A shop vac! That's brilliant! I've got a 10 gal. 3hp shop vac! I just tried it out. It blows pretty hard. It might be too much. I wonder if I fastened the hose to a larger diameter hose and made it longer would that slow it down? I do like the idea though. Getting some use out of an item that was in the shed long, long forgotten is very appealing, and free! Any ideas to slow the air down? Thanks. Ted
