I took some time to make some needed improvements on my penturning rig.
I found that the dust collector wasn't working good,the inside of the bag had little CA crystals,as sometimes I was too much in a hurry to discoonect the bag when doing the finishing.I like to have the fumes sucked away from me,so I do use the vac.
The hood & hose was pretty CA'd up too.I had a spare new hose but it was a little short.I used some hard elbows to make it work.I think that should help in the air flow too,as it's more uniterupted.
So I made a quick-de-tach setup so I can switch out between the 2 hose/hoods so the new hood should stay nice & clear a long time I'm hoping.
I made some other organizing improvements too,so it should be more enjoyable,since I have so little workspace to work with.
I posted pics and captions for my Uncle Mike to read,and thought someone here might like to see them too,so I posted this note.
