I know I have seen a couple of articles (or reader's tips) about making your own vacuum extension for your shop-vacuum out of PVC tubing. Does anyone know what magazine(s) and isssues? (Woodsmith, Shopnotes, FWW, American Woodworker, Workbench)?

Thanks

Doug,

Check out the December/January issue of Woodsmith (No. 156). I think they have a description of what you are looking for in the "Tips and Techniques" section.

If you do end up making this sweeper be sure and post about it. I have seen them in the tips section before and wondered how they "actually" work.
