Say goodbye to dusty projects and hello to a cleaner, more efficient woodshop! In this video, you’ll learn how to:
Build a hinged boom arm that swings your shop-vac hose wherever you need it
Install a PVC “Y” diverter with shut-off valves for seamless tool switching (sander, miter saw, and more)
Craft a 20×20×1″ box-fan air filter to trap fine sawdust before it settles

Follow along step-by-step as I measure, cut, assemble, and fine-tune my cyclone dust collector setup. Perfect for DIYers, hobbyist woodworkers, and anyone aiming for a spotless workshop.
