Install an Exhaust Fan in the Shop

[@michellely2006]

Very nice sir. I learned something. Thank you

[@rominhawk3949]

Excellent presentation. And I learned about Azek trimming material. Thank you for your sharing your knowledge.

This fan works very well. kzbin.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh I replaced my old fan as our radon levels began to spike. When I remove the old fan water poured out of the fan. Must have entered in through the out spout. Replaced with this unit and levels dropped a bit but still over 4.0.Did some more digging and found that we had a small hole under our waste pipe that was allowing some water and radon in.Patched the hole and the levels dropped almost overnight.I really would recommend the radon sensor. It gives real time readings. Without it we would have never known that we had this issue.

Thank you great video!! Where did you purchase the fan?

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks Paul, I think Granger.

Do the shutters prevent the cold air from coming in during the winter?

3:18 That Looks Like A Gable Fan

[@douglee2554]

Hi Chris do you want to install fan at church on Monday?

[@javymartin61]

What about the finish on the inside?

[@tammiespencer6730]

Hey John. I have an exhaust fan in my attached garage. Can I run it with the windows and doors closed to suck out the hot air? I have done this before for about 20 minutes and I can tell a difference but I don't want to burn the fan up. I have also done it with windows open directly across from the farm but it just makes it hotter inside.

[@2210tkm]

*Well-made, delivered quickly, and easy to install with **Fastly.Cool** . I may be imagining it, but it seems quieter than the 14 year-old unit that I pulled out. Of course it was noisy at the end due to failed bearings, so hard to compare. :)*

[@raycarl]

Good instructional vid Jon. A plus is the "tricks" of the trade that are shared by tradesmen, such as your drip edge and groove to have the water drip off the end of the drip edge.

[@garvielloken3929]

so neat & precise

[@azizbah555]

Thank you very much

[@Erilis000]

I know this is an old video so my question will likely go unanswered, but what about intake? Where is this exhaust fan drawing from? Does it not need intake vents somewhere else on the building? Thanks, beautiful work!

[@JonPetersArtHome]

Thanks, I just open a window

[@zackhansen7020]

why so low?

[@Shawn-rq4py]

I have 2 - 24” exhaust fans to install in my shop. My siding is metal and I don’t know how to finish it so it doesn’t leak. I’ve had the fans for years and desperately need them installed. Any tips for flashing on the metal siding?

[@EricJohnson-dc2ej]

Why not cut a square hole and put the louver through the hole from the inside of the shop?

[@xmode2]

Great job...what about the inside wall? Any ideas?

[@adisantoso398]

clever creation

[@anthonydtobias]

How did you wire this into your barn? And is that caulking inside the grooves above the trim?

[@bpowell68]

the hardware and installation is great; however, you would want to place this as close to the roof as possible, as heat rises. Otherwise, most of your heat will be trapped and will not be pulled out. Placement is huge in this example, especially if your purpose is to displace heat.

[@Emerald13]

Nice, I'm guessing also sealant between the metal and the shop and/or the trim and the shop?

[@albertTarry]

What putty did you use on azek? I had silicone kind of darken once in the past. And bad results with other fillers... under the paint. Was it Crack-shot? PS use light reflective paint only! as instructions state. I always like to put a slight angle on the top trim board also, Seen it done in both directions. Cheers !!! Been enjoying your videos for awhile now! Very diverse and well done!

[@Radtke_Makes]

Looks Great!

[@josephdolderer]

Hi Jon, could I ask if you notice that this makes a big difference when you're running when ac or heat is on? I would like to install something like this, but I'm worried that it'll be pumping the heat out in the winter time. Thanks!

[@benjaminrauschenbach6084]

Just wanted to drop you a note again. Love what you do. You simplify detailed work. Gives me more confidence with my projects. Details are the trademark of true craftsmanship. Your slightly modern edge to traditional work is timeless. Do you ever watch tv or sit on the couch? Gah.... you make the most of your time in life and it shows. How are the bees? Hard to imagine a hive abandoning your care. I'm sure they miss you. Forgive the rambling. Huge fan of everything you do.

[@scuzzbecuzz]

Good job....saving this one

[@fightingbear8537]

Great video 👍. Would you want it closer to the roof? Since heat rises.

[@stoneyj1a1]

Great idea, great work. What exactly is this guys' story? Is he just a youtube personality who does great carpentry/masonry? Does he have a TV show?

expertly done. are you going to be covering the area around the edge of fan inside of the shop?

[@dsl909]

Nice! Where did you find the louver on the outside?

[@patrickmurphy3]

Very nice. I have spec'd out and installed a number of vent fans for applications ranging from in-line vent fans for remote bathroom exhaust, exhaust for enclosed generators, heat dissipation fans, etc. If you are looking for some ideas regarding the electrical connections, please respond to this comment. It's going to take a good bit to describe, so I don't want to write it all out if you already have a solid strategy.

[@chrisnolan9906]

Hey john. Hey.

[@amasso2010]

I'm really happy that I found this channel ..

[@DerekCadmus]

Was this installed to exhaust sprayed finish fumes or to keep the shop cool in lieu of an a/c?

[@AprilWilkerson]

I'm curious on how much of a difference a fan like this makes. I have a window in my shop but I don't often run it because then I have to shut my door and window. So I'm interested in anybody's testimony on how this set up works.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

You have a window you don't run? A window fan can be very effective. It has to be strong enough to pull a good amount of air (exhaust it outside). Secondly, outside conditions need to be favorable. The cooler and dryer the better. A strong fan on a reasonably cool day works very well. You mentioned you keep your door and window shut. A window fan needs an intake. Something has to be open to draw air from.

[@AngelRosario]

I'd love to hear some testimonials. I merely keep my shop door (or garage door) open when working indoors. WoodyThings is a small shop lol 

[@AprilWilkerson]

Stanton Taylor Well when I run the unit I have to shut my door and window but I prefer for my shop to be open so I can see outside, and my dogs and come in and out. I do shut them when it gets too hot and I want to work in the A/C but I will be more willing to install an exhaust fan so I can leave everything open.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

I see. You were saying you have a *window AC unit*. I assume you're in Texas. If it's 85° outside, the best an exhaust fan will do is make inside 85°. At best an exhaust fan can only duplicate outdoor conditions. If your surrounding environment isn't conducive to cooling your space _during your working hours_, use the AC and get a dog door. Install a glass door of some kind and lift the window shade up for good visibility. Make sure your door and window don't receive sunlight; i.e. use awnings. Decisions decisions. I've been thinking about AC in my shop. Outside aesthetics is my top priority. I'm pondering a portable unit that exhausts out the window.

[@Ziflinz]

Stanton Taylor I've got about the largest portable AC unit available and while it's easy to setup, in a well insulated two car garage here in central NC it has trouble cooling past 80 when it's 90+ outside. A mini-split would have probably been a better option and most are very efficient. One day... Until then I might add a ceiling fan but you generally need to be pretty much under it, so a nice floor fan might help more.

[@SuperJaski]

Hello Jon, was this a Iliving Fan You Installed Here

[@renobtankit6019]

Nice install Jon, I have a few questions what are the specs on your fan and are you happy with how fast it can remove the air in the shop when its full of say fine sawdust?

[@nickjohnson8704]

Looks great, Jon! You always trim out projects well.

[@domr.204]

finally found a video were the fan is in the cut out itself. (in between the wall ) , thank you. looks good, i have a question i have to put a fan outside in .and it will be in between a cinder block wall. will it affect anything??? its actually for my cigarette smoke in the garage . im going to set a lil table with ashtray next to it ,so my wife could stop breaking my balls. thank you

I'm trying to learn how to make UTube videos Jon...any videos on that...or any advise please?

[@samphire]

Great job, nice and tidy. Would be nice to get some matching red spray for that alu finish :)

[@goose7574]

I hope you see this. I'm a single Mom looking for some help. I came across your video and it's by far the best one I've found. Would you say this is the best/easiest fan to add for a woodworking shop? It seems to be. Also, I've seen ones that just plug in, instead of being hardwired in, any suggestions about that? Next, I've seen ones that offer different modes (basically like a lot, med, high to of action). I refinish and build furniture and I've been wanting to add some kind of exhaust to my shop. Trying to add something in the ceiling is not an option at this time (possibly were I redo the lighting, which will happen during the road, I just like the idea of particles getting sucked out sideways, versus up). Also, if someone is sanding (A LOT), do you have any suggestions for making the area less dusty (ie- maybe installing an exhaust fan behind the area where my different saws are, and then one in the area of the room where I do more of my sanding?). I do have a shop vac that I use when sanding (hooking up to the different sanders, etc), but it still gets very dusty, since I don't have an exhaust fan. This makes things very tedious and _extremely_ annoying for when I go to stain, paint, etc. I basically have to vacuum and dust the entire room, before I do that. Any tips would be extremely helpful. Also, the shop that's attached to my garage is roughly 25x15 (in case you need that info). I know that to some, my questions will seem very elementary. I just started doing this about 3.5 years ago, so it's not something I was sure I was going to "really" get into. But... I _really_ enjoy refinishing furniture, building pieces and even making wood signs. I'm just done not having an exhaust fan. Haha! Thank you so much for your help!

[@СветланаПроберж]

Хороших идей и успехов в Вашей работе!

[@rodneyhowe4486]

Great video as always Jon.. Did you fit the fan to exhaust fine dust or spray fumes and if the latter does it need to be explosion proof?? Just curious as i really need to get a fan fitted in mine... all the best.. Rod

Jon, do you ever wonder why you put off simple jobs like this for so long? Great job. This evening I was talking to my son about adding a ventilation fan to our shop (my wife and his girlfriend mentioned how hot the shop was this evening).
