It was an object lesson in the amplification of acoustic energy! It would have been even louder, and the tone even better if the base board had been thinner!

Hmmm. We'll see. I'm going to build the impeller anyway. Part of my problem is one of cash flow. I have lots of dreams and desires... but not enough cash to make all of them happen right now. So, I'm going to cheep route on several fronts for now. If I do a separate dust collector, that will mean I need another motor.

And even if this motor is underpowered for the tasks I am asking it to perform, building the impeller will not be a waste of time, cause I'll just detach it from the sander and attach it to another motor when I get one.
