Yes! Clean but not too clean. Learn to settle for good enough when good enough is good enough.
Good enough, is usually too good🍻🍻🍻
This is my primary reason for playing around with my dust collection so much. Less sweeping.
one of my summer jobs was with a cleaning supply company. after my boss convinced me he was more qualified to push a broom them I was, he demonstrated a similar version of 'just get it out of the way without kicking up a lot of dust" method. Funny thing about those old guys, they put their time in before something more important came along too.
I don't need this tip, I already cleaned my workshop last summer... Thanks for sharing !
That recent? I normally wait till it's just below my shoulders then l can swim between tools.😨😰😱😎
great story. makes the channel worth the visit.
I should make up some more
:)
Your right. I was an electrical apprentice when the TD Center was going up. One day a week I joined the labours along with the plumber. fitters. etc. apprentices to sweep for the day so the trades didn't get backcharged for garbage clean up. If you made dust you soon heard about it. Not always politely.
Who knew John was a clean freak? Hahahahaha. Thanks for the tip. I am definitely guilty of incorrectly sweeping.
Ah yes. Once a year we would sweep the dock area of the Lumberyard I worked in as a teenager. It took twelve hours and it raised a cloud of dust that could block out the sun. I suggested a hose and some grain shovels and became an instant hero. Edit: I didn't even notice you had shaved until I read another comment. LoL
LOL was thinking "has he lost weight or something?" and didn't even notice until reading your comment
There is no substitute for experience. Thanks for sharing.
I agree! Just a quick clean up at the end or the beginning of day, should be just fine!
Marvelous!
Some of the best dialogue from the entirety of Game of Thrones at the end there.
I do the old open the garage doors and pull out the leaf blower when I want things spotless
I use my dust collector to vacuum up everything. No sweeping in my shop, but I only really clean (on a regular basis) the center part of my shop. I clean under my equipment when I move it to the center to use it.
Fully agree! Getting a broom with very fair straws helps avoiding kicking up the dust too.
And it can mitigate tracking the bigger chunks into the house. Simple but good topic!
I might label this talk as a "Tribal Knowledge" type talk.
Hey John love the tip! You kind of gave me permission to “not sweat the small stuff”.
But when you do go to town to really sweep it all up, wet a bunch of sawdust and throw it around. It really keeps the dust down. Thanks again 👍🏻😊
If it looks clean it is clean
"You're obviously just putting in time until there's something important to do". SO TRUE. I've fallen victim to people "looking busy" by sweeping and covering everything with dust in the process.
John I like your message behind the shop cleaning tip.
Great advice, makes for a cleaner shop
Thank you for sharing 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
About the only time I use a broom in the shop is when I'm jointing and planing. The dust collector gets most of it, but some always escapes. Otherwise, I use a vacuum. Clean, and nothing kicked up into the air. I finish in the same space as I build so I try to get the floor clean so I'm not kicking up dust just walking around.
Thanks John!
Something so simple , I can't believe I never thought of it.
I’ll get plenty of cleaning and sleeping when I die. 👍 good tip.
I just blow everything out, including the big stuff along with a few tools that I had been looking for for weeks.
Thanks for the video.
Excellent thought and habit John!
A clean shop is important as it can be a trip hazard and can be messy. I’m a organized guy, as can’t stand clutterness (if there is such a word). I pickup some tools that won’t be used again to get them out the way and make more room where I’m working. It just makes work more enjoyable and will need to be picked up at the end of the day anyway, so might get it out of the way.
Funny 😄, you will get more effective progress done picking up and cleaning during the task than after the task because you won’t be stumbling over it during the work. It would drive my friends crazy when we did a project together. I just felt better to have an organized place to work 😆, and besides I can find my tools easier instead moving have of the unnecessary tools out of the way. It just makes sense 👍.
Good tip John. I didn't learn until my mid 20's how to sweep a floor properly without kicking up dust. I see many folks, of all age groups, doing what you were describing.
On a similar subject with cleaning, I have great difficulty keeping the table saw dust from piling up on the table surface. Do you have any ideas on how to make a table saw blade shroud for dust collection out of wood? I had a dewalt 7491rs that had a canvas shroud that was awesome, but i gave to my brother for christmas. Ever since then, i have been wanting something similar on my grizzly 0691. I currently have a 1hp 4" dust collector attached to the cabinet, but it seems like it is not enough. I covered many cracks, openings and even installed a zero clearance plate. One of the Saw stops has a dust shroud around their blade with a port for the collector. I hope this coaxes you into a blade dust shroud build video.
Thanks, John. Hadn’t really thought of sweeping floors like this. Now I know. My shop is a disaster. I’ve got sh*t piled everywhere. I seem incapable of organizing it. How did you learn to get organized?
Even the smallest tip can be extremely useful. Wise old Mason once said...
IF IT LOOKS CLEAN IT IS CLEAN! reminds me of some other quote mmm,
I believe you clean enough is clean
I worked with a toolmaker who never cleaned up. His attitude was: they're going to pay me whether it's clean or dirty. He also never picked up a part that fell on the floor until he needed to work on it. His attitude about that was: it will be there if I need it.
All the Fn Chickens!
Please tell me this is an older video... That beard was looking epic!!! Great vid, as usual, so keep it up
JOHN YOUR BEARD FELL OFF !
Hey. If it hits the floor it can’t fall any further. And it’s always there waiting for you.
What about using a vacuum??
Been my philosophy pretty much my whole life. Drives my wife bonkers.
80-20 rule!
Helpful tip John and makes perfect sense.
Cleaning a floor too spotless is a waste of time yes. As soon as you make 1 cut its all covered in fine dust again. I usually just keep it fairly clean no obstacles to fall on etc. I see you really enjoy the sweeping as much as you do shoveling snow ha ha. Screw the robot lawn mowers and vacuum cleaners we need one that sucks in wood chips and dust when were out of the shop.
i cleaned it when i painted the shop ;-)
I like corn brooms a lot more than the nylon bristle ones. Debris don't stick to the corn broom.
Cool advice! I'm struggling with that issue myself!
What's the end quote from buy the way?
Game of Thrones, Sandor 'the Hound' Clegane
Was waiting for the video to cut to you with a leaf blower sending everything all over. Another pro tip is to not record. Takes ages when you film aye?
1:52 not much has changed. ;)
Creating an inequality of outcome in regards to the cleanliness of the hierarchies of shop dust?
Jordan Peterson would be proud.
what! i have to clean my shop? shaving only up to my knees, still lower than my hip boots, i think i've got another year
John, are you a one or two chicken kind of guy?
Who are these “lot of guys” who want their shop spotless? They would not survive in my shop.
I’m curious about the project on your tablesaw. Building a chair?
Great tip, man. But why shave the beard? You looked awesome with it.
My wife cant stand to be in my shop. She say " I cant come out and visit because i start cleaning." Fine by me either way.
GREAT GOD where's the beard?!
:D
Over-enthusiastic cleaning?
Wtf!? I’m first? I never come furst
that is what she said aha aha
Half of the words in your last sentence are spelled incorrectly.
Doug Owens thanks for noticing, now go crawl under your rock
@@marceldaigle5477 You offended bro? Maybe triggered? I have a crass joke in there, doubling down on yours... I'll give you the benefit of doubt, and simply assume it's lost on you because of text. But to still keep it cryptic, an alternative: you spelled come wrong.
Molto non troppo
Huh ?
I just run the shop vac at the end of each day, before I move the cars back into the garage. Hardly ever touch a broom.
That's funny. My dad showed me the same thing when I was about 12 and trying to help out around the shop. Thanks for reminding me about Dad lessons that have never left 50 years down the line.
I like to think of it like just snowplowing a lane to walk through. My Grandfather, who was a five dollar a day carpenter back in the 20's taught me how to sweep the same way. Good advice.
A good clean video.
I started masonry laboring the same time! 1984 for the win.
From one Canadian to another, I have always been amazed at how neat, orderly and clean your shop is. Must be an Ontarian thing. Have a great day!
