links to parts?
Me too
Same here PLEASE! Some place like Rona or the local hardware store that I can pick up. *_THANK YOU!_*
What type of board and what thickness did you use mate
@@lukeheilbronn3631 pressed wood, 20mm thick
Good project, but I needed soundproofing against that music hook.
Me too
Your volume control does that. It's reusable too!
Brilliant! Just what I need for my noisy compressor. Thanks.
As somone with actual experience in fluid dynamics, there is no way in hell that the air intake is anywhere near adequate for air intake and for cooling your compressor. Don't be surprised when your compressor dies on you much much much earlier than you expected
Great job! I'm going to do the same thing as you did. Thanks a lot!
the before and after sold me to your idea. thankss
Great video! 👍😃 I love it!! 🤩
I'm looking to do the same basic thing except that I want the boxes to be built into a new wall I'm adding in the garage.
I have a basic idea of what I'm getting myself into but probably not entirely... I've decided that the empty space in the garage that tends to get stuff stacked & packed and then forgotten, needs to be sectioned off as it's own room with a specific purpose to keep clutter & disorganization to a minimum.
I'm designing an "Ebay room" (could be turned into a nursery if necessary?) in the garage. But my husband's large tools, like the air compressorS (and accessories) and the generator, need a permanent home where they're also still conveniently useful and easily accessible.
My solution is to build a wall beside the space where the car gets parked with built-in cabinets to hide his oversized tools. It'll consume some of my "Ebay room's" space to do this but it'll be worth it to provide a solution to multiple problems - the need to declutter, find a permanent home for his large tools where they're most useful anyhow, hide the large tools in plain sight, and the need for a raised "desk" work space in my area so this should work for both of us perfectly, in theory anyhow.... I hope... 🤞🤞 Nah, I'm certain it'll be better than what we've currently got going on in the garage! 🤣😉
I'm certainly open to suggestions here. Watching a few similar videos, I came across a retractable air hose contraption that I think I'll add into my plans but wait to give it to him as a Christmas gift. I didn't know something like that existed! He'll love that too!
I'll make one like yours. Seems easy and quick to make. Thanks for sharing your experience. Regards Norwegian in the Philippines 😉😊💪👍
Fantastic work Gareth, I had thought about it and seeing it on your channel is a great inspiration to build mine, i do a lit of sandblasting and my shop is basically an oversized shed in a residential area which limits my working hours to avoid disturbing my neighbours this has ought to fix my issues
Thanks for sharing, sub'd
Glad it was helpful 👌
Excelente trabajo, continúe subiendo videos así
Nice. I'm about to do something similar myself. That made some difference.. 👌
great work!
Great!
Great video!
great video and work i shall be building one of these boxes as my 3HP compresser shall drive our street nuts if i dont make it quiet, i am thinking of using loft instilation as a sound barrier and use 18mm chip board for walls and a computer fans for extraction of heat, great video.
Great the box still works perfectly its been over 7 months and i use it everyday. Tha ks for watching
That’s neat!
Romeo J HD did You come from Instagram
Cat Man Not insta
like the DIY box .
Thank you. Its pretty simple tho 😂
That first beat sounds like Anita Ward "ring my bell"...👍
Wow Awesomes thank you bro.
Thank you too
Good Job Thanks
Thanks to you
cool thanks
Thank you too
I have same thing I m now going to do this
Super bro
Thanks very much for this video. I have a small project to do in my apartment with a small compressor.
Please can you share how , where and name of the broad and tools you use.so that i can buy and build mine
Thank you
You're welcome
Wow
your video just solved my problem with my loud compressor...what are your thoughts on soundproofing material? also, i will be installing fans as you did...i will hook fans and compressor to a surge protector located outside of the box so i can turn them all on/off simultaneously...great vid!
Thanks! Sound proofing i just used sponge. But u can use whatever you feel can work for you.
Going to make one for my 3d printer tomorrow, its fkin killing me.... beep bop beep beep bop booooop beep.
LOL
go into coding, I hear some codes can change so it not do the beeping
Nice build! Did you measure DB? (Dezibel, how loud it is) there are Apps for that .. got same compressor and wonder how quit it can go
Decibel *
Boa noite.
Excelente vídeo.
Depois de ver vários videos achei o seu bem melhor.!
Tenho um compressor de 50 litros e vou fazer uma caixa dessa, a espuma realmente abafa o barulho???
Desde já agradeço a sua atenção!
A espuma ajuda a abafar o ruído, mas se tiver possinilidade use "rockwool", "lã de rocha". Geralmente é barata e é um excelente isolante de som. Fique bem.
wow!what a difference!!awesome job!!do you have a video for a generator?
Unfortunately not but im sure if you build it like this for your generator it will be fine and work perfectly
Nice.. im in the middle of watching it.. like your editing skills and to the point,.. Do you have a cut list, or part list, in the video or u can post, like material type, est. costs. etc.... Is using screws and metal a good idea or can you get by with an adhesive...? Solid work though.. ALSO I DID SEE another construction with the same crazy zig zag air lids like the others but his main difference was he removed the feet grommets and used bungee cords and heavy duty nylon straps weaving it underneath to have the unit suspended supposedly that was one of the biggest reductions. Thanks for taking the time to post your workflow though. Cheers.
Which material you used for get noise?
I mean what is the name of this foam and where did you buy it?
I want to order that but I couldn't find it
What material is it & where did you buy it?
Great video. I had thought of doing a similar process but using wood screws to join the pieces of wood/mdf. Are brackets better or stronger?
Another good idea is to “snake” ducting from the fan . I built a soundproof rehearsal booth and it’s day and night.
what is snake ducting?
Great video, does the extraction fan stay on or only when the compressor kicks in
Well done 👍 How is it holding up these days? Any design ideas if you were to build another one? Thank you for sharing this 🇨🇦🍻😎
Holds up good! I would definitely make another
Neat I came from Instagram
Sweet. That's awesome
good job man, but what is the material , i mean the white stuff fir the sound proof?
Do you have a list of stuff you used ? Thank you.
what kind of foam did you use?
Thanks for the video! How well did this hold up over time? Was heat an issue?
holds up great using it for more than 10 months now still works perfectly and use it everyday
@@GarrethCollins Thanks!!
What is the white foam stuff being glued in?
Thx Garreth, nice build, good info. By the way, what's your bike there?
Cheers
No problem there are more videos on my channel you can check them out if you like
Great idea. Do you think that will work for a pool pump? Enough air flow? Thanks.
Yeah i think it will but if water is spilled could damage the wood
Please what is the name of that white plastic you use in making holes with the drilling machine
Garreth how is this coping temperature wise? Have you had to increase airflow, or is keeping reasonably cool as built?
Hi i have been using it like this for about 8 months and no problems at all i used it everyday with no problems the fan i installed on the top is running as soon as i switch the compressor on and it works perfectly doesnt over heat at all as i have a vent on the side exactly whete the exhaust is placed for all the fumes to go out.
I notice you have a lip at the back where the top board meets the vertical back board (the part where you caulked)...is there a reason you wanted the lip and didnt make the boards overlap?
Is it going to help if I mix between two soundproofing foams or is it going to be next to useless? (Also keeping the holes for the air circulation)
Also, what are the dimensions? Thanks!
How many db's does your compressor output ?
What type of foam was used to line inside the box?
I would like to know the same.
What material were you using
Great vid, what kind of foam and box sealant did you use ?
I used chipboard for the wood, for the foam i used upholstery foam, and to seal the edges acrylic glue.
@@GarrethCollins Thank you! you have inspired me to make my own. Subscribed
@@kpp4463 - By far the best cheap and readily available sound insulation is "rockwool". BTW not to be confused with "fiberglass" insulation...
Best "bang for your bucks" or should I say "no bang". LOL 😂
What kind of foam did you ues
How do you connect the fan to power source?
Hey, great video and thank you for sharing your build! I wonder if the ventilation is enough for the compressor running all day? Have you experienced any issues with it? And have you re-cabled the on-off switch to be accessible from the outside? Thank you again for the video - I will build my own enclosure in the next couple weeks :)
Runs fine been using it like this for about 4 months no problems.
@@GarrethCollins Nice, thank you for your fast answer. That's cool, then I can start building my own now - cheers!
whats that foam?
What material did you use...
What did you use to line the box?
What size did you make yours?
How is it with heat? I have a direct drive as well. It’s a great compressor for my needs, it’s just LOUD! lol
Just fine i still use it till this day but thinking of buying a bigger compressor then build a new box for it
what did you use for the insulation material ?
yes, what is the insulating material? looks like a type of dense foam
Is there a fan at the top of the box, its function is to suck air from outside or suck air from inside the box?
yes theres is fan at the top to pull fresh air in, and one on the side to vent out hot air
@@dastanharris thanks sir
How many hp is your compressor?
Hi
Quick question - for the outlet do you used also a fan or natural flow..?
Also a fan
cou,ld you tell me what materials used, certain wood need to be used too?
Any wood should work. And any foam material
If you want to save money score an old fridge for free and use that for the box. Run snake ducting to make it even quieter
I built a generator box. Was 76 Db now 61. But I gotta go lower. Any ideas? Any reply appreciated cheers from Australia
Hi did you use insulation foam? Inside the box? If not and you cant find you can use old egg boxes and stick them in the inside of the box that will Lower the sound alot but make sure that there is enough circulation inside to keep it from over heating place a fan inside the box directly towards the generator and make smaller holes on the side for the air to keep circulating. And then get a rubber matt the length of the generstor id say atleast 6mm thick and place it underneath the generator and one underneath the box this will stop alot of vibration which will also lower the sound.
@@GarrethCollins I use acoustic eggshell style foam with bitumen then aluminum foil . It's used on high rise buildings four sound. But houses here are so close. I might have to sandbag around it. Or garage it with exhaust punting under garage door and leave about 50 mm clearance. I have a fan for ventilation and even wrapped exhaust in fibreglass heat packing from eBay. Used for motocross exhaust. Ok in day time but you know how at night noise travels. Don't want to upset neighbors! Cheers
Btw egg cartons are awesome four sound. I mean they are basically free. Thanks for the quick reply
So do you just keep the little fan on all the time? Or does it only turn on when the compressor turns on ?
It has a switch that i put on as i put the compressor on
Does fan blow out or suck in?
Sucks in.
What size are the wood?
So where does the heat go
Curious how this held up? How long did it last? What were some of the issues that came up?
Been using it for 3 years no issue
@@GarrethCollins Sick thanks!
Nice work. Is there a parts list somewhere I can take a look at? Would like to build a soundproof enclosure for my compressor too when I paint with my airbrush. Just to keep the neighbors happy! Thanks!
I love watching people wood work, who don’t usually wood work.... anyways. Impressive!!!
You make great content buddy. Awesome work. You definitely deserve more likes and subs.
One tip though: Try to attract more subs from countries with more UA-cam users. ✌️🙏
Thanks for watching glad you enjoying the videos. I'm not sure how to attract them the only way i can think. Of is if people that watch my content can share it in their countries?
What thickness was the particle board?
i think it was 15mm
How do you keep it from over heating
It has never over heated and its been about 3 tears now
My only concern would be the compressor overheating. Shortening it's life...
Is it true?
You could put some high speed cooling fans in the box to counter this?
you just lowered audio levels in post producion. withoud dB measuring it tells nothing. Plus it will overheat in that coffin.
Awesome build man. Do you remember how much this project costed? Would live to build one for my garage!
Not much like 2 hours
That’s cheap
Probably a stupid question but do you have a fan in electricity?
thank you
Ff
Air vent, inside I noticed it was raised somehow. Can you please describe what you did
do I have have the air flow of the fan going out of the box or fan blowing to compressor to cool it down?
Blowing in and create vent on side for air to exit
@@GarrethCollins thank you.
Where did you get 85%?
u burn down papas residence bro HA HA
☝️But you have to pay attention to one thing! Heat can cause fires! Your workshop can be reduced to ashes! Why not use lime or gypsum blocks !? The best way is to use aluminum plates for framing, with a strong cooling system, arrange it inside with gypsum or lime blocks, from the outside as under the roof, insulate it with fiberglass, two channels Dig the vent on it, one on the left and one on the right, the channels must be at least 2 meters high, you can even equip it with a car cooling system. But ventilation ducts are very important. Strictly avoid wood and plastic incendiary materials! Safety is the first important issue in technique!🤔
If it’s not overheating there is no issue. I’d be more concerned about air compressors exploding in general. That’s why my build has a cage inside. Every workshop should have a fire extinguisher as a rule anyway. More chance of a grinder starting a fire than an air compressor
Dude, list the materials you are using. isn't Fiberboard the best?
Good idea but lack of explanations make it a pointless video really.
joia
cheap? that looks like most of a sheet of 3/4" MDF and idk what the foam is. what are the material costs?
Hey Garreth, a feq Qs. Where did you buy the upholstery foam? Is your compressor sitting on foam directly? Did you ever consider soundproofing materials like those used for homes - or somehow you found out this foam works wonders?
And thank you for the clip, woke up today determined to solve my 5hp/60gallons compressor noise issues.
No probs. 👌👌 Found the foam at a lockal supply warehouse. And i used rubber underneath to minimize the vibration.
@@GarrethCollins Actual rubber? like the stuff they use for ice/snowy conditions? How thick?
@@cubul32 Rubber floor matts
I've watched about 15 of these "silent compressor box" videos and yours is by far the quietest. Which is odd because in several other videos where they test the effectiveness of sound proofing material, the foam ranks pretty low (common bathroom towels score really well actually). Could you link the exact type of sponge material you used? Thanks!
Could just buy a new compressor. Modern high quality compressors arent too loud and one with a large tank so its not turning on as much
Dynamat.
A decibel meter would have been better for the before and after ?
why is it so hard to find actual data on these projects....showing a before and after means nothing, give me NUMBERS...
That's like $300 can of wood.
That a baby compressor
Yeah
Good video, music is cancer though.
Thanks 👌 you are more than welcome to find me good music thats not copyrighted. Im sure the video would of been boring without it 😂😂😂
I guess I could just mute the volume. Also, how does the compressor go with heat, does it overheat much in the enclosure?
@@WogChilli i havnt had any problems so far and its been more than a year this way.
That's not bad then, have you tested the db? I'm looking at buying one of those new silent compressors to run indoors for finish carpentry
Good effort. really annoying music. mute
i'm gonna make one of these to put my girlfriend in.
Not cheap or easy. Lol dude builds motorcycles and rides them out of there and he’s worried about the compressor. Lol just kidding hood job.
