Dust collector trips circuit breaker

Excuse the mess. So I got an electrician to install a 120V/20A dedicated circuit for a Shopfox w1867 dust collector and it keeps tripping on startup. The motor will start for about 2 seconds and then the circuit breaker will trip. The manual says the a 20a dedicated circuit should be fine. The manual also mentions that I should have it connected to a dust collection system otherwise if there is insufficient air resistance then the motor will pull more amps. I have it connected to a 20 foot 4” flexible hose and connected that to my planer. The other feed has a dust cap. The circuit breaker is tripping, not the fuse in the motor. Not sure how I should continue troubleshooting.

can I seal a finished table?

Thanks in advance for any help. We purchased this table on heavy discount from Anthropologie and it’s in gorgeous condition, but I’ve noticed a couple tiny water marks on the top. I know this is “reclaimed” olive wood, and I’m wondering if there’s any way I can seal the top so that we don’t ruin it in the future by actually eating at the table. It’s very smooth and seems to be soft. I apologize for my lack of woodworking knowledge here. Thanks!

Nerd art for some fellow nerds’ anniversary. No CNC, but I did get a ton of chisel practice.

What are my options here?

I’m going to inlay another piece of wood but I’m concerned with trapping air in this. I just added some starbond but should I completely fill the void?

Ash, Walnut Cutting board from scraps

This turned out great after adding a walnut slice to hide a mistake!

Gel stain over unfinished AND unfinished wood? New to wood working - top was terrible but rest was in pretty good condition so I just used a random orbital on the top and sanded the damaged down on other parts. Will the stain be very different? Should I sand it all down?

Today's work in progress:

Cherry handle, Sapele head. I'll finish it after engraving with mineral oil
