Well, I followed suit with some other LJ’s and made my own dust collector. After some trial and error, I made some mods and adjustments. I put the collector on wheels for easier moveability. I put handles on the lid to help pull it around. I also used some bungie cords to help hold the container down when moving it around. The idea of a pool hose was a great idea as I have 40 ft of left over hose from my son’s pool. Total cost….about $5 for the top fittings. Oh, and it works as well as advertised!! I tried it on my wetvac and didn’t get any dust in it at all.

Looks good. I’m trying to build up enough nerve to make a dust collector, but really haven’t begun yet.
