Hi Folks,
I'm finally getting around to clearing out the garage and now have a bit more money available so should be able to make a half decent (for a beginner) bench without resorting to too many bodges; this has got me thinking again about how best to set it all up.
On the dust front I'm probably going to go with something like Mike Garnham has shown on here (it was mentioned in the drift on this thread with more pictures on page 3 of the same) built to fit into a convenient spot somewhere... I'm not sure what to use to give suction though.
I like the idea of using a vacuum cleaner as Mike did - but I don't really want something too loud if I can help it. Are the Henry type vacs reasonably quiet? If not, can you suggest something quiet I can get fairly cheaply? (I'll buy used rather than new for the sake of a few bob I'd be better spending on wood for my bench and storage)
Are there any affordable (considerably sub-£100 - sub £50 would be far better) alternatives to Henry (or domestic vacs) I could use?
