    Most of you probably don't care, but I'm pretty impressed. One of my customers wrote an article on how to make a silencer box for a shop vac, and used some of my product - the article will be in next month's Fine Woodworkng Magazine:

    Link to short Video

    Veneer specialist Thomas R. Schrunk has found an easy solution to the noise generated by a shop vac. He constructed a box from 3/4-in. particleboard, lined it with acoustic padding, parked the vacuum inside, and shut the door. In this exclusive video, you can hear how much of a difference that makes.

    Schrunk's box is as effective as many hearing protectors, producing a 25-decibel reduction in sound. That takes the vacuum down from a loud scream to a level below that of average conversation.

    Cool I guess. Did the same thing to my air compressor. The only thing is I could see your shop vac over heating in that box.

    Nice!

    How about you make something to silence some exhaust on my car, but not restrict the flow or power!! :)

    No sweat, just let me know how much and what day you want to meet. Mondays and Tuesdays are generally booked.
