(((Finally got a chance to play some today. Started work on the Dust Collection boxes for the Router table. I Needed an access door to change motor speeds so I scavenged some old hinges from a storage cabinet i tore down
Little forstner bit and Drill press action and im ready
Added a 1.5 radius to the corners so i wont gash my self open while changing speeds
These will attach to the bottomof the router table with L brackets from CShardware and also have a 4" port at bottom for dust extraction

Very nice, that should get most of the router dust. :eusa_danc Good point about changing the router speeds. I have the same lift which makes above-the-table bit changes possible, but you still need to get to the little wheel. Kind of primitive, when you think about it. Wonder which mfg. is going to supply a router with a remote for that.
Your boxes with doors makes me (self) dope slap :BangHead::BangHead:
I recently built a scrap wood dust containment box around my (TS extension) router... very pleased with myself!!
Then I went to use the setup and needed to adjust bit height... and realized I had a choice of
1. tearing down my setup with fence position and lift the router plate
or 2 - tearing open the box I had just built.
I chose #1.
I had neglected to consider that sometimes needed adjustment and built a solid box - not allowing access to the router motor and the bit height adjustment (PC 690 router)!!!!! Lesson learned - although I still haven't created that access door.

I think MLCS has the motorized router lift IIRC
I love the PRL.
I Love woodpeckers so much they all hang out at my house lol
Third box is finished and Im happy to be back on track.
Think Ill have the port exit the rear of the box to minimize depth towards the floor I need somewhere to store sheet goods flat

I actually need to take a lot of notes here. Unlike my last place where the shop shared everything and it's brother with the garage, in the new place, it is dedicated. It is about the size of a long single car garage though. YOu have already given me some great ideas.
Got a cool new upgrade put in tonight.
After messing with heavy hoses and cheap reels for years I finally found Flexzilla hoses
Best hose Ive used.
No memory and lighter than anything in its size range.
This reel is a Levelwind design that lays the hose flat across the reel when retracted. Makes for Really smooth operation.

Nice looking setup there,like the hinged access.

Wow! I'm glad I stumbled on this thread. I'm getting ready to break ground on my shop/garage. I'll incorporate several of your ideas into my shop. Organization is one of the issues I have to deal with. Thanks for all the ideas and keep up the great work. Love the shop, the layout, the use of all the little spaces!
