When we were kids living at home, he had a similar system. It was called the "me and my brother clean the garage" system. I especially hated cleaning that damn thing after he'd been running the thickness planer. That thing spit out sawdust EVERYWHERE.

A full vacuum system would be the shit!
My planer is one of the few things I have a big shop vac hooked to and it needs emptied often, but there is still spilliage.
Have a small shop vac hooked to the router table, but my saws all make a lot of dust, and the jointer makes chips that go everywhere.
kccrows input in this thread about blade depth on the table saw is going to help some I think. I tried that this morning and it was a big improvement.
Did your Dad only do this as a hobby, or was he doing it professionally as well?
What your Dad did with that oak is not easy and it looks professional.
I am building a book case out of oak right now and it is much more difficult to work with than the cedar.
