Cyclones seem to be flavour of the month at the moment so I thought I'd post my build. Hopefully it will be a bit of a different build compared to others. Two of the main "ingredients" are going to be cardboard and masking tape - I kid you not, but I'm confident it will work, we'll have to wait...

I bought a 10x4 sheet from Arnold Laver if you have a branch nearby. Mark

Yes thats what I mean, just another selling point Mark

I applaud you for making this happen, no mean feat I'd imagine =D> A suggestion for your "why do I need a cyclone section" - how about the fact it increases the collection capacity massively so needs less emptying? Regards Mark

What's the difference between the metal ducting touching the plastic cyclone and the metal ducting touching another conductor touching the plastic cyclone? Just trying to understand it. Understand the ducting itself you need to be grounded. Mark

So it sounds like I need male connectors to join lengths together? What are the female connectors for then? Mark

Have to confess i know nothing about this static build up buisness but if it is connected up to metal ducting will that not act as a grounding? Mark

Hi I have a couple of questions about this. Do the male and female connectors have specific uses? I did read in one place that one was for connecting the actual pipes together and one was for connecting the bends t pieces etc. Is this right? What is the best way to cut it and clean up the...

If your new house is secluded then the container is a good idea. However if someone moved in next to me and plonked one of them in the garden I would be mightily unimpressed. Mark

Guys Thanks for all the responses, especially those who have offered to supply me some. As they are so cheap, I'll go to screw fix and get a bag so I've always got some. Cheers Mark

And anyone know where to buy a handfull without a stupid postage charge? Drill a hole, wind the fixing in with an allen key, then can screw a bolt into the fixing. Cheers Mark

I'm impressed also. What is the construction process? When its rolled what happens to the seam, does it get in the way of a smooth airflow round the cyclone? Mark

Any chance of a photo of the drill table Mike, sound interesting Mark

Thanks for all the replies I will strip the protective coating off and then decide what the reprotect it with (which will be something in case I accidently get in the shower with it, Jacob) Mark

Jacob do you recommend any particular colour lipgloss for that? :D

Is the Liberon silicon free?? Mark

Hi The instructions for my new plane say it is treated with rust preventative and to wipe it off with mineral spirit. It then advises to apply paste wax. I have Liberon Lubricating wax, will this do? Says to be careful to a use silicon free product to ensure no problems with finishing...

If you go in the Cambridge shop, make sure you get served by the one legged guy called Woody (I think his actual name is George). Great guy and personally posted stuff onto me which was out of stock, off his own back, not my request. As for ordering stuff online I agree with the previous...

Stick it to another board with double sided tape Mark
