    It really shows how much experience you have when you build something like this, Matthias! It's simple in principle, but all the parts interact with each other in complex ways and you intimately understand how they work.

    Your earlier blower videos inspired me to make my own. I got a cheap 750 watt electric water pump for $25, lopped off the pump casting and pulled the impeller. I used a 3/4" piece of hardwood ply for the blade disc and routed 1/8" wide grooves 3/8 deep for the blades to glue into. The blades themselves I used some 1/8 Aluminum flat bar I bent curved using a wooden form. The motor spins at 3450, so I figured metal blades would be a better option for me. It's been working well for over a year so far.

    Another nice build Matthias! The enclosed base of my tilting router lift is cleared by an external dust collector. This works quite well too but I found that the negative pressure as well as chip build up in the router's cooling vents caused the router to get hotter than normal under longer use. I solved this by hooking up a 4 in. flexible plastic dryer hose to the router's cap and porting it to a vent hole in the cabinet. Cool clean air is able to more freely pass through the router and this seemed to solve the problem.

    8:22 is one good use of those multitools you've previously said you never found much use for. It takes a steady hand to do well, I think I might get better results with one than a jig saw. But it's also way louder and takes way longer.

  • @nyw11

    I was wondering how you picked the radius on the fins, and found in your article "I arbitrarily picked the radius for the blades to what seems intuitively right. I want the outer tips of the blades to be near tangential to the circumference and the inner end to be near radial." I liked the near tangetial, and near radial advice.

Your videos allow people to actually get to a working feature that makes all future projects safer, less messy, and more professional. Thank you for what you do.

      There's a website belonging to a guy that wrote extensively on the subject (he was apparently extremely sensitive to wood dust). You might see if you can track down the website of that guy - it's way, way too paranoid about wood dust for most people, but it might just be perfect for your situation. The only clue I have for you is that the Wood Whisperer referenced his work when he was doing dust collection for his shop - I'd offer more but I haven't watched those videos in a couple years or so.

    It’s probably one of the best router table I have ever seen, I did mine in a much simpler way using a car jack (aka crick depending how you call it :)). I have a wooden home made top, which I fished with oil (possible mistake) and a fence with a hole that is probably too big. The overall experience isn’t great, the work piece sometimes is hard to push, sometimes is too quick (plywood should be similar). Adjusting the fence is hard and without a feather is almost unusable...🤔 I’m using an Heinell router (not a trimmer), I was not confident nor precise using it by hand and I continue to struggle when it’s mounted on the table saw.. 🤗

    Thanks for sharing, as always, Matthias. A personal view is that it feels like some stages are skipped through a little quicker (forgive me if not) and I wonder if that’s because most of us have followed you for a long time and you feel we may not want to see it? You understand your video analytics much better than most (and SO much better than I), but I could watch more detail over more (or longer) videos with full enjoyment. Again, it’s a personal preference and certainly not a criticism.
