Quick cheap DIY dust collection system VIDEO

Great idea using a 'trugg' as the baffle-nice one Graham, and if I'm not mistaken that looks like an 'Addis' blue bin ?

I've just given my little workshop an 'air-dusting', I have one of these vacs from Lidl which has an outlet blower port, 10 mins blowing down (with a mask on) and 10 mins with the vac left running to filter all the dusty air while I grabbed a coffee

How well do these run from a normal household hoover? It looks very effective in the video, I'm sure there are many people out there that don't have the money for sophisticated systems and would look to something like this as a potential stop gap, do you risk long term damage to a hoover using it like this?

It works fine in perfect circumstances, but struggles with a longer hose and the seals have to be good so there's no leakage weakening the suction. Obviously the more power the better.
