I have completed building (to use the term loosely) a cart to use as a stack for my shop vac and dust separator.

The catch? All the wood, plywood, and particleboard are leftover pieces I have been hanging on to go over 5 years. Adding to the intrigue? The plywood and particleboard are a small amount too small for a 24" by 24" base.

I removed the wheels on the shop vac, so it would fit on the base. I plan to remove the wheels on the dust separator as well.

I will use the black hose which came withe shop vac to run between the vac and the separator, as the included hose withe the fust separator is too short for use with the stack configuration.

I put the wheels on Monday afternoon, and the shop vac attachments shelf Tuesday morning.

The vac suction seems to be better, as I have eliminated the "S" with two 90° bends (from the vac to the separator) using the hose that came with the Dust Right separator.

I really to make something similar. I made a separator with a 35 gal plastic drum and simply got hoses stretched between it, the connected tool and the shopvac. Meanwhile the gap along wall where there is space got a pegboard full of stuff I need to relocate so it’s kind of on back burner until I relocate pegboard or trip over a hose.

I finished the prototype chair using some red oak I had laying around. Now for the real thing using lessons learned and walnut. I didn’t really expect the prototype chair to end up usable so looking at some stain to match. View attachment 243561View attachment 243562

Had idea for similar leg to support open side of a desk top if my wife opts for a single pedestal of drawers. Like this style - may look good with a slab top.

I have been on the quest for about 5-7 years to complete my shop.. Over sized 2 car garage, with a alcove 9x10 off on the side.. I have now 4 carts, for all my power tools.. Move the cars out an in 10-15 min I have my shop.. arrange the carts depending on the schedule of what needs building / cutting drilling. For an extra leg.. I have two boards.. with 2 slots running vertical..an 1/4-20 threaded knobs slide together or expand for level the wing, plus it also makes it compact. I also use either 1/2-3/4 EMT Tubing.. adding a dowl in the tube with epoxy and screw an 1/4-20--3/8-16 threaded inserts I can adjust the leg pads with uneven floor or again leveling a wing on my carts..

Nothing exceptional. Chair for patio room to fit the chair cushions we got a while back. Kind of ass backward but at least they are standard size cushions in case they need to be replaced. Used leftover cedar from trimming out the patio room. All I had was 3/4 planed out boards so glued up the leg/arm sections. Just simple half laps. Back and seat have a 3/4” strip to create a 3/4” x3/4” rabbet to support the 3.5” wide seat and back slats. Wife said it’s comfortable so a win. Guess I’ll have to do a foot rest soon.

What style is it... or it's your style.. I don't know furniture style.. Nice looking how many did you make ?

I am still working on finishing half done projects. I still have a whirligig and at least 3 clocks. There is a few more in the stack. I get sidetracked. OH! LOOK! Squirrel!

Squirrel. Where? LOL
I'm with you. I get distracted pretty easily. Then I pull out all kinds of tools, start something new and then get interrupted. When I go back to the shop, I have to clean up all the stuff I left out before I can start (or finish) anything.
The answer is a bigger shop. That's always the answer.

Just one. Not enough cedar for two. Originally drew up a modified Adirondack style that would have same basic seat/back angle (approx 10 deg) and seat height - senior cranky back and knees compatible. But wanted something more “cushion-able” for my wife’s preference so came up with this - sort a modified pallet style seat and back. Think I put this seat at 15” figuring a 3” compressed cushion should end up around 16-17” - we aren’t tall and it fits well. Seen a number of patio chairs in both metal and wood similar so measured the cushions and made the chair to fit. Drew it up in CAD to be sure I got dimensions right to attach seat/back unit to arm/leg units. Can’t say it fits a style. Most of my past work was shaker and early American and it’s definitely neither.

Isn't so much fun getting old... I am the same way...

Maybe you can start a trend an call it your name / style of chair. Sam Maloof Rocker had his name..

I hate thinking about all the partial projects and parts of future projects I’ve been hauling around for 40 yrs! This is 4th (and thankfully final) move in 11 yrs so finally got a place for both workshop and places to actually measure for things to fit into the rooms. Meanwhile, new projects keep the diversions plentiful. And I feel your pain about the shop that needs cleanup and rearranging equipment to accommodate the next project. I’ve already overflowed the shop for the lathe, grinder cabinet, bandsaw and scroll saw - thank goodness for casters!

Old biz name was Bittersweet Furniture. But those designs were all early American. My guess is this one is probably taken by IKEA.

You could do the Saw Dust Chair.. ..

Still working through the "scrap" that I acquired from @Mike Davis cleaning up his shop.

The cherry I had leftover from the cabinet project. White oak and sapele from Mike. I made a mistake but was able to cover it up with a couple of small pieces of walnut accents at the handle.

Just a small housewarming gift for a coworker.

Thanks.

I don't have a "brand" and it'd look like crap if I tried to do it by hand. I have created a logo that could be laser engraved. Thought was to put it on some thin medallions and inset them.

One of these days maybe
