I’ve been a wood worker for about 3 years, I’m 15 years old. Luckily I’ve been blessed with a workshop from my dad, but it doesn’t take a lot to be a woodworker. Buy a couple different hand saws, a plane, some chisels, etc. you don’t need some fancy power tools, you can do a lot with hand tools as long as you got some extra time.
I live here in Pittsburgh would love to come see your place when your all in operation and set up in your new home. By the way I was a small black box Oneida on your bench let me know it your going to sell it. Need one that model. Ty
Keep it up guys in this thread. I'm 38 also from western PA and I have been employed as a carpenter for 21 years now. It's hard work but we'll worth it. Everyone needs something built or fixed. Always make sure you stretch your body a little before you hurt yourself moving something heavy. Went to CWCTC. Awesome Tech school. Good luck in life, keep it up. You will be rare in your generation.
What is so significant and good about this and so many videos going up on UA-cam is to see dust extraction and air filtration as cool and exciting. My generation saw it as a chore, drain on funds, un-macho, inconvenient, or didn't even think of it at all except to blow out of the way from hiding a cut line. Fortunately, I was just a heavy-duty diyer and went decades not making anything. Many pro-builders died young because of such attitudes. Of course, tools - hand then machine - didn't cater for dust control. If I was starting out - I'd invest up front in dust management and tools that considered it as a core feature both in workshop and on site and even when working outside. I remember hand cutting cutting dozens of tenons in cheap resinous softwood to make a big rack of shelves in a flat I was living in - headache for days, might as well have been sniffing clue. Having said all that, it's amusing to see someone turn out with full Festool but not have a clue how to use it or actually control the dust the gear is designed to help with. No idea how they afford such stuff before they know what they're doing.
very true what you said about our generation and our approach to shop safety. I am 70 and my lungs are ok due to quitting smoking many years ago but I destroyed my hearing.
Add a few heavy duty magnet strips to the bottom of the inside of floor sweep box. It will help catch any loose screws or brads from being sucked up and damaging your system. Along with hopefully preventing metal from bouncing around inside metal piping at a high velocity and creating a spark and a possible fire inside the collector. Plus your insurance inspector will like you more.
Man, I love these videos. I’m still getting into the craft so my main wood source is recycling pallets. So… on that note. I officially challenge yinz to upcycle those shipping pallets into a market worthy project.
Hahah thanks Ben, we use our pallets as pallets haha, those days are behind us. But if you wanna see someone who crushes that, check out Jackman Works!
One thing I've seen in another video for shop dust collection was actually adding some magnets on the floor sweep intakes so that they would catch any screws/nails/metal shavings and they wouldn't damage anything in the dust collection system.
@11:56 that poor dust deputy in the background.... Someday, I'll have a shop that can use something like this. In the mean time, Dust Deputy does a bang up job for me. Very jealous, and very nice work!
That’s a great system! I had a dyi wood shop in our garage.. dust collection consisted of me getting out the shop vac after I’d made a colossal mess. I’m jealous and I don’t even have my wood shop anymore! 😆 I love watching you guys create and have been binge watching lately. Thanks for all the entertaining videos!
I just installed new duct system similar to yours and I am as excited as you! It is so important to have a good system and it is often underestimated when building a shop. Especially for new guys into woodworking. Great job!
Had an idea. Replace the metal barrels with the white 55 gallon food grade plastic barrels. Mount leds in the lids. That way the lights shines into the bucket. And you can easily see how full your barrels are. Or do what we use to do in our tire shop. Take the pipe through the wall and outside and into a 18 wheeler trailer. Id suggedt just a open top trailer you keep under a awning. Then you can probably sell the stuff.
Yeah…unless you live in costal California, your heating and cooling cost will be insane. I just spent $30k on insulation for my shop. Not going to piss away my conditioned air.
I went to the coastal west coast a few years back during one of y’all’s heatwaves. And was laughing. 95 with 3% humidity.. we get 100+ with 60% yearly.
@@JoeyTheSinic who is “y’all.” I am sure as shit not from there. North Missouri. I have Texas heat and humidity and (in some years) Wisconsin winters. And I did enough roughing it in various sandboxes. So, yeah, I’m gonna be comfortable.
I've already seen and liked all those other videos since the shop move.. But that sure system is legit! So three of you are awesome sauce.. great video. Keep up the awesomeness.. take care
Yo, next, it's time to setup some automated relays to open/close the blast gates. Table saw draws power, relay senses it, opens the table saw blast gate, other blast gates close. There are a few videos on YT about this, pretty cool.
After spending money on everything, you got the choice of spending more for the dolly or buying some casters and a piece of plywood or other scraps to make a dolly. Either way, she'll do.
Pro Tip using the broom...PRICELESS!!!! When I did mine, I used a rake to support it. What was I thinking?!?! A rake has nothing to do with dust! A broom is the obvious choice!! 🤪😜😝
An idea for an update to that dust collection. Have you thought about electronic gates? They can wire into the machine on off switch so the gate auto opens when the machine turns on, and off when the machine turns off
Pretty impressive system, guys!!! 😃 I run my (small) shop with a cyclone separator, a plastic bucket and a vacuum cleaner in a small cart! 😂 Anyway, stay safe there with your families! 🖖😊
Hopefully the system comes with a grounding strap. If not that tubing is going to carry one hell of a static charge.. I would hate to be the one that walks up and touches the metal tube after its been running...lmao
Guys, when you are on the Order Picker/man platform for the forklift, you need to be wearing fall arrest harnesses. Falling anything over 4 feet is going to risk breaking bones. Falling over 6 feet can easily be lethal. I just don't want one misstep to give one of you a very bad day or your last day ever.
Looks like a great dust collection system which will save your lungs in the long run. I did notice that John looked like he was into polishing the pole, must come from experience
Katz-moses is working on a series of dust collection things, one of the things he mentions disproving in the future is the risk of combustion from dust collection.
@@jmac2o229 True enough about spontaneous explosions. However the risk with catching metal bits is a spark starting to smolder in the dust bin and starting a fire.
Love the wheels on the bottom of the 55-gallon drums, but with a fork lift, would it be any easier to build up something to lift and get out easier? Meant to be constructive. I know my anvil is a pain to move on similar wheels.
Can I ask why you don’t take the safety precautions you should be and wear a harness so that if something is to happen yiu don’t come falling to the floor?
You know you are a shop junkie when you run upstairs to tell your husband that this is the system You want for your future shop. He calls these types of videos, my wood porn. You guys are killing it in the new space! Keep ‘me coming!
John, Originally from the “burgh” grew up by coach Cowher..78 era. Anyway just got a bad lung report (nodules) and I’m making my move to what I should have done years ago. The V system is what Oneida recommended, but my existing ductwork would have to be changed and by budget can’t handle that…Mark S at Oneida is great to work with and said the Supercell would work with my existing 4” pvc ducting. My question is whether the new “turbo” would benefit my shop or stay with the basic supercell ?? Any input would be appreciated.
It is a great system but I always wonder why people don’t move the motor and collection outside the shop. That would remove the need for in line filters and you could increase the collection drum/dumpster/box to what ever size you wanted without taking up valuable interior shop space and no motor noise.
Not being a smartass, did you guys put copper wire through for static? I'm still learning so I can set up my own little hobby shop. Does this system not need that? Love your videos!
@@John_Malecki If the body of the dust collector is metal than it's grounded and if there is direct metal to metal contact between the collector and the metal pipe, then yes it is indeed grounded.
@@John_Malecki I'm by no means an electrician so I could be totally wrong but doesn't the rubber hose that connect each machine disrupt that continuous metal contact?
@@brettitchkow9080 The machines are grounded in and of themselves, so that system is fine. The rest of the dust system is continuous metal to the machine which is also grounded.
We wouldnt have access to the collector from our parking lot. It didnt make sense for our layout. Plus, we're not that big to need something that large
Hey John if you and your families come down the Charleston SC for a vacation Would you stop in our small maintenance shop and help us figure out something. We need a dust collection system.
