Nice change of scene today Paul. Bit of a sweeping generalisation I know, but my two penneth: A job done by the well informed yet pragmatic DIYer will often be as good or better than when carried out by a tradesman. The difference is you’re not trying to get on to the next paying job as quickly as possible (or the pub, depending on what day it is!). The downside, in my case, even the smallest task takes about 6 months 🤦♂
I think you are spot on about that Matt. The tradesperson has to bring money in at a specific rate else go hungry. Since time = money jobs get just enough to pass. Also really no tradesperson can know a property and its history like the informed owner because, let's be honest, we spend months thinking about these jobs and weighing up all the options and often our first ideas are not the best. We often refine our design over an expended period - but if we were charging ourselves for our own time we could not afford it😁. Cheers
Hi Max, I have tried to take condensation drainage into account but if the underground part fills with water maybe I can use it as a hookah/shisha smoking waterpipe 😁🤣 There is a use for everything if you look hard enough. Cheers
Hi Stuart it has been a ridiculous amount of work to get that room up and running as a workshop annexe. I would have happily left the sandblaster next to the compressor, not ideal but we don't use it that often. My son did not agree and so has paid half the cost of materials for the new room. You see we have 3 items in it now - but I now have the option to get more stuff if it comes up at the right price. Cheers
Gday Paul, you’ve given me an idea now how to extend the air line in the workshop without having to sell one of the kids to pay for it😂, I never thought of using water pipe before, thanks maye
Hi Matty, I hunted for a while and explored various ideas. Once I landed on the waterpipe idea I found quite a few references to it on the internet. I piped out the other side in 15mm copper which was not to bad but at that distance I needed bigger bore. The main thing was to keep costs low. Cheers.
Hi Oxyrob, thanks. I still need to connect up the compressor end of the new airline but I've got the bits now. Then I need to see how much condensation is a problem. If need be I'll fit a water separator on the end. Cheers
Hi Paul. Finding the best way to get a “utility” from A to B is never easy when often it’s a case of A to B via XYZ. I take my hat off for all your ingenuity. Looking forward to seeing the inside of the second workshop. Good luck. 👏👏👍😀
Hi Andrew, for me cost is always a driver in those decisions. I am happy to spend on strategic purchases but for all other projects I like to challenge myself to find the cheapest suitable solution. Cheers
Its always nice when a job is done properly Paul. I cannot think of any regs that say a compressed air line has to be a certain distance down. And its always nice when a 1mtr directional drill comes out exact where you wanted it. When we built our side extension, we removed the old lead water pipe and put in a new MDPE pipe. Yorkshire water did it for free as part of their lead replacement program, I just had to get the blue pipe to the property boundary at 750mm deep, where they fitted a new water meter in the old stopcock chamber. They then moled to the watermain on the other side of the road. At the same time, I put in another MDPE pipe in the same trench at about 600mm down with a 6mm pull rope in it and brought that under the flower bed, along the garden wall to where the Virginmedia cable connection came from the street. When the extension was finished I got Virgin to change the service position of their cable to the new extension where I now have the network router, switch and patch panel etc. Its just planning ahead, you have an additional duct that as you say, can be used to put in water, power, ethernet, whatever without digging the drive up again.
Hi Bill, sounds like you were more organised than me. I left it to the paid 'experts' trusting they would do it all to regs. I paid for the pipe on my property and they covered the cost street-side although for what they charged me I think I probably paid for the lot. The street water main itself is iron and only about a 18in underground, under a grass verge. Sometimes trades pull vans onto the verge and I'm waiting for the day we get a broken main the waterspout. Cheers
I enjoy workshop set up and organisation films as much as I do machining etc. That was excellent. I like how you arranged the air feed. Also using the plastic water pipe is a good idea. The only qualm I would have about it is condensation in the underground pipe and moisture build up in there that will be hard to get out. I look forward to part 2. You are indeed blessed with some wonderful buildings. I need to take a trip down to Yorkshire (where I'm from) I'd love to try to visit you and Phil Whitley too.
Hi Carl, I agree there is a risk with condensation underground but I had limited options. I did not want the line overhead and I did not want to buy a 2nd compressor. Phil and I are in touch by email. He's not too far away. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Hi Paul. I totally get the trade off of putting the pipe in the ground. Compared to everything else the condensation issue is a small one. Just something that hit me when I looked at the set up. A small thing to contend with.
Hi Paul, nice job and explanation on the air line. I know what you mean about regulations. Here in NZ I've seen some shocking things done/missed on site work. Looking forward to part 2. Regards Kevin
Great deliberation on regulations in the UK, and adherence, my existing utilities are quite shallow ( 1930's house), I understand the "Mole" is no longer allowed here, I have had new mains upgrade to 3 Phase, 600mm depth, in 150mm conduit, , in pea gravel and warning tape as per my DNS. Mains cable under footpath was barely 400mm deep. I believe the term "Non contestable work" was used by my DNS for part of the work, they quoted me £ 1850 (2018), to dig a trench, refill etc 8 metres long, got a local builder on day rate for £ 400. Ive just had my water supply changed to MDPE from lead, but being a shared supply from footpath stopcock, Ive had a new pipe bypassing original. Your install looks fine. Guessing depth of burying at 750mm is for next ice age, due in about 10,000 years. Thanks for sharing
Hi John, you mention the date of the next ice age and I want to impress you with my (acquired) knowledge by saying that ice age cycles are dependent on three things: 1) the time of year that the earth is farthest from the sun; 2) the tilt of the earth's axis; 3) the wobble of the earth about its axis. All three change over time and when they are 'adverse' the ice sheets advance. So the ice cycles are fully predictable - though the extent might be affected by the prevailing global average temperatures. The moral might be don't regard anything as permanent, in it's current form - sea levels especially. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Hi Paul, Handy to know!, my memory banks from school has it being caused by global warming, with the Gulf Stream collapsing due to global warming. TTFN.
Hi Paul, nothing wrong with your installation whatever! We used to put all services at 18” and cover with “graded backfill” exactly as you have done! The only problem that might occur is condensate collecting in the pipe. Might be an idea to have an internal gate valve and a short pipe so you can blow the pipe through into a bucket or outside vent to clear it out in the same way that you drain your compressor regularly! Good work and an interesting watch! Phil
Hi Phil, I have put a gate valve on the end of the line. If that proves too far away from the underground section I will add a bend/trap and another gate valve near where it comes out of the floor. Cheers
Hi Paul, Always interesting to see you tackle different jobs. Good idea to lay in the other tube just in case, I bet you end up using it as well!! Some interesting comments on condensation I get the feeling that you ought to be able to blow it through, perhaps you need to do it regularly so it doesnt create a blockage? Look forward to seeing part 2, have a great weekend!!
What a coincidence. I’m planning to run an airline from my shop to what was once a pig room. I want to install a new higher capacity compressor there and also use the room for welding and grinding. I plan to use the same plastic pipe as you. You are lucky. You only have to drill through a bit of brick. In my case I need to drill through over a meter of granite. I’m still thinking about it. Going through the granite would be the most direct, otherwise it’s routing it around along an outside wall. Thanks for the video..
I hate trenching. I do not have soil, rather shale, pieces of rock. Not possible to dig with normal spade etc. I have a black water line going from an outside tap up to the garden for watering in the summer. This broke close to the tap in the garden about 6-8 years ago. Something must have shifted over a winter. I purchased a special fitting to fix this, but did not want to do the work to dig down to the break. I ran a hose over the lawn instead. Only used in summer. A hassle to move the hose when mowing, but less hassle than fixing the break. A lot of work to get the line to the other building. Well done. Dave.
Hi Paul, if common sense was more common, the over the top regulations wouldn’t be necessary. Lol. That piping should work just fine for AIR. You might want to install a blow off valve on the downstream side as it comes into the new shop. Space. An occasional quick blast should blow out any condensate collecting in the underground section. Our version of flexible water pipe here in the states is PEX. I know a lot of people are using it for AIR as well. Thanks for sharing, Cheers….
Hi Dean we do have PEX barrier pipe for heating systems. (I'm sure you know the barrier layer stops the air getting drawn in through the sidewall creating air in the system). I've put a blow-off gate valve on the end. Cheers
me an a mate were replacing a drive way in a property in Ruthin when where breaking the old concrete up we came across the the gas main just under the concrete right next to it was the main electric cable 6 inches under the concrete one slip with the breaker
That's sounds sketchy Mr Secret. 1970s houses close to here have gas pipes cast directly into the concrete floor slabs. One house had a pipe rupture due to differential movement in the slab and gas built up until the heating boiler fired up and BOOM!! The occupant was killed and several houses in the street had to be rebuilt due to severe structural damage. The investigation ruled it was just unlucky but no one was to blame because it was built to the (then) current regs. Cheers
Hi Kimber, I do think some of the building regulations make no sense and those that are over-specified tend to get quietly ignored where it's not inspected work. I suppose if you pay people enough money to spend their day thinking about standards we should not be surprised if they invent yet more standards. But all this is costing money forcing up the price of construction. Cheers
Hi Julia, yes I may get water condensing. There is a water separator just after the compressor, and I have put a gate valve on the far end of the run with the pipe sloping down towards that end. I'm hoping I can blow out anything that collects. I only use the sandblaster a few times a year. Cheers
Morning Haxby Shed, Saw your video on your refurb of the Rapidor hacksaw and noted the countershaft mounted underneath. Could you give me a rough indication of the size of the motor and countershaft pulleys please? My own conversion to single phase has hit a bump in the road after finding that my motor has a gearbox inside it, so need to move to plan B. Thanks and Regards, John ( your videos all much appreciated)
Hi John here are the details. 1/2 HP motor 3.6A, 1420 rpm. Motor pulley 3in diameter driving 9in diameter pulley on cross shaft (driven end). That driving another 3in diameter pulley which in turn drives the big wheel which is 15in diameter. It's a long time since I looked at this but I recall this setup possibly drives the saw about 20% faster than the original. It never struggles or stalls. Hope this helps, Paul.
Hi Geoff, at the moment it's just for sandblaster but the internet knowledge bank suggested that 25mm would be needed for that distance. The pipe itself forms a nice buffer tank. Cheers
I bought work trousers from screwfix that were supposed to be 34" waist & they were marked as 34. I thought I was wasting away when I tried them on. They actually measured 38"!!!
Hi Arckivo, mostly I plan ahead and buy stuff online these days. If I do get my car out for a special journey to a local supplier I get very annoyed if it is wrong especially if I'm spending my time and £3 on fuel for a £1 part. If I was in the trade and going there every day I would not be so bothered. When I can get stuff online delivered to my door for the same price the local stores must be 100% on quality and service else long term it's goodbye. Cheers
Non demountable because you should only use that O ring once, and replace it every time. Also when putting the pipe in you should wet the O ring as well, so that it will slip slightly on the pipe, and of course also have it clean and free of dust and dirt.
Hi Trudy, yes I know that is a risk. I have a water separator on the output side of the compressor tank. The other options would be 2nd compressor or a pipe overhead on a catenary and neither options are that appealing to me. Cheers
Hi Paul, I understand your reason for close cropped filming, it’s such a shame that we have to live in such a way. I only saw a report last night on Look North local tv news that Haxby has a problem with anti social behaviour. Can’t be as bad as here in Bradford though. All the best.
Hi Nigel, occasionally we do have a problem with antisocial behaviour close to one of the supermarkets. Young people collecting and causing some concern. But Haxby is generally a quiet and safe place so it's all relative. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's probably quite low. Cheers
Hi Henry, I have added a gate valve on the far end of the line near the sandblaster but I may need to add one where the mdpe comes out of the ground. Experience will show. Cheers
2 minutes in, and my first thought is "how is he going to deal with condensation collecting in an underground air line that's lower than the rest of the system?
Hi Mr Somebodyelse that is indeed a risk. I have a water separator on the output of the compressor and I have put a gate valve on the line. I'm hoping any significant accumulation of underground condensation can be blown out. Cheers
Nice job! I would have gone with scrapyard copper pipe or even stainless pipe, brazed together for joints and bends, but alas, i have the best scrapyard available to me, and i don`t know how good your scrapyards are... Speaking of services, oh yeah, you are right on the money there... As well as you are regarding Japan... It`s only a pity that Japan seems to be actively infiltrated by traitors and those who would see it eroded and sabotaged from grace... Very much as has been happening in Europe for quite a while... But i`m gettin` political, now ain`t I? Speaking of light and noise... Oh yeah... Before i started filming anything, i used to work in half dark spaces, not noticing the rumbling of the random machinery in the house, not noticing the neighbours kids screaming their heads off, trains and tractors passing by... Now that i have seen and heard that crap while i was editing my stuff, i can not miss it when i hear it or see that the light levels are dropping...
Well the thing about politics is that every person has their own idea and no two people ever seem to fully agree so I generally keep away from it. But as you mention it, Japan is facing some really big structural challenges with steep population decline and stagnant economy. It seems that (over) developed counties get into these situations. Scrapyards here can be good for steel girders and big bits like that. I don't think I'd find any decent copper pipe in straight lengths. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Huh, i just came today from the scrapyard... They just received a stack of around 100 copper pipes, 3m long straight tube with say 2cm dia, 2.5mm wall thickness if my eyecrometer picked those up well... Speaking of other stuff, Jesus, you should see the fat stack of stuff i just snagged today... Around 50 pieces of those ratchet chuck jaws for cnc chucks and other stuff... Some moron apparently inherited a whole shop and is scrapping everything like mad... Every single of those jaws is around 100 bucks a pop... I took it all off for 30 quid... And that doesn`t even count the vnmg or dnmg toolholders, slitting saws, fixtures and the rest... Speaking of politics, oh yeah, a maze of conflict like no other... Speaking of japan... Lets not speak of Japan, i`ll risk getting banned... Let`s just say that i bid the native japanese all the best and wish for them to prosper like never before... All the best and kind regards!

Hi Trudy, yes I know that is a risk. I have a water separator on the output side of the compressor tank. The other options would be 2nd compressor or a pipe overhead on a catenary and neither options are that appealing to me. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Yes your going to need a water separator in each building.
Hi Paul, I understand your reason for close cropped filming, it’s such a shame that we have to live in such a way. I only saw a report last night on Look North local tv news that Haxby has a problem with anti social behaviour. Can’t be as bad as here in Bradford though. All the best.
Hi Nigel, occasionally we do have a problem with antisocial behaviour close to one of the supermarkets. Young people collecting and causing some concern. But Haxby is generally a quiet and safe place so it's all relative. On a scale of 1 to 10 it's probably quite low. Cheers
add a fitting so you can winterise/drain the water pipe off with compressed air.
Hi Henry, I have added a gate valve on the far end of the line near the sandblaster but I may need to add one where the mdpe comes out of the ground. Experience will show. Cheers
2 minutes in, and my first thought is "how is he going to deal with condensation collecting in an underground air line that's lower than the rest of the system?
Hi Mr Somebodyelse that is indeed a risk. I have a water separator on the output of the compressor and I have put a gate valve on the line. I'm hoping any significant accumulation of underground condensation can be blown out. Cheers
How big is that shop also do you plan on insulating that shop
It's about the same size as the Haxby Shed machine room. I won't insulate it. Cheers
When people cite Japanese Railways as exemplars of customer service I refer them to the Amagasaki derailment.
Ah yes after your comment I looked at that. 106 dead and 562 injured. I won't be quoting that one as an example of good service. 😧
Nice job! I would have gone with scrapyard copper pipe or even stainless pipe, brazed together for joints and bends, but alas, i have the best scrapyard available to me, and i don`t know how good your scrapyards are...
Speaking of services, oh yeah, you are right on the money there... As well as you are regarding Japan... It`s only a pity that Japan seems to be actively infiltrated by traitors and those who would see it eroded and sabotaged from grace... Very much as has been happening in Europe for quite a while... But i`m gettin` political, now ain`t I?
Speaking of light and noise... Oh yeah... Before i started filming anything, i used to work in half dark spaces, not noticing the rumbling of the random machinery in the house, not noticing the neighbours kids screaming their heads off, trains and tractors passing by... Now that i have seen and heard that crap while i was editing my stuff, i can not miss it when i hear it or see that the light levels are dropping...
Well the thing about politics is that every person has their own idea and no two people ever seem to fully agree so I generally keep away from it. But as you mention it, Japan is facing some really big structural challenges with steep population decline and stagnant economy. It seems that (over) developed counties get into these situations. Scrapyards here can be good for steel girders and big bits like that. I don't think I'd find any decent copper pipe in straight lengths. Cheers
@@HaxbyShed Huh, i just came today from the scrapyard... They just received a stack of around 100 copper pipes, 3m long straight tube with say 2cm dia, 2.5mm wall thickness if my eyecrometer picked those up well... Speaking of other stuff, Jesus, you should see the fat stack of stuff i just snagged today... Around 50 pieces of those ratchet chuck jaws for cnc chucks and other stuff... Some moron apparently inherited a whole shop and is scrapping everything like mad... Every single of those jaws is around 100 bucks a pop... I took it all off for 30 quid... And that doesn`t even count the vnmg or dnmg toolholders, slitting saws, fixtures and the rest...
Speaking of politics, oh yeah, a maze of conflict like no other...
Speaking of japan... Lets not speak of Japan, i`ll risk getting banned... Let`s just say that i bid the native japanese all the best and wish for them to prosper like never before...
All the best and kind regards!
