[LargeFormat] horse trading & some really dumb questions...

[Les Newcomer]

  I might add that if so motivated, you could place the vacuum remotely 
and use 4" galv or plastic pipe used for dust collection in woodworking 
shops.  Just ground the plastic by running a solid copper wire around 
the pipe and anchor to earth at each end.
