Thank you Tomisac. I can't tell you how nice it is to have professionals like yourself take timeout to both read and answer questions. To actually produce a Q & A video to cover those questions puts you at a level above and beyond. Fantastic and greatly appreciated.
A little hint for you. Put your strong magnet for catching metal particles is to put the magnet in a plastic bag or something else like that to keep all the debris from falling off. Then you just have to remove the plastic and throw the debris away?
snap what a great idea thank you. let me try blue painters tape on the mags then pile off. i wonder if aluminum foil would work as well???? wrapped around the magnets. talking magnets if used a mag to trap metal has anyone one run the mag thru a demagnizer would the magnet still work???
@@jrneff9773 I am not sure. It seems like demagnetizing it, I doubt if it would still work. But then again, you could remagnitize it and would probably work?
Thanks again for a comprehensive explanation of your set up. Regarding the speed of the CBN, I wonder why they specify high speed. I mount mine on a spare lathe and run it at about 500rpm and am very pleased with how it sharpens removing minimal steel. Credit Glenn Teague for the suggestion. The magnet is a great idea but I find it challenging to clean quickly so I wrap mine in cling film making filing removal quick, easy and cheap.
I remember seeing an old film of a factory where wood turning was carried out. Each lathe had a flat board the length of the clear space beneath the lathe bed, and the front to back size a little over the length of the longest chisel. The chisels were positioned pointing front to back, all along the board, so plenty of them. The board slid under the lathe bed like a drawer, but when pulled out, it pivoted downwards slightly to make the chisels easier to access. It also had a small front and lip to retain the tools, like a drawer. Each tool was retained sideways with a thin divider. The carcase had a cover. so that the tools were protected from debris, when the board was pushed under the lathe bed. I thought it was a very elegant and effective solution for tool storage, with instant access. The board could be in two or more sections that could be slid out independently. Each section could hold different tool types, eg one for scrapers, one for gouges. Maybe, if you can picture what I've described, it would also be good for you! Nik ,
"Tool junkie. It is what it is." Yes it is! I agree that new turners can put off getting a CBN wheel for a while. But if you turn a lot, it does put a smile on your face, doesn't it?
Thankyou Tomislav. Supplying ideas for answers to the areas I'm starting to sort out. Storage and organisation of tools and materials being a big. I am getting better but my tool collection seem to get bigger all the time, like you I have one of tools in a box and bring out the ones I need to sit handy on the bench for the piece I want to turn then put everything back and clean up. I hope to be able to build a proper workshop next year using many of your ideas.
That was very useful information, Tomislav. That's the kind of content that the patient person can really benefit from. Thanks for taking time to show us all of the details, right down to the way your benches are mounted behind the lathes.
Tomislav, thank you for taking the time out to make this video. My dust extractor is an Axminster one as well and I have the same problem that you had and now solved.
Love your work. I was faced with the same issue regarding switching the dust collector remotely. Rather than relocating the NVR switch with all the attendant wiring, I swapped out the NVR switch on the collector with a double pole toggle switch (at the cost of a few dollars) and ran a switch wire to the collectors power point from beside the lathe to operate it remotely instead. Works a treat.
Zdravo, Kaki Si Tomislav, your new set up is very good and the things you need are close a hand, like you I only have a smallish workshop, and I also have found it very convenient to have a bench behind the lathe, is helps a lot not having woodchips fall down behind the lathe and also under the bench is handy storage for blanks. it is very good of you to take time out to discuss your ways and workings.
Awesome video. I have been watching your videos wondering about your dust collection. Thanks for taking the time to answer these questions. Keep up the amazing work. 👽
Great work buddy, I've been wanting to move my dust collector and air compressor outside in a small shed for a while now. Thisbis a great inspiration, I think I'll alsontry the shelf and hood like yours and Richards. Thanks for taking the time out and teaching us.
Nice to see how you do things. One needs to do what works for them and it looks like you've found what works for you. Looks like that new compressor should work well for you.
Y pipes are always more efficient than a T intersection. I like the hood set up around your turning area. Great point on leaving the dust collector higher. I have a hood over and behind my lathe and it picks up quite a bit of dust but I still use a breathing mask when working with really dry wood. My wife knows I am a tool hound and I go out to estate sales almost every week looking for a tool or wood I can use.
I’m a ‘’store tools on the wall’’ person and I sharpen before putting tools away. I think your way is better because I can wind up with a backlog laying next to my grinder when I’m too tired to sharpen after my time turning. I came to woodturning from wood carving and when I began that, metal was softer and more prone to edge damage. Storing in a drawer would have been a terrible idea back then. Maybe this old dog can learn some new tricks! One thing for certain though, I will be raising my dust collection hose higher. Thank you for all that you share!
BEST SHOW YOU HAVE EVER MADE IN YOUR NEW SHOP THANK YOU. YES RICHARD IS THE MAN. THANK YOU FOR LEARNING FROM HIM AND NOW YOUR TEACHING ME OR THE NEXT GEN. FROM REAGAN TN 38368. THANK YOU. JR
Great video. Wonderful, production-oriented and tested information. Invaluable. I've experimented with different lathe orientations. And I have a shelf (bench, table) on one. Your (and your mentor's) method, along with the dust hood is a study in efficiency. Another benefit of the table is a place for a sandpaper rack designed by Mike Darlow. It has a shelf on one side for a few small tools, live centers, etc., and a rack for a few chucks. Also a prototype holder at the axis height for duplicating spindles (in his case, chessmen). I have been using a horizontal tank compressor; reasonably quiet. Recently have been delighted with another one available in the US at harbor freight. Very, very quiet, well made, small enough to fit inder a bench somewhere (I have the 2-gallon size). With pex pipe, easy to run air lines and outlets where convenient. No idea if such is available in Europe. Speaking of geography, in the states, business rules vary by state and by county. I met a dude who has a completely automated machine shop. He makes parts for an aircraft manufacturer. I had assumed that the county he was in was business-friendly. Recently that county contacted him and informed him that he would be taxed based on the value of his machinery. $85,000. Per year. He found that, in a nearby county, the tax would be $8,500 a year, with a 5 year grace period (no tax). So it paid for him to find a building and move his entire business to that county. Hope your own business stuff gets resolved. However it does get resolved, many of us are waiting for that "just one more tool". That scraper. One more tool. Who's gonna notice?
Auch, that is horible how some of those regulations are affecting small bussinesses. Thank you very much for kind words and support, We shall find a way and soon you'll be able to order that one tool that is missing😉
I have put the bench behind the lathe which is so helpful. I think I would have done that on my own. Your example helped move it along. But I have it a little too high as you showed. I have a Harvey dust processor. Great for just dust, but that handful of shavings you showed would immediately clog the grating at the inlet on the Harvey. So I’m working on incorporating a cyclone separator . My tools are on two racks, which are behind and to the right side of the lathe. On the right the racks can hinge out to access shelf space behind. My grinder has CBN 180 and 360. (what the experienced wood turner seller recommended). Should have been 80 and 180. So yeah I’d like to unwind a few of those purchase decisions. But I am still getting immense satisfaction out of all of this.
You have done a very good job of setting up the new shop. I have looked at both your and Richards dust set up. I think I might have a go at making something similar. I think by having the shelf, it will reduce how much shavings are thrown behind the lathe that I have to clean up. What do you do with all the shavings? I can fill a 200lt drum a week... Fortunately we have a vegetable garden and Orchard, to use on the paths, and Chickens for bedding. Plus a few people ask for the shavings. I also confess, I am a bit of a tool Junkie, and will also confess that I hardly ever use most of them. Just for specialist jobs.
Good question about the shavings, I use 240l bags and I usually thought summer fill 4 a week and during winter 6-10 bags a week and I give them away to local gardners and people who grow there own vegetables...I just keep walnut and other stuff separate. Thank you very much and try out the shelf ,it will be a game changer
Been slowly catching up on your videos and have learned a lot. Many thanks. I had wondered about your dust hood, I thought it had some fancy double baffle (LOL). I think the back shelf with hood is a great idea. I will add that to my setup (my lathe is on a set of B&D Workhorse legs so it can be moved). On an unrelated topic, I was wondering which grit sandpaper you use the most? A local place has a great clear out sale so I’m stocking up. Many thanks for all the effort you make sharing what you’ve learned.
I have a small lathe 12” (304.8mm) swing over bed. What would be the measurement to the top of the pipe from the top of the bench? And how far away from the spindle would the pipe need to be? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love the videos I’ve learned so much thank you
All those measurements depends on your lathe and shape of headstock. Put the biggest diameter on and put the pipe as close to it, so you don't restrick your swing
Very happy for you that you are up and running! Question, Since your dust collector is in a separate room, it seems as you are pressurizing the smoke room and negative pressure your turning room. Does that not slow down your air volume to the amount of air leaving the smoke room or entering your turning room to the amount of leakage? The air has to come from somewhere right? I’m thinking a vent hole between the rooms would help keep your room temperature maintained better in the turning room and increased air flow.
Hi Kevin, thank you very much 😀 I haven't notice any differents and the shop is always opened and dust extractor room as well, also there are vent on the doors so it always draws fresh air... I don't mind that ,even in winter as I adapt to winter but heat is a different story.
Again mate another great video thanks, i do have a query why do you and Richard have the lid on the dust collecting box not fixed as when I watch Richards videos it is always moving and can get dangerous if it falls on your turning. It can be fixed to three points so you can still slide the extension frame under.
Nice setup. Good job in such a short time, man. Will compressor live in the same room with the dust collector, so you cut down on sound? Keep up the good work, man.
Thank you Amy I did wanna play with 6inch pipe to see if I'll get better airflow.... Just never got the time to set it up and test it. In theory it should work. I have only 45 turns, 90° will mess up with airflow
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thanks for your reply. I too only have 45 degree bends. I was referring to the angle that you cut the pipe as it enters your "box" at the lathe. The angle you cut it at.
Hi Tomislav, thanks for the video! How come you bought your first lathe only 6 or 7 years ago? 😅 I think in another video you said you're turning for about 17 year now or something like that. What happened the 10 years before? 😅 I hope you can sell your tools soon. The regulations often don't make sense but nevertheless we have to live with them or find a way around them. Greetings! 🤗
Yes , I have bought my own lathe for my own work, up to that point I used lathe at my job as a woodworking instructor/teacher. In my ever first speaking video(not my best video😄) I go more in depth but I have been turning for 12 years from age of 15 , more less once a week turning furniture parts , along side making furniture and teaching and the last 6 years since we bought our own first lathe I pour every day every hour into turning. Working on day job and after doing turning for 4-5 hours,full on production. Up until my younger son was born and I was stay home dad and doing production turning and filming videos☺️.

@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Now you are or the very least are becoming one of the (not yet "old" 😆) masters you've learnt from 🤗 So everything goes full circle 💃🏽
It looks like the dust collector exhausts to the outside, filtered air going out through the door vent? If so could leave off the filter and just blow the dust outside, or neighbors too close?

Hello Ken, its 4 inch pipe
Let your spouse be your employee. That way the money stays in family. This way other than taxes all funds stay in your household.
She is already employed, but we found different way
I have a 6” pipe off my dust collector. I can’t tell what size yours is. Do you think I should keep that size for better cfm or go down to 4”?
And it looks like more than a 45 degree angle you cut the pipe at, I imagine that is an important rough angle.
Thank you Amy
