I've seen them for sale, but I was wondering if anyone made their own duct collector out of a bucket; one that goes between the tool and the shop vac?

Here are a couple sites to check out. More info on Dust collecting than i could ever understand or retain. My plans are to go with Phil Thien's design wich seems to work really well scaled the size you want. I'll be going with a 30 gal brute trash can. Some show their build on youtube. Lots of different ways to do it with the same design. just search Thien dust collector on youtube.

follow the link for thien's baffle. iyt's great. i've built 2 of them and they work really well. put the $90 you save building one yourself vs. buying a DD towards getting more tools.
