"Some Mistakes provide Too many Learning Opportunities to Make only Once".
Take one EF garlic hot dog and call me in the morning.
Seriously, savory is better than sweet, anyhow. You aren't missing a thing. I never had that piece of pie I mentioned.
In fact (this is a true story), the EF was apparently sold a year or two ago.
It is Sunday morning as I write this. I have two teenage daughters (well, one of them is 20 now but still). They consume vast quantities of fruit. So this morning I went to my local purveyor of fruits, where I was selecting a honeydew and a cantaloupe. I noticed they had a stack of EF pies, so I took a look at them, and they didn't look good.
The crust, which was one of the strong points previously, looked almost undercooked. Not brown enough. In the past they had always gotten the mix of butter, sugar, and cooking time just right so the top crust was almost like an armor. Not these pies. The top crusts looked thin, and soft.
So you aren't missing a THING, I tell you.
In any event, I'm trying to reduce refined sugar in my diet. I don't really desire it any more, anyhow. If I'm hungry for a snack I'd much rather have half a cheese sandwich (with the tangy zip of Miracle Whip, and not that light crap).

I have a Thien baffle on a DC and it works. I don't have a scientififc test but if improves my shop maintenance. It definitely is a worthwhile addition.
I don't see why the forum police don't pull the plug on such a negative posting which is so one sided!
It died in April.
Veni Vidi Vendi Vente! I came, I saw, I bought a large coffee!
I built the Thien Baffle out of 3/4" plywood using the 32 gallon brute trashcan. It works very well, above 95% efficient. In four months there is only 1" of dust in the bottom of my delta vacuum clear plastic bag and I have not had to take the hose off of the Delta vacuum even once for debris clogging just before the impeller, because the Thien baffle is so good. I have owned the dust deputy with the 5 gallon bucket and it was good, but Thien's baffle is better. I am getting ready to build the 5 gallon baffle and hope I get as good of results as with my 32 gallon baffle. Thanks again Phil for the wonderful design. I also built your mortising jig out of starboard for the Dewalt DWP611 router which is also awesome. I do not know Phil and have never even emailed him, but wanted to defend this unjustified attack. Thanks again for your great design and documentation.
