This weeks #tooltuesday goes out to the “Dust-mobile”! Cutlist plans are on my website ! Making a huge mess is usually what I am good at, and being able to drag this literal sucker around has been awesome! The second vac on the bottom is just along for the ride. I can also store my garbage drum there if I want. I do have some upgrades in mind that will make it more user friendly but overall its been great! @ridgidpowertools 4gal 5hp powered with the noise reducer (not really) and the @oneidaairsystems Dust Deputy! Keeps up with my planer, hand tools, and mitersaw and tablesaw are so-so depending on the cuts. At the business end, I usually use the Ridgid PRO hose or the @rockler_woodworking small port hose kits.
As suspected, my HADD (hobby attention deficit disorder ) tendency prevented me from completing the cabinet by today so we'll have to settle for Part Deux of the dust cabinet build.
It still needs drawers, doors and top and back panels. The whole thing will be done in the next few days so come back next Thursday evening for the last installment. Hopefully, this weekend's adventure won't delay the process
The shop vacuum will be remote operated. I need to figure out an electrical solution that allows me to plug in the ossilating/belt sander and drill press, which will be mounted to the top of the cabinet-sander on the left & drill press on the right.
Anyone has a wall mount power strip with surge protector they can recommend?
Check out part one video if you haven't seen it yet @syd.builds
Woohoo! It is done! I wanted to wait until tomorrow to post, but I really, really want to share it with YOU now!! Eeeeeek, I built my first ever cabinet!! Please let me know what you think.
Totally overkilled for a dust collection, but it's multifunctional AND I wanted to learn how to build a cabinet. The result is I learned a great deal in basic cabinet making. Nothing beats learning by doing @syd.builds
How effective is the dust drawer? You be the judge :-)
In order for the Dust Deputy to do its job well, the receptacle that it's mounted on must be air tight. As such, I built the drawer using rabbet and dado joints and glue. I applied silicone caulking in the interior to seal the connecting joints. I also applied caulking around the base of the cyclone. I then used window weatherstripping on the rims of the drawer so that it can create a tight seal at the top when closed.
The remote that you see me using is from the Defiant remote control plug set, which can be found at Home Depot.
***Many wondered why I took the time to build a drawer instead of using a bucket. The simple and blunt answer is, "I wanted to make something that fits my needs so I did it!" The detailed answer? If you're interested in the reasons, you can find it in the comments below where I had a long conversation with a follower, Mjg_12, explaining why I had to customized the cabinet the way that I did @syd.builds
It’s Friday which means you’re allowed to be a little silly Who can spot the silliness in this photo?

Testing out the functionality of the downdraft dust collection cabinet for the router, as well as the performance power of the dust deputy/shop vac set up.
The shop vac power isn’t strong enough to suck in all the dust. You can see that the shop vac helps clear out most of the fine dust, and the dust on the table are big pieces from the initial cut.
What you don’t see on camera is the plume of fine dust rising up into the air when I used the router alone. With the shop vac running, no dust in the air. Even though but it‘s not perfect, the set up performs better than I expected so it’s good enough for me.
How do you like the remote operated additions? Pretty clever eh? @syd.builds
This video was sent to us by @benjaminbutlercompany and we think it’s pretty amazing We love seeing custom cart designs with the Dustopper high up for easy cleaning and emptying .
