re: Making a Cart

Thanks guys.  I am very happy with how the cart turned out.  Even though it is slightly bigger than my shop vac/cyclone,  getting rid of the both the shop vac AND the Delta DC results in a net decrease in floor space usage, which is a good thing. 

Steve, DC envy of Earl and Ryan is at least partly why I bought this.  I would have gotten it sooner if I had thought about building a cart to avoid clearing some wall space for it.    

I still have to figure out how to manage the 2.5" accessories and the hose.  The old Craftsman shop vac had built in storage for wands and attachments and the hoses were usually just draped over the PVC pipe that connected the vac to the cyclone which was sitting on top of the vac.    I may see if I can add some sort of storage to the back of the cart and I am noodling on some ideas.  There was one video taken at what looks like a trade show that Oneida posted of the cart model where they had mounted one of their hose reels to the front of the metal cart somehow.  Unfortunately they just give a glimpse in the video.  Not sure how they did that without it getting in the way of the blast gate unless they turned the cyclone section so that the gate came out the side of the cart.  I will have to look for that video again.
