I’ve probably watched 20 videos on shop air filters and this one makes the most sense, so I’m building this “model.” Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize that I didn't show the entire thing. I'm filming the end of my Assembly & Outfeed table now and will film it rotating the entire table. Thank you for the input!
I'm sorry I didn't show that in the video. The filters fit in and can be removed from the opening on all three sides. Held in with a large washer and small screw. The screw and washer can easily be removed which provides the ability to replace the filters. Glad you liked the video. Thank you so much for watching.
Dave, In the end you did a great job. I hope you keep it up. I am in the middle of building a filter system for my shop and I plan to incorporate a few of your ideas like the wheels and chord. Your presentation was excellent and the only complaint I have is the echo in your garage. I look forward to more of your creative ideas.
Thanks for the feedback! I've had this air filter now for just over a month and I can see the benefit already. Sound and lighting has been an issue... I'm going to invest in improvements. Thanks again for the feedback....
I just discovered your channel and like mentioned previously I think that is the nicest and cleanest box fan filtration build I've seen. I just wanted to mention that if you add a timer to it and let it run for about an hour after your done working you will probably see even bigger results
@@levelupwoodworking everything I have ive made, don't feel bad about the desk. My wife wanted a desk for our bedroom and drew out how she wanted it to look. We moved and have a smaller bedroom now I have the desk in the garage. I love it but would like it Not to get covered in sawdust. Lol
Nice build. I started gathering parts for this several months ago and just haven't pieced it together because I wasn't sure if I would hang it or make a cart. My space is super limited, so the cart would need to serve other purposes, maybe assembly or outfeed.
It appears to blow outward and suck from the filters? Shouldn’t you have it blow inward to prevent dust from blowing everywhere? Unless you’re using it as a fan too…?
Yes, you are correct. Dust collects on the filters and I can see how dirty they are. I switch or clean the filters about every 30 hours. The fan could be turned the other way and collect dust inside the box as well. Thanks for your suggestion.
Good Question. I don't have analytical data for this one. It's my opinion that the bottom (unless lifted off the ground a little more) would be of little benefit and I wanted to keep the top covered specifically so I had a place to put tools. I wanted the unit to serve more than one purpose I guess. Thanks for the question.
I love this build and I've been looking for something to help filter the air in my shop. Question...do you have a cut list and basic plans for this build. I'm trying to understand and see as much as I can from the video but I can't get all of it.
I'm sorry I don't have plans at this time. I'm working on an outfeed table set of plans for my next video. Given enough interest I may do some in the future. I would say that the top and bottom could be out of any scrap plywood you may have available. The framing is the tricky part and as I said in the video I may have made it more difficult than I should have for me... I've been using it just over a month and I can visually see that it's working great. Will show an update on a future video....
Sorry for the confusion. The air flow in this design pulls the air through the filters and out the back of the fan. I did it this way so I know when the filters are dirty as they collect dust on the outside of the filters and are easily noticeable. I think it could be done either way and get similar results but I just wanted to know when the filters were dirty without taking one off to look at them. Thanks for your comment!
Sorry, that must have been cut when editing. I used two large washers and small screws to retain each filter. Only caught a small piece of the filter. Doesn't need much because the air pulls the filters in.
@@levelupwoodworking awesome thank you. I was going to by the powertec one. But they only pull 400 cfm and one of those box fans can pull up to 1800 cfm
Thanks.... The fan blows out so it's pulling the air through the filters. Only had it working a month and can visually see the difference already. Will show in a future video....
@@levelupwoodworking Thanks for the reply because I REALLY loved your idea and strongly pondering it for my small garage wood shop Im doing. I want to do things around the house to make it more valuable so when I die my wife can sell it easier LOLOL '
Yea, I get that question a lot. I use two oversized washers and screws for each filter. Sorry that part of the video was unfortunately edited out. I have a video coming out the end of this month....A review of this cart a year later and mention that question. Thanks so much for watching. I really do appreciate it and the comments.
Thanks for the feedback! When I shot this video I was a little new to the process. Still learning. Hopefully my future videos will be better. Thanks again....

THANKS !!!
That is one of the cleanest ones I've seen. I like the idea of the extension cord on the side.
Great presentation. I like the first part where you talk about the needs and benefits. Often ignored by others who make these videos.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks....
That is hands down the best design I have seen. I like the size and portability. I will be building my own!
EXCELLENT! And thank you for watching! Enjoy your build.....
You've done exemplary work on that project. Great job!!
Hey thanks.......:)
I would really have liked to see the whole finished product. I was waiting for you to spin it around. It's a great idea!
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't realize that I didn't show the entire thing. I'm filming the end of my Assembly & Outfeed table now and will film it rotating the entire table. Thank you for the input!
Awesome design, i would of liked to see how you put the filters in. Are they easy to replace, when needed?
I'm sorry I didn't show that in the video. The filters fit in and can be removed from the opening on all three sides. Held in with a large washer and small screw. The screw and washer can easily be removed which provides the ability to replace the filters. Glad you liked the video. Thank you so much for watching.
looks very professional
This is a really clean design. Nice Project!

4th filter could easily be adapted to the bottom which would increase air flow 25%.
Nice job!! I will give it a shot.
Thank you for sharing. I’m a new subscriber for this one.
Awesome! Thank you!
Just saw this video, very informative. Known for a while I need to build one. And my desk that is in the garage would really appreciate it too🙂
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. Sorry your desk is in the garage. :(

I would have like to see the filter installation and talk about the remote switch.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate the comments. Both would have been good to add.
Nice build. I started gathering parts for this several months ago and just haven't pieced it together because I wasn't sure if I would hang it or make a cart. My space is super limited, so the cart would need to serve other purposes, maybe assembly or outfeed.
Thanks..... I'm sure you can make it your own!
Very nice work. I'd like to know how well it does the job for which you designed it.
Thanks Larson....I actually will provide an update on on this Air Filtration Cart and how it's doing in my next video....

Here is good information that I stumbled across today if interested in making a better filtration system.

Do you believe 3 filters is sufficient? Most units use 4 or 5 with the same style fan.
Good Question. I don't have analytical data for this one. It's my opinion that the bottom (unless lifted off the ground a little more) would be of little benefit and I wanted to keep the top covered specifically so I had a place to put tools.

1 in filters are too restrictive . I use 4 in filters
Wow....... i bet that works great for you.
After looking at lots of these air filtration assemblies, I am still confused on one aspect: Which direction does the fan blow? Inward or outward?
Sorry for the confusion. The air flow in this design pulls the air through the filters and out the back of the fan. I did it this way so I know when the filters are dirty as they collect dust on the outside of the filters and are easily noticeable. I think it could be done either way and get similar results but I just wanted to know when the filters were dirty without taking one off to look at them. Thanks for your comment!
Is this fan really 5x better than your average fan?
I have used this desing in my garage for two years now. It has served me well 😁
You didn’t show how you installed and retained the filters.
Sorry, that must have been cut when editing. I used two large washers and small screws to retain each filter. Only caught a small piece of the filter. Doesn't need much because the air pulls the filters in.

You should have demonstrated it
Your right...I'm working on an update and will include a demo as part of it.... Thanks...

Great video but, what is holding the filters in place? Thanks.
Yea, I get that question a lot. I use two oversized washers and screws for each filter. Sorry that part of the video was unfortunately edited out. I have a video coming out the end of this month....A review of this cart a year later and mention that question.
Thanks so much for watching. I really do appreciate it and the comments.
@@levelupwoodworking ~ OK! Thanks. I'll be watching for the next video.
?? You never even turned it on lol
:) Well, most people know what a box fan sounds like...but it wouldn't hurt to turn it on.

You didn’t show how to install the filters, you didn’t show a lot of the steps.
Thanks for the feedback! When I shot this video I was a little new to the process. Still learning. Hopefully my future videos will be better. Thanks again....
