I'm planning to get a half-gallon of NH barber pole spiral lacquer for
the barrel itself, and a quart of star-spangled blue for the top. I
did give serious consideration to pukey-duck yellow and woodworkers'
burple, but decided those colors would seem overly pretentious in my
rather plebeian shop. The interior of the barrel and underside of the
lid should probably be painted BH black so as to absorb as much as
possible of the radiation from dust explosions...

The intake will be angled in at about 30 degrees from horizontal and
aimed approximately tangent to the closest part of the barrel. I
considered gluing the other angled block to the underside of the lid,
but decided that it'd probably work better if I minimized
constrictions.
