I know there are some guys here who like to make saw dust in there spare time, so here is my question.
I have an old air handler i was thinking of mounting to the ceiling in my shop, adding a large filter or series of filters, for the purpose of cleaning the dust in the air. I do not see why this would not help, anyone have any experience or filter suggestions.
Still learning opinions welcome.

Go to http://www.woodnet.net and browse the forums/do a search. I've seen many examples of homemade shop filters on that site.
Personally I went with a Jet air cleaner for my shop. It uses a pleated pre-filter and a bag filter inside the cabinet. It does a good job keeping the dust down in my small shop. Click the little red house below if you want to see pics of it at my site.

Building Physics Rule #3: Higher moisture concentration moves toward lower moisture concentration.

depending on the amount of dust, you may need to step-up to a cyclone dust collector type system with high-capacity filters.
there are environmental standards which may need to be met (depending on the state, of course)
