Using items from around the house and his burned out shop vac he
created a cheap cyclonic dust collector. Pretty neat and dirt cheap!

Check out this DiY dust control project done by grumpygeek.com...

I have researched it since seeing the post.

Can't find any drink cups big enough to take care of my dust mess.
This includes the Quik Trip Big-pisser size.

Pretty cool thought.

4 hours is far too long.  Doesn't the guy have a bucket and a hot glue
gun?  That's all our first one used.

The only rule of cyclones is that they're easier to do and work better
than you'd expect. Crude is fine.

Then make yourself a steel one, just so it doesn't break when you
knock it over.

Really? In the beginning I almost thought the top one was actually a
take-out soup container like the kind from a chinese place. I think
they're a bit sturdier and might last longer.

Heh, yeah. I ended up skipping through the video the first time to get
to the meat. He's definitely a little long-winded on this one.

Still pretty cool he made one so lo-tech. I don't have one in my setup
and haven't felt the need, but I might try this out, with better cups.
I like anything that preserves my equipment and saves me money.
