Dust Collector for entire garage
Hey guys,
I found this forum from the Hotrodders.com homemade tool section. I was looking for some advice to build an inexpensive dust collection/filtration system for the garage in my home. This is a 3 car garage but I am doing all of my work on the single car side of the garage. I have an old car that I am restoring so I kick up alot of dust from grinding, striping paint and knocking off rust from the sheetmetal.
I found this guy's website searching Google and think he has a great idea that would work well for me. Unfortunately I can't seem to find the link to the site anymore. Here are some similar ideas on Youtube: DIY Homemade Shop Air Filter - WidgetWerks.Com - YouTube

I am looking for opinions and advice.
I was going to use a "Whole house fan" from Home depot but this are $150+ each. I considered an attic fan but those are also pretty expensive.
What type of fan do you suggest I use that can help me collect the dust in my garage while I work for less than $100?
Cheap and quick: use a blower from an A/C or central heat and air unit.

I would simply go to your local A/C (I am in Florida) or central heat and air guy and ask for one. Probably free. You can even put it outside the garage and create simple ductwork; or, keep it inside, run through filters and conserve heat.
