Do a search on here and other gold forums. I looked at different ideas and just built one. Have troubles w/ old 2 strokes, so bought a new Huskavarna blower (265???). Sealed and mounted it to a pool chemical bucket lid. 2/3's the way up on the bucket, cut a hole and siliconed a fitting for my hose w/ a 90 on the inside. The hose I use is I believe 1 1/2". It's all really simple.
 
Thanks for the tips...
