Not sure if this is the right section to post this. I have just completed building a timber dust cyclone, its made mostly of recycled Oregon and hardwood. The cyclone is sanded smooth inside and clear coated several times. Will see how it holds up inside.
Filters were a bit of a challenge to find locally, I ended up using commercial refrigeration/air conditioning filters.
Not completely built with my shopsmith as I don't have the bandsaw atachment. The jointer sure made it easier than using a hand plane to prepare the stock for cutting to final dimensions.
So far it's working really well with no fine dust ending up in the filter box. I regret not taking any progress pictures, its almost too nice to use
Thanks for looking
Marty

That easily is the most beautiful dust cyclone I've ever seen! Tell us about how it was built (for instance, what's the joinery you used to make the cone portion of the cyclone).
Gale's Law: The bigger the woodworking project, the less the mistakes show in any photo taken far enough away to show the entire project!
That is phenomenal! Absolutely outstanding! Like algale, I want to see how you did that!
