Looks great!
Thank you! Almost fully completed the mitre saw station
Another great job, welcome back from the U.S. Had to laugh when I watched you just dipping the roller in the tin.😊
Haha, for a 5 minute paint job, I really didn’t want to clean up paint for 30 minutes.
I'm really glad I found your channel! When I do bone carving it can be somewhat hazardous (bone dust is super dangerous) and I think I really need to set something like this up. You've given me much to consider.
Thank you! I have never done bone carving, but something maybe for the list in the future!
@@RichmondWoodworks Full breathing gear is a must, but it's rewarding, and rather different from working with wood because there's no grain.
The blast gates need their handles printed 90 deg left or right so they point in the directions of air flow.
I see what you mean, I did move the handle so they point in the direction of flow…it would have annoyed me to no end otherwise 😅
Great job. Now it’s too nice. 😂😂😂
Haha, thank you! This weekend it was an absolute mess, but finally have the Camvac muffler. Future episode!
Hey mate. I ran 100mm PVC from a 5kw dust collector. Probably similar or longer runs than yours then flexible to the machines. I've found such a flow reduction due to the bends and such that I almost might as well not run the vacuum. I'm keen to see if you notice something similar.
Hey mate, I suspect it won’t lose as much as a traditional dust collector…but wow, 5kw! Plan to do a video in the future to measure the wind…here is hoping not much loss!
Legend for providing the step file of the adapter!
I know the feeling just wanting to tweak something 😅 If you improve the design, please comment!
Well done on the static. Unfortunately, I’m no longer blissfully ignorant of the potential dangers. 🫣
Sorry! But better to be safe I suppose, the jury is still very much out on it
It will be interesting to see if, over time, dust gets in the mechanism of your dust gates and makes them tough to turn. They appear to be "self cleaning" to a degree so hopefully this won't even be an issue. I don't have any plans to install ducting into my shed but I like to see what everyone is doing for their workspaces. I'll stick with moving a hose around to each machine as I use it. Reason is, my shed is small enough, and all my machines are close enough to the extractor that this isn't really an issue for my setup. 👍
There is a great video on the ball valves and how they dont accumulate dust over time which is why I decided to go with them: ua-cam.com/video/epJ929kZzc4/v-deo.html Running the host between machines is absolutely fine, I have done that for the past 7 years across my various workshops...but this time with me building it, I wanted to run the dedicated ducting. It was a lot of work, quite tedious, but once it is done I don't have to worry about it for a long time.
@RichmondWoodworks Considering how aesthetically pleasing your workshop is, it's definitely worth the effort to get that dust collection to complement it. I'll check out that video 👍
So nice to hear your worthy comments on the importance of staff at both Timbercon & Carbitec here in Melbourne.....I am glad to hear that in your conversation today over what I saw, & have commented on in the references to Bunnings (who are also useful Yes I use them too!) but very much appreciate the knowledge & skill of the Staff at those specialist stores.... I really like those dust valves....wow what an upgrade.... Interesting theory about & I would generally agree. so thanks for that!.....Marcus
I am so happy with the dust valves so far, just need to upgrade them to electronic ones in the future!
Thanks for this, I am starting to put some ducting in as well. I purchased the dusting from Hare and Forbes. Will also be looking to take care of the static in a very similar process to you. Thanks for your note on 3D printers last week. I am also considering the Bambo Lab X1 Carbon. Many thanks - Steve
Hey Steve, happy to help! Also, have a look at the Bambu P1S, doesn't have all the bells and whistles of the X1C, but it a little cheaper - and it seems to be on special at the moment.
My main goal when I started was one video a week too but that proved to be more than I can handle. As you know It's hard to build something, film it, edit it, make the thumb nail, title and all the other small things all while getting the next project ready. Keep up the good work!
It is a lot of work, but am really enjoying it!
Jelly, haven't been to White Hat for years
Recommend it, for sure! Although it has grown so much over the years.
I’ve seen a lot of presenter woodworkers burn out, trying to maintain the once a week schedule to try and “stay relevant” in the UA-cam algorithm. In my opinion, if it’s once a week, fortnight, month, it’s all good, and anyone who is half decent will understand, that it has to remain fun for you to continue to present the great content you do. Good luck in Vegas. BTW I have a mate who runs a cyber security company and travels a lot. I’ll have to ask him if he’s going to Vegas.
I can see that happening pretty easily, but have decided to do it once a week for a year. Then reassess.
You're dodging us to fly to the US and speak at a conference?! I can't blame you ... have fun in the US; we'll be here when you get back.
Thank you! Had a great time, now back to the workshop for me!
Enjoy the conference and Keep the content coming.
Thank you, I had a blast!
Hi Luke. I've seen a few other UA-camrs who also have other job/life comitments and are small enough channels to not have staff to fill gaps talk about this sort of thing before, and IIRC something that comes up is, if you can, at some point in the future, get one video ahead of the game, and leave yourself that 1 extra video 'buffer' you can then spend that buffer when you really need time away and just scheduel the video for the normal future date to keep up your video publishing schedule. This way, you are making the extra video when it's convienant you, and spending it when you don't have the time. Also, my own thought is as a maker channel, you may find oppertinities in the future to get almost a 2 for 1 with some of your recordings. For example, one video about making something, and one video about a new tool that you do a review of, that you shoot at the same time. (perhaps you purchased the tool to make that project) You can then overlap some of the footage but edit it a different order with a different voiceover, and you can get two videos with less time investment than it would otherwise have taken to make 2 seperate videos about different things.
Absolutely, I had a buffer of about 10 over the last 4 months - but it slowly caught up. Totally aim to have a bit more of a buffer - just the projects recently have been a little more intricate with electronics and 3D design and printing. Now that I am back - and parts have finally arrived from Ali Express, I can start doing the next stage of automating the dust collection too. Appreciate the feedback, a new project is always a great excuse to buy a new tool!!
I’ve been to a few of those in the past. You do you and don’t have too much fun with all the other geeks. 😂
I had a blast as always, been coming for almost 10 years! Hope to meet more woodworkers at these events.
Work junket! 😉
Was great fun!
Great video…. Coming along nicely. What kind of 3d printer are you using?
Thank you! I am using the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon, and could not recommend it enough. I had a Tiertime Up300 before and experienced nothing but frustration with it almost every print. This one, is pretty much set and forget.
As always, enjoy your watching your videos. Looking forward to seeing how you wire your ducting to reduce static. - Steve
Thank you Steve, very much appreciate the kind words! Will have a video up for that very soon.
@@RichmondWoodworks Hello again, you mentioned 3D printing, I am looking to get started and want to learn. What equipment did you end up getting? Software? places to learn? Thanks - Steve
I used to have a TierTime Up300, but that was very frustrating to use. Recently I bought the BambuLabs X1 Carbon. Super simple to setup, use and just get started. It prints faster, and less fuss. I would recommend getting one of them. UA-cam has a lot of reviews, @shopnation did some videos on it too.
According to results from a video I found awhile ago, you cannot ground static electricity ⚡️ without coating the entire wall you want to ground. John McGrath (grounding and earthing a pvc dust extraction system) has a fantastic video on YT to explain it. I tried posting the video but YT removes the link
Hi mate, thank you for the comment. I did a quick search and I think this is what you were referring to: ua-cam.com/video/yA22kTtV4XI/v-deo.htmlsi=XMdi6S7LbOuNLlzg He makes some very good points, and thank you for sharing.
@@RichmondWoodworks yes, that is the video. Hopefully it can help others save some money on things that might be considered a gimmick; or at least better understand their investment before deciding on metal vs pvc and know what to expect in the decision.
Absolutely, but even with that video I am earthing my dust collection…I just don’t want to be that test case. The difference I see, is that I am driving screws into the pvc pipe to earth it outside the pipe as pvc isn’t conductive.
@@RichmondWoodworks maybe the best way is to earth it at the machine’s outlet, middle and inlet of the dust collection with a DIY dangling metal cable design or thin chain so it’s flexible. This would kill the static from charging before and after as the particle movement passes by. I’d also be concerned if you’re into cutting soft metal like copper, aluminum or brass and a hot piece gets sucked into the dust igniting it. Just ideas that might help work out a better method to kill static before it accumulates.
Lots of work, but I'm sure you'll enjoy the results.
Absolutely, really enjoying the process. I probably won't know what to do with myself once its all done...
HDPE would actually be worse than the MDF for the table. It's not the most stable material, would require a *lot* of bolts to get it flat, and generally bulges when screwed into. The heat would likely cause a bit of warping too. Funnily enough, I've never used it with melamine tape, but only 1mm ABS so I have some different experiences with it. * 1mm ABS tends to have a little bit less recoil, but the guides are a bit of a weak point, I'd agree there. I think the thicker material lets you get away with cleaning it less because its stiff enough to push the glue out of the way 🤣 * The cutter is impossible to cut through thicker banding, needs more of a mechanical advantage or in my case, a mallet to hit it hard enough to cut through. * It'd be great if there was a featherboard/roller pushing the panel down - 99% of the time that edging was out of alignment for long pieces for me was when I've had less pressure on it. A wider table would help, but I think featherboard would be the best approach * For the 100m rolls of 1mm ABS, the outrigger table is actually completely useless. Not far enough away from the guides. I had to make my own 'spool holder' that's about 50cm away. Agreed that its a super expensive tool - I had to convince myself to buy one, but now I have it I'm glad I've got it.
I mispoke and meant to say Phenolic, which I think has better heat properties. I haven't had a chance yet to run 1mm ABS through just yet, but will be doing so when I tackle inside the house. I really hope it isn't too hard to cut through, as that would just drive me crazy. I think having an infeed, wider table or some feeders would really help but it would add to the already decent footprint. For the ABS, plyco sell it in 50m rolls, which should make the outrigger table ok enough, I haven't even seen 100m rolls...where do you get them from? Overall, I am happy I bought it as it did speed some things up, but $800 is a bit to spend.
Hi. Stumbled across your channel and thoroughly enjoying your content. Great job on the miter station 👌
Thank you! Still have a few little bits to finish off on the mitre saw station, but very happy with it so far.
Reasonable Comments that Carbatec should Pick up! I recently wrote to their management after really good & helpful service from one of their sales people in Richmond... I am glad I told him personally because I never got a response from their management in Brisbane..... which was a dissappointment... I agree with your comments about the instruction manuals Thank goodness for someone like David Stanton who actually takes the time to explain & show things in a good way .... I did press the 'like' button, The Emoji jumped up like usual but it didn't seem the register that I had been there..... Marcus
Thanks Marcus, I really like Carbatec, the team is amazing and knowledgeable. All the best!
Better off using rock wool to dampen the dust vac.
Absolutely, but this was something I had already for another project. Will see how it goes, and probably deal with it a little later
If you place some limit switches at the two desired extremes of where your 3d printed rollers go you could remove the guess work on when to let go of the remote. As a viewer, the feedback I would give about the length of your video is that you could cut out a of of the 'trying out' sections of video. You were trying out your mechanism about 5-6 times in this video, when you one pre-build 'moved with your hands' motion to explain when your going to do, then building steps, and then one showing it working at the end would have been enough, we don't need to see your testing it after every step unless you need to show some kind of problem you were not expecting when you showed your plan at the start comes up. With regard to the actual result, good job!
Great suggestion, will need to grab some limit switches. Also, thanks for the feedback, I probably got excited that it’s finally working after living in my head for the past 3 months. Appreciate the feedback!
What ever happened to KISS Keep I Simple Stupid. As an exercise great as a practical matter stupid. Look for something useful. My opinion entirely
Redirecting horizontal motion to vertical with wedges, 3D rollers... Why not a bellcrank?
I think I might put a short video together on all the other ways I could have done it, I thought of something similar, and today I learnt they are called Bell Cranks. Thank you!
Earned yourself a subscribe sir! Really enjoyed the style, the healthy balance between talking and music, really liked it. And the length was fine for me! You might consider getting some switches too act as auto stops so the actuator doesn't extend too much, and it would do away with the quick reflexes on using the remote! Please keep up the great videos!
Thank you, very much appreciate the kind words. I think adding some limit switches is a very easy and quick upgrade. Will need to grab some off eBay. Much appreciate the suggestion, there is always something that can be improved!
I’m really interested in doing this but I can’t be watching a 35 minute video. Saw the time and instantly put me off.
Understandable, hard to balance detail and breezing over a subject. I usually stick to about 15 mins, thought about breaking this one up into 2 parts - might do that in the future. Appreciate the feedback.
@@RichmondWoodworks ah, that’s just me. I could just watch it in parts. Didn’t mean to complain - not my usual style, must have been a bad day 😀.
@@plammo1775 Appreciate the feedback either way 😀
It's amazing what you can find when you pull up a roof! We discovered Wisteria growing up a wall cavity when we were demoing the kitchen.
Wow, it is amazing what happens when the plants are left unchecked!
Maybe a limit switch so you don’t over push?
Hi, just found you channel after looking at can vac dust extractor. Were did you buy it from .
Welcome to the channel, got it from mmvic.com.au/
Hi there, Marcus again, That is a nice way to sort things out in a small workshop... I'd actually ditch the remote! because frankly we have too many of the silly things & you would only need to use it when changing the buckets.....( that said we wish them for other things) I was in the chemists waiting for a Script the other day (I still use Paper scripts & I am glad of that with the news this week we had of the information breach this week in Australia) I saw that even an electric toothbrush has an app....... I had a remote with a reversing camera I purchased for my vehicle some time ago. (I was using it more as a rear view mirror) I misplaced the remote..... but then must have disconnected the battery in the car for some maintenance reason completly seperate to the reversing camera & It reverted back, so If a car passed me on the drivers side it showed on the camera on the passengers side! Perhaps why I noticed & wrote to you a week or so ago!......The most disconcerting 20 Klms I have ever driven!!!!...... The people where I purchased the camera helped me & used another remote as I couldn't find mine...I very nearly purchased another! But as you might well know, as soon as you commit to that new one, you find the missing item.... And I did find it a couple of weeks later........ I am enjoying your journey so Keep it up.....Marcus
Hi Marcus, appreciate the kind words. You are right, buying online can be a little hit and miss.
Great build! Australias woodworking scene is bustling it seems. Just a small comment from a person who consumes a lot of UA-cam content: You might want to revisit your background music. Either a longer loop or turn down the volume. Have a subscribe!
Thank you for the feedback, I just moved from iMovie to Premier Pro…still working out the quirks. Very much appreciate the feedback!
Hopefully you kept some of those old timbers.
I was considering it, but most of it was pretty rotten and cheap.
All looks very nice! New to your channel. I will have to browse your other videos now 👍
Thank you, Enjoy!
Only measure 45 times? You some sort of pro or something?!😜 I’m still double guessing myself at that stage!!🤣 Great work mate. Loving the vids👍
45 times on a good day! 😜
Where did you get the countersink drill bit from?
I bought it online from Scrooz.com.au
What a triumph. Something to aspire to. No wonder your chuffed. You could be “the Dennis of the South” at this rate. 😊 Possibly just me, but I would have watched on if it had been twice as long …… probably will be once I watch the speeded segments in slow mo. Look forward to watching how you deal with the exhausts. Would have liked to see how you access the Camvac to operate the motors and empty etc. Look forward to the next one. Cheers Howard
Thanks Howard, that would be quite the honour indeed! I have some pretty cool ideas on the exhaust, running it through the muffler but also something else too. I will need to see if I can make it work. I will make sure I do a run down on how I access everything once it is all put together, and also probably do a lessons learnt and what I would change if I was to do it again. All the very best, Luke.
@@RichmondWoodworks yes, lessons learnt can often be the most valuable part of content. I always appreciate its inclusion, as it show’s integrity.
New to the channel but big fan so far. Been wanting to switch to hooked's camvac setup for a while, excited to see how yours turns out 👍
Thank you David, too kind. It is all slowly coming together, working on Part 3 at the moment...just waiting for some glue to dry. Pretty excited about the dust cyclone. Very similar to Dennis's version, but with a little twist.
What is the original purpose of the large bag that you have now tossed? Thanks for an interesting video!! 🤓👍
The large bag stops dust getting to the motors, which are also covered by filters. It doesn’t capture the dust, the dust sits directly in the metal bin.
Thanks very much for your video. I bought the 3 motor version…. also inspired by Dennis. I live in Sydney and during a trip to Melbourne, bought the Camvac. I just came across your video today. I also came across the file to print those housings, but have no printer. In the end I purchased the filters only a few days ago, after months of procrastinating and hand wringing about the postage cost,as I couldn’t find another option. They are on their way. Postage was a killer at around AU $145. 😢 The suppliers “Stockroom” in Canada are nice to deal with however. Meanwhile, yesterday I hooked it up to my new (first) thicknesser through the super dust deputy 4/5 ( like the one in your background) that I also set up yesterday, with mixed results. It was the first time I’ve tried to use anything other than a shop vac. Still learning, and desperate to improve. I also would like to build a sound box, and welcome any content on the Camvac in general, I’ve found very little content that helps. I’m hoping you’ll share your progress with the Camvac. BTW I tried to measure the air flow with the 3 motors running, but it was off the scale. Subscribed! Cheers Howard
Hi Howard, Thanks for subscribing! The postage costs was something I just couldn't get past - I think the add-on is amazing from Stockroom, great little idea. I do wish they came as standard on the camvac, or at least something you can buy as an add-on here in Australia. When you say mixed results, it wasn't picking up the chip from the thicknesser? The video for the enclosure of the camvac is coming out this weekend, and I am currently recording the cylcone box with bin - I hope to tackle the sound box / muffler soon - I have some ideas loosely based on Dennis' design, but will mix it up a little to fix my space. I measured the 2 motor version down to a 90mm PVC pipe, and it was off the scale too...my anonomometer only goes to 30m/s. Curious where you got your Camvac from? I got mine for MMVIC, curious if there are any other stockists around.
@@RichmondWoodworks Thanks for your reply. Yes! Only half the chips are caught by the bin with the cyclone. I’d quickly put everything together to run some hardwood edging for my workbench. It’s taking up floor space where my trailer normally goes, and need to complete. I’ll need to revisit the whole cyclone thing now that the jobs nearly done. That’s great news about upcoming videos, that’s exactly what I now need. Look forward to them. Yes, bought from MMVic. I think they are the sole distributor for Australia. I know you’ll want to move on with your topics, but it’s great to know that you’re doing content about the Camvac. Thanks once again for taking the time to share.
@@howardbecdove9780 It sounds like we are solving the same problem, so hopefully the videos help - or at least give a little extra motivation 😉
Thanks again for this. 1 suggestion and 1 question. - As you get people all over the world viewing your videos. Maybe a good idea to also show results in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute), Then it's easier for people to compare results. - Where did you purchase the Dust Collector from? I live in Sydney. Thanks - Steve
haha, I was thinking the same thing when I recorded the video initially...however the anomometer I happen to purchase doesn't have CFM as a setting, maybe I need to buy a different one, I suppose I could have done the conversion myself. Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I bought the dust collector from mmvic.com.au/ they have all the variants of the CamVac, however, when I bought the Record Power Air Cleaner the remote didn't work, I have emailed a couple times without a response - so they may not be so responsive if something goes wrong. It could have just been me though.
Oh my god, I feel honored. And here is the reason why I asked you this question. I am designing a dust collection system for the CNC machine that I am building and through experiment I saw that a good cyclon eliminates most of the big particles and for the most dangerous small ones filters are both expensive and hard to maintain. That is why I was designing a water curtain to use after the cyclon to trap the fine dust and get rid of it properly. Here in Türkiye, we have 3 motor (1200w x 3) vacumes that are easily available and very cheap I started with them, and removing the filter and using only the cyclone and the water curtain yielded really good results. So I got myself a 5.5kw centrifugal fan and started to design the same system but this time for 150mm ducting. currently, I am trying to build a cyclon from a 55-gallon (208 Liters) barrel, and soon a bigger water curtain.
Oh Wow! I would love to see the end result, very curious how the water curtain would function (as I google water curtains and dust collection). Looking at hundreds of videos on dust collection over the years where they have a cylcone, I believe there is always a level of dust going into the dust collector itself. However, it is very very small, I have seen a couple systems where there are two cylcones which may help? I would love to have a dust collector that you don't really have to maintain, that way I would not need to really access it at all. In the next video I go through creating the new dust collector cabinet, I think it makes really good use of the corner of a workshop, and not having much need to access it frequently because of the cyclone. Thanks again for the idea to do the baseline and look forward to hopefully seeing your dust collection setup, please do share it when you make it.
This episode is quite a short one, but the next one is going to be a longer form episode. Also, there may be a little easter egg/hint on what I am going to be building in the next one! Take care everyone.
If you look at the Early Few video's of the 'Corner house project' (an english couple who purchased a double story stone irish cottage) you will see what I mean about yours...... This is a (hopefully productive)comment!.... not a criticism... I think the side lane on your house is on ther left hand side as you look at your house from the front! your shed is on the right hand side of your garden you look at your house from the street.... I think they (The corner house project) told me the same thing a similar issue with the camera, when I commented on the car......Sorry I noticed it with yours but as I was interested in your progress & I understand the excitement you had as well whilst doing your workshop it was difficult for me to follow as cabinets or fences switched sides.....I have subscribed & batch watches your series, I think you have done a pretty good job so far.... Where was it you got those bulk screws?.... ( Scrooze or similar) you should also try to refer to some more of the more specialist supplies...... 'Bunnings' are really not that cheap, when you look at it..... People at Carbatec in Clayton for example ar far more helpful than some of those you might find in the bigger green stores, Yes they might be convenient! but we cannot afford to lose the good, more specialised stores.......

Thank you for the kind words - hope to keep improving the quality as I learn more about cameras, lighting, etc. The quality gets a little better with the newer videos. Scrooz was the place, I find they have pretty decent quality, but there are many places. I have purchased most of my tools at Carbetec, the team there is amazing but I also go to Timbecon too, which is great. They also have a very knowledgeable team too, and are a little closer to me.
Nice to see some Aussie input! Please don't invert (mirror reverse) the images.... It is really hard to take in what you are really doing & would be enough to dump looking! There is an english couple who are renovating an old stone house in Ireland ..... wheb they started they took us on a drive in the local area the car constantly changed from RH drive to LH drive.. it might be just your starting up! but please try to stabllise that if you can!... otherwise it ooks pretty good...... things will get better & easier but Are you NSW Based?..... I am in Victoria......Marcus
Hey Marcus, I totally agree, the camera I was using, the DJI Osmo Pocket 3 had a bug, until recently where even if you asked not to mirror the image it did it anyway. Was incredibly frustrating, had to manually flip each clip in the editing software, guess I missed a few. The later videos that had all been fixed up! I thought no one would notice 🤷 Victoria based, enjoying the wonderful winter here!
