“Watch Matt put all of his body weight into tightening these fittings for 30 minutes” 😂 Still amazed by the lining up of the trunk to the cyclone. Like you said, couldn’t have planned it that well if you tried.
Nice layout of the Dust Collector. Having it out in the barn is so much better than a shop in the living quarters. At the best of times, small dust particles get pretty well everywhere. The wife will love you for this. Nice video
@@idontthinkso666 yah, I’m jealous too. I just moved my shop from a 900 sqft space to 140sqft space because “The boss” said we needed to build and apartment 🙄.
Barn Dust Collection ---DONE! Nice job getting it installed single-handed. One thing that helps with the sound dampener is the spray foam on the walls in the barn compared to the drywall surface in the shop. You could add some egg-crate foam to the wall behind the shop dust collection system which would help dampen the sound somewhat. They use that stuff in sound studios and it works great. You may have gotten some of that type of foam in packaging materials with some of your equipment purchases. It couldn't hurt and it could be installed with foam-safe spray glue..
Your sound (decibel) difference is known as the open field effect. An aspect of sound waves is that they have, "pressure", and for example, noise/sound level testing on large machinery at one time was done outdoors to eliminate "pressure" and known as an "open field test". Without the tightly enclosing walls (the garage) the sound "pressure" is less, and you get a lower decibel reading, and reaction on your eardrums.
We have the same driver, it has a sheet metal screw setting. It works really well, you don't need to worry about overspinning the fastener, the driver stops automatically.
Consider dumping sawdust into your compost garden. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace Matt.
You can dump it into compost but wood is mostly carbon so it’s missing other minerals…you can add grass clippings (nitrogen), but you’re low in trace minerals which can cause poor results if not added.
You have good lay out of the system and it works. I understand what you were saying about blind luck verses planing that tube line up, yes sometime blind luck is still around. But you are meticulous and luck is more matter of fact. Your shop is well laid out, it looks great.
I would move the collection drum under the shelf and put two stakes out above the barrel rim to be able to lift the top off and rest on the stakes so you can roll out the barrel to empty. Really nice setup for dust collection in the barn.
had a huge old cyclone in the foundry's pattern shop i worked at 35 years ago . they had it mounted outside, much quiter inside that way. i doubt they bothered returning the air though as the place was hot as hell.
Great job installing the new Clearvue. I have the 1700 and it provides enough suction to pull your hand into the duct. I bet this one will really suck! They did not have the filter vibrator years ago when installing mine. Have to get one of those.
The rule is 1/d² for sound reduction, with it way up near the roof unlike the other collector it's going to be quieter, plus I think the spray foam might be acting as a acoustic absorber
Love your safety precautions for working at heights, very encouraging for learner safety, by the way those snap clasps will take your fingers off if you are not careful , mongrels are very hard to shut until the last second then they snap shut generally on your little finger , if they close easily they are too loose , other than that you have done an excellent job , well done from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺
Behind a millwright for 45+ years installing equipment in many difficult places you did a fine job. Climbing around the equipment is part of the job. Keep up the great vids.
Great job mate, especially lining up the initial run to the filter :) my only comment would be the bolts on the filter and cyclone....you fitted them from the bottom, if you fit them from the top and put the nuts on the bottom, should the vibrations cause the nuts to come loose, all you loose is the nut and washer, and the bolt stays in place and makes the fix easier and faster ,and the bolts hold everything roughly in place until the new(or old nuts if you can find them) are replaced. Great vid :)
I never thought I’d tell you that your latest project sucks but here we are. 😉. In my small shop, the chips and dust go on the floor and wading through the mess or devoting time to the cleanup can really quench your enthusiasm for the job at hand. You won’t have that problem so 👍.
Matthew you are smart, intelligent and funny. You can laugh when things do not go exactly as you would like. I would start breaking things, which is not a good thing to do. I enjoy watching everything you do.
I had my iwn flooring company As you can by the comments, there are a lt of people interested in the manufacturing, and possibly installation of the product. That would sho the complete journey from tree, to floor. Im sure you gals would be very persuasive with any homeowner who have your product in their home 💯😎👍
Great job as always. One quick observation: when installing the filter shaker, I noticed you put the wingnuts on the top. Since the shaker is basically a vibrator, eventually the nuts may come loose, and if so the bolts will eventually drop out, as opposed to having the nuts on the bottom, then even if they vibrate off, the bolt will stay in due to gravity (or until the "vibrator" throws them out also). 🤣
Hey Matt, really enjoyed watching the installation of your new dust collection and, also being a one-man show, I can appreciate the sometimes sketchy maneuvering needed to get the job done! Great Job!
Because of other commitments I have not been able to stay up-to-date with advancements however, you still do not disappoint and I am most happy for you! Such a beautiful shop watching you create prom necessities and planning. I wonder if perhaps someday I could come and visit?
SpiderMatt SpiderMatt, does whatever a spider can! If you filmed this solo (which I assumed you did as no sane person would have simply watched whilst you were hopping around so high off the ground 😉) your legs must have been pumping from all the climbing up and down the ladder to set up the shots and then do the install! Amazing job 🙂
I hung the drapes for the Life of Montana building in Bozeman. The finished length of the drapes was 131 inches. When I first hung them, I'd had them made 120 inches long. Everyone freaked out that they were too short, it was a Friday. I told them to call me Monday for shortening them to 131 as they'd be on the floor. They were.
4/22/23; ..barn dust collection..new vacuum for slab flattening/router debris..Looks great Matt, kinda EZ installation due to your advance planning & mighty fine 'cam&gruve' clamp style solid tube-to-vacuum system. Now show us some of that slab flattening, want to see your slabs all cleaned up & ready for sale! Stay safe & carry on!👷👏👍🍷🍷😊
Matt, Thanks for the install video. You have got to be the luckiest guy ORRRR your approximations to line up those ducts as well as they did was absolutly amazing! I would have been laughing at the precise coincidence myself!
Slap one of those Matt Cremona decals, way up high, on the new sawdust collector. I was nervous some, knowing you were climbing around in your rafter area 25ft up, while recording the session. What an excellent set up for your Barn. Another well done set up, for your wood working.😊
I bought a Clearvue cyclone dust collection system, and also bought the Norfab system to pipe all my equipment. The Nordfab duct was/is an amazing - albeit expensive - system that is really quite simple to install and does not leak! Your original install video for your system in your shop helped me get mine installed - Thanks!!
Matt, you should have buried PVC pipe under your slab when you had a chance. I did and it was cheaper for the pipe (PVC drain pipe), static is eliminated due to the pipe in soil and no overhead pipe to collect dust and take up head room. By adding enough ports, you can still move equipment around. I buried 6" S&D pipe.
G'day Matt, When measuring the sound i think you should have done it from the ground as that's where you will be affected by it. Love your content Matt. I watch every Sunday morning.
As I always say, better to make a barn bigger than estimated & grow in, than find out how small it is after it is filled with supplies. Call this Bldg 1.
I think you could add a bracket to the wall put that collection drum lid onto when you take it out to empty save lifting it up and probable save it from rolling off
That was my original plan but I like the shelf better; fewer things poking out from the wall if I want to move the drum out of the way to access the pallet rack
Use some dampening matt for cars etc and put under and in front of it some diy sound dampening panels out of wooden frame and insulation wool or just some foam that will redirect the sound up above into the foam Should help a lot
Not being a sound-o-logic specialist, my take on the dB’s is that the lenght of metal tubing resonates, I think your setup in the shop would benefit from a muffler.
Oi, Matt, that drum will be full pretty soon.. Instead of wasting the sawdust, have you considered (even making a diy) bricks press, so you can use it for heating in the winter? Surfacing the slabs produces many many shavings to my knowledge. 😉Keep on, be frugal if you can. Resources will become very expensive..
for db tests, i always like to compare of where my ears will be. Curious the difference from the shop (where you might be standing and working), to the barn, where the dust collection is mounted up so much higher, what the difference in the db levels are for your ears.
89db standing in front of the planer in the shop; 84db standing below the drop in the barn. I don’t don’t these reading too useful though since they’re so specific to my use case and with dust collection, the db will be much higher when the machine I’m pulling dust out of is running (94db while feeding a board through the planer)
Matt, thanks for another amazing DIY video. How much was the cost in the whole package? You have a great adventurous attitude. I love all those giggles you give. I’m wondering how much is edited of truly frustrated moments to keep this video at a G-RATING. You always seem to be smiling and happy. As always, well done.
@22:08 Get a few strong magnets and put those on the swivel-joint. That will fix it in place, especially if you put them next to the transition between the halves.
Nice vac unit Matt. Very little struggle bus issues installing it. It's surprisingly quiet. It'll definitely keep your shop nice a dust free. Those negative nellies who complain about the plastic one in your garage need to get a life. It's your system and if you've had no negative issues with it they should keep their yaps shut.
The only change l would do is switch the wing nuts and bolts the other way on the dust vibrator. That vibrator could loosen those wing nuts and the bolts will fall away. Nylon lock nuts would be better imho.Nice install.
Matt, One foot on the storage rack, one foot on the cyclone bracket... might want to consider getting a 24' extension ladder rather than stretching like a 'Flying Wallenda' without a net! All the best!
3dB. Not insignificant… but honestly, as small amount as could be considered significant 😂. But it does change the character of the noise. Hard to tell how without a spectrum analyzer, but still… glad you’re happy with it. It does seem worthwhile, at those levels that is a pretty important 3dB.
Matt I love your can do attitude..I like your shop and house...Fine Job!! one suggestion is to use a cardboard barrel rather than the steel drum...much easier to empty and you can install a window at the top of the drum to see when its full. Thanks for all your work.
Matt, I see you have used all those "thing-a-ma-bobs" as well as the "dooly-wigs". You're doing a great job setting up the equipment in the barn. When will you and Donavon get back to finishing your home remodel?

Thank You! This was helpful since finaly i plan to install a proper dustcollection instead of all the clatter with movable fans i use currently....

Somebody was running the forklift to get him up and down .
Looks good and it definitely is abit quieter than what the other one is like. All-in-All a good job, Matt.
So cool, Really enjoy how you explain how you're putting it together and then, start laughing. Thank you for sharing😊
That's a great project behind you for the new barn, Matthew!
your "drop" is the size of my "main trunk". incredibly cool setup

Decibels is a logarithmic scale, so a sound drop of 3 db means that the silencer absorbs 50% of the power.

Love the fact that you use your leg to clamp the cyclone in. Noice.
Complete with old man grunting! LOL!! Great job as usual Matt. Still waiting on the flooring to be finished. (Do I sound like the Mrs?)

Good job
slid on to the shaft.........im reminded of a movie I saw once...ok twice....
Matt solved the third arm dilemma with his leg. Good job.
When you were lining up the duct the expression "even a blind squirrel finds a nut sometimes" come to mind. LOL
That applies well here
Could use the shaker for snow on roof.
Another great video Matt .
Nice Job
Great job Matt what about some rubber between the trusses and the metal ducting may stop some vibration.
