Here are the materials I used on the duct system: Self Fusing Silicone Tape Black 1.5" X 36-Foot - amzn.to/4el1XB1 Professional Grade Aluminum Foil Tape - amzn.to/40DzIK5 Decibel Meter - amzn.to/4ejj71b Digital Wind Speed CFM Meter Gauge Air Flow Velocity Tester - amzn.to/4foOGHU
My plan is to locate my dust collection outside my shop in an attached shed, along with the air compressor, mostly for noise, but to save floor space, give better access to clean out direct to trash and allow the leaky dust a place to go rather than back into the shop. Your detailing your install gives a lot of help!
Smart move! I plan to do the same some day. I want to locate the dust collector, air compressor, and wood stove all in a separate building that is partitioned between the air and the heat parts. I just don't have the time or cash to do so right now, but when I do start, I will do the heat part first then move the other stuff out one at a time. The ductwork and compressor lines will just continue as-is right through the wall. 😊
Thanks Larry! I don't think I will have a quantitive number on how much the sound is lowered, but it will definitely be quieter! More important to me is the leak of CFM (cubic feet per minute). Clogs would be a disaster, but I think the spiral cutter heads and a leak-free system will make sure that that does not happen with this system. 😊
I would have been inclined to seal everything up myself, but don't think I would have thought of the long seams and definitely wouldn't have thought of the gores. 🤔
It's actually made by Oneida. It has a nice door on it, and I will be putting magnets under it to catch any screws or other sparking stuff that tries to make it into the system. Never used it yet, but think it will work fantastic!

I really want to have a shop like this some day!
I've literally been waiting for this all my life! It wont have the finest of everything, but I will be able to make anything in it! 😊
Hi Mojo great video it will be really interesting to learn how much noise reduction you achieved,good job

Surprisingly, the long seams and gores leak like crazy!
Where did you get that floor sweep from? Is that just an upside down duct?

Is that silicone tape similar to the stuff used in electrical work?
I believe it's the same stuff, just wider and maybe a little thinner. Really tough stuff though!
