I made a dust collector starting with a 21 inch box fan.  I made a 
shell to go around it
that is open on the out side and where the in side has 2 doors that 
swing out and a "hatch back" that swings from the top.  The 2 doors 
that swing out from the sides support the hatch
when it is in operation.  I made both swing doors and the hatch from 
plexiglass so that light would shine thru.  I fixed the shell so that 
it is deeper than the case of the fan so that I could put 3 furnace 
filters between the fan case and the doors when they are shut. a simple 
strap across at top and bottom holds the filters in place.  It works 
just great.

Happiness is a tall boat and breeze to fill her sails
Have a good day
