Phil,
This looks like a great simple design for the small user. I have a basement workshop and due to space limitations a shop-vac works best for me. I have a few questions on the details of the baffle as well as the garbage can. On the baffle what size/type of pvc fitting did you use. Is it a 2 1/2 inch 90 degree elbow? On the garbage can I was wondering what the diameter is. I'm having problems finding steel garbage cans in my area. I live near you (Madison) and we have mandatory recycling with required plastic garbage cans. I'm thinking of trying a heavy duty fiber drum since those I can find in all sizes from 1 gallon - 75 gallon. They also have a steel top that has a locking band included in the construction. Any thoughts on using a fiber drum?
Regards,
