I have moved into my new shop that I had built after our move form Minnesota to Florida and have started to get it set up. I have four projects underway in parallel with setting up the shop, so I am splitting my time between projects and shop setup. I expect it will take some time to get the shop set up the way I want it, but that's OK. Part of the process is deciding what I want in the new space. BTW this shop has to be categorized as one of those "dream come true" moments for me! I came from basically a "shop" in half of my double-car garage up north. I used an expandable hose Dust Right system from Rockler to move the portable hose end from machine to machine. I now have the luxury of a more permanent setup. I decided to use 4" thin wall PVC drain pipe and fittings, as these are readily available at the local Lowes and relatively inexpensive.
Today I needed a Y fitting to install at my dust collector so that I can have a run going in each direction along the wall at the collector. Lowe's didn't have a Y, but I figure if I can cut and glue wood, I can cut and glue PVC. This is a Y that I made out of two 90 degree long run fittings. I got the fit good enough to secure with PVC cement, but if there were a gap I figured I could fill it with either a mixture of PVC shavings and acetone or silicone sealer, but neither was required.
I have a couple other tricks I'll be posting shortly as this project unfolds.
