I'm talking about storage for the dust collector accessories. They are all stored in a bucket right now. This is not what I consider good organization. I've been trying to find a better way. I had a rack built on the dust collector for awhile but that did not work. At least it did not work the way I had it for all the attachments I have.

I missed this comment about dust collector accessory storage.
What I did was when my rigid tubes cracked I ordered a replacement. What I did then was took the two cracked tubes and glued them together hence solving the problem of the crack and the two replacements and I mounted a board across the back of the DC3300. On this board I mounted two hose connectors salvaged from some fexible hose that was no longer any good (stepped on too many times). On these connectors I slip the rigid tubes which go up through the back handle. Since I have two I store my floor brush on one and the smalled nozzle on the second. I then wrap the flex hose around the upper dust bag and store my brush nozzle on that. Result I have my two sets of rigid tubes, my two sections of flex hose my floor nozzle, my narrow nozzle and my brush nozzle all mounted on my DC3300 and movable anywhere in the shop.
I wish I had a picture but if you look at the DC3300 behind the lower (clear Plastic) dust bag bove the wheels you will see a casting that would hold a piece of wood about 3-4 inches wide and long enough to span the cast. I drilled holes in the wood to recieve the salvaged hose connector and hot glue them into place. The rigid dust tubes stand between these connectors and are supportted by the DC3300 rear handle.

Excellent solutions to some very common problems (problems we all have).
I like the ten (10) suitcases you have for piece parts too. So far, I only have four (4).
You take care when you sneak out into the shop now. Three more weeks and counting. OR - did the doctor cut you lose? If he did, I hope he didn't make a mistake.

Dusty The surgeon has lifted some cautions. However the shop is still generally off limits. The Physical Therapist says at least two months before I can do much in the shop. The real boss says forget it every time I think about doing anything but look longingly at anything in the shop. I did manage to do a bit of one handed rearranging in the shop. I am also planning to drill out the mounts for the dust collection tree on my cabinet and improve the way they mount. I think I can do that one handed. If the house doesn't sell before I get to make sawdust again I will have the best organized and cleanest shop in Virginia, yeah right. fjimp

Hi Gentlemen,
did you ever complete this project?
I've just bought a second SS mark v with belt sander, jointer, strip sander, thickness planer, band saw, and various accessories.
I already have quite a lot of construction tools and I have a small 3/4 car garage... :-/

The Greatness officially starts
Greenie, Grayling, SS stand alone BS and BS SPT, jointer and belt sander, 3 Ers with Speed Changers. I think those 3 cover my ER needs, and space for them.
Why thank you, although it's getting more crowded since the 3rd shopsmith purchase. Lol at least everything is on wheels.
Mine too, mobility is a nice thing!!!
