Project Of The Day : Weeze's Office

Lastly is a mod I had to do to endure sanding all these panels.
I have a very good hepa filter sanding system vacuum deal that staves off the emphysema pretty well. Plus a 2 micron air filter on the ceiling. Plus a big dust collector. Plus I wear a dust mask. All that cause I've had pneumonia twice and worked in really nasty construction climates for lots of years. My lung xrays look really shitty, so I go to great lengths to take care of them nowadays.
My belt sander defies all that healthy stuff. It just has a bag on it and it throws dust everywhere. When the shop is closed up it's a huge problem.
So I modified the pig by making an adapter plate that allows me to plug in my hepa vac. It's still not remotely ideal, but it'll do. I just need to switch from a dust mask to a respirator when I'm sanding. OOooo, fun.
So here's the genius modification...
