There a plenty of cool maker channels on YT, that are worth watching, but your vids are outstandingly interesting and entertaining at the same time. I smile, learn, admire and really enjoy every second! Keep going mate!!!
What a cool fume extractor! The umbrella makes it that much more interesting! Everytime i watch one of your video's your videography skills surprise me in a cool way! Love your work!
Very cool idea with the umbrella, I'm going to use that with mine. Probably a way smaller one though so I can put it closer to my work. Thanks, alot of good ideas!
How did I miss this? This is awesome, and makes me long for a higher ceiling once more. I might just get inspired by the idea with the umbrella, though. Thanks for sharing!
make the flexible hose on the joint as short as it can be. I'm working in air conditioner installations at the moment and I can tell you the most important thing is to have the straightest and smoothest path possible. Flexiduct has a bunch of ripples that slow the air and it means your motor is working harder than it needs to
Oh my God ! Pero que pedazo de máquina que eres tío! Y yo comprando extractores para el humo de la soldadura con los paraguas que tengo en mi casa... 😓😓 Espectacular vídeo Un abrazo compañero!
Great video! Add a good (self made?) shopvac and I could see this system turning out into a workshop dust collection/fume extraction system. Just add some pipes to your ceiling and you're'done!
Very cool. This could probably be modified to become a dust collector too? Looks like your shop has grown a lot in recent videos! Also looks like you have a slight drill press obsession ;)
Hey bro I’m going to first say that was really slick. I thank you for the idea and the design layout. Also great video. Well edited and easy to watch. You have good camera personality. Here’s my suggestion if you haven’t already thought of it or someone hasn’t already made the same suggestion. If you put a hook on the end of each arm of the umbrellas spine, and cut a length of fire blanket, with a few eye bolts to match up with each hook, you could even just cut strips and hang them as needed. I think it would increase the containment of the contaminates and also act as a shield to protect a passerby if you were grinding etc.. Just an idea for your idea. Great job and I will keep watching your videos so keep making them... Understood? 🧐 Lol
Truly awesome build! Amazing concept, and resourcefulness in adapting the oversized pipes. That engraving CNC thing is slick, what is it? I really enjoyed the video, you gained a subscriber, your humor lightens the mundane hangtime during cuts and such. Your editing was spot on with thorough explanation. Thanks for the ideas!
Another brilliant video. I think you may have inspired me to do a diy Radon mitigation fan for my basement....the companies in my area charge $2K CAD to install
Me ha encantado el estuche de brocas de precisión, tiene mogollón de medidas!! Podrías indicarme donde conseguirlo? Me he vuelto loco por Amazon pero no lo encuentro
Gracias tio!! pues las brocas son de krino.it. En amazon este set es verdad que no está. les he mandado un mail para preguntar a ver cómo se pueden conseguir! :)
MUCHÍSIMAS GRACIAS!!! llevo muuucho tiempo queriendo un estuche de esos, lo malo es que si se te parte la broca de 6,2mm que cojones hago? JAJAJAJAJAJAJ
I know it has been quite a while since post, but if you (or other viewers) see this: how well do these motors handle intake resistance (in terms of (over)heating)? I want to build a fume extractor for soldering work, but do not have easy access to venting outside - I have a one room home so it will be used where I eat and sleep too. So it needs a proper, fairly bigboy hepa filter and carbon filter. But that, along with 1.5-2 meter 60mm hose will create significant airflow restriction, and I'm wondering if that will likely be ok or if it's very likely doomed to burn out the engine. A vacuum cleaner motor is maybe a bit overkill for such use (decent commercial single-port units seem to be ~185-250 watt), but the only other "suitable" fan-motors I find for cheap are 50-100 ish watts and not designed for any airflow impedance, just unrestricted flow.
Vacuum cleaner motors handle very well the back pressure as they are designed for that. In this application, while the pressure is not an issue at all, I actually miss a bit more airflow, that's the downside of these motors. Normal extractors with less power are meant to move a higher air flow at lower pressure drop. This one is quite the opposite but does the job anyway. This motor is about 1.5 kw I'd say. Hope it works! I have 6m of piping (125mm diameter) and I just installed the mesh filter you see on the video. Cheers
@@Cactusworkshopchannel Thank you so much for your rapid and detailed response. I imagine for my use, tons of airflow isn't very important, unless I misunderstand completely. At my job I was working with a Weller Zero Smog EL (Kit 1). And while it did a good job filtering, it's way out of my personal budget for home use. But more frustratingly, being 120 watts, for it to actually catch just _most_ of the smoke and fumes coming off my workpiece, its funnel had to be *at most (!) 15 cm away. Ideally max 10 cm. That is extremely frustrating and problematic when doing soldering and microsoldering work under a microscope with hot precision tools. And with the nature of this work in a microscope, it's important to get as much of the fumes as possible, because my head is stuck 30-40 cm right above the work piece for the entire duration. It also means, thogh the fume source is a fairly small point, the fume extractor funnel has to be off to the side of the source, it can't be above it. Heck with the Weller unit, if the PCB I'm working on is any bigger than roughly 25x25cm, then the fume extractor funnel _has_ to even sit/lay on top of the PCB, rubbing and knocking around on components. I was kinds hoping I might with a vacuum cleaner motor, big surface filters and a relatively narrow tube (60mm), at least get the funnel 25-30cm away from the fume source.
It's always so entertaining to watch your videos man, since I've met you, I know how original your videos are... seems a bit like hanging out with you :D Anyways, very cool video, great cuts and edit! Also: great project! :)
Great work. I have a old vacume motor like that I may have to put it to good use. I will wait into I get my x carve to make the control Box and funnel 😜
No disrespect here but there are some great reasons that engineers design items like this! That flow through Vac motor sucks a lot more power then air in this miss application. I would guess right around 1500 Watts to move less then 100 CFM with huge unrealized pressures. At lower pressure you could move 100 CFM with a 60 watt motor or you could move 300 to 500 CFM out of a 500 Watt pressure blower that might be in the range of 2" of water lift. A vacuum motor will easily pull 90 to 150 inches of water up a 2" pipe. This is like using a bottle jack to lift a square foot of styrofoam, there will be a lot of extra pumping! Fume extractors and the hood or pickup bells are designed altogether to match the CFM and low pressure blowers. The intention is to pull it in close to the work and draw it in before it passes around your face and helmet. You could not accomplish this at 100 CFM unless it was extremely close to the fume source. Take a cigarette and the average household vacuum and see how close you have to get before the smoke will vector to the suction? The commercial built units you might fine in a backyard shop are in the range of 400 to 800 CFM. I get that this is what you had, but that does not make it worthy I would not try to adapt 2 in wheels to a lawnmower so I don't see the point of this missed design. Had you done this with an old electric leaf blower you would have a much more useful design as this is also a cheep common air mover but its specs will match this task about a 100 times better.
Brilliant job but apart from the massive extra amount of work it must have cost far more them my off the shelf duct fan complete with housing and flexible pipe. Oddly satisfying though.
There a plenty of cool maker channels on YT, that are worth watching, but your vids are outstandingly interesting and entertaining at the same time. I smile, learn, admire and really enjoy every second! Keep going mate!!!
Thnks for the nice words Andreas! boost of motivation :)
Andreas P i could not agree any more. Well put that man.
Thanks Jamie!
carlos! you are a genius. an aviation engineer could not do it better. a video of the extra class. ON AIR 👍
hahaha Thanks man!! :DD
Excellent job. Very well thought out design, and extremely well finished.
I’m exhausted thinking about finding all the parts and pieces that fit so nicely. You are brilliant.
Get it? Exhausted 😂
lol thank god you explained it. I was a bit confused. It's late I guess :D hahah
I think it looks PDG and the idea of the umbrella is inspired. Great work. Thanks. Cheers, David.
thank you very much!
I admire the precision and craftsmanship that you put into your videos. Great work!
Thanks!
Wow!! Excellent work all round, the extractor and the video! Love the umbrella! :)
Thanks man!:) appreciate it!
Eres un crack, me encanta la idea del extractor! pero, lo del paraguas y su alojamiento, es simplemente perfecto
Nice! Like how the umbrella even stores away
+mike gager thanks Mike!
I really like the thinking behind this design and appreciate the quality of the video. Thanks
+AKA Nathan thank you very much!
What a cool fume extractor! The umbrella makes it that much more interesting! Everytime i watch one of your video's your videography skills surprise me in a cool way! Love your work!
Thank you!! :)
This is not at all the result I was expecting. That extractor turned out beautiful !
+ROTAXD Haha thanks!
A great piece of design and build. Elegant beautiful and well crafted.
Thanks Glen!! :)
Well done! I like the umbrella idea a lot. You should definitely write an Instructable about this project!
THanks Alex!! I was considering but now I guess I have to! :)
Magnífico trabajo. Un extractor que deberíamos tener mas de uno en nuestro taller, gracias por la idea. Un saludo
Grrrrrracias compi! :)
Impresionante! Menuda currada te has pegado. Tus vídeos siempre son distintos de los demás youtubers. Eres una máquina!!
+Alberto Martínez gracias Alberto!
That was so much fun to watch. Your structural visualisation is amazing!
Thanks man!!
That was an elegant solution, beautiful! thank you for showing how it's done!
Thanks!!
I really like the bungee cord contraption. Smart! You make really great videos! Thanks!
Thank you very much!!
That’s really nice. Maybe more complex than I’m willing to go. I need to get it done.
Extra thumbs up. Great idea and execution throughout.
Thanks Robert! :))
I like the way you use commonly available objects into your build... nice job :D
Thanks Olivier!! good for the wallet :D
If „Thinking outside the box“ was a video, this would be it. Great build!!
Thanks a lot!!
I like your problem solving. Well done,Sir!
+Design Defects thank you Mr D.defects! :P
Kick ass mate, new workshops coming on nicely!
thank you very much!
Great idea. I need a fume extractor for when I use my everlast welder indoors
That is such a great idea, I love how you used the bungeecord to let the whole contraption fold up, I need to rip that of some day!
thanks man!! :) sure go for it!
Very cool idea with the umbrella, I'm going to use that with mine. Probably a way smaller one though so I can put it closer to my work. Thanks, alot of good ideas!
😁😁
Great job! Loved the creative use of materials!
Thanks Greg!
This is incredible mate! Can't believe how professional it looks, like you bought the kit from a store. Well done!
Thanks Robin! :D
The wooden cyclone is amazing! 😍
+Woodworking Engineering thanks!!
Great idea man. The vacum, the umbrella and the whole set up with pipes! 💪
Thanks man!! :)
At every stage I thought: "That's not going to work well" before immediately changing my mind to "no, that's a genius idea!". What a great project!
hahah thnaks!! glad you got a few plot twists!
How did I miss this? This is awesome, and makes me long for a higher ceiling once more. I might just get inspired by the idea with the umbrella, though. Thanks for sharing!
+Be Inspired with Dominic thanks!! :)
Really well done.
That is quiet brilliant. Might want to use less polyester and more fiberglass cloth.
make the flexible hose on the joint as short as it can be. I'm working in air conditioner installations at the moment and I can tell you the most important thing is to have the straightest and smoothest path possible. Flexiduct has a bunch of ripples that slow the air and it means your motor is working harder than it needs to
yeah! thanks! I'm aware, I'll shorten it as much as possible!
Super cool ideas! Great video!
+Anders Carlsson thanks anders!
Man, great video all around. Very envious of how large your space is!
Thanks!
Wow Great video Carlos !!!!
+Houtje Boom - Be Creative thanks!!
nice work, I like the way you think!
Thanks!!
Buenísimo amigo, enhorabuena 😉👍
+F1JOAQUIN gracias joaquinnnnnnn un gusto verte por aquí!
Ciao Carlos😃😃😃😃😃 another great work
+Makers at Work ciao Giuseppe!! Grazie!
Nice idea. Try adding a work light in the umbrella center. As the black umbrella can obstruct and cause poor lighting.
Thanks! I had considered but it's hard given that the umbrella folds up, the side lights are doing a decent job so far :)
nice job....
i like very much your videos...you make yourself look clumsy but you are very cleaver..
keep going
Thanks! :)
Eres un verdadero genio! Me encanta tu trabajo pero este es excepcional!!!!!
+Maria V gracias!!
That umbrella is really funny!
+LReBe7 Haha thanks!
Oh my God !
Pero que pedazo de máquina que eres tío!
Y yo comprando extractores para el humo de la soldadura con los paraguas que tengo en mi casa... 😓😓
Espectacular vídeo
Un abrazo compañero!
+METAL MUNDO jajaj jjajajaja gracias!!
Super ingenious 😱😱😱
:DDD
You are amazing :) I really like your creativity, work and editing style!
Thank you very much! :)
This video was great in every way. Good on ya mate
Thank you!! :)
Impresionado me hallo...
Sencillo y eficiente...
Gracias!!
Great video! Add a good (self made?) shopvac and I could see this system turning out into a workshop dust collection/fume extraction system. Just add some pipes to your ceiling and you're'done!
Thanks Floris! yeah, that's been in my mind for a while but I haven't needed that yet. I'll get to it!!
Excellent! The very embodiment of DYI, if you ask me. :)
Thanks Martin! :D
very cool, lots of cool techniques, man !
Thanks for the inspiration
Keep on trucking (from France) !
Thanks a lot!! Au revoir!
Absolutely brilliant! Fun build project and awesome video! You deserve way more subs...
Thanks a lot! :))
Very cool. This could probably be modified to become a dust collector too? Looks like your shop has grown a lot in recent videos! Also looks like you have a slight drill press obsession ;)
Thanks Phil!! yeah! it's getting there :) and yeah, you got me man! hahah
Umbrella contraption in pipe with bungee cord is genius.
Thanks!!!
Nicely don man, great job and very clear explanation!
thanks!!
Superb job! Very impressive
thanks!!
this is a high engineering idea !!!great!)
Thank you!
It is absolutely awesome job!!
thank you!
Dude, your videos rocks, but this one is one of your best. Very cool build too.
Thanks hugo!!

Очень качественно! Молодец, идея отличная!
Thanks!!
Nice work man!
+Scrap wood City thanks man!!
Fantastic job!
+Mark Simpson thanks!!
Well designed and built, however I feel like using a synthetic fibre item like an umbrella is not the best choice where sparks are flying around.
This is great, love the idea!
Thank you!!
It's always so entertaining to watch your videos man, since I've met you, I know how original your videos are... seems a bit like hanging out with you :D

brutal amigo, estás cosas son las q molan ver
Gracias edu!
8:42 outside tampoco tiene pinta xD
super fan 🙌🏼
jajajajaj
You read my mind. I was thinking today i wonder when the next video is coming. Haha. Thanks and great build.
haha well there you go! :D thank you!
Nice! I'm still using a fan!
Thanks Will!! how was your trip to europe? :)
It was great! It's always fun in Europe! Not sure when I'll be back again. We're talking about a trip to Greece sometime in the future.
+Wm. Walker Co. That's a must!
Well thought out :) Very nice ॐ
Thank you!!
Great work. I have a old vacume motor like that I may have to put it to good use. I will wait into I get my x carve to make the control Box and funnel 😜

Omg! Best part was the box on the wall! F.. Great!
Dude you’re smart. I need to find an easier way because I don’t have all that technology
Brilliant job but apart from the massive extra amount of work it must have cost far more them my off the shelf duct fan complete with housing and flexible pipe. Oddly satisfying though.
4:04 that is very safe 🤣🤣😭😭
I also tightened my butt
