It always feels like a treat when Matthias and John both post a new video to their channels on the same day.
Love it when Matthias still keeps upgrading and updating and making tools... 😲😲. Always a great joy.
love the dust collection videos, so educational
that was a glorious bump into it lol
This reminds me of that air raid siren you made all that time ago. You should totally make another one!
I'm sure the neighbors won't mind 😅
😁
His smartphone already has an alarm clock.
@@spinningchurro so he has to make a smartphone controlled air raid siren to use as an alarm clock?
Yes! But bigger!
Your earlier blower videos inspired me to make my own. I got a cheap 750 watt electric water pump for $25, lopped off the pump casting and pulled the impeller. I used a 3/4" piece of hardwood ply for the blade disc and routed 1/8" wide grooves 3/8 deep for the blades to glue into. The blades themselves I used some 1/8 Aluminum flat bar I bent curved using a wooden form. The motor spins at 3450, so I figured metal blades would be a better option for me. It's been working well for over a year so far.
Every single router table should come with this design option. And every other tool where it can be applied. Genius.
This is a lot tidier than my strategy of occasionally firing up the leaf blower and blasting out the garage.
But our solution works fairly well if I do say so myself!
Move to Oklahoma and get a shop with a door on either end. Open both doors and the wind will take care of the rest. Works for me, anyway.
That can be very satisfying. But in a basement, where you don't want everything covered in dust, not the best method.
A perfect mix of genius and clumsiness. Very educational and entertaining..
That ever increasing curve is called an involute. If you unwind a piece of string around a cylinder then the locus of the end of the string creates an involute.... Great job! Thanks very much.
Some of the shop details are works of genius. I'll never work the same again.
I get really bad sneezing fits from wood dust which has caused me to abandon woodworking... these individual dust collectors might just give me one of my favorite hobbies back. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience on these videos!
Oak does that to me.
nose plug
There's a website belonging to a guy that wrote extensively on the subject (he was apparently extremely sensitive to wood dust). You might see if you can track down the website of that guy - it's way, way too paranoid about wood dust for most people, but it might just be perfect for your situation. The only clue I have for you is that the Wood Whisperer referenced his work when he was doing dust collection for his shop - I'd offer more but I haven't watched those videos in a couple years or so.
@@UberAlphaSirus oak makes me thirsty. It smells like beer when I cut it.
You shouldn't, you probably aren't sensitive to all types of wood.
It really shows how much experience you have when you build something like this, Matthias! It's simple in principle, but all the parts interact with each other in complex ways and you intimately understand how they work.
9:14 Impressive zero-clearance insert, held in with a piece of paper.
paper? That's 0.004 fibrous shim stock!
@@52Ford I mean, it's basically super-thin particle board, right?
I was wondering how you picked the radius on the fins, and found in your article "I arbitrarily picked the radius for the blades to what seems intuitively right. I want the outer tips of the blades to be near tangential to the circumference and the inner end to be near radial." I liked the near tangetial, and near radial advice.
Thanks. I was going to ask that. Now I'll go back and read the article.
Great to have you back doing projects Matthias
That project was so well thought out. The last part about being an out feed table was awesome. Way to go!!!
Your love of dust collector is great, that's an understatement.
Impressive and so thorough. You are truly skilled and meticulous.
Its been about 2 years since RUclips suggested one of your videos.
nice to see you again.
This channel never gets old!
Yea yours and john heinz ingenuity is on another level. Good stuff
If you add a dust collection port to the center of the bottom board. Your dust collection for your router table will be perfect.
Wonderful design. Very thoughtful
The format in which you present your videos is perfect. There's so many people out there that may very well be smarter and with better designs, but nobody cares because they don't take the time in editing to clean and simplify their videos like you do. Your videos allow people to actually get to a working feature that makes all future projects safer, less messy, and more professional. Thank you for what you do.
It’s projects like this that initially got me into woodworking. Of course you can purchase a product that accomplishes this but it’s much more fun to build it and watch it come together.
Once again Mathias, AWESOME!!!!! Oh, and LOVED the quick fix of the biscuits for the ledge to hold the insert! GREAT on the fly idea!!
I'll never have the skill or creativity to do the type of things Mathias can do!
Your the Einstein of woodworking sir matthias, greetings from the Philippines 🇵🇭
I have that same ryobi router. lasted me almost 20 years.
Every time I see a vid of someone installing their big dust collection systems I think about the various purpose built ones you've built. One day I'll attempt one myself.
This was very informative and sparked my enthusiasm to try and build a dustcollector
Have fun. They can use so much less power and be so much more quieter. You will lose pressure with lower speed and bigger impeller. Still worth it.
All the big ideals started from little ideals like this. Love it, thanks for sharing
That you should patent. That is a very fine prototype to finesse.
Such a clever bloke.
Your dust collection videos have me hoarding motors.
Same.
I have a minimum of 3 nice motors just lying around. I can't stand the idea of throwing them out. There is a motor with a squirrel cage on it right now in my garbage that I just have to let go. It's from my old stove hood.
me either..
Impellers aren't just easy to lay out, they're also the choice for fans that have to create pressure. Much harder for axial fans.
Nice job!
This is the type of video that caused me to subscribe. Thanks and appreciate the humor and reality of mistakes.
Wire you really love your dust collectors. Good job. I am not there yet. Wonders
Very clever design. Love the versatility.
How is literally every single one of your videos a banger?
My favorite Blowers has forward-curved fan blades for higher static pressure.
That's a great idea. Some slots near the edges of the top could provide additional downdraft dust collection for anything that shoots past the main opening when the fence isn't as close.
I'm always impressed just how precise you can be freehand, I guess that's what you get with so much experience.
Using the screw heads as markers like that is really clever!
I'm so glad I found this. Instantly addicted
No motor is too small to find use in your shop... LOL I love it.
How's it going Jeremy?
I love you
You inspired me to tear apart a junk treadmill and hook it up to my metal working lathe! I even 3D Printed a control panel for it!
respond jeremy your crushing a mans dreams by not responding
its a penis reference, don't worry. we don't expect you to get it.
At some point you should really just admit the fact that sweeping wood dust is extremely satisfying.
Very impressive amount of work there. The final product must be satisfying.
I just clamp my cheap Ridgid vac to a fence I made to hold the vacuum tube from above or below, depending on which way the debris flies off.
I started out with a downdraft collection box on my router table, but concern for the router itself had me abandoning that idea. Far better, imo, to draw the dust & chips through the fence aperture rather than through the router motor, and since I already have a high-velocity, high-volume dust collector for the whole shop, it made more sense to go that route. Not to take away anything from the ingenuity in this video…
Either duct tape or masking tape with an absorbent of paper towel is the preferred method of containing corrosive/staining blood flow until the maker's next shower. In the case of persistent blood flow, rubber bands can be useful to prevent these expedient bandages from falling off.
A paddle blade fan can be sat in the dirty air stream giving maximum suction where it’s needed while forcing air through the cyclone maximises it’s separation effect.
Amazing how well your dust control trol works. Routers are the worst. Love your videos.
Nice build!
Nice build to see. Thanks.
I must look over your other videos again. I thought I recalled you concluding that flat blades were better than curved ones. Have to look again.
4:30
"Ok now, is it gonna work this time?"
*literally kicks it by accident*
8:22 is one good use of those multitools you've previously said you never found much use for. It takes a steady hand to do well, I think I might get better results with one than a jig saw. But it's also way louder and takes way longer.
This dude's skill set is amazing!!!
Incredibly effective, nice work.
You sir are a genius. Your creativity is smart and cool. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoyable video, I like the way you explain everything.
I'm really liking that V-notch drill bit verticalizer. 7:11
That is really, really cool.
You are amazing, the expertise in what you do makes me afraid to build anything because after watching you build i would be fat checking more than completing my projects. Thank you for sharing ( Stay Safe ) .
Ingenious as always!
I wish I had your patience and skills, I would've saved a fortune !!
Good job !!
It’s probably one of the best router table I have ever seen, I did mine in a much simpler way using a car jack (aka crick depending how you call it :)). I have a wooden home made top, which I fished with oil (possible mistake) and a fence with a hole that is probably too big. The overall experience isn’t great, the work piece sometimes is hard to push, sometimes is too quick (plywood should be similar). Adjusting the fence is hard and without a feather is almost unusable...🤔 I’m using an Heinell router (not a trimmer), I was not confident nor precise using it by hand and I continue to struggle when it’s mounted on the table saw.. 🤗
I think you might be approaching the wood working singularity with your shop equipment.
I remember your first tests, making fans and blowers, now it is just routine process for you. "Wizard in Wood"!
decades of wild tablesaw tricks ... slices finger on drill press hehe
nice set up
Very cool idea I may very soon incorporate into my own router table. I was thinking a small burlap bag cinched around the port would allow the chips to get sucked into the bag instead of the bottom of the table. Maybe? I have a friend who is a scrapper and has a ton (or two literally) in his collection yard of dishwashers, refrigerators and all manner of old equipment ripe to be re-purposed.
my favorite kind of art thanks a lot.
The inside of Matthias router table is coziest than my kitchen.
All I hear is Kermit being more productive than I’ll ever be
I have nothing to say really, but I appreciate your content, and wish to help with the yt-algorithms.
Thanks for showing your injury. Now I know to look out for that.
As a mechanical engineer, this was awesome to watch haha. the versatility that wood gives you in designing what you want, it's truly inspiring. Thanks!
For everything you went through, call Howmet and get some turbine vanes for efficiency.
Wow!! This is the first of your videos I’ve seen, you sir have won my sub amd viewership! I can’t wait to check out more of your videos and try this for myself. I’m an appliance repairmen by trade so I have plenty of small motors and whatnot laying around, I may have to try this someday!!
Next time you get a cut like that, first clean it with, then try and pinch it together using some pliers or tweezer so no blood is coming out, then apply using a toothpick a little bit of thin CA glue. If done correctly, the fluid inside the cut will keep the glue from getting inside and it will just bond the skin. No need for stitches and you'll have almost no visible scar. I've fixed two pretty bad cuts like this and both would have likely needed a few stitches.
Amazing work!
I get building it is fun. Buying the same thing gives you more time for actually using the router.
Man i missed these types of videos!!
3:31 And that is the consenquence of using torqueful stuff to make holes in round parts while holding them in your hands.
I am sorry for my bad grammar because I am not from the states.
A calculator next to the screwdriver and wood. You Know your dealing with Mathias Wandel. Great stuff
It’s good to see you making videos again. Keep it up!
I'm going to build this table for me, Great idea
Holy molly, how many dust collectors do you have?
Make a lid out of pegboard, for sanding?
Or that, plus run the motor backwards, to play air hockey.
Been watching your show for a while. You do come up with the most interesting projects. Think I'll make like a cat and copy this one.
I recently repaired my shop vac, it’s 6 amp. The impeller on it is tiny, the blades are about a quarter inch tall and about 6 inches diameter. It was rather surprising.
Matthias you can monetize. It's OK. We're all hit with a million ads day. You've put massive amount of effort and care into your videos. Find some sponsors you like and get that RUclips sugar. You deserve it.
you clearly know what youre doing. very cool
I'm confident that the reason the design on the fabric is upright is either entirely accidental, or a strategic choice as to avoid a flood of comments about it. :)
Considering this covers all two conceivable possibilities, and that you did not even choose one... What exactly are you confident about?
@@kepeb1 I'm confident that either Danny Jepp is an idiot, or he's not an idiot (and just didn't think that through before typing it out). I'm also confident that I either laughed out loud at your response, or I did not.
Great idea Matthias, thanks for sharing.
You bought new clamps. They're shiny.
dimensions of the fan are great (low depth/high width) as all the commercially made ones such as the 2 in a standard portable AC unit are high depth/medium width and no way would approach that compactness
Thank's Matthias. You produce some of my favorite RUclips content. Keep up the good work. :-)
Seriously bravo for your videos and the work. So very well done... Definitely subscribing.. Thank you much... I'm just getting started on my RUclips career lol.... Awesome.
Is it sad that I like this sort of content so much I sometimes re-watch some video's?
💯 Loved this build.
Beautiful!
