John.....Welcome to the 'Creek! You found the right forum where people exchange opinions and ideas freely! From beginners to pro's there here! Several members have made their own DC's. Most IIRC use basic designs from Bill Pentz's website. I'm sure you'll get some responses to answer your question! Again.....Welcome!
PS....do a search using "cyclone DC" as the search subject....you'll find a lot of threads and some of them were shop made.

You'll find everything you ever wanted to know (in there somewhere).
Welcome,

John, welcome to the Creek! Please stick around after you find the info that you need. As Mark Said, read Bill's site. You will learn more than you ever wanted to know about Dust Collection and Cyclones. When I want to move up to a cyclone, I am thinking of building my own too.
Good luck and feel free to ask specific questions once you get started!!
