Finally registered. I am planning to build a 5 gallon paint can separator using a recycled upright vacuum cleaner. To reduce required storage space I have disassembled the vacuum, modified base to allow for rolling the bucket around shop, reinstalled handle to store cord and facilitate placement , and plan to attach vacuum motor to top of bucket lid. Discharge from motor will go into original vacuum bag. Vacuum inlet fits nicely to 2 inch pvc pipe. 1 gallon plastic paint can with ventilation holes nicely covers motor and exposed moving parts.
Now off to HD for some hose and fittings.
More to come
