If you take a grill grate and put it in front of the filter you could use a shop vac to unclog the filter to avoid changing the filter every time. Looks like you got some negative pressure, let the itch commence :(

Very similar to how I had mine set up. Keep a shopvac in the hull with you and every 5-10 minutes or so stop and vacuum the filter off. Also, leave a slit in the plastic on the other side of the boat so that air can get in as well, and the air flow should pull the dust right out.;) Enjoy!:rockon:

Nice project, I enjoyed reading your post tonight! I'll be following it for sure! All the fans and plastic remind me of building the paint booth that I sprayed my Sleekcraft in. I had it all figured out, so I thought! lol! Nothing like improvising in the middle of a paint job! I don't envy the grinding, just finished the bulk of that on my current project........and that is a lot of grinding you have to do sir!

Get 1 of these! Makes for fast work. This is the small one. When I was in China they were @ 30' in diameter.; Let the fun begin. :nightmare:

Wow!!! I'll take 2 small ones. Only problem is if you slip its going to use a lot of materials to repair!!!
What are they cutting?

That's a granite factory. In field cutting of granite in ground, then the blocks {big blocks} go to inside factory to slice into square blocks that are sold worldwide. Blocks are about as big as a shipping container.

KC, how do they cut the blocks out from underneath? ...I've always wondered that.

Man, you're not messing around Ahmincha. You're making quick work of that. What kind of disk are you using on the orange handled grinder?

Just like when we carve out mountainous roads hers. They drive pcs of steel rods down the cut till it pops. They manually drive the rods vs. drilling whereas they have 10 billion laborers. Some of the newer factories actually do drill. Pretty amazing to see what they do with what they have. They actually produce more stone and ship out more than Italy, who buys from them now.
Look in the back of the picture you can see some of the blocks.

Oh, I didn't know they "popped". Cool, makes sense.
