Air Compressor Cart
|
|
I use a small portable air compressor in my shop. But despite the name, I find it cumbersome to carry this compressor around where I need it. So instead, I built a small, roll-around cart for the compressor

Air Hose Caddy
|
|
I bought one of those yellow coiled hoses to use with my air compressor. And for the most part it worked great. The lightweight, compact design made it a nice addition to my small shop. But I encountered one minor problem. I didn?t have a good way to store it. So I put my mind to it and came up with a simple solution.

Air Station Assembly Table
|
|
A wide variety of air-tools can be used in the shop to assemble projects ranging from small craft items to cabinets and furniture. In most instances, a sturdy workbench or table is needed as a work surface to assemble projects. The air-station shown provides a sturdy work surface as well as storage for air tools and fasteners.

Blind Depth Gauge for Dust Collection Cyclone Barrels
|
|
By Grant in Iowa - Since the bin is under vacuum, the small air leaks around the dowel should be insignificant to system efficiency. You can then mark the dowel like a dipstick: ?Empty?, ?1/2 full?, ?Full?, and ?Holy schtick!?

Dust Collection Cyclone

The purpose of this site is to share what I have learned with other woodworkers about the hazards of wood dust and what I did to help protect myself and my family. This particular page steps you through the process I used to build a blower. A blower is a powerful high-speed device that if you build wrong could cause serious injury or damage

This is a detailed account of the construction as well as some info that I think will be useful to those starting from scratch. I hope you find the information contained in this page useful

Pictured [at this link] is a very efficient portable unit built from a dryer blower / motor, cotton bag, vent hose and some scrap plywood. A call to your local washing machine repairman should supply you with a source for a used blower/motor combination, the rest is easy.

Miny Cyclone Dust Collector
|
|
Ok why cant I use the old vac and just connect it up to some sort of separator for the larger particulate mater. I could always use the shop vac but that thing is so darn heavy and loud. Hence I decided to build a mini-cyclone. Having built a few larger ones I figured it would be a snap. And it was.
