Wrapping Up Projects

The last project until spring is the dust control for the table saw.
It does a good job of delivering the suction to the place where the dust is generated, if not in the most elegant manner.  I could do that with the $450 attachment, but that just doesn't seem right.

The whole overhead portion pivots to allow the garage door to open.  So technically, the garage will still hold the big truck.  You might have a fine time getting out once you drove in but it will fit.
The last foot of the system is the most difficult.  I'll revisit the whole system when we get back in March.  Right now there are two vacuums involved and turning it all on is a bit tedious.
Meanwhile, the knitting also draws to a conclusion. But you know it will still be going strong after we hit the road.  There is always something needing knitting.  We've got till next Thursday to wrap it all up then it is back on the road.

I guess the coast is getting hammered with rain.  Here all we got was wind and a little overnight rain.  Otherwise, the weather remains perfect.

Stay dry.
