Milk, I'm suprised you even know where that auxiliary handle is! That's the first thing I lose whenever I get a new drill and my wrists always suffer for it haha. Great video man!
Milk, I have a Ryobi drill and an old Ryobi circular saw. They both use the same batteries. The old circular saw came from a thrift store: the junkyard of very inexpensive, forgotten tools without batteries. They’ve both impressed me with their longevity and resilience. My wood-shop is also stocked with a few low-budget tools, but I keep everything sharp, clean, and maintained and I get the jobs done. I just found your channel and am enjoying your videos. Thank you. 👍🏻
@@SpencleyDesignCo You can’t go wrong with the trim router (even though yours crashed and burned), but the drill/driver and impact drill have never let me down either.
Milk - Nice work! I think I will be building one myself. Oh, has anyone mentioned that your doppelgänger is Shaun Boyd from ‘Shawn Boyd Made This’ and ‘Foureyes Furniture’?
Milk and honey, the boom arm is nice. My shop is also in a small one-car garage and I use a regular shop vac instead of big dust collection system. I am thinking that I could also run the air compressor hose through a boom arm like that. My green tools have served me well for the most part. However, my standard sized wired router was crap. I eventually replaced it with a DeWalt. For a batter powered palm router, I might still consider the Ryobi since I have several other tools from them. Thanks for your videos for those of us who don't have tens of thousands of dollars to invest in high end esoteric tools.
mirk. Viewing this a few years later, just discovered your channel and have watched [too] many videos in last day. Good stuff! Also, use mostly Ryobi and some dewalt (RO sander and table saw). I like the Ryobi platform!
Way to MILK Ryobi for all they are worth! :) I have no problem with them as a startup tool but having used Ryobi, Makita and DeWalt tools for quite a few years, Ryobi is not even close in quality. But, if you are already invested in the line using battery powered tools it would be a major pain to transition away from them. For my money, however, I would start the process - especially if you are hoping to build this into a full time career. Next time a battery tool fails, if it is not replaced free, pick a quality brand (IMO, go with DeWalt 20V stuff) and run down to the local pawn shop or find a used/reconditioned tool online and pick up what you need. Almost all of my DeWalt stuff was purchased that way (mostly at a pawn shop) for about the same price as new Ryobi stuff. Yes, you run a risk of getting a tool that is used up but, over the years, I that has only happened once to me. What I would not depend on used are batteries. I have about 4 batteries I swap out in all my tools. When they go bad -- and they do -- I replace them with a new one.
@@SpencleyDesignCo My favorite Ryobi tools are a biscuit jointer and a circular saw -- neither are battery powered. I began my move away from Ryobi when my trim router kicked the bucket. I thought it was a fine tool but ended up spending a bit more at a pawn shop for a 20V DeWalt trim router and was amazed how much better it was. Most of my tools, though, have been corded Makita tools which I very pleased with but am slowing replacing with battery powered DeWalt stuff. Once you get sucked in to a battery powered vortex it is tough to get out!
Milk - Thanks for the Vlog Enjoyed it as I have a small garage workshop as well. Envious of all those on the RUclips with huge workshops and fancy tools 👍
Milk does a body good, and It is the whole reason we have ICE CREAM!!! I started my contracting company with Ryobi and I had those same tools until I had to shut the doors due to my spine injury and becoming an only parent one night in 2013 of a 3 month old son. had to sell them a few years ago to try to make ends meet. I still miss them and I wish I hadn't had to let them go but kids grow fast and I was practically buying him new clothes every few months.
Milk-the Ryobi tools I have, have been great so far. I'm waiting for the craftsman drills I have to crap out before I switch. I have the luxury of having a Direct Tools Outlet across the street from where I work, so I can go get whatever I need or whatever I think I may want whenever the need arises. The wife hates it, but I'm usually with my boss, so she knows I won't be too stupid. Enjoying the videos, brother. Keep 'em coming!
@@SpencleyDesignCo it's the ryobi/ridgid store. They sell the reconditioned or off spec products that don't make it to Home Depot. My ryobi jig saw is a little lighter color of green in some spots and darker in others. They said it wouldn't make it to the store, so I got it for $20. They're opening all over the U.S. I happen to be across the road from the corporate offices in SC. We buy a ton of tools for the plant from there.
Milk and nice boom arm! I appreciate the craftsmanship and in regards to Ryobi tools I’ve had decent ones such as their Brad nailer and others not so great. You pay for what you get, but if it’s all you can afford to get started go for it!
Milk - the ryobi tools aren't great but they have SO MANY options that all work with the same battery. All of my battery powered tools that I bought in the last few years are Ryobi, and for anything that needs a little more "oomph" I just buy the best corded option within my budget.
Milk and cookies. The boom arm turned out great! Quite liked this video! I've been considering building one of these boom arms ever since seeing Jon's video. Your video made me decide it's definitely something I need. Well done, Eric! Unfortunately, I have had too many green tools fail on me to even consider walking down the green tool section at the hardware store - even though the prices are sometimes very tempting. I now save up a bit more and spend money on a different colour tool, just so I don't have to deal with frustrations down the road. I realise this is a luxury not many people have though.
@@SpencleyDesignCo I know some don't like it, but I quite like orange as I have so many of their battery operated tools now which I can also use in the garden. I do like blue/green and yellow too. Also, I just realised from your video, hammer drilling is not only ear-numbing, but can also be hand-numbing. How did your hands feel after drilling all those holes?
I grew up with my dad using Ryobi, so I have purchased the newer Ryobi tools for my shop. I’ve never had an issue with my tools, they work as advertised and keep my projects going!
Milk. I think Ryobi tools are great for folks who are trying out woodworking but who aren't sure about or who are on a tight budget. I really like this video and will be putting an overhead boom-arm in my shop.
I’ve been trying to tackle some outdoor furniture. Have you seen those prices?? Wow. I have designs for an outdoor sectional couch. So how about a outdoor coffee table??
Milk: it's what cookies were designed for. ;-) If it's a tool I know I'll be using on even a moderate basis, I won't skimp on it. For a trim router, the ridgid, makita, dewalt (corded versions) are all amazing little routers. Cordless is a great luxury to have, but they can be pricey. I've been very happy with the M18 trim routers I have, as well as my corded ridgid trimmers (R2401).
Eric, in my search for a vac hose boom arm I just found yours and I have a question. Would 1/2" ACX plywood work for this project. 3/4" Perch plywood is still too rich for my wallet. 1/2" ACX is just affordable to me. Thx, Red
I knew when I saw Lincoln St. Woodworks do this there would be many variations to come! It’s a great concept and it’s nice to grab a few features from each one. Thank You!!
Agree about Ryobi tools. They aren't the best, but for me, a DIYer, they are usually sufficient. I have a 5.0AH and a 5.5AH battery and those two solve the only real problem I have with them, drill, strimmer or whatever.
The hammer function probably didn't do much for you on that. Impact driver actually would have been better. Anyway, love from Columbus! Keep up the good work man, I'm rooting for you! Oh milk :-) lol
milk i am thinking of a boom are in my 2 car garage that we still park in where is your shop vac in relation to boom arm and how long a shop vac hose are you using?
MILK, my favorite drink! Ryobi tools have worked for me for many years. I have over 20 different tools. I have a combination of new Yellow & the old Blue ones. Looking forward to some of them wearing out so I can try the new brushless models.
Milk.. really like the design. Saw Jon’s and planning to build a boom. I love sanding as much as the next guy🤮and anything to make it less annoying. I have a couple of blue ryobi tools and they are fine. I use my 10” drill press often. I’ll have to check out your podcast with Jon. He’s hilarious. PALLET WOOD!!!
Milk, and nice build. By the way, where is your vacuum? I see, what I suspect, is your connection going up the wall, but don’t see or hear you complaining about its noise?
Milk. Thanks for the build video! I may modify it to use some rigid PVC in place of some of the ShopVac hose. We'll see. I do have a request. I use the free version of SketchUp and can't open the Pro edition files you include with the plans. Is it possible for you to save files in a different format that I can open?
Here's my top 5 tool brands: Dewalt Ryobi Makita (would've been 2nd if they weren't more then a 90s F250 for 6 tools) Skil (haven't actually used any but I've seen the stuff they do for prices that are insane) Flex (same as skil and probably would be 4th if they dropped the sketchy marketing) None of the above would hold up well after being exposed to milk tho... Also why are you using the hammer mode for concrete drilling with a spade bit lmfao.
@@SpencleyDesignCo Bosch belongs in a bin unless you buy the big corded tools, porter cable litteraly no longer exists unless you go to tractor supply and Lowes doesn't exist in Canada.
MILK 🥛 Thanks again my friend. I will try to make similar for my shed so the hose doesn’t get in my way. I am restricted moving about due to my disability, so this will give me some room for me to move about in the tiny shed. I also got your 2 tool workbench part list downloaded and hoping to make one to replace the bulky one that was already there by the previous owner of the shed. I do not have a zoom zoom pocket hole jig as yours, but a very simple basic metal thingy, so it will be a bit challenging. Saying that I’m not in a hurry, so that’s ok for now. I’m hoping to make one pocket hole jig (credit to JSK koubou - a Japanese guy here on RUclips) soon. Hopefully it will be affordable for me comparing Kreg’s although I would love to have one if I could. Anyways, take care my brother. “Our World is a Shared Experience”… Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* … 🖖
Milk. Nice work. Definitely going to build this. I have just mounted an overhead hoist using unitrax so I have reduced my "ceiling space" to build this. Still gonna try. Keepem coming. Gonna subscribe now..
(milk :) ) - my ryobi did exactly the same, the shaft had actually sheared inside the router body so there was some grib based purely on friction but as soon as you aply side pressure the sheared shaft detaches and the router stalls.
Milk freezes where we are too. Which brings me to my question: I live in the panhandle of ID and I've found my wood glue is pretty much worthless in the (unheated) shop during our 6 months of winter weather. You appear to have similar weather, so how do you get around the negative impact winter has on your glue-ups? Thanks.
Nice vid. Ryobi…gets the job done and if that’s what your budget is….I’m not a fan of throwing shade. To be honest I’ve gotten beyond tool envy as long as it’s still just a hobby. Earlier today I watched as TWW used $33k worth of stuff to make a wooden spatula. Props to you for the shout out to Lincoln Street as I immediately recognized his similar overhead arm project. Lastly and hopefully you didn’t give up on the post…Milk. And none of that 2% stuff in this house..😜
I started using ryobi, however after like my second tool i switched to dewalt, which my family already had a few tools from. Ryobi isn't bad persay, however if u can/will spend the money, i prefer dewalt. its kinda personal choice: comfort and look(i love dewalt look) vs price. For most things anyone does, a drill from dewalt isn't going to have a big power increase than one from ryobi. its mostly the qol features.
MILK: Great idea. 2 questions: 1) Do you lose suction with the longer hose? 2) How often do you need to take it all apart to clean the sawdust out of the corrugated hose?
Milk. Here in South Africa the Ryobi range is considered pretty ok and is not always inexpensive. My preference is Mikita tools but I do have a few Ryobi handhelds. Thanks for the video.
MIlk I don't understand the Ryobi hate I had the same Ryobi drill for 10 years with the original batteries and only have a new one now because I smoked it out drilling 3/4 inch holes with a spade bit during an electrical install on a fresh built garage. The issue was my fault for using the faster speed and a super aggressive diablo spade bit. But a quick trip to home depot and I had a new drill. I didn't turn in the old one bc it was WAY out of warrantee. So I hopped online and got a fresh replacement motor and few days later swapped out the motors and now I have 2 drills. This took about half an hour and was really easy. I bought that drill as a Christmas set 10 years ago and the drill is the only tool to need replacing, Ill honestly never buy another brand unless there is a tool they don't make. They really need to get on the domino band wagon IMHO.
MILK! Sorry, I meant to ask a question. Did you drill the holes in the boom just to make it lighter? If so, did you choose drilling the holes (as opposed, say, to cutting a long mortise) for some particular reason? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Milk - I have been watching your channel for 3 -4 months now and your comment on Ryobi tools is understandable, however I have found them to be very reliable. My first Ryobi tools was a weed eater and I worked it until the motor was so hot you could not touch it, and I thought I had burn't it up, but it keep running. I could not kill this tool, so I have purchased many more of the battery powered tools and again have not been able to kill them. I did have to cleaned up the commutator on sawzall and it still runs. the only other power tools I will purchase is the Milwaukee tools also hard to kill.
Milk, FYI I have watched your videos on my TV for awhile, therefore, I have not being able to type you key words! so, I have watched you r videos all the way to the end! I just wanted to mention that!
Milk I wish I had your skill level. When you were just starting, was there a specific project you were working on that you noticed your skills developing?
Boom arms are awesome, but they can sure drink allot of milk! If I had seen this video before I bought the Festool version, I would have gone your route. Nice work! Good idea!
Milk, really like the boom arm idea and plan on putting one in my new shop, I’m in the UK and timber/lumber prices are crazy here too so new shop is taking time to get done 😩 Nice video, looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Thanks! I’ve got tools from just about every brand. I’ve not so much worried about the brand as much as I am about the features the tool has. What’s your “go to” brand?
My suggestion would be to stick to the same battery platform until YOU KNOW that you NEED to upgrade for certain features. There’s always an allure of getting new tools, but unless you’re stifled by your current selection you’re just wasting money. You got this! 😀
Well milk! I’m going to put a dust pickup guard on my table saw and could be just what I need to support the hose for it and have an arm for using the sander on the table extension.
Okay I have to make one more comment. You definitely need a drill press if you’re going to be making repeated holes with a fostner bit and don’t want to waste hours on lining them all up.
“Milk” this was awesome, and is perfect for my small shop, plus it’s great to see similar tools to mine. All except the woodpecker gear which is expensive to get over here in Australia! It’s now my next project.

Good job 👏 👍
Thanks, Eric! Anything you’d like to see me build in the future?
Milk, nicely done! For me it’s the router cord when I am using circle templates. This is on my list of wants in my shop
Ohhh I didn’t even think of that! Do you cut circles out a lot?
@@SpencleyDesignCo not a ton, but the cord of my router is a pain every time I do!
I can imagine!! I’ve seen something people simple dangle a extension cord from the ceiling or get one of those retractable power cords

I don't use a shop vac, I use a dry only tub vac made in the UK. Sure it was 400$ but I can use it as my main house vacuum and a dust extractor.
Nice
MILK - Nice project and work
Milk; Nice project. My shop is a single car garage so it doing woodworking on a submarine. I’m going to see where I can use this.
Thanks Brian! Any projects you’d like to see me try in the future?
Milk, milk, lemonade….😂
I saw John’s boom arm too, and now I really want to put one up. I hate dragging my cord and hose around too.
Here's my top 5 tool brands:
Dewalt
Ryobi
Makita (would've been 2nd if they weren't more then a 90s F250 for 6 tools)
Skil (haven't actually used any but I've seen the stuff they do for prices that are insane)
Flex (same as skil and probably would be 4th if they dropped the sketchy marketing)
None of the above would hold up well after being exposed to milk tho...
Also why are you using the hammer mode for concrete drilling with a spade bit lmfao.
What about kobalt, porter cable, and Bosch?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Bosch belongs in a bin unless you buy the big corded tools, porter cable litteraly no longer exists unless you go to tractor supply and Lowes doesn't exist in Canada.
MILK 🥛
Thanks again my friend. I will try to make similar for my shed so the hose doesn’t get in my way. I am restricted moving about due to my disability, so this will give me some room for me to move about in the tiny shed. I also got your 2 tool workbench part list downloaded and hoping to make one to replace the bulky one that was already there by the previous owner of the shed. I do not have a zoom zoom pocket hole jig as yours, but a very simple basic metal thingy, so it will be a bit challenging. Saying that I’m not in a hurry, so that’s ok for now. I’m hoping to make one pocket hole jig (credit to JSK koubou - a Japanese guy here on RUclips) soon. Hopefully it will be affordable for me comparing Kreg’s although I would love to have one if I could. Anyways, take care my brother. “Our World is a Shared Experience”…
Remember, *_Life_* is *_Short_* so *_Live Long_* and *_Prosper_* … 🖖
Milk. Great job keeping the video under 10 mins! Nice neat project.
It’s tough to keep these short 🤣 any projects you’d like to see me make next?
I hve been thinking about a boom for a trouble light , got a lot of car work to do on different cars nice plans. and MILK
You should make one, jay! How big is the shop?
Idea good. Looks like lots of work and I am lazy. I may try something that has holes in them already. What do you think we are - woodworkers.
😂 woodworkers love to over complicate things though
@@SpencleyDesignCo I was being sarcastic.
Yo milk, man! Nothing to say really just want the algorithm to smile upon you 😃
Thanks so much! Any projects you’d like to see me try in the future?
No question, but I thought I'd MILK this for all it's worth!
Thanks for the support, Bob! Any projects you’d like to see in the future?
Not every tool needs to be TOTL. All about ROI. It's a rabbit hole one can sink in if not careful.
Milk. Nice work. Definitely going to build this. I have just mounted an overhead hoist using unitrax so I have reduced my "ceiling space" to build this. Still gonna try. Keepem coming. Gonna subscribe now..
In all my years using drills, I never thought of using the hammer setting on wood. I’ll be giving that a go 👍👍
🤣 it’s not what it’s meant for, but it works! Any projects you’d like to see me try in the future?
give it a shot :)
(milk :) ) - my ryobi did exactly the same, the shaft had actually sheared inside the router body so there was some grib based purely on friction but as soon as you aply side pressure the sheared shaft detaches and the router stalls.
Oh man that stinks! Were you able to get it replaced for free?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Nope, 1 month out of warranty’ it was barely used too.
Ahh that’s a bummer. You might consider taking it in anyway. Mine was out of warranty and they still replaced it
Milk freezes where we are too. Which brings me to my question: I live in the panhandle of ID and I've found my wood glue is pretty much worthless in the (unheated) shop during our 6 months of winter weather. You appear to have similar weather, so how do you get around the negative impact winter has on your glue-ups? Thanks.
Nice vid. Ryobi…gets the job done and if that’s what your budget is….I’m not a fan of throwing shade. To be honest I’ve gotten beyond tool envy as long as it’s still just a hobby. Earlier today I watched as TWW used $33k worth of stuff to make a wooden spatula. Props to you for the shout out to Lincoln Street as I immediately recognized his similar overhead arm project. Lastly and hopefully you didn’t give up on the post…Milk. And none of that 2% stuff in this house..😜
Thanks for watching, Ted! Any projects you’d like to see me try in the future?
I started using ryobi, however after like my second tool i switched to dewalt, which my family already had a few tools from. Ryobi isn't bad persay, however if u can/will spend the money, i prefer dewalt. its kinda personal choice: comfort and look(i love dewalt look) vs price. For most things anyone does, a drill from dewalt isn't going to have a big power increase than one from ryobi. its mostly the qol features.
Milk. I thought lumber prices in VA were high. Turns out...not so bad.
They’re definitely rough these days 🤣
Milk - Yea, Ryobi is inexpensive and with the exceptions of my Rigid corded belt sander and my Dewalt Plunge router, I'm entirely Ryobi.
Hey, MILK-man, look up Mullet Dust Collection Boom Arm for ideas about making a movable overhead arm or copy it.
I've done two basement refinishes and built a whole 12x24 mountain cabin from a dirt patch using Ryobi (mostly) tools. Whiners gonna whine.
MILK: Great idea. 2 questions: 1) Do you lose suction with the longer hose? 2) How often do you need to take it all apart to clean the sawdust out of the corrugated hose?
Milk. Here in South Africa the Ryobi range is considered pretty ok and is not always inexpensive. My preference is Mikita tools but I do have a few Ryobi handhelds. Thanks for the video.
Milk...I will use this in my shop. Thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching!
MIlk
I don't understand the Ryobi hate I had the same Ryobi drill for 10 years with the original batteries and only have a new one now because I smoked it out drilling 3/4 inch holes with a spade bit during an electrical install on a fresh built garage. The issue was my fault for using the faster speed and a super aggressive diablo spade bit.
But a quick trip to home depot and I had a new drill. I didn't turn in the old one bc it was WAY out of warrantee. So I hopped online and got a fresh replacement motor and few days later swapped out the motors and now I have 2 drills. This took about half an hour and was really easy.
I bought that drill as a Christmas set 10 years ago and the drill is the only tool to need replacing, Ill honestly never buy another brand unless there is a tool they don't make. They really need to get on the domino band wagon IMHO.
MILK! Sorry, I meant to ask a question. Did you drill the holes in the boom just to make it lighter? If so, did you choose drilling the holes (as opposed, say, to cutting a long mortise) for some particular reason? Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Yes I did, you could do cut outs too, but I liked the way the holes looked
Milk - I have been watching your channel for 3 -4 months now and your comment on Ryobi tools is understandable, however I have found them to be very reliable. My first Ryobi tools was a weed eater and I worked it until the motor was so hot you could not touch it, and I thought I had burn't it up, but it keep running. I could not kill this tool, so I have purchased many more of the battery powered tools and again have not been able to kill them. I did have to cleaned up the commutator on sawzall and it still runs. the only other power tools I will purchase is the Milwaukee tools also hard to kill.
Milk, FYI I have watched your videos on my TV for awhile, therefore, I have not being able to type you key words! so, I have watched you r videos all the way to the end! I just wanted to mention that!
Milk I wish I had your skill level. When you were just starting, was there a specific project you were working on that you noticed your skills developing?
Boom arms are awesome, but they can sure drink allot of milk! If I had seen this video before I bought the Festool version, I would have gone your route. Nice work! Good idea!
There are about 50 ryobi drills in the machine shop i work in. Even a few old blue ones. Cheap and turn a bit. Why spend more?
Milk. All my cordless are Ryobi and I have no complaints. Now I am just starting so I’m learning
Milk, really like the boom arm idea and plan on putting one in my new shop, I’m in the UK and timber/lumber prices are crazy here too so new shop is taking time to get done 😩 Nice video, looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
Thanks for checking out the video! Any projects you'd like to see me tackle next?
How about any easy drill storages unit...
Milk - All of my cordless tools are Ryobi. I've never felt they weren't up to any challenge I've thrown at them.
Milk : Great video, what tool group would you upgrade to from Ryobi?
Thanks! I’ve got tools from just about every brand. I’ve not so much worried about the brand as much as I am about the features the tool has. What’s your “go to” brand?
Right now I just mainly have Ryobi. Was looking to upgrade in the future to something with more features but not sure what yet
My suggestion would be to stick to the same battery platform until YOU KNOW that you NEED to upgrade for certain features. There’s always an allure of getting new tools, but unless you’re stifled by your current selection you’re just wasting money. You got this! 😀
@@erljohns29 I'd just upgrade to the brushless ryobi, and if you really have to upgrade dewalt 20v
What about craftsman?
Well milk! I’m going to put a dust pickup guard on my table saw and could be just what I need to support the hose for it and have an arm for using the sander on the table extension.
Milk.... Haha. That's awesome. I love your content and built the clamp rack and plan to build this too. Thanks!
Thanks for the support Wayne! Any projects you’d like to see in the future?
Okay I have to make one more comment. You definitely need a drill press if you’re going to be making repeated holes with a fostner bit and don’t want to waste hours on lining them all up.
MILK… that’s this weekends project sorted, thanks for a simple but great idea,
“Milk” this was awesome, and is perfect for my small shop, plus it’s great to see similar tools to mine. All except the woodpecker gear which is expensive to get over here in Australia! It’s now my next project.
Thanks for watching!
Milk keep it up dude really like some of your video & thought I let you know by say (MILK)...
What about chocolate milk 🤣 love your work
Chocolate milk is good too! Any projects you’d like to see me try in the future?
