Hi Brad,

What is a dust tunnel? I'm not familiar with the term.

  Good for you!  I wish I had seen this site before I set up my current shop last year. 
  I have a Jet system  http://www.wmhtoolgroup.com/index.cfm?area=shop&action=detail&iid=12919 

  I would be interested to hear how you end up organizing the shop around the new dust control. I am planning to renovate a huge barn on a new property, and want to create a shop plan that allows dust to flow through the shop and avoid the finishing area.  

  With this cyclone, will you also be building a sanding table, or 'tunnel' area for capturing dust? 
  I am using Bolduc's method for shaping pinblocks with an air grinder, and when I do it in the dust tunnel, it really saves on dust accumulation.  I just set up a cardboard enclosure, with two dust hose openings on either side, front end open...facing me and the workpiece...and put plastic mesh over the dust pipe openings to avoid having tools sucked into the pipes.  Then as I sand, I use a bench brush to push dust towards this tunnel, and it makes the work much more tolerable. 

  Looking forward to seeing your stuff in Rochester.
