This is one of the best inexpensive additions I have made to my shop. My shop vacuum filters stay clean now and I no longer have dust and sawdust billowing around in the shop while vacuuming. Dust Deputy Deluxe Cyclone Separator Dust Collection Kit | Oneida Air Systems

Doofy, I have pretty much done the same. I built my own buying a mini Deputy, a refuse bin, and a shop vac and welded up a light frame so I can roll it around and hook it up to various tools such as my sandblast cabinet.
Very nice job. Mine is just under the work bench and I have a 20 foot hose that reaches almost anywhere in the shop. It is on a smart switch and comes on automatically when tied in to various shop tools. Thinking about moving the vacuum outside so I don't have to listen to it.

Yeah, but at least the bolts come out the next time you want them too.
Hand cleaner, like GoJo will cut Never Sieze. Works good on stains too.
Rub it into the fabric really well and let it set a day or two before you wash it.

Yep I use a smart switches as well. Great to turn on one tool and have your vac turn on with it.

WD-40 cleans all that gooey adhesive that they stick labels on with.
To save sandblasting the widow in a sand blast cabinet stretch some black widow screening over the inside of the window, attach with duct tape.
Duct tape will also protect glass from sand blasting, like on a window frame or such.
That same tape does a fair job for when paint stripping also, but aluminum foil tape is the best.
Aviation uses foil tape on plexiglass when they paint strip aircraft.
Another recent discovery.
Fine auto body rubbing compound does a super job of cleaning up baked on gunk on stove tops and oven doors.

This is easy to make out of 3/4" wood scraps for deep impact sockets. Easy to carry, hinge on wide side, gate latch on other, bent around.

Yep, that should work OK.
I also use it to renew yellowed headlight lenses. There it does great. (you wonder where the yellow went)
LOL, in a pinch toothpaste and elbow grease will also do the trick as it is an ultra mild abrasive.
