DIY: Cyclone Dust Collector From Two Buckets

[@1Shaco]

Finally a tutorial where i can replicate at home with normal tools 🙏🙏🙏🙏 thank you

[@canoelew2288]

Excellent demonstration of a basic design that we all can understand and actually complete it. Thx you Da man....

[@T70781]

This is the simplest design I've seen so far. Great job.

[@jokerace8227]

I went a little more simple, but based off of his design. Cut a hole in the large bucket lid just enough so the small bucket's rim can fit snug in the hole. Use a compass with a needle instead of lead in it to scribe around and around until you've cut all the way through. That will make a nice perfectly clean hole. The rim of the small bucket can then be put through that hole down to it's flange, and the smaller lid can be snapped on which will hold it all together instead of using rivets. Cut the smaller bucket lid to have some baffle slots for material to drop through. Only a bit of the finest of dust makes it to my vacuum. You could possibly also use some silicon caulk to glue the buckets together if they don't form a good enough seal, but mine is fine without that. Just depends how precise the hole in the 5 gallon lid is cut. The negative vacuum pressure makes the small bucket suck down tight on the 5 gallon lid anyways if the hole is fairly precise. The small bucket has to have a flange and slight gap at the most between the flange and lid for this to work, but most small plastic paint buckets have that flange because the flange is also used for the wire handle's attachment holes. Not sure if his small bucket in the video didn't have that flange, or if he just cut the whole top off that bucket, but utilize that part of the bucket instead of cutting it off.

I watched your video and built one like it with a old homer bucket and smaller paint bucket. I can't believe how well it works. I am impressed.

[@Dark0wny]

I made it out of even smaller buckets because those were the only ones I had lying around and even than it worked!!! Massive thank you!!!

[@williammartin9226]

I built this after watching this video and it works brilliant. Thank you for showing great ideas. Many thanks.

[@felixreali7101]

thanks for sharing your comment. i'm thinking of doing this too now :)

[@RalfJonasson]

Build one this weekend with a 15 year old vacuum. Works extremly well. Think I have to reinforce the lower bucket on the inside! Thanks very much for a great video!

[@RonInAVan]

Great how to video!! I’ve been looking for someone that uses a smaller shop Vic with a DIY dust collector. I have a small Stanley shop vac, can’t wait to build this dust collector....Thank you for this video. 👍🏻

[@illustrations.byozge]

I was having trouble with my small home-type vacuum cleaner in my shop. Really thank you for this video. I will make one this separator first thing tomorrow! 👍👏

[@RobotJustice]

A second large bucket could make emptying this very easy. Trim the first large at about halfway (so it's open on bottom) and just leave it permanently attached to the lid. Drop the whole thing into the 2nd bucket. It still seals well, and you can just pick the separator assembly up any time you want to empty the bucket.

[@zenbooter]

bearinch Your idea is another step up the ladder, good idea gets better, thanks.

[@waltermessines5181]

Brilliant is an understatement... Well done my friend.

[@hujohnny7785]

I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook kzbin.infoUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)

[@davidholliday2857]

Thanks for this, made my version today and it works a treat

[@ccccen]

good shot I like it and it's small enough for the house shop with only a small vacuum noise :)

[@adgoossens9304]

Nice built, i'm going to make one myself. Thanks for the idea.

[@Richard678]

Este es el mejor de todos los que he visto.

[@Piterworkshop]

Really a very good job. I've only one sugestion based in my proper experience, be carefull not to block the hose of the vacum cleaner, normaly it collapses. Also you can do a very easy to do safety valve. There is videos about it. Thank you for share your videos and ideas. They are very useful.

[@robertwainwright3255]

[@Richard-mz7qu]

Well done! Thank you for sharing your idea.

[@johnhull4038]

Great job can’t wait to try and do my own

[@maxximumb]

Excellent build. Thanks for making it.

[@ВалерийВикторовичБедин]

Всё просто и главное хорошо работает. 👍

[@michaelm748]

seriously, I've looked at many different designs and this is by far the best and most cost efficient of them all. Great job. Making one tomorrow. Thanks for posting. ( PS. I did find a very cheap one, but apparently it has the habit of exploding. LOL)

[@megajabo78]

Wow ty for this tutorial 👍 question: what’s the wood piece in the basket?

[@vileguile4]

Oh i got to make this!!! Huge thank you!!!

[@RADCOMJ1]

No nonsense video....practical innovative. Well done subscribed ;-)

[@marekszeremeta8522]

Thanks to You I have build my own with a success! Appriciated! :)

[@rsbharley4766]

Great job. thanks for sharing.

[@donaldscheer5206]

Excellent!

[@erg4997]

It is even better to make a cone in the upper part, as in conventional cyclone apparatus

[@mr2octavio]

Very nice, and very doable.

[@ashton1015]

Really great video, very simple but effective design! Thanks!

[@user-in9xo6zo9p]

brilliant well done

[@Iowa599]

I think the bent connector entering the cyclone bucket is a mistake… A turn is a restriction, so pressure in the flexible hose increases (or vacuum decreases)… Basically, that's a restriction that decreases efficiency. Cut that connector flush with the inside of the bucket. Otherwise, that 's a nice simple way to build one!

[@JeremyAbbottMusic]

I think this is great

[@trevcessna1723]

Awesome! ...just trying to figure out the position of the baffle? relative to the air flow. Knowing the direction of the air flow is important, else it will become a shelf for matter. Great video, Thanks Bro!

[@rsamaran]

This is the guy who invented it, might help: www.jpthien.com/cy.htm

[@poppierosepoppiestoys6127]

You are so darn clever, thank-you for your idea's

[@josearias8488]

Desde Palmira Colombia 😍🤗👍😲

[@Jimjams23]

Love it! think I will b making one of them!!!

[@scirxscigal3539]

The efficiency test is conducted at various fill levels of the tank. I would like to see how it works when the tank is about 80% full.

[@QwertyGrodnoWood]

simple. important not to block the hose at the working vacuum cleaner

[@SeahorseWorkshop]

Work work. Thanks. I am going to try to make one too.

[@zenbooter]

Pask your videos are great, thanks!

[@glen3257]

thank you sir for taking the time to share this video. I am getting into wood working on a budget , and just ordered my first lathe and tools and need to save where I can. Again thank you and respect. I do want to ask if the separator (wood) shape is important to the efficiency of your system.

[@Hapotecario]

fuck, you are number one, very professional. thank you so much for these how to's.

[@lsteve1]

Excellent build. One question... what is the purpose of the baffle?

[@XwpisONOMA]

The purpose of the "Thien" baffle is to aid in the separation of the dust particles which drop in the lower bucket without being sucked upwards in the smaller bucket thus preventing them from making their way to the vacuum cleaner and clogging the filter.

[@petradesertgarden9431]

well done job >>>>>keep going

[@tadeuszwojcik4748]

super film

[@MusicWorldandcomputer]

Great job!!

[@--666--3]

This is good, I'm going to do the same.

[@felixreali7101]

does the length of the hose matter? i made one based on this video and it works ok. but i lose way too much suction. It could be that the hose going from my hoover to the cyclone is too long. would that make a difference, do you think?

[@viki4837]

Молодец!

[@khatilanna]

It's Amazing Bro!

[@Yahoomediaclub]

Awesome thanks👍👍👍

[@rickmendonca2135]

Hi, Can you tell what the baffle is for. I have seen other builds that didn't use them and they seem to work fine without a baffle. Just curious.

[@felixreali7101]

great video :) thanks for sharing this.

[@giancarlo4862]

Bello ben fatto bravo !!!

[@chriswhite6882]

nice

[@robertbrunston5406]

Thank you.

[@thelittlegreyshed9843]

Bravo

[@efimash1]

yo man... that was nice

[@mattiaiezzi9381]

Can this be used to suck up liquids? I have a dry vac, could I use this safely to convert it to a wet vac?

[@luisermert]

Does this only work with sucking up wood dust or is it also fine with metal shavings etc. ?

[@ReviewTubeChannel]

what's the use of the plywood piece inside the bucket?

[@theentertainmentchannel5347]

hi, what glue are you using?

[@filasgagogarcia4869]

what HP is needed for the vac to do the job properly

[@felixreali7101]

question: the plywood you're using, you said it's 60mm, that's 6cm. that seems very thick. are you sure you have the measurements right?

[@sandynix5268]

Felix Reali He said 16 mm.

[@o-whata-knife3119]

Does it work for drywall dust. Need a solution because I do lots drywall and have to empty and clean filter every 2 min.

[@zenbooter]

owhat anight I am pretty sure it will work but you have to put water into bottom of bucket perhaps 2/3", get it?

[@jerryheating8121]

Hi, what is the content of both containers ? 15/10?

[@burlisbastelbude2374]

I'm affraid that the bucket can "implode" because of the vacuum. Is this bucket really strong enough?

[@jokerace8227]

A regular shop vacuum doesn't have enough negative pressure to cause the buckets to implode. A big industrial vacuum like cabinet and furniture fabrication shops use might be able to though. lol But, if you're using a big industrial central vacuum, you would probably want a much larger container anyways, perhaps one of those big blue 40-50 gallon thick plastic walled water storage barrels.

[@demofactory]

As long as you don't block the intake hose completely, it should be fine. I built it, and it works very well.

[@viliuzk]

what`s the purpose of that wooden piece inside?What does it do ? You called it baffle I think.

[@fusion_x_frost3836]

Vilius K it’s a thien baffle and helps to aid in separation of the dust so it doesn’t go into your vacuum.

[@ivo7669]

My large bucket is imploding.. what could be causing this??

[@davetaylor2449]

Sounds like you have clogging going on somewhere in your system

[@hernancoronel]

I'd say too much suction coupled with soft enough walls.

[@davetaylor2449]

Please explain baffles purpose and is it critical as to its exact placement?

[@rsamaran]

www.jpthien.com/cy.htm

[@rustamzhiengulov6838]

Купил с АлиЭкспресс циклон и больше не буду придумывать варианты самодельный циклон

[@woodywood1951]

it's not a cyclone: it's a thien baffle.

[@franceshawe9572]

Both?

[@davetaylor2449]

I also doubt that just sealing the top tube simply with just silicon that it will hold up to things being unplugged from it on a regular basis, after all silicon is just a sealant not glue by any means.

[@pratyusha1588]

6, 16 and 60 sound the same
