Just another shop made air filter.. HVAC blower off an old furnace.. 3/4 inch plywood
I made sure that the filters that it takes match the size of my current home furnace so I don’t need to keep multiple sizes of filters around..
I am amazed at how dirty the front filter gets after just a day in the shop. Glad that dust is going in the filter and not in my lungs..
Thanks for looking

That’s a nice design. Good work!
I wanted to make one of these some time ago, but I always got stuck when it came to getting a blower that didn’t cost me an arm and a leg. Had the plumber here the other day and missed my chance to ask him! Doh!

For a source for a blower.. Call up local HVAC installers, they pull these things out of houses everyday..
Tell them you’ll pay $$ for a good blower.. They’ll probally deliver that evening.. As long as you give more than they get for scrap.. they’ll be happy..

I built 3 of these to use for my sculpting/sanding room and they are invaluable. I would suggest buying washable and re-usable electrostatic filters if you use your system more than rarely. I started out with disposable filters and had to replace them every day…six filters daily can get expensive…

I rotate the filters.. New filter goes on the outtake side, then old outtake filter on the intake side..

Great design for changing filters. I’m gonna be building one of these sometime and you gave me some good ideas.
