up a larger footprint. The final design holds all...
  10. Hexagon Aquarium Stand

    This is just a simple oak stand I made for an aquarium I got off craigslist a few weeks ago. The stand that I got with the aquarium was old and made from particleboard like the last picture above. I forgot to take a picture of before I trashed it, but you get the idea. It wasn't something...
  11. Dust collector (Dust Deputy)

    Surprised how well this unit works. Got the bucket from my neighbor, ordered the Dust Deputy and bought the particle board and new shop vac hose. And I copied a picture of one of these. Some difficulty with getting the 10gal shop vac to sit in the well with stability. I used two pieces of...
  12. Dust Collection Cart with Window — for Shop Vac and Cyclone (v1)

    At the moment my only dust collection equipment are a broom and a ShopVac. I bought a cyclone on EBay from "eastcaroga" and thought I'd try to cobble a cart together. As a beginner project this was also an excuse to practice a few joints. There are a number of potential improvements so this is...
  13. Dust Deputy Shop Vac Project

    Good friend (fellow woodworker) gave me an Oneida Dust Deputy cyclone kit to be used with my ShopVac. I use a Oneida cyclone to support my large tools, and now have a deputy to support the shop vacuum as well. I found a Woodsmith plan that incorporated a rolling cart to house all the...
  14. Piston Beer Tap Handle

    This was probably the most challenging of all the turning projects I've done. It's a piston with a piston rod Beer Tap Handle. It has a brass threaded insert, 3/8" X 16 TPI, in the bottom so it could fit a standard American beer spigot. I turned the Walnut "piston rod" first, then cut the...
  15. Three Silos

    Hi Images of a recently completed bandsawn box called ~ Three Silos. Australian Red Cedar, it is 14cm tall.
  16. The Bookcase Platform | Custom

    This is a bed that was finished on 09-08-2007. It has a lot of storage options. It features an extra deep bookcase with pull out storage located under the headboard. This one also has six drawers of storage on one side of the bed. It can accommodate another 6 drawer unit on the other side...
  17. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    Hey guys, before I even get started I'll apologize as I know there are over 10 pages of forum articles/threads on various cyclone collection issues, etc. and I've read over most of them, however I still have a question … I recently purchased a Dust Deputy (the small plastic version) for my...
  18. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I've decided to go ahead with Thien's design as opposed to the Dust deputy by Rockler. Thanks to all of you that helped with info and web sites. So…I went to Thien's site to find plans to build one of these. I watched a [very] long video sucking up sawdust. I then was directed to an even...
  19. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    I've researched a lot about vacuum motors and I don't think it's physically possible to get anywhere near the cfm and water lift numbers that the high end dust extractors claim to get. Bosch claims 150 cfm and something like 99" lift for their vac and the others: festool/fein aren't far behind...
  20. Power Tools, Hardware and Accessories
    All I've started woodworking about 18 months ago and it's how I spend about 75% of my free time. I'm in the shop pretty much every day I'm tired of cleaning up saw dust. I'm thinking buying a DC unit, probably the HF 2HP unit everyone seems to love, but I have a few newbie questions first...
