Project Information
First off, sorry for the direction of the photo - it's a tall project not prone to a landscape layout. Anyway…Two days ago, I had a shopvac filled with fine dust from my power tools and I knew I needed to change things around. So…
Step 1: Make a dust separator with a Thien baffle and use a HEPA filter on the shop vac. Testing showed greate results. I might spray paint the blue and white bucket a gray neutral color.
Step 2: Make an ultimate dust collection cart for my garage shop - where everything gets rolled away to fit the wife's car inside. I wanted a mobile cart that also took care of my box-fan filtration. As it stood, the fan would often fall over when running on high so I was always propping it up with something and often not even using it - I do use a dust mask. I also used a new method of assembly which was dowel rods and glue for everything - I usually used pocket screws for my other mobile carts. It's definitely simple in design but I love having the fan there so I a) don't forget to use it and b) don't have to worry about it falling over and c) one less thing sitting on the garage floor.
I used a dowel on a block of wood to hold the fan and filter in place.
