@@mooresmade I know. Prices on that stuff have doubled in my area within the last six to nine months. 1/8 inch is available, but it’s going for the price of yesterday’s 18mm!
Its been so fun watching your shop grow one custom piece at a time, Your editing is incredible including the music, I dont know why but when you sync the music to the nail gun it really makes the video come together for me. Keep it up.
Man I just want to let you know how much I appreciate you giving this stuff. And while I understand it helps your brand I still really appreciate you giving this stuff away free. I'm a college student and I just started a woodworking business about 6 months ago and your stuff has been a big inspiration and has been really helpful to me along the way. So thanks a lot for all you do man.
That thing looks like it is a beast! I really like how "clean" of a design it is and at the same time it doesn't take up anymore of a footprint. Keep up the good work!
Jay, I love all your videos. Thanks for the inspiration on getting my own shop up to speed. Lastly, I grew up across the river (in Windsor) so I too was raised on all the Detroit sports teams, especially the Lions & Tigers, love all the flags in your shop. Keep up all the great and inspiring videos. Thanks again.
I built an air cleaner from a furnace fan about six years ago and it gets moved around my shop were its needed, and im sure you will enjoy the cool air it provides, nice build Jay.
Great design and build. I also went with a cart instead of hanging it. I wired an outlet next to the switch which has come in very handy. Thanks for all your videos. You are a great teacher!
I was literally 5 minutes away from tearing apart my old blower for scrap metal because I needed more room in my shop then thought, "Hey, wait a minute, I bet i could make some sort of dust collection with it!" .. checked a few other videos and though "Damn, these people are sure complicating things!" ... Then came across your video which is more along the lines of what I was thinking, just hadn't thought about making it a cart for my planer and tossing its useless legs! THANKS! I LOVE YOU!! (I just said that to balance the fact that my girlfriend is going to really hate you since I'm going to be to busy building this to take her out tomorrow night... LOL!!)
I've been using a fan like that as an extractor for when I paint body panels... They can move a tremendous amount of air. You've come up with a really slick way to package the blower. I might have to borrow this idea Jay. Thanks.
Love the cloning you do. I have been throwing around thoughts on how to do this. Thanks for a walk through on what you did. It definitely will give me some things to think about in my application. I was thinking of doing a ceiling setup, but I may now change that. Love your videos and podcasts Jay. Been a supporter for a while now, and you are usually the first go to for ideas to look at for my own applications.
Jay I just made this and I have to say it does a great job and puts out a tremendous amount of air to keep cool. Used it on an outside project and it made a huge difference. Thanks for the video!!!
Awesome job, Jay! I have a Grizzly hanging from my ceiling now, but if I had the space and didn't have anything yet, this would be my first go-to design to base mine off of.
Super helpful. I found this through a comment on Izzy Swan’s video on box fan vs air filtration. This gives me a great idea on how to turn dead space from a shop cart into usable air filtration and shop cart.
Hi Jay, I just built an air filter system just like yours. I had a squirrel fan set up that I used. It is a little bit noisy but works great. I used 4 filters with a mere patting of 11. I now have bought some new filters that are better. Any way the system works great. I put in a switch from a swamp cooler that I can select the 2 speeds of the blower. I also have a remote control that I can push a button an the remote to turn it off and on. Thanks for doing this video. Works great.
Great stuff man! All of it, video and woodworking really well done. Just picked up a couple blowers and was looking to see how others have done this. Glad I came across your work!
Brilliant detailing, great execution. I would have wired the cart to be a power supply with auxiliary outlets and the switch in one box. You free up wall outlets with less cords on the floor.
Great work Jay! This is actually really helpful. I want to build a cart that I can put in between the two fences of my table saw for a spot to put my planer. I'd probably put it on casters too so I can roll it in and out of the table saw fences when I need to make a big cut. Thanks, Peter
Very nice. I installed a Jet unit on my ceiling in my shop a few years ago and it is unbelievable what it traps. My filter is 12x24 and I am cleaning/replacing it a lot. Your unit looks to move more air than mine but has a lot more filter area, but I have a feeling that yours will work great. Good job.
Thank you for very well done and useful video. I was looking to build a filter using simple fan, akin to those done by Matthias Wandel or John Heisz. May still use fan, along with great ideas here. Blown away by the quiet when you turned it on.
Great build! I sure could use an air cleaner. Adding an auxiliary outlet would increase the usefulness even more, that way your planer could stay plugged into the cart, as well as any other tool that you might want to use near it.
You may find that it is more effective and less likely to blow the floor dust if you mount it on the ceiling. I also added a less expensive poly media (white) to trap the large dust and give the pleated filters more life.. One of the BEST improvements made to any shop. I have mine turn on when the lights are on. Another GREAT build Jay!!!
I love watching a Jay Bates video when I'm already planning on making the same device. I have a furnace blower from my home swap out and I watched the pen turning video earlier. Enough UA-cam for today.
I just salvaged a furnace blower and was thinking of throwing it in the attic to filter the garage from the top. Your design is giving me second thoughts though, great build!
I know this is a necropost, but I'm catching up on all your stuff - love it. First of all, thanks for the clean edit. I don't know if people realize how much work goes into post than doing the actual "work". So thank you. Also, it's incredibly timely because I was getting ready to throw out the blower asI'm converting to a hybrid unit (love those!!!) I'm so thankful I watched this video. I have everything I need sans filters to make this. My wife will be pleasantly surprised when she doesn't find a layer of dust on boxes of grocery we have in the garage.
Nice work! I have a blower I was planning to make a hanging unit from but recently picked up one at a great price. I might just go ahead and do this with it. Can't hurt to have more filtration!
best air filtration idea I've seen yet. simple construction, inexpensive, mobile, and multipurpose! I was thinking some sort of diffuser at the output since it moves so much air? thanks for the inspiration!
I also watched your other video on building this. I am now on the lookout for a furnace motor for the container conversion woodshop I am building on my channel. Thanks for the awesome idea!
This is exactly my design I came up a few days ago, but you did it 3 years earlier! Hope it works well. My plan is to use a regular fan and pump it straight down, though.
Jay, I LOVE this idea.. I do more mechanical work these days due to, well, many things, but I am going to build the same thing, only I will use the top for more of a tool tray. Maybe even put a drawer in it.... Living in Florida, I need all the air movement I can get.. When I am doing any cutting I can simply pop a few air filters in and maybe not have such an issue with wood dust kicking my allergic but!! This is a great idea buddy.. I LOVE IT!!!!
It would be so awesome if you had a playlist which covered electrical. That way, you could teach those of us who want to learn, the basics... ...And, the electrical portions of builds like this.
Great video as always Jay. I Like the split screen explanation as you are working! Well done.I'm just about finished with my miter saw stand. I looks surprising like yours :)
Hi Jay, nice project! I like the idea of making a air cleaner yourself, saves a whole lot of money, and works just as well, or maybe even a little bit better compared to the commercially available ones. Thanks for sharing, regards from a fellow YT maker from the Netherlands.
Nice job Jay on the design I will be building one in the near future to do both clean the air and a work as a sanding station. God knows I do a lot of sanding I guess we all do.
Well that solves another 2 problem I had for my shop. Great job Jay ... Has the blower cart traveled on it's own when you power it up... You know like a jet engine and if so will you put 2 locking casters on it.. Always learning never boring...Protect your DIGITS
I'm going to build one of these! I have a small shop that needs more filtration and another flat area to put my new benchtop planer! Great idea Subbed!
Your cart design is brilliant! I see yet another shop project in my near future.. Now that you have is complete, you need to give some good test runs and le us all know how well it works. as well as any changes you might make if you did it again.
Thanks for the great idea. Just upgrade furnace motor and have the old one that still works. I was thinking on making some sort of swamp cooler with it but this just changed my plans!
You might think about adding an air register at the bottom so that you can direct the air flow up, down, or sideways. If you got a double sided one you could split the airflow in two directions.
I like your idea. I'm in the process of making one as well. Got my motor just need to build the cabinet. My idea is to reverse the airflow and made a down draft sanding table. Hope it works well.
nice Jay I have a basement shop and need a filtration unit this will work for me also I have some what low ceilings and me being 6ft well you can see what my worries where think I will do this to and I have a plainer also that needs a place to sit great project thx
I love that 2x10 idea for better grade lumber, hope the big box stores don't catch on. I like the simplicity/practicality of this design idea. A great convenience, I think, might be to wire an outlet strip through the same cord and attach it to one of the vertical columns, it would conveniently power the planer. I'm guessing "time will tell", but as a comfort fan it seems like flipping the unit over would be more comfortable.
My heater guy just gave me a blower motor for this same project after seeing this video. He did say one thing he'd suggest, is to block off part "up to about 1/4 of the opening" to provide some "back pressure" for the motor, which the motor is built to have and it will last a lot longer. This mimics the back pressure the motor operates in when blowing through duct work in a house HVAC system.
Really like your design. The only thing I would have done diiferently is to attach it to the ceiling with the exhaust pointing outside. That's a really nice fan you got there, and being so close to the ground, all it's going to do is kick up a lot of dust.
LOL, I love how his 'scrap' plywood looks better than the new plywood I have available from the store.
I’m also jealous about his wood
Especially now in 2021! Baltic birch? Get out of here! 1/8” of any grade of plywood? Get real!
@@mooresmade I know. Prices on that stuff have doubled in my area within the last six to nine months.
1/8 inch is available, but it’s going for the price of yesterday’s 18mm!
This is the first time my 7-year old son has seen one of your videos. He was more than impressed by your cloned self.
Looks great and functional, also great job on the video editing.
I really like how compact the cart is. nice design and build Jay.
+frank howarth thanks Frank :)

Love how this one came out, Jay! Simple and smart design as usual. Thanks!
That thing looks like it is a beast! I really like how "clean" of a design it is and at the same time it doesn't take up anymore of a footprint. Keep up the good work!
Love the idea of filters on 4 sides and a handy cart, nicely done. I have looked at a bunch of designs and this makes the most sense so far.
Dean Hallal
Frank Howarth has a similar design too. Check it out if you haven't yet =)

You've totally given me ideas for my temporary paint booth.

You may find that it is more effective and less likely to blow the floor dust if you mount it on the ceiling. I also added a less expensive poly media (white) to trap the large dust and give the pleated filters more life.. One of the BEST improvements made to any shop.

Great build, Jay! Looks like that thing is going to give you some serious airflow in there.
I love watching a Jay Bates video when I'm already planning on making the same device.

Enough UA-cam for today.
Your video was exactly what I needed. I was overthinking how I was going to make my air cleaner. Thanks for a well done article.

I've had an old blower motor kicking around for years that I've meant to do something with--kudos for gettin' stuff done.
Nice Jay....badly need one of these.
I like it a lot , I just happen to have an extra air cooler in the shed I could use for parts. You got me thinking, lol
Nice, quick, very useable project. Space saving, multi-use. Nice presentation, Great Video.
This turned out great! thanks for sharing Jay!
You hit another one out of the park bro!

+Pete G Thanks Pete!

Seems like a simple and effective unit pulling air from all sides!
Great use of space and doubles as the plane cart!!!
Great job!

Cool design, this is what I need. Another to do project by Jay
Great video as always Jay. I Like the split screen explanation as you are working! Well done.I'm just about finished with my miter saw stand. I looks surprising like yours :)

Love the effect at 6:00. Nicely done! You're lucky to be able to have a shop assistant that's (hopefully) always on the same page 😁
Very cool! I was going to build one this summer...but there was THAT sale on an air filter. The rabbets were an excellent idea!
Glad you made this. I have my old furnace blower in the garage waiting for me.
I now have a plan for my own filter system, thanks to you for explaining the details.
Well that solves another 2 problem I had for my shop. Great job Jay ... Has the blower cart traveled on it's own when you power it up... You know like a jet engine and if so will you put 2 locking casters on it.. Always learning never boring...Protect your DIGITS

It looks like a great addition to your shop.
Great space saving design, and even better to get some air on the hot days.
Probably the easiest and quickest air filter build I've found on UA-cam...I want to build one for the chimney removal job I have coming up
Your cart design is brilliant! I see yet another shop project in my near future..
Now that you have is complete, you need to give some good test runs and le us all know how well it works. as well as any changes you might make if you did it again.
Thanks for the great idea. Just upgrade furnace motor and have the old one that still works. I was thinking on making some sort of swamp cooler with it but this just changed my plans!
Awesome addition Jay.
I like it. And great video as usual. You could probably build a simple deflector to keep the air off a dusty floor.
Great job and great idea. My cloud of dust in my garage every time I do any project is getting quite old.
Smart design!! 👍Very clean, economical and efficient. Thanks for sharing.
Wow, simple but really cool design. I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for a blower motor/fan.
Nice build Jay.
Excellent price on the filters thanks for the link.
Awesome build! Thanks for the idea!
awesome build Jay
Nice design and build Jay!
Nicely done!!! Looks great! 👍😁👍
I'll have to try that on a few of my tools, because it look really cool. thanks again.
You might think about adding an air register at the bottom so that you can direct the air flow up, down, or sideways. If you got a double sided one you could split the airflow in two directions.
+Don Rad not needed. The air flow is about 45 degrees from the floor. It doesn't move dust on the floor at all.
Nicely done! Thanks Jay.
Excellent Design Jay!!!
Great idea jay as always i enjoy your videos keep up the good work
Great project Jay, and a very informative article on your webpage with extra safety hints. Hope your sinuses clear up real soon.
+dav snow thanks for taking the time to read the article too. Went to the doc finally. I've got bronchitis. It's starting to clear up though.
+Jay Bates Glad you've got a good Doc - and are reducing those long work-shifts. We need you healthy :-D
Nice build and use of space!
very nice build Jay!
If you find the motor is getting overly hot, INCREASE restriction. These need a certain amount of static pressure to work efficiently. Nice work.
This is a great idea! I think I'll do something like this, but I'll use the top for a sanding station.
I like your idea. I'm in the process of making one as well. Got my motor just need to build the cabinet. My idea is to reverse the airflow and made a down draft sanding table. Hope it works well.
Project idea Jay,
As a fine, creative woodworker -- we'd love to see your version of a
Zero Gravity Recliner

Very well done. Reclaimed blower motor comes in handy
Thanks Jay. You just fixed my fan problem.
Added to my todo list:"find a furnace blower". That's a great cart. Will make one for sure.
Very nice, I've got a similar old cart with the same DeWalt Planer. In it is my hand tools, so this design would work for me as well.
Really like your design. The only thing I would have done diiferently is to attach it to the ceiling with the exhaust pointing outside. That's a really nice fan you got there, and being so close to the ground, all it's going to do is kick up a lot of dust.
What would the point of the filters be if the air was directed outside?
Looks like it will be a great one! Good Job man!
