Wanting to create a homemade wet dry vac

[tolivac]

I don't mean the SV 55 gal drum topper machine-there are others worth considering-and not just Shop-Vac.I don't fully understand what the vacuum is being used for-just a dust collector-there are dust collectors out there that would be less expensive if you are just using the machine to collect dust from power tools.Shop Smith makes such a machine.Look on their website.

I wonder if a leaf blower/vac fan could be used. I'm not sure about using it for wet pick-up though. I still think it is cheaper to just buy something that was intended for the purpose which it was intended.
