   Ron,

   Your comments reflect my experience with Dan - he's a true gentleman.

   Thanks for taking the time to recognize him publicly.

   Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.

   Walnut - the air scrubber is basically a shop-made version of the air cleaners available at retail.  Its function is to remove airborne particles such as dust from the air in a workshop.  I will attached Dan's instructions on how to build one.  Follow these to the letter and you'll be very happy with the results.

   Wow, nice plans, very well detailed and well thought-out.  I WISH I HAD SEEN THEM ABOUT 2 weeks ago!! I just bought a Jet air filter. Maybe if I can find the box I will take it back. I never even thought about making one for myself, SHAME ON ME.

   The next time I need something, I am going to spend a little more time looking for a way to make it myself.

   You truely are an asset to this forum.

   Thanks again.

   John

   Several years ago, I built basically the same dust remover that you show. Excellent write up and drawings you supplied.  Mine differs in a couple of minor areas.  I salvaged used furnace blower fans and motors, commonly discarded be HVAC contractors.  I use a double filter system at the inport end, spacing the filters 3" apart.  Lastly, I put a third filter in at the exhaust end, and deflect downward at the exhaust.  I mounted mine between the rafters of my shop between the rafter, and have a fully drywalled ceiling, therefore the bottom of the unit protrudes but 8". Of course I had to slope from the top of the unit to the ceiling to allow for complete exposure of the 20x20 filters.  I have a slide bottom to allow access to the filters, and everything is mounted with 1/2 thich rubber washers.  No vibration, and minimal noise.

   Hope I'm not stepping on your foot by adding these suggestions, but it works well for me.

   Savage,

   I'm with you on this one.  In my original post, I described almost all of the points you've mentioned here.  In my shop, two of the best air scrubbers utilize the motor/blower units from a salvaged furnace and a whole home humidification unit.

   Be sure to read my subsequent replies to other posters in that thread.

   Here's a link to my original post describing everything in detail.
