That is a great idea! I may have to borrow that idea for my Clue Caddy Version 2.0.

Pretty simple to make and very handy.

Hey there, thanks for reading my Instructable and for your comment! The blower motor that I used states that it provides 420 cfm of air flow so in a perfect world at that rate it should be able to clean all the air in my shop in less than 5 minutes. That would be a bit of an exaggeration though because 1. I don't think that it actually does provide 420 cfm (more like 300 cfm) and 2. Once the filters get caked with sawdust, they restrict the air flow quite a bit. I think that with my setup and with clogged filters it recirculates more like 200 cfm. With all that said, my shop is 12' x 16' x about 8' tall (almost 1600 cubic ft) /200 cfm it should take more like 10 minutes to clean the air. I mounted mine pretty centrally and near my biggest sawdust maker (my miter saw) and I run it continuo…

I mounted mine pretty centrally and near my biggest sawdust maker (my miter saw) and I run it continuously while working. I notice that after about 10 to15 minutes the air is dust free. I leave it on sometimes over night and I come back in to my shop the next day to a fresh clean air shop. Matthais mounted his air cleaner(s) in the corner of his shop which I think is a lot less effective. Hope this helps!

I use Sketchup for all my 3D modeling of projects. It used be called Google Sketchup but I think they sold it. It is a free software and you can download it just by searching sketchup in google.

This is such a great idea! I wish I saw this last week... I used my drywall saw to carve pumpkins this year but I shall make a few of these to use next year!
