cruel, unusual

6 minutes on 380, keep the cheese out until the last 30 seconds.

And the corn dog was perfect, as were the motz Stix and chicken strips. This appliance has been promoted to having its own spot on a shelf just outside the kitchen. I could see using it daily.

First of all, fuck the patriots. It's enough already. Jesus.

Today I tackled dust extraction. Mostly.


I wanted a central type set up with ports in the places I mount my machines. And I wanted a port on the bench top for cleanup.

I decided on a PVC center duct with hoses coming off at T couplings. Thinking it through, I need blast gates to cordon off sections not in use, so I don't bleed suction.

I committed my largest shop vac to the duty. So it starts there. I had measured the dimensions of the hose couplings on it, the dust extraction ports on the drill and saw, and the smaller 2 vacuums.

Happened to be that the T couplings had an external diameter close to the internal diameter of the main vacuum hose coupling.

One arm of the T runs up from the vacuum hose, the other up above the bench top where I've attached a hose. The post of the T goes into a cylindrical shut off valve and on to a pipe under the bench.

That pipe has another T, or 'drop' to the drill press port. Then another cut off valve and on to the band saw port.

It'll probably look like this most of the time :

I can attach the hose to add another machine, like the router if I swap the little pipe for the long one with the hose hooked up to it.

I'm leaving it all dry fit, not glued up so it's modular.

If something starts falling off annoyingly and it's not something that gets changed out, I have the kit

Oh, forgot to say that I'm going to get one of those cyclone things. They're pretty cool.

Let us know how the cyclone works, I'm thinking similarly.

Also Fuck the fucking Pats.

There's lumberthing I want to tell you
 

I've been looking at those cyclone things for years and would also like to know how they work in the real world.

Blast gates are a must have.

COCK!!1!




SUCKER!!1!

:lol2:


Gonna go ahead and give ya points on that one.

+3 for timing.

Fuck the Patriots.

But damn, what a second half.

Andy Reid denied his Super Bowl once again

He just didn't have Brandon Graham available to strip-sack Brady on the final drive.

I know. Sorry. I'm not very nice. Next week I'll be back up and looking back and the winter will be even rougher. Right now though, I'm sweating my balls off.

We're at margaritaville resort. It's the west edge of the key and the big ships dock here.
