J. Phil Thien's Projects

This past weekend I was doing some fall clean up and noticed my DC bag had about 6 inches in the bottom of it and wondered what the ? My system sits outside my shop, original build thread here http://www.jpthien.com/smf/index.php?topic=503.msg2662#msg2662. Got to checking it out and the tub was plumb full  ::). Didn't think I'd been makin' that much dust. At any rate, the Thien Top Hat Separator continued to do it's job even with the tub full, just dumped it into the bag. No decrease in performance from inside the shop. I was very impressed!
Once again Phil, many thanks for an absolutely fantastic design! You and your design ROCK big time  8)!

Very Thankful,
Gale

Here's my version of the Top Hat design. Still need to mount the motor/vane on the wall above the Thien Top Hat but it works super as is.Thanks Phil and all of you for the ideas and inspiration.
Thanks,
Gale
