Dear Creekers,

I moved yesterday. It's gorgeous. I donated my big power tools away.

I'm thinking of maybe getting a Makita backpack vacuum, so that I can do woodworking without making a mess (cordless planer, cordless circular saw, cordless router).

Is this a dumb idea?

When I've used a corded vacuum hooked to tools, I've found that I have to hook the hose over my shoulder...or use a boom arm.

I just wonder if cordless tools and a backpack vac will allow comfortable ergonomics, with relatively less dust, ina very mobile setup.
