- I have heard this before, but it led me to wonder: If I wanted to reduce the air flow, I could just continue to use the clogged filter that is normally in the shop vac, and not bother making the wate

- Mark, You're right on target. And Donald has some great suggestions. However, I made my shop vac the water trap. I usually keep an old small shop vac around for the blast cabinet. (Watch yard sales f

- This is what I have done. I ran the inlet side below the water surface. I then made a baffle that sits a couple of inches below the lid of the bucket. The baffle is a piece of round sheet metal that

- Thanks to all for some pretty cool ideas. In the end, I went for simplicity and just made a baffle, a) because I could use what I had on hand, and b) because I could get on with what I actually set o

- If there's SAND on that filter, and you aerosolize it, and breathe it, you'll want to read up on silicosis. A few times a year won't matter, but daily blowing and cleaning will add up after about 10
