Mate, many people have said it already but your excitement and enthusiasm is just infectious. I saw your video and instantly got a grin before even clicking on it because I knew what to expect. Thank you for putting in the effort you do to make these videos and taking us along for the journey. As Robert mentioned in another comment, you have become my favourite maker. Keep doing what you're doing and hope you and your family stay safe mate. Cheers!
You guys are absolutely some of the nicest people on earth. Thank you so much for being so supportive. I hope you’re doing well during this crazy time. Again thank you very much
It is really great having a cute redheaded daughter, although mine is grown and has a daughter of her own. Between her and my two sons I have 11 grandkids and am blessed with my family! Thank You for all you do sharing videos for the woodworking community! Blessings to you and your family!!
Mate, you have everything that a man needs... Family, kids, tools,home and all together.I can see that you're very happy with that. You're inspiration for everyone here. I can see your kids watching this in 20 years and they will prod about how amazing you are. Congratulations
Hey Chris, totally agree with your lil rant on "making things better for yourself." I'm not a perfectionist by any means.....due to too many projects; some in progress and some still on "the list." (my wife's list) Anyway.....building a work/out feed table in my shop for my cheap ($169.00) table saw, which was built from leftovers and surplus from different jobs (home improvement) but I took the time to build it "the way I wanted it!" Yeah....cheap table saw, but it serves as my job site saw and shop saw and at the level I'm at with wood working, it's plenty good for now. My skills are improving and watching your videos REALLY helps! Eventually I'll upgrade to a better table saw and a fancier out feed table.....hopefully similar to yours! Really nice job on the out feed table Chris!
Based on your previous response to me, I pulled the trigger and purchased this setup as well. Just got it yesterday and already have it installed and up and running. It is fantastic! Of course, I am going from no dust collection to this, so it is a big difference. But nonetheless, it is a very nice system and those 4' to 28' hoses are AWESOME! Appreciate your feedback and keep up the great work!
Bryan Larson That is absolutely fantastic. I know you’re going to get great use out of it as I know I do too. Thank you so much for letting me know and giving me such great feedback it really does mean a lot to me. I hope you’re doing well my friend
I love how you include your kids. Your videos are very informative. I am also in a retail grocery environment. Thank you for going out there every day.
I love how you incorporate your kids into your video. It shows how much you really care about them. Hopefully with you doing that they will potentially carry on the love for woodworking.
Thank you so much. They enjoy spending time out there with me but not as much as I enjoy them being there with me. As long as they’re happy doing what they like to do I will be content. But I’m definitely in their corner trying to make them understand how gratifying making things can be
There is nothing better than being able to spend time with the kids. My kids are all older so I was never able to do that kind of stuff with them in the shop. Since I wasn’t able to start doing this later in their life’s. But my youngest does like to help build things from time to time. Keep up the great parenting
Its the little details that matter. I have a self build small workshop in the uk. Been adding french cleats & making tool holders. I dont have a fancy shop like yours but still want stuff to look nice
You might not notice if the corners are eased on one little piece of shop furniture, but what you take that amount of care on everything you build for your shop you notice it in the overall feel. You walk in and can feel that there has been attention to detail taken. Great Video!
I know I'm not the first and I certainly won't be the last, but your enthusiasm and optimism for everything you do just makes me want to get out there and start building. I lost access to the wonderful shop I had access to because of COVID-19, so working out of my garage has definitely been a bit discouraging, but watching your channel has completely turned that around. I'm excited to get back out there and make my little garage shop all that it can be, and I sincerely hope I start seeing you on the front page of RUclips. Cheers man!
I just love your philosophy of getting things to look right even if nobody sees it. It’s a reflection of the approach and professionalism the maker of anything is putting into a project. ‘Spot on’ observation! I have always approached jobs with this view. Hearing this from a guy like you ensures that I don’t think I am suffering OCD we are just a perfectionists! An aspect too often lost these days. Keep up the great work!
It makes a nice looking setup, but it comes with a 30 micron bag compared to upgraded 5 micron bags on some and 1 or 2 micron canister filters available for upright systems. Don't let you daughter use it as a punching bag after you've been using it, she'll be breathing in a cloud of harmful fine particles. The other issue with the hanging system is that the bag has to let air though it in order to create suction, the fuller the bag gets the less surface area available for air to pass through, and suction goes down. Not trying to rain on your enthusiasm, but others watching this and shopping need to understand the limitations of this system. For roughly the same floor space a regular setup with a canister filter is far superior for health.
Agreed w the facts, please suggest a great canister/ filter fit. Rockler I think sells a can with a removable filter, and enables attachment of Chris’ bag on the bottom which seems contradictory. Is there a filter rating, 1-2 microns is microscopic? HVAC Filters on the shelf go from 3 to 19 “units”…what’s reasonable for mask free…rabbit hole conversation.
It's basically just a chip collector, all of the harmful fines go right back into the air. It needs a cyclone separator in front of it and a HEPA filter on the outlet.
Theo and Nothing…. I would ask both of you if you could be more of a d-bag but unfortunately that would be the one thing in your pathetic life that you would give 110% on… I bet both of you are a lot of fun to be around….
So my son has a sensory issue with noise as well. I have a pair of hearing protection, head phones is what he calls it, it has a spot down low where he can easily access it. Now anytime I am going to drill, drive a screw, and loud noise I tell him it’s about to get loud and he puts his “ head phones” on and he can go right back to playing, or whatever he does. Love seeing your kids involved. It is nice to see Ofer parents doing stuff with their kids, even if it’s just them hanging around while you’re working
Heard your statement "Make-Details-Matter" just as my table saw and dust collector were winding down. Point well taken. Had to stop, rewind and watch from the beginning. Yeah, make the details nice, chamfer the corners, add edge-banding to the shop cabinets, make mounting plates instead of just screwing things randomly to the wall. It all really does make the shop, and life more pleasant.
What’s up brother. I’m glad you see things the same way. Thank you for taking the time to give your thoughts and letting me know I really appreciate it
Great job. I am an old guy who learns much from a young person like you. Your enthusiasm and love of family and appreciation for your career will serve you well in the years to come.
Ditto, heaven is seeing your kids take the “gifts”you gave them and bringing the world better versions of yourself and SO. Now I need the cfo SO, approve this project, lol.
Chris first I want to say Thank You for your service during this crazy times!!!! Having your children in your videos special as a Dad, p.s. I think you need to get your daughter a speed bag teach them young lol. Also I can say I love my Rockler quick connect for all my tools with a 25’ hose works perfectly!! Take Care and be safe
Chris, my name is Mike and I am not too far from you in Augusta Georgia. My wonderful wife is buying me a shed, soon, that will be around 10 x 16 to turn into my first-ever shop. I found your channel earlier today starting with your "Dream Shop" video and then the "how much did it cost" video and then went down the French Cleat rabbit hole and finally am here. I subscribed and rang the bell on the first video! The point of my comment is to say this, even though our shops are of vastly different sizes, different planets almost, you're showing things in each video that I am pretty sure I WILL be using in my own shop! I am looking forward to combing through all of your videos between now and getting the new shed, and seeing how many things I can find that will eventually make my life better in my shop!! Thank you for posting what you post!! Your children are adorable. Your little girl practicing her Karate on the vacuum bag, water painting on the floor, bringing you tools is absolutely pure and perfect. Your little boy running around in circles in puddles barefoot made me smile and wish I was 2 again to have such a good time with essentially nothing. Please .. Stop apologizing for the 'distractions' in your videos, they are precious moments in YOUR life that you are gracious enough to share with the rest of us, especially those of us who never had children of our own (unless you count my dogs). Please, also .... I see your little girl almost always has gloves on. Build a cleat organizer by the door JUST for your two kids, and get them (and yourself) in the habit of grabbing safety glasses off their shelf and putting them on as you come in the door, EVERY time, because that habit will be as important as your choice of SawStop over something else. It -WILL- eventually save an eye, I promise you, just like SawStop will eventually save a digit, or two ... While you're at it, get them in the habit of hearing protection, too. Far more subtle and less "immediate" but over time you will grow to wish you had fostered more discipline there for yourself and for them. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox, now!! :P If you're still reading, YOU'RE one of MY favorite kinda of people too!
Mike where do I start. First of all thank you. I really do hope you get your shop up and running as fast as possible as it’s one of the pure joys of a maker to finally have your own sanctuary. As for the safety glasses at the beginning of the shop right by the door. That’s genius. Thank you so much for the tip. We have tried hearing protection however the kids seem to resist it as it takes up most of the space on their head. Either way live in learn. No soapbox brother I appreciate all the comments and a concern and I wish you and your wife, and your dogs a wonderful night and I’m glad you’re aboard. Thanks again and welcome. Chris
I've always said that "I" will notice the details. Makes me happy to know that there are more of us out there. "Art is the foundation for everything.".......said by me. Details will always matter.
So happy that i came across your channel.. i love how you light up when your daughter is around. You teach me how to be a better woodworker with these methods. Thank you so much for taking the time! Really appreciate it ❤
Love the page. So I rigged up my dust collector on a wireless Christmas light plug. Makes it so much easier to turn on and off without having to walk over the the collector.
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. As you said, no one will notice, but I will. Just keep doing the right thing all of the time and keep the videos coming. Thanks for including your "Shop Boss" too. Stay safe my friend.
Chris...Thanks for a great vid. I love the kids running around the shop, seeing it as a fun and exciting place tp be with Pop. Just think, someday the Grand kids will be over to see "Pop in the shop." It brings back so many wonderful memories of my Gramm and Gramps. When I was about 5 yrs old, I stayed with Gramm and Gramps one Summer. They always made sure there were "interesting things" around for me to create my own "toys". I still remember my Gramps big ol, wood shop, tool box with all the wonderful tools and mysterious gadgets to play with. I also remember using Gramps "Buck Bros." socket firmer chisels to break up some rocks (I'm not sure why). Gramps didn't say a thing. He just re-sharpened the chisels and put them back in the box without saying a word. In the evenings he would bring in his Machinist tool box with the drawers and let me play with all the neat gadgets. I really liked those calibrated "C-clamps" with all the neat lines and numbers on the handle. And they came in different sizes, but only one of each...go figure. One evening, I built a "Cannon" by taping a big rubber band across the end of a 6" long piece of Chrome sink drain. Gramm gave me some clothes pins (remember clothes pins) for ammo. I put the pin over the rubber band, pulled back and let fly...Good grief. I managed to destroy several cans and and oatmeal boxes before the contraption "got lost"... good times. Did I mention that I became a Mechanical Engineer and lifetime wood worker...kunk
Thank you for sharing this crazy awesome memory that you have with your grandfather. That’s so cool. It’s amazing what a little acts like just re-sharpening chisels and not saying a word has such a profound effects later on can you realize just how awesome that really was
Absolutely love the "real" that you show and your infectious enthusiasm! I've been looking at the Rockler system so you may have just pushed me in that direction! Thanks
Hey Chris Awesome Video.. Love that you have your kids in the shop that is awesome!!! Couple questions 1. Any plans to add a cyclone to the dust collector? 2. I am moving to PAlm Coast and if I remember correctly you are in JAX where can I get rough cut lumber specifically mahogany 8/4 - 10/14 as well as hard maple etc. 3. What kind of humidity problems have you run into in FLA. I am going to basically do up my garage like your shop with ply on the walls and french cleats everywhere. So waiting for this Virus to end so I can move more of my shop to FLA. Your videos are awesome and look forward to them!! soon as life returns to normal Ill have to become a Patreon supporter.
My goodness thank you so much for the kind words. I’ve been to Palm Coast so many times I can’t count. Also in terms of getting hardwood you can go to Jacksonville woodcraft I’m not sure exactly how much mahogany they have but you might want to check Florida Southern plywood off of Lane. Avenue. I bought my plywood from there and they have a selection of hardwoods as well
You really inspired me bro built me a 12x16 shed and ran power to it..became my new shop just ordered the 650 version and can’t wait to use it.. keep up the great work...
I'm thinking about adding the 1250 CFM by Rockler for pairing with my new Laguna IQ CNC. Can you advise of the full width of the collector with the hose fittings and hoses installed, i.e., fully-assembled? Great video! Comfortable and fun to watch!
After reading a lot of dust collection opinions, videos and doing my own research I pulled the trigger on the Dust Right 1250cfm yesterday. I can’t wait to install it this weekend. Yeehaw!
That’s a pretty incredible statement. Thank you so much that means a lot to me. Every day we all have a choice. Do you have a good attitude about what is going on or not. I always count my blessings and I think that’s why I have a smile on my face
This is my first time watching any videos from you, and I have to say that I just absolutely love the authenticity that jumps off the screen. You are just you, energetic and such a proud family man. Who wouldn't laugh at his daughter using the dust bag as a punching bag? Chris, you earned my sub today for just what I saw, and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Awesome job, and I hope to have that type of dust collection system sometime soon.
Nick thank you so much I really appreciate the kind words. The fact that that does come out of these videos, And that people like yourself let me know it does mean so much to me and my family. Thanks again brother glad to have you aboard welcome
I love your view on life and doing the extra little bit of sanding just so you know that it's been done properly the first time!! I was like that when I was at work, but my own workshop is a NIGHTMARE!!! I really need to start finishing my home projects better....... or at least finishing them off before getting another random idea in my head and forgetting what I was doing 10 seconds ago 🤔 Err, what was I doing again?!?!?!?!?! LOL On the whole social distancing........ physical distancing, don't socially distance youself from everyone, put physical distance there, but come together as a society....... with 6ft between everyone 😁 (I can't take credit for that one, but it's still true). We're stuck at home, not doing anything so pick up a phone and call some people instead of just texting. We need social contact to stay human, so try to put more time into verbal communication instead of text speak 👍
Chris, thank you for doing what you're doing at your work and keeping people fed. I think the essential workers, like y'all, aren't appreciated enough. I do enjoy your videos (just found you last week) and especially seeing your kids in the shop. Keep it up!
Hey Chris, what a blast to meet you. So full of happiness and enthusiasm and your daughter. I like your shop and it’s bigger than mine and I like using rockler stuff. I’ll be checking in more. Thanks for a enjoyable video
It looks like a great system, I hope to have something like that soon. I mostly like your energy and I thank you for supporting the economy during this time by working and keeping stores open. I like how you keep mentioning the six foot rule. I am a fire fighter, in San Antonio, Tx. Its amazing how many people cant follow the simple six foot rule. I also have a son with a lung condition. Long story short, his left lung was removed when he was two. I haven't seen him, face to face, since this pandemic began. He lives with his mom so FaceTime is a blessing. Anyways, I didn't mean to go there, I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I hope I can afford one of those soon. God bless you and your family. Jim
Jim thank you for your service. I appreciate it. I know a lot of us do. Also yes FaceTime is pretty incredible. I hope you continue to be well my friend. And thank you again
Another great video Chris! Love your daughter & her participation in your video’s. I bought a Rocket dust video several years ago as my main dust collector & I see they’ve made numerous improvements. Mine hangs on a 6x6 post on it’s own French cleat........designed to be moved as needed. It has a smaller bag too, & it’s heavy! I had to mount pulleys higher on the post in order to mount it. I like your way of mounting the hose & couplings, etc. since mine is mounted on a post, I need to devise how to mount the hose.....Thanks for continuing to inspire in your humble way.
Thanks for a great presentation. I did consider that Rockler system for my tiny shop but wasn't convinced of its filtering of superfine particles. I am also worried about tripping on the hoses. So I got a Laguna roll-around dust collector that meets my needs. (Did I see some glimpses of a similar unit?) Your daughter is a bundle of energy! But another way of looking at punching the bag - - it's not promoting violence, she's starting to learn a valuable self-defense method! Regarding Publix - we spent 40 years in SC and GA and almost always shopped at Publix - love them! But now we are in Maryland, and the closest Publix is in Virginia, something like 75 miles away! So unfortunately we have to suffer the whims of lesser companies ...
I didn’t think of it that way. That’s a good point of her just being able to defend herself. Thank you so much for the kind words and I am glad you gave me a different point of view. I hope you’re doing well my friend
So when I saw this, and saw the very first image of the gangly 28ft hose draped on the wall, my first thought was, why didn't you build a hose reel? And that got me thinking and researching how to build a hose reel for my own, giant 5K sqft shop. I have two dedicated shop vac systems, one for the woods area and one for the metal fab area. Currently I have a pile of 40ft hose that gets dual use when needed and even a couple more rolling "shop vacs" that get pulled out when the hose won't stretch to the middle of the shop. All that to say, I think a rainy day projects is going to be a couple of hose reels and another purchase of 40ft hose...
It really is inspiring that your able to share these experiences with your kids. Mine are 13 and 10. They don't hang out with me as much like this as they used to because I like to joke my Daughter is 13 going on 33 so she is to busy and my Son is 10 going on 20 so I am just not as cool as I used to be, Enjoy them as long as you can my friend, it goes by to fast. And to be honest, it lets a lot of us relive our experiences.
Refreshing to see you flying by the seat of your pants. Most of the woodworkers I watch will not touch a piece of wood until they have spend a couple of days programming a set of drawings on their pc.
That’s too funny. Every time I see another maker you sketch up for fusion I get so intimidated. I think I’m gonna stick to just follow in my nose thank you for your insight
It was a pleasure to listen to you Chris, this is a very neat system. I will be looking into your other videos, I have much to learn. I am currently doing some modest woodworking, so seeing this dust collection system was very useful. You and your daughter are adorable together.Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Chris....great video !!! Always appreciate your up front no nonsense approach to sharing your thoughts, knowledge and experience. I'm a retired teacher/coach trying to take my shop and woodworking to the next level. This type of dust collection system is a practical yet very effective way in my smaller shop. Thanks again....does Rockler have opportunities for others to share uses of their equipment or is that more for professional woodworking people. Thanks for your time & insight. Mark Northern Minnesota
Chris you’re awesome. I have finally got my two boys in the shop and I agree there is no better feeling! Keep up the amazing page and don’t forget us when this thing takes off!
Please don’t feel like you have to respond but, man, your excitement and the way you interact with your daughter is awesome! So glad you’re doing well with this! Keep it up brother!
Another great video. Love that your audience is growing but don't stress yourself out on committing. We love that what you're doing is making you happy. It shows in your work and it becomes contagious in all the right ways.
Thank you so much ma’am. I appreciate hearing from you and of course I will always try to answer back. But I understand I’m not gonna put too much stress about it because I know one day I won’t be able to do every single one. But for now I’m gonna give it the old college try. Thank you as well I appreciate you always being here
UNDER FLOOR DUST COLLECTION. Hey Chris, Your Dust Collector is awesome, however, I'm designing a small shop (16 x 16 hip roof) and want the dust collector as unseen as possible. I'm planning to put it under the floor in a raised Shed. I can't find anything informative on an underfloor system so I thought I'd ask you if you have had experience with such an install. So far, I plan to use a 2HP Harbour Freight Central Machine base-collector, 4" PVC Sewer Pipe, metal blast gates, and 4" flex hose to connect at equipment locations. I'm also researching remote blast gate actuators (essentially solenoids and micro switches - 12v, ) The floor will be raised approx. 18" off the ground on 4x4 posts. It will start out with a connection to a Table saw, a Mitre saw, and floor access at a wall for sweep-ups, and three dead-end access locations for later equipment additions. (Thickness planner, Drill press and band saw, benchtop disk sander and grinder) The dust collector will be wall hung in a small sound-insulated room/cabinet, with access from inside the shed. I have computer-generated virtual pictures of the project if you care to see them. Thanks, Chris for making really good instruction videos, you are a natural, and sharing your talent is greatly appreciated.
Chris ! Great video, I dig your positivity! I have 2 grandkids, it was cool seeing you interact with your daughter. The dust collector looks awesome. Thank you for sharing
This is the first video of yours that I have seen. Your excitement and love of what you do is so obvious. Watching this just made me feel happy. Can't wait to watch more. Keep up the great work!
I watched this video like 35 times knowing I wanted this! Just got back with my brand new Dust Right dust collector from rockler! Saying goodbye to the shop vac tonight! Great videos
Firstly, thank you for working and helping people. My daughter and I watched this. And your lil one practicing karate was adorable. Enjoy it all. My 12 year old's responce was "Meh" lol. Love the ideas as well.
To you it’s a “dust right” system. To your daughter it’s a “dust fight” system. I just found your channel, and you just found a new subscriber. It’s awesome that you include your kids. Mine can’t stay out of my shop.
That's a sweet little dust collector! I promise, I stayed 6 feet from my monitor at all times! My wife is in health care so she is on the front lines and I know the importance of following the health guidlines. Stay safe brother!
Hi Chris, I'm thinking of getting the blue dust right expandable hoses for my shop, I'm wondering how yours have held up over the years? I read some other stories online of them ripping apart. Thanks for taking the time!
Chris great informative video on what appears and I'm sure coming from Rockler is a top notch dust collection system. I just wanted to say I think it's pretty damn cool that you don't let time escape you with your daughter and that she was just as big a part of the video as Rockler was...Speaks Loudly as to your character and the type of father you are...A+ brother A plus! As far as your attention do detail, I am the same way and have been scrutinized at times over the years as I grew up in the construction biz... some people don't get it and never will some call me OCD, too meticulous... Lol I just treat every project the same and I look at it as the amount of integrity one might or might not possess... So I get it bro. Take care, be safe, stay you dude! Top Notch all the way around bro. Wish you and your family best of luck in years to come
Love your channel, you are an amazing father, you keep telling us about the company you work for and that you are a bakery manager - give us a little section of you baking some bread with your kids.
Hey my man your daughter is a mma champion in training . I use to teach karate and judo and she is a natural keep her in the shop. Great economical dust collection unit. Be safe c u in next video.
Great video Chris. I’m in the middle of building a new home where I will finally have a dedicated shop space, but it’s only 20x13 so I’ve been researching these wall mounted dust collectors. You’re video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me. I love your organization of the hoses and accessories. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Everyone is awesome. Thank you for letting me know. I know the video is telling you I recommend it but I’m personally telling you now it really is a game changer for me here
Dude, I dont know why but I swear I know you from somewhere? We've either met or worked together at some point. Anyway, just wanted to say how awesome it is you have your kids in the shop. I do the same and always take time to educate my son on what things are or what it is Im doing. He loves it. Take care and thanks for the 15 off on the starbond stuff.
You’re welcome Bill. And yeah we may have I mean I’ve been with Publix pretty much my whole life so if you have even been a customer in the 904 area code I’ve worked at around 15 different stores. It’s possible if you live here in Duval that we have crossed paths
Man you have an awesome shop! I've been working since 14 and have been saving since. I'm 17 and still gong through school, but after I get settled down a shop is one of the first upgrades I hope to add to my house. Stay safe and enjoy your shop!
Chris, First time viewer and commenter. The absolute best presentation, love the family involvement, the place you are in the world, and how you’re liv’n life, heart and soul transparency. You rock. Nuff said, don’t stop, us newbies need the inspiration! tk, North Kingstown, RI
He is from Jacksonville and I happened to meet him once on a golf course. He’s so mellow nowadays. And a pretty genuinely nice guy from the five minutes we had a few years ago
Great project/video. Plus I got to see what is fast becoming my favorite little girl. I have that exact same system on my wish list at Rockler. I already have a dust collection system for the shop. But some tools are not hooked up to it. So this will be perfect. I will us your channel to connect to Rockler and hopefully it will help you. Some people have it setup where it will. As always I love watching your videos and someday I will figure out where you get all that energy. Please stay safe and healthy and be careful at work my friend.
That’s too cute. I will definitely tell her. Thank you for your support here on this channel it really does mean a lot. As far as the dust collector goes it seems to be a welcome addition here for sure. Take care of yourself as well
So this is a question rather than the other comments I left in the other chain. - What do you do when the bag fills? Do you empty it into a trash can then reuse the bag? Do you throw it all away and get a new bag? I think the system looks and works great, I am just preplanning for my new shed shop. Thanks
I now have a separator and a canister filter. But I simply bag of the dust up in a few people come and get it for various things or I just put it out by the road
I have nearly this exact setup, but you need to get the oneida cyclone separator, it makes such a big difference. I have the filter canister with a bag under it, Ive emptied over 100 gallons of dust from the separator and there still isnt a gallon of dust in the bag under the filter.
Love your use of the cleats...they're so versatile, and can be used virtually anywhere and for any purpose, as very demonstrated in this video. Have only got a small workshop, and only the minimal amount of powertools, but am slowly working my way through creating a dust extraction system, won't be anything as elaborate as what you've just setup, but there are quite a few tips I've taken onboard and will utilise in my system, thanks for the great videos, and love watching your involvement of the daughter in most of them, she's a cutie, you're certainly blessed....P.S. she's got some wicked punches there 😁😁😁😁 Cheers from Aus!!!!
Another great wholesome video, I will definately be getting this system for my shop. My shop is in the basement and I do not have the space for a huge cyclone system or that kind of money but this one is perfect. Thanks for your service and stay safe
An idea for you. Install a zipper on the bottom of the dust collector bag, like a leaf blower/vacuum, that you can unzip into a trash can to make emptying the dust collector easier. That way the top stays connected.
I Really Love Watching Your Videos!!!! Not Only Are They Informative, But Entertaining As Well!!!! You're A Super Cool And Awesome Dad As Well, And Your Daughter Makes Me Want To Purchase A Rockler Dust Collection System, Just So My Great Niece And Nephew Can Have Fun Too!!!! LOL!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Keep Up The Great Work, And Awesome Videos!!!!
Great video. I regret buying that style of dust collection hose. They are heavy and cause a lot of stress on my tools. Seems to effect drum sanders alignment of the head to the bed if I don’t have something supporting the hose. I’d add a cyclone to that system to make it even better
Definitely thinking about a cyclone for sure. That’s a shame about the weight of the hose and what you’re experiencing. I haven’t noticed that just yet
I just purchased this same unit! Great job on mounting and all the French Cleats, excellent concept, going to spend the weekend being a copy cat, ha!! Thank you again for all your great content!!
Let’s see if you still prove that inner self wrong. Stumbled across this some what older video and am now thinking about the rockler as a “more” budget friendly option as an upgrade to my shopvac system. Peace out Chris love the video’s
I’m glad you like your split AC system. Wait till it breaks down. Everyone that I know that has a split system says the worst part about it is that you CAN’T get parts when it craps out!
Mate, many people have said it already but your excitement and enthusiasm is just infectious. I saw your video and instantly got a grin before even clicking on it because I knew what to expect. Thank you for putting in the effort you do to make these videos and taking us along for the journey. As Robert mentioned in another comment, you have become my favourite maker. Keep doing what you're doing and hope you and your family stay safe mate. Cheers!
You guys are absolutely some of the nicest people on earth. Thank you so much for being so supportive. I hope you’re doing well during this crazy time. Again thank you very much
It is really great having a cute redheaded daughter, although mine is grown and has a daughter of her own. Between her and my two sons I have 11 grandkids and am blessed with my family! Thank You for all you do sharing videos for the woodworking community! Blessings to you and your family!!
That’s awesome. I am totally surrounded myself as well. My daughter my son my father and my wife. Redheads rule the world
You’ve quickly become my favorite Maker. Thanks for staying humble and keep up the great work.
Robert I don’t know what to say. Thank you so much that is very kind of you and I appreciate you being here brother
@@AGlimpseInside kjk ok ok k(kkkkk
Mate, you have everything that a man needs... Family, kids, tools,home and all together.I can see that you're very happy with that. You're inspiration for everyone here. I can see your kids watching this in 20 years and they will prod about how amazing you are. Congratulations
Hey Chris, totally agree with your lil rant on "making things better for yourself." I'm not a perfectionist by any means.....due to too many projects; some in progress and some still on "the list." (my wife's list) Anyway.....building a work/out feed table in my shop for my cheap ($169.00) table saw, which was built from leftovers and surplus from different jobs (home improvement) but I took the time to build it "the way I wanted it!" Yeah....cheap table saw, but it serves as my job site saw and shop saw and at the level I'm at with wood working, it's plenty good for now. My skills are improving and watching your videos REALLY helps! Eventually I'll upgrade to a better table saw and a fancier out feed table.....hopefully similar to yours! Really nice job on the out feed table Chris!
Based on your previous response to me, I pulled the trigger and purchased this setup as well. Just got it yesterday and already have it installed and up and running. It is fantastic! Of course, I am going from no dust collection to this, so it is a big difference. But nonetheless, it is a very nice system and those 4' to 28' hoses are AWESOME! Appreciate your feedback and keep up the great work!
Bryan Larson That is absolutely fantastic. I know you’re going to get great use out of it as I know I do too. Thank you so much for letting me know and giving me such great feedback it really does mean a lot to me. I hope you’re doing well my friend
I love how you include your kids. Your videos are very informative. I am also in a retail grocery environment. Thank you for going out there every day.
I appreciate that. Thank you as well
I love how you incorporate your kids into your video. It shows how much you really care about them. Hopefully with you doing that they will potentially carry on the love for woodworking.
Thank you so much. They enjoy spending time out there with me but not as much as I enjoy them being there with me. As long as they’re happy doing what they like to do I will be content. But I’m definitely in their corner trying to make them understand how gratifying making things can be
There is nothing better than being able to spend time with the kids. My kids are all older so I was never able to do that kind of stuff with them in the shop. Since I wasn’t able to start doing this later in their life’s. But my youngest does like to help build things from time to time. Keep up the great parenting
Its the little details that matter. I have a self build small workshop in the uk. Been adding french cleats & making tool holders. I dont have a fancy shop like yours but still want stuff to look nice
That’s awesome. I completely agree
Chris, you have now become favorite wood worker. I really like the way you present your projects. You make it easy to follow. Thanks again.
Martin is such a nice thing to say thank you so much
You might not notice if the corners are eased on one little piece of shop furniture, but what you take that amount of care on everything you build for your shop you notice it in the overall feel. You walk in and can feel that there has been attention to detail taken. Great Video!
I know I'm not the first and I certainly won't be the last, but your enthusiasm and optimism for everything you do just makes me want to get out there and start building. I lost access to the wonderful shop I had access to because of COVID-19, so working out of my garage has definitely been a bit discouraging, but watching your channel has completely turned that around. I'm excited to get back out there and make my little garage shop all that it can be, and I sincerely hope I start seeing you on the front page of RUclips. Cheers man!
I just love your philosophy of getting things to look right even if nobody sees it. It’s a reflection of the approach and professionalism the maker of anything is putting into a project. ‘Spot on’ observation! I have always approached jobs with this view. Hearing this from a guy like you ensures that I don’t think I am suffering OCD we are just a perfectionists! An aspect too often lost these days. Keep up the great work!
It makes a nice looking setup, but it comes with a 30 micron bag compared to upgraded 5 micron bags on some and 1 or 2 micron canister filters available for upright systems. Don't let you daughter use it as a punching bag after you've been using it, she'll be breathing in a cloud of harmful fine particles. The other issue with the hanging system is that the bag has to let air though it in order to create suction, the fuller the bag gets the less surface area available for air to pass through, and suction goes down. Not trying to rain on your enthusiasm, but others watching this and shopping need to understand the limitations of this system. For roughly the same floor space a regular setup with a canister filter is far superior for health.
Agreed w the facts, please suggest a great canister/ filter fit. Rockler I think sells a can with a removable filter, and enables attachment of Chris’ bag on the bottom which seems contradictory. Is there a filter rating, 1-2 microns is microscopic? HVAC Filters on the shelf go from 3 to 19 “units”…what’s reasonable for mask free…rabbit hole conversation.
It's basically just a chip collector, all of the harmful fines go right back into the air. It needs a cyclone separator in front of it and a HEPA filter on the outlet.
Theo and Nothing…. I would ask both of you if you could be more of a d-bag but unfortunately that would be the one thing in your pathetic life that you would give 110% on… I bet both of you are a lot of fun to be around….
My 4 year old daughter loves hanging out with me in the shop as well. We've got a project to build for Nana that we're both excited for
That’s what it’s all about Mann. Thank you for sharing
So my son has a sensory issue with noise as well. I have a pair of hearing protection, head phones is what he calls it, it has a spot down low where he can easily access it. Now anytime I am going to drill, drive a screw, and loud noise I tell him it’s about to get loud and he puts his “ head phones” on and he can go right back to playing, or whatever he does. Love seeing your kids involved. It is nice to see Ofer parents doing stuff with their kids, even if it’s just them hanging around while you’re working
I have this same dust collector that I wrestled into place by myself. I have the extra canister filter and I have to say it is a great system!!!
Thankyou!
Heard your statement "Make-Details-Matter" just as my table saw and dust collector were winding down. Point well taken. Had to stop, rewind and watch from the beginning. Yeah, make the details nice, chamfer the corners, add edge-banding to the shop cabinets, make mounting plates instead of just screwing things randomly to the wall. It all really does make the shop, and life more pleasant.
What’s up brother. I’m glad you see things the same way. Thank you for taking the time to give your thoughts and letting me know I really appreciate it
Great job. I am an old guy who learns much from a young person like you. Your enthusiasm and love of family and appreciation for your career will serve you well in the years to come.
Ditto, heaven is seeing your kids take the “gifts”you gave them and bringing the world better versions of yourself and SO. Now I need the cfo SO, approve this project, lol.
Chris first I want to say Thank You for your service during this crazy times!!!! Having your children in your videos special as a Dad, p.s. I think you need to get your daughter a speed bag teach them young lol. Also I can say I love my Rockler quick connect for all my tools with a 25’ hose works perfectly!! Take Care and be safe
Thank you so much. It’s great having you with me for sure in the shop in deed. You stay safe as well my friend
I agree. I like to round off corners on everything as well.
Chris, my name is Mike and I am not too far from you in Augusta Georgia.
My wonderful wife is buying me a shed, soon, that will be around 10 x 16 to turn into my first-ever shop.
I found your channel earlier today starting with your "Dream Shop" video and then the "how much did it cost" video and then went down the French Cleat rabbit hole and finally am here. I subscribed and rang the bell on the first video!
The point of my comment is to say this, even though our shops are of vastly different sizes, different planets almost, you're showing things in each video that I am pretty sure I WILL be using in my own shop! I am looking forward to combing through all of your videos between now and getting the new shed, and seeing how many things I can find that will eventually make my life better in my shop!! Thank you for posting what you post!!
Your children are adorable. Your little girl practicing her Karate on the vacuum bag, water painting on the floor, bringing you tools is absolutely pure and perfect. Your little boy running around in circles in puddles barefoot made me smile and wish I was 2 again to have such a good time with essentially nothing. Please .. Stop apologizing for the 'distractions' in your videos, they are precious moments in YOUR life that you are gracious enough to share with the rest of us, especially those of us who never had children of our own (unless you count my dogs).
Please, also .... I see your little girl almost always has gloves on. Build a cleat organizer by the door JUST for your two kids, and get them (and yourself) in the habit of grabbing safety glasses off their shelf and putting them on as you come in the door, EVERY time, because that habit will be as important as your choice of SawStop over something else. It -WILL- eventually save an eye, I promise you, just like SawStop will eventually save a digit, or two ... While you're at it, get them in the habit of hearing protection, too. Far more subtle and less "immediate" but over time you will grow to wish you had fostered more discipline there for yourself and for them. Sorry, I'll get off my soapbox, now!! :P
If you're still reading, YOU'RE one of MY favorite kinda of people too!
Mike where do I start. First of all thank you. I really do hope you get your shop up and running as fast as possible as it’s one of the pure joys of a maker to finally have your own sanctuary. As for the safety glasses at the beginning of the shop right by the door. That’s genius. Thank you so much for the tip. We have tried hearing protection however the kids seem to resist it as it takes up most of the space on their head. Either way live in learn. No soapbox brother I appreciate all the comments and a concern and I wish you and your wife, and your dogs a wonderful night and I’m glad you’re aboard. Thanks again and welcome.
Chris
I've always said that "I" will notice the details. Makes me happy to know that there are more of us out there. "Art is the foundation for everything.".......said by me. Details will always matter.
Strive for perfection, achieve greatness.
So happy that i came across your channel.. i love how you light up when your daughter is around. You teach me how to be a better woodworker with these methods. Thank you so much for taking the time! Really appreciate it ❤
Love the page. So I rigged up my dust collector on a wireless Christmas light plug. Makes it so much easier to turn on and off without having to walk over the the collector.
That is a genius idea man thanks for the input
Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is looking. As you said, no one will notice, but I will. Just keep doing the right thing all of the time and keep the videos coming. Thanks for including your "Shop Boss" too. Stay safe my friend.
Oh yeah she definitely is the boss. Thank you so much I appreciate your input as well
Chris...Thanks for a great vid. I love the kids running around the shop, seeing it as a fun and exciting place tp be with Pop. Just think, someday the Grand kids will be over to see "Pop in the shop." It brings back so many wonderful memories of my Gramm and Gramps.
When I was about 5 yrs old, I stayed with Gramm and Gramps one Summer. They always made sure there were "interesting things" around for me to create my own "toys". I still remember my Gramps big ol, wood shop, tool box with all the wonderful tools and mysterious gadgets to play with.
I also remember using Gramps "Buck Bros." socket firmer chisels to break up some rocks (I'm not sure why). Gramps didn't say a thing. He just re-sharpened the chisels and put them back in the box without saying a word.
In the evenings he would bring in his Machinist tool box with the drawers and let me play with all the neat gadgets. I really liked those calibrated "C-clamps" with all the neat lines and numbers on the handle. And they came in different sizes, but only one of each...go figure.
One evening, I built a "Cannon" by taping a big rubber band across the end of a 6" long piece of Chrome sink drain. Gramm gave me some clothes pins (remember clothes pins) for ammo. I put the pin over the rubber band, pulled back and let fly...Good grief. I managed to destroy several cans and and oatmeal boxes before the contraption "got lost"... good times.
Did I mention that I became a Mechanical Engineer and lifetime wood worker...kunk
Thank you for sharing this crazy awesome memory that you have with your grandfather. That’s so cool. It’s amazing what a little acts like just re-sharpening chisels and not saying a word has such a profound effects later on can you realize just how awesome that really was
One of the best channels I watch. Thank you for throwing the kids in your videos too.
That is so very nice thank you so much
Absolutely love the "real" that you show and your infectious enthusiasm! I've been looking at the Rockler system so you may have just pushed me in that direction! Thanks
Hey Chris Awesome Video.. Love that you have your kids in the shop that is awesome!!! Couple questions 1. Any plans to add a cyclone to the dust collector? 2. I am moving to PAlm Coast and if I remember correctly you are in JAX where can I get rough cut lumber specifically mahogany 8/4 - 10/14 as well as hard maple etc. 3. What kind of humidity problems have you run into in FLA. I am going to basically do up my garage like your shop with ply on the walls and french cleats everywhere. So waiting for this Virus to end so I can move more of my shop to FLA. Your videos are awesome and look forward to them!! soon as life returns to normal Ill have to become a Patreon supporter.
My goodness thank you so much for the kind words. I’ve been to Palm Coast so many times I can’t count. Also in terms of getting hardwood you can go to Jacksonville woodcraft I’m not sure exactly how much mahogany they have but you might want to check Florida Southern plywood off of Lane. Avenue. I bought my plywood from there and they have a selection of hardwoods as well
You really inspired me bro built me a 12x16 shed and ran power to it..became my new shop just ordered the 650 version and can’t wait to use it.. keep up the great work...
Very cool man I hope you really get a lot of use out of it I know you will enjoy it
I'm thinking about adding the 1250 CFM by Rockler for pairing with my new Laguna IQ CNC. Can you advise of the full width of the collector with the hose fittings and hoses installed, i.e., fully-assembled? Great video! Comfortable and fun to watch!
After reading a lot of dust collection opinions, videos and doing my own research I pulled the trigger on the Dust Right 1250cfm yesterday. I can’t wait to install it this weekend. Yeehaw!
That is awesome you won’t regret it. I love this thing I use it every day
I love how happy you always seem to be . It's addicting and I always seem to head out to my shop after watching your videos.
That’s a pretty incredible statement. Thank you so much that means a lot to me. Every day we all have a choice. Do you have a good attitude about what is going on or not. I always count my blessings and I think that’s why I have a smile on my face
@@AGlimpseInside Exactly .. keep it up!
This is my first time watching any videos from you, and I have to say that I just absolutely love the authenticity that jumps off the screen. You are just you, energetic and such a proud family man. Who wouldn't laugh at his daughter using the dust bag as a punching bag? Chris, you earned my sub today for just what I saw, and I look forward to seeing more videos from you. Awesome job, and I hope to have that type of dust collection system sometime soon.
Nick thank you so much I really appreciate the kind words. The fact that that does come out of these videos, And that people like yourself let me know it does mean so much to me and my family. Thanks again brother glad to have you aboard welcome
I love your view on life and doing the extra little bit of sanding just so you know that it's been done properly the first time!! I was like that when I was at work, but my own workshop is a NIGHTMARE!!! I really need to start finishing my home projects better....... or at least finishing them off before getting another random idea in my head and forgetting what I was doing 10 seconds ago 🤔 Err, what was I doing again?!?!?!?!?! LOL
On the whole social distancing........ physical distancing, don't socially distance youself from everyone, put physical distance there, but come together as a society....... with 6ft between everyone 😁 (I can't take credit for that one, but it's still true). We're stuck at home, not doing anything so pick up a phone and call some people instead of just texting. We need social contact to stay human, so try to put more time into verbal communication instead of text speak 👍
Chris, thank you for doing what you're doing at your work and keeping people fed. I think the essential workers, like y'all, aren't appreciated enough.
I do enjoy your videos (just found you last week) and especially seeing your kids in the shop. Keep it up!
Dust collection is a absolute must have in any wood working shop. I make handmade beard combs and I run dust collection daily
Buy your profile picture I can see those combs get a lot of use bro. Thank you so much
@@AGlimpseInside yeah I make 100s of them weekly
Hey Chris, what a blast to meet you. So full of happiness and enthusiasm and your daughter. I like your shop and it’s bigger than mine and I like using rockler stuff. I’ll be checking in more. Thanks for a enjoyable video
Thank you Rico I appreciate you coming back for more. Hope you’re doing well my friend
It looks like a great system, I hope to have something like that soon. I mostly like your energy and I thank you for supporting the economy during this time by working and keeping stores open. I like how you keep mentioning the six foot rule. I am a fire fighter, in San Antonio, Tx. Its amazing how many people cant follow the simple six foot rule. I also have a son with a lung condition. Long story short, his left lung was removed when he was two. I haven't seen him, face to face, since this pandemic began. He lives with his mom so FaceTime is a blessing. Anyways, I didn't mean to go there, I just wanted to thank you for making this video. I hope I can afford one of those soon. God bless you and your family. Jim
Jim thank you for your service. I appreciate it. I know a lot of us do. Also yes FaceTime is pretty incredible. I hope you continue to be well my friend. And thank you again
Another great video Chris! Love your daughter & her participation in your video’s. I bought a Rocket dust video several years ago as my main dust collector & I see they’ve made numerous improvements. Mine hangs on a 6x6 post on it’s own French cleat........designed to be moved as needed. It has a smaller bag too, & it’s heavy! I had to mount pulleys higher on the post in order to mount it. I like your way of mounting the hose & couplings, etc. since mine is mounted on a post, I need to devise how to mount the hose.....Thanks for continuing to inspire in your humble way.
Thanks for a great presentation. I did consider that Rockler system for my tiny shop but wasn't convinced of its filtering of superfine particles. I am also worried about tripping on the hoses. So I got a Laguna roll-around dust collector that meets my needs. (Did I see some glimpses of a similar unit?)
Your daughter is a bundle of energy! But another way of looking at punching the bag - - it's not promoting violence, she's starting to learn a valuable self-defense method!
Regarding Publix - we spent 40 years in SC and GA and almost always shopped at Publix - love them! But now we are in Maryland, and the closest Publix is in Virginia, something like 75 miles away! So unfortunately we have to suffer the whims of lesser companies ...
I didn’t think of it that way. That’s a good point of her just being able to defend herself. Thank you so much for the kind words and I am glad you gave me a different point of view. I hope you’re doing well my friend
So when I saw this, and saw the very first image of the gangly 28ft hose draped on the wall, my first thought was, why didn't you build a hose reel? And that got me thinking and researching how to build a hose reel for my own, giant 5K sqft shop. I have two dedicated shop vac systems, one for the woods area and one for the metal fab area. Currently I have a pile of 40ft hose that gets dual use when needed and even a couple more rolling "shop vacs" that get pulled out when the hose won't stretch to the middle of the shop. All that to say, I think a rainy day projects is going to be a couple of hose reels and another purchase of 40ft hose...
It really is inspiring that your able to share these experiences with your kids. Mine are 13 and 10. They don't hang out with me as much like this as they used to because I like to joke my Daughter is 13 going on 33 so she is to busy and my Son is 10 going on 20 so I am just not as cool as I used to be,
Enjoy them as long as you can my friend, it goes by to fast. And to be honest, it lets a lot of us relive our experiences.
Oh man, the joke about - "You can use a ratchet if you want to waste the better part of an afternoon" had me rolling to the end of the video lol! 🤣
Oh my gosh the jokes keep coming! I can empathize with the shape comments lol 🤣
I think this is the third of your videos that I've watched. I really like that Marine plywood that you have. It adds a distinctive touch to your shop.
Refreshing to see you flying by the seat of your pants. Most of the woodworkers I watch will not touch a piece of wood until they have spend a couple of days programming a set of drawings on their pc.
That’s too funny. Every time I see another maker you sketch up for fusion I get so intimidated. I think I’m gonna stick to just follow in my nose thank you for your insight
I couldn’t agree more, I love this channel!
It was a pleasure to listen to you Chris, this is a very neat system. I will be looking into your other videos, I have much to learn. I am currently doing some modest woodworking, so seeing this dust collection system was very useful. You and your daughter are adorable together.Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Trish. I appreciate the kind words and keep on trucking with your projects. It truly is a wonderful hobby
Another good one! Keep it coming. I appreciate the comments on costs and I like that your daughter gets to spend some time with Dad along the way!👍❤️
Thank you so much I do appreciate her being there as well and I figured why not be transparent about things it just makes it easy
Thanks Chris....great video !!! Always appreciate your up front no nonsense approach to sharing your thoughts, knowledge and experience. I'm a retired teacher/coach trying to take my shop and woodworking to the next level. This type of dust collection system is a practical yet very effective way in my smaller shop. Thanks again....does Rockler have opportunities for others to share uses of their equipment or is that more for professional woodworking people. Thanks for your time & insight.

Chris you’re awesome. I have finally got my two boys in the shop and I agree there is no better feeling! Keep up the amazing page and don’t forget us when this thing takes off!
Of course not I always remember those people who got me to where I’ve been hoping to get all along
Please don’t feel like you have to respond but, man, your excitement and the way you interact with your daughter is awesome! So glad you’re doing well with this! Keep it up brother!
Thank you so much Morgan I appreciate that my friend.Yeah the interaction between she and I is priceless at least in my eyes
Another great video. Love that your audience is growing but don't stress yourself out on committing. We love that what you're doing is making you happy. It shows in your work and it becomes contagious in all the right ways.
Thank you so much ma’am. I appreciate hearing from you and of course I will always try to answer back. But I understand I’m not gonna put too much stress about it because I know one day I won’t be able to do every single one. But for now I’m gonna give it the old college try. Thank you as well I appreciate you always being here
Your shop is a everyman's dream. Sweet.
I love seeing the kids in the shop.
UNDER FLOOR DUST COLLECTION.
Hey Chris, Your Dust Collector is awesome, however, I'm designing a small shop (16 x 16 hip roof) and want the dust collector as unseen as possible. I'm planning to put it under the floor in a raised Shed. I can't find anything informative on an underfloor system so I thought I'd ask you if you have had experience with such an install. So far, I plan to use a 2HP Harbour Freight Central Machine base-collector, 4" PVC Sewer Pipe, metal blast gates, and 4" flex hose to connect at equipment locations. I'm also researching remote blast gate actuators (essentially solenoids and micro switches - 12v, ) The floor will be raised approx. 18" off the ground on 4x4 posts. It will start out with a connection to a Table saw, a Mitre saw, and floor access at a wall for sweep-ups, and three dead-end access locations for later equipment additions. (Thickness planner, Drill press and band saw, benchtop disk sander and grinder)
The dust collector will be wall hung in a small sound-insulated room/cabinet, with access from inside the shed.
I have computer-generated virtual pictures of the project if you care to see them.
Thanks, Chris for making really good instruction videos, you are a natural, and sharing your talent is greatly appreciated.
Having your kids in the shop is an awesome element. Keep up the great videos!
Chris !
Great video, I dig your positivity!
I have 2 grandkids, it was cool seeing you interact with your daughter. The dust collector looks awesome. Thank you for sharing
Thank you so much brother. Having those kids in the shop is amazing as you know. Good to hear from you hope you’re doing well
This is the first video of yours that I have seen. Your excitement and love of what you do is so obvious. Watching this just made me feel happy. Can't wait to watch more. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much I really appreciate that Brent. Glad to have you along for the ride bro
Excellent solution for hanging the equipment you bought ... your daughter is very funny.. congratulations on the video ... hugs
Thank you so much that means a lot I appreciate it
What a happy happy guy. Great family guy.
I watched this video like 35 times knowing I wanted this! Just got back with my brand new Dust Right dust collector from rockler! Saying goodbye to the shop vac tonight! Great videos
Firstly, thank you for working and helping people. My daughter and I watched this. And your lil one practicing karate was adorable. Enjoy it all. My 12 year old's responce was "Meh" lol. Love the ideas as well.
To you it’s a “dust right” system. To your daughter it’s a “dust fight” system. I just found your channel, and you just found a new subscriber. It’s awesome that you include your kids. Mine can’t stay out of my shop.
That's a sweet little dust collector! I promise, I stayed 6 feet from my monitor at all times! My wife is in health care so she is on the front lines and I know the importance of following the health guidlines. Stay safe brother!
Hi Chris, I'm thinking of getting the blue dust right expandable hoses for my shop, I'm wondering how yours have held up over the years? I read some other stories online of them ripping apart. Thanks for taking the time!
Love your enthusiasm and what comes across as genuine excitement.
Your garage looks at least 4 times bigger than my entire housing floorspace 😭😭😭
Thank you so much. I appreciate the kind words it’s only 600 ft.². However my first home was only 900 ft.² so I can relate
God bless your daughter. take care of her
I just bought that EXACT setup from Rockler. Your video helped convince me.
Chris great informative video on what appears and I'm sure coming from Rockler is a top notch dust collection system. I just wanted to say I think it's pretty damn cool that you don't let time escape you with your daughter and that she was just as big a part of the video as Rockler was...Speaks Loudly as to your character and the type of father you are...A+ brother A plus! As far as your attention do detail, I am the same way and have been scrutinized at times over the years as I grew up in the construction biz... some people don't get it and never will some call me OCD, too meticulous... Lol I just treat every project the same and I look at it as the amount of integrity one might or might not possess... So I get it bro. Take care, be safe, stay you dude! Top Notch all the way around bro. Wish you and your family best of luck in years to come
Love your channel, you are an amazing father, you keep telling us about the company you work for and that you are a bakery manager - give us a little section of you baking some bread with your kids.
I love this system! Planning on getting the smaller size for my 14x14 workshop.
Hey my man your daughter is a mma champion in training . I use to teach karate and judo and she is a natural keep her in the shop. Great economical dust collection unit. Be safe c u in next video.
Oh my goodness yes the next Rhonda Rowsey right. Thank you so much. You be safe as well
Great video Chris. I’m in the middle of building a new home where I will finally have a dedicated shop space, but it’s only 20x13 so I’ve been researching these wall mounted dust collectors. You’re video couldn’t have come at a more perfect time for me. I love your organization of the hoses and accessories. Keep up the great work and stay safe.
Everyone is awesome. Thank you for letting me know. I know the video is telling you I recommend it but I’m personally telling you now it really is a game changer for me here
Wish I would have waited and not bought my HarborFreight one. Now I’m gonna have to modify mine to be like yours.
Thank you again Chris
Dude, I dont know why but I swear I know you from somewhere? We've either met or worked together at some point. Anyway, just wanted to say how awesome it is you have your kids in the shop. I do the same and always take time to educate my son on what things are or what it is Im doing. He loves it. Take care and thanks for the 15 off on the starbond stuff.
You’re welcome Bill. And yeah we may have I mean I’ve been with Publix pretty much my whole life so if you have even been a customer in the 904 area code I’ve worked at around 15 different stores. It’s possible if you live here in Duval that we have crossed paths
Family is always first priority
Words to live bye
Man you have an awesome shop! I've been working since 14 and have been saving since. I'm 17 and still gong through school, but after I get settled down a shop is one of the first upgrades I hope to add to my house. Stay safe and enjoy your shop!
Chris,
First time viewer and commenter.
The absolute best presentation, love the family involvement, the place you are in the world, and how you’re liv’n life, heart and soul transparency. You rock. Nuff said, don’t stop, us newbies need the inspiration! tk, North Kingstown, RI
Publix??? Sweet. Retired Publix here. Love your work.
What’s up man. How are you liking retirement
@@AGlimpseInside I recommend it. Love seeing what "we" are doing in the community during this difficult time
Every time I watch your videos I think of Fred Durst on from limp biscuit. Love your videos.
He is from Jacksonville and I happened to meet him once on a golf course. He’s so mellow nowadays. And a pretty genuinely nice guy from the five minutes we had a few years ago
A Glimpse Inside limp biscuit was my favorite band. Thats kool that you meet him.
Thanks for sharing the RUclips video on the dust right. I'm sold
Well I'm looking at upgrading from shop vac to good dust collection system so rewatching one of your old vids. Be well friend!!
Great project/video. Plus I got to see what is fast becoming my favorite little girl. I have that exact same system on my wish list at Rockler. I already have a dust collection system for the shop. But some tools are not hooked up to it. So this will be perfect. I will us your channel to connect to Rockler and hopefully it will help you. Some people have it setup where it will.
As always I love watching your videos and someday I will figure out where you get all that energy. Please stay safe and healthy and be careful at work my friend.
That’s too cute. I will definitely tell her. Thank you for your support here on this channel it really does mean a lot. As far as the dust collector goes it seems to be a welcome addition here for sure. Take care of yourself as well
@@AGlimpseInside I want you to know, it's ok not to respond to my comments. I understand, it won't hurt my feelings. Just do what you have to do.
Your little one is adorable. Thanks for leaving her in.
So this is a question rather than the other comments I left in the other chain. - What do you do when the bag fills? Do you empty it into a trash can then reuse the bag? Do you throw it all away and get a new bag?
I think the system looks and works great, I am just preplanning for my new shed shop.
Thanks
I now have a separator and a canister filter. But I simply bag of the dust up in a few people come and get it for various things or I just put it out by the road
I have nearly this exact setup, but you need to get the oneida cyclone separator, it makes such a big difference. I have the filter canister with a bag under it, Ive emptied over 100 gallons of dust from the separator and there still isnt a gallon of dust in the bag under the filter.
Ok you sold me bro. Thank you
Love your use of the cleats...they're so versatile, and can be used virtually anywhere and for any purpose, as very demonstrated in this video.
Have only got a small workshop, and only the minimal amount of powertools, but am slowly working my way through creating a dust extraction system, won't be anything as elaborate as what you've just setup, but there are quite a few tips I've taken onboard and will utilise in my system, thanks for the great videos, and love watching your involvement of the daughter in most of them, she's a cutie, you're certainly blessed....P.S. she's got some wicked punches there 😁😁😁😁
Cheers from Aus!!!!
So thrilled to know I'm one of your 30% of favorite people! Thanks for the shoutout, now I've really gotta get my butt together on that video! ha.
Dude you're coming up so glad for you keep the entertainment coming
Thank you Neil I appreciate that
Thanks for making a great instructional video on dust collection and always family friendly. Nice move on your part and greatly appreciated.
Another great wholesome video, I will definately be getting this system for my shop. My shop is in the basement and I do not have the space for a huge cyclone system or that kind of money but this one is perfect. Thanks for your service and stay safe
Love this idea. To early in my wood working/learning curve. It is on my future list.
Hey John nothing wrong with that brother. Take care my friend
An idea for you. Install a zipper on the bottom of the dust collector bag, like a leaf blower/vacuum, that you can unzip into a trash can to make emptying the dust collector easier. That way the top stays connected.
I forgot to mention that already comes with one. Too funny good idea bro
I Really Love Watching Your Videos!!!! Not Only Are They Informative, But Entertaining As Well!!!! You're A Super Cool And Awesome Dad As Well, And Your Daughter Makes Me Want To Purchase A Rockler Dust Collection System, Just So My Great Niece And Nephew Can Have Fun Too!!!! LOL!!!!🤣🤣🤣 Keep Up The Great Work, And Awesome Videos!!!!
Hi Chris, awesome video and enjoy it. Little bit of boxing and shop project together, great idea. Stay safe .
Thank you so much you stay safe my friend
No worries Man, we all multi-tasking. Woodworking and babysitting😁
Great video. I regret buying that style of dust collection hose. They are heavy and cause a lot of stress on my tools. Seems to effect drum sanders alignment of the head to the bed if I don’t have something supporting the hose. I’d add a cyclone to that system to make it even better
Definitely thinking about a cyclone for sure. That’s a shame about the weight of the hose and what you’re experiencing. I haven’t noticed that just yet
I just purchased this same unit! Great job on mounting and all the French Cleats, excellent concept, going to spend the weekend being a copy cat, ha!! Thank you again for all your great content!!
Thank you brother I’m still enjoying the unit and I know you will too. Great upgrade
Let’s see if you still prove that inner self wrong. Stumbled across this some what older video and am now thinking about the rockler as a “more” budget friendly option as an upgrade to my shopvac system. Peace out Chris love the video’s
I’m glad you like your split AC system. Wait till it breaks down. Everyone that I know that has a split system says the worst part about it is that you CAN’T get parts when it craps out!
