In the discussion today of whether one could home-brew a dust collection system from a shopvac, it jogged a memory - I've got the remains of a leaf blower/vac out in the garage, unless SWMBO has tossed it. It's reasonably powerful, of course. Also pretty freakin' loud. Anyone thoughts on maybe converting this for use as a dust collector?
I'd figure a new housing for the motor might be in order, plus some sort of sound insulation, but...would it be worthwhile?
