A clear sky is good.

Hey
Question: My radial arm saw has no provision for catching sawdust, which just blows out through an elbow & coats everything with a layer of sawdust. It's an old Craftsman, & Sears says they don't use anything, but suggested I use one of the bags that fit chop saws. They don't fit, either; won't spread open enough. Lowe's doesn't have PVC to fit, either. I need something to slip over 1 9/16".
Any ideas? I can get a picture if it'd help.

A shopvac should fit, might not be tight, but should stay on a grab the dust when running.

Tried that, too, at Sears' suggestion. No luck...two different sizes. Even tried flexible tubing...drier vent hose. Only tried it with an old piece I had; don't know if it comes in different diameters.

Maybe some duct tape?

I’ve hooked mine up to a vacuum. It wasn’t a tight fit either. Duct tape as I remember I’ll check when I get home.

And there ya go. Beat me to it.

Maybe. I do have fans, but my chickens would probably think it was coming to eat them. That's another good idea, thanks.

Mine always run away as it first starts up but then they settle down. The fan is on thermostat and cut into their door.

BINGO!
You were right; one of those links gave me an idea. I went back to the dryer vent hose to see if I could come up with something.

This is what it looked like to begin with



The end was the same size as the neck I was trying to get it onto. So I broke out the hacksaw & cut it off, back to the beginning of the ribs, which are a tad larger, & ended up with

Necessity really is the mother of invention.
Thanks

Will a chicken blow up if they swallow a snapper? And if they peck at it, making it go off, will it hurt them?

I don’t know about that but watermelon seeds will sprout cause my mom told me so.

I think I have a few packets of that, but it only covers a gallon of water

The package I showed is a concentrate. It makes 128 gallons per package. Or .97gms per gallon for smaller batches. Here it costs less than $3 per package. It is also universal as far as variation of livestock it treats.
