I liked the adult beverage in the background It looks like a Yuengling, the best beer in the world
Yuengling Porter. I like darker beers when it gets cold out
On your planner, if you put in a 45 degree piece of pvc on the planner side, this will get the hose out of the way of the output side so that you are not fighting the hose every time you plane. I have the same planner and I did this and it works great.
All you need now is a big work table and a urinal. Nice job on the quick connects!
Hahaha a urinal would be amazing in the shop
It’s outside the garage door, remember…
Clever solution. I solved this in my shop by using the 4" Woodriver quick disconnect ($7.99) which has a tapered throat so it can handle variations in 4" ports.
First and foremost hope the baby and everybody is doing well , it was nice seeing the pic's when you brought her home. I really like the dust collection idea I think your right it'll make it much quicker and easier to make a change from each machine wish I'd thought of that.
When i had my shop set up, I had a main trunk line run over head, with slide ports that I could open and close, and each station had a drop to the floor with a waste gate, and each piece of equipment had a dust collection hooked up, so just a slide of the gate, and one unit was operating, and clean up was almost as easy with the floor drops and a broom! !
What was really nice, was being able to compress saw dust into small logs for burning in my stove!
Boy do I miss my shop!
I liked the simplicity of the design he implemented more until you got to the drop tube waste logs. My thinking was gate slide vs connector tug was 6 vs .5 dozen, but having the drop tube contents handy for wood filler plugs, compressed logs, etc. won me over. I see your design in my future. Now to implement a power switch that’s triggered by the gate activation… if it’s worth doing, I reckon it’s worth overdoing 😂
@@vadjrob when I entered the shop, I automatically turned on the vacuum and let it run, connected to what ever piece of equipment I used last, if I needed a different machine open another gate, and close the last one used!
Nice job Adam!
Great video and project!! I really liked how you showed the trial and error phase and didn’t edit that out!
The idea is good.
But probably a better way to do it would have been to flip the ply wood, have the magnets on the backside so they couldnt come out (rather than the gasket) And having the pvc protrude into the machine side for location would also be a good idea and prevent them being simply bumped off.
Thanks for the video
thanks for posting your videos. I know it gets frustrating when you share a project and have random people telling you that you should do it different. Simple videos like this give your audience ideas of things they can do for projects of their own. I know it slows everything down when your filming but just wanted you to know we appreciate the work you put into filming and editing. It is a lot of work for sure!
Thank you!
Thank you. Adam is a nice young man that is learning by doing. He shares the good, bad and sometimes the ugly of trying to tackle his projects.
One thing you can count on is that he shows his success and mistakes.
But thanks again for a nice comment that recognizes his efforts.
Hey Clear Vue -- Send Adam a dust extraction system.
Neighbor Doug use to help with this type of project; hope he's not still angry over the chainsaw match!
He still helped just via phone a friend this time lol
Pretty slick!
This is a cool idea
Great idea Adam! That should be a real time and frustration saver in your shop. Thanks for sharing!
Great video with a great outcome. Maybe you could cover how you built your dust collection system. See you in the next installment.
You’re getting pretty serious about your woodworking shop!
Yep. Why have a sawmill if you can’t do anything with the lumber
Neighbor Doug and you are both very smart people togetherness is assume for you both thank you for that ❤
Maybe you should put some orientation pins, then it may work also with less powerful magnets and it's easyer to center.
Good video.
It’ll definitely save me from making the same mistake with the lesser strength magnet as I’m the type who looks at the $ as well - sometimes you win & sometimes you lose, but I always learn.
Thanks for sharing !!!
That is incredibly slick! Very cool and great editing. I also you appreciate you showing the failure with the 1st attempt. We have all tried things that didn't work on the 1st attempt!
Awesome idea!
You could build a distributer and hook all the machines up to it and then just open the port to the machine you're using at the time.
Very cool diy Adam. Thanks for sharing. The garage turned out awesome and you are clearly getting settled in and filling it up with tools and materials. Wish you and your family all the best for the Holiday!
Well, that's a brilliant idea!! 🌟👍 I'm praying y'all & your precious baby are doing great. God bless y'all!! 💕🙏💕
Yep everybody is happy and healthy. Little Josie is the trap baby. She’s so darn cute and sleeps ALL the time. Barely cries. She’s going to trick us into going for a third
@@HometownAcres Ahahahaha, don't fall for it!! 😉 We had twins the second time, & one was a good sleeper, but not the other one!! God bless y'all!! 💕
I'm making this!
Very nice project! I like how you showed the challenges with the weak magnets - others would have edited that out so I appreciate your honesty. If you have problems with the magnets trying to come out you could use a 2-part 15-minute epoxy and that certainly wouldn't come out. Another tip to keep the shower pan liner dead flat would be to glue the liner to the blocks as you did, but clamp them gasket-down to a table until the caulk dries ensuring a flat surface. Keep up the great work!
One other thing. They make these awesome little fans that run off of heat induction. Sits on the fireplace. Moves the air for free!
Well done Adam...

It’s a bit more costly but the Dust Right quick change system is a great solution. Their hoses are worth the upgrade even with your current system, they expand as needed and are less hassle when not in use
Rockler makes some great products.
Adam, like the ingenuity od your quick connects. It would be great if all companies had the same size hole. Thanks for sharing this. I just got a grizzly planer, looking to add a shaper and also a jointer. You and neighbor Doug coming together with a plan making it work. Nicely done!
I love firewood and equipment stuff, but I appreciate the diversity in your content. I’m hoping to set up a nice woodworking shop in my historic timberframe barn once I finish fixing it. Flooring is 80% complete, but I still have some sill work that needs to wait until spring. And new sheathing to make it weather tight. Maybe 2 years to completion? ….. Like you our family will be expanding around March 1 which will slow things down for a while.
Cool but you should add a knob or small handle to make it even easier!
Jest give them a little twist and magnet to stay in place no problem. Great idea Buddy.
Having mobile bases on your equipment is a great idea.
Nice!
Hi Adam! I truly enjoyed this video. It was very informative.
A lot of Monday Night Montana's. Meaning a lot people telling what should been done yet they aren't in the Monday night game. Keep doing what you love and keep creating.
I use FazLock bayonet style fittings on all my DC drops and hoses..Got them from Rockler I think. You need a Jet 14" bandsaw and make a circle cutting jig for it. It will change your life!
I used n57 neodymium magnets to lock a pocket door so my kids couldn’t open it when they were toddlers. It worked great.
Slide them apart!
Check out Magport. They make these fittings from pvc in multiple hose sizes. They work great. Have them on my entire system.
Here's a suggestion - if it hasn't been made already - DON'T pull the two halves, rather, slide them side-ways and then pull apart.
WAY easier and is what I do with my rip fence extension on my table saw rip fence. I use N52 grade magnets, which are some of the strongest ones available (easily at least) plus they have a centre hole so they can be screw fixed if necessary.
Neodymium is where its at!!!!
Your video's are always done well and are very useful. Would it be possible in the future to do a video on 2 of your shop setups. (1) Your shop hot /water /sink set up and your dust collection (bruce can) setup.
For easier one hand release, you could either glue a couple wooden drawer pull knobs between magnets, or route out half circle finger recesses on the perimeter of the vacuum side plywood rings. I’d think that would allow you to pull the magnetic connections off center without dropping the hose. Grab one handed pieces with one hand and your hose with the other to increase workflow kind of thing. 😊
I wondered at first if you might be going octopus hoses and valves. I went Doug's route with the wall mounted vacuum, cyclone, and remote that attaches so you are a step head now since I've mainly been wrapping up outside projects
Thanks Adam and thanks Doug for watching over Adam
Great video. The only thing missing is a good sample trial run to see how well it works. Curious how the magnets hold up during use and if anything gets out.
I think you need to add a 90° on the planer. Keep the hose outta the way to the side. Never use the dark magnets for strength. They'll break easier to.
Adam, I enjoy your videos and often get good ideas to use myself. One thing I noticed in this one, however, is that the size and bulk of your plywood connectors looks like it will impede the wood being run through your planer. Might just be a camera angle thing, but I thought I should mention it.
The bottom of the planer quick connect is about a half in higher than the outfeed piece of material so it will be close but shouldn’t pose a problem
I thought I saw some of Neighbor Doug's influences in the video. I'm not going to lie. At first, I thought he's spending a lot of time any money just to save 20 seconds. Then you showed how quick you can change from one tool to the next. You won me over in the end.
Adam, that soluton was ingenious. Also, when you did the baby seat demo, it occured to me that you may be watching the guy on 'project farm' too much, just sayin :-)
I actually don’t think I’ve ever seen project farm. I’ll have to check it out.
@@HometownAcres Yes please do, he has 2.7M subscribers, does some amazing comparisons or several different manufactures for a product or tool He has saved me a few bucks.
You will love Project Farm. Great channel and so much to learn about what tools are beat, etc
cool
👍👍
Clever
Should put a 45 or 90 on the planer in case your piece hits it
Cool video. I was gonna say how many times did you call Doug lol.. I think a little twist when taking off would help too
Nice idea, but you could have added a 3-way coupler to collector end and had a hose for each unit and maybe saved some money. Just a thought! Stay safe.
But then you’re cluttering up your shop with large hoses that get in the way and you’re liable to trip over them.
Just add a "Y" and a blast gate on the jointer and the planer.....never have to disconnect/reconnect hoses again! I ran the solid pipe at the ceiling and then drop down with flex to each machine....keeps everything out of the way and then you don't have to play with hoses!
Adam, you need to be careful as I see a little of neighbor Doug's ingenuity rubbing off on you. Oops, you just mentioned that you had consulted with him. Great idea.
It's rewarding to see an accountant screwed over by his own nature. Glad it wasn't too harsh of a screw up though, you are a great person for an accountant. You generally break the out of the stereotype and you have a great channel to follow.
I would watch your hand placement on the table saw, seemed like you were safe but the next time you do that and make a minor mistake that blade/wood can draw your fingers into the blade. Little pieces are just a bad idea to cut on a table saw in that way.
Thank you!
Love the video, but have you thought about running dedicated hoses and blast gates at the dust separator? This would prevent you from having to move hoses and since its close enough, you could open/close blast gates as you're moving from machine to machine, then you can have more permanent hoses fixtured to the machines and help improve dust collection/airflow. Great content, love the channel!
I have but with just one hose my shop is very mobile and changeable. Once I start adding multiple dedicated hoses then the pieces of equipment start becoming more permanent as their ductwork is more permanent. I like the flexibility that 1 hose with quick connect couplers gives me
Dust collection on planner is in the way of out feed.
OMG call Oneida and order a cyclone. They will help you design the system. Love my super dust gorilla
Looks like Neighbor Doug is rubbing off on you there...
There’s got to be a better way!
I quite agree. I think, instead of using magnets, the two wood faces could have just been clamped together with two quick release clamps. It would've taken just a few seconds to clamp and unclamp them.
That's funny, neighbor Doug.
I believe you are being tongue in cheek with your comment.
Ed from Chicago 🙂
You and the neighbor need to get a 3d printer. They are awesome. Worth it. Especially for this idea
Neighbour Doug “ Hold my beer” 🤣
👍🏻
Looks like you caught the Doug neighbor " MacGyver" infection.!
Hi Adam, this was a great idea! Is the adapter on the planer going to get ripped off by the wood as it comes out? Just curious if it’s an optical illusion or if it would potentially hit. I’m going to try and do something similar. I have the same problem switching hoses all the time.
What up Adam
Adam …Alex plus is not an adhesive…not if, but when this fails I’d use epoxy
Better call Doug 😝
If you have a problem with them pulling out you can get a glue called star bond with it and the accelerator they will stay in place just be careful bc it sets up in like 10 secs once you spray the accelerator on the glue so try and not get it on your fingers or hands...
DIY algorithm
Adam, Is there a clearance issue on the planer? Looks like the out feed could be close to the bottom of your wood connector. Just saw it quickly in the video at 12:44. Something to think about… Hope it works out well for you. Enjoy your day Around the Yard! - Brent
It is close however I think I should be alright.
Patent it?
It seems like you could have screwed sheet metal to your tool side couplers and reduced magnet costs by 3/4
Why not use "Y" connection tubes to keep them consistantly attached to each piece of machinery?
Looks like he has a 1hp dust collector , usually those are pretty limited with the amount of hose you can add. Usually need at least 2hp to add multiple lines , then then have blast gates at each tool
It is actually a 2hp dust collector from harbor freight
Twist the parts off, don't pull!
Hey honey, since the baby is crying- I'll be out in my man-cave. I think the jeep needs a new coat of paint.
don't bother trying to find dust collection adaptors that will work with different machines. Check out Furnco plumbing adaptors at HomeyD etc. They will connect anything to anything and are cheap
I guess I’m not welcomed back today. 😤
Something I have noticed in your projects like this is that you instead of engineering something to a higher/heavier usage level you design it for slightly more than adequately. You are counting pennies in an attempt to save dollars. In the end you end up spending money for better equipment for use in your projects whether it is rolling casters for your wood containment bins or these magnets that are integral to maintaining the hose connections. Stop going on the cheap guy it is costing you in dollars and time and energy. Stop being a comptroller on a project and start being a good engineer instead. You are depending on these things you are creating make them dependable.
Can’t help it. I’m an accountant not an engineer. Try as I might
