Went out for a pack of darts and never came back... you made great content.

I just love it when TH-camrs thank a sponsor for the hundreds or thousands of dollars of merchandise they get for free that I can't afford to buy for my shop. Kind of like the Nazi concentration camp commandants that ate nutritious meals in front of their starving prisoners.

By far the best dust collection video on TH-cam! Thanks for all the awesome content!

didn't put the extra 1K in for an SCM? tsk tsk. Live and learn.

I just found your channel and have been watching every video. You are a great teacher! You provided great resources that I can use. I have learned so much and have applied a lot of the learnings in my shop. Keep sharing!

Engineering and woodworking are a nice combo. You have the added capability of laying things out in CAD, which is cool. Im currently trying to do something similar.

Hi Blake, I was wondering if you received a potential safety issue notice from Oneida regarding the bolts that secure the fan to the motor on the V-3000?

You are f7nny.... i never realised that hand thing.... i agree. It might be silly indeed...

HRVs are great. But, I do wonder what the issues might be of long term venting of a woodworking shop through an HRV might be. Part of the reason I want ventilation is to get fine dust particles out of my shop that the dust collection system is missing. But that implies that dust is going through the HRV, and slowly clogging the small passages in the heat exchanger. Maybe the solution is that take compressed air to the HRV, and blow it out every 6 months? Or maybe I'm worrying about something that isn't really a problem.

I’m liking how you explained this. Wood it not be an advantage to somehow move the jointer and shorten the flex pipe to 4’ minimum? The flex pipe has a big drop in cfm does it not?

Found your videos from Scott Walsh... something about you seemed familiar... then you said Sun Chips and I immediately recognized the Mitch Hedberg vibe... crisis of ADHD hyperfocus averted...

Great video all around man!

No miter saw?

Cool that you kept it under $50 total!

damn, this was three years ago. I still stop by this channel to check for new videos. rip a good channel. I hope you are doing good bud, maybe you can pick it back up when your youngest is in college.

Engineering work must be busy. Haven't seen a video in a couple of years. Nice to see another Canadian on here, I'm in Medixine Hat.

I keep coming back to this for inspiration as I budget and design my system - thanks for putting out such great work and excited for any future videos!

Personal preference, but I think the shots with the second camera are distracting.

Scott Walsh sent me here, as an ME I appreciatte the format!

What type of Aenometer do you use? My dust collector max’s out my cheap one. Any recs that aren’t ungodly expensive

I really enjoyed your videos. Too bad no videos lately.

Beautiful work, although I will never ever understand the choice of metal framing. Jealous of how this is coming along!

At the 6:00 mark, lifting the saw is a dicey proposition. I installed a chain hoist in my shop (after a friend and I had a painful 300+ lbs lift). Using a hoist with strapping is worth it in so many ways. Interestingly, some tools like Grizzly planers have built-in lift points. Other tools, such as SawStop, don’t have lift point. Seems to me that all tools over 300 lbs should have them.

Just subbed. I’m a mid career mechanical engineer. I watched 2 other of your videos and i was hooked. Great content. I have a wood shop I’m setting up but not a complete build out like yours. Wow. Amazing setup. Congrats. I did have a question… have an issue with ducting my dryer. The builder used a very long run and I’m trying to correct it. Do you have a recommendation of what to watch to get ideas? I get lint build up and prob some condensation issues. I live in southern California, so the thermal issues aren’t as harsh as your climate zone. Great your. Congrats.

Love the content. Should’ve taken more HVAC classes when getting my engineering degree. lol

Dude. Amazing video.

how do you soundproof noise through the vent of people talking from 1 room to another?

Thanks a ton for this video - it proved very helpful. I bought the same saw + base... and standing the saw up on the industrial base was the most challenging part. To keep the saw from sliding forward, I put some of that rubber net shelf-liner material (usually used as a non-slip sanding surface) which greatly helped keep the saw from sliding forward. Liked + subbed -- thanks again! This video help fill a void in the (usually) very clear SS instructions.

Hey Blake, how has this machine been for you? Any issues so far? How do you find the HP of the unit, do you find it underpowered? I'm ooking to purchase this one or the 16"

What sander? Festool ets ec 125 or 150... simple. A midi or some other green extractor will round out the set, and then you'll be hooked 😊

All your missing is dreadlocks to dangle in the jaws of that beast 😂

How many volts are was that outlet? Is it a regular 120 V or do you need to run a dedicated 240 V outlet

This was super fun, guys! Great job!

Great job, Blake! Subscribed

Excellent video. I couldn't help but notice that you are still pulling a vacuum for the entire system rather than a direct section. I believe this is negatively affecting your static pressure. adding a second blast gate at some wye junctions could possibly help.

Just discovering your channel. Gonna watch every video. Can’t wait for this shop build

Hey Blake thanks for this video! very well explained! Is that the Henday youre cruising on? I purchased a used 5hp collector reacently. 3600cfm 16" of water. I cannot find a fan curve for it anywhere. What would you recommend doing next to properly size my ducting? Many Thanks!

Finally someone that explains dust collection in simple engineering terms backed by calculations. Well done

Excellent video. First saw your soundproofing video and was impressed. Your shop is legittttttt.

So great so watch a video from someone who actually knows what he´s talking about. Super helpful! thank you very much Blake! liked & subscribed.

Great use of space and some amazing innovation with the soundproofing and air circulation.

Great content. I've been looking into routing my dust collector output outside the shop (rural location). I know the downside is heat loss in winter. Have you considered doing similar instead of using the cyclone/HEPA filter? I wonder if your HRV would offset the volume of expelled air by the collector, and maintain temperature?

Blake- Designing a system currently for a tiny garage shop- thanks for this video and the explanation! Bravo mate! So- its been a year- any "Update" videos and how are the sensor gates doing after some time? Subscribed and thanks again!

Blake, your dust collector just sucks.

IDK IF I CAN TRUST A GUY USING MAKITA TOOLS!

Excellent presentation. Excellent.

What are your plans for separating the HVAC etc from the shop? I really want to separate mine.. Gonna hop on your channel and look for a vid. Subscribed!

Dude, Awesome video!! You’re like wicked smart!! 👍👍👍

Great work, my only comment or issue is that you are 100% right. More pipes or hose to run through reduces the velocity and the CFM. What is missing is that if the system helps you use it and thus collect more dust then ducting is the way. That is why I want to duct my system. Right now I have a hard time getting hoses to where I want to clean up or do work. Adding duct work would allow me to use it more.
