Popular Post Charlie E Posted November 6, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 (edited) It didn't take me long to realize my rookie mistake with my dust collection engineering while cutting this Seahorse for my granddaughter. A couple of minutes into cutting, the wood hit the pvc piping. Thankfully I hadn't glued anything and it was a quick fix to move it back and out of the way. On the positive side, I cut the whole thing and had virtually zero dust on or under my saw. I'm thinking I may be able to do without the dust mask. You can buy these Seahorses on Etsy, but they don't have the love in them.

heppnerguy Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 those are interesting critters you made. Very creative. I like how your dust collector is set up. I can see why everything stays so clean when you saw. I should make more effort for something like that in my shop too.

Sycamore67 Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Good job on the dust collection ! There are quits a few no with similar designs and they are effective. The Loc-Line works really well. I have had mine for several years and have not glued it. Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meflick Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Great looking project. Your granddaughter will love her gift from her Pops. keep the mask on, even with the dust collection system working, you are still going to have some airborn dust. No need for your lungs to collect. Especially since you have already stated that you have been getting sick from dust. Dusk mask is cheap and easy way to protect your lungs. Means the grandkids hopefully get more time with Pops in the long run. My kids didn’t get to know my dad as I lost him to lung cancer well before they were here. He was only 52.

I am going to go to something less bulky though. With my glasses, and the addition of bluetooth headphones, soon hopefully, I need something less cumbersome. meflick 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombatie Posted November 8, 2022 Report Share Posted November 8, 2022 Love your seahorse and your signature on the back. Someone will be over the moon with it. Great set up too. Marg Charlie E 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
