I like this far more than the expensive dust deputy version because with a trash can you can hold a lot more with less trips to the dumpster! And especially because it’s easy to transport from tool to tool. I might need an actual cart because my massive vacuum gets stuck on my uneven concrete floor but this really makes a fast and cheap solution. It’s been too cold in my area to safely run the table saw outside so I’ve been stuck inside and wishing I’d had a way to connect to the table saw plus a container for all the massive chips. My garage is so dusty and even with my mask on I cough from all the fine shit in the air. Anyways nice job and thrilled to see a faster, better solution than some of the others that require shipping in, etc.
Watched many videos, some great ideas but this is way more useful for my larger usage and large amount of chips / dust created. Whatever a viewer decides fits their needs it's a must, get er done. Thanks for posting.
Just made this unit and you’re correct, it works great. I have a smaller shop vac (3.0 hp) a little more on the ground than I’d like but 95% was in the can. I might not have a big enough shop vac. But it works great thanks.
Hey there...I I came from your Bauer planer video comments and I said I would check out this dust collector system. I tried something similar to this a couple of years ago. I bought one of those Cyclone funnels and attached it to the top of a trash can like what you have. When I turned on my 16 Gal Ridgid shop Vac, the trash can's sides got sucked way in, and all but collapsing the trash can..wow..!! I put some wood cross bracing inside the trash can and it still sucked in around the cross bracing. Darn...apparently my 16 Gal. vac is just too strong....so you are correct...the shop vac doesn't necessarily have to be a great big powerful one. Now if I had a heavy duty container like those blue ones, or if I made my own plywood container...(wouldn't necessarily have to be round...I think)...then I could use my shop vac. And definitely...I don't have a big budget and need to keep costs down. I also must make a fine dust filter set up...should have done it years ago. I have seen many YT guys taking a simple box fan and basically putting a filter of some type on the intake side. I do a lot of sanding so I really...really...need to solve that problem. Thanks for your video...you are a family man and seem to really enjoy and love your family. That is fantastic...!!
It’s funny say this comment! My trash can sucked in last night and cracked.... again!!! I went on Facebook Market place and found a guy who is selling 55 gallon drums for $15 each!!! Much much stronger! Can’t wait to get it! I might do a recap video too. Thanks Marbleman!
I made one of these with the same concept idea, and came to this video with hopes to find a solution for the trash can collapsing. Mine was a Brute, grey can from Lowes and my 6hp vac destroys it. Have you since figured out a solution??
The shop vac usually ends up with all of the super fine particles clogging the filter. It doesnt normally get many wood chips unless your collector bucket gets too full
nice job. i wonder if a piece of screen on the pvc that leads to the vac would eliminate all the dust going into shop vac?? great idea either way. thanks
Nice concept. I would have liked to see how you attached to the planner. Also its seems like you would want to have a tight seal at the garbage can lid for maximum efficiency.
I use 2.5 Rubber couplings I got from Lowes. I might do a video on this alone in the future because its a great way to quick change the hoses to different tools!
Nice work. Thanks for the idea. Just a thought, when you opened the trashcan, the inbound nozzle iss facing the handle of the trashcan. I'd bet that if you adjust it so it aims past the handle, there would be a lot less sawdust in the vacuum.
I would think the crash can would collapse under pressure? Also the sides are not airtight. What brand of trash can do you use and do you seal around the pvc coming into the side and where the top meets the trashcan. Thanks,
I have an exact planner but the color. I tried the same thing and...it stocked. The engine forces but I shot off it right after. This mean the motor is good but it needs a serious saw dust cleaning. I made a wood-fanal but the suction wasn't strong enough. So, be careful to get a proper suction.
You might be able to but it might be prone to clogging if your using a planner. Probably would be ok if you’re hooked up to circular saw or something that creates small particles! Thanks for watching!!!
I think the pipe you are using is actually ABS and not "black" PVC. The difference would be important if you were to glue the fittings to the pipe, because the two plastics use different cements. With friction fits such as you are using, IDM.
Good job, my only comment is the filter on your shop vac got plugged up with all the fine dust that should of stayed in the large garbage can if you had placed a plate in the top on the can. I forgot the name of the plate but there are several other videos out there showing how to add that plate to improve your fine dust collection.
Ron Alves I believe you are referring to a Thein baffle. Check out Stumpy Nubs and others. I would consider using a metal can or a Rubbermaid Brute heavy duty can. I prefer frugal over cheap.
The whole idea of these DIY Dust Collectors is to drop out as much of the fine particles before the filter of the vacuum device, which this unit did not appear to do.
Could this be made for a sander for sanding furniture? And what would you do differently, maybe use a second hose instead of a PVC pipe from the sander to the trash can? I am refinishing furniture and winter will be here soon so I would like to be able to do this inside. Thank you. Jackie
So I made a dust filter from 3 5gal buckets and the trash can and I run no filter in the shop van and I don’t get any dust in the shop van at all yes I did the trash can like he did then I did a bucket with a cyclone then I have a bucket with water then I have empty bucket to help stop the water vapor making it into my vac I can sand drywall. I have a 20’ hose so all of it just stay in the corner of my shop I all so have a Christmas tree light remote box to turn it on it clips to my belt when I am in the shop working and I just put the hose on my tool and hit the remote then the power on the tool I plan to make a pvc system and just have open the vac gate at the tool no more hose to trip on.
nice and easy to follow great video. just built this and my can keeps caving in from the suction. did you have this issue also? if so how did you fix. thanks.
Yes I did. I think the cans are a little soft and too playable.... I had to get a thicker can.... try a metal can too!!! Thanks for watching and Subbing!
Great video. Would be even better if you would list specific items in this build. Not name brands. The sizes, lengths, and quantity of each item, are similar to what other UA-cam videos do. I tried to take a list to my local Big Box store. They wanted to have the above information. It wouldn't take you that much longer to make a perfect video. That said, I am going to follow in your footsteps to make this dust collection system. I like it because it is: DIY, effective, simple, cheap, elegant solution to controlling the sawdust problem. Thank You.
These types of dust collection is fine. I made one similar and does well yet there are improvements that can be made that reduces the amount collected in the vacuum. Oneida (a bit spendy), makes a system that, the head alone, is awesome. But that all depends on what you are after, alot, a little, or cheap as can be. But then how often are you cleaning the vac filter?
I have a pretty big trash can and I'm just concerned that my small shop vac doesn't have enough power to suck up the sawdust. I think it's a 2 gallon one or something
completely off topic.....your American flag is displayed incorrectly. When hanging vertically, the blue field shall be to the FLAGS right / to the left as viewed. Love the video, I plan on making one of these!
I know. So the 50 state flag is wrong on my part but the Susan B Anthony flag is an error I got for free as it was printed in reverse so there was nothing I can do as it’s the same on both side. Alot of people mentioned that to me. Lots of observant people! LoL Thanks for watching!
Buy another can exactly like the one your using. Place your dust collector trash can in side it. It will prevent the trash can from collapsing by supporting the inner can on all sides. Worked for my 5 gal pail system.
Maybe a really small section of Blown Insulation. Depends on the size of the container your using too. I would suggest go online and look for a 60 gallon plastic container with a screw on lid. Super Rigid and large too. Good Luck and thanks for watching!!!!
What if you made another one, Daisy chain them together. Would that further reduce the amount of dust in the vacuum? Just pick up a planer yesterday. DeWalt DW735 and it has a blower on it for "fan assisted chip ejection". Definitely going to be building this
Dude you got a Mac daddy planer!! I don’t think you can daisy chain the containers. Look on Facebook Market Place for large plastic 55 gallon drums. Much more rigid than a trash can.
That's not exactly how that works. The stuff that gets by the collector is likely going to get by the next collector as well. Its the size of particle that has a 50/50 chance of getting collected or passed through. Added more will just decrease your airflow.
I noticed your filter was still full, you have to be loosing suction as you carry along with your project. I understand the concept of the garbage can but shouldn’t it be eliminating majority of the fine dust that clogs the filter in order to be productive ? In my opinion if it don’t keep the filter from filling and essentially loosing suction it’s a waste of $40 because all your doing is separating the large from small dust.
No suction lost and honestly it’s too powerful for a normal trash can! It’s job is to collect the shaving and separate dust so it did it’s job as intended. Thanks for watching!! I recommend buying a 50 gallon food grade barrel with a removable lid..... those don’t collapse from the suction!
If you say so but from my experience and every other persons experience we lose suction from fine dust blocking the filter which this machine collected on your filter. You may not have lost suction due to only shaving a single 2x4 but over time as you are continuing you will lose suction. The point of a dust collector is to stop the dust before it gets to the filter. I can tell you I can run my shop vac with my planer, jointer, mitre saw, table saw, and bandsaw and get less then a tablespoon worth of dust on my filter with my Oneida on a 5 gallon bucket. I watch these videos to try and improve what I have but this system just don’t separate the dust from the filter like it should. Try sticking a board or something in the can above the inlet hose with a hole in the center to stop the dust from spinning up the barrel into the vac hose. I believe it will help keep the fine dust away from your vacuum.
I actually didnt care for the intro. Too long. Luckily we can skip to where the video actually starts and I thought the project was great. Merry Christmas
We don’t give a damn about what you like and don’t like. The opening was the most epic most mind engaging and most cinematic thrill of a visual experience I’ve ever seen in my entire existence. You need to take an extended amount of time to go reflect on your opinions, interests and how you speak out of spite and self centered egotistic narcissism. U disgust me. @kalindslife Ignore this DunceCap Wearing Bozo Clown
@@WinningTrades4U whoa chill, it's ok to express a dislike for what someone does. That doesn't make you self-centered. I thought Midnights & Mornings did it in an extremely graceful way.
Hey was wondering if anyone else made one? I just made it and it caves in my trash can every time I cut it on. For the dust issue I added a shop vac filter into the lid build and seems to be doing a good job. Made it where it will come off easy to blow it out when needed
You may need add a vent with a filter to keep from collapsing. Mine seemed to do the same thing as the trash can was a little thin. It worked for a while but then that was it. I ended up just buying a WEN Dust collector on Amazon for $100. check out my review video and the link in that videos description. Thanks for Watching!
Probably makes a difference on the size/hp of your shopvac. I have a small one I intend to use in this application, but I have no doubt the bigger one would cave in the can.
This is a great idea until you find out the trash can lid you have won’t support the pvc and connections thereby not keeping them upright. It was just too heavy for what seems like a flimsy lid. Trash can same size and from Lowe’s though I suspect there may be regional differences in products for sale. So either I trash this - no pun intended - or I test the strength of the next trash can lid before I buy another can.
After this build I would suggest going online and finding one of those heavy duty food grade barrels for like $20!!! Facebook Marketplace is a great place to find out them!
Well your shop vac filter is clogged. The whole point of the exercise is to prevent that. There is too much fine material getting through the cyclone unit.
Great idea, one question on the dust collection mounts. What kind of attachment did you use on the planer to capture the dust? I have seen some generic vacuum pieces but nothing like that.
I got all the parts at Lowe’s. It’s all Black PVC pipe and the rubber connector as well. I would recommend looking in Facebook marketplace for a 50+ gallon plastic drum. Much more rigid then the trash can and will cost the same if not cheaper! Thanks for watching!
I assume the lesson learned on the three minutes talking head intro...anough said. The second issue, you need in a 'Show-n-Tell' to show all of the parts in the project. It would have been helpful to see the Vac inside and the filter before you planed the wood, always good to have a before and after comparison. I enjoyed the idea behind your project. I want to thank you for your efforts and best of luck in future projects.
Try using a plastic 55 gal drum with removable lid large with two large bungs one is fine thread snd will accommodate a 2 in threaded pvc adapter the other bung can be used to regulate the vaccum
its a pretty strong vac and really sucked in the can. I would eventually upgrade to a metal can or steel 55 gallon drum and put it on castor wheels. you can find drums all day long on facebook marketplace from $10-$30 all day long!
Him and I Woodworking gave it to me.... I never looked either. I strictly use it for my chops saw now so its tucked under my work bench. I very seldomly pull it out.
KalindsLife at 9:54 of the video you can clearly see that it is a Shop Vac brand, 16 gal 6.0 hp Great video! And has far as the intro....let those who have a problem with its length, watch someone else’s channel if they don’t care for how long it was
Have you ever gone to the movies and pay a ton of money’s just to watch two hours before they finally kill the bad guy knowing good ans well it’s gunna happen going into it!? I guess it’s kinda like that! Tubers like to create fun stuff and add to the beginning of the video to make it fun too!!! Sorry if the two minutes bored ya!!! I guess that’s only way I could explain it.
As for the commentators that are knocking the simplistic idea, tell them to suck their own dust with those high dollar cyclones. Myself as a Garage Hobbyist this will work fine until someone wants unless give me for Christmas. Yes I've seen several that have made homemade cyclones, but they are just as effective as yours.
That’s an awesome thing to say! As much as I would love to have more...I’m very grateful for each and everyone! I have a lot of fun with YT and try to put vids that viewers will enjoy! Thanks again!!
Dwight Fontenot absolutely! If you are using a planner or jointer you’ll empty a lot. I would just aim it at a wall and let it build a pile then scoop it up. Other than that a shop vac is great for small projects!
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
That's not working well. You might want to move the inlet pipe closer to the wall of the trash can and angle it down just a little to create the swirling of the dust so it goes to the bottom. The way you have it here, a lot of the dust is getting sucked up. My guess is that as the dust comes in, the way that it's positioned is throwing it right into the pickup. If you are picking up fine dust that is not as heavy as what you did here the problem will become much worse. I made one out of two buckets and I can use it all day with almost no dust in my vacuum. Lastly, using a good filter (can't remember what they are called right now) will increase the suction a lot. Good luck.
Yup. Throw it out. Can’t use pine for animal cages so it’s pretty much trash. It it were cedar it might be good for like guinea pigs or rabbit bedding. Thanks for watching!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman thanks for responding. I am new to the wood working scene. Never built anything from wood in my life lol. I have been watching your videos and some others. Great content man. Question.. do I need a planer and jointer or can I wait awhile? Kind of pricey.
Compost! 1 layer of wood (brown layer), 1 layer of grass (green layer), repeat and mix once a month. Next year you can fill any spots in the lawn and the stuff grows grass like crazy.
It's too big - you're not getting a great vortex effect, with a proper vortex you'd be getting virtually no sawdust from the amount of milling you did.
Yes, I noticed the filter was packed w/the fine sawdust. Keep running it that way, and your vacuum will burn out in short time. All is not lost however, put a cyclone by oneida, (dust Deputy) on top of the Garbage can and you will see it works much better. Thank You for your efforts.
Honestly it’s Too strong for a standard trash can. Got a plastic food barrel for $15 on Facebook marketplace and this works perfect. Extremely thick plastic. And yes... I clean the filter regularly. Thanks for watching!!!
KalindsLife Do you know how long it took Edison to perfect the Light Bulb? Was not over night. I don't think he saw the LED coming however! My Friend, Stay ingaged, and you also will find sucess.
In all honesty I make videos like this because it’s actually fun to do! I’m not a huge YTer who conforms. I’m sorry you didn’t like it and I’m ok with that. Content Creator Rule #1: Make videos you enjoy making. There is a scrub and FF button too…. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks. Still seemed to be a lot of dust int he filter. Figure out a way to keep more of that tin the trash can?

Thanks so much! Unfortunately I don’t use this system anymore. I’m planning on doing a new system in my workshop soon!
what about all the fine sawdust that was stuck to the filter that you didn't mention
It’s not 100% effective if that’s what your asking.
Nice concept. I would have liked to see how you attached to the planner. Also its seems like you would want to have a tight seal at the garbage can lid for maximum efficiency.

Ive been using the dual 5g bucket dust separator but I think I need to up my game to something bigger.
Would this work hooked up to a mulching blower/vacuum in my yard?
Ummmm…… I dunno! Would make a great video!!!!
I would think the crash can would collapse under pressure? Also the sides are not airtight. What brand of trash can do you use and do you seal around the pvc coming into the side and where the top meets the trashcan. Thanks,
I don’t use this system anymore but it was “OK”. I highly recommend a quality dust collection system before a homemade one!
What kind of planer? Does it have an internal blower already? Or, does your shop vac do all the work to pull?
This was a Harbor Freight Bauer Planer. The shop vac does all the work.
I have an exact planner but the color. I tried the same thing and...it stocked. The engine forces but I shot off it right after. This mean the motor is good but it needs a serious saw dust cleaning. I made a wood-fanal but the suction wasn't strong enough. So, be careful to get a proper suction.

Hey Papa! I’d recommend getting one of those food safe drums with a screw off lid. A lot more durable. I cracked my can already!
Add a small baffle to the pipe at the center of the lid and pretty much nothing will get to the shop vac

Personally I’d get a cyclone and add it to the top of a lined trash can! You can get them from $30-$150 on Amazon!
Is it my imagination or your filter in the vacuum got completed clog, does it suppose to do that
Where did you get the hose you are using on the shop vac?
Amazon for the win!
Can you use a 50gal or not enough suction?
Yes! You can!
Do you have a list handy of all the parts?
Unfortunately I don’t have this set up anymore so I don’t. Sorry about that!
So I made a dust filter from 3 5gal buckets and the trash can and I run no filter in the shop van and I don’t get any dust in the shop van at all yes I did the trash can like he did then I did a bucket with a cyclone then I have a bucket with water then I have empty bucket to help stop the water vapor making it into my vac I can sand drywall. I have a 20’ hose so all of it just stay in the corner of my shop I all so have a Christmas tree light remote box to turn it on it clips to my belt when I am in the shop working and I just put the hose on my tool and hit the remote then the power on the tool I plan to make a pvc system and just have open the vac gate at the tool no more hose to trip on.

Wow dude that’s fucking awesome job . I was going make one for a 5 gallon bucket . But I have a trash can like yours that I’m gonna make it out of.

The point of a dust collector is to stop the dust before it gets to the filter. I can tell you I can run my shop vac with my planer, jointer, mitre saw, table saw, and bandsaw and get less then a tablespoon worth of dust on my filter with my Oneida on a 5 gallon bucket. I watch these videos to try and improve what I have but this system just don’t separate the dust from the filter like it should. Try sticking a board or something in the can above the inlet hose with a hole in the center to stop the dust from spinning up the barrel into the vac hose. I believe it will help keep the fine dust away from your vacuum.

@@michaels3972 Dust deputy is just an expensive version of what he has built. There is no more fine dust collection as a result.
@@lastchancecris He lost suction. My home made system might have a spoonful of dust after using all of what you mentioned all day.
I actually didnt care for the intro. Too long. Luckily we can skip to where the video actually starts and I thought the project was great. Merry Christmas
It’s all good man!!! Merry Christmas too!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Wow yeah , not just the garage door or even the theme song...3 minutes of extra stuff before the video actually starts.
We don’t give a damn about what you like and don’t like. The opening was the most epic most mind engaging and most cinematic thrill of a visual experience I’ve ever seen in my entire existence. You need to take an extended amount of time to go reflect on your opinions, interests and how you speak out of spite and self centered egotistic narcissism. U disgust me. @kalindslife Ignore this DunceCap Wearing Bozo Clown
@@WinningTrades4U whoa chill, it's ok to express a dislike for what someone does. That doesn't make you self-centered. I thought Midnights & Mornings did it in an extremely graceful way.
and a whole year later we all actually still dont care for ur comment , luckily ur opinion STILL doesnt matter.
Hey was wondering if anyone else made one? I just made it and it caves in my trash can every time I cut it on. For the dust issue I added a shop vac filter into the lid build and seems to be doing a good job. Made it where it will come off easy to blow it out when needed
You may need add a vent with a filter to keep from collapsing. Mine seemed to do the same thing as the trash can was a little thin. It worked for a while but then that was it. I ended up just buying a WEN Dust collector on Amazon for $100. check out my review video and the link in that videos description. Thanks for Watching!
Probably makes a difference on the size/hp of your shopvac. I have a small one I intend to use in this application, but I have no doubt the bigger one would cave in the can.
This is a great idea until you find out the trash can lid you have won’t support the pvc and connections thereby not keeping them upright. It was just too heavy for what seems like a flimsy lid.
Trash can same size and from Lowe’s though I suspect there may be regional differences in products for sale.
So either I trash this - no pun intended - or I test the strength of the next trash can lid before I buy another can.
After this build I would suggest going online and finding one of those heavy duty food grade barrels for like $20!!! Facebook Marketplace is a great place to find out them!
Great video.
Thanks man!!! Hope your getting to feeling better!
Well your shop vac filter is clogged. The whole point of the exercise is to prevent that. There is too much fine material getting through the cyclone unit.
Thanks for the input!!! Thanks for watching!!
looks exactly like the houses in my neighborhood Lexington Plantation in NC
Could be the same builder. They’re pretty big co. One 27 Homes. Thanks for watching!
Great idea, one question on the dust collection mounts. What kind of attachment did you use on the planer to capture the dust? I have seen some generic vacuum pieces but nothing like that.
I got all the parts at Lowe’s. It’s all Black PVC pipe and the rubber connector as well. I would recommend looking in Facebook marketplace for a 50+ gallon plastic drum. Much more rigid then the trash can and will cost the same if not cheaper! Thanks for watching!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman I was referring to the plastic parts at the tool for collection. Where the dust is collected on the machine?
Use a hose to go to you machine. No Idea why he used pvc for that. Watch Chris Notap video on how to make one. It works a lot better than this one.
Thanks man I might try this. Also, anyone ever tell you that you look like Dave Attell?
I think someone said I do before! LoL thanks for watching!
I assume the lesson learned on the three minutes talking head intro...anough said.
The second issue, you need in a 'Show-n-Tell' to show all of the parts in the project. It would have been helpful to see the Vac inside and the filter before you planed the wood, always good to have a before and after comparison.
I enjoyed the idea behind your project. I want to thank you for your efforts and best of luck in future projects.
Great feedback Karl!! Thank you!!!
Love it!
😁 Thanks D L!! I thought you would!!
good job man. I like a neat shop without all the cleanup. this just might work for me as well, thanks
Thanks Joe!!! Now that summer is starting to break I’ll be back outside doing more projects.
Kalindslife, was the filter clean or already clogged when you started?
Ummmmm..... I can’t remember!! Wish I could!! Dang sorry!!
Try using a plastic 55 gal drum with removable lid large with two large bungs one is fine thread snd will accommodate a 2 in threaded pvc adapter the other bung can be used to regulate the vaccum
What planer is that?
It’s the Bauer from Harbor Freight. I have an unboxing and setup video on it. You should check that out!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman That's what I thought. I have the same one!
Also, I didn't mind the intro. Have you saved any bugs recently?
와우 멋져요...
Not sure how to reply! Thanks for watching!
Hi ! How strong is the vaacum cleaner ?!? (Watts) :)
its a pretty strong vac and really sucked in the can. I would eventually upgrade to a metal can or steel 55 gallon drum and put it on castor wheels. you can find drums all day long on facebook marketplace from $10-$30 all day long!
concerning number of flags in this workshop
Explain How Please?
Looks like your filter loaded with dust which clogs and lose suction..
Didn't recognize the brand but your shop vac looked like a short Dalek.
Him and I Woodworking gave it to me.... I never looked either. I strictly use it for my chops saw now so its tucked under my work bench. I very seldomly pull it out.
KalindsLife at 9:54 of the video you can clearly see that it is a Shop Vac brand, 16 gal 6.0 hp
Great video! And has far as the intro....let those who have a problem with its length, watch someone else’s channel if they don’t care for how long it was
Buy white PVC and paint it black
Definitely Cheaper!
Clean your Shop Vac filter! Prevent motor burnout.
Thank you
Np!!! Glad ya liked it!
Over 2 minutes of intro, before you get to the meat of the video. Yikes!
Have you ever gone to the movies and pay a ton of money’s just to watch two hours before they finally kill the bad guy knowing good ans well it’s gunna happen going into it!? I guess it’s kinda like that! Tubers like to create fun stuff and add to the beginning of the video to make it fun too!!! Sorry if the two minutes bored ya!!! I guess that’s only way I could explain it.

Why does everyone think they need an intro to a video?
I stopped. I’m with ya. Thanks for watching!
As for the commentators that are knocking the simplistic idea, tell them to suck their own dust with those high dollar cyclones. Myself as a Garage Hobbyist this will work fine until someone wants unless give me for Christmas. Yes I've seen several that have made homemade cyclones, but they are just as effective as yours.
U deserve more subs
That’s an awesome thing to say! As much as I would love to have more...I’m very grateful for each and everyone! I have a lot of fun with YT and try to put vids that viewers will enjoy! Thanks again!!
Why not just hook the shop-vac straight into your tool?
You can do that too but it’ll fill up real quick.
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman Ok, thanks. It's super quick and easy to empty and I'm just doing small projects.
Dwight Fontenot absolutely! If you are using a planner or jointer you’ll empty a lot. I would just aim it at a wall and let it build a pile then scoop it up. Other than that a shop vac is great for small projects!
I don't understand why he's bummed it's nice and cool out????
That darn rain!!!!
Love the opening scene!!!
Hahaha! Thanks man! Nothing worse than a rainy day! Kinda!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman it was so cold to!!
Thank yuo!
Less speech, more action!
I don’t do ASMR! Sorry!
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
Thanks for watching!!!
Your filter was filled with sawdust.
That's not working well. You might want to move the inlet pipe closer to the wall of the trash can and angle it down just a little to create the swirling of the dust so it goes to the bottom. The way you have it here, a lot of the dust is getting sucked up. My guess is that as the dust comes in, the way that it's positioned is throwing it right into the pickup. If you are picking up fine dust that is not as heavy as what you did here the problem will become much worse. I made one out of two buckets and I can use it all day with almost no dust in my vacuum. Lastly, using a good filter (can't remember what they are called right now) will increase the suction a lot. Good luck.
Hello, très bonne Idée
Thank You!!! (Merci!!)
No such thing as black pvc that would be ABS
Good call out!
Is that not abs pipe and fittings?
I think so.... Black PVC is what I called it! LoL. Thanks for watching
Its called abs not black pvc. Pvc is white, differnt material
What are you supposed to do with all that dust? Do you just throw it away?
Yup. Throw it out. Can’t use pine for animal cages so it’s pretty much trash. It it were cedar it might be good for like guinea pigs or rabbit bedding. Thanks for watching!
@@TheCrawlspaceCraftsman thanks for responding. I am new to the wood working scene. Never built anything from wood in my life lol. I have been watching your videos and some others. Great content man. Question.. do I need a planer and jointer or can I wait awhile? Kind of pricey.
Compost! 1 layer of wood (brown layer), 1 layer of grass (green layer), repeat and mix once a month. Next year you can fill any spots in the lawn and the stuff grows grass like crazy.
Use the sawdust in a composting toilet.
Saw dust makes Gr8 floor dry. I do lots of auto work, and changing oil. sucks up the oil spills from the floor! So I save all my saw dust.
It's too big - you're not getting a great vortex effect, with a proper vortex you'd be getting virtually no sawdust from the amount of milling you did.
I've since changed to a WEN Collector. I plan on getting a Dust Deputy soon! Cant wait!
Yes, I noticed the filter was packed w/the fine sawdust. Keep running it that way, and your vacuum will burn out in short time. All is not lost however, put a cyclone by oneida, (dust Deputy) on top of the Garbage can and you will see it works much better. Thank You for your efforts.
Honestly it’s Too strong for a standard trash can. Got a plastic food barrel for $15 on Facebook marketplace and this works perfect. Extremely thick plastic. And yes... I clean the filter regularly. Thanks for watching!!!
KalindsLife Do you know how long it took Edison to perfect the Light Bulb? Was not over night. I don't think he saw the LED coming however! My Friend, Stay ingaged, and you also will find sucess.
half the commentary would be much better.
Sorry Mal!!! Thanks for watching though!!!
