Finally building something and feeling pretty good about myself. Go to use my Ridgid OSS and think, man I knew the dust collection was crap, but this is ridiculous.
It's in my eyes, all over the workpiece, just miserable.
Well after I got done with the band saw, I used the shop vac to BLOW OUT the garage.
Turns out the dust collection works much better when the hose is in the vacuum side.?
What a maroon!

Whew, I thought I was the only one that ever did that, more than once even,
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

I did it myself a few days ago. It's called "getting in a hurry" and not paying attention. Usually, when that happens with me it's a trip to the Emergency Room to get stitches. Glad it was just a mess and not bloodshed!

Yup. Turned everything off and got a shower. Took it as a sign that it was time to call it a day.
