I had two basic problems to solve.
#1. I needed to straighten up, and shorten up as much as possible, the hose from the separator to the dust collector.
#2. I need to maximize the utilization of my floor space.
My solution to both problems.
Build a stand to lift the DC off the ground, high enough to straighten the hose out, or as close as possible. Tape measure comes out, and it looks like I have 31 inches between the top of the DC and the ceiling... So the stand was to be 30" tall at the top surface. (29.25" legs, 3/4" top material.)
The material was to be recycled scrap from the shop. No problem. And of course the compressor would slide right under. At 27" high I have 2.25" to spare on the compressor.
Everything fits, moves in and out easily, and functions exceedingly well...
Hope this gives at least one other person an idea for shop space savings....
