Chaley-
No wood burner here, just a hobby (read: means of staying sane) that makes a lot of mess. I also keep "collecting" power tools, seemingly each new one contributing to said mess more than the last. All now either accept the shop vac nozzle in their dust port or I've added a rubberised adaptor to make it work.
What I really want now is an air scrubber.

Dust bucket arrived and already impressed. Decided to swap some of the connectors around on the shop vac hose so that I can run the short hose directly into the vac from the bucket, then doubled up the shop vac hose onto the long hose on the bucket, giving me a super long hose. No apparent loss of suction and no clogs when I tried some heavy passes on the jointer with a scrap of 2x4 (photo after three 1mm passes on 6" worth of 2x4 scrap, did quite a few more when testing various hose arrangements so collected about 5 times that with no clogging, I won't be taking that much material off at any one time in actual use). Will definitely prolong the life of the shop vac bags and the long hose reaches anywhere in the shed so don't have to worry about moving it unless I'm working out on the deck, and then it's not really that much of an arse.
