Workshop Cleanup: Adding a Dust Collector to a Mobile Clamp Rack
Having our own DIY workshop in our garage is a huge deal to us as Remodelaholics, but often the workshop is even more neglected than other not-so-tidy areas of the house. I’ve been fighting the uphill battle of working in a cleaner shop for a long time. A cleaner workshop with less time spent tidying up means more time for projects, so today I’m showing you how I took a stand against the dust and combined my mobile clamp rack tool storage with a dust collector for a great two-fer for the workshop. Now that I’ve got this handy mobile dust collection system the shop has never been cleaner and more enjoyable to work in.
This video part of a series where I’m cleaning up my woodshop and making improvements along the way, so be sure to check out the other posts here and the other videos in the playlist — and don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel, too!
