Assembly Table Accessories Part 3

[@DIYTyler]

That vacuum pod is so cool! GREAT idea for the pneumatic hose storage....might have to find a way to incorporate that in my shop.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Tyler G Vacuum is a great way to hold down stuff. Looking forward to see what you come up with

[@bwbark]

Wow that is a awesome set up. Nice job. I love the way you solved the air hose storage issue.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Bruce B Thanks a lot Bruce. It works great, and I like it better than stiff spiral hoses

[@Pyronics]

Vacuum table??? OMG this is sweet. Well done as usual!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Dan Robidoux Thanks Dan, yup, dupster diving has some diamond moments

[@johnfithian-franks8276]

Nice job, It still amazes me what people throw away without even trying to mend it or give it away to someone how would try and mend it. Keep up the good work Your channel is one of the best that I watch and I always enjoy watching you make things.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+John Fithian-Franks Thank you John for the kind feedback on the project and the channel. I cannot, as you, imagine how peolple throw away good useful stuff, without even askin if someone can use it.

[@GaryTruesdale]

very cool. I like that vacuum table on the silent compressor.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Gary Truesdale Thaks Gary, its very silent, and works great

[@petermenningen338]

Love the hose storage Great execution of the bench

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Peter Menningen Thanks Peter. I think a single hose work better than stiff spirals, that gets stuck on the edge of the project.

[@petermenningen338]

+Bellevue Woodshop I agree spirals work best on assembly stations where the air feed is from the top or for blow guns from the top. Your design takes the place of a hose reel at a way better price. and with less bulk..

[@Shopbuilt]

Man that pod was a sweet score! Great video as always.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Shop built It is great. Thank you Ryan

[@turb0b0ytim]

you sir, have great idea. I like the way you think! I love the nail gun compressor and hose 'reel'.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Tim Johnson Thanks Tim, i like it better than stiff spiraks getting caught on the edge of the bench or project

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Love the tools you have. I would love to have those in my shop to work with. I love the repurposing too.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Deep South Homestead Thank you very much for watching and commenting

[@artconnolly9519]

Man I really like the simplicity of the air hose retract setup. awesome thanks for sharing ! ;)

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Art Connolly Thanks Art. It does not get cought in the project as a coiled hose often does. And its just long enough. thanks for watching and commenting

[@artconnolly9519]

+Bellevue Woodshop honestly it's brilliant great job

[@caskwith]

This bench is so slick! I am very jealous.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+caskwith Thank you, glad you like it

[@hesperhurt]

Seriously loving this series... despite the fact that its feeding my shop mod fixation and thereby preventing me from actually making anythung with said shop. 😂 Honestly though... thanks for taking the efoort to share these ideas. My shop is geared up for green wood working and turning but you've given me some great ideas for some of my own needs. All the best from Wales 👍

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Robert Venus Thank you Robert. Glad you find it inspiring, and thank you for your interest in my stuff.

[@meanders9221]

Really good ideas and execution. I especially like that T-track clamping system on the end of your bench. And your refurbished vacuum pod trash find just saved you maybe $1000(?) for a similar system just released by Festool.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Michael Anderson Thanks for the kind feedback Michael. It works great for long pieces and also small pieces, too small for the pod. I was not aware of Festool launching this kind of thing. I have had this sitting around my shop collecting dust for at least 10 years i think. I am in the progress trying to make a DIY version with plans if everything works out. Thanks for watching

[@HeavyboxesDIYMaster]

I want a suction work surface! Good work!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Heavyboxes Its a great way to hold down a workpiece

[@Charlie-pk6lj]

love your table unlimited use's from the usa thank u

[@MikeKapotsy]

Awesome accessories Roy! Always learn something new or get great ideas when I watch your videos. The compressor idea is great, I'd love a vacuum pod and don't want to pay $1300 for a fancy new one! Love the rails for clamps also. Good stuff. Thanks!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Mike Kapotsy Thanks Mike. Glad you like it. I did start on designing a svivelpod that everyone can build, but still in the starting pit. Thanks for watching

[@MikeKapotsy]

Bellevue Woodshop that would be awesome Roy, I would buy the plans for sure!

[@scotthillegass2173]

This has got to be my new favorite channel. Your content is very inspiring.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

[@himonides]

so exciting to watch your videos sir! thank you.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Evangelos Himonides Thank you Evangelos, glad you like it

[@bocfus72]

awesome table and awesome series, you can tell you had a plan in mind and you executed it well, thanks for sharing and keep up the great work!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+dana smith Thank you for the kind feedback Dana. And thank you for taking the time to watch

[@stevecollins9450]

Thanks again for all of these great ideas!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Steve Collins Thank you Steve for the kind comment, and thanks for watching

[@charlietuna5962]

Uber lucky find, that vacuum pod! Great ideas, subscribed!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks for watching and subscribing

[@MRrwmac]

Amazing accessories! Your assembly table has got to be, no IT IS the best and most innovative I have ever seen! Question: I see you crimped off and soldered the coolant lines on the refrigerator compressor. But could you please show how you get a line for compressing air onto it? Thank you!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much for the generous feedback. The crimped pipe and the soldered one was like this. all the compressors I have has these, might be where they are filling the refrigerant when produced. I just cut the 2 pipes going to the fridge/freezer condenser plate. One side has pressure, the other one vacuum

[@TheRussianWoodworker]

I wish I could like this 1000 times!!! This is an awesome video and an awesome set up! That vacuum pump holder thing is awesome!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+The Russian Woodworker Thank you Sir for the kind feedback. Glad you like. It works great

[@rjjrrailsgscalesolenske5231]

Great video some real slick ideas job

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much

[@fredrik.larsen]

Awesome. Thanks again for sharing. I always look forward to watching your videos :)

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+soundiscomforting Thank you for the kind comment, and thanks for watching

Vilka grymma grejer du gör! Bra jobbat!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Magister Slöjd Takkar

[@hypnolobster]

Oh cool, I wonder where I can find aluminum t track heavy enough to do the same thing. I was planning on a really long pipe clamp vise on my assembly table for short-end work on panels, but this is way more elegant.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Kirby Weldon I am not familiar with how beefy t-tracks from kreg and rockler are, but this is an extruded aluminium profile 30mm x 30mm made for industrial application. it is produced by Bosch Rexroth. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

Can I hire you to come to my shop and do all of these great upgrades? You really are ingenious!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you very much for the generous feedback. The shop has evolved over some years, and I have to work around several obstacles, and therefor the might be a bright moment now and then:)

[@BDM_PT]

Hi there from Portugal, Nice Ideas :D Thanks

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Blog das Madeiras Thank you very much

[@jcmakes5977]

Great ideas!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+JcMakes Thank you

[@dustyhush]

awesome ideas man

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+pieter dautzenberg Thank you Pieter

[@joelvanstaden9083]

Excellent idee. I am going to do a similar idea with my 2 benches

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Joel Van Staden Thank you Joel

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Very very cool! clever solutions very well executed! I'm totally impressed :D

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Cactus! workshop Thank you very much for the kind compliment

[@ericdefratis7109]

Really want to watch your vid but I'm having problems viewing. Love this series.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Eric DeFratis Hmm. must be something wrong on your end. Its seems to work ok.Thanks for the kind feedback and for watching

[@allenholdway8683]

I have never seen that vacuum table, that is very cool. I also like the build in compressor for easy access for air guns, very nice. Was the vacuum table made for that kind of work? Great ideas.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Allen Holdway Thank you for the kind feedback Allen. The pod was used in of custom kitchen countertop production for treating the edges, and efgebanding. But that has to be 25-30 yrs ago. I actually did not plan to use this compressor, but needed a place to store it, and since my compressed air setup around the shop has some leaks, I have to wait for the whole system to pressurize. so this is compact and readily available.and always pressurized.

[@MattleyIt]

Greats idea!!! You are a genius! :-D

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Mattley Thank you for that very generous comment mattley, it is much appreciated. Thank you for watching and commenting

[@thelosttexan1717]

could you make a video on how you made your t track

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

It is just a square extruded aluminium profile cut in half, with a jigsaw, as you can see in the start of the video. thanks for watching and commenting:)

[@MrWoodfiddler]

Where can a vacuum pod be purchased? Thanks to Jay Bates for sending me your way! Nice video folks! :)

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+MrWoodfiddler Thanks for stopping by from Jays place. This is a 30 year old unit, but I read in the comments section that Festool just released something similar. And I am also working on a DIY version and if it succeeds, I will make a video on it along with some plans. I have to prototype one first. Thanks for watching

[@acerjuglans383]

What a great build! What brand is that old vacuum clamp?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks, Not sure, It was something I salvaged from my dayjob. I guess its from the early 80´s. Unfortunatelyu it has no label on it

[@hspringsteen]

Very nice

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Howard Springsteen Thank you Howard

[@beauxtx1959]

BRILLIANT!!

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks

[@T70781]

I've really enjoyed watching your innovative workbench development. The video quality and lengths are perfect too. Thanks for sharing! One question. .. doesn't the AC compressor require oil in the inlet air for lubrication? Do you think putting a couple drops of oil in the inlet before each use will make it last? I wonder if an inlet air filter might make it last longer also?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Tony Shulthise Thanks Tony. glad you like both the content and the videos. Its sometimes hard to cram everything interesting into a video, and not make it to long. but one does not want to make it to much fast paced either. Thanks for watching an commenting I have read online about othesr using this kind of compressor,and many recomend that you puta drop of oil or 2 into the inlet for lube, I have never done it, and have yet to have one fail on me. And getting a new one from an old fridge or similar is just around the corner.

[@petergdk]

Really cool ideas. I will definately use the air compressor hose storage sytem you've built. Where in the world do you find all that nice plywood in Sweden. All i can locate is nasty 18mm cdx construction grade for 500 kr in XLbygg.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Peter G Thanks Peter. I get all my baltic birch from work. They are cutoffs and cover sheets. So they are free. I live in Norway, but you should be able to get baltic birch plywood from most home centers

[@petergdk]

No - not in Sweden :). There is on webshop, but the charge 1200 kr for 1 sheet of 18mm birch ply. Thanks anyway

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Well. Thats about the same price as in Norway I think

[@mitrovdan]

I watched this vid with awe.

[@StamosTee]

Neat job !

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Stamatis T Thank you

[@tigxxl]

OMG!!!! INSANE USEFUL!!!! :D Nicli made!

[@datadev1]

The swiss army knife of work benches. Festool has nothing on you. I did not know you could use a refrigerator motor to pull a vacuum. I will need to research that further. What was the source for the valve you used. Thanks for sharing.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+WoodRodent Thanks for the kind comment, and for watching. It works great for vacuum hold downs, and even vacuum bagging. Its completely quiet, and I manage to get -0,80 bar, if my meter is correct. the valve was salvaged from work, but I guess any 3 port valve should work (or 5/2 might be the correct terminologi)

[@hesperhurt]

No joke... this might get rid of three seperate workbenches in my shop with the ideas it's given me! 👍 As for refrigerator compressors... they're bomb proof. Used them for all sorts including an emergency water pump (don't ask!!), pneumatic rockets with my students when I was a teacher and to power micro air tools. Great pieces of scrap 😉

[@teh40oz]

i love your work. is there any need to regulate the vacuum line? i want to use a fridge compressor as a vacuum press but i am unsure if i need to regulate the vacuum pull with some kind of brass fitting or special valve?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thank you. You only need the 3 way valve to "release" the vacuum. You want the maximum amount of vacuum available

[@cjh228]

What brand is that vacuum pod? That thing is awesome

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Craig Hejka I am not sure. Its an old thing from the 80´s i picked out of the trash at work years ago. But I just finished a prototype on a DIY version I will be making plans for along with a build video up the road. Hopefully it will happen soon

[@MenapiaCustomGuitars]

Amazing sir .

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Menapia Guitars Thank you very much

[@inkedscreened5465]

awesome work bench! what brand of countersinks do you use? those look amazing

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Thanks, I got them of ebay in a 4 pack. By far the best countersinks I have ever owned. They are similar to these: www.ebay.com/itm/Titanium-Coated-Countersink-Deburring-Bit-Tool-2-5mm-5-10mm-10-15mm-15-20mm-/231976494698?var=&hash=item3602e0666a:m:mzZ9FKcjpOKJrVlufZsGo6A

[@DaveVanWest]

A small reciprocating compressor produces enough vacuum? I was thinking I need to install a 3 phase scroll compressor on a VDF to control the compressor, but then I realized by the time I did that, I could by the Festool version.... probably just get a old fridge compressor, did you have to add a start capacitor or anything?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

Oh yeah. if properly sealed, it can easily pull -0,8bar. Just yanked the compressor out of the fridge and cut the coolant tubes

[@innesspirrie7489]

Wow a festool one is about £1000 very nice

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Inness Pirrie Thank you Inness

[@you-tubejunkie2926]

No dust mask ?

[@MaDeuce80]

Who makes that vacuum pod? I need one now.

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+LXGIK 80 I really dont know if anyone makes these anymore. The label says FEZER. But I bet this thing is at least 30yrs old, My guess is that its going to be hard to find a similar. BUT I am in the starting pit of working on a wooden version, . And if it works out, I will make plans for it, but no promises:)

[@egonheldt]

Hi, great video. One question : what countersink bit are you using ?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Egon Heldt Its by far the best countersink I have had. I bought a set of 4 off ebay. they are similar to these: www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-Chamfer-Countersink-Deburring-Drill-Bit-Set-Crosshole-Cutting-Metal-Tool-LO/161906451720?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33877%26meid%3Dc2bd5a31967346d4aefe206d1f6c3213%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D252215143067

[@egonheldt]

Thanks :-)

[@CameronLienhart]

What kind of countersink bit was that?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Cameron Lienhart Its by far the best countersink I have had.

[@Handleyman]

Amazing. So it's a "compressor" from a fridge? But don't you need a vacuum pump, or did I miss something?

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+David Handley Thanks David The inlet tube thats normally for the refrigant, has suction. Its actually possible to create a fair amount of vacuum. I does not move huhe amounts of air, but if my vacuum meter is correct, it has no problem pulling -0,80bar

[@DerikGeddings]

Can I ask what counter sink bit that is? I need something like that

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Derik Geddings Its by far the best countersink I have had. I bought a set of 4 off ebay. they are similar to these: www.ebay.com/itm/4pcs-Chamfer-Countersink-Deburring-Drill-Bit-Set-Crosshole-Cutting-Metal-Tool-LO/161906451720?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D33877%26meid%3Dc2bd5a31967346d4aefe206d1f6c3213%26pid%3D100005%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D252215143067 Thank you for watching Svar ·

[@glenturner4985]

I have a question, the plywood you use have numbers on them, what does that mean, just wondering ? I enjoy your videos

[@bellevuesnekkeri]

+Glen Turner Thank you Glen. The numbers on the sheets are because they are some test sheets that we use in the production at my dayjob. The operators mesure the panel before it is run through the aplication machine for the hardener. They just write it on to remember. There are also 2 lettesr on, to tell the operator if the test panel was run on top or bottom, left or right of machine. Thanks for watching and commenting
