Far from complete, but it is functional & it works great.
I bought a 2 HP DC from Harbor Freight (on sale + 25% discount), added a Woodcraft Dust Separator cap on a 32 gal Home Depot trash can and started plumbing it in this weekend.
My woodshop is 1/4 of my 30x50 garage and is located on the other side of the wall behind the DC. So far I have a finished drop for my drill press & a temporary drop for my lathe. I still need to add runs & drops for my miter saw & table saw in the woodshop. (Yes, I will replace that 90˚ elbow with 45s when I add the additional runs.)
My bandsaw, sanders & jointer are in the front part of the garage & off to the side so we can actually park cars in the garage. They will eventually be tied into the blast gate on the right side of the one for the woodshop.
I turned a few pens today and I'm really pleased with the way this thing works.
