Thank you! Any day the views will come rolling in! 😂

Interesting video and gives me plenty of ideas when I get around to building out my garage shop. For anybody thinking about duplicating this project: It only makes sense to modify a bounce house blower like this IF you already have a bounce house blower available for free. A new bounce house blower is $200+. The Harbor Freight 1HP dust collector is $170. There are often coupons and sales for 10-25% off of that price. The bag isn't very good (doesn't filter much), but a 1 micron Powertec bag on Amazon is under $25. Going with the HF power unit means you don't have to do anything to modify the flange. For the dust separator, Rockler has a kit to build a 4" Dust Right cyclone for $35. It doesn't come with the lid or the barrel, but it comes with the fittings and plans. If you feel like building it from scratch and trial-and-error through it, then go right ahead and have fun tinkering. But if you are looking for something cheap and quick, there are alternatives.

100% agree. It was a fun experiment with a blower I’ve had in the garage for several years. It was fun to do but far from ideal.

great video, it's very useful for me. I have a bounce house blower and plan to DIY dust collection system too.

All things considered, it works quite well. It’s also set up to work with a store bought dust collector with no change to the existing system.

Nice one, like many who probably watch this, I've got a blower and have been thinking about it. Looks like itl work well. End of the day, they are quiet and produce good air flow, if it's working then no rush to change for anything else. What wattage is your blower, think mine is 330w. Thanks

Thank you for watching! I really need to do a follow up after all this time. It is 437w.
