    Adding a DC Drop to the Shop

    I know we have a few folks doing or re-doing shops right now. I would like to emphasize:
    - Take pictures.
    - Take them sequentially.
    - Name them well.

    Knowing what is behind the wall I am about to set anchors into is great.

    I had built in this drop for future use. The future is now. I simply removed the cap from the vertical drop, added a 45 degree elbow, 6x6x4 wye, stub of pipe, and a couple of more 45 degree elbows.

    The shop made blast gate will supply a short piece of 6" hose to a 6x4x4 wye that feeds the upper bandsaw port and an under the table collection point. Sort of like the primary bandsaw shown here in a bit of disarray.

    The 4" port and gate are for a "temporary service" hose that will connect to tools rolled into that area on demand.

    The hose coils behind the saw until needed.
