Garage Shop Dust Collection - DIY Woodworking
Adding a 5hp HEPA cyclone Oneida Dust Gorilla Pro in my garage. Actually, I added the Gorilla to my shed and ran ducting to my shop from there. I give a comparison to my old Laguna dust collector and show the before and after results of this huge upgrade. My wife and my lungs want to give a big thanks to Oneida for providing this unit. My garage has never been cleaner and my lungs have never been safer.

The Onieda is removing a tremendous amount of air from your shop. Are you returning it to the shop from the shed? If not, your shop is in serious negative pressure when the collector is on. You will want to think through where the air is going to come from; you don't want it to be drawing from an area that has a gas fired appliance.
So I have a cracked window to keep myself from dying. Got that tip from someone on Instagram. Also added a carbon dioxide (monoxide?) detector. It will suck the cold and warm air out though.I don’t run it all day,, usually short bursts. If it becomes a problem I’ll get a return set up though. Good points!
In my case, I'm in south Texas, no a/c in the shop, if I'm working the garage door it up and a 5' fan is blowing in. LOL
Great video. What about if you are in a cold climate. How easy is it to clean and how is the silencer?
Yes, if I did that here the amount of heat I’d lose would be prohibitively expensive.
Roger Manwaring, Jr I. I would agree with you if his shop was an otherwise sealed vessel. I imagine the garage doors are not particularly tight. I would like to see some data but I doubt there is more than 0.125 psi difference in shop pressure with the vacuum running and ambient outside pressure. It’s an interesting theoretical issue but not an actual problem. A simple vent in the garage door would solve that 1/8 pound issue....if it is an issue.
My favorite tool is my lazy boy recliner, I sit in it and watch you work. Enjoy your videos.
Well done!
As an amateur with woodworker, i typically feel overpowered with the entire arrangement kzhead.infoUgkxrYREG3-7f1Aqk9ams3ZESRNzGnfdUtyQ . Be that as it may, this arrangements drove me through with much clarity and effortlessness woodplans. Works i now work like a genius. That is great!
My dust collector by far makes my life the easiest. I have hand-me-down cyclone similar to the Oneida (but not as good) from Penn State Industries (they don't make them anymore). It came from my dad's shop. He accidentally dropped the impeller and motor while trying to get the motor off to replace the bearings. He had it loaded in the back of his car ready to take it to the dump when I saw it and claimed it. I hammered out all the dents, took the motor to a motor-repair guy and it worked for another year before the motor burned out. So I called Penn State Industries and they happened to have one last motor on their parts shelf. It's been working great ever since. And Cam, you're inspiring me to start a woodworking YT channel too. I'm going to try to post my first video by Christmas. I have really enjoyed your work - while perhaps not the most 'technical', it's very beautiful.
KZhead. I wouldn't know how to do 75% of the stuff I do without instructional videos. I installed a heat pump water heater a year or so back. It was about 300 pounds. I used rope + climbing pulleys to get it up high enough while my dad maneuvered it into place. I couldn't have imagined trying to do it without that mechanical advantage.
Oh man. That’s sporty!
Pocket Knife - Hey Cam, I just ordered a 2 HP Harvey C200-30. The delivery truck dropped it off at the end of my driveway. For most people, that's probably not too big a deal, but my driveway is over 200 yards long. I used what I had on hand, my furniture dolly and ratchet straps, to move this 470 box alone. It took all of my nearly 200 lbs. pulling as hard as I could to tip the box so I could move it. When I did, it build way more momentum than I was expecting or had ever experienced. The dolly handle basically buried itself in my pelvis and just crushed me to the ground. I was lucky as hell I didn't blow an ACL and was just barely able to stand it back up. I did slightly pull a quad doing that (I don't do heavy super deep squats any more), but I managed just barely to get it up. The rest of the 200 yard trip went without incident, but if you want a good don't do it this way story, that's my most recently one :)
Jesus man! Tip the guy $20 next time and save yourself. Great story though
@@BlacktailStudio That would have been the smart approach. However, the part of me that still thinks I'm a 26 year old powerlifter apparently won't die 😂
My favourite tool is my leatherman multi tool. Lives on my hip at work and hardly a day goes bye without it coming out. Miss it at the weekend will need to add it to my weekend hear. Love how it all came together for you. My new shed is flat packed on my driveway waiting on a dry period so that the earthworks can be done in my backyard. Five weeks later. Rain rain rain. Being Australia and after having the worst ever bushfire season, my mind is a quagmire of hoping for a dry spell but enjoying the unusual rain.
Well enjoy the rain while you can!
Best tool for me has been my $5 husky folding box cutter. I have more knives than I can count but that impulse buy three years ago has become my EDC. I appreciate seeing IRL struggles doing things by yourself. It can seem like I’m the only one. I had a bear of a time moving around a floor scrapper that I rented to tear out the old flooring in my house. I didn’t think much of it but should have asked more questions when they had two large men load it into my Subaru. That was fun to get out on my own. Even more fun getting it back in for the return trip. Thankfully all fingers and toes made it unscathed.
That’s good work!
Im rewatching your stuff . I shouldn’t have to please post more often !
Absolutely my dust collector makes my garage shop easier. Did the exact same thing with my Grizzly G0443 motor/impeller. Survived. But cut the crap out of one finger flipping it over.
One of the best stories I have, was buying my jointer/planer out of a basement in Philadelphia. One way up and down. 28” wide staircase, that had a door perpendicular to the direction of the stairs. It’s a Hammer A3-31, weighs about 700lbs. Rented a 1200lb escalera piano hauler that barely fit through the door. Took about 6 hours and 3 guys in some VERY precarious situations to finally get it up and out.
There’s always a way!
Hey Cam, love your channel and your work. Coming from a 60 yrs young construction guy. Please take care of your back. That motor install made me hurt. And yes I've done some stupid things. Too many too mention. I used to build bowling alleys. ☺
Fav tool: AEG 58V leaf blower. Regarding the motor install, If it had been me I'd have gone doorknocking with my neighbours until I found a big man. "Excuse me mate, I'm from across the street. I've got a new piece of machinery for my shed and it's a two man job and I need someone's help for about 15 seconds of lifting. I hate to ask but I'll buy you a (insert generic gift, bottle of wine? Six pack? Block of chocolate?) if you help?" It's that easy. Don't be afraid of your neighbours, you never know how helpful they might be!
In 2005 we moved into a new home and the first thing I purchased was a DeWalt power drill. My husband laughed and asked me why I needed it. I used it so much, I’m into home DIY. My husband found it came in very handy for him too. He stopped giving me a hard time. I still use it. I’m in the process of upgrading my craft room. I have always loved woodworking but I have to admit the power saws scare me. I am able to do woodworking by building a doll house. Much easier to handle. Great video.
Smart phones really make life easier nowadays. Having a powerful suction unit is key to staying healthy. I work in a dental laboratory. I do model work which involves using vertical sanding belt trimmers, lathes and hand pieces. It kicks up a lot of dust from the dental casts. Thankfully our suction unit are huge and incredibly powerful. Really saves my lungs and is more important than you know.
That’s crazy! Thanks doc
This is the best investment I ever make for my shop this dust collector is a beast and it is "American Made"
It is!
Love to relax watching your videos. While you do all the work.
You won't believe this one, my speakers. It helps me to relax and it doubles the experience.
That’s a good one!
Tool that makes my life easier as an amateur wood worker is my table saw. Can’t afford the fancy saw stop I want but I finally upgraded from my little porter cable job site saw I got at a garage sale to the rigid cabinet saw. A world of difference.
Oh for sure!
That’s a wicked hard question Cam...so many tools. But I guess it’s the bench I designed and built from a $50 pile of blue stained sugar maple back in the late 80’s. Rock solid, it’s like an old friend, always there to help me with never a complaint.
That’s awesome!
Heres my similar story. I was building a 3-phase generator for my workshop. Using a 10 hp motor , mounting it over my meter panel was quite a challenge. I ended up using a cheap bike lift attached to my overhanging rafters. Mounted it on a pair of unistrut brackets . BTW im 5'7 and 74yo. and never been to a gym. Being a retd engineer helped.
my Starrett stuff from back in my machinists days long time ago 70s . Thank you Cam . loved the oh! shift moments . reminded me of me lol . gosh man good luck. my worst oh shift moment was the garage door spring . the lag screws were coming out . hey just 2 bolts . replace em one at a time . loosened one and the whole thing jumped off and chewed my arm off .. oh and at least i bent the 1" steel bar that got me . old geezers are tough lol . so be careful if you must hire someone to help you . early morning at home depot you might find someone that needs work . good luck Cam
My favourite tool is the computer. I've been able to watch all your videos from the Netherland because of this tool. Thanks for your contents.
That’s a good tool!
My 2x72 is my unsung hero. Love your videos and style. I am trying to find my rhythm with my own videos. Thanks for sharing.
Good luck man! Don’t listen to what people say you have to do to have success on KZhead. If it’s not natural anyway
Its New Years Eve (2021/2022) and I am a one man small shop -- in the making. I have the beginnings of a shop with the table saw, jointer, band saw, new 13" planer (arrived two days ago - zero use yet), drill press etc. Currently have a small cyclone dust collection attached to my shop vac. I loved your "Don't do this' beginning, because as I said, I am a one man shop (and 73 years old). Although I would love the set up you have, I am not to that point in my wood working, and will probably start with the mini gorilla set up. Just wanted you to know that the info you provided was awesome, although the free-bee I am jealous of. Thanks for your video Made in USA is awesome selling point.
That’s Tim, and good luck!
My pallet forks that attach to the tractor. It is a life saver!!! Great build!!! The new resting place is much better!!
Oh nice!
My utility knife. If I am honest, they is probably the #1 tool I reach for in the shop, office and house. Cutting tape, opening packages, cutting bundle straps, trimming laminate, marking lumber, trimming 3d Printed parts, etc. Great video man. I'm working on getting thje wife to sign off on an under the deck shed here. It's full height and right outside the garage!
Oh awesome!!
My impact driver! Thank you so much! I so needed this information. There isn't much good advice when it comes to dust collection. I'm glad I was able to find good advice here. Thanks again 😊
My pleasure jon!
Very nice video. The only downside of having the collector in the shed is that you are sucking cooled or heated shop air out of the shop. If you could add ducting to put the filter stack inside the shop, you would then be returning the same temperature air back into your shop.
Yup!
Thanks for showing us your Oneida unit along with your install. It’s a superb unit. Bless them as they blessed you. Your shop and shed are great.
Again with the blessings. Can I use fairy dust instead? Or unicorn farts? Do 10 blessings equal one hallelujah?
That ladder scene made me happy I got the Harvey G700.
The air fryer has made my life a lot easier haha. Also steel toed sneakers, I just ordered those indestructable shoes their called on the tip of my friend Birdie who is a badass builder. She stepped on a nail full on and it did not go through.
I bought those. Still wear my flip flops
My favorite tool is KZhead, it has giving me the ability to learn many things from wood working, epoxy, spray paint art, and detailing the car. When should one consider a dust collection system?
I’d say make it your third tool.
@@BlacktailStudio i would agree, right after the miter saw, because nothing will inform you of the need for a dust collector like a miter station will!
if you get a planer, do it immediately. Small projects a mask and shop vac if you use it once a year, otherwise, if you use it all the time, get something hepa certified. The dust will kill you
@@sophiesmith5922 in my old shop I installed the dust collector the day after I got a planer.
Running power to my tiny shed, a recent upgrade, has made my life so much easier and allowed me to build new shelves and work benches from scrap wood. This has created so much more space, even though it's still an 8' x 10' shed and a third is storage. Throwing out a load of crap also helped.
Nice!!
Bailey #4. I know this probably sounds like a troll comment, but I’m really glad you got the system for free. HEPA systems are great at keeping the particles in check, but you don’t really need to worry about that unless you are planning to work in your shed. Nice clean air in there though, won’t get your mower dusty. Great videos though, very inspiring!
My favorite tool is a pair of needle nose pliers my dad used when he was in the Navy in the early 50's. He had a favorite saying he picked up then, if you can't fix it force it, and watching you improvise going up that ladder with the motor had me laughing and remembering him. Thanks as always for your videos!
Thanks mike! Happy to entertain with shady tactics
I pretty much am a hand tool woodworker with vintage saws, planes, chisels, etc. I do use a router occasionally as well as a jigsaw and drill press. Even though I don't generate a lot of power generated dust, it is enough to affect my breathing and I am ever more aware of the need for a dust collection system even though on a much smaller scale. Perhaps the most time saving tool I currently use is my trim router mounted on a clamp on table that I built for doing dados and edge treatments. Believe me, hand creating dados is a little more time consuming than I normally choose to endure. Thanks for sharing your dust project, believe it or not, I did amass quite a bit of useful information. Cheers and enjoy your shop, it is really a nice setup.
A 20yr old Craftsman extended & magnetized Phillips screwdriver. It fits just about every phillips screw that I need to put in (w/o a cordless driver). Doing electrical work, automotive, or trying to reach a pita-screw... so simple a tool and yet my goto when I need it. Congrats on Oneida and their generosity to improve your health and woodshop! You are now Mr Liquid Glass and Oneida Jr. Please follow up when you get the auto-gates, and here's a tip: you could have laid the vac down, bolted the motor on, then stood it up. Plus you need to re-arrange those shed shelves because, well, how will your reach the garden food? I know, build a cleat-wall between the vac and aircomp, or, get another shed with the money saved by Oneida! Oh another suggestion: Paint the metal ducts black, to go with BlackTail :)
Great tips!
Well I invested in a wet/dry vac. I know it sound stupid but it has saved time and money with spills and cleaning inside my house shop and both my cars. I don't have as many specific tools as I once needed to keep my house functional and clean. So I definitely gives props to the wet/dry vac (Rigid) is the brand. Love the videos and content is is very informative and definitely is fun to watch things come together in shape and form. 👍🏻
Thanks Stan!!
It's so quiet in my shop with the air compressor and dust collector outside in the shed.....*neighbor sits on patio sipping coffee with ear protection on*... lol Awesome upgrade, I'm still dragging a hose around the shop...
Insulated shed and no neighbor on that side of the house. Just a field 😉
Cam, My go to tool is a screwdriver that has 2 straight and 2 Phillips drivers. I’m ver impressed with your instillation of the dust filter. Today I mounted an 8 ft. LED light on my garage ceiling that is 14 feet off the ground....solo. I spent a lot of time climbing down and finding stuff I dropped! Fun.
My plasma cutter is one of my favorite tools. It made cutting metal so much faster and easier. I enjoyed the video!
Sorry but I did really chuckle watching you struggle with that motor assembly. We’ve all been there. No way I’m gonna stop in the middle of a project to wait on help! Tool that makes my life better, Festool Rotex 125. It saves life’s most precious commodity, time.
Great tool!
I really need to get a good dust collection system in place. I'm drowning in dust all the time and that's not good. Also can't afford it, so maybe I should contact Oneida too! Anyway, the tool that I appreciate the most is an odd small one - it is a spring punch nail set. It's so handy I can't imagine not having one now. And the crazy thing I did that I probably shouldn't have done, but it worked out in the end, was lifting a file cabinet onto a 5 foot platform by myself. I made the platform so I could use more vertical space in my garage office, but then when I needed to get it up there it was late at night and I was by myself. I couldn't move on to the next thing I had to do until it was up there, so I struggled and fought to get it up there for about half an hour and finally got it up there. It almost crushed me several times, but in the end it worked out. :-) Thanks for the vid
Just seen the Milwaukee gloves again when you were mounting that smart boost. I’ll watch the video to the end 😂😂and get that works I need to start with to get priority response.
The amazing thing to me is that you struggled with that motor on the ladder without one curse word, I mean just watching I found myself cussing up a storm. :)
I agree with Brian my favorite tool is You Tube. I recently made a over head dust collection for my table saw using auto tailpipe components. Slipped together like a dream and works great. Used a 4x2 T Y and 2 inch tubing. With the hood and all components, I didn't spend $100. My son suggested I make a You Tube video and build him one.
That’s great call!
The tool that makes my life the easiest is my coffee pot..... oh seriously I thought you were going to fall..... I had the same thought when you got that motor in place... THANK YOU G!
My cleaning attachment that I can ise with my drill made my life easier. While I was watching this video mt husband told me that the houses we are looking at have big garages to build me a shop. I have always been very interested in woodworking and being an engineer it's hard not to get consumed by these awesome crafts. Enjoyed your video.
Thanks dolly!
Drum sander simply because it is the newest tool in our shop. Since you can get tear out easily with planers, the drum sander saves a bunch of time and energy. We are still using a shop vac-based dust collection with a Wen air filter in the ceiling. Cool system, Cam. Congrats.
Great video, looking forward to the detailed ducting video. I would say my shop apron with pouches and my french cleat wall help me out a lot! Having a specific place to put tools when I'm done, or when my wife/daughter borrow a tool, so I know where it is the next time I need it. I purchased a couple small tools because I just could not find the one I knew I owned, only to find the original a month or two later! lol
That was crazy putting that motor on like that. You have wood joists right above you to use, even if you just supported it from the joist incase it fell. The ladder like that is a good way to go ladder surfing, been there done that. That vac system is awesome for sure
That would have cost me precious minutes! I’ll risk paralysis vs wasting 30 min
My double bevel compound miter saw (DeWalt) is the tool that has made my life incredibly easy for the past 2 years! Baseboards and building the very bench it sits on👍
my bench/assembly table is the best thing I have right now. I'm waiting on upgrading to an actual dust collector from just using a shop vac and I can't wait. Love seeing how you set yours up.
Thanks Alex!
Dust collector is definitely my favorite tool. Either that or my Grizzly table saw I got a year ago. I just turned my single stage Jet dust collector into a two stage and had the same issues lifting the motor, though mine wasn't near that heavy. We've all been there. Nice work! Will definitely improve the quality of your shop time.
Thanks buddy!
Thanks for all the info you put on this videos they are very helpful. I'm to collect the most info to start my journey in woodworking. I love you work, looking forward to keep watching your channel. Thanks.
Thanks, and welcome!
My Ford tractor. Loved how you muscled the motor to the top. I have been there far too many times. It gets into place just through shear determination.
The only way sometimes
Dude, the roast comments at the end of every video are gold!!
The helical head jointer is a tool I seem to use so very often...it's probably my favorite! Thanks for sharing, Cam!
Love me some helical
Honestly for the main most useful tool I've ever used for any of my crafts: Awls! I use awls for marking measurements, poking holes, putting tiiiiny details on stuff, sizing holes in leather to the proper size, all sorts of stuff! To the point I'm thinking about making a dedicated storage thing for my awls once my shop is finally set up. Most useful one is an old one my late grandpa made, papa always made tools when he didn't have something on hand. He ended up grinding down a VERY old Craftsman phillips screwdriver into a smooth point, and even as I type this it's sitting next to me. I feel these are very underrated tools lol
Great job. It made your shop look great and thanks for sharing it with us.
My cabinet saw, it is terrible that we hate our backs so much. Some day they are going to find you laying under a slab or a dust collector motor!. Of course when I was your age I did the same stupid sh!t that you do. Now my 64 year old back brings tears to my eyes pretty much every day. Nice dust collector!!
That’s so far away... I know you’re right
Best tool is a old Braddle. So many uses apart from making pre pilot holes. It’s a pick, a hole alignment tool, a scrapper of difficult old paint and varnish finishes, a small pot opener, an expoxy small surface filling tool, a ruler (I know how long the blade is from point to handle, a hole maker for leather stitching and so many more. I keep it clean and sharp. It’s only small and I constantly forget where I last put it down!
I know that game!
Makes me smile every time you said SHED. It's sounds something else in my head 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Artists are generally solitary creatures. Don't feel bad. I don't have very many friends either. I am extremely fortunate to have a very strong man living next door to me who would help me with something like this and after watching you do this yourself I would probably just pay Oneida to bring some techs out to my shop and have them do it. That is, when I win the lottery.
I’m with ya Dwayne
Hard one to answer their are so many. Nice looking system .
Thanks nick!
Clamps all types and sizes!!! Also feel your pain on not having people to help with heavy lifting. Needed to put a drill press up on a stand and ended up using a winch attached to rafters.
Good idea!
Let's see, it would have to be the jointer (shop), the new pellet smoker & 42" T.V. (back deck) and our 3 (yes 3!!!) semi-crazy dogs (to keep the tweeker thief's away!). Thanks for this video, I've been tossing around the idea of moving my dust collection outside the shop into a building (shed) next to my shop wall. I'll have to insulate & sound proof it (neighbors). Also adding the air compressor in the mix will also help. Thanks again.
WOW - may your lungs and overall health thank you from here on out. The woods(non juglone containing) that are garden friendly as dust/chips, consider recycling into the garden.
It was breath takeing, thrilling episode 😜😂😂
just ordered the sane unit last Friday, cant wait to get it set up!
Love your channel brother. My wife got me a cantaloupe slicer and it’s super fun to cut cantaloupes. Lol. Do u see how pathetic my life is. Your channel brings me joy though. Stay safe out there.
Melon sliced is pretty sweet though.
I have to say the Mobile Shop PM Cart is the tool that has made my life a lot easier at work. I work on industrial HVAC equipment so I had to customize it a little bit. Also, great video.👍
Very cool!!
I thought it was funny how you mounted motor lol. I just bought a aunt 18bx and invited three other friends over and gave them all a 6 pack of their favorite beer or cider, and some bud ! I guess I was lucky
My Sawstop 3hp Professional Cabinet saw is my always-go-to tool. Dude, please promise to ground the actual ducting. Dust builds up a tremendous static charge (think static discharge wicks on airplanes). I watched a very informative (Steve Johnson) KZhead video on dust collection. Best advise: use unshielded braided copper wire and wrap the ducts from every blast gate all the way to the collector. I used self-tapping metal screws that had a built-in rubber washer that sealed the penetration. The screws actually penetrate the ducting into the airstream where all that dust is creating mischief. Wherever you have an duct intersection I used wire connectors to splice the different “circuits.” Good luck!
I promise I promise!
My favorite tool to make life easier in the garage is my leaf blower. I'm in a small space and dust collection is a simple shopvac with filter so small dust everywhere. Leaf blower helps get things cleaned out a bit. Maybe next time rig up a small pully in the rafter and just pull it up. Easy to do and a strong pully can be easily attached and unattached anywhere. Especially when you are moving some of those big slabs. Congrats on the new toy! She looks powerful!
I use mine ALL THE TIME in my shop
Buying my first Wagner spray gun took my painting business to a whole new level. Not being a dedicated woodworker, have maximise the space in my one car garage workshop. So had to centre my dust collector in between benches and modify it to fit. Bolting it vertically above a “wheelie” bin, by myself too. So watching you certainly brought back memories! 😣 You have my sympathy ☺️
Love that!!
Nice video and system! I look forward to seeing how a video about your duct work. I recently purchased the Oneida super cell. I opted for the super cell because I only need to connect one dust producer at a time and the super cell as a lower footprint for my small shop. I'm very happy with it. Like your unit, no chips coming from planer or jointer now.
Good living isn’t it??
Not a woodworker myself, at first I thought this video was going to be showcasing some of your favorite dusts in your personal dust collection.
Sometimes you just have to muscle something up to make it work. I do it all the time and EVERYTIME I feel like Im the stupid one for not figuring out how the manufacturer really wanted it done (and it just not true). A beautiful system.
Showing that struggle was one of the realest things I've seen on this site
Great video! Dust collection is a major thing I’ll be upgrading in my shop in the next couple weeks.
That’s awesome. You’ll be happy
My Laguna 14/12bandsaw was the best thing I bought last year. Makes things sooooo much easier!
For sure!
Yep, same struggle getting my Grizzly band saw on it's new roller base. This video makes me want to buy the dust system. Really quiet when you put it outside the shop. I'll be building a closet outside the garage for mine.
It’s the best thing ever having it out there
Lol! I always end up doing things on my own and just like you n this vid, it’s a fine line between an F up and success with a good helping of putting out what ever body part is under pressure!! Normally my back!! 🤦🏻♂️
Right??
My drill press makes life really easy. I can put a cross slide vise on and even do light milling work.
My table saw makes my life easiest! You might ask why but I just picked up my first one cheap. I've been using a chop saw and hand held saw for years. The table saw is making my projects so much better and quicker. Good video.
Oh, it’s my favorite too
That is the Love that small shed, I was thinking of doing that. Working in the basement and I need a dust collector bad
Oh nice!
My Festool track saws make my life much easier! i am a big wood working hobbyist and purchase many tools. i have been in a wheelchair for over 37 years due to a car accident in my 20s and i have many stories about moving tools by myself. i have unloaded two uni-saws from my trucks by myself and set them up with 52' T fences. i unloaded my Powermatic 3520 lathe by my self and so many other tools that i could write a book. neighbors will watch me and shack their head in amazement. I'm getting older and smarter and now ask for help! :-) i am trying to decide on which dust collector to buy this week and the unit that you purchased is in the running, its between this unit and the blue competitor. thanks for the video, it looks like it is working as it should...enjoy!
That’s awesome to hear!
Holy crap that's a great system. I'm jealous.
Helical Head on my jointer. Night and day difference. Great dust collection. That is my next major purchase. I was hoping they offered some kind of discount for your viewers!!!!
I know right??
Looked like a tough job. I was in the Air Force for 11 years. I worked on generators, lots of heavy parts. My first deployment in Kandahar, I had to replace a radiator for a unit. The generator engine was a John Deere 6.8L diesel!!! So yeah pretty nice size radiator. I wanted to replace it by myself, mind you, it is 120+ degrees outside. I got the radiator almost completely in and one more push and good...nope! I pushed way too hard and punctured the radiator. After about 5 min of "not so pleasant" words. I took out the radiator I just put a hole in and got another one. I was a lot more careful the second time. Moral to the story, grab a wingman.
I've gone down a "Sampson Boat Company" YT rabbit hole. The things that Leo does with a pulley and rope is just amazing.
Crazy!!
My 8-quart Instapot, although I have a lot of tools that make my life easier,that has got to be the one that saves me the most time. Cam I swear when I was watching this video, I thought that looks like something I would try to attempt by myself. Like the time I tried to get a washing machine out of storage, and into my house, using the bottom half of a shopping cart, by myself. Great video you can really tell that Onida makes a difference. Jimmy
Thanks Jimmy!
My favorite tool would have to be milwaukee m18 fuel surge impact driver. As a part time mechanic and woodworker, I find this tool to be the perfect crossover into both worlds
I got the same one!
Naming a favorite tool is like have a favorite child, I love them all equally. Beware of static electricity with that little red can sitting so close. Found your channel a couple of weeks ago and love the work.
Thanks bud!
I am researching dust collectors this would make my life easier than anything at the moment. I have rearranged my shop to accommodate a dust collector just trying to figure which one. Definitely want a 5hp. Love your live edge slab videos they are incredible.
Thanks brayton!
My moxon vice makes my life easier. I cut a lot of dovetails and I am really glad I made the vice. Much better than just clamping it to my workbench.
I need to step up my vise game
Recent Kreg ACS table purchase has probably been the biggest player recently in my shop. And just the other day I had a real sketchy time trying to get a 400lb toolbox out of my station wagon by myself
Oh, that is sporty
Obviously, you are your best friend..very well done..
Cheers
The tool that makes my life easier is KZhead. I can watch channels like yours to learn new things. This is an awesome setup and I'm pretty sure I would have installed the motor the same way. Clearly, I need more friends as well 😂
Thanks!
