Dust Collection Blower Build

This months cross channel challenge was ''Mimic" so I thought I would use this as an opportunity to get some gear built for the shop that needed to be had. I had put together a dust collection system early on, but the blower that I had intended to utilize failed early on in testing. Sooooo lets build it bigger! :)

I trust this means you'll clean up that pile of shavings behind your lathe now? 🤣 😅 🤣 😅 🤣 #GoCleanYourRoom

[@dukaheritage9445]

I clean frequently, but I also make mess frequently what ya want from me 🤷‍♂️

[@HodgePodgeWoodWorks]

Great stuff! If there were a zombie apocalypse I'd hope to have you in my group!

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Yup, nothing greater than making something. Looks like you took some drafting in your time. Cheers, Lee

[@jackthompson8019]

Very impressive blower Todd.

[@margaretdavis5695]

I had no real understanding of what you were doing, but I sure enjoyed watching you do it! Loved the little personal touch with the snail! :)

[@chuckross3243]

Cool! Can't find what you want, just make it. Thinking about all veterans this Memorial Day weekend. Thanks to all of them!

[@robs.patrick9691]

I wish I'd of had a dad like you 73 years ago!....

[@claytonbink1647]

Great build, Todd! Quite impressed with the design.

[@bnaivar]

You've been an inspiration to me ever since I found your channel. BTW: It's not "Hoarding" if you might use it for ...something.......someday... ;) (Subliminal gluing?)

[@lakeshorewoodturner5136]

Nice. Great looking piece of kit. Great numbers.

[@johnconnor926]

Very nice project. I tried and failed 3 times to make one before I bought a Grizzly system. Love watching your videos.

[@DougMilleratWoodSpunRound]

Great job. I’d love to see it all hooked up and doing its job. Thanks for sharing.

[@JoleneDixon72]

Dude? I swear you have the ability to make ANYTHING out of wood! Wow! Great job!

[@carolsnyder9134]

Don’t ever apologize for using the gifts God gave for making something of much higher value than can be ordered online

[@tomteatom]

Very good. Well, I guess it's summer now (as much as it can be over here in the UK) so I suppose I had better put to use the "future planning" motors I have and build my own device. Thanks for the inspiration, as always, Todd.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Awesome my friend, let me know if you need a hand w the design stuff 👍

[@tomteatom]

@@dukaheritage9445 Oh, wow, what a kind offer, thank you, Todd. Actually that's one area I'm always set for (I've been a designer for 20+ years, now) so I generally have way, way more design ideas than I can ever make. But again, thank you, you're very kind.

[@sarahorphal4446]

Looks great. I'm really impressed. More people should be able to do for themselves. Gramma Kat

[@lesleyyoung5730]

Very interesting video, quite the skillset you have. Wise words Todd, wise words.

[@stevenoble2715]

Awesome job, I love the make it yourself attitude. Btw , nice layout skills.

[@heathermacmillan962]

Great piece...you did an amazing job! ...as always 😁 turned out great 😁👍

[@MrFixmeister]

Strangely satisfying video & very fun build. And the music... I Shazaam'd the music and added to my iTunes library. I'm inspired to get in my garage and make some sawdust.

[@raydriver7300]

I’ve mentioned it before: my tutor told me that, in order to be a good teacher you need a thorough knowledge of the subject and the ability to impart that knowledge. I’ve added: the willingness to impart that knowledge. You are such a talented young man and, as my French daughter in law taught me, I go to bed less stupid. Keep up the good work, Todd. 🌞

[@hdwoodshop]

I’m researching about how to build one too. Your video motivates me to do it. Wish you had shown us how you balance it. And the way you built your system.

[@dukaheritage9445]

So I balanced it by placing the turbine wheel on a cone through the center hole. I actually used 1/4x20 washers to distribute weight until it wanted to sit level on the cone. Hope this helps ✌️

[@hdwoodshop]

@@dukaheritage9445 those details make it or break it. lol

[@BAILEYWOODWORKS]

I bet you told her "good thing I saved this!" Great project! At the beginning I thought would try it. Now I am thinking twice, but still may make it. I do have a motor in my shed! Good on you!

[@staxonvehicletracking3468]

You go good young man. Most impressed

[@TournageDubois]

Awesome.piece, brother!!! You always inspire!!!

[@PotgieterWoodturning]

We have one thing in commen, our wives think we are hoarders 🤣. Great project 😁👍🏼👏

[@TRUCKTUBEGAME]

Smart American! With your head and the right hands! :)

[@kentsteele5256]

Awesome job love videos like this Shop improvement videos always inspire me To clean up my wood chips And improve my shop I

[@patrickdean9797]

way better than one that you could buy at least you know it will last longer than the warranty it is cool that you made it out of wood when you have it all plumbed in let us know if it works as good as we think it will .have a good day Todd thank you for the video

[@msudawgma]

I respect your opinion on the moral issues and I am with you 100%. You are a smart young man with a sense of humor to boot! I bet your Mother and Teachers had a hard time keeping you challenged. God Bless You and Yours!

[@mikemear7333]

You Are Impressive! I do build all my own Tools and Machines Keep up the great work Thanks

[@maurinec.4784]

Dang! I think we're related lol use what you have until you can't use it anymore, but save it for parts. This is how my dad taught me 👍 Great build!!!!! 😍

[@tomtackenburg4024]

Not only are you an artist, but an engineer as well. Truly enjoy your videos, keep up the great work !

[@markelonich1725]

Way to go, love it buddy, keep those vids coming

[@eddiegust501]

Very cool keep up the good work.

[@luizzahome]

nice video, congratulations, good luck🙋‍♂️

[@maswinwiwin4767]

A good idea

[@dukaheritage9445]

Glad you think so!

[@vernsteinbrecker3759]

Great job

[@gaowoodlab]

Great job,👍👍👍👍

[@richardbierton6062]

Hey Duke, Big up from the UK 🇬🇧 I have to say you are an inspiration and you give me the confidence to try more and more chalanging pieces on my lathe

[@leighw9684]

A great project as always. I appreciate your determination and willingness to give anything a try. You're right...that's how we grow!

[@davidhenry7585]

Fantastic job! Great challenge all the way around! You have earned the right to be proud of this accomplishment!

[@alfredlukasek8644]

Love these non-turner things you do. Do more. You got skills man.

[@terriefowler8196]

But it is literally spinning / turning wood!! Lol 😁

[@ThePapa1947]

Looks great Todd! Job well done. I also enjoy making anything I can. This reminds me so much of some of the patterns I made at work for castings. Most were for pumping water but the whole design is pretty much the same. We also made patterns for turbine engines. So I really loved watching this build. Great work! Gary

[@WoodWizardrybyColin]

really impressive bit of kit really well thought out and well presented and a bucket load of cash saved in the process

[@vickiejenkinson2468]

Great job Todd! You are very intelligent and are able to figure it out and then do it. There's nothing to hold you back. Thanks for sharing your creativity with me again. Stay safe, Vickie PS Hey Shannon!

[@tomzahlman1156]

Great video

[@dondeere]

very very impressive great job,,,, only one major thing you forgot

[@dukaheritage9445]

What’s that my friend?

[@dondeere]

you never made me one lol

[@Heymrk]

Norm Abram would be proud.

[@jackburton6085]

That’s freaking awesome man! Yeah, yours will outlast all the crap on Amazon. Agree so much with all... totally inspired man, thank you!!! ✌️❤️🍻🖖

[@twylaburns6554]

That is great.

[@Jimmysden]

Awesome mate. You are very encouraging for everyone to better themselves. Keep safe, keep making and creating. 👍👍

[@WintersMachining]

Been pumped for this after seeing all the sneak peaks on Patreon!!

[@jeffgoodsonwoodworking8627]

Todd as impressed of your skills this sir was amazing I make almost all my tools and gadgets so I know that even if you made it look easy the thought process was the job well done love these types of videos well done sir.

[@pastmasters9591]

So cool!

[@BradsWorkbench]

Do u hear that? The safety police are on their way 🤣 I guarantee it

[@thomasarth2458]

Go ahead. Get philosophical.

[@PoohBah]

You’re very talented craftsman’s . I’ve not seen anything from you wasn’t spot on… Can I ask a question, hope you said yes lol. I’m started to work with wood projects on a small scale . I’m having problems with wood glues binding . Which brand of glue you use the most and you find reaching for most ? Thank you, take care . Have a great weekend and Memorial Day. Stay safe :)

[@vacuumtests9225]

Amazing how people can build impeller from wood and working so well! Only real problem in this is that lower part of the impeller doesn't do much. It doesn't get air from anywhere or is there hole for its intake what I am missing out?

[@jacobcremins1676]

Another amazing project! Your engineering and ingenuity continue to amaze. Keep doing what you do brother! 👍

[@Billyray005]

Great build. I only have one question. You leave your chuck key in the lathe chuck when not in use? I have a magnet in the headstock. Keeps it safe and always handy.

[@JiggsysShed]

Awesome, that is great work Todd. Definitely a great way to save money. How noisy is that compared to a blower that you would purchase with that amount of air flow?

[@dukaheritage9445]

I just ran it this week installed into the whole of the collection system and I'm honestly quite surprised by how quiet it is. It still makes "air" noise but thats about it, I can stand and have a regular conversation without having to raise my voice! :)

[@JiggsysShed]

@@dukaheritage9445 that's awesome. Definitely a great thing to have and at a fraction of the price as well.

[@rickeyburke2596]

You did do good, tho

[@williamellis8993]

OK Todd, as a retired engineer I am thoroughly impressed with your design and build. Now we just have to see what kind of static pressure it generates. Was your meter in CFM or FPM? Take care. Bill

[@dukaheritage9445]

Thank you for the humbling commentary my friend. The meter was set to cfm, I had originally picked up the meter for a flow bench that I built to test cylinder head modifications. Once I get a stand made up I’ll certainly have to do some more testing to see how this really performs in a dynamic and static capacity 😊 I noticed also that the sound levels are dramatically lowered once there is a bit of load put on this piece, 🤞 hope I can run this while filming.

[@tkorkunckaya]

Hi, what happened to your dust collection project. I'd like to know what is the CFM rating after the restriction of air flow with the dust hose or enclosure. Also, I've seen you were doing some spring washers from regular washers. You cannot do that with regular washers until they are made from spring steel. They will not keep the tension and reduce vibration etc, they will become regular washers cut on one side. Thanks.

[@rickeyburke2596]

That's your first mistake is going to Lowes.

[@patkartes807]

See Matthias Wandel's KZbin channel and his machinery builds.

[@raymondhill3446]

Holy crap, am I first?

[@dukaheritage9445]

😊 looks that way lol

[@raymondhill3446]

Now that I'm done watching the video, cool project 😎 Love building my own stuff! I wonder if you would gain any CFM by using weather stripping between the body, bottom and lid? Great job!

[@dondeere]

would you know what happen to steven ogle

[@marcustait79]

Not seen the dual impeller approach before, be really interesting to experiment with other impeller types to see how much difference it makes.🤔 I saw another video which described how highest velocity airflow was (perhaps obviously idk) against the outer circumference of the blower housing. If you do make a MK2 it would be interesting to make the exit nozzle tangent to the outer circumference of the blower housing. Then again you’re already achieving pretty impressive airflow with virtually no iteration……🤔🤷‍♂️👍🤓 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oovCmqqhjNGAqtUsi=km6md_tL31jF3-x5

[@pseudaholic]

No way in hell this thing is 2500cfm.

[@dukaheritage9445]

Wanna come over and play with it 🤷‍♂️
