This is the kind of pricing and no nonsense attitude that I like to see.
Love it! Simple beyond belief. Thanks Bro.
Really like your sense of humor. The occasional music accents were a great touch. Keep up the good work.
Nice and easy adapter and setup. I love the unintended inspection window with the cup too. Rather than using a straight T though, you should consider a "wye" fitting, so the input from the table saw is headed down when it hits the fitting. More efficient and less likely too clog.
Thanks Sam! My kind of approach to shop challenges. Really enjoy your down to earth presentations where you can get your idea across with out all the fluff. I’m a LONG time woodworker but never too old to learn. Thanks again and keep up the great work.
Awesome, thank you!
One of the best dyi vids I've seen recently, honest, funny (not too goofy), and sensible tips.
Thanks, much appreciated!
I came in here looking for something else but was captured by you and watched the entire video just because I loved how you tell the story, you are so funny and real!
I love your flat screen in the workshop!!!!
Hi Sam! Thanks for the video! I really enjoy watching and learning from your sweet family.
Thanks Connie! Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice job. I appreciate your style and not taking yourself too seriously. Well thought out and nicely videoed. Your tapered pvc is the easiest solution to making the fittings I have seen. Keep up the good work from Maine.
I appreciate that!
Interesting approach to making an adaptor. Thanks for that. Suggestion: there are three 90 degree turns between dust separator and shop vac - cutting that down to one might help airflow. Just turn the shop vac around and raise it a few inches - or turn the dust separator around... Best wishes.
I was going to make the same recommendation.
Also, maybe each 90 replaced with 2 street 45s for less friction loss in the direction changes.....?
@@cliffmorgan31 Yep, better idea.
When it comes to air-flow restriction, I believe one elbow is counted as the equivalent of about 5ft of straight pipe. (I learned that off an HVAC guy.)
@@frameriteairdrie578 I’ve heard something similar.
I think you’re one of the best no bulls$?t diy youtubers ive ever come across. I am currently setting up a shop and only have a vac a collector and hose and have been waiting to do more to figure the best and cheapest way to do the rest(AND tripping over the hose). Thanks man.👍 You’ve got a subscriber.
Darrell Mytopher Hi Darrell, I was in the same boat tripping over hoses. My dust collector is in the center of my shop, under the workbench. So I put a 5’ long rotating arm in the joist above the collector and ran a hose from the collector up to and out along the arm. It turns through 330 degrees so I can turn the arm to any of my dust producing tools and hook the hose up. No more hoses on the floor.
Nice!
See Jeremy Fielding's site on dust collectors where he has automated his blast gates (and dust collectors) to open and close when the motors are turned on. Really slick stuff!
Thank you. This is EXACTLY the hint I WAS searching for to clean up my dust collection for my sandblast cabinet. Here's a hint of my own for anyone who wants to make an equally simple pre-filter to keep the expensive HEPA filter in the shop vac clean: I had an ancient Craftsman shop vac (about 1970) with an input and output fitting on the top. The drum was cardboard, it was that old. I plugged its hose into my female 2 1/4" ID port on the Skat Blast cabinet. Then I ran the 7' long Ridgid hose to my new shop vac. I don't like having this long hose when all I need is a 4-5' hose. Turns out there is no such thing, so that's why I am going to do as you instruct and replace this with DWV.. BTW, in use I do NOT power on the old shop vac.
Quick and easy! I like! Great video and entertaining. Look forward to seeing more. I agree with the point Jim made below in regards to the venting. I too live in a cold winter climate and don't want to be venting all my expensive heat outside. I'm thinking of running it through my DIY shop air filtration system so that it catches all that leftover dust before coming back into the shop but keep that heat indoors.
Thanks for the video I never thought of running the exhaust from the dry vac to outside,what a great idea, I was putting a sock over the exhaust to slow it down but now I’m running it outside, thanks again
Glad it helped!
Sam, I really enjoy your channel. Thank you for the content you have posted over these past years. You have given me motivation to start my own woodworking business and TH-cam channel. Again, thank you.
I appreciate that! Best of luck with your journey, I hope it's wildly successful for you!!!
This is the best solution I’ve seen on how to fit pvc to a shop vac! And believe me I’ve watched dozens of videos on it. Regarding the evolution of your system - I had my shop vac under my porch, which shares a wall with my shop, so I just had a port on the wall and a switch. Since then I’ve upgraded to a full dust separator & collector system controlled by a smart WiFi outlet, so I just have to say “Alexa turn on the dust collector” and I’m ready to catch chips 😄 I still have to manually open the blast gate on the tool I’m using, but eventually I’ll get that automated too.
Awesome to hear! That sounds like a really cool setup! Thanks for the kudos!
What's the blast gate?
Just a retired woman who likes to refinish furniture, but have been struggling with the dust. Yours is the first video I have watched that addressed the exhaust coming out of the shop vac! TY for the idea, will be drilling a hole in my garage now!!
Glad it was helpful!
Liked for the exhaust out of the shop concept. Thank you.
Glad I found this channel . Good stuff with humor!
Well I’m Irish & Scottish so you had me at “Cheapest.”
Liked & subscribed.
Great shop project but the delivery made it worth watching more than once. First of your videos I have watched and to have found your channel. Your humor and delivery earned another sub! Well done!
Hey, thanks! There's plenty more videos on the channel, most recently I've been building my new workshop -- 12x20 on our new land in TN. :)
@@Samcraftcom Im south of Nashville. Welcome to the state! Im in east TN frequently riding some of the beautiful mountain roads.
Absolutely hilarious and get’s me off to the pipe shop,vacuum going outside and hopefully a quieter and cleaner workshop Many thanks
So many practical tips on this channel. Will be checking the plumbing section of the hardware store now. Flex hose has lots of friction that causes loses. Run a bare copper wire inside, it stops static build up that can make sparks n fire.
I really like your approach to solving the price problem. I am going to try it on 4" PVC, if it works it will save me a lot of money. Thanks for sharing and being entertaining at the same time.
I solved my dust extraction problems with 4 inch pvc sewer pipe as a manifold and using 4 inch pvc connectors with rubber washer that are used to connect
EXCELLENT VIDEO AND PROCESS. Sorry for screaming but it still works and my shop is cleaner. I have added a few dust separators and dust collections hacks. However, you started me on this path of cheaper priced fitting for shop vacs from PVC fittings. Thanks for sharing and laughter is great medicine any time...
You are very enjoyable to watch and listen too. I can’t wait to see what else you will do for dust collection because in a couple months I will have a 14’ x 14’ shed that I will need to finish inside and add dust collection to. If you have any ideas about adding lights, insulation and wall board I’d love to hear your ideas.
As far as fitting a hose end to your system I did the same jig, and chucked it into my drill press, set it at 900 rpm and used a heat gun to make the pvc soft and then press fitted my hose end into the end. Worked like a champ.
You can lower the cost of your PVC pipes by buying longer lengths. If you're worried they won't fit in your car, bring your favorite battery powered cutting utensil, and cut them down in the parking lot.
Always stop when you see PVC by the curb or in a dumpster.
Nice job young man. One thing I’d like to point out though. If you have the room use 45 deg fittings instead of 90. Will take a bit more space but the airflow is much better. One other item viewers might find useful. In my small shop I have a decent roll around vac. I found on Amazon a wonderful super soft and flex hose. It comes with 2 quick connect fittings. Having 5 machines I wanted to hook up to I simply made the quick connect fittings for each. So simple as all they are is a standard piece of tube with a little groove cut in. ( yeah I’m fortunate because I have a lathe lol) now I adapted with fittings to each machine. I roll my vac close to the machine I’m using . Boom! Works great. Thank you for the video young man!
Wizard indeed!
Really like your attitude, outlook and demeanor. From a retired industrial arts teacher.
Thank you!
This celebrates the KISS system! Perfect!
Hey man, thanks for the ideas here. I use my garage as a shop and dust... OMG DUST! This gives me some ideas on how to modify what's going on with my stuff and hopefully make it better, much better. Keep it up!
Glad to help!
Why should we watch your video? Because you are thr coolest guy on TH-cam
Loved the faux pas "can of itself".... Great video!
Well done !!! Have always been plagued with the exhaust of my vac.... after watching your video, piped the exhaust thru a piece of plywood right out the window it sits under !!!
Appreciate your share!!!
Great to hear!
Venting outside sounds like a great idea where you live,not so good in Canada where winter gets to 40 below ,all the heat you worked so hard to maintain is gone in a few minutes!
Great little video, love your plastic cup idea, a piece of sheer brilliance lol , thanks for posting from Garry in the UK
Glad you enjoyed it! Take care!
Love your sense of humor!
Thanks!
Very enjoyable, and I really enjoyed your presentation style and not taking yourself too seriously. And the idea is a good idea too.
You rocked it! Can't wait to see what else you come up with. Love the ingenuity of it all and of your channel actually is so fun to check out. Always interesting and fun. Keep up the good work. We'll be back to see what else you come up with. :-) I can see a lot of improvements here that hubby can incorporate into his shop! Thanks Sam, awesome!!!
Thanks!! You're welcome back anytime! 😄
Thank you for the idea I took it one step further and simply sanded the edge of the 2 foot section and then cut it to size made several connectors out of a 2 foot piece
Dude. You just saved me so much time that wouldda been waisted. My whole collection duct system is going to be so much cheaper and simpler. Thanks!
Great video Sam. I use the same cyclone setup with my shop vac, and I am definitely going to do this and run the exhaust out through the wall.
I've loved it ever since doing the exhaust outside. It's so great to have the vac running and not have the dust be stirred up in the shop. It's the closest I've ever had to a real shop feel with it. :)
Finally setting up my Vac in my shop. I have my Vac and separator inside of a cabinet and run to a switch outside the cabinet so I can easily turn it on without opening it up - which helps with the dust blowing around with exhaust problem you mentioned. Going to try your pvc to vac hose jig next!
Apart from good ideas, you were also fun to watch/listen to.
I thought the same thing :) which is why I just subscribed to this channel!
CyrusBee A great
I agree.
This comment still holds true.
Ha...jokes were terrible. Not funny at all!!
Loved your video, very helpful. The best normal guy to relate to I’ve seen , just the helpful thing I’ve seen for what I wanted to do in my shop
#1. Loved the plastic cup. I'm pretty good at finding "something that will work for now" type of things. I think it's smart, so seeing you use that plastic cup I was like... yessss, badass!
#2. I'm setting up a new shop from scratch, but it's also my garage :-(. So my MAIN concern is dust collection. Your PVC/shop vac idea is perfect with the exhaust pipe going out the floor. Thank you!
Great idea and I like your sense of humor.
Love the Channel Sam! Here is my tip; To close the semi-circular opening on the front of the saw to increase suction, get some sheet magnets. They are cheap. Cut two half circles in the edge of two sheet magnets the size of your saw's height adjustment arbor. Stick them over the semi-circular opening...problem solved. Easy to peel off to make adjustments, then slap them back on.
This is great idea, Thanks for sharing. I made the 2 fittings I needed. But I used a 2 1/4" hole saw to make my adaptor. Worked great. Also, all I had to do is enlarge the center hole.
Nice work!
Re-configuring my shop and adding a better dust collecting system. The venting outside is a great idea, I will have to go through a wall. Just wonder how dusty my neighbor's cars will get. :) Thx for sharing and subscribed.
Sam, do you have any ideas for an inexpensive system to blow dust off of my car? - Tom's neighbor
Great videos and insights! Im terrible at cutting circles! I just used a hole saw to cut the disc. If someone doesn't have the exact size saw a couple wraps of tape on the disc will snug the fit.
I love it, i'm addicted to tools with very little skills but got a myther saw during lockdown n since saw dust is the biggest problem i have with it. this will def help..
Great job !! Thanks !! Now I have some more ideas of how I'll set mine up !! Cheap AND simple got my attention right away !!
I'm glad I came across this video! I subscribed. I've been looking for just such cheap ideas on my shop vac collection. Gonna get some pic today and get started. I hope to put my dust collector barrel outside of my shop to save space....like you I'm afraid to drill holes through Wall or floor! Can't wait to see your other vids....good sense of humor w/o being too goofy!!!
You also need to think about spark arrestor. Moving small particles around like that causes static electricity, causing sparks in very flammable sawdust. VERY common in household fires. A public service announcement. 👍
Bonding (ground) wire.... “somewhere” is worth considering. Very, very fine wire run inside the tubes connected to “ground”....?
As a former Fire Chief that had a concrete building's 150ft long x 20ft high wall blow out into a parking lot and crush some vehicled from a dust explosion caused by static electricity. I woyld not use pvc but if i did, id ground that entire pvc system using bare copper wire. Its easy to do.
In my own shop i ran 8, 6, 5 and 4 inch galvanized 'stove pipe', screwed and taped with AC aluminium duct tape and grounded it. That way the pipe carrys the dust and makes a safe conductor of the static charge to ground and the screws insure a good connection between the sections. The galvanized pipe was more expensive but not as much as a dust explosion followed by a fire. I found a great plumbing house that carried all kinds of galvanized fittings at a reasonable price.
Safety first and always!
@@chief1945: If going with PVC and copper, how would you suggest bringing the wire out and grounding? Thanks!
@@b-radg916simply connect the inside to the outside at each end with a bolt and nut , near a fitting. Then connect each grounding wire to the ground. Or you could run the wire through a small hole drilled in the pipe, and seal it with glue or tape.
@chief1945 Was it sawdust? I know finer dust will explode, but I've never heard of a case where the fuel was sawdust. The worst I've heard was getting zapped or dust clogs. Can you give more information?
New to your channel, and good stuff!
The jig for the pipe taper was way cool, and saves a bunch of time fiddling with adapters, as yours can fit a variety of machines (maybe with a longer taper).
I noticed that your 90 degree fittings ARE the plumbing drain type, as opposed to the tight bend fittings used in irrigation piping. Based upon my experience with dust collection setups for multiple older non-ported) tools, it is CRITICAL to minimize the number of bends, use LONG sweep 90's, or even back to back 45's to make all sweeps more gradual. A single 45 or 90 fitting has the equivalent flow restriction of MANY feet of pipe.
Exhaust dust has always annoyed me. Now I have a solution. Thanks for the video. Great job.
Glad to help!!
great vid, love the shop. you can pre drill and run machine screws through your pvc pipe to connect it and still be able to take it apart as needed
Thank you, I learned something which I can’t say about every woodworking video .
Nice shop !
Awesome, thank you!
Brilliant! PVC tapering! Exhaust vented out of shop! Excellent! Thanks
The best video I have seen about this.
Sam I'll be watching and waiting for more. Thanks.
Awesome, thank you!
First video of yours that I have watched.
Great first impression. I appreciate the creativity, your frugal nature, and your self-deprecating sense of humor. I get paid for public speaking and training and it is something that must come naturally to us big bearded guys! It makes the audience comfortable and makes us relatable!
You got a “SUBSCRIBE” out of me on the first view! 👍🏻
GunManOsh ditto
GunManOsh
Have you also noticed how many big bearded male comedians there are?
As opposed to the number of big bearded female comedians of course.
I have no idea why I even included “male” in the first part. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wayne Crews 🤣🤣🤣
Great idea. I did something similar by using a sanding drum on my drill press to remove the inner material on a 45degree elbow. I think I’ll try your method soon. It seems like it will work well
Awesome!
Really great idea. My problem is CFM though, not so much having the machines connected more efficiently. For certain jobs the vac is fine, but it CANNOT handle a thickness planer, and the table saw is kind of pushing it sometimes. Would the PVC help boost the CFM somehow?
best explanation/demo video i have seen. thanks man.
Great video! Perfect for what you needed but also an excellent video to show what can be done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for this, I will use this idea along with the heat gun method of stretching and shrinking PVC tube to fit my vac system. 👍 😎
Awesome! Best of luck!
It’s good to see people working out the problems without spending $1 million dollars keep up the good work
Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!
there I was thinking I needed to get flexible connections from somewhere etc. and then this! so sweet.
You crack me up man these videos are great keep doing what you do
Damn. This is easier than others out there. Thanks 3000 bro. New sub here all the way from North Borneo. Newbie in woodworking too 🤭🤭
You are such a practical man. I appreciate your sharings!
My pleasure!
Yup, absolutely brilliant. Well done sir, well done.
Thanks for the great video Sam!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video and your sense of humour!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good to see someone use common (cheap) materials to make a dust collection system. That way I can use the money I save to purchase Woodpecker tools (I noticed you don't have any either). Good to see you don't have tons of tools hanging from the walls. You are my kind of woodworker!
Just watch your video, wow I never thought of that. Love your video's and way of making thing simple. Can wait to try you dust collection Ideas.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love the split screen👏👋👍
Yay!! I tried to keep it interesting yet informative and "keep the video moving". Glad you liked it!
I’m glad I’m not the only one with a TV In my shop 😁
You got me on "cheapest and easiest." LOL!
Great job man a home run !
Awesome and so affordable! You Rock!!!
Excellent Idea; thanks for posting this.
Glad it was helpful!
Enjoyed your wisdom you shared you have a blessed day
Thank you! You too!
I tried this out and works great. i did make a change tho, instead of freshanding with the drill to the sandpaper, i clamped the drill to my workbench and used a strip of 80 grit sandpaper to remove enough material with a taper to fit my shop vac. thanks for the idea.
Cool work around!!
Great video and some good ideas. I have just added a dust collection to my shop. I notice you are from North Carolina. You might get away with venting outside but up here in the northeast in the cold if you vent outside your furnace never shuts off LOL. My vac is outside on top of a drum and the vent actually comes back inside to a filter for winter months.
Good point!
Thank you! I’m using this idea in my tan studio🤸🏼♀️
Haha, I loved when the heavens opened and Angel's sang! Lol
I have a diy system similar to yours but I used a metal garbage can. It works but even with a 6 h.p. shop vac the max cubic feet per minute is max 150...so you spend $85 for a 6 H.P. shop vac and for your fill barrel premade $100...I have figured I could diy something with a Harbor freight 2 h.p. 3500 cfm dust collection system and it would be even more expandable for the future. I like your vids because you are extremely creative. I am about not spending more then I have to.
That's a cool idea Bob! I'm all about thinking through a problem rather than throwing money at it. Don't get me wrong, I'll invest if it's needed, but I'd rather not have to. LOL
@@Samcraftcom dust collection is an art not a science. There seems to be a 100 ways to set everything up. I have become more interested in dust collection because I just milled some wormy maple veneer. Between the tablesaw, thickness planer and bandsaw it was alot of mess. The enjoyable part of a shop is planning the next move..lol...continually.
Home Depot sells a vacuum exhaust muffler that can fit on many shop vacuums. It’s much quieter & importantly reduces the blast coming out the top or back without ruining suction. I put one on a 45 year old Jet Vac that exhausted out the top & used to make a mess, very loud & blew into my face & blew everything off of floor joists above basement. Muffler fixed the problems.
I tried one of those but didn't notice any benefit other than the exhaust airflow, but glad it worked for you!!
Brilliant Sam, I cut slots in ABS pipe on the bandsaw to allow the diameter to collapse to fit. I like your idea better.
I wanna party with this dude!! Nice video man.
Hi Sam, this was a great video and good Idea
Thanks! This was very helpful! 👍
Very entertaining and enlightening video!
I don’t always like videos, but yours was informative and entertaining. 👍
I appreciate that!
Good video, salute from Chile
Liked the video very much. Going to check out your other videos next.
Only concern, those of us with basement shops and seasonal extremes won't want to exhaust (semi-) conditioned air and pull in hot or cold air somewhere else. I do enough of that running the clothes dryer. I'd probably use old nylon hose for the last step to catch dust. Actually have two dryers, one vented outside and one vented inside with nylon hose to maintain humidity.
That's a very good point!
