Does this garbage can lifter really need to be this complex?

Emptying my dust collector has always been a huge hassle. It jostles the whole system and knocks my hoses out of whack. Plus it's time consuming and messy. Let's make it better

Very nice build, interesting approach! So many things can be done with a “four bar planar linkage”. The architect’s lamp on my computer table, and the floor lamp by my chair are just examples. And links of unequal length can produce all kinds of motion. I’ve also seen people build workbenches with integrated jobsite saw or planer that pull out and lift into position using this same kind of linkage. Also saw the video of your camera stand. Got me to wondering if this could be used for a mobile base (table saw, assembly table, etc) with retractable casters. Stay safe!

4:42 - saw the table saw kickback a narrow sliver of wood. Good thing it didn't hit you. To remove wood that thin, best to use a planer or jointer with multiple passes. It'll square it as well. Nice solution here though.

I want to say this was a calculated move, since the piece wasn’t between the fence and the blade it was controlled and I saw it coming. But. This is also why my planer needs to be much more readily available. It’s a pain to roll out and use so I don’t. Thanks for shining light on this.
