Great Video 👍 is there an adapter for Women 😂💥😎 only kidding. Lol

Next video, how to make the jig to drill the hole, don't waste your time on this one

Wanna make a hole on 7 ft for my traditional blowpipe project.

I like your videos Ray Wayne West.

your vacuum cleaner really sucks dont it...

Thanks, great job on the video, im putting it to work... Note: pi r square , No pie are round cake are squared.😅😅

Thanks, great reviews what about VicMarc and OneWay ?

idk if I'm retarded or something but those instructions are not making any sense to me

wow did you save my bacon ,

Your filming is awful.

I actually did this twice today and it was a struggle dig your jig I will definitely use it

All the noise comes from the top, where the motor is, I tried it and all it accomplished was wasting my time.

After being so careful to count your holes to preserve the 4.9 in² cross section for airflow, you then stuff your pipe full of foam baffles? I reckon that will restrict the airflow a lot more than the little holes. Also, dB is not an absolute measurement, it very much depends on how far away from the noise source you measure, and in which direction. You can't compare two measurements unless you are sure your microphone is in precisely the same spot both times. And along those lines, I also wish you had measured the noise difference just from redirecting the opening away from the phone. I.e., an elbow and a short pipe but _no muffler._ 'Cause I bet that's a lot of it.

nice tutorial

DO NOT NEVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER HOLD YOUR DOWL IN ONE HAND AND DRILL INTO IT WITH THE OTHER (as shown, don't even think about it).

I don't need a hole in my dowels, I need punch centers for the lathe spurs, the trouble with wooden dowels, is that even though you have the punch flat ,dead center, it will wonder just like a drill bit, not because of the design of either, but because of the stubborn grain in the wood that will push the center punch or bit to the weakest part of the dowel end, and be off center, like 50 t0 70% of the time. This method in the video would work I'm sure, it's a good idea/concept. If any of you are going to try this, I think you need to get a Forstner bit the exact size of the dowel diameter, and go from there, the smaller bit, lol, may wonder on you, but a drill guide might help. You may have to do more than one 'rig' to get it right.

I just want to say THANK YOU for posting this and sharing this amazing tip. The “miracle spray” just SAVED the day for my delivery taking place @4pm! Bless you ❤

Do you have a video that shows this process for a square (or not so square) piece of wood. Eg. a pen blank. Thanks

You da man!

Explanation is not good at all. Should have taken more time.

80 from 90 isint a 50% reduction its actually only like an 11.2% reduction

Oh wow, drill a pilot hole. What a new revelation.

Thank you! I will be assembling one of these for my wife‘s vacuum cleaner! I hate that thing!

used this to make mouthpieces for cigars. AMAZING results. 2mm bit. INCREDIBLY straight jigs

Geez... The "science" is useless... And this does nothing of the motor is plain and simple LOUD!! Buy a quiet shop vac. I have 3 different brands, and the ShopVac brand is the worst! Stanley is okay. Canadian Tire MasterCraft is the quietest, and good suction too!

Of curse when you have a drill press its so easy. I will like to see it done just with the hand drill. Make another video using only the hand drill and the wood stick and let us see how good you are.🤔🤨.

Not that easy. As others have pointed out, drilling the first hole straight is difficult due to the wood grain, which are going to deviate the drill bit off the wanted trajectory. And if you don't get that first hole right, then you have a problem. I find the best is to start by hand using a 1 mm think metal tool (not sure how it's called), then start to drill the hole slowly.

Its really quite simple brilliant. Thank you.

I tried this freehand and with a drill press, the drill kept wandering off center. Perhaps it works for most, but not for me.

Dude… that’s not reduced by 50%

We can see you working but we can't see what you're working with. Can't blame you if your filming yourself and you don't have a flip screen on your camera...

it would have been nice if you showed how you made the jig slower so it was easier to understand. I understand how you made the jig but how you got it large hole lined up with the larger hole.

nice thanks

Just use ear protection. Done.

Thanks. Very good and smart comments and conclusions. Always is good to learn something new. 👍🇺🇸🙏

Looks good. Boring machines rotate the stock, not the drill. Much more accurate because rotating the stock automatically corrects itself. The combination of small pilot holes and rotating the stock will give you a perfect hole.

Where is the material list man.. and bring the camera down to see what the hell your doing!! That was like watching a concert beside a column..

But how due you ensure the hole in the block is perpendicular/ true ?

Been doing that for years.A no brainer.

what about proper wood drills these drills on here are for metal.anybody got any ideas for using those.they have a flat shank mmmmm

Thanks!

Thank you for the knowledge. I am unlikely to complete this specific project, but 5-10 years from now I will encounter another piece of knowledge in a seemingly unrelated field and this videos knowledge will click together with my future problem like a final missing puzzle piece you find under the couch. I don’t want to be immortal, except I occasionally wish I could live long enough for all my stray/loose ends of knowledge to be tied to something personally and physically relevant.

Great tip. I'm just getting into turning pens from dowels and this will make drilling holes in the dowels very easy. Thanks for the video.

That stuff don't work

Hi Ray I enjoyed watching your videos been watching since the beginning glad to see you are back doing them. Wayne west

Just build a box to cover the entire vac and you will have a real reduction. Sorry, you already done that on the next video... Congrats.

I disagree with pi r squared. Everyone knows pi are round.😂

Okeefes is OVER RATED AND VERY Expensive

Where's the link for sharpening?

Your block jig was drilled on your drill press. No wonder you were able to get dead center. I was expecting some phenomenal tips to get this done exactly. If you don't have a drill press then you can't replicate what you did. Seems to me like one of those DUH moments.
