All,

I wanted to say thanks for the great discussion and ideas on this board.  After suffing for many years with a perpetually clogged shopvac filter I cannot say how impressed I am with the effectiveness of the Thien seperator.  I did a little write-up on my blog.  It may be bad form to reference you there instead of re-typing everything : but I am going to do it anyway! :)

I cannot think of anything i would change or do different in the design.  My only add is to make a dolly of some sort to put the bucket/shopvac on the same platform for easier mobility.
