every few days, I shovel the shavings up into 30 gallon drums and tote them off to various places for fill, mulch, etc. Black Walnut shavings go where I don't want plants growing. If the lathe area is super clean, it calls me to turn some more. I would like to spend more time turning and less cleaning. I have a 35 gallon shop vac and use that for the stuff the shovel and broom miss. But I get tired of cleaning out the shop vac. and brushing the dust out of the filter folds. When I was a kid, my dad knew an Amish turner who just opened the rear doors of the shop and used compressed air to blow the shavings out the back doors, which were about 4 foot above the ground Folks would come from all around to get shavings.
