I'm working on some larger projects now for folks I know at work, primarly right now it's a dresser and Armoir. While working on these 2 projects I have discovered a number of deficiencies!
1. I need a bench. Why the heck did I wait so long to build it. The lumber has been in the rack for nearly a year now. I was hand planing some hardwood caps I put on the ply pannels for the dresser and my outfeed table was racking so bad I thought we were having an earthquake!!
2. I need an assembly table!!! My outfeed table just 'aint cutting it anymore! These pieces are too big!!! I think it's torsion box time (or perhaps 2 solid core doors butted up together on a shop made stand.
3. I NEED MORE STORAGE! Hand tool cabinets, tool chests, something... anything. Time to get to work...
4. Even though I just re-ran all my DC Ducting I need a cyclone. My single stage isn't quite good enough anymore... it's an older JET DC1900A and the chips are being sucked up into the upper filter bag rather than staying put in the lower collection bag. There is no neutral vane or material where the bags connect like on the HF DC. I think that's part of the problem.... Or perhaps I have too much SP and should have cartridge filters on top.... at any rate, I'm not happy with my current DC solution.
5. I don't have time to build #'ers 1 through 3... but I have to... starting this weekend.
Thanks for letting me vent...
