Affordable small shop dust collection
In this video, I upgrade the dust collection in my shop.
I bought a second hand dust collector and set about piping it to all the major machines through my shop.

With this design however, I am able to keep my saw in the same position and know that the ou...

How to flatten a workbench with a router

Following on from my workbench video, this is how I was able to flatten or surface the using a router and a simple sled made from plywood.
