So I don’t have a DC right now but I enjoy all the related threads. I like seeing the mods you guys make so I can hopefully make a more educated decision about what I will need/want in the future. So my question pertains to the barrel and or bag part of the system that is placed under a cyclone. I’ve seen a few complaints about dealing with the bags and also people trying to source a proper barrel.
So why does it have to be a barrel at all? Could the barrel be replaced with a square plywood box properly sealed? Seems the box would yield more volume in the same footprint. Then the whole bag thing. Could these be eliminated if you had somewhere to empty the barrel/bin?
Thanks for any thoughts. I like to keep most things simple if I can because I’m often the last “S” in KISS
