Nice set-up in the dust collector.  I have a round collection bin with a clear top and see debris swirling around in there and always wondered how a square bin would work.  I imagine the coe=rners filling in and a round bowl is created.

Thanks. Actually there’s small round  (about 18” tall) garbage pail in the box.

Job security. On the bright side, at least you can have the OH doors open. Classic old Dodge Ram PU. Don't see many of them up here anymore. Most from that era have succumbed to rust-mites.

A wee bit of GOOD NEWS today...as long as the Boss continues to work and make progress...they MIGHT be releasing her to come home, in about 2 weeks...

second coat of poly on the table this morning, after a very light sanding with 220.  looks good, should feel good later.  will deliver it to the church monday morning, that gives it 3 full days to cure up.

found one or two stray brush bristles, carefully removed them.  it'll be ok.
