Catching the little cutouts

[northie66]

Anybody ever hook anything under their saw to catch the cutouts that fall through the hole?  I think I might try to make something.  That way when I blow the sawdust out, there won't be hunks of wood with it.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Janet, Look at Jimbo's post under dust collection. He has built something like that.

k... thanks dgman!

Oh yeah... I see now.  It's like a box.  I suppose it's hooked to the table.

I'm sure Jimbo will tell you about it when he comes on.

The bottom shelf is screwed to the saw table and the outer cover just sits there it is wedged on, I have a domestic vac through the side to take away the dust and that picks up most of the small wood peices, if you would like some photos of the exploded set up lets know but you will have to wait as I am away for a couple of weeks

I just let them fall to the floor. That way I have something to do when I am not cutting.

Mine get sucked up in the vacuum system and go out side into the flower bed.

Hey Ya'lls....  If you haven't applied a fish tank blower instead of the one that comes with the scroolsaw your missing the beauty of having a clean slate to work on.  The container I use that is secured to the table legs mostly catches any flying objects.  I also removed the sides of my scrollsaw and this makes for the shop vac. access to suck up any and all dust etc.  I also have set my scrollsaw facing a window with a osilating (sp) fan blowing any and all dust towards it.  And along with another fan to my right I am fairly cool with all the 100 degree temps. lately.  And in conclusion with a stereo (sp) system in my shop (country mostly) and 2 windows to view all the beautiful birds that I feed (oh yea that window I mentioned is OPEN) I am mostly ALWAYS happy.  Your turn guys....  :+}
