nice vac. i will be building one of similar design soon. my only observation would be to line the inside with fabric. i'd just use old cotton sheets or something. i have a much larger yard (2 acres) i'm trying to reclaim after years of neglect and i don't particularly care for thatch.
Nice job, it's great fun doing these kind of projects, But FYI, there are about 10 different companies that already offer this product & functionality. And actually already a produced and marketed attachment for deere.
love it!!! well done.. what size is the blower dimensions? and what type of impeller did you use eg:: shape of blades, curved or strait? i want to make meself one excellent job

Ofcourse I never ment to imply that I had invented something here. I built my own for two reasons: (1)Total cost to build was $100
(2)Mine out performs the commercially available ones by a huge margin. Thanks for your comment.

what is the name of the blower, or where can you get it at. I understand everything else, just can't seem to find the blower.
