      I think it can be done poorly and done well, but I'm still working on the balance of too much versus just changing up the video here and there. My videos end up being really long so far. But yeah, some of my earlier videos are music disasters 😂 I'm gonna leave them up so I can see how I improve over time.
      Great build on this and I agree 💯 that your style fits well and the video was very enjoyable to watch!

I started small with flea market 2nd hand and harbor freight tools and just made them work. Even today I'm still a sucker for a good deal a quality vintage tool. This is a hobby for me, as is my old car, so I have to balance the hobby want, the the realistic need. Hope you back gets better my wife struggles with hers.

    i made mine for a shop about 20 years ago from a squirrel cage fan for a hvac system . it was a side dump instead of bottom dump the top flange was wider then the unit and i screwed it directly to the truss joist above and i used hepa filters . same concept very low cost. i made a sanding table as well that sucked the air through 1/2" holes in the top . doubled as a out feed for other tools in the shop

    Funny thing is I have a fan similar to that. It’s a wind tunnel even on low. I bought it because I kept wearing out plastic fans keeping me cool when on sleep. Turn out it is useless for that because it’s too loud.
    So it’s just been sitting around collecting dust. And now I can repurpose it so that it can sit around and collect dust. 😊

Without having to bend the metal pieces every time.

    Greetings to you and anyone else here reading. This is a novel concept and very well executed. Minimum Materials, efficient slotted design and the hanging system allows for vibration isolation.
    There is just one issue, and it comes into view when you consider your Garage as the system, an not your Fan by itself.
    1. The suction force at filters is 1/4 the Output force. So the churning of the air is dominated by the Fan's downwash.
    1b. Your fan blows downward from the middle of the Garage, PUSHING dust to the edges of your where more likely than not, there are shelves. Once at these edges the air is forced to rise up and come around the top into the filters. During this "rise", heavier particles that may be swept up from the floor will be shed along the shelving on the garage's edges. So over time you are going to have build up of dust under shelves and on shelves.
    2. The location of the filters is at a height where it is incapable of trapping larger, heavier particles.
    Suggestions: A redesign of the enclosure is required. With 3 filters and fan blowing backwards. into the back of the garage. Bottom and Top closed. This would "Lift up the air from the middle (where most dust is created) and push outwards the larger dust on the floor from the back wash waterfalling down.

    • @TheSuburbanGarageWorkshop
      @TheSuburbanGarageWorkshop  2 года назад

      Thanks for your comments. Folks can choose to mount this in different orientations if they choose. For me, I want this to double as a ceiling fan. So in my garage it works pretty effectively.

    • @williambanas2831
      @williambanas2831 Год назад +1

      I agree about having the fan blow upward. I want to push the warm/heated air at the ceiling to the walls and down in winter. I'm not concerned about the large particles, I can vacuum those up. I am concerned about the small particles that I breathe.

    I enjoyed this… It’s nice to see folks like yourself ‘making thing work’ as a genuine hobbyist/homeowner with less than our ‘dream tools’. I’m primarily a hand tool guy, but also must work with the 10” bandsaw, a benchtop drill press, etc… I’ll be buying a 14” bandsaw this year, but that’s taken a while to save for and I’ve put plenty of thought into if it’s a need or a nice to have. I have quite a bit of money sunk into my hand tools, but take a more spartan approach otherwise; think of it as an 80/20 mindset. I enjoy taking the tool to the timber and working in the silence that it brings, the other 20% falls into things I have to do to get back to things I want to do. In my case the investment in a nice bandsaw will address safety and also open up windows into doing many things that take far too long right now (like hand resawing). So it will fall more into the 80% category. Im not sure if I adequately articulated why I appreciate your channel, but you surely did get a new subscriber with “all” checked on notifications. I’m still going to watch Shannon Rogers, Bob Roskowski, Mitch Peacock, and the like for sure, but I’m looking forward to seeing your new videos while catching up on your other videos. IMO, don’t worry about the length of the video. I appreciate thinking through it with you. 👍

    I like the idea, one suggestion is even though you're using locking washers to hold the nut I would maybe suggest adding a nylon nut as added safety. In case by some odd chance the vibration loosen the nuts from the lock washers. Nylon nut would less likely vibrate loose.

      The coarse debris tends to fall out of the air. It's the small particles that act more like a gas than a solid that linger in the air. That's what you breath in. A good cyclone dust collector is also a great help.

      I think you did a great job and clearly put some thought into it. I've been pondering making something like this and was wondering if a box fan would be as effective as your Lasco fan. One concern I had is that by having the fan face downward instead of outward that it would disperse any sawdust underneath it on your work area. I'm also not convinced that any weather stripping would provide any significant benefit since the filters will be sucked in when running.

      @TheSuburbanGarageWorkshop First, nice craftsmanship. Now I am wondering how well this works ... for example you close your doors and route MDF loading the air with particles measure how long to scrub air. Other thing I have a Jet scrubber hanging from my cieling and it has louvers to direct the air. I would be curious how you unit preforms compared to those you buy and how performance would vary with different filters and of course how long filters last. Would there be a benefit directing discharge air, for example if you could not mount it in middle of your shop.
      A dirty shop is not fun to work in ... Good project.

    Thank you so much! I had started gathering everything for such a project before this video and evidently don't picture designs well, so it is waiting to be done. The only difference for mine is that I all of the filters are large which will result in a monster air purifier. 🥴. I appreciate your instructions and clean video.

    Very likable material. This is something that allows this old dinosaur to step up. This would be great for keeping the air in a basement cleaner when we remove dust from the HVAC ducts. Compliments the masking and diminishes concentration...

    Awesome build. Just one note, as a guy who's had a house burn to the ground due to extension cord, I'd find a way to hard wire that.

    Just started making mine. I used a 2" hole saw for the radii. Very little sawdust and by not quite going through on the first pass I was able to flip the panels and use the hole saw drill bit hole to realign the second pass. And no chip outs.

    I think that you might used too much screws but the design is very good indeed. I have see some other videos but this one it the one which I will use to make one for my woodworking workshop. Thanks a take an extra cup of coffee as reward for giving us those tips. 👊
