Here's some more shots.  The main box measures 11 X 12 X 21.  I had to do a little extra blocking around the motor to make it work.  I just picked up a small shop vac at Wally World and took it apart.   I made a variable vent to adjust the suction.  It is a little heavier than I would like but works well.
