It hasn't made the new here at all and I'm struggling to get information.

I did go for an all singing and dancing air scrubber though. <br />I really should do some more videos but find it slows me down so much that it puts me off. I should do some simple review ones really if nothing else. I am going to try and do a series on my other blog this year where I'm going to make sure I'm carving or turning something every week! I really want to focus more on my craft side of things - I've just posted about my new sharpening bench over there now.I've also just ordered the Paulk smart bench plans and I'm looking to make that soon (homeschooling allowing) and hoping that will be another part of the jigsaw that is my small workshop. I feel like I'm making great use of space in there for what I manage to turn out and it keeps changing as I go forward with it.

I suppose if its smaller it should be lighter to empty. I got one of their trade airfilters before christmas and within an hour i noticed how much better the air in the workshop was. <br />Are you going to be doing any more youtube vidoes?Ashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17308311022457156480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3078806588853616263.post-32626689951348419402021-01-05T11:46:49.970+00:002021-01-05T11:46:49.970+00:00Yeah that would work well I think.

Might have an idea for that though and I'll be building number 4 in a few weeks time and I might make a video of making it.

I think that the main downside with this is that it's awkward to change the bag and it doesn't take long to fill up. I've also ordered a workshop air filter/scrubber as trying to take dust a bit more seriously.

The thought had crossed my mind as well and I'd even ordered some but need to make another mobile chicken coop first. The ducks make such a mess moving them about would be ideal really.
