I've had this idea to make a dust separator for several months now, I even made the top for the bucket about 5 months ago, it's been sitting there ever since. Yesterday and today I took a little time to make it function. It's made out of all scrap osb and plywood I had lying around (as you can...

I made this Thein separator out of metal flashing, MDF, and scrap hard maple. I copied mine almost exactly from this video series: It was really well done and ghostses was very helpful and responsive to questions. The main differences in mine are the finishing details (I haven't routed any...

I purchased a RIDGID 13" High Speed Thickness Planer a few years back. The planner has been more than awesome, other than the fact the chip output is ridiculous!! I am quite organized and a very clean person and prefer to work in a clean shop, and not to be swimming through 10 feet of planner...

I have a Delta 1.5hp single stage dust collector for about 5 yrs. Every time I hear a big clank coming from my impeller when I accidentally suck a metal object into the dust collector, I fear my impeller would just disintegrate. Changing bag is a hassle and messy. A dust separator will help...

Friends hello. I made another casket for my daughter. Oak was used in the material. At the end it is covered with oil. Link to the production process.

I can't take any credit for this design. You can find the plans by doing a Google search and several guys have youtube videos of them. My big one is made from a food grade 55 gal. drum. The small one is a 5 gal. laundry detergent drum. Both of them are built the same only at a different...

Hello again Lumberjocks…it's been a while since I've had something to post! It's been nice this past week to get in some shop time :) With this project done, I'm looking forward to moving on to my next one…just need to decide what to tackle next, lol! This is my newest creation…I'm calling it...

My Jet DC-650 has been shoved into a corner and not used because it spews so much fine dust - so I decided to build a Thien separator and then add a better filter on the DC. So - this is a lid type separator using a 32 gallon Brute container. I don't have all the fittings yet to connect it to...

Since I have a new hollowing tool EWT Hollower #3 Full size. I took a piece of crab apple tree and did the bulb…. need to work on sphere shapes. Top is rosewood scrap to fill in the hole that I used to hollow out the crab apple wood. bottom is tulip wood.. and used to be two 5 droplets long…...

This is a dust collection cart that I made for my small workshop that serves multiple purposes: o It provides a handy portable working surface of various shop projects o It serves as my primary means of vacuuming dust from the floor and work surfaces o It includes a dust separator made from a...

I've been looking to make a dust separator for some time now. I was originally going to use the kit from Rockler for this but it only comes in 4" and I wanted to keep the shop vac diameter. I just made the appropriate fittings out of some PVC from the local home store. Along with the clear...

I finally decided to build a Thein separator for my shop vac. I think I have favorited every project posted of the separator. I used a 15 gl oil drum for the base. This is a very good size for my shop vac. It werks very well. I used my home made circle cutter to cut the grove in the top...

This unfinished piece is a work in progress. It stands 6ft tall and 26 inches in diameter. Its made from a poplar log and so far has taken me 50 hours, still a lot of sanding to go and updates are on their way.

I wanted a very compact dust separator that would fit within a vertical space of 21.5 inches under my workbench. I came up with a variation on the Thien separator that pulls the air down from the cyclone chamber and then out the side. I also needed it to work with my Ridgid WD4522 "tool box"...

Having read blast gate reviews, LJ projects, and researching the internet, I came up with my own design that appears to be uncommon if not unique. Rather than a push-pull gate, I developed a rotary design that seems to work well. One advantage is that it can't jam like the push-pull type due to...
