@@ThekiBoran I have a base for the job. The router (laminate trimmer) screws travel in recessed grooves. Loosen, adjust using digital caliper, tighten, cut circles. It can make quite small ones, 100 mm or so, and larger ones depending on the length of the base. I don't normally take the base off.
Can you explain why a manufacturer doesn't make a shop vacuum with a cyclone technology on it? It would require them to simply add a single 90 degree fitting inside the tank so the air swirls inside the tank, but they intentionally point the fitting straight down to create maximum turbulence and shittiness. It makes no sense.
This is by far the best DIY dust collector I’ve seen. Combining the shop vac and dust collector bucket all in one unit is fantastic. This is now my next shop project (I am still dragging around a vac and separate dust bucket = hose tripping hazard). Thanks a lot for sharing. 👍😎🇦🇺
Great video! There is nothing wrong with derivative work and it was great to see you use the tools and material on hand to make a functional addition to your shop. The cherry on top was the bin fitting in the Ryobi base. Well done, sir!
I watched many DIY separator videos, but this by far cought my eye. I like the fact that it's one piece and don't have to drag the shop vac and can around. So went and made one, let me tell you the thing WORKS. What a great vid. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome video. I like to see people working in a basic shop and how they improvise with equipment they have. So much more interesting than watching some one with the latest and greatest equipment. It shows real woodworking skills.
Your circular work on the table saw and use of a hole saw to sand a bit off the inside if a hole are new to me and seem like well, I hesitate to say genius, but very clever and effective. At 8:55 you struck a truly universal note.Thumbs up and thank you!
I was literally watching other videos like why don’t they just use a bin and then after searching up bins to build my own this pops up 😂 what a world, well done mate !
I saw a similar technique on another video once, and made myself a dedicated tablesaw circle cutter jig. has a sliding pin for easily adjusting the radius, and holes every half inch for pre measured sizes. So handy. Just wish there was a better way for cutting the inside diameter. have a similar jig for my router table, but it burns through bits, few cuts and its time to sharpen again.
Excellent on the lip with the table saw! No fancy stuff... (THATS FANCY!!) I used a router to make a rebate. But liked that method! Get your self two grinders, cheap ones they last. One for a flap disk another with a cutoff wheel.. (Or one for both) you won't look back !!! A dust collector must filter 5 microns or better out a window. Many shops look clean as a whistle but the floating particles are what dead you, not a clean shop. I don't use a filter, it goes out the wall. Like your build!!!
I must have looked at 30 dust cart build videos over the last few days and I have to say that yours blows them all away ! If Dyson decided to get into the workshop buisness I'm pretty sure they'd steal your design to pimp their machines. I have a cheap Titan vac which is almost identical to your Ryobi and I'll be building one of these bad boys just as soon as the Coronavirus social distancing restrictions are lifted (if that ever happens ;) Many thanks.
@@TheOffcut Update: I finally got round to building my own using your design. The bin I used turned out to be too flimsy and collapsed in on itself as soon as I turned it on (ain't atmospheric pressure a bitch ;) so I had to give it an internal plywood ribcage which fixed the problem. What really surprised me is that the suction through the hose is definately more powerful than it was before the build. Don't understand how, perhaps because the vacuum developed is of a much greater volume ? I'm also finding that the height added to the controls and hose attachment make it much more ergonomical to pull around my workshop, which means I'm much more likely to use it more often to keep the dust and sawdust levels down. So thanks again and keep designing :)
@@shaunl452 Thats great to hear! Glad you were able to fix the bin collapsing problem. My bin must be pretty sturdy as I only get that problem if I accidentally block the hose. I agree that with the higher height making it easier to turn off and on so I am more likely to use it. Hope it serves you well!
Holy Shit...when i grow up i hope i am half as good as you are doing this... this is simply beyond brilliant...there is no way i could make this...just brilliant! Loosing sleep now wishing i had one this nice an ingenious that i made myself....cant say enough so i will stop here👍
Honestly, it's the music and no commentary! I love that format! Plus that build video just also happens to show an awesome upgrade that Ryobi themselves should market. @@TheOffcut
Soooooooo...I just subscribed to Matthias Wandel not long ago because I keep seeing his name pop up on other makers' videos. This video was in my suggestions as I was looking at DIY cyclone dust collectors. Imagine my surprise when I read your description and saw Matthias' name in there. This is an excellent design and will be my next project for sure. Oh yeah, your subscription counter is now +1 too. I'm a truck driver and don't have much time in my humble shop just yet, but I do have lots of time to watch TH-cam videos, so your playlist is my next binge session. 😉
I have my shop vac permanently in one corner then an extension hose runs up the wall and across the ceiling to the center of the workshop. What's left is then long enough to reach all four corners of the workshop. Basically a central vac system . Great build man :)
Enjoyed the neat clean build but loved the sigh at the end AND the shop vac dolly fitted the bin base!!! Best small footprint build on the net. Tried to imagine wandering around hardware store with an opened box holding the shop vac and trying to size the shop vac base to the bins....without getting thrown out the store!!! And then I read in the comments that you just jagged it.... !!!! Been watching yr tool and skill progression and your just going ahead by leaps and bounds. Cmon tool manufacturers.....give this guy a break...he's out there encouraging and inspiring us to buy stuff (to cut in half because the manufacturers still can't hear after 20 yrs of cyclone development that we want a small cyclonic woodshop vac for under $60....then we can buy 3-5 of them to use everywhere throughout the shop) so that we can buy more tools for the tool merry-go-round .... Thanks for going to the effort too of filming, editing and overlaying a soundtrack. Loved the incongruity of 70's nightclub lounge lizard musak with getting the job done in the workshop.... Now I'd better get one with building something (anything!) so I can get closer to having my own "sigh moment"!!
Haha thanks for the love! When I bought the bin I did have the idea of using the dolly from the vac to use for the bin and kept the size in mind but I didn't expect it to fit as well as it did.
The ingenuity of using a table saw to cut a circle really got me! I always feel like the inlet is too close to the exhaust. With this it at least separates the two for better collection of those fine dust particles
This video is a great example of knowledge is power. I watched you use a bunch of basic tools that most woodworkers have to make things that many people have designed "shortcut" tools for. Very cool video. Liked and subscribed.
Great to see you using all the safety gear you should. I think this is the best "safety" video ever! Keep using them, you only get one set of body parts that are original! Replacement parts don't always work and cost a WHOLE LOT!! Great video otherwise too. Loved the editing!
Terrific work! Great design and great execution. I love it. I have been thinking of something like this for months, but somewhat smaller. Made one with a Buckethead wet/dry vac atop a two-bucket cyclone for the miter saw. It’s compact, but seems under powered. Currently going a different direction, with a small, second hand household vacuum accompanied by a relatively small cyclone, for overhead dust collection on the table saw (with a shopvac and its cyclone connected to the standard dust port). Again, great work. Keep it up!
My first set up was hard to empty and underpowered. Since it fell apart in the move i want to do it right. I now have a 2nd shopvac and want to connect them for more power but not take up half my garage. Since only 1 will have the final filter, i may cut a bucket in half, stick inside itself for the smallest possible container for 2 vacs. Ive got a lot going on eith my plan, half his tools and a quarter of his ability. How did yours turn out?
@@nateb4543 Well, if the truth be told, I never really got there. A lot going on around here, remodeling, a wedding, a move, grandchildren, a hip replacement and much more. Although I really liked the integration of the shopvac & dust separator, in terms of appearance and size, I eventually came to understand that there is good reason for keeping them separate. The dust separator of the integrated unit captures mainly chips, and the shopvac filter captures mainly dust. However, a system with separate dust separator and shopvac adds another important layer - the filter bag in the shopvac helps to clean MORE dust from the air stream, so the main filter lasts longer, and the system captures more dust overall. Still rearranging my garage shop, wood storage, new tools, etc. to have space and functionality. It’s not a destination, it’s a process. Best wishes!
Very cool and looks great too much like the one that I built but my shop vac is on the bottom with the hose going from the vac to the dust collector then a pick up hose from the collector. A testament to “what ever works” very cleverly done 👍👍
Good job and great video. I always enjoy watching what can be made by people working in a basic shop. I am fortunate to have more/better equipment, but I don't think I could do better.
Awesome! Loved your thought process. I especially liked the technique you employed on the cut off sled to turn your disc's. Going to use that idea on future projects. 👍
Just completed my own using a "Shop-Vac" from Home Depot...works great. Thanks for the Video. by the way using a 2" pvc pipe will work with the standard shop vac hoses. Just got to modify the pipe. using a heat gun, NOT a torch heat till pipes becomes soft, then jam the wand into the pipe and rotate till it cools. WA-LA....a perfect fit for your hose. Again thanks.
Go to 10:00 to see the finished product. Wow, such a good job on the accuracy and precision of all the cuts, and parts. I can't believe how much quality you put into this, it looks like it would take weeks to complete? It seems like every single part has razor tight accuracy, that had to have taken a really, really long time? Or maybe you had a lot of practice building these, because I feel like it would take me literally 3 weeks to build this with that level of precision. Why do vacuum canisters not have a cyclone on them? In the year 2023, why do we have to take an old bucket, and make our own vacuum cleaner for sawdust. We have alien technology in our cell phone, and they can't even sell us a working vacuum? Something doesn't add up.
I was just thinking of how to do this last week with my old craftsman. Was thinking, why make a separator when i have a perfectly good cylinder from the old can. You have saved me a lot of planning. Thanks.
good fun mate ! just a safety tip ( from a 35 year woodworker)... use push sticks on the table saw, that pile of offcuts is trouble waiting to happen. My friend cut his thumb off last week going for waste on his table saw...
From a few seconds in I was seeing little things that made me think you were in NZ, then I saw the Fortress screws and I knew it! Really great job, i'm tempted to copy it exactly.
If that can is as tough as the Brute ;you'll have no problem. It really doesn't take much vacuum with a single use collection system like that. My 6hp Rigid is over kill for single use as dust collection. Good build.
Nice build! If you put 3 or 4 plywood support rings in the garbage can, it won't crumple when you block the vac hose. I was crumpling 5 gallon buckets until I added a support ring. At around 300 lbs per square foot it's hard to make large containers work without using a lot of supports and/or adding a bypass valve to keep the vacuum from getting of the buckling pressure.
That Ryobi vac has a bypass built into it for when the container is full or blocked line but I'd say the pressure may still be to much on a plastic bin to activate it first before crushing the bin. I'm going to do something similar to this as I have two of those vacs and tbh for $80 Aus they are brilliant!
Definitely needs a plywood frame in the bin otherwise it will crumble. Install two rings set about 150mm from base and about the same from the top. Crumbled the bin before the rings and had to make a repair to the bin but once i installed the rings no problem.I used my record dx1000 which came with a metal frame to attach to the wall. Used the attachment to make the top part of the vacuum. Its 16 years old and never had a new filter and the bag was falling apart. Overall works fine but only time will tell if it lasts the test of time.
Great table saw hack. To much work. I took a 55 gal metal drum with a removable lid and clamp. Cut two holes one for vac and other for planer or other tools. Works great. Not as pretty as your but works. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Bello il video, realizzato bene ! Io anche ho provato a realizzarne uno, l'unica differenza sta nel fatto che io ho provato a farlo in modo che insacchetti già ciò che raccoglie ! Complimenti comunque! Mi piace e iscritto !!
I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
WTF????? What has fishing got to do with making a shop dust vac??? And why would you let them go, ya' cruel bastard???? You're supposed to fish so you can eat them. Otherwise you're just being cruel!!!!
Beautiful, compact, efficient. I mean, if you are willing to cut the bottom off your shop-vac, then it is easy isn't it? LOL The quick show of relief after doing that is precious! I would probably cut the circles on my bandsaw and laminate the two sized pieces together. Great job and thanks for making this video!
Awesome!! Good skills...I like the quality, flipping the board and finishing the hole from the other side!! I need a dust collector for my new sandblasting cabinet, I have an extra shop vac so this is perfect!! Thanks Bro!!

Check out Peter Parfitt. He shows an easy way to cut circles with a router and scrap wood and maybe a nail. I use a finish nail.

I like how he used the wheels from the shop vac on the bottom of the bin to make it mobile. Top notch thinking.

The level of planning is so impressive. I can't stay focussed long enough for that. Nicely done.

Respect my friend. I would have liked to make a cone inside to get a stronger cyclone and thus better separation. Much like a Dyson.
From a few seconds in I was seeing little things that made me think you were in NZ, then I saw the Fortress screws and I knew it! Really great job, i'm tempted to copy it exactly.
Haha wow good eye! I don't even know where in the video you can see the fortress screw label haha. And thanks!
Jason Bye, do it, you'll love it!
I guessed either Australia or NZ from the tools (I have many of the same tools).
great footprint! great use of the wheels from the original vac too!
Great idea. I have been thinking how to make mine take up less floor space, I think this is it!
This is fantastic! I love the design, and I think I'm going to try to copy it with my shop vac. Thank you!
If that can is as tough as the Brute ;you'll have no problem. It really doesn't take much vacuum with a single use collection system like that. My 6hp Rigid is over kill for single use as dust collection. Good build.
Nice build. Nice use of the table saw and sled.
Nice build!
If you put 3 or 4 plywood support rings in the garbage can, it won't crumple when you block the vac hose.
I was crumpling 5 gallon buckets until I added a support ring. At around 300 lbs per square foot it's hard to make large containers work without using a lot of supports and/or adding a bypass valve to keep the vacuum from getting of the buckling pressure.
How would you go about adding a bypass valve to it? I recently built my own version of this and the trashcan is crumbling.
Lawrence Wampler II spring loaded emergency one way air inlet to trashcan, depending on spring size is resistance needed for vent to open, *an idea
Why not just use a steel barrel, or a thick-walled plastic one? I'm sure they're not that hard to find.
That Ryobi vac has a bypass built into it for when the container is full or blocked line but I'd say the pressure may still be to much on a plastic bin to activate it first before crushing the bin. I'm going to do something similar to this as I have two of those vacs and tbh for $80 Aus they are brilliant!
Definitely needs a plywood frame in the bin otherwise it will crumble. Install two rings set about 150mm from base and about the same from the top. Crumbled the bin before the rings and had to make a repair to the bin but once i installed the rings no problem.I used my record dx1000 which came with a metal frame to attach to the wall. Used the attachment to make the top part of the vacuum. Its 16 years old and never had a new filter and the bag was falling apart. Overall works fine but only time will tell if it lasts the test of time.
good video
Had you thought of Not cutting the bottom off the vac bucket, and drilling a hole through the bottom ??
this is a fantastic and smart design! It you think about the volume ratio, when you have cyclone, why not reduce the volume of the dry vac itself.
Thanks!
Fricking cool! Nice build and cool design!
Thanks!
Great table saw hack. To much work. I took a 55 gal metal drum with a removable lid and clamp. Cut two holes one for vac and other for planer or other tools. Works great. Not as pretty as your but works. Keep up the good work and be safe.
Great finished product. Everyone should have one of these - such a time saver and health saver. I need to make one as well.......
Thanks for posting
That is the coolest one I've seen! Thanks for the idea and the video, I'm going to do something just like that!
Great job. Love that circle cutting technique
I've always wondered why other makers do a 2 part vac and cyclone, nice job!
THAT IS GENIUS ! ! ! BRILLIANT ! ! ! Absolutely what I've been looking for! One-Stop Vac Shop! Can you make the plans available again? THANKS!
Really well done and unusual but clever use of the tools you have at hand.
Bello il video, realizzato bene ! Io anche ho provato a realizzarne uno, l'unica differenza sta nel fatto che io ho provato a farlo in modo che insacchetti già ciò che raccoglie ! Complimenti comunque! Mi piace e iscritto !!
You should take a bow! Best one I've seen yet.
Best design I have seen. KUDOS!
I've got an old Dyson kicking around and you've got me thinking about if I can mod that for dust extraction!
haha I did that too before I made this one. You can check out the video th-cam.com/video/OsHDPMDkpPE/w-d-xo.html
Genius modification I would say 👌🏼 kind regards from 🇬🇧 uk
Bravo bravo bravo, complimenti, veramente un bel lavoro 👍🏻
Estupendo brico, un trabajo muy profesional, gracias por compartirlo con todos los bricoleros , un saludo muy grande desde España ( Valencia)
I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
WTF????? What has fishing got to do with making a shop dust vac??? And why would you let them go, ya' cruel bastard???? You're supposed to fish so you can eat them. Otherwise you're just being cruel!!!!
Beautiful, compact, efficient. I mean, if you are willing to cut the bottom off your shop-vac, then it is easy isn't it? LOL The quick show of relief after doing that is precious!
I would probably cut the circles on my bandsaw and laminate the two sized pieces together.
Great job and thanks for making this video!
Haven’t seen a baffle done like that before. Nice work!
I have seen many videos...this is the BEST idea! 👏
I abs love shop work in fast forward.. esp sanding... the sound is supremely satisfying... lol nice work on the canister!
Well done. That was a clever design and a clean&nice excution
Awesome video and great work. I love the way you used the table saw.
Bloody on ya for the effort with the old hacksaw. Good to see a little hard work n just making it happen!
Excellent work. Very impressive. You deserve a great big pat o your back!
Perfect dust collection from existing or surplus stuff.
With the popularity of this style of shop vac modifications, one would think the makers would catch on and start making them in this fashion
Awesome!! Good skills...I like the quality, flipping the board and finishing the hole from the other side!! I need a dust collector for my new sandblasting cabinet, I have an extra shop vac so this is perfect!! Thanks Bro!!
GREAT video & design, best on TH-cam I've seen! Like how you don't need a cart and how compact it is.
That’s a great idea and you are very clever. I’m going to make one of these for myself. Thank you for sharing.
Very good project. I checked the vac, but it is not available from US retailer. I will probably cheap out and use a smaller one.
LA MEJOR VERSION QUE VI DE ASPIRADOR! SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA.
That's a lot of work for something that's probably just going to sit there collecting dust...
I see what you did there
Nice... clever

He works faster than I do
Very nice build, thank you for sharing. I built a similar one using the Ryobi 4.7 Gal Vac.
Great timing for me to see your video. This is the best one I've seen. Thanks.
