So cool to finally hear your voice! I yelled out “He speaks!”😀 As for the project this is definitely on my list of things to make for the shop👍 Great job👍
Hahaha thank you so much, buddy. It was pretty weird talking to the camera in another language than Dutch. My intention is to talk in my future videos more often. Thanks for watching and see you in the next one.
Very cool! I recently saw a video where the person added a hacksaw blade to the sandpaper station so they could more cleanly tear the sandpaper off. Just a thought. Love the French cleat addition too!
Hi Tom! Thanks for sharing that idea, I appreciate that. At first, I also thought of this idea, but out of necessity because I didn't have a hacksaw lying around, I had to look for an alternative. And I have to say I'm surprised how well this works. The paper needs some sort of guide along which it can tear. By trying this I have now found out that it really doesn't really matter what it is. Thank you for watching, Tom. See you in the next one, my friend.
Great design. I've been planning to make one for ages. Might put few grooves in the top and see if it provides an advantage. I did chuckle when you sanded the top before fitting it, rather than waiting to use it to extract its own dust : )
That is actually a good comment, my friend! And very clever, too! We should start to make videos together, hahaha. Thanks for watching and this positive input, buddy!
@@christofix Thanks. It was intended to be constructive : ) Wish I had the time, space and equipment to do vids, because I have some good ideas occasionally.
@@danceswithaardvarks3284 It was constructive, for sure. I had never thought about sanding it in the end, so I could suck its own dust, so thanks buddy!
Hi Beautiful video as well as the background music. Very clearly constructed and neatly finished, I think I would like to make a few. Under the drill press, the miter saw, the belt grinder and who knows where else? Thanks for sharing. Keep it safe, it is not over yet. Willy from Belgium. 😷😷😷
Thank you so much Willy. I'm thinking about making one for my drill press. But first I need a new drill press. The one I have now is broken and to small.
Danke Susanne (based on your name, I suspect you are German, correct me if I'm wrong) Thank you so much for watching my videos and writing me a comment. That is much appreciated. Greetings from Belgium, Christophe.
Your downdraft table is cool , I like it very much. Adding the roles of sandpaper is a great touch. If you add a couple of hacksaw blades to help cut the sandpaper would also be a great feature.
Thanks, buddy! Since I didn't have a hacksaw blade when I was building this downdraft table, I just used a piece of scrap wood and this worked surprisingly well, and it was cheap too, LOL. Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment. Greetings
Mate, that opening shot is some fancy pants editing, it's absolutely killer.👌🏽 These downdraft tables are brilliant, and what an awesome idea incorporating the sandpaper dispenser! 👍🏽
Thank you so much, Bill.I have thought about what I could do with that lost and empty space. This seems a good idea to me, and now I always have my sanding paper with me. That intro shot was indeed cool. Although this took me 4 hours to set it up, film it for 5 times until I got the perfect shot, and editing the colors. I'm happy you enjoyed it. Greetings Christophe.
Great intro & very nicely thought out downdraft table! I already have one that I made a long time ago. However, I never use it. Anyway, keep up the great work......... 👍👍😉😉
Thank you for that nice comment about the intro. I think that was a really cool shot, and it was fun to do. Although that shot took me almost 4 hours of work setting up, editing and color grading.
Cool shot on the last bit! I don't have an aor cleaner, draft table, or a good working dust collection system. I got a Home Depot bucket and some pvc pipes. Haha! As well as a broom. Haha! Your vids are very entertaining as well as education and inspiring! 😇😎😀
that is great I like the design but please please do some research on pipe size. I made a similar table and used 6" pipe almost loose the sander the suction is so great.
Hi Tony, thank you for that feedback and for sharing your experience. I haven't experienced this on this downdraft table yet, but I check it along the way with use.
Bravo! So much to comment. The sanding paper storage is brilliant! The video ends with a French cleat and duel use sanding paper station. Blew my mind! So I'm on like video 30. Just got done watching Stumpy Nubs version. He declared bigger holes are more efficient. I'm going to actually do a test with a scale. Should be fun. The 3/4 holes, if truly more effective also all ow for bench dogs and accessories. My only question is about the dust collector hose size. Has that been an issue? Also I won't be spinning my Festol by the cord any time soon but it looked great! I've seen foldable sides and corner brackets and foldable handles like that on a guitar amp. Also, someone commented about blocking some of the unused holes like a dust gate. I'll play with that. I'm going to watch some more videos.and try to put all this into one. But man, the sanding paper addition is so sweet! Thanks for the great video!
Thank you for this very nice comment. I really appreciate this. I myself also have the Festool vacuum cleaner and I have not encountered any problems with it, these two work well together to collect as much dust as possible during manual sanding. Closing some holes may increase the suction power of the holes that remain open. Still, I don't choose to do this because I think more open holes will remove more floating dust. I hope this has been able to answer your questions. Thanks again for watching and leaving this positive comment. I hope to see you soon in one of my other videos. Greetings, Christophe
@@christofix Wow! quick reply. I might use a box fan containment in the back that is piped into the dust hose to aid in more of the air born particles. This is a really fun project to see how much greatness and creativity can be applied.
I was like, hey that looks and works very efficiently and nice opening shot. Then I realized it was not in downdraft mode, but was in exhaust mode and reversed in post. Nice shot, but a little bit of a cheat.
I didn't know you had wood skills. That was pretty cool seeing you using the table saw jig that I didn't know many people knew of. Checking squareness, I knew it would be right on. *Another way to check squareness is to measure opposite corners* That measurement should be the same. Cheers and enjoy the fun hobby. Here I thought you were just a car guy. Lol. My apologies.
again a lovely video. great pace and editing!! whish i had more shop time everytime i see one of your videos. one question is keeping me busy, are you dutch?
Those are kind words, Paul. I really appreciate that. I live in Belgium, so my native language is Dutch. My English is not perfect, but I am doing my best and I think I will learn along the way. Thank you for watching and see you in the next one. Regards.
Hi Brandy! Thank you for your question, it is much appreciated. I'm pretty sure it increases suction. It makes perfect sense to me if the vacuum hose is placed in the center of the downdraft table. Dust will have to travel an equal distance from every place to the vacuum hose. That's why I chose this option. Thank you for watching, my friend!
How strong is your vacuum? I have a 5hp shopvac and find it weak for using with various tools such as table saw and drill press. A down draft table probably requires even more cfm right?
Hi buddy! I am not sure about the number of HP, but I know that my Festool dust extractor has a volume flow of 3900 l / min (137 cfm). My first experiences with this downdraft table are very good. I will continue to test these to see if there are possible improvements. Thank you for watching my video, my friend. Greetings Christophe
I did this because it will help collect the dust at the point where the dust extraction happens. This will prevent dust from accumulating in the corners and ensure maximum dust removal. I hope this answers your question. If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I will help where I can. Greetings Christophe

I really like your design! Adding a cleat to hang it up was genius. Thanks for the mention!
Thanks, Wes! Your welcome about the shout-out. I got the idea from you and I thought people should watch your build to. Greetings
