New Toy!! Dust Collector

This beauty is a 3 HP Grizzly Cyclone dust collector.  We bought this around Christmas time and it has been sitting in my shop since then.  Needless to say, it came in many, many boxes.  Finally got the stand and the main part put together on Saturday.  The instructions say to assemble the stand, lay it down and then build the main part; the motor, and all the other stuff, laying down.  Then grab all able bodied men to help stand it up.  Scott and I tried and tried to stand it up.  Finally called in the neighbors, 6 of them!!!  We got it stood up, then moved to where I wanted it.

A little to the left, a little to the right.  Pull it out from the wall a bit. 

Now comes all the fun stuff of connecting all the big saw dust producers to the dust collector.  The pipe below is a treasure I found on KSL Classifieds.  A woodshop was closing and this guy was getting rid of his Norfab pipe.  Paid $200 for what I bought.  He said it was worth over $2,000.  Got a pretty good deal.

The Norfab pipe was sitting in the corner of the shop since I built the shop, so it's nice to get that out and cleared out of the way to get the dust collector set up and going.
