It's kind of difficult to see what's happening when there is a cloud of charcoal dust hovering over the pile. I started with a rubber mallet, then used a baby sledge, and finally a wood splitting maul. I'll eventually get it right.....or just buy the activated ready to go stuff.

I use this with my table saw and miter saws. I usually just use the shop vacuum on my router table, jig saw, and biscuit joiner. I don't let either one get too full. I made several 5 gal separators for the small machines that I use a shop vac with. Edited April 30, 20197 yr by CharlieL
