      @@dellsdiy I also like to repurpose or modify items for other uses. Traditionally an Italian man’s thing to do every January is a cured sausage. During the curing process, the sausage is pressed between pieces of plywood and they use blocks as a weight (it’s a construction thing I guess). So I decided I would start to make my own sausage. So I fashioned a multi level “press” made of plywood, threaded rods, and wing nuts. I control the pressure as the sausage dries and it comes out perfect every time. I also made a cheese press out of two plastic cutting boards purchased at the dollar store. I used the same basic design. I thank my father for treating me like one is his sons.

    Dell's DIY, this is a great project, and one I'm going to build. My one question is why you didn't consider a cutout for the shop vac exhaust. I'm wondering if the shop vac wouldn't tend to overheat if it's on for any extended amount of time without that cutout. Your thoughts?

    • @dellsdiy
      @dellsdiy 5 місяців тому

      Thanks for watching and for your comment Don! I had thought about venting the exhaust out the back but decided against it only because I added an exhaust “muffler” which sticks out about 8-9” from the shop vac and I didn’t want it sticking out behind the cabinet because the cart wouldn’t sit close to the wall behind it. If I turn the shop vac on a diagonal the muffler sits inside the cabinet with no issues of overheating since so much air moves through the vacuum it really doesn’t get anything more than barely warm and that’s even when using for 10-15 minutes straight while sanding. You can definitely vent it out the back if you’re more comfortable with that
