The walnut knob against the white is just the right touch… Classic and clean 'Darbin Orvar' design! Very cool Linn:)
Joe
+homesteadonomics Thanks Joe, I thought the walnut was a good woodworking touch :)
I've been using a similar fume extractor for a couple of years now. I got to admit though, that it is one of the few things in my shop, that I actually didn't make myself :D. I was lazy back then and bought it for around 30€. But your fume extractor is much more beautiful and also way quieter! I think it's really cool, that you have decided to go into electronics as well :). I love your channel. Please keep on doing whatever you like!
+The Post Apocalyptic Inventor Thanks, I am a big fan of your channel too!
+The Post Apocalyptic Inventor I just read this in your voice..... I think I need a break.
Great idea to use the booster rather than find / build a 24V supply. Keeping all supplies to 5V or 12V really helps keep things simple - if a supply ever dies, there's always a spare around somewhere!
+Tim Lissimore Thanks Tim!
This is only the second video I've watched of yours and I'm very impressed. When I build mine I will probably follow your plan with one exception: I will scale the box to a standard filter or a ratio of the filter size (.25, .5, etc. 'cause I'm laz-, er, time efficient) so that I don't have to cut it. I'll also have it accessible from the outside without having to remove so much to get at it. Maybe a simple frame in front, with a single screw to replace it. But, I have to admit, this filter is not just functional, it is a very beautiful piece of work.
That was very cool. I wonder if you could modify where the filter goes by making slots and a kind of frame around the the filter, then have a slot at the bottom that you could then insert the filter and make for easier filter replacement rather than having to take it apart to change out the filter. I think this project and your Bluetooth speaker will have to be put on my projects list. Thanks so much for these videos.
I did something almost exactly like this in high school but with a much bigger old speaker box that i sealed and with a clear plastic lid and a remote activated electric lighter and smoking and exhaling device. With a vouple of fabric softener sheets in between the fans for good measure. Worked well and several people loved it. I was very proud and mostly it was a lot of fun.
..nicely done, and a great project for the shop. Exhausting fumes from soldering is important for safety.........love your work.
+Rick L Thanks Rick!
"at various stages confirm that everything works" that is a hard lesson that has to be learned by everyone building circuits! Nothing more frustrating than to have to undo a finished project because of simple fix that you didn't catch on the way!Fun little project, thanks for sharing!
I really like that little hot glue clamping trick! I will definitely try that next time!
You said you wanted it to look like a speaker. Thats exactly what i will pick up and be mounting the electronics in. Great job it looks very nice.
This would also be great for my pyography projects. A modification could be installing the box on the end of a gooseneck lamps arm to have an adjustable fume extractor. I never have enough room on my workbench when I am doing a soldering project so the arm can be adjusted over my work. Loving your electronic woodworking mashups.
+Webbed Toed Workbench That's a cool idea!
Wow, your projects are so aesthetically pleasing in addition to being well designed. Nicely done! I just watched about 15 fan videos and yours has got to be the nicest looking one.
I like it. Perfect for a solid-state workstation or even where you paint and stain.
+Zerkbern Thanks, that would be a great use too!
That soldering iron tip has really seen better days!
Linn, i suggest using a water born lacquer with sealer for painting MDF. I recently built my own kitchen and used this for my doors. I used a cheap Rockler HVLP sprayer and did 3 light coats with sanding in between, and you get a professional looking finish. The first coat of lacquer also seals the edges of the MDF. Just a suggesting for future projects with MDF. Thanks for the great video!.
+lsdave Thanks! I have been wanting to try just such a finish!
Really elegant solution for solder fumes! Love the walnut knob touch. Well done, great video..again!
+JD Worx Thanks, I agree that a little real wood goes a long way!
thanks for the idea i followed youre design and used an old speaker that wasnt working any more and made it out of that and then i made a base to go on it so i can aim the extractor to my work this was made with a simple piece of metal bent in a u shape and used som screws with butterfly nuts to tight it in the angle i wanted
if i was better with cameras i would post a video
Like your idea. An old speaker could be used to avoid the woodwork - change the speaker grille for the charcoal filter.
An old 19.5V laptop power supply could be used to run the 24V fan. Thanks for the video.
+Steven Heaton That is a good idea, you can use a laptop power supply. Thanks!
I discovered today your channel and now I can't stop watching them! Clever ideas an very nice done videos! Congratulations! Now you and DIY Perks are my two favourite channels for DIY projects :)
Excellent as usual, Lynn. I just gave my son a box full of PC fans, various fixed and adjusta le pots an a bunch of switches. Maybe he'll make me a fume extractor. ☺
Lucky son😆 Can I have one too?
Sorry, Ted. He got'em all. I'm out of the PC rebuilding/scavenging business now.
Fixed potentiometer = resistor ;)
Great idea. I really like the contrasting colors and materials. Form and function. They come together nicely.
+July With Fitz Thank you! I really wanted something that looked really nice in addition to being practical.
Awesome project. I would like to do a steampunk version with brass and maybe a crystal doorknob for the turning mechanism.
+Edward Iglesias Sounds pretty cool :)
That's a cool vacuum thing on your X-carve
It looks nice. Love the contrast of the knob!
+Bruce A. Ulrich Thanks Bruce, it needed a little classic :)
I'm a sucker for walnut.
Очень круто! Даже не верится что это сделала хрупкая девушка!
I love it. I think I'll mod something like that into my electronics workbench. You should use PWM instead of the pontentiometers, though - you'll get quite some loss here and the pots might get rather warm on low speeds.
+Gregor Ottmann Thanks, I was working on a pwm switch I made using the arduino, but this was just a lot quicker.
Nice finish! at first I was concerned by the pressure drop through the filter but 2 24V, that's power! Once I made a similar arrangement with 2 scrap fans in parallel and since they were not exactly equal, one was dragging the other and it was not so efficient. Yours looks good!
+Cactus! workshop Thanks, the two fans do put out a lot of volume!
@2:37 I was like "aaah, no, not cutting into the bench!" haha. Besides that, really smooth design, you could name it the iExtractor
Make sure to remove the input port ;)
Exactly what I thought haha My heart stopped :D
Your work is awesome with all your handy machines you use.
I recognize some of those Radio Shack parts and tools. RIP, Radio Shack.
Great Job! Nice choice of music... I am pretty fond of it myself.
+Summers Woodworking Thanks Brian!
Вы супер мастер Лин, на все руки!!!! Спасибо за видео удачи и успехов Вам!!!
+василий шленкин Thanks!
Great idea!! Can prob use this idea for welding too, in a bigger capacity. Loving all your stuff lately. You've really branded yourself nicely. Keep it up.
+Matt Diresta Thanks so much Matt, I really appreciate that!
@@darbinorvar To which terminal do you connect the green wire on the booster and the blue potentiometer. Also, to which terminal(pin) does the 3k ohm resister is jumped to, from the negative wire, to the blue potentiometer, is it to(negative pin)?
Very nice project. Though to make soldering easier for yourself - hold the iron to the two parts that needs to be joined and then introduce the solder to the now heated joint. Soldering like shown in the video is harder to do and yields bad connections, as the flux in the solder is burned off before you get to the joint.
Great idea, the hot glue/yellow glue is a nice trick, thx for sharing!
+Connie van der Walt Thanks for watching!
Elegant & important: fumes irritate my eyes, throat & skin, far better when they are removed.
+Springwood Cottage Thanks, I completely agree!
Congratulations! Very nice design. I would try to build one and put in my desktop.
+Dani Macaya Masferrer Thanks, send a photo if you do :)
I would try to. But your design is really nice. Probably I would try to copy it.
Nice job a good idea, I like that it can be a desk fan as well.
+Mike Fulton Thanks Mike!
Darbin Orvar...very very impressive work...Keep it up!!
This is awesome. Nice work!
If I can just raise my 2c worth. look into PWM controllers. Using a PWM controller, you can control the speed, without loosing torque on your motors. They will have the same turning power, but just turn slower. for the fans, your solution is perfect. If your motors are doing any work, pwm might be better. Something like a magnetic stirrer used in labs. the motors needs to carry some neoridium magnets. in that case pwm is a much better solution.
by lowering the voltage, the motors might work a little harder, which might reduce the life span.
I really enjoyed your video very much, and although your skill in making something that looks so nice. I am useless at making things but I'm very interested infiltration , I worry that you don't have effective filtration for particle or chemical.
+James Swale Thanks James!
I had an idea of making a Desktop Gaming PC with Hepa or Carbon filters so it can also double as an air purifier.
Probably adding 2x 200mm fans in front.
Now that would be wild XD
Love it Linn, especially the fan adjustment . Will try to make one my own.
I love your piece :), not a tool but skill makes you good solderer.
This is awesome and I was about to establish my own small workstation for electronic repairs This is perfect for it :D
excellent video - great idea for a woodworking electronicy crossover!
+Adam Smith Thanks so much Adam!
Good idea for a project, Linn. A bigger version would be great for workshop dust ( if the shop wasn't outside ;-) ) Well done. Troy
+secondwind75 I have been thinking about building something to hang on the beams to do just that!
+Darbin Orvar Linn, I made one once. I got a small A/C filter and built a box around it. I used 6 fans, a computer power supply, and a computer fan controller I got online. A little overkill I admit but man could it pull some air! ;-) I mainly used it for power carving. Would love to see your version. Troy
Great project. Should get plenty of use.
cool project. not really sure how I stumbled on you but am subscribing. Just up the road an hour and a half from you. Little surprised, thought I was viewing main land Sweden. Nice to watch a fellow Oregonian
Awesome project Linn. Cool to see you add these type of projects to your channel. Keep it up. Douglas
+RetroWeld Thanks Douglas!
+King JD Thanks! Yes, they are affiliate links, and I appreciate the support!
Nice project Linn! really like the way you approached this.
Just a tip maybe, you can get heat schrink tubing in any size and this will really help to clean up the cable mess that is coming with every electronics project! also soldering by putting the tin directly onto the soldering point and then connecting the wires is a cause for brittle connections. (you mentioned wires coming loose) because the flux and resin inside the tin evaporates (that is the smoke mostly) causing the tin to be brittle. better to wrap the wire onto the contact and then heating it with the soldering iron when its hot applying the tin. then it can flow and the flux is there were it needs to be ensuring a good stable contact.
Just to be sure I am not doubting your skill, you do things I can' t do with wood so I hope you do not find this an example of bad criticism. I just hope it helps! I really like you show and hope you keep bringing great projects!
+Paul Avesaath Thanks! I did not see a reason to use heat shrink on this since I used some electrical tape.
Wooow perfect wood design 👌
Very nice project well done.
Hubert, Germany
+Hu “cillyede” Ko Thanks!
Very nice Linn. I was planning to do something like this to use in my pyrography project. I have 4 220v vents, and the idea of reducing power is simply great and suits my needs well :)
+Riccardo Benussi I have never done pyrography, but it sounds pretty interesting.
+Darbin Orvar i'm sure if you give it a try you'll love it ;)
What a brilliant idea Linn thanks for sharing!
+andy bell Thanks Andy!
One question, and one request:
1) Can you suggest a method for cleanly cutting MDF (I keep ending up with ratty edges)?
2) I'd love to see a video covering one (or three) methods for cheaply, easily (for those that don't have access to a lot of tools), build boxes for project enclosures, maybe if you ever have a slow week?
Thanks!
If you really want you can make it out of cardboard, wouldnt less aslong as this one but it'll do the trick for the price :)
That looks great. You should add some design to it.
Thank you for Sharing.
Love it Linn. I think I might make me a few of them. I'll keep one and give the rest of them as gifts.
Take care and be safe.
Thanks for sharing
Roy
+Roy Wrenn Thanks Roy, I think they would make great gifts!
Nice build ! Loved the finished product. The boost convertor is over kill and huge !! you should have gone with smaller XL6009 Module which also cheaper :) Thanks for posting the video.
Darbin Orvar,i love you and your work
Excellent, subscribed yesterday and already watched most of your videos.
I am totally building myself one of these. Totally. :) Well done, Linn.
+Jim Fancher Thanks Jim!
Great job! + You could add an negative ion generator inside like mood booster.
You got a subscriber.
Nice and clean Linn, really like it!
Really nice, I wonder if computer fans are strong enough if you add a HEPA filter.
You should put a small put a small speaker in there so you can listen to music while you work, if you decide to make it portable :D
+Jordan O'C (Xenro66) And a time machine!!
love the way you explain the project didn't know about till I watch maker so now I am your in subscription
This is a great tutorial! You need more exposure. I found your channel thanks to Make. Keep up the good work
+pandaManda22 Thanks, I agree ;)
I made an air purifier a few weeks ago and it works great, but I must admit Linn your version looks a lot less industrial than my version I may have to retro- fit a similar surround ...
+ryzo mcgregor Industrial can look pretty cool though :) Function > Form
Boy that works well, I think just about any of us could use one of these! Thanks for the video! Great work again Linn!!! :)
I really like your videos, my question about this one, why not just get some old second speakers to adapt?
I really enjoyed this video, eventhoug i have no real interest in building this its a great idea! Well executed! :)
+Robin Larsson Thanks Robin!
i like your projects.GOD bless you keep on working
nice tutorial but who adds good quality walnut to cheap mdmf if I was using walnut I would have gone the extra mile to use proper oakwood or some nice wood for the main frame other than that it's a pretty cool tutorial but for the knob I would have made a concrete knob as it has a nice cold touch and weight to it
WOW. looks great too! gonna try building one of these!
You are smart and beautiful .. good job .
Good vid!!!
Ended up very pretty!
The fume extractor looks good too!
Mycket intressant projekt Linn! Riktigt bra!
+Fredrik Redhe Tack sa mycket!
Hmm, Du Linn du måste nästan vara från Sverige, fint projekt i alla fall. satsar till 100 att du är från Sverige
Can you please provide a diagram for your wiring? I'm trying to replicate it based on your explanation alone and pausing the video but the jumbled wires in the paused frame make it difficult to do so.. Otherwise thanks for this idea! It looks great and polished which has inspired me to attempt to do the same
Awesome job..How smart and beautiful you are Darbin..Keep it up
Greetings from Russia .Gadget ,I'm subscribed.
Cool nicely done, opinion wat about using usb as power since there's a lot of them every where now a days & u can use it in ur car as well
+lolo ent You could, but in my setup you need at least 12 volts and usb can only deliver 5v.
Excellent, I like the speed control!
won't changing the filter be trick? there isn't much space, and you've glued in the support!
"tricky", I mean.
Really nice. :) I made one in a plastic box. LOL
I really like your videos, I just get lost when it comes to the wiring/electronic components, as I know nothing about it. could you go into detail about the companents, what they are, what they do, and how to connect it all?
+michael wilson Thanks Michael, most of the time I try not to get into too much detail about things like electronics, or any technique on my main channel. When I go into more depth it is usually on my second channel DarbinNotes.
+Darbin Orvar thank you, immediately subscribed. ;)
Very nice and functional!
I love your projects!
Thanks John!
Hi Lynn. I stumble capon your channel today and I found it both interesting and entertaining. It is refreshing to see people shearing their skills with others. I am a Carpenter& joiner by trade. I'm retired now with time on my hands!. I am very interested in your work and would.like to incur-age you to keep learning and shearing your knowledge and experience with us all. I have a couple of questions if you din't mind me asking you.What C&C machine are you using and what software program are you running with it. What are you taught's on the machine and software. What are it's limitations if any you found with it!
I thank you inadvertence and Keep op the good work.
With kindest regards.
Mike from Ireland
I like your projects!
I love to do things myself.Nice work keep it up.
Wisper fan brand are the best for less noise.
Really cool idea, great work
+GenosetScentia Thanks!
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
+The College Woodworker Thanks!
i like the look of it
I really like your videos
I know you are a carpenter/craftsman Linn but are you also an Engineer too? I really enjoy your videos.
Are there any circuit diagrams for this build?? Would love to have a go but i'm having trouble working out the Voltage adjustment :)
Is there anything you cannot do ?
Love your work !
+Arduino Basics Thanks, love your channel too!
