Uses for things that they're not supposed to be used for

You’re thinking like a true LumberJock. One of the best aspects of the hobby for me is the problem solving experiences. We frequently have to think, “I need this result, how can I get there?”. Or, “Here’s a problem, how can I get around it?” Over the last 2 years since I started, I look at household items differently. All those glass baby food jars and empty peanut butter jars no longer look like trash. Furniture about to go to the dump? Not before the hardware is salvaged. In your case a formerly unused attachment finds a new function. No wonder there are so many packrats here!

Great idea, I think I’ll give it a try.

Heh…my shop’s out in the country and I don’t do finishing there, so I usually just sweep up generally. Then open all 6 windows and both double doors and fire up the 200mph leaf blower….ain’t no sawdust left after that!

Boardman, I’m with you. My leaf blower is one of my favorite shop tools. Really gets the dust out of those nooks and cranies.

Good use of “garbage” Blake.

I also use my leaf blower. I open up a rear window and install an exuast fan. Of course I blow about half my tools off the walls.

I hope ya’ll wear your dust mask while performing this operation.
