The best laid plans often go awry...

Time these days is somewhat of a precious commodity and time spent in the workshop even more so. What time I do have I tend to plan out in meticulous detail, usually while my wife is asking me to do something. As much as I expect things to go smoothly, entropy often extends its leg to trip me up. It’s the way of the universe after all. The issue here was with my dust collector. I had neglected to install a baffle plate (long story), which led to chips collecting in the filter and the fine dust canister. It announced it had enough with a loud pop and the entire filter dropped down. The pictures tell a better story than I can…

Humm, that’s not good.

Humm, that’s not good.

Bags full too….

Ummmm, that’s not supposed to be there…

Pretty sure I lost my hepa rating.
