My newest contraption.

Not pretty, but oh my gosh does this work great. Just sweep the sawdust towards it and swoosh it's gone. I made it for the one dust collector I made portable.

Judging by the floor of your shop I'd say it works really good too!

LOL because when I showed it to my wife, she thought it was so cool, she swept the whole shop.

Ken, it would make your wife's work easier if you put a broom handle on it to save her having to bend.

Nice thought Alan, tell me when you're going to mention that idea to your wife . I figure you're only about 300 miles away I should be able to hear the ear bashing. Beside which I don't want mine to hear it.

Good idea the handle grip Ken, not seen one like that over here

Although a good idea, I want it be able to be stored right under the bag. And also, if I were to bring up that idea, I'm afraid of where the broom handle might end up. [emoji51]

Ken

more seriously how about a ball and socket joint with the socket attached to the base plate and the ball attached t9 a broom handle you could keep on a clip next to the bag?

That would work, thanks for the idea.

Ken, YOU LET YOUR WIFE IN YOUR SHOP?! This is a great idea and I might just have to copy it. Is it Patented or copyrighted ?
What is the distance between the shop floor and the floor of the sweeper unit? Thanks for sharing.

I think she did the entire shop. That's one clean and organized shop. Nice job Ken.

LOL yup, see that scroll saw in the background? That's her saw [emoji16]. The gap is 1 inch. I initially thought using some 2 x 4 that I have laying around, but then thought as close as I can get it to the floor , and still be usable, the better.

That's great Ken that you share your shop with your wife or visa versa. My wife makes custom greeting cards so a scroll saw is way out of the question for her. I have my shop, she has her craft room. Like she says, "it gives up that much needed separation". Thanks for sharing the info, I think your tool is a lot better than me trying use a broom.

Is the scrollsaw an Excaliber or a Pegas?? What does she make?? Like to see some work.

Last time my floor looked that clean was right after I finished building it.

You Sweep up????

Sawdust makes a nice cushion to walk on.
