What did surprise me is they use the slatwall compatible hooks, not the steel pegboard hooks. Good that I've only got to worry about one kind of hook and know they work anywhere in the shed. Of course it means I've got about 30 100mm hooks that I thought I could use but can't, guess the neighbour gets a present. At least now I know to use the hobibox small parts bins from slatbox as they work in both as well.

It's been a bit of a shed shopping weekend. Was in the $200 shop aka bunnies and came across a twin pack of Toughbuilt C700 sawhorses. Shelf price $89. Having only seen them at Sydney Tools for $219 for the same item, and getting a staff member to open the box to confirm it was the same, I bought them. They also had Toughbuilt roller stands, but no price on the shelf. As SWMBO was with me I thought it better not to push my luck!
What's also curious is the carton is clearly marked with Kincrome, yet Kincrome websites here and UK show no sign of them. So this might just be a clearance item. The Bunnings website only lists the lower spec C500 twin pack at $98.
Anyway, for the reasons I bought them they are perfect. Not too heavy, compact when folded, legs are individually height adjustable and have good sized swivel feet, and there are flip out supports on the legs to stand a sheet of ply upright off the ground. The end stops will hold up to 4x4 if you want to use them for a jobsite table, which I will do with a Paulk style top as an assembly bench. They are well made, with good cam lock style latches and are quite stable. A very well thought out work support.

Finally got some shed time again, after putting a very small dent in the wallet on some pvc stormwater pipe offcuts in 225 and 150 and a very large dent buying bends, junctions and a Flexi coupler I got most of it in over the weekend between interruptions. I'll need another 6m length of 150, but happy with how it's gone so far. At least it's off the floor and out of the way.

That 225 PVC pipe looks huge.
That poor wallet would have got a hiding
But it'll be worth it in the long run.

Yeah, the wallet is cowering in a corner and sobbing. Or was that me Hard to get my head around those few pieces of moulded pvc being the second most expensive purchase in my shed! But it's not really a choice, it's a must-have. Lungs are hard to replace.
It certainly lets the dusty move some air. Once I've got it completed and hooked up to machines I'll see how it performs, but it should give me enough capacity to upgrade to a bigger dusty in future.

Been a while since anything happened to the shed, life got in the way. Must make more shed time.
Just finished recycling some kitchen cabs into a mitre saw station, which has been way overdue. Another gumtree pickup, amazing that people discard quality stuff so readily these days. I'm not of fan of drawers in corner units normally, but these allowed use of the space while the 225 ducting fitted into what is normally dead space. A good result. Cabinets didn't come with bench tops but these were the old ones I'd replaced in my kitchen, which suited. In fact these cabs were so close in colour, SWMBO got the tambour door appliance cupboard indoors. Win, win! Can you believe this stuff was for sale for just $50? And there's more of it, I've got to figure out where to use it yet.
The saw hood is pretty much a copy of the one Chris Parks did. Some fine tuning will be needed, but it's a start.

You're right Bob, it's not really needed. But it's nice to have I didn't set out deliberately to use such a large main, but it's worked for me because I don't really want to bother with blast gates or any added complexity. I'd rather just turn the DC on and go use whatever machine is needed, and with 3x150 branches always open it dictated the size of the main. The DC is probably a bit undersized for it but it's working better than I expected.

Hi there
Those kitchen cabinets look good in there, great idea. Bench heights should be pretty close too.
Regards

Hummmm . . . . . .I wouldn't have advised that. The limitation in your system is the DC which is good for ~1800-2000 CM at most. So, with your setup you'll be getting at most about 600-700 CFM down each 150 mm duct - good for general venting of fine dust out of shed but not as good at capturing at source as gating of 2 of the 3 duct branches. If you do that you would have 1200 CFM down the open 150 mm duct. And then for how long will you only have 3 machines that need ducting?
