FIXED: Dust collector down please do not use planer jointer or sawstop until fixed

The dust collection barrel was dropped and the rim has deformed making it impossible to seal to the lid. All of the machines connected to DC require dust collection to work properly and avoid being damaged.

IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE BARREL MAY BE EASILY BENT BACK INTO ROUND. Rustin will try to make it in around noon to assess the damage.
I will not be back at Make until Sunday.

If anyone feels particularly competent to fix the barrel, you have my blessing.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I will update here as the situation evolves.

Thanks, and happy making!

All fixed!

Happy making!

Edit: thanks Rustin for doing the fixing and big thanks to the mystery-maker who reseated the jointer button!
