Multimaster Dust Collection

Here's my Multimaster Dust Collection.

In case you can't tell, this was a 2 liter seltzer bottle that I added some felt weatherstripping with foil tape and a couple new holes.  It's ghetto for sure, but it works exceptionally well to contain sheetrock and plaster dust.  The small diameter hose fits the regular pour opening and the clear plastic gives good visibility.

For those of you who prefer imperial units, this is immediately available in a 67.6 fl oz version in North America.

You're setting the bar for clean work higher than I could ever achieve.

Here's my Multimaster Dust Collection.

In case you can't tell, this was a 2 liter seltzer bottle that I added some felt weatherstripping with foil tape and a couple new holes.  It's ghetto for sure, but it works exceptionally well to contain sheetrock and plaster dust.  The small diameter hose fits the regular pour opening and the clear plastic gives good visibility.  

I laughed so hard at the "it's ghetto for sure" Well said, hahaha..   I like honesty so I'm gonna be honest too... It might not look pretty but it's a good, quick, cheap, effective solution that I guarantee dozens of people on here will use next time they have a need!   I know for sure that I will!!!

Thanks for posting.    Looking forward to seeing what version two looks like  [big grin]

Now that's what  I call "Yankee Ingenuity"  - it beat sucking dust [wink]

Thanks guys.  Today, I cut an outlet box in the back of a cabinet for a client who relocated the TV - no smokey smell throughout the house.  

I've been using this "prototype" for two years now.  Here are some specifics.

I place the openings as low as possible so that I keep good visibility above the tool.  It's easier viewing through the main body than an end.  The tool opening is a series of slits emanating from a central hole.  The cutting opening is a folded rectangle.  The felt is maybe not as important as the tape at sealing the rectangle's corners, but I like the soft surface to contact the workpiece.  

I hold the multitool in one hand and the hose/bottle connection in the other.  If things get cloudy - the hose connection/vacuum, etc. isn't working somewhere.  Ooops.

I can't think of how I'd readily improve it, so I'd rather hear ideas from others on how to take it to the next level.
