Central Vac DIY Shop & House PLUS Homemade System Extras!

[@compactc9]

That is a beautiful plumbing job! Was nervous clicking a video that had central vac and DIY in the title, but this is how these should be installed!

[@henningbergmann5494]

Love this

[@rdy4trvl]

Nice Nova! Learned to drive in a 1970. Are you happy with the Beam? If it's lived up to your challenges (including a shop), it can survive anything (I'm considering something similar? Finally, have you seen any cyclone-type systems that might be even better?

[@CraigArndt]

Jeff, the central vac is really sweet. I like that you routed that to the house as well. Excellent video.

[@2jeffs1]

Hi Craig. That thing has been a real time saver here for sure! It even comes in handy when done with a drilling or grinding job for a quick clean up so the dog don't end up with things poking in her feet. She is hypnotized when items on the floor disappear - like where did that go, kinda neat to observe! ;>)

[@iisakkihillner4748]

@2jeffs1 what unit model do you have, I want to upgrade my 13 year old platinum sc 335.

[@MauroPereira1000]

Dream house and workshop... Best regards from Brazil!

[@craigmonteforte1478]

The vac is a nice set up i hope to do one in my next shop as well I do. Plan on utilizing a Cyclone style seperator like i use on my Dust collection system for my Woodworking shop that actually separates the majority of the dust in its own container. Instead. Of it going into the vacumn and its Collection container that usually keeps the system working better and prolongs the motors life a great deal plus they are relatively inexpensive to buy or build As well as lasting a long time

[@palmercustomgarage681]

Great shop set up. You're a thinker and a planner. Likely do excellent work. Thanks for sharing.

[@bradsmith1046]

[@not2fast4u2c]

Cool vac setup and thanks for the spark plug tips !!!

[@2jeffs1]

People that have service done here seem to keep their vehicles forever. Its nice when another 100K is logged the plugs can be changed without a hassle.

[@wyattoneable]

You make well organized easy to understand videos with great ideas. I enjoyed this one very much.

[@2jeffs1]

I try to cover the things in the grey areas that I encountered and wondered while doing these jobs. Thank you!

[@jjfore0921]

You sir, You are my tinkering hero.

[@rogeroconnor5182]

you never cease to amaze me with your shop tips,and auto tips. i worked at a mercedes dealer and the shop was not as clean as yours.

[@2jeffs1]

Ha ha! ;>) Thankx. I've been asked who cleans the shop in the past. At times I'll do a bit while waiting for a parts delivery.

[@57WillysCJ]

You have the cleanest and most orderly mechanic shop I have ever seen that wasn't owned by a professional racing team.

[@2jeffs1]

Thank you. It certainly make it much easier to find things when needed.

[@diyfferent]

This was really helpful. Thanks for sharing.

[@tiitsaul9036]

[@2jeffs1]

Your welcome! I try to be, ;>)

[@niklasakervall8280]

Nice vacuum system please make a video of all your gadgets can't wait

[@snowinokinawa]

Hi Jeff, having a bit of difficulty finding similar micro switches as I don’t know what specs I should be looking for? I have a Central Vac here in Australia (220-240v 50hz), however all the micro switches I see online have such varying specs: 30A 125v or near me a 5A @125VAC / 2.5A @250VAC. Any chance you could advise me on what I should be looking for please? Thanks

[@sparkfire1223]

Very nice setup, cool addons

[@williamzoom]

The chain bucket looks like a water separator housing.

[@2jeffs1]

Not a bad guess, actually I bet that could be used for one now that you mentioned it! But - I'll give everyone a hint. It is from a VW car.

[@williamzoom]

Washer bottle tank?

[@2jeffs1]

Yes it is! From a 73 Super Beetle. They were pressurized with compressed air and are thick walled.They were hooked to the spare tire and there was a regulator in the system to keep it from totally draining the air out of the spare tire.

[@williamzoom]

It took me awhile, a bit of thinking and then I started looking on ebay. That would be a good setup for a cheap water/methanol injection setup.

[@MrTheHillfolk]

+William Zoom Haha Vw guy here. I took a crappy video the other evening for a friend regarding my old setup on my 79 rabbit , using any mk1/2 Vw washer bottle and an old carb jet(I used an aircraft pitot tube). Engines can ingest a surprising amount of water !! now you are making me contemplate posting it.

[@craigmonteforte1478]

Another enjoyable video i also got a lot of information in the comments from your other veiwers i had Always wondered about the central vacumns it seems like the way to go

[@Centvac]

Absolutely ingenious!

[@codycheney3401]

Brilliant ! As always I learn soo much watching your mind in action ! You amaze me with the things you come up with !

[@ukieguy]

[@Fireship1]

More masterful engineering from Jeff. Always like when you explain your shop setups. Your air system is envied....believe me! ;-)

[@2jeffs1]

Always enjoy passing along some of those extras. Sometimes one wonders if the initial investment will be worth it. For the uses this has, real glad to have done this one!

[@davehogan4776]

AWESOME SHOP!! Thanks!!

[@2jeffs1]

[@JoshKilen]

2jeffs1 i live in Minnesota, in the twin ports area, thanks for the info

[@sarge152cliff4]

[@missingpunctuation]

How effective is the vacuum at chip removal? Do you ever have coolant or other liquids on your waste?

[@TheGuysFly]

love it

[@cokeman250]

Really cool thank you for sharing God bless buddy

[@2jeffs1]

[@2jeffs1]

Your welcome. Glad to help out!

[@3cl1]

Very nice install, the rolling hoist chain bucket looks like a vw type II wiper reservoir?

[@2jeffs1]

Great guess 3cl1, which you are correct!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Nice setup.

[@2jeffs1]

Thank you. Glad to have you stop by!

[@duramaxmak]

thanks for the tips I am building my shop and also putting central vac in also which size unit do you have?

[@2jeffs1]

Hi Milton. Mine is 30x82. It is a nice time saver. When the driveway here was gravel yet those small stones that get tracked in were quite the creeper stopper!

[@zombiewizowski1841]

That accent is priceless!

[@vacuumboy6.0]

He's Canadian 😎

[@TheWood199]

High power suction🌼 allabout.wiki/OVO Great product, only thing was there is no attachment to hook up a garage unit also, so we had to pipe the garage hook up into the pipe coming from the house. Highly recommend this unit.

[@spacemanrick2014]

Love it. Livin the life.

[@mikejbrown91]

heck are from minn by chance?

[@2jeffs1]

Close, Wisconsin.

[@mikejbrown91]

im canadian, its just the accent that i was wondering. awesome videos man keep it up

[@nealaltman5779]

I have heard issues of dust collection being flammable does it need to be separated

[@jason4547]

Ahhhh i see that you to suffer from an attention to detail (overthinking) curse as well...

[@yumpinyiminy963]

Another cheap system with a non-powered beater head.
