    Large shop vacuum head

    Hi,
    I needed some kind of head that could go with my big vacuum 100 mm hose.
    Here is what I came up with :









    The rollers are taken from an old schoolbag, and the brush is originally made for door threshold isolation.
    The PVC was shaped with the heat gun, around a purposely made wooden die.

    I like the wheels idea. Makes the head more maneuverable.
