Is this forum still active? I have not seen a new post for about 2 weeks now.
for some reason this forum sems to be like that . there arnt enough changes being made to the design to create a discusion all the time.
it is usually newbies that create a discussion
I was starting to wonder if I was having a problem?
There tend to be pickups at the beginnings of seasons. So at the beginning of summer when some people can get back into a shed-shop (for example), I notice a pickup in the # of posts. Likewise when fall/winter come around and some people find themselves stuck inside more, I see another pickup. But the periods between changes the # of posts tends to dwindle.
I've shifted over from monkeying in the shop to outdoor projects, fishing, camping and generally lazing in the sun. It's summer time.
I did empty my dust bag the other day –first time since my top-hat got installed. I was pleasantly surprised by the limited amount of fines in the bag. It's working great. I sucked up a nitrile glove the other day and it found it's way below the baffle. I may have to run that through again and watch what it does.

Woodworking for me is a hobby that fills my time in the winter when days are short, nights are long, and humidity is low. If I spend time in the shop in spring or early summer, it is to finish a project that I started so it doesn't drag on into another winter. If I start work in the fall, it is because there is something on some family member's X-mas wish list.
The last three winters were primarily projects for myself, a roll-around table with drop wings for my miter saw, a long dreamed of router table with storage and a Jessem lift, and this year a wheeled storage unit that parks in the dead space under my drill press. And of course, I am always adding to or modifying my dust collection system.
So, if I am a little quiet these days, it is because I am out playing golf, or at least pretending I can still play!
