You started out in this RUclips business as a novice in both woodworking and presentation. I have watched presentations by people who obviously woodworking masters but the presentations were a pain to watch; the narrative done on the fly as they worked through the project, with excessive verbiage spent on some parts and some parts flown through with little or no explanation. While you woodworking and metal working abilities have become notable, the organization and clarity of your presentations comprise a "how-to-do-it" on technical presentation. When the RUclips thing slows down, like after you have shown us how to do everything there is to do, I think you could make a good living making presentations for all those sponsors you have and for other companies. I have enjoyed being educated on your channel.
: ) I feel so fortunate to have found not only one passion so young but two. Building and making is half of it but figuring out how to communicate the information/story of how I did it is another. I'm equally in love with both so it's very rewarding to hear your words on my presentation style, as most of the time, it's overlooked.
I agree 100%. I watch a lot of sailing videos, and it is often almost unbearable to listen to people document what they are doing as they are doing it. Those that combine voiceovers with some live dialog (i.e. funny sounds when sawdust is pulled from your hand) are the ones that do it the best in my opinion.
Keep up the great work April, I appreciate it very much. I doubt I'll ever install such a dedicated system, but it's nice to know the capabilities and effort required just to be sure :-)
I as well enjoy your videos as they are very informative in more ways than strictly technical. ie when you make a mistake which ,you gladly show, then more importantly to just keep moving forward. If you'd really like to take your video communication skills to the next level I'd like to suggest viewing Ishitani Furniture here on RUclips. He builds furniture and not a spoken word its all in the cinematography. Check it out over a morning cup of coffee or bath. Keep it up, I'm a fan.
This the thing I like most about your channel. Note: I started reading your blog first years back. I completely agree that there is a lack of good detailed instructions for the every day person. April your doing a great job.
I’ve only just found your channel after researching a wall mounted folding table. I’m now meandering through your videos and I just can’t get enough of them. Clear instructions, pointing out your issues and mistakes and showing us how to just do the basics.
Truly wonderful and what a workshop. Envious is not the word! Carry on.
Just finished installing the Clear Vue CV1800 1P! This thing is incredible! I got the installation manual too close to an open duct and had to fight to keep it from disappearing into the vortex. The CV folks were more than patient with all my questions before and during install. Great machine. Great customer service!
With the help of Mr. Pentz I build a Pentz cyclone for my shop back in 2005, it was the best thing I've done for my workspace.
Cheers from Tokyo!
I bought 2 of their older clear 5hp cyclones about 15 years ago for my work shop. They were more of a DIY kit back then. They were just plan awesome. I had to build my own filter setup back then, or I chose to.... Anyway the cyclone does such a great job separating out the dust that after 5 years of daily use I had no noticeable lose in airflow. I wish I still had access to a shop of that caliber. Congrats on getting an outstanding dust collection system, you will not regret this purchase.
April, I have virtually the same machine only mine is the clear plexiglass but has the same 5hp motor. I used PVC (because my wife wouldn't approve the metal ducting cost) and I couldn't be happier with the performance. It collects dust from 10 different saws, sanders and my CNC machine. What a pleasure to simply opening the various gates versus dragging a hose from machine to machine. Thanks for sharing....really love your shop!
April, even though i haven't always agreed with all your ideas, i think having the option to vent dust outside or send it through the filter inside is absolutely brilliant! I vent all the dust outside of my shop..no filters to buy and maintain. This works well for me as my relatively small shop here in UK is really easy to heat for free using a wood stove. Great DC system you've got : )
This is applicable to your whole building a shop series. This was really great! I appreciate all the detail you took the time to share with us, the good and the bad. Usually, one can learn from mistakes better than when something goes right and you showed all that. So many channels, perhaps in a quest for perfect production, stage everything so that it all goes right. While useful for demonstrating techniques, and I appreciate it for that purpose, it takes away from the reality of the woodworking situation, which is overcoming frustrations on nearly every project, in my experience. I'm going to be building my own shop in about a year or so, and I'll be thinking about your example throughout. I'm not going to do all the work like you did, but it will still be a daunting project! Thanks for the tremendous example!
The shop is looking more and more like a proper shop. I'm really happy that you are finally getting the shop you deserve. I hope that you have a great time with your shop for years to come.
Thanks for sharing and God bless
Is it weird that I still tear up (happy tears) at the end of your videos? I can only imagine the pride you must feel with each project. I agree, beautiful DC system! But knowing your journey to get you here makes each video a masterpiece. Love that you to keep taking us along for the ride with a story so well-told.
Thanks April. So far, I've been just using hand tools. Mostly I like the quiet nature and romance of it all. If I go with machine tools, the first purchase would be dust collection. I spent a significant amount of time researching which system. I think ClearVue is the best out there. Glad to see you choose it. Glad to see you put it outside and put a Y so you could vent directly outside. I like the new model. I am anxiously awaiting when they have the mini one back in stock so I can hook it up to my shop vac (on their email list for it).
I’m a newbie when I comes to woodworking and have really taken a liking to it and April is a main reason I have enjoyed it so much. Really enjoy her videos and look forward to taking on some porch swings for my home in the near future as she has a couple videos on it which make it so clear and precise it’s easy to replicate.
Coming full circle: It was the Harbor Freight make-shift dust collector video that got me subscribed to this channel. I'm happy to see how far you've come.
: ) Ha that's awesome. Thank you
Very impressive dust collection system. Actually, it's the best one I've ever seen.
Wow! What a great dust collection system! I loved seeing it clean out your table saw and how you put the filters inside your Yeti shop.
And the bonus is this system is so large if you get a blockage you can just send a small child up the pipe to clear it 😂
That's what all them dogs you see in the video are for! :)
Are you trying to say it could double as a baby sitter???? ;)
You may want to check your local laws regarding child labor.
rich10849 It's not labor, It's transportation ;)
Joe T well this is awkward...
Great job. Really pleased that you decided to recycle your conditioned air back to the shop while keeping most of the noise outside. I very much enjoy watching your presentations and the information they convey. Thank you
I have a clearvue 1800max in my shop. I leave 3 open 4" ports on it all the time and it still works great on whatever I'm hooking that 4th port to.
You can use metal hvac ducting for it. Cheaper than either pvc or nordfab and works just as well. Make sure you ground the D.C. Piping to prevent static and cnc problems if you have one.
Don't use a big collection barrel if you don't have a way to handle it. Only use what size you can handle.
Congratulations for your new dust collector, your workshop is looking better every time you put something new.
The shop is looking good April!
Many are not liking that AW is a success and adding a nice (and expensive) system in her shop. I, for one, am happy for AW that she is able to have such a nice dust collection system. If it was me, I would answer that door as well! Good job AW!
I tried to scroll on by some comments like I normally do but I can't help myself. So many whining about her big shop, nice toys, blah, blah, blah. April is great at explaining the "hows and whys" and she has an incredible passion for improving her skills. In the business world, that is an ingredient for success. There are plenty of channels that we can watch (and have watched) with someone building a drawer out of a chisel and saw. This is not one of them. It's not luck that got her where she is and her drive will only create more opportunities that will apparently only create more whining in the comments section. If you don't like, don't watch. Isn't that easy?
Damn this place is looking more and more industrial and it looks amazing!
Your new shop looks beautiful and functional. Clearly, having an idea of where you want your equipment located for good work flow and what systems each equipment requires gave you excellent results. P.S. Building a bigger workshop from scratch was a huge bonus.
Can't wait until this shop build is finished. I haven't been able to relate to you since this thing started. I love you and love your work. Go girl!
That is so super cool. It looks so good in your shop. I love how customizable it is. You must walk into the shop and just beam with pride. I love your videos.
I just found your channel last night and binge watched like 30 videos, I love your shop and i an so jealous! i have just a small shop and seeing this gives me so much inspiration. I love how you built your whole shop yourself, very amazing work!
Holy moly, that's a powerful system. I'm blown away by just how much it sucks...
it helps by having those 8" lines!
i hope her dogs don't play close to it.
Very cool! I love the tool-less (tool-lite) modularity of that system. You could have several bins on wheels for collecting various sized of wood chips and dust (because you can run production in there), even for collecting metal dust.
Congrats on your new system, April. A recommendation for you floor sweep if I may. The simplest and most effective sweep I've seen is a vertical pipe run that ends an inch or two from the floor with a blast gate a few feet up. Nowhere for debris to get stuck and blast gates are usually more airtight than floor sweep doors.
Ahhhh I love these videos. It's all far more expensive than anything I could ever do, but it's super fun to watch someone else.
OMG I really enjoyed watching your DC video especially since the electrical was just installed in my new shop and my next steps are laying out the ductwork and blast gates. So freaking excited!
it's about time I've been looking forward to seeing your dust collection system in the shop for a while congratulations it looks nice.
Saw this back when you first put in DC. Had to go back today to steal your outside mount process for my tiny garage shop build out. Thanks Again!
I recommend their mini cyclone. It's great, just goes on top of a 5 gallon bucket for collection, and connect it to a shop vac. Boom portable dust collection. I set one up at my old job. Went from using just a shop vac, too the mini cyclone with and a small air blower with a small filter.
What a nice, clean installation. I will soon be doing this too, but on a much smaller scale. 4" main since I've got the Harbor Freight collector which I modified with a Thein baffle and a cartridge filter to replace the inefficient cloth bag.
Loved seeing this unfold. Only just got my little 10' by 16' workshed 2 weeks ago.
I really love how your shop turned out. The painting at 9:12 is a nice touch. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Hi April, I like the duct work in your shop. It's awesome that metal ducting can be assembled so fast. Plus, it looks easy to move when the time arises, because we all know sooner or later we move equipment in our shops. I'll check out Clear Vue Cyclones too. I hope they offer a smaller 4" system also. Great Video April! Thanks for your hard work!
Awesome system, to most people it is a Pinter-workshop though. The sort of workshop you see on Pinterest, dream about but know you will never get. Great to watch your mega workshop and see you realize your dreams though April. So impressed by this channel and how you are progressing things.
Great idea about putting the filter inside the shop. I was about to put my DIY vortex system in an adjacent shed, but was worried about heat loss since I do 90% of my woodworking in the winter. It's so obvious when I saw it, but that's genius at work. Keep it up :)
April, I love your videos! They are so informative! I also am very envious of your shop and this new dc system looks absolutely awesome. I love how you are so hands on with your installs! Your a very big inspiration for me as one day I hope to have a shop similar with woodworking/metal fabrication and blacksmithing! Keep up the great work!- Russ
Your shop is the best I have seen to date, so proud of you and so very happy for you!
You Rock!
I always wanted to start wood working when I was younger. I grew up watching PBS this old house an new yankee workshop Norm the God lol. About two years ago I came across a video of a English man Chris harbor build a Cobb wood house then you an jay bates videos where below his so I started to watch and was hooked an inspired by you all.i have since spent a small fortune lol building my dreams and some for others along the way. Keep up the great videos April your my favorite cause you show your mistakes that we all make an fix them
Your shop is looking amazingly awesome. Love being able to tag along with the updates.
I love your videos, they are simple and very practical. You just earned another sub! Keep up the good work April.
Very cool 😎! And it is very pretty. When you first unwrapped it on your workbench, I thought you were going to hug it - I would have! ❤️
You just save me some money April with that coupon code I was planning on buying the clearvue 1800 tomorrow! Great timing.
Perfect timing. ; )
I'm currently building some automated blast gates.... it's such a great improvement! 👍
I envy the size of your shop. So much free space that you can run circles with your hands extended between each machine. My garage is maybe 1/4 of that space and there is a lot of other stuff, not just wood-working tools. I look forward you willing that up with more tools.
Girl, your dream shop is coming together! Can’t wait to see how it looks when you finish it!
Awesome.. Its amazing how you have grown your business. Proof of how hard work and determination can be successful!
Hello Ms. April, I don't believe I have commented on your channel before so if you will allow me a few lines, I will try not to make a fool of myself :-)You are simply amazing !! I have followed you for a long while and your videos get better exponentially. Your attention to detail, camera angles and most importantly your explanation of the project. Absolutely love your style of sitting while explaining and simultaneously showing video of the project. 99% of my RUclips viewing is How To videos and the only other person who even comes close to explaining a project as well as you do is Louis Sauzedde at the Tips from a Shipwright . Most YTbers are to busy overthinking what they are doing or stumbling to find words compared to your smooth well thought out explanations. You even sound great plugging a sponsor which no one seems to be able to do seamlessly. I have already told my wife.... My shop will be like Aprils and of course I got the " Sure honey" reply....One of my Fav videos was the back gate you made out of wood and metal with the bowtie inserts. Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your adventure, your projects and please don't stop anytime soon. :-)PS: That Dust Collection System ROCKS !!!!
Wow, you’ve gone way beyond most home DIY’rs. Must be nice to have those sponsors...
Damn, now I want to go throw a rock at my shop vac !
Nice! Seeing this makes me think it would be much quieter if the parts outside were isolated from the wall. That is one huge resonating surface. I'll definitely keep this in mind when I get to build my own.
Such an awesome work space evolving into an even more awesome work space April😊
Have to admit I am a tiny bit jealous but then I remind myself you have worked very hard for what you are creating so my green eye envy disappears 😉👍👍👍👍
About closing or opening your blast gates, you should be able to leave open five to six 3" lines at all times or four 4" lines at all times because of the power and setup you have. It won't suck as much dust (obviously when compared to only 1 or 2 open lines) but it should be sufficient to keep the shop clean.
That is fantastic!, What a neat unit to install, definitely a fitting unit for the April-Mahal, just when I think the shop can't be cooler, you prove me wrong again, thanks!
love watching you build and evolve your shop keep building and inspiring builders. you make me want to start this as a hobby soon
I remember a few years ago you installed a dust collection system in your old shop. I think it was from Harbor Freight. Geez, April, you've come a long way. And so has your talent. -->Ric
That new unit looks fantastic.
Good job April! The shop is really coming together.
Congrats on the new DC system!!!! It looks super in the shop!!
Man, that is a cool looking system! Congrats, April!
Very nice system, and I totally agree about the final look when installed, looks great !
Keep up the great work! I appreciate the time you have put in to making these videos!
You should get Bob from I Like To Make Stuff to help you with automating the gates with motors and arduinos!! This would be an awesome collab!!!!
AxMxProductions I thought the same exact thing!!
The collab of a LIFETIME
Way to go April, looks like an excellent system and install. Thanks for sharing.
nice system, April. Your shop is coming along.
April is awesome. Talented and complete professional
Just a tip on your outdoor dust collector.
Adding an insulated enclosure around it will reduce outdoor noise as well as reduce heat loss in from the exposed vacuum tubes.
I don't know how much you will loose, but in the winter time during those sub zero temp drops, you will notice the difference.
Well, maybe more so in your heat bill than indoor comfort.
Just make sure the access door for the collection barrel allows for easy removal and replacement.
Good looking shop, keeps getting better every video.
Another great video! 😃👍
Awesome system April. Great job, looks fantastic!
I agree with you April...it is beautiful!
This work space is looking pretty sweet and smexy! Great job! Keep doing what you love! Cheers!!!
Amazing system and as you say very industrial looking but beautiful with the silver look. Thank you for sharing your amazing video. God bless you and your family
At 9:16 if that vent pointing straight down isn't used yet, you could bring it down to about 1 to 1.5 inches from the ground and if sawdust is on the floor, a push broom could sweep it to that vent and be gone with the floor sawdust. Not sure if that was thought of but would be a cool idea. Also if you do welding in the other side and the doors are closed, possibly during welding in winter, you could use that to suck up the "smoke" that you get while welding. I would love to have a shop like that. I'm hooked on these videos!
I am so jealous of your entire set up. Keep up the videos. They are a great inspiration. Hopefully some time in 2020 after my next deployment I can start my shop. However I don't think it's going to be anywhere near this size. Thinking 24X32 if the budget allows.
April, I've enjoyed your videos for a while. This is a good one. There are a few minor changes I might suggest and could spend a lot of time responding to some of the comments which sound logical, but are not accurate. Well done!
The dream! God bless you the shop looks awesome sending love all the way from Australia 🇦🇺❤️🤜🏼🤛🏼
That's a nice system. Your shop is really coming together.
Very nice 👍 I found out when planning the 55 gallon drum fills up pretty quick
Great video
Looks great,I would add a hard line down from the ceiling for the one going to the table saw..looks like it flex a good bit....but all in all a very nice setup
You shop is definitely coming along. You give me hope that one day I can get a decent sized shop.
Great video. It is pretty installation.
If you don't want the complexity of automated blast gates, you could rig up a handle at a convenient height on the wall, and run a long rod upto the blast gate to operate it via the handle. Automated blast gates linked to the machine below would be cool though.
That's awesome! Nice vid, April!
That is a beast !
Should last for many years.
Wow looks amazing. Things are really coming together for the shop
That is amazing!! I didn't even know they came that big. Congrats!
You look as happy as my daughter in Christmas, congratulations !!
Awesome DC April, so happy for you!
Love what you do, & so wish I had my own workshop like this here in Australia. If only I had the space.
April, the shop is shaping up great. You have been very forward thinking as to your approach to making the shop and you, at the very least, need to be commended. ............ And you still need a ladder to bump your head.
Great Job April. it's still intimidating with all the machinery
Hey April! Must be a great feeling to know your shop inside and out, and every inch of it, too. Awesome job ;-)
as always..I can't blink when watching a video of yours... when you'd make projects that we can make too? miss those days copying your woodworking so much ♥
Great dust collector April! looks like it works good' Thanks for sharing the video.👍😎JP
Oh how exciting to finally get the dust collector up and running.... wondered when this video was coming
Would definitely recommend a floor sweep if you can, didn't know how handy they could be until I started work in a shop with them, now I never look back.
Excellent and great solution. Nice to see it. So thanks for your Video 👍🏻 Best regards Peter from P.S. Werkstatt
