NVM wasnt thinking about that right i need to atttach the from end not the to end, this is why its 2.5.. got it!

First, thanks for watching! Secondly, it's 2". I am using a Rigid brand hose for the actual moving vacuum hose. It ends up being a little too big for the inner diameter of the straight 2" and too small to plug directly into a 2" coupler, that's why I had to make the flared out adapters

So far nothing on mine has loosened even a little. It's been very sturdy. And, overall, I haven't treated mine lightly, so I feel pretty confident in it. It's held up really well.

So far they seem to have held up just cleaning with a paper towel and a bit of water, but they definitely will show over time. I see a replacement pair of them eventually in my future, but for now, a couple years in, they're still holding up fairly scratch free

I haven't done it, but I don't see why not. You'd just have to make sure not to submerge the whole thing, as you'd want that un-stretched portions to remain as round as possible. I'll have to give it a shot, though. Thanks!

Just a note, I hate the phrase "keeping it real" but in this episode, hammer meet nail. Thanks@@theeverydaymakers

Thanks!

Thank ya. It was a fun little project. :) Thanks for watchin!

Nice! I've been super happy with mine. Plenty of room for what I need, but not too much to where I wanna weigh it down with every tool I own. :)

Thanks! I was entertaining myself when I was editing. :D

My shop is DEFINITELY next-level cluttered. One of the hazards of running multiple small businesses out of a one-stall garage. It's very much on my near life-plan to clean it, though. :D Thanks for watching!

A few suggestions, and suggestions are all they are. To combat snipe cut your boards longer then you need and cut the snipe end off. You get a lil waste but a much better end project. And on your glue ups, make a 90 degree jig to build in and use two loose boards on the other ends to clamp. Itll clean up your lines throughout the board. Make em more parallel. Other then that fantastic work man. I love the concept.

I'll have to give it a shot. The tube steel I use usually takes care of it, but I'm always up for a better way. :)

Thank you. :) I am pretty pleased with it. It was a fun project. And thanks for watching!

Thank you. :)

Thanks. Yeah, it's a very simple project that can turn something that's just a pain to store, or something that'll end up as junk into something handy. :)

I'm guessing it comes down to a lot of factors. Head shape, humidity, etc. Both of us have been lucky with them, but definitely can see where you're coming from with your experiences. When it comes to goggles of any sort, there's very much still gotta be a perfect pair out there somewhere

That's a solid idea. I'll have to look to see if I can find them available locally and see if I can integrate them into my current setup. Thanks for the tip!

Yes. They're both half-size and would be a great pair. I don't have the organizer, but I do have the backpack and it's been a good product.

Thank you for watching!

Thank you! Yes, I tried to get the job done to cover the things I needed without breaking the bank. :) Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I was just hoping somebody else would find it helpful to use for their own situation. Thanks for watching!

I do carry a couple DeWalt bit boxes, so I'll have to give that a try! They currently are just kinda free floating in the main area, but I AM a fan of finding a home for things. :) Thanks for watching!

Thank you! We appreciate you watching!

I definitely would not recommend heating too much of it in an enclosed space. That is very true. I'm not a scientist or anything, but better safe than sorry, I agree.

I'm glad you found it helpful, thanks for the watch and comment! And yes, that was part of this particular project was just figuring out a way to make everything work without spending a million bucks or taking up the whole garage with piping. And the best part is it's easily expandable as your needs grow and change. Good luck with your system!

@@theeverydaymakers thank you! I picked up a dustopper and I'm planning out how I want to set things up. I like the idea of having a hose to clean the bench off with, without having to take the one of the saw- so thinking a y pipe to a blast gate for that. How did you wire the light switch up for the saw? A plug coming from a wall, to the switch (where it can be turned on/off) to the power strip that's always on?

@@johnsilos3804 the saw is just hooked up to a power strip on the back of my work bench. I just have the remote switch box for the vacuum. It's just, basically, an extension cord to a switch, to an outlet, then the outlet into the vacuum. It's amazingly low-tech, but works well.

Definitely not a bad idea. Part of my reasoning is I can heat the part I want to soften while still retaining the structure of the side I don't want to change, allowing me to be more physical with it when stretching it around the hose ends. But yeah, an oven/toaster-oven isn't a bad idea at all. Thanks for the idea!

Thank ya! That's definitely our mission as "Everyday Makers". We're both just real guys with normal day jobs and bills. Just trying to enjoy our hobbies without breaking the bank. :)

Thank you! It was something I was fixing anyway, so I figured it might help somebody else out. Thanks for watching!

My fingers rarely get near the throat plate. From the angle it looks closer than it really is. I'm not a big push stick guy, even though I probably should be, but I tend to grab the back of the piece behind the blade and pull it through when it gets to the point so I'm out of kickback range, should something go wrong. I need to do a few top-down shots to give a better view so I don't look like as much of a dare devil. :)

It's just one of those silly little projects that people can't help but smile when they see em. :)

It's good to be back. :) Hopefully I can keep finding free time to do more projects...

Your did all the hard work figuring everything out, I just like some good ol plastic. :) Pretty much watched your video and ordered my block of HDPE before it was even over. :D Your design is fantastic!

That's very true. Everything I've ever had that had a tape measure hook always had a hard backing on it, so this one is a little unusual for me, but that's a really solid idea that I'm definitely gonna have to make that change. Thank ya! :)

So far I've been happy with the bag. It's done well by me.

Which veto bag would be the comp for this dewalt. I've been looking at veto for my hand tools but also need a drill bag.

A lot more cash for a veto. One heck of a lot more

Thank you! :) Just a nice, simple little project anybody can tackle.

I found it on an eBay listing. It's "Powertec" brand, and I think model #70144. Was about $5x.00 for 20ft. The pack came with a few of the thumb-screw hose clamps too. And thanks for watching! :)

I'm all about finding some dead space that I can make useful and combining that with those Harbor Freight boxes seemed like a match made in heaven. :) There's definitely prettier ways to do it and such, but for a cheap and easy project, this one has made my workbench much more useful for not much cash. Thanks for the watch!

Agreed. They're super handy and can't beat the price.

Working on making that a little more "pro".. So far I think I'm still in the Am of Pro-Am. :)

No. No it's not cool.. But did you see that Bears chair? :D

Thank you.. And yeah, Cricut's are a pretty cool system! Lots of fun things you can do with 'em!

Hi Kiddos. :)

I'm SO gonna get some Evaporust. One of the channels I watch uses it non-stop and I've been meaning to buy it, but using for my remaining block is a great idea!

They ARE surprisingly handy. Kind of one of those tools you don't think you'll need, but once you own one you can't remember what you did without it.
