Ally and I were watching Tommy MacDonald build some bird houses on Rough Cut and decided we’d do something creative today. Off to Lowes for supplies and in a couple hours, Ally learned how to use some power tools and we have the yard ready for the birds when they return in the spring.
No paint – no frills, just pure bird house they way they like it.

I just bought a new filter for my shop vac and after one session with the planer it was caked in dust and chips. Tired of cleaning this out, I decided I would make a chip separator to keep the bulk of the material away from the VAC.
The 3d Printable parts and instructions are located over at Thingiverse.
Left Hose – Intake
Right Hose – to Shop Vac
Catches the bulk of the sawdust and chips.
After filling up the separator, just a little dust in the bottom of the Shop Vac and the filter was clean.
