Very good point. I never really thought about the mini-split, but it seems to be better than my ideas about a rigged up window unit. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I think I might try that this weekend. The less black dust in the air for me, my kids, my pets, or my wife to breathe, the better. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

One thing that might help you, which wouldn't fit in my limited space is to get a large plastic tub, cut out the bottom, put an air filter in the hole, and hook it up to the shop vac. It would only pick up the black dust if anything...

Thank you the the great reply. Please post pics as your build progresses. I'd love to see it. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Yes. One of the wheels was out of balance. However, it was a good excuse for me to make the sander attachment, which is much more useful to me. After using it for a while, I am considering modifying it to take a 4" belt instead of the 2" belt I have been using.

I think I've got it figured out. I will put a "Y" near the vacuum intake, with one branch for wood dust. The other branch I will use for metal grinding. I'll use the bucket with water, like a water bong, to put out any hot metal. I'll use the magnet after that (GREAT idea, by the way). As...

Looks like window unit wins. Since this is in my garage, which has no windows, and I'm not keen on putting a big hole in the brick wall, maybe run the exhaust up through the ceiling to a roof vent? There isn't a really easy solution but summer is just too hot to not try something, especially...

I found some plans online from: http://badlandbuggy.com/product/st3-two-seater-buggy/

So a while back I started smelling gas in the backyard, not very strong at first, but gradually it did get stronger. I figured out that it was the old gas manifold on my Weber grill. The thing was so badly corroded / disintegrated / rusted, it's a miracle something bad didn't happen. I built...

Re: Dune Buggy Build 1/2 Thank you kindly for helping out!

I was thinking of doing that and still hooking it up to the vacuum system, kind of like a water bong / hookah. Thoughts?

I'm having issues with my computer today. Hoping this works better. My Harbor Freight bench grinder started vibrating to the point of being useless. Instead of just replacing their crappy grinding wheel, I made a custom belt sander attachment. It'll be a lot more useful fabricating parts for...

I'm going to re-post it with a link to a video. Much higher quality, and definitely a video is worth a thousand pictures.

Re: Dune buggy pics part 2/2 Well, I am learning as I go. Since I made the frame with mild steel, I think the motor will be a snow mobile motor, but I haven't committed to that yet. I have a few other projects to work on first, but the next thing for the buggy is going to be the suspension...

Dune buggy pics part 2/2 Final post of dune buggy pics. Need to upgrade some tools to get the suspension completed.
