Thanks for the help

I think I know the issue that is causing the twist.

I try the sanding or plane method to flatten the bottom.

I realize I did a terrible job of asking my question.

What I was looking for is some help in approaching the situation.

Do I start by sanding the part of the crib that touch till I get all...

I should have better described it. That piece in the photo goes on a base that has rockers attached to it.

So it would need to be flat on the bottom to connect to the base.

Hello,

I built my workbench with lots of advice and knowledge from here.

Came out really good and works great.

But

I cant get my holdfasts to work at all.

Just to wrap it up.

I had a some trouble locating both the 7 inch and 8 inch outside vents that were readily available.

So I am going with the 7inch to 6inch reducer and see how it works.
...

Thanks for the suggestions.

I am going to look around a bit today and see if I can find some 7 inch stuff.

If I can and it looks like it may work I might go with that. If it involves ordering...

Hello,

I have a Laguna 2HP manual clean dust collector (MDC0560-0145) that I am going to vent outside. Who knew besides those that read the manual or measured the outlet pipe that it is 7 inches....

I was thinking of doing my glue up in the one board at a time method. I work from home and could get a few boards done in a day.

I am still in the hunt for a No 7 plane.

Thanks again to all of...

I was not clear my no 9 is a Stanley 9 1/2 block plane.

I am looking at adding a 7, started the search for a used one initially.

I do have a few hand planes which I am trying to use more and more. I own a No. 9, No 4, and a No 62.

Thanks very to all of you for the suggestions and encouragement.

If all goes well I will...

Thank you all for the suggestions and encouragement.

I have to get started before I convince myself that I should wait and look at buying again.

Sorry I got side tracked with Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the suggestions and to Dom Greco, thanks for one of the best write ups I have ever seen. Photos, links, and a wiring diagram.

At my house...

When I looked at the iVac I was adding in the cost of also buying the auto switch for each of my tools. So at $80 plus $60 a tool it was costly.

I think I am leaning towards the PSI one you...

That looks pretty cool but it may be more than I want to spend.

Hello,

Has anyone found an aftermarket replacement for the Laguna remote control. Mine died and I was hoping to get something a little more robust.

Should I just go and get a remote switch...

Hello,

I just wanted to follow up and let the thread know what I did. I ended up having a local sheet metal shop make them for me. They were $6 a piece using 1/4" stainless rod. I just never ...

Per your suggestion I am planning on going to a metal supply place this week.

Thank you to all for the replies. It has been very helpful.

I will let you know how I make out.

Thank you for all the suggestions. I may purchase some 1/4 steel rod and see if I can figure out how to bend it with some consistency and relative ease. I have a stupid question, is cold roll steel...

Charley,

I think I just may pay someone to make these, or come up with another way to do it?
