Epoxy was strong enough for this project with no fasteners?

Hey Alex, thanks for watching! Yes Epoxy has held up just fine with daily use over the past couple of years. Only thing I would change is to put an extra support under the bottom shelf. She shelves tend to sag a little with time when only supported by the two end panels.

This is GREAT! I have a Makita impeller similar to Chris's Harbor Freight job. The setup Chris shows here will work well with the Makita and solves some problems I was facing in adapting it to work with a drum filter. I'm in Japan, by the way, and as far as I know this impeller and its accessories are not exported, in case anyone thinks of looking for it. It's made to use a large canvas and felt bag to catch particles large and small, which we all know will allow very fine particles to flow right through and be expelled into the shop's air space. Makita suggests using a long outfeed hose and putting the bag outside the shop. Heh. I've been thinking about employing a drum filter and some sort of large particle separator, and this video points the way. Thanks, Chris!

Hi there, I’m sorry I somehow missed your question. Yes I did rotate the blower housing. I don’t have a video, I did it before I started making them. If I remember correctly I just opened the housing and removed the screw’s mounting the housing behind the impeller and rotated it to the desired direction. I think you may have to remove the impeller to access the mounting screws. Hope that helps!

Hello! Great project. I have two questions: 1 - For folks that don't have a router, do you think we can accomplish something similar forthe rounded corners with a jigsaw + sanding? 2 - What type of wood did you use? 3 - What is the name of the tool you use with the table saw? That wood kind of box? Did you build that yourself?
@CustomCutsByChris Жыл бұрын
Hi Joan, thanks for the questions. Yes of course you could use a jigsaw to round the corners then sand smooth. I suggest using something round like the bottom of A spray can to trace the profile then cut to the line and sand smooth. I am using Baltic birch plywood for this project. I think the wood box you are referring to is a cross cut sled. I don’t have a specific video on it but there are lots of others KZbin.
