Awesome Single Bucket Cyclone Dust Collector (Thien Baffle Design)

This is my take on the Thien Baffle design for a single bucket dust collector.
I've used this dust collector in my home workshop (small apartment) for the past 6 months, and I'm very happy with it!
It collects successfully almost all saw dust, fine particles and wood shaving, and clogged only once in this entire time.
I plan to make some improvements such as anchoring the bucket to a stable surface and making the lid more rigid.
There are many builds of this collector on the internet. I started this one as a proof of concept but it was so good that I just kept using it :)
