So with a LOT of help from Ryan I have been able to complete phase two of the dust collection project. This means that the branch next to the center column has been completed, and we now have dust collection for Router, Band Saw, Spindle Sander, and a Vacuum attachment. We have spent ~$350, with a projection of around $150 for the remaining phase 3 (lathe/Drill Press) and 4 (Fine Dust out the Window)
Attachments for the Spindle Sander:

Vacuum Attachment:
Ryan built the holder from raw materials at the Hive. Might be a little high, I’m waiting to see what other people think. Very easy to move.
So the first bonus is that with the vacuum attachment, we can actually attach it to the table saw dust port, and easily remove it when not in use. This results the trip hazard, and all it cost was a cheap plastic adapter!
Second bonus is that I build a small chute from cardboard to keep the chips from the jointer from going everywhere. Since it’s Jim’s tool this is done on the super cheap, and only duct taped on. It can be easily removed if he’s not happy with it. If he’s okay with it, it might be nice to revisit it in cheap plywood with a magnetic mount to keep it in place.
looking good!
