Well done, I have wrestled with a dust catcher on my table saw ,your video gave me a new resolve. Thank you!

[@SB-gt1pv]

That’s awesome, good luck and thank you!

Like your railroad spike pop rivet finishing tool. I used to avoid using pop rivets b/c that mushroomed side is unsightly and takes up space. Thanks for that smart tip!

[@SB-gt1pv]

Thank you! Glad to help!

I'm a huge fan of overly engineering things! So thus video was great!

And this is exactly the concept I want to do on my craftsman 113 saw

Just cut the vacuum head off and drill a round hole in the metal sheet

[@robjohnston5292]

Very nice design and craftsmanship.

Somebody please take away all this persons tools. No Riving knife, No gloves, No blade guard and you worried about Dust collection ?
Get your priorities straight before they call you STUBBY.
Did you ever hear of a Brake to bend sheet metal? There is also the angle iron method. the tool you are using is called a Hand Seamer and you are not using it correctly.. No gloves and razor sharp sheet metal. BRILLIANT!
You excel ad working very hard to create an inefficient collector design when efficient collector designs already exist.
