After a few weeks of work, it's finally done! This took me a fair bit longer than I expected, but it also works a lot better than expected

This video was an amazing roller coaster. I started out very skeptical but…holy crap that was cool at the end!

2021-05-22 06:45:16 +0000 UTCThis is amazing! Just out of curiosity, how many trips to the local hardware, home depot and harbor freight did this project take?
2021-05-21 11:37:29 +0000 UTCI loved this video. Not only because you're ridiculously silly, which I love, but because you left all the mistakes in. Mistakes are at the heart of making, and showing them alongside the successes is a good choice!

2021-05-19 01:13:34 +0000 UTCI can scoop out the dust with a scoop, but a more convenient way is to use a small dust collector. I happen to have a second small dust collector with no bag that I can use to suck on the dust bin and spread the shavings over a spot in the yard to act as mulch

2021-05-18 23:55:13 +0000 UTCHello Robert, congratulations on a job well done, that was hack of a journey 👏🏻. A silly question since I had never done any woodworking myself, how do you empty the large sawdust bin? It’s on casters so rolling it around is no problem, but I can’t imagine myself lifting bin and emptying it once it’s full.
2021-05-18 23:51:11 +0000 UTCIt does! The larger side of the bin has much larger particles. The small side is mostly fine dust

2021-05-18 23:15:05 +0000 UTCMr Dunn, did you happen to notice if the dust collector sorts the material in terms of particle size like the commercial version?
2021-05-18 23:01:14 +0000 UTCNice work!
2021-05-18 22:38:21 +0000 UTCNo wonder you need a fancy dust separator! Did you see how much dust you created making that fancy dust separator?
