I have bought a few dust collectors for my lathe. Wasn't satisfied with any of them so I decided to go the DIY route. This time I really like it, works well and didn't get in my way at all, through the whole process. You all in the warmer climates won't recognize the blue funnel for what it really is. I'm betting people from colder climates might recognize it as the best window scraper ever made. It fit my small shop vac like it was made for it. I just made it all out of scraps. The dust collector is the success of the day. The pen, pretty much a failure. Just your common everyday Celtic knot. I bought a small thin kerf blade and wanted to try it out on my table saw, worked pretty well. I think I'm over the single color knots, they're just to plain looking. The bottom of the pen has a gap. Not the first time with this kit and the reason I don't buy them anymore. The kit is the "Cortona". Oh well, we just have another pen to use around the house.
