I need a way to automatically turn on my dust collection system any time I use the woodworking tools in my workshop. But all of the existing solutions I found were too expensive and not customizable. I really don't want to spend 50 or $60 on something that doesn't work the way I want it to. So let's see if I can find a way to use a couple $8 Smart switches to automatically turn on my desk collection system.

If you're like me you have creative ideas and sometimes they get trapped inside your mind. Here on Byte Sized Engineering I make project videos that get you excited about unleashing your inner maker and making those creative ideas a reality!

You shouldn’t need an engineering degree to make your ideas a reality. I suffered through years of engineering school so you don’t have to. I know how it feels to want to make something I’m excited and passionate about, but also feel overwhelmed by not knowing where to start. I’ve unlocked the secret to getting past this feeling of being stuck. In my videos I show you how to take complex problems and break them down into smaller, more manageable “byte sized” pieces.
