Amazing - wish I knew how to sew and had a beginner sewing machine - it looks like magic to me!
You can tell he’s like so excited by this idea he had and I love it. So wholesome 😊
I would love to see a series of videos by Eric that talks about the most common questions and issues people call and email Sailrite support folks.
Absolutely! That's a great suggestion. We will see if we can make it happen. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for this project. We have a wood burning fireplace and cleaning the ash out of it was always a real mess, I used the scrap fabric to make a couple of filter sleeves for the canister filter extra protection. I used to wrap the filter with paper towel. It should go without saying, but make sure there are no burning embers when vacuuming out your fireplace.
I'm glad you found this project helpful! Using scrap fabric for extra filter protection is a great idea. Stay safe and enjoy your clean fireplace!
What a great idea! I could see this idea replicated for expensive indoor vacuum bags, and chop saw/table saws too.
That's a great idea!
Simple, yet ingenious! Love it!!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you found the idea simple and ingenious. It's always great to hear positive feedback from viewers like you.

no problem...when something is a hit idea, a video is well done i am sure to leave a good comment...but also goes the other way around LOLOL Have an amazing holidays..@@SailriteDIY
Great idea and perfect timing for me I need to make 4 of them! Thanks for your great videos in my opinion yours are the best 👍
I'm so glad this video came at the right time for you! Best of luck with making those 4 vacuum collection bags, you've got this!
Thank You for this Awesomeness Extreme video.
What a great idea!
The filter clogging has always been a hassle, for years and years. I couldn’t even find a paper filter for the big size of Rigid vacuum I have.
I’ll be making some or these for sure.
I really appreciate your feedback! It's comments like yours that motivate me to keep creating content. Thank you!
That's a great little project! Thanks.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it!
man! absolutely awesome. thanks
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
kislux I love you so much and watching your videos makes my day brighter
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad my videos bring some brightness to your day.
Brilliant. People might leave some 'wings' or tabs (by sewing farther in from the edge) on the foam that goes over the inlet. Most of the cardboard ones have this. I've had shop vacs that didn't have the big inlet pipe for the bag to slip over -- they were never intended to have a bag. I just hold the 'foam' opening in place over the inlet and duct tape it to the side of the vac. (might have to clean it first). It's always worked. I really like this project.
Also when there's a dust build up inside the machine, but outside the bag. I'll use compressed air or another vac to clean that up.
And if you have a sensitive area, like my photography darkroom? Get a vac that has a connector for the exhaust. Attach another hose and run it outside. I used to run one around the outside of my darkroom. Vacuum cleaners can pulverize and static charge dust into tiny particles. These can get deep in your lungs -- or they will always find their way on to a film negative. I had almost no dust problem in my darkroom. Doing boat work of course this would work really well to keep the inside dust free.
Thanks for sharing your tips and experiences with using a shop vac! It's always great to hear different methods and solutions that have worked for others. Appreciate your input!
Genius!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful. Keep watching for more content!
Thank you Eric and team! I would love to see covers for our campfire pit, picnic tables & outdoor pizza oven. We live in rainy Oregon and would like to protect these items.
Thank you for your suggestion! We will definitely consider creating covers for outdoor pizza ovens. Stay tuned! We may have some videos that will work for your picnic table and fire pit found here: ua-cam.com/video/sRcRpEHzANg/v-deo.html and ua-cam.com/video/6ggN8pbeq_o/v-deo.html
Hey Guys you should make up DIY bag kit to sell for different size vac's. Everything could be precut and have all the pieces you need in the kit. Put a DIY instructions how to printout in the box and bam bobs your uncle. They would sell like crazy😀😀
Thanks for the suggestion! The fact of the matter is the Spun Bonded Polyester fabric we used in the video is so flexible that an oversized sized bag could fit in almost any size shop vac (as long as it is not excessively too large). The extra bag materail would simply expand to fill the dust collection canister, any excess fabric will simply wrinkle up on the sides of the canister. However, the only issue is that the bag bottom must reach the bottom of the vac, so the weight of the dirt is not putting excessive stress the bag. So... we could probably make three sizes of bags and make a kit, I will have to do some thinking about that. Thanks again!!!!
Great idea. Should use a mask you are inhaling all that toxic dust
I appreciate your concern for my health. Safety first!
We are currently about to have drywall put in next month and this would work perfectly. I wonder how it would work if you doubled up the fabric?
I have not tested that, but I bet it would work great!
Seems like a cool idea, if you guys sold them i'd probably buy them over bags. Just a question, did you test air quality to see how much is being put out in the air?
Glad to hear it. No, we did not do an air quality test, sorry.
How does the material hold up when picking up other debris? Small blocks of wood, screws, chunks of stuff?
It held up great with anything I sucked up. Still impressed, as I use my shop vac weekly for construction and woodworking.
Gee do I love those videos from Sailrite !!!! I have a question. I would like to make a reusable vacuum bag for my home upright vacuum cleaner. Is it important to have that specific fabric or can I use coton or nylon. I was not able to look at the fabric used in the video as the link for the spun bonded polyester does not work. However I went on the Sailrite website and found the fabric used for making pillows. I guess that is the right fabric. Thanks for all your good work.
Thanks for your very kind comments. I have fixed the links. Using a woven fabric like nylon or cotton may not catch the dust like a spun bonded fabric. So... I would recommend using this: www.sailrite.com/Spun-Bonded-Pillow-Protector-62-Fabric Yes, it is the same stuff that pillow inserts are made of.
@@SailriteDIY Can you tell me what fabric was used for the prototype on the video. What do you mean by "nylon or cotton may not catch the dust'? Where would it go? As I speak french I am not sure what you mean. Thanks.
reusable filter for drywall dust is a really bad idea - it will clog strongly after the first usage already..
Sawdust is way better collected with a cheap cyclones. I made mine for less than 20 bucks using a cyclone from Ebay and a paint bin - still happy.
Putting all that dust in a container without a bag is also terrible - during pick up all that gips dust will go in the air and cover all around, including lungs of workers.
I understand your concern, that is why we tested the concept thoroughly before we made the full video. Here were the results: Using the prototype bag we made out of the spun bonded polyester (as seen in the video) we filled the bag with about 10 to 12 lbs of drywall dust 3 separate times and the vac still had strong suction each time. The 3 other fills were done using a chop saw with sawdust and the vacuum again had very strong suction, without cleaning the filter once and using the same bag. I also own two cyclone systems, but I can't move my shop vac around the construction site easily with that system. I love it also, but my system is not easy to move around, so I use it only on my non-portable saws. Don't you also have to dump your cheap cyclone buckets after they are filled? I know I do.
@@SailriteDIY I see.
I also dump the trash, of course, but I dump it first in the plastic bag and dispose it like that. Probably not as "eco", but definitely way less dust. Probably you have restrictions on which trash is allowed in the container..
Mobile cyclone is also possible - look how other guys made a combi system and placed it on the small board with wheels. It could look unpractical, but actually It is really good. Main part of trash lands in cyclone and only the finest dust goes into the vac. Easier cleaning, less reusable bags needed :)
And especially bad to ha she with no dust mask!!
Where is your dust mask???? No gloves??? Nuts! You’re breathing in all that dust! Going right into your lungs! Abd where do you dump the bag? The dust is still going to go everywhere.
Ya, I should have a mask on, but after the C19 I want nothing to do with them. However, that was the time to wear one. As I said, the bag should be dumped outside.
