I work in a small shop - a 19' 9" x 11' 6" 1 car garage, so space is at a premium. Actually space is almost more precious than wood. So anything I can do to cut down on the footprint of a piece of equipment is welcome. One of the biggest offenders in terms of floor space is my dust collector with the trash can cyclone. So this weekend I decided to do something about it

Now I have over 3 feet more floor space, the DC can be moved as a single unit and when I slide the planer back against the wall I don't bump the trash can into the DC switch and shut it off.
For those of you with shops measured in acres this may not be much, but those with a small shop will appreciate the gain.
Happy New Year.
