dust collector

Does anyone have plans for a home built dust collector??

Pretty much anything SWMBO buys, actually.

As to dust collectors of the shop variety, are you looking for a vacuum or
one of those overhead filter jobbies?

Vaccum as to use when I use Foredom and carving

I use a Delta collector into a box covered with hardware cloth when sanding.
Nothing special, just the square plastic fitting they sell for the bottom of
contractors' saws attached to a 2" deep box of the same size with hardware
cloth retained by a second rabbeted frame over it. I set it on my lap with
one of those traveler's neck pillows to cushion my knees and have at it.

I'm a gouge and mallet carver, so nothing will pick up the big chunks, but
I imagine it would work for a burr carver.
