Somewhere online I saw a shop vac dust collector, that had the vacumn (at least the blower part) mounted on top of the cyclone.
When shut off, the contents of the shop vac, emptied into the cyclone.
Anyone have pictures of this style?

Are you thinking of the pulse bac shop vacs? They are were the first with a self cleaning filter. Very good vac but they run 3k or more. They are geared towards the floor re finishers for their sanders.

I think you are wanting this one

I also would like to make it but beyond my thinking and would need help in making it.
As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification.  Thank You Everyone.

It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

You might be thinking of the one I found on YouTube and posted about it here.
