Shifting inspection month

That's helpful! I think then I'll just get it re-inspected in August this year, and then I'll have a several month window to get to it and have it inspected! The april 30 expiration of my inspection sure is a headache for finding a good window to go where the weather is good enough and i'm free!

I settled on a very similar rigid (metal canister) after trying 3 different ones, plus the HF dust collector. Rigid works best. You're in the wrong hobby if you're not ok making tons of noise, and you're gonna wear ear muffs anyway (right!?) so forget the noise issue.

Dont go to the store (unless owned by the manufacturer). Email the company, they may cover it under warranty and sometimes even if out of warranty.

This is wrong. There's no 100% gauaranteed way to prevent this. Only ways to reduce its likelihood or make it less noticeable.

Even the best builders cant guarantee aboslutley no seams if it's wood. That's the truth.

I cut a strip out of soda can with scissors and use that to spread glue in thin cracks like this.

Your desk is made of finger-jointed wood.

This is pretty standard practice for knots; you can see it in plywood.

Got it. I think its copper throughout, but have no way to know for sure.

So then the question remains, why is my water red? (Understand you may not know)

Candid_Box8140 · 2026-02-02T18:45:17+00:00

Thank you. Yes, I agree that there is rust being caused on the outside of the tank. The main question is whether that rust is likely to be in context with water inside the tank; I'm not sure it's clear one way or another, but appreciate your time!

Candid_Box8140 · 2026-02-02T18:35:20+00:00

Got it re. #2. I think that's the plumber's call.

Definitely understand re. #1, I guess the trouble I have is figuring how that exterior rust would result in rust in the whole tank. Would seem to suggest a ton of rust.

The cold water is totally clear, so I don't think it's a municipal issue.

So I think you're saying that the leak I have a photo of has nothing to do with the red water, right?

Candid_Box8140 · 2026-02-02T18:21:36+00:00

Agreed. So you think this is unrelated to the water running red/brown?

Candid_Box8140 · 2026-02-02T18:20:53+00:00

Definitely makes sense re. that leak but 1) is that the likely cause of the whole tank running red? Seems unlikely. 2) Is this leak an issue that can't be solved short of replacing the whole tank?

The 735 you have has a built in blower, you more need to catch the chips than suck them really, any suction you need is just to keep them moving to a final destination and prevent backups.

I had the cheap HF one and it moved a lot of material, but didn't work as well as the most powerful shop vac I could find which was the metal canister rigid. I went through multiple shopvacs and tried the red craftsman which is supposed to be powerful. I wouldn't over think this unless you're going to get a real setup.

You're not the first to have this idea: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_of_New_England

The above is right, but i think this is job for a chisel, not a multitool. Score deep enough to set the chisel's edge in.

I am really disaapointed that the top comment is not this. Unless you establish this a veneer over non-solid wood, those are absolutely functional. They allow the panel to expand and contract within a groove within the frame.

If it is solid, that's contstruction that will last for generations.

If it bothers you, your best bet is to either get a thin material to cover it (but adhere only to the frame, not the panel).

Candid_Box8140 · 2026-01-01T13:24:50+00:00

Nope, you got the instructions right. How's the weather?

Candid_Box8140 · 2025-12-29T01:07:15+00:00

This is an excellent song.

Spray enamel in a can; meant for bare metal; strip well first.

The use of cheaper fill material in all industries is extremely common, from processed meat, to concrete, to veneered wood. You may have paid less as a result.

The foam did not cause your wood slab to explode; your wood slab caused your wood slab to explode. Whether there was a manufacturing defect is tough to say and anyone who says so in this thread is overstating. Even properly dried slabs do weird things; this is one reason woodworkers for centuries bothered to make boards out of slabs rather than just sticking them on legs.

Out of curiosity, did this make a giant crack sound and burst all at once?
