Man I love how relatable the building process is to almost all DIY people. Fantastic job and video. Keep it up man! Can't wait to see the next project!!!
Trial and error is how many of us learn... or get defeated. Pushing forward to completion is how we learn. Your cart really looks like a useful shop tool, and looks good at the same time.
Hi Super duper video(1st time viewer)I’m currently swapping a 12x20 storage shed into a wood shop. I have an abundance of many decades of living that I’m organizing, all of this is very helpful to assist in keeping it clean and thus safe. Great comments from your other viewers. You’re all good. Humor is quite enjoyable while it’s very obvious we all like to take part in this craft, and none of us are perfect. I happen to love the part that you refer to your sketch. I draw all the time putting ideas that I want to build into a book and even if we don’t use every detail on paper, it’s just to get the project materials in order and get the build off to a quick start. Hence hopefully saving time and waste. You all keep up the good work and look forward to watching more entertaining videos-GODSPEED
Hello again, Forgot one point I wanted to make. How about a sight gauge, or visual inspection glass rather than constantly opening cyclone dust collector to see level. Being familiar with heavy equipment, I know it works for hydraulic oil. Concept seems to me, “wood” work for dust collector. I will have to give it a chance when I build my cyclone. Could be just a small round fabricated plexi, or a tube running vertically at the upper portion of container. Good thing, it’s not enough pressure to destroy anything or cause a problem of any significance without properly reinforcing. Stay good
@@hwystr1550 Appreciate the kind words, feedback and solid idea! Unfortunately my shop vac bit the dust (ha) and my new vac won't fit in this carcass. So I'll likely build an updated v2.0 at some point 🤔 Thanks for watching!
"Making sure have all your limbs..." Best quote in the video. 😂🤣 Like the idea of this build. I'm also thinking of making a vertical cart for my vac and separator setup. Thanks for the design ideas and video. Also nice to see someone who leaves their "oops" in. Looked exactly like my typical days in the shop, knocking things over. 😎👍
Great video and cart. Well done.....and now I have 'another project'....LOL I will say this your cart shows more options and gives the viewer a lot of reminders.... "what about this? what about some usb ports" - great one so you can recharge your phone right next to you!!! I like your extension cord unit that you found. I used to have some similar on different job sites, that was basically a wind up heavy duty extension cord wheel, mounted on a stand and 4 outlets on the stand. Keep up the good work.
I'm 3 years late to this video, but just wanted to say that this is one of the best video's I've watched in a while. Honesty, humor, interesting ideas, solutions to problems, good mix of presentation styles, etc. You sir deserve more subscribers, including me.
Shelf cleat goes at the "top" either on the level of the shelf or preferably above it. you add a spacer at the bottom ( where your cleat is now) so that the shelf remains level - or double cleat also works. - then you won't have the shelf stability problem - with the French Cleats, think "hanging from " not "standing on " the cleat. Awesome concept and nicely executed and for sure a great adventure along the way.
You have to get 5 stars for persistence. Final looks great. Glad you put all the mistakes in. It shows you are a normal woodworker. Keep it up, looking to see more from you
you might try turning your vac sideways and run the hose up the side. that might give you enough slack in the hose to open the lid while hooked up. like the design!!!! always thought popping the lid off and on was a lot of trouble, also lifting the bucket out of a hole at the top of the unit would be a pain!
Thank you! That's a good call! Believe it or not I almost did that, inspired by a dust collector by 'SEB TECH DIY' where he actually back-lit the entire thing which I thought was brilliant. I opted for the orange because... I like orange 😄 it's so easy to check and I imagined I would empty it pretty infrequently. Maybe that'll change if I worked a little harder 😅 Thanks for watching!
Cool design. I had the same balance problem with a similar cart. I ended up mounting castors on two parallel 2x4s that extended a few inches further back and moved castors rearward. Cart was more stable, though slightly taller. Thanks again!
So an interesting thought, you don't need to make the bucket a full size 5 gallon bucket since you've cut it already. cutting like 2 inches off the top, making it a 3 gallon bucket, may have gotten the initial hose to fit without any adapters, and shortened the whole assembly, making it take up even less space
Love this vac cart! I use the Dustopper in my shop as well because I like the low-profile vs the other cyclones. I've been running into the same issues with always tripping over hoses and cords and needing more storage space, so this is a win-win. Also, I can't tell you how many times I cracked up watching this video, ha! Hope to see more soon! - Joe
Thanks for including the comic relief tip-over portion. Up until that part, the build was going much too smoothly. Nice job overall - quite functional and adaptable.
I really liked your video, not for just the dust collector (I hate dust too) but you have a great personality. On a side-note, I couldn’t help thinking that if you end up needing work, you could always use your skills to make toilets for outhouses or baby cradles. 😁Incidentally, I came up with the toilet idea before you mentioned what your friend said about it looking like a toilet. 😅
Really love the great ideas you added here. I hadn't thought about the need for cord management, though this would be important for my small shop where I use one shopvac for everything.
So I need something like this for job sites that is portable. Super nice job. I’ve looked and looked for a lightweight portable system to carry from construction site to construction site. Weight kills the back so always looking for ways to keep the overall weight of tools down.
HA nice outtake! New sub! Stumbled across you this evening and watched your videos. Love your real approach, btw, makes me feel not-so-alone in those "opps" moments lol. It's cool to catch you early on in your YT life. It'll be even cooler to watch you dominate. Thanks for the ideas and the entertainment. Hurry up and post more... we're all ready for it! :)
Subscribed. Glad I found your channel and I appreciate you sharing the setbacks along the way. Very cool cart. I plan to build something similar on my channel in the near future.
Well done! I really like your ingenuity, and how are you portray the ups and downs of inventing on the fly. I’m looking forward to your next video. What do you have planned?…
I've now found that dust collection videos are as prevalent on RUclips as cat videos. I think maybe cyclone dust bucket woodworking videos are more popular than any video in the history of RUclips. Every person who has a RUclips channel, also has a "how to make a dust collection" video. It's unreal how many videos you can watch. However, this is one of the best ones I've come across. Very inspiring design, I'm only half way through. I absolutely love the lid. I didn't understand why people make the lids so complicated with complex gaskets, when a vacuum moves extremely high CFM and very low pressure? One thing I'm disappointed about. Not your channel specifically. But watching various woodworking channels, it appears thry are all using Titebond 1. The the worst glue. When it dries, it shrinks so much that it disappears and it's not rated for moisture. The amount of money spent on wood and tools is $50,000, then people use $25 glue instead of $38 glue. It makes no sense. Titebond 3 dries more like epoxy, it cures into a rock hard resin, it doesn't shrink and disappear into nothing. The amount of hours, time, dado cuts, pocket screws, and all the jigs needed to make something. It should at least have the best glue.
Great job. I appreciate your occasional frustration and the lack of squareness you had to overcome. How does that happen anyway when we are so careful?? Thank for a fun and educational video!
Hahahahahaha. Nice video man. Nice to see you posting videos. It’s been awhile since your last video. As always entertaining and learning some new things. Thanks for the vid and hope to see more vids in the future. God bless you.
Thanks man! Think I'm finally starting to get in a grove with filming and editing so hoping to increase the frequency from here. Next video should be dropping in the next week or two 🤙
Nice build. I do not see the switch that turns on the vacuum cart when a tool comes on. I may add one of those to mine. I built a similar cart about 2 years ago. Now tearing it down to make a few changes / improvements. I'll come back to this with a pic when I get finished.
You’re right I didn’t call that out very well! Its the black box @ 10:10 in the video. It’s great but a bit tedious having to swap out the cords each time a new tool needs power. I may find another solution or dedicate it to a single tool in the future. Please do share photos!
@@ModernRemade In process of adding a second, more convenient on off switch and streamlining the look a bit. I also want to replace the plastic hose from vac to dustopper with a metal tube, made from exhaust pipe at the local muffler shop. I'll send you some pics. Not nearly as slick as Frank Howarth's Frankenvac, but to me it's cool and very very useful.
This is great! Love the sanding gear on the reverse. Just a thought, if you turned the vac sideways, would the hose fit through the side of the cart to avoid having to remove it to empty the bucket?
Thank you! So I had to run down and try that as soon as I read this... and you are totally right! 😄 The entire hose situation was a complete oversight because I didn't spend the time modeling the hoses in the beginning. If I were to design I again, I def would have it going sideways - you're brilliant!
Excellent video and process. I was thinking how to convert my dust collection cart to a more functional with a smaller foot print. You have some very interesting ideas. I like the way you solved your dust collection cart problem.
Excellent video and ideas on how to solve on-going problems as the job progresses. Is there any danger of the Home Depot bucket collapsing under a forced vacuum ( when the suction hose picks up a loose bit of wood for instance that blocks the nozzle) or is there a vacuum breaker built in to prevent that this?
Yep! I have had the bucket collapse before. I considered building some kind of structure to secure the sides to prevent this, but haven't actually had it happen with the build yet. I have heard putting a main bucket into a second will prevent the collapse from happening as well. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Steve! Surprisingly the stops don't get in the way. I almost changed the design for that reason but decided to just see how it played out and got lucky on that one!
I also put my Dustopper on my vac and immediately realized that I need another elbow. It makes me sad that HD now have 2-elbow version that's even cheaper than the old version!
Great video. I've been looking to build something similar. You mentioned some parts are made with 3D printer. Have any suggestions one buying one and how complicated it is to design parts?
Thanks Carlton! Honestly I am not all that educated on 3D printers, just enough to get by 😄 I do love mine (Anycubic Predator) but sadly i believe it has been discontinued. I will say build volume is a very important consideration. For modeling, I use Sketchup with a .STL extension. If I were to start over, I would learn fusion 360 because it seems like a far more flexible program better suited for modeling 3-D prints from what I’ve seen. I say jump in - its a blast! And one last thing - if you do, be careful with the fumes because they can be pretty nasty 💀
Thanks Bryce! Was the file link not working for that version of Sketchup? If you're still interested can you reach out to me on IG? I should be able to email you one!
Interesting and functional project - nice work! Two questions, does the vacuum want to roll out of its base, or does the hose keep it where you want it? Also, I watched your garage refurb video (cool!), posted nine months before… Why haven’t you moved into your pegboard wall??
Thanks for the kind words Curtis! Great questions - the cart does roll around a bit, so I ended up putting a strip of plywood on the bottom that the wheels can get caught on; just did that post-video unfortunately. The workbench is so deep and I don't have the longest arms 😅so the pegboard is a bit out of reach. I'll probably end up ripping the whole bench out and replacing with rolling workbenches at some point so I can better utilize that space 🤙
@@ModernRemade pegboard: that’s what I thought - the bench looks deep and a bit high to get at that back wall, but nice to have a huge workspace I bet! I saw a video a while back where a guy cut a section out of his similarly-shaped bench and dropped in a table saw/miter saw. Perhaps one of your empty spaces in the middle of the bench could work well for such a mod? Just found this online, pretty cool mobile bench plan: www.bitterrootdiy.com/diy-mobile-workbench-with-table-saw-miter-saw/
Unfortunately not! I toyed around with using a clear bucket but I went with the orange because it matched the dustopper up top 😆 I have a separate dust collection for my main saws so this guy doesn’t fill up too quickly, otherwise function over form would have been a better idea for sure. Appreciate you watching! 🙏
Incorrect diameter?!.. trial and error until content?!....or simply just wind a string around the bucket, measuring the string and then use the formula we all learned in school 😏
My house: *huge crash in the garage Me: *comes inside 2 hours later My family: “What was that noise in the garage earlier?” My response next time: *hits play on the video of this guys wife coming to check on him immediately
thanx for the ideas n for showing ur trial n errors as well, glad to see im not the only woodworker who has to occasionally do things twice
One of the best designs I've seen. Bonus points because it looks vaguely like a Dalek from the front. Exterminates dust I guess.
😂 much appreciated!
Love your honesty of the imperfections, it’s make it perfect.
Man I love how relatable the building process is to almost all DIY people. Fantastic job and video. Keep it up man! Can't wait to see the next project!!!
Thank you much! 🙏
I love that you kept the dry-fit and gluing process real 😂 omg I can relate so much!
Haha thanks! Every. single. time. I’m relieved to hear it’s not just me 😅
Finally a relatable DIYer that makes mistakes, has to re-do steps, re-think his design choices, go out and buy more stuff... :)
I make so many mistakes I can't hide them even if I tried 😄
Trial and error is how many of us learn... or get defeated. Pushing forward to completion is how we learn. Your cart really looks like a useful shop tool, and looks good at the same time.
For me, woodworking has been a wise and cruel teacher in that regard 😂 much appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!

Great work! Pro tip: using a clear plastic bucket eliminates needing to check on your dust levels. Cheers!

This was great! Do you have to pull the bottom bucket forward when lifting the hinge because of the stops? Keep up the great work!
Thanks Steve! Surprisingly the stops don't get in the way. I almost changed the design for that reason but decided to just see how it played out and got lucky on that one!
I also put my Dustopper on my vac and immediately realized that I need another elbow. It makes me sad that HD now have 2-elbow version that's even cheaper than the old version!
Oh really?? Good to see they're steppin it up! Thanks for watching!
Man that is awesome!! Do you have plans for sale for it?
Shoot I’m sorry I don’t! 😢 I haven’t learned a way to make plans to a quality I feel proud of. If I get some together in the future I’ll let you know!
I have no use for this product, but this build is amazing! Great work - was fun to see your process.
Thanks Chase that's awesome 😀
nice content! new sub here! good to see not all wood worker makes everything perfect at 1 try! :D
I appreciate ya Ralph! I swear patience is the most difficult part of woodworking 😅
I love ittttttt 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Thank you!! 🙏 😄
Great video. I've been looking to build something similar. You mentioned some parts are made with 3D printer. Have any suggestions one buying one and how complicated it is to design parts?
Thanks Carlton! Honestly I am not all that educated on 3D printers, just enough to get by 😄 I do love mine (Anycubic Predator) but sadly i believe it has been discontinued. I will say build volume is a very important consideration. For modeling, I use Sketchup with a .STL extension. If I were to start over, I would learn fusion 360 because it seems like a far more flexible program better suited for modeling 3-D prints from what I’ve seen. I say jump in - its a blast! And one last thing - if you do, be careful with the fumes because they can be pretty nasty 💀
Awesome job on the dust collection system you built. Did you like the bucket 🪣 topper from Home Depot? I’ve read mixed reviews.
Hey thanks! I haven’t used anything else to compare it to, but I think it’s been amazing, would recommend!
Thanks, I’ll probably give it a try.
I love the build!! I am hoping to build the same. I was wondering if it would possible to get a file for Sketchup Make 2017?
Thanks Bryce! Was the file link not working for that version of Sketchup? If you're still interested can you reach out to me on IG? I should be able to email you one!
Interesting and functional project - nice work! Two questions, does the vacuum want to roll out of its base, or does the hose keep it where you want it? Also, I watched your garage refurb video (cool!), posted nine months before… Why haven’t you moved into your pegboard wall??
Thanks for the kind words Curtis! Great questions - the cart does roll around a bit, so I ended up putting a strip of plywood on the bottom that the wheels can get caught on; just did that post-video unfortunately. The workbench is so deep and I don't have the longest arms 😅so the pegboard is a bit out of reach. I'll probably end up ripping the whole bench out and replacing with rolling workbenches at some point so I can better utilize that space 🤙
@@ModernRemade pegboard: that’s what I thought - the bench looks deep and a bit high to get at that back wall, but nice to have a huge workspace I bet! I saw a video a while back where a guy cut a section out of his similarly-shaped bench and dropped in a table saw/miter saw. Perhaps one of your empty spaces in the middle of the bench could work well for such a mod? Just found this online, pretty cool mobile bench plan: www.bitterrootdiy.com/diy-mobile-workbench-with-table-saw-miter-saw/
Is the bucket translucent enough that a light behind it would allow you to see the level of sawdust inside?
Unfortunately not! I toyed around with using a clear bucket but I went with the orange because it matched the dustopper up top 😆 I have a separate dust collection for my main saws so this guy doesn’t fill up too quickly, otherwise function over form would have been a better idea for sure. Appreciate you watching! 🙏
More videos please
So glad you like them 🙏
And another one! *DJ Kahled voice*
😂 🤙
Incorrect diameter?!.. trial and error until content?!....or simply just wind a string around the bucket, measuring the string and then use the formula we all learned in school 😏
My house: *huge crash in the garage
Me: *comes inside 2 hours later
My family: “What was that noise in the garage earlier?”
My response next time: *hits play on the video of this guys wife coming to check on him immediately
😂😂
What are you using to check your suction power?
Hey Kevin! It's called an anemometer. Here's the link to the one I use if you want to check it out - amzn.to/3h59hpT
@@ModernRemade Thank you, sir!
Where did you download the bucket clips?
Do you have a link to the saw guide you used with the circular saw?
Oh yeah! Can't believe I left that out. Here ya go! amzn.to/3bjz7me
@@ModernRemade that’s great, thank you.
