Does anyone know on what board, the thread, about the home made rock snot sucker using a shop vac, 5 gal. bucket, and brown paper bags is located. I've looked and looked and can not locate it. I don't remember the thread title and i'm probably missing it for that reason. Would appreciate any help as i'm ready to clean it out... Thx

I think it was in the lapidary tips section. Hasn't been that long since it was posted. If you can't find it, give me a shout, and I'll talk you through building one.

I can't find the thread, but here is a summary:
1. Get 2 5 gal. buckets, one with a lid, a grocery sack, shop vac, extra shop vac hose, and a shop vac wand. 2. Drill drain holes in the bottom of one bucket and put it inside the other bucket. 3. Put the grocery sack in the top bucket and put the lid on. 4. Attach a hose from the shop vac to the bucket lid (cut a hole in the lid and seal with silicone). 5. Attach another length of hose to the the lid, with it extending through the lid into the top of the sack. 6. Attach the other end of the hose to the wand. 7. Turn on the vac and clean out your saw with the wand.
All of the rock snot should go into the sack and then drain into the bottom bucket over time.
Let me know if you have any questions. I'll see if I can find my pics if you want them, but it's pretty straight forward.

Man, that pneumonia is kick ass stuff. I nursed myself through it a couple of years ago. Too damn hard headed to go to the doc. Hope you kick that bug quick.
