Here is the first Luthier Tips du Jour video of the year. In this video I show how a solution for storing my broom and dustpan.
This video as well as all my other videos are available via my website, https://lutherieacademy.com/videos , or on YouTube.
Don't forget to subscribe to the O'Brien Guitars YouTube channel if you want to get the latest Luthier Tips du Jour videos when they are released.

You could just vacuum your floor using a flexible hose from your dust collector instead.

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

firstly, I'm not attempting to dis you

but...

then you have to empty your dust collector bag more often
sometimes things get sucked up you might not want in the collector
it can actually take more time

that being said, I many times prefer to at least sweep it all into a nice neat pile, then decide if I want to vacuum it or dustpan it

it's quieter also ;)
