    Sanding hood

    My sanding hood I made so I don't have to wear a dust mask.

    Reed, that's a clever hood. I happened to wonder over to another of your vids...turning a bowl with scrapers. Well done and certainly dispels notions that a scraper, used properly, can do pretty much anything.
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Reed,

    Why don't you start two more threads about your other two (2) new videos. I liked them and am sure that a lot of others would really appreciate them also.
    Thanks for showing us.
    Dave

    Thanks Reed. Makes me want to upgrade. I just use a cardboardbox on the end of a 6" hose that half wraps around the turning. It does make a world of difference!

    pretty ingenious ............. is the cut out in the back center where the dust hose is connected? Is there any special fitting on the connection with the dust hose? Some pics of the back would be nice.

    The vent on the back is like a floor vent, and the hose comes off parallel to the lathe bed. You can just see the hose through the acrylic. You can buy sheet stock of that type of plastic from supply places. That barrel is 1/4 inch thick, but the sheet stock does come thinner.

    Good idea !
    I've been thinking of building something to help contain the water spray when turning "wet wood" and this gives me some ideas now.
    thanks

    I'm sure Reed is too modest to mention it, but his excellent (for-sale) video on using the McNaughton coring system also shows the dust hood in action.

    Along with the obvious and significant advantages for repertory health, this is an EXCELLENT way to keep the lathe bed dry when water sanding.

    Thank you for posting the video. I'll be making one of these soon!
