Good morning to all! Low of 38, going up to near 70. We are now forecasted for some rain / snow chances and a cool down for the weekend. Depends on when the cold front moves in along with when the moisture arrives.... just stir the pot....
Gave up watching results of the election last night.... a few interesting results at the state level here.
Eric, no vortex thingy inside the trashcan. After watching videos of ones with or without, most of the ones with the votex did not outperform the ones without.... no need to waste the time / materials to make one. Mine just has a 45 degree elbow inside, pointing down about 10 degrees. The sawdust collected had telltale signs of 'swirling' action taking place.
Ron, Rick beat me to the explanation of why the trash can. Just a big collector.
RNG, this is the wet / dry vac I ordered:

It will replace the small shopvac brand one that I have, it is only 6 gal and 3 hp. It's great for the small jobs and worked surprisingly well for the dust collector. I am expecting the bigger one to do even better.
The design was basically mine, adapting many Ideas from YouTube. Some of those were very elaborate, serving no additional purpose.
Popgadget, the small shopvac actually does very good pulling air through the hoses. The hose between the tools and the can is 2 1/2", the hose from the can to the vac is only 1 1/4", but creates a good vacuum. If you block the hose end at the tool end, it will start collapsing the trash can inward. The new vac will have a 2 1/2" hose for the vac side.... it should move even more air.
Today's agenda is to make my arm, hand, and wrist sore by sanding all those planks. Probably all that will get done today.
Everyone have a great day!
