New diy dust system

Furnished content.

New diy dust systemDecided to upgrade from my shop vac system to a DIY dust collection system. The estimated cost for my system was about $125. My wife caught the portable central mechanics dust system on sale for about $90 bucks. I found one of those cyclones for $24 buck online. I added a $10 dryer kit and $8 garbage can from Walmart. I decided to stick with all the existing 2.5 hoses I have for my shop vacs. I cut some strips of wood to mount everything to the wall getting it up off the floor. The 3/4 ply is mounted with 2.5 lag bolls into the studs. Mounted the dust engine with 1.5 lag bolts. I cut out some 1/4 melamine board to make the can top more sturdy. Took about 3 hours to assemble everything and test it, it was worth it.

Wine Cabinet

Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


Wine CabinetThis wine cabinet was inspired by the art form of stained glass windows and the flowing curve of a bottle of wine. It holds 10 bottles of wine on the lower racks and many additional odd sized bottles on the shelf above.
16 glasses will fit on the hanging racks above and miscellaneous wine openers, corks etc will find a home in the drawer.I couldn't decide if I wanted the box to be of cherry or maple so I made one of each. I hope to sell them both and make another for myself.The original plan was to fill the gaps between the mosaic pieces with Art Resin. But even after using a blowtorch to get the bubbles out there were still too many bubbles in the material – probably from the wood outgassiing I'm told. After three tries I gave up, routed all the inlay out and went back to what I know and that was to make little pieces of bubinga to fill the gaps.
