I guess we'd really better keep you away from the coin operated laundry,
eh? You could waste a whole day just watching the dryer.<g>
I think you need a hobby. Ever consider woodworking? Er, ah, never mind.

There's product # 10247 from US Plastics. A translucent 55 gallon drum
liner made of LDPE with 24MIL walls. You may need to build a frame for
it.

$20.
Alternatively for $90 you can get product # 74109, which is both
plastic insert and steel barrel. No indication of wall thickness,
though.

Damn right! Think you can save money buying 9 finger gloves?
If you gotta do it and you want to do it cheap go to a fabric store
like Hancocks or similar. They have very heavy gauge PVC film (my
super drop cloth mics out at 0.021". Make a little window, few small
nuts and bolts, watch the fingers fly.

Don't run the cat through the DC and that shouldn't happen.

The last thing you want to be looking at when making table saw cuts is your
dust collector. Go to the coin laundry, watch the machines spin around for a
couple of hours, get it out of your system, then get back to woodworking.

ahhh...sorry. I meant to explain.
Its to make a chip collector for a dust collection system. Id like to watch
it work. I currently use a 20gal rubbermaid and the output of it goes to
the DC intake and filter/bag. The bag is clear plastic. I was hoping to
make the chip collector clear as well to check fill but really to enjoy
watching it work.

Excellent idea. Than when it turns red you'll know you've run some
body part into whatever machine you're using, because of not paying
attention. Let us know when it happens, so we can nominate you for the
Darwin Awards.

Today's kids have it too easy. For $2.98 they buy a scale model of an
atomic submarine. No need to tinker or think! That boys, is where
the kick is.

Is this used for your DC? If so you can make a 4x4 or 4x8 inch window
in the side of a metal trash can. Use 1/8" thick plexiglass, caulk,
and sheet-metal screws to secure it. Put the window at the level
where you want to empty the trash can. Works great--no more lifting
the can to tell if it's full.

I don't know if I would be comfortable putting out garbage that dogs and
racoons could actually see.
