Awesome video! More like it please. This knowledge is golden.

[@Custom_EDC_Knives]

This is an amazing video. I need to get a dust collection set up for my grinders. Thank you for all the tips

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Awesome I really appreciate that!

As long as you put water in that catch bin, You can use it for both metal and handles. I made the stupid mistake of not adding a 1/2" of water, and got stuck with a smoldering ember that could've burned my house down.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Dang! Good to know!

[@forgeworks3176]

I always use a vacuum but it is not the greatest solution. Luckily i have a grinding room which i clean out once a month. But G10 Dust gets literally everywhere

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

G10 dust is the worst!

[@Wildgoatknives]

This is great! I know that when my workshop is dirty I don’t enjoy being in there. I’m going to pick up a shop vac soon

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

It’s definitely a good start! Thanks for watching!

[@richardpreisler3352]

You really dropped this video right when I want to upgrade my shop :D Thanks 😄✌

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

lol perfect timing!

[@JohnnyCreighton]

Mag numatic sells a spark arrester dust collector for metal. They run around 750$

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I’ll check that out!!!

[@ACutAboveKnifeandLeather]

This is the same setup I have been running. Cyclone and dust bag. Even run a hepa filter on the shop vac to further filter everything out. That would help you with the smell you talked about.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Oh good tip! I’m still running the factory filter on it

[@ed.sol.crafts]

Great video! Love the hose thingy.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you! 👊👊

[@mr_frost7730]

Hello, Matt! Can you make a video of how you shape and finish your handles especially for the Muk series. Respect!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I can do a new one sometime soon! I have one from a couple years back here on KZbin.

[@danielbottner7700]

Thanks for sharing health & safety tips. Here are a few of my insights. - I use large magnets on & around my grinders to collect metal dust. - Higher levels of air-speed at the inlet by using smooth tubing. - Use long sweep elbows can cut air-speed loss in half. - Keep flex hose to a minimum to maximize system air-speed. - A cheap air-speed meter takes much of the guess work out of system design.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Awesome tips thank you!

[@shae26919]

Nice shop

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you!!

[@Keith_the_knife_freak]

Great ideas . Great setup . Thanks for sharing..

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thanks buddy!!

[@Semerich_Knives]

Flexible hoses are great for collecting dust, I also bought similar ones for myself!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I love those things! I’m thinking about adding one for the band saw too

[@trainwon5699]

Mat I was waiting on you to mention that you want to use vacuum bags with the shop vac I also had this problem when I just used the dust separator that fine dust would clog up the filter.. thanks for tips

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

The bags definitely make a huge difference!

[@3434dustin]

Love the new shop man! This is the first ive seen of it!

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you! I put up a full tour video on it a couple months ago! 👊👊

[@buzzbladz7142]

Thanks for the video. Very timely as i am looking to set up for dust collection👍

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Well hopefully it helped out in some way! Thank you for watching!

[@justingoodman5600]

Great topic and very good suggestions. As for the metal grinding, I’ve seen people use galvanized ductwork to capture the dust. It seems if you have about 6 feet of metal duct, the sparks cool enough to transition to plastic. However most of them have a dedicated dust collector that goes into a steel barrel. I know about the smallest duct you’ll find is 3 inch so you’ll lose some suction with the 2-1/2 inch shop vac hose. Keep up the good work.

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Thank you for the tip I’ll look into that!!

[@richardbranton190]

Looking forward to the videos this year 👍 I really love your channel it's one of my favorites

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

I really appreciate that! Thank you for the support!

[@michaelnemeth689]

I just ordered the Loc line hose last week. It should be here on Monday!!! The dust separators are great. I thought a while back you had purchased a WEN air cleaner. Was it ineffective?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

Yes I have the smaller wen air cleaner but haven’t hung it in the shop yet, I need to find the remote for it so I don’t need a ladder to turn it off and on every day lol. It works OK but not a huge game changer

[@shae26919]

What is the size of your shop?

[@gentrycustomknives8008]

16x32 exterior dimension
