How I Installed a Dust Extractor Outside My Shed to Save Space!
I needed to upgrade my dust extraction but precious workspace in my small shed is at a premium...so I put my new extractor outside to save space!
This video documents how I did it, from choosing the extractor, building the shed for it to go in, installing the extractor and getting the extraction pipework from outside to inside the shed.
I also share all my mistakes so you can avoid them!

I Build A Toolshed...But Should I Have Just Bought One?!
Переглядів 19 тис.2 місяці тому
We often think DIY is cheaper...but is it really? I build a toolshed and compare it to one I could have bought online to see whether you should build it yourself or simply buy it! Some plans for the Toolshed frame are here: bit.ly/3XLwMYM. I didn't model out all the trim bits, the door or the cladding but those bits you can work out along the way. I also recommend cutting the roof after you've ...

Very nice workshop.
Great video buddy. Didn’t realise a new one had dropped so disappointed to be 8 days behind. I particularly like how much time and effort you’ve put in to avoid having to rewire the plug!
Great video. Would love details of where you got your flooring from?
Thanks Andrew! Here is the link to the flooring www.factory-direct-flooring.co.uk/plain-colours-solid-dark-grey-919d-vinyl-flooring. I also bought the glue to stick it down and the edging sealant from here too (I'm not affiliated).
“No. Not easy. I cocked it up” 😂
I need to build something similar. I can guarantee I will cock it up !
Well you're welcome in my club if you do mate but I'm sure you won't - good luck with build if you do take it on.
More people should do something like this. I imagine once the dust is collected it is far easier to manage it outside than inside the shop. Great work!
Great project will give more room inside the shed, having said that you must turn the extractor around as you have got the hose bent to much which will really cut down on air flow
Yeah I wish it was the other way round but there's no way to do that. The extractor is going to get put through its paces soon as I have loads of oak I need to run through it, so I'll see how it performs. if it ends up being a problem I might build a partition in the extractor shed and mount on that so at least it's turned 90 degrees.
@@shed_time Hello mate i hope you didnt take what i said the wrong way i was just trying to help, to be honest if i did a video on how my shed is set up and planned out i would be getting messages for years saying how i got things wrong some nicely and some not so nice, we all live and learn. Anyway hope you and your family have a brilliant christmas and a great new year
@@sandman2651 Not at all mate, I thought your comment was spot on and I genuinely do wish it was the other way around! I'm sorry if it came across that way, I honestly thought nothing of it other than I was glad that you took the time to comment on my video. I hope you and your family have a great Christmas too and look forward to speaking again in the new year 👍
@@shed_time I didnt take your reply wrong way i just know i can be a bit blunt at times lol
The main reason I got a 3d printer was to make dust connectors, it drove me nuts how nothing matches😅 I have the same extractor for my CNC, it's slightly underpowered but nice and quiet, cheers
Same here! Thats exactly why I bought one and then I just haven't stopped - love it. Good to know about your experience with the extractor. I'd love to own a CNC one day - I've seen loads of videos on my feed about the new Altmill lately.
This is exactly why I need to know someone with a 3D printer 😂
@@shed_time I've seen that one I started with a second hand machine from CNC step, it had its limitations, now I have an I2RA , I love it, I see axminster tools now stock them, the process is a bit of a learning curve but well worth it
Good video! I just subscribed. I wonder if it would have been better to mount the extractor the other way around so that the pipe comes straight out and avoid the 180 degree turn in the flexible hose? If you get trouble with airflow it might be worth a try.
Thanks for watching Kalev! Yeah, I would have liked the hose going straight through without the bend but there's no way of doing that with the position of the shed. I'm going to see how it works out and then, if I have to, maybe build a partition wall in the extractor shed so I can turn it round 90 degrees.
Great little project but you would have saved money using so pipe instead of flexi hose I understand the corrugating reduces air flow and cause turbulence in the system
Thanks George. By so pipe do you mean soil pipe? I think I will eventually replace the long hose with a solid pipe of some sort for the air flow reason you mentioned - I left it long for now whilst I figure out where my planer thicknesser will live.
@ Yes Adam I have been watching quite a few videos re dust extraction using 2 vacuums at the moment but not ideal 🤨
Thanks for the video. Thinking of doing something similar. I hesitate on one point though: when using the extractor on a cold day, will all the warmth from inside your shed be sucked out?
Cheers Bruce. I do hear they suck the warm air out so it could be an issue...and my shed isn't particularly warm to start with! I'll see how it goes - I've got a lot of Oak to run through the thicknesser soon so I'll report back.
Great video. Really impressed with the 3d printed parts well done.
Thanks for watching - appreciate it!
Brilliant Adam, good presenting style, we all appreciate the honesty😊
Cheers Peter - it was all going so well too!
Hi what model is compressor. Thanks Doug.
Hi Doug, it's the Hyundai HY5508; a little 8L one. here's a link: bit.ly/3ZyumNY. It's been great for getting rid of dust and I'll buy a nail gun for it at some point too.
Thanks.👍
Great video. I’ve looked at something similar but don’t have room to the side of my workshop. It does however have a loft space above which I’m thinking of using if I can find a way to get the collected dust back down. I might have to revisit this idea now in the new year.
Cheers Ross, hope all is well with you. The loft idea could work if you piped the dust down to ground level somehow, maybe a hard pipe down to a barrel / cyclone....I thought about replacing the bag on my extractor with a barrel but need to do some more research first.
@ that’s what I was thinking, it’s just how to fit it all into an awkward space. Time will tell on that one I think.
We all make mistakes, the important thing is we learn from them. Nice build anyway.
Cheers Steve, appreciate it!
Good video and well presented and I like the three D printed adaptors and other items, Very neat install as well.
Thanks...looks neater from a distance!
How much did it cost to wire the shed is it expensive
Hi Brian, sorry for the delay. It was around £800 I think. So yes quite expensive! He was here two days and the cable had to be routed all the way round my house to the shed which is quite a long way. Got to say it was worth it though.
@ thank you so much I really appreciate you reply as it’s a very busy time for you being Christmas so thank you I can now add that to the rough outline of costs
i disagree with your advice to pick cordless tools (exception of screwdrivers), you work in a small woodshop so you have access to power everywhere and we have no idea how battery technology will evolve, it's a risk. Buying battery tools only make sense if you work outside for a customer.
Hi Tony, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I kind of agree about your risk point, I'd be mightily put out if Dewalt suddenly changed their battery tech and made mine obsolete! But that said, if we're always waiting for next iteration would we buy any sort of tech at all? Moore's law and all that...For me, the cords on tools I need to move about like my circular saw for example, are just annoying and battery powered tools offer a sense of freedom.
Hi, what is the largest size it will cut? in official information it is 65mm, but in reality it will cut 70mm or maybe even more. How far did you manage to cut it? Regards.
I can't say I've done any max height test on it I'm afraid. It would probably cut a little higher if you took the dust collection hood off (this sits behind the blade and does get in the way occasionally). Good luck with your purchase - whichever route you go down :-)
what is better ? Hikoki C8FSHG or Ryobi ems216 ??? whats max hight of cut ??
Hi @ostry599! I don't have any experience with he Ryobi so I'm not sure - they look very similar though!
What software do you use for the diagram at 5:00 ?
Hi Jordan, that's a Fusion 360 animation. I model most of my builds in Fusion first so I can get an understanding of how best to put them together. I then create drawings from the model to work to and if I'm making a video then I'll do an animation as well. All available with the free version - highly recommended.
Great filming, production and personality - nice one!
Thank you Stuart! I appreciate you taking the time to comment - your DIY videos have helped me out no end over the years so this is a bit surreal to me!
1:03 @shed_time did you build the potting house or was that shop bought??
Hi Kevin, I did build the potting house. It's basically the same principle as the tool shed except of course I've used polycarbonate sheets all around to let the sun in. The sheets are inset into the frame which involves routing a groove where they need to go and slotting the sheets in as you assemble it all. I'm pleased with how it looks but assembly took a bit of time!
My toolbox is bigger than that tool "shed" 😂
That must be a pain to carry around.
I'd rather make it myself for £200-ish than some chintzy £160 one that's going to need constant maintenance because it uses substandard materials.
I'm with you!
Great work Adam, better to build than to buy 👍🏼
Thank you - appreciate that!
Now I'd really like to see you make a beautiful shed on the cheap, using recycled materials. I recently discovered you can make aluminium roof tiles out of used drinks cans! What will people think of next, lol :)
Ha, weirdly I'm looking into metal roofing for my 'proper' shed at the moment but I don't fancy the effort involved in the drinks can idea!
Going to Wickes won’t of helped your costs lol
True, my next video is going to be a woodyard vs diy store cost comparison for a bin store I'm building - I've had lots of comments about using Wickes!
Great build, just found your UA-cam channel and great diy content look forward to more videos.
Thanks Simon, appreciate that!
@@shed_time I look forward to your next project. 👍
Love your workshop which is a similar size to mine but yours is really well organised. As for building your own which will tend to be more expensive because your cladding will be a lot thicker and won't be full of the lowest grade framing which the pre packed one will be and you can build yours to an exact fit for purpose size if you wish
Thank you! Trust me, it doesn't always look like that! I agree on your building your own comment too - I just assembled a shed for a local school that they bought online and I was shocked at how scrawny the timber was.
@@shed_time all the frame woods has knots in it which becomes weak points too
your shed will last much longer standing on bricks or a 3x2 slab.
Yes, I agree. It will stand on some slabs eventually once I convince the kids that the trampoline they no longer use can be taken down to make space! For now, the black jack paint on the feet will keep it safe.
This is brilliant and the costs is well worth it as you've used thicker cladding than on a normal low budget shed the door is also made of much better wood and wood thickness and you've finished it to quite a high standard considering your budget limitations and add to that the the companies who make these shed's buy the wood in bulk which is always a massive saving. So all in all you smashed it and if i were you I'd be sat with a nice cuppa feeling very smug lol nice work
Cheers Andy, I appreciate you taking the time to comment. I do give it a little smug smile every time I walk past it!
cpould of used pallet wood for cladding saving £66.00
Well, yes I could have done. I've done a few pallet builds in the past and they've turned out well, but on this occasion the time spend dismantling, de-nailing the pallets etc. wasn't really an option. No doubt a good way to save money though if you have the time.
You can get a trade acc with wickes by sending in a photo of a buisness card and letterhead...easy to get off the net.
Interesting...I might look into that.
One other difference with a D.I.Y version is that when you tell your friends that you built it someone will possibly turn round and say. “That looks great. 😃 I could do with one of them. 🤔 Would you build me one? .. there’ll be a couple of pints in it. 🙂 “
Ha Yes I get that a lot now and to be honest I love it when that happens - I've got a bit of backlog building up actually!
@@shed_time might be able to get a bulk discount on your materials then. 😁
Just bought an identical one to the B&Q shed for £59 on eBay. Every time I walk past it I’m reminded of the £140/weekend that I saved.
Well to each their own @kuppenbender1, saving money is always nice.
Im lucky got a timber merchant only ten minutes from my home, half the price of the big D.I.Y stores near me, my timber merchant will also cut timber to any size required ifyou needed that service, i noticed the other day they also supply some timber to some big D.I.Y stores near them.
Nice, that's good that they cut it to size for you - one of the challenges with going to my timber yard is some of it won't fit in my Golf, so I can't just nip there and pick the odd bit up.
@@shed_time my local timber merchant are top notch , you can give them a cutting list and they are quite happy to do it for you , you may have to come back later or they will deliver it within two days of ordering the timber, I've only got a small car so it depends what I'm making also. The only thing I find expensive is hardware and fittings sometimes . You can also pick up off cuts of wood and timber for smaller projects quite cheaply.
Looks great and you should be happy with the result. I think as some others have said hauling your lazy bum out of bed (I am more referring to me on that comment 🙂) at 8am on a Sat morning to go to local timber merchant will always work out cheaper than B&Q or Wickes. However that said we all do it and that is why these stores exist 🙂
Thanks Colin! Yes, completely agree on the timber merchant and I have a good one near me so I'm lucky. I do love a good trip down to Wickes though I must admit.
It might have cost £40 more to build your own but this build would be alot sturdier than a B&Q bought one. I bought a shed once to put the bikes in as my wife and i were fed up of covering them up all the time with a Tarp, and especially on windy days and these bikes were not cheap, anyway after putting it together it did the job with the bikes but i said to my wife that it won't last long, and sure enough the sides began to wobble and become loose, so i had to put some 2x2s in the corners and thicken up the door with some 4x1s, it was a good job that i had this wood on hand and it didn't cost me, but i told my wife that i'm gonna build my own for the bikes when this crappy one eventually falls apart.

Hi Barry, thanks for taking the time to comment and subscribe - much appreciated! I hear you on the wobbly sides - I built a pre-fab shed for a local school at the weekend which they bought online. When I'd finished it I went round and put extra braces on the corners etc. because I was worried a strong wind might blow it down. I couldn't get over how think the structural timber was, it felt like trellis.
This is great and exactly what I want to build myself! Do you have a parts / shopping list for the components you could share? and perhaps the outer dimensions? Thanks!
Hi @dotjpegg4905, I've just put a link to the build plan for the frame in the video description for you. It includes a parts list and some notes to help you source the other stuff you will need. Hope this helps and good luck with your build!
Thank you, that’s super helpful!
I built similar myself - even sourcing timber from a timber yard, it was more expensive than an off the shelf tool shed. But like yours, it will last way longer! For the roof, I used Osb, but then put a couple of thin manmade slates on top…(Cembrit Jutland Double Slate 600 x 600mm) - less than a fiver each and will outlast roofing felt 👍. Great vid - first time I’ve found your content - liked & subscribed 😊
Hi Mal, thanks for watching, commenting, liking and subscribing - much appreciated! Interesting about your roof, I need to redo my 'proper' shed roof at some point soon and was thinking of going with felt with something over the top (probably metal sheets), don't know if thats overkill or not but I want it to last!
@@shed_time yeah, the other stuff I hear good reports about but haven’t used myself is the rubber sheet roofing that you bond to Osb. About 6 years ago I made a small 2.4m x 1.5m shed and just put the profiled steel sheets on but I wouldn’t use them again without pay8ng for ones with an anti condensation layer built in :)
Great build! Who cares if it cost a bit more. You spent this time perfecting your craft AND teaching countless others (like myself) how to start projects such as this. Thank you!
Thanks @tokenfilipino, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment!
New subscriber. A brilliant video. Keep them coming.
Thank you The Happy DIYer, I appreciate you taking the time to comment! Welcome on board :-)
Holy crap lumber in the UK is expensive!
Yes, it can be - it's not as bad as it was during Covid, prices were crazy then. As many people have mentioned I could have saved some money going to a timber yard but that wasn't the point of this video.
I have to build something like this soon and this was super helpful! The other benefit to build over buy is that you can build the exact size you need rather than settling for what you can get your hands on Thanks!
Glad it was helpful Taylor and thanks for watching! I agree on the sizing point too - major benefit.
Great build! I would hand over my money for your vesion without a doubt. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jordan!
For rough constructions like the frame I use roof slats (40x60 mm) which cost me about 50 pence per meter. For tongue and groove cladding I pay 7 GBP per sqm (11 mm) or 9 GBP (15 mm)
Thats pretty good Hans! I am definitely going to experiment with other material for frame construction etc - got a bin store and cushion storage chest to build soon so will try some different approaches out on those and see how the costs stack up.
Always informative & a great watch 💪. Thanks Adam
Cheers Mate!
Well if it lasts twice or three times as long and cost 25% more, seems like the cheaper and better solution to me.
I think so too - I didn't factor that into my conclusion and maybe I should have!
