Milk. Really interesting way to deal with hose, no need to run dedicated hoses all over your shop and adding the power cord plugged into a switch is icing on the cake. Thanks.
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, 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. 👍🏻
Milk. I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and it has been really interesting and nice to see the changes and constant improvement in your presentation. Not only are you improving the quality of the videos, but your woodworking technique is better. You have pretty good ideas overall which I can actually use to improve my own shop, skills and technique. Thank you
“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.
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.
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 - 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.
I have been through 3 generations of Ryobi cordless tools and have generally loved them, esp. the latest brushless motor drill. Having said that, I have that same router and generally hate it due to its tendency to let bits wander while cutting. Having said THAT, I haven’t gotten rid of it yet and find it useful for using it just as you did, doing lots of tiny (1/8” - 1/4”) roundover cuts.
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: 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.. 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 - 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, 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 👍🏻
Milk. As a master HVAC technician and class A contractor for 30 years I’ve used mostly Ryobi tools and have always felt they deliver a good value. Every once in a while I’d pay for a pricier brand but generally stuck with what worked. Most of my retirement woodworking shop is Ryobi and I’m pretty happy.
Drink more milk!! Love your videos!! Just upgraded my entire dust collection system to run off of a CamVac instead of a Harbor Freight 1½hp dust collector. The insane increase in air flow and especially static pressure made it possible to use a vacuum hose with my central dust collection system. Building a boom arm is my next step. Thanks for the video!!
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 👍
Hmmm, Milk You’ve given me an idea to create something similar but allowing for a 180 degree swing, piped into a 55 gallon plastic lidded tub as a collector. It’ll save me having to drag the tub around the shop as I vacuum. Cheers, and keep up the excellent work. From across the pond!
@@SpencleyDesignCo I have the 55gal tub with direct vacuum hoses, in/out connected up to an old Dyson DC 39, and I trundle that around the floor of the garage workshop as needed. A simple spring and bolt acts as a pressure valve to stop it imploding if the inlet becomes blocked
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?
Milk- such a neat and simple idea. I’ve been trying to come up with ideas on how to keep hoses out of the way and this is a lot easier than the way I was coming up. You were close to hitting that light on your test swing 😂
Just keep doing what you’re doing! Love your content and just recently finished making your flip top from the plans on Etsy. I only have a garage to work in so space saving ideas are what I need. Keep up the good work!
It went really smooth. You made the instructions dummy proof which was perfect for me 😂 I definitely recommend this to anyone who is working with a small space
(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.
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?
Milk. I've been very tempted to do something like this. The trick is figuring out where to put this in a garage. I saw John's boom arm as well and liked the idea.
@@SpencleyDesignCo The center wouldn't work as I there's a car there, plus all of my "workshop" is at one end of the garage, wedged between cabinets, storage wall and the water heater/furnace. I think the one wall at the end would be the best place, perhaps connect it with a Dust Right dust collector. That's down the road though. I'll put some thoughts together on projects.
@@SpencleyDesignCo I haven't bought it yet but it looks like a nice upgrade from a shopvac. Would be useful for the table saw and thickness planer, plus for cleaning up the shop area.
@@SpencleyDesignCo only thing I'm looking at building right away is an entrance way coat/boot rack organizer for 7. Any suggestions there would be cool. Otherwise I just got into wood working this past October. I volunteered for the build team on a Youth Theater Company and somehowbecame the lead builder, lol. I've built a set for ELF and Peter Pan so far. Hopefully as my skills and knowledge improve I can build nicer projects like tables, and new patio furniture.
MILK. This is a great design. I was thinking along with adding the power cord I could add an air line with the retractable spool handing below the end. Now you have vacuum, power and air! The tandem power switch for the tool and vacuum is great. I've used one for a while now and give them as gifts to my weekend woodworking friends. I started out with Ryobi and am now transitioning to DeWalt. Ryobi has served me well. I fell in love with pocket hole jigs a few years ago. Kreg makes some great tools and accessories.
@@SpencleyDesignCo Years ago I bought a Ryobi tool package that included a chop saw, drill, speed saw, 4" circular saw and reciprocating saw all in a nice carry all suit case/work top carrier. The tool that surprised me the most was the reciprocating saw. Being cordless made it so useful for demo work, working on my old truck and PVC pipe work. I would have never guessed how many times that thing got me out of a jam.
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??
That is a really nice arm. As I was watching the video I realized that I could build the same thing for a fraction of the cost and do it in about 15 minutes by simply using pvc. It won't look as nice as yours but shoud work out fine.
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
Awesome idea there Eric. My hose is too short though...it'd reach up the wall, but that would be it! Maybe need to see about an extension, or drink some milk!
Thanks, Paul! I just connected another hose to the end and it works great! You could also buy a longer hose on the Amazon. Any projects you’d like to see me build in the future?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Hmmm ...tough one! TBH I always gain something from most of them....so please keep doing ones you need for yourself. I'm always in awe of YT creators....I dabble in the odd video, and I know how many hours of work is needed to create a "simple" 10 minute video 🙏🙏🙏
@@SpencleyDesignCo Ok, as you asked nicely (twice!) I always like to see table saw jigs / tips for odd cuts....tapering a long board etc. Now I think of it....a cheaper way than those damned expensive rollers to hold up long planks either side of the saw........
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).
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! 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! 😀
Milk. Where is the shop vac located? How long does it make the hose and do you lose suction? I’m in the process of building a 12X14 shed shop for myself and am looking for any ideas on saving space. Thanks for the video
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?
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! 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.
Why are you trying to MILK the hell out of that duct tape? I may have to do that for my setup since I’ve already spent too much on everything else in a matter of weeks 🤣
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?

Oh nice! I’ve got a recip saw but still never used it 😂
What about chocolate milk 🤣 love your work
Chocolate milk is good too! Any projects you’d like to see me try in the future?
MILK. Love the idea as I am looking for ideas for a boom are for my cnc. Thanks
Milk…enjoyed it. Think it’s time to make one. Thank you.
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?
Why did you paint your table saw? Was it in a video I missed?
How would you attached the arm to a steel I beam, any suggestion?
Milk. Great videos! Keep it up!! Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content! Good luck! Thanks again.
Thank you very much, Shawn! any projects you’d like to see me make next?
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??
If price is what you’re after, you’ll be better off buying one 😂 lumber is crazy right now
@@SpencleyDesignCo both outdoor furniture and lumber is crazy. Hope it gets better soon!!
I’ve got one outdoor piece for ya to check out: ruclips.net/video/kbHP4S0Fjrc/видео.html
What program our you using for the diagrams?
MILK Imma binge watch a few of these tonight.
That is a really nice arm. As I was watching the video I realized that I could build the same thing for a fraction of the cost and do it in about 15 minutes by simply using pvc. It won't look as nice as yours but shoud work out fine.
You could also use zip ties
@@SpencleyDesignCo Really? Smart ass.

Recently had Jon on my podcast too! anchor.fm/offthecutpodcast
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
Awesome idea there Eric. My hose is too short though...it'd reach up the wall, but that would be it! Maybe need to see about an extension, or drink some milk!
Thanks, Paul! I just connected another hose to the end and it works great! You could also buy a longer hose on the Amazon. Any projects you’d like to see me build in the future?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Hmmm ...tough one! TBH I always gain something from most of them....so please keep doing ones you need for yourself. I'm always in awe of YT creators....I dabble in the odd video, and I know how many hours of work is needed to create a "simple" 10 minute video 🙏🙏🙏
🤣 yeah it’s a lot of work. But it’s something I really enjoy. Any shop projects you can think of that lots of people would enjoy?
@@SpencleyDesignCo Ok, as you asked nicely (twice!) I always like to see table saw jigs / tips for odd cuts....tapering a long board etc. Now I think of it....a cheaper way than those damned expensive rollers to hold up long planks either side of the saw........
Oh that’s a neat idea!
Milk - you have to have the tool and the vacuum plugged in to i-socket, correct?
Correct, you can run an extension cord if needed
Milk, that's pretty cool! It reminds me of a big machine gun barrel. 🔫 lol
Milk-where is your actual shop vac sitting in relation to the boom arm? Have you noticed that long of a hose as detrimental to your “sucking” power.
I moved it up into the rafters to clear up floor space. No problem with the suction though! Any projects you’d like to see me do in the future?
Milk, great video. 👍 Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! ANy project you would like to see in the future?
None that I can think of. Just enjoying the videos you are producing. Thank you for those.
I really appreciate the support!
Milk does the body good. ;-) Nice job.
Milk, now contemplating the wireless ryobi to complement my other 5 second/third-hand routers with dedicated functions
It’s not a bad buy at like $50 🤷♂️
Milk - how long is the shop vac hose? Seems like it would need to be waaaay longer than what comes with the vac and that distance would reduce suction
It’s about 15 feet or so
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).
Thanks for watching!
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?
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?
Milk. Where is the shop vac located? How long does it make the hose and do you lose suction? I’m in the process of building a 12X14 shed shop for myself and am looking for any ideas on saving space. Thanks for the video
I ended up putting the shop vac up in the rafters where my dust collector is. Doesn’t seem to reduce the suction
Milk I live in the netherlands so the only brand of power tools I know is bosch
All Ryobi, all the time.
Milk. There, you win. Cool project!
PS... I actually watched the whole video. I watch all your videos, milk or otherwise.
I'm a fan of pocket screws,but I cannot hold a candle 🕯 too you..😅
Milk! Great video and project! Ryobi definitely does not get the credit it deserves haha.. my whole garage was Ryobi when I started out
Thanks for watching! What do you think the most underrated ryobi tool is?
I would have to say it's a toss up between the trim router and drill/impact driver. I still use those on almost every project.
Good choices! Any tools you want to grab in the future?
Yeah, I would eventually like to get a drum sander
Oh nice! Any particular one you’re eyeing?
Melk, Why do they call a building a building, if it’s already built?
Hey, MILK-man, look up Mullet Dust Collection Boom Arm for ideas about making a movable overhead arm or copy it.
Milk. Simple idea well explained
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?
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!
Thanks for sharing
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
Why are you trying to MILK the hell out of that duct tape? I may have to do that for my setup since I’ve already spent too much on everything else in a matter of weeks 🤣
The only problem with screwing the box at the back directly to the wall is it only swings out to 90 degrees?
Yes, but you could put the hinge in another spot if you needed to pivot more
Milk! Some of the best ideas are relatively simple.
The credit goes to Jon at Lincoln st woodworks! Any other projects you’d like to see me tackle?
Milk. Link for the sprayer? Thanks
Here ya go! amzn.to/3LxJKBr
Any videos you’d like to see me make in the future?
Milk, the video was great
Thanks for watching! Any projects you’d like to see me make in the future?
MILK. Any thoughts on better lighting for the space? No complaints, but I was just picking your brain.
Check out my shop tour video and you’ll learn why I can’t upgrade that any more 🤣
milk also love the podcast :)
Thanks so much for watching and listening! If you have a topic or question you want us to discuss, send it it 😀
Milk: cool boom arm! Did you get an extra long hose for your vac to use this?
I just connected another hose to the end, but an extra long one would work too!
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?
