Hi all,
Well i have recently moved house and i now have a proper modeling room,repairing and a limited amount of building(installation actually) was previosly done in the front room on a 3x2 foot coffee table or on my home made plane stand-an upturned ironing board.
I currently have 5 planes waiting for my attention(be patient planes,i'm nearly there) but wanted to make life easier by having some tools around,having purchased some power tools that make a fair amount of mess i considered that to keep using the hoover needed an extra hand and to make a proper system was the only way,well it took a fair amount of head scratching and thinking and of course running out of materials on a daily basis but it is very nearly finished,i have yet to install the taps which are being done(thankyou wizard) but it is useable with great effect.
The parts were brought from a local diy shop but i am sure could have been purchased cheaper with tinternet, you know how it is some things just wont wait for delivery.
The pipe is 36x1.8mm,various bends,bungs,plugs, rubber connectors and of course an old hoover in the loft which is tuned on/off with the plug switch in the said room,i even put the hoover next to a vent and removed the roller belt to help reduce the noise.
