| I whipped this together out
of a 55 gallon pvc drum, some scrap 2X4's and 3/4" ply wood and 2
Jet 4" collector gates for a total cost of around $12.00
1. Cut the top out of the drum using a jig saw or sawsall.
2. Mount a 2x4 across the center 1/4" below the top edge of the
drum and secure it in place using wood or drywall screws thru the side
of the drum.
3. Mount 2 2x4 blocks across from each other opposite of the
2x4 that runs thru the center of the drum. Secure them thru the side of
the drum with wood or drywall screws.
4. Cut a piece of plywood 12" deep and the width of the drum
wide and mount it to the 2x4 that runs thru the center of the drum. the
top edge should be flush with the top edge of the 2x4.
5. Cut a piece of 3/4" plywood 1/2" wider than the diameter
of the drum for the top. Cut 2 holes, one on each side of the plywood
baffle for the collector gates.
6. Mount the collector gates, use silicon or caulk between the gate
and the wood to form a seal and secure them in place with wood or
drywall screws.
Mount the top using long deck screws into the 2x4's and there
ya have it.
Enjoy! |
