The key thing I learned in the video is that stacking magnets can increase the pull strength. Combine this with the overhead hose and you have a super brilliant idea. Keep these videos coming!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!!

[@dwayneford1990]

I watch a ton of woodworking videos because I can't afford to go to woodworking school. I have found you to be one of the most innovative woodworkers out there. I learn something very cool and useful every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am always trying to think of unique things to build or if it is a normal project, how can I make it my own or put a different spin on it. I will have quite a few more videos coming out over the next few months that are more of that and I hope you enjoy them!

[@JaredMize9]

I've watched thousands of woodworking videos and this is seriously the first one I've shared. Genius. And the drill press dust collection, please. Haven't seen anyone really pull that off very well yet.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much. Appreciate the share. I’m personally pretty excited about the drill press dust collection because it took a lot of trial and error to get it to work, but I think it’s a really good solution and could be scaled larger easily for full sized drill presses.

[@millmoo]

This is awesome, I like how in the beginning the magnets got you. They're tricky things, their like, "Oh I'm just gonna lay here" then, BAM it finds a partner and snaps together. We want all videos at once like netflix does, otherwise the doggy ramp.

[@ryanhirschey]

This is one of those ideas that people smack their heads for not thinking of it. Simply genius. I bought some magnets recently bc I plan to build a removable dust collection enclosure for my Delta 36-725T2, but I will now build this first. I’ve been thinking of suspending hoses in my garage so they’re out of the way and my wife can still pull her car in when I’m done working, but hadn’t thought of magnets there. You should consider productizing and selling these. You’d have a market.

[@skigglystars9525]

After learning what was done here, has me looking at my current dust collection set up in a whole new light. There just had to be a better way and here it is. Drill press collection next please.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Appreciate the kind words as always Skiggly.

[@meeutoube]

As a beginner in woodworking I must say I have been watching lots of woodworking videos online especially on KZbin - You my friend is the real deal! Keep it up please, I love the way you go about finding solutions to your woodworking projects which in essence help beginners like me. Thank you so much! Maximus

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you, I really appreciate that!

[@MadMonk67]

That's a great temporary hanging solution. I'm already planning things for my shop. Having worked with magnets a lot in my metal building/workshop, I got some good chuckles out of this video. I've had my share of pinches from strong magnets.

[@PhilMethot]

You have just saved me from a difficult vacuum setup in my shop. With this idea, instead of having 40’ of PCCC around the room, I can do it with 10’. Brilliant!

[@StilManHelps]

Dude, I have been watching a lot of people over the last year as a beginner woodworker who has inherited a shop in disrepair. You are now my absolute favorite. Planning the wood shop using your plans and dust collection tips... Keep it going and yes, I would buy a kit from you that does this!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

[@markb4919]

This is one of the freshest ideas for a DIY shop that is a real solution for the person that makes a lot of dust but isnt necessarily running production constantly or doesnt want to invest in running permanent pipes. I have been doing woodworking my whole life and have been looking for just such a solution. You have a new subscriber.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@kurtkyre]

First time viewer here. I really appreciate your approach talking about potential failures, and while being unintentionally hilarious, really drives the point home that not every project goes perfectly, and you can always learn something from each build. Great job! (edit)

[@RingsWorkshop]

Haha thank you so much!

[@olachus]

That is a awesome idea. I use my garage as my wood shop so this will improve my work a lot. I don't know why haven't I thought that before... Thanks for sharing it.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you, look forward to hearing how it works out for you!

[@EngineerMikeF]

I bought magnets via your links, picked one side & marked all of them 'N' on one side for arbitrary North, now I know which side faces out for tool vs hose ends (sort of like Line & Load in electrical work). Since I can see this is something I'll do a LOT of over time, I ordered 2 more packs of the magnets & will check poles & mark them as soon as they arrive so I don't forget. Thanks again

[@RingsWorkshop]

That’s awesome! Let me know how they work for you!

[@Peter-House-Jr]

Have you thought about putting North on two opposite corners and South on the other two corners? This would allow for any adapter to connect to any other adapter with, at most, a 90 degree rotation. I am curious how Rings did his?

[@EngineerMikeF]

@@Peter-House-Jr I put all north on the hose adapter, and all south on the machines, like Line & Load in any electrical system

[@neilphillips3193]

@@Peter-House-Jr that’s a clever solution to the polarity issue. This way, you are making them all the same, instead of keeping track of machine vs hose

[@richardcurtis3956]

I have never understood why tool makers can't make dust port adapters for their own tools that fit. This solves everything. Thank you.

[@RingsWorkshop]

It’s really such a simple, small thing that they should be able to fix very easily in theory, but causes us a big headache.

[@robertjonsson5518]

This is freaking brilliant!

[@jimrandolph1330]

Great video, but where is the link to buy the magnets & what size did you use

[@rossmarshall8151]

I know I am agreeing with a lot of others, but this idea is sheer brilliance!! I have an English single-car sized workshop and this is the answer to my problems. This is my next project 😉 Love the vids, keep ‘em coming 👍

[@Masterproll]

Great idea 👍, one main problem I see with your design is that the magnets are mounted directly to the hose clamp. If you accidentally vacuum a metal object, it will get stuck in your hose due to magnetic force and cannot come out without removing the hose clamp. The solution: Test how strong your magnets are and how far their pulling force extends on a very light metal object. Then measure this distance of pulling force and place a spacer between the hose clamp and the magnet on the hose clamp itself. Second thougth: if you buy barrel chaped magnets and let, one side of the adapter, the magnets stick out of the wood and on the other side you sink them in, you will have a better connetion, by eliminating the sheeringforce, and you get a physical connetion. this is extreamly usefull if you mount a CNC dustshoe with your solution, because magnetic force is only strong in the direktion of the other magnet itself and week against sheeringforce. greetings from Ruhrpott-Germany 🙂

[@RingsWorkshop]

I typically don’t use it when cutting metal, but I could see it being an issue if you did.

[@Peter-House-Jr]

@EngineerMike F I have now made several 4" and 2.5" magnetic adapters and adapted a couple of hoses and a couple of toolsand 3D printed them for less labor. I used a hex pattern for more coupling strength and alternated the poles north and south around the ring. This has 2 benefits: 1. No endedness (word?) and 2. A simple twist disconnects and pushes the connector apart.

[@bee-u-tifuladventures4771]

What a great idea on an already really cool concept that I hadn't seen before this video! I thank both you and "Rings Workshop" for my next project ideas as far as hose connections are concerned. I don't have a 3D printer, but given the idea and concept, I'll figure something out. :-)

[@markkoons7488]

Jeez, guy, you're really consistent at coming up with great ideas and executing them in a first rate manner. This is the third of your videos I've watched in two days, two of them for the second time without realizing they are all one "body of work". Well done!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

[@RON8O]

The simplicity and functionality are equally brilliant. Placing my order for your dust port adapters, magnets, etc now. I'm a beginner woodworker and my space is limited to a tiny 1 car garage. These ideas will definitely help in laying out my shop. You may just be my new favorite KZbinr. Seriously, thanks!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that!

[@maxtee2573]

I love this! I'm going to set up a small shop with ~14m². I don't want to spare the place for several decentralised dust collectors but don't want to lay rigid pipes as this would be too inflexible. Having the hose come down from the ceiling with the quick snap-on connectors is just what I need :)

Excellent videos. No BS, no annoying background music, just pure information without any extra "entertainment" or "funny" things. You present everything clearly and you don't sound or behave like squirrel on drugs. Subscribed immediately after first video I watched.

[@999erh]

I've seen some ridiculously expensive ones of these for sale. Good to know that 4 magnets is enough to prevent leaks. Off to make some of these now!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

An incredibly simple solution for a problem we all have to deal with. The whole hose setup is something I never would have thought of. Its genius and I will be copying it if you don't mind. My dust collector is in a 4x6 shed I built onto the back of my shop and it connects through the upper wall to pipes I have running on 3 walls with dropdowns to each tool. I've bee struggling with a way to have an overhead hose to use at my assembly table and this idea of yours may just do the trick!! Rockler has ceiling tracks with hooks for the hose, but it is too expensive for me. I have to pick and choose what I buy carefully as well. Well done, thanks for sharing your ideas with us!!!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you! Of course duplicate it and make it your own, I look forward to hearing/seeing what you coming up with and how it works out for you!

[@TheBillPayingHobbyists]

GENIUS!!! Thank you for this. Combining this with your flip top design is really going to make my new workbench super functional. Now I just need to figure out if the lathe is too heavy for the flip top design.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Ya that would be a tough one to tackle for sure.

[@nickkropat8857]

The best ideas are always the most obviously simple ones. This is no exception. Genius!!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@jackkister5979]

Way cool solution. I have seen this approach in Apple power cables and used a number of magnets myself and yet I didn't think of it. Surprised Rockler or someone has not copied it.

[@RingsWorkshop]

There is a company that makes some but they are pricey to do an entire shop on, most are for larger piping and won’t solve the problem of having odd sized ports on the tools themselves. But I agree, surprised someone hasn’t had a better solve yet at a reasonable price.

You could increase efficiency by magneting (new word there) the 120v cord to the overhead vacuum line to an extension at that overhead hose end. GREAT IDEA, thanks for solving an age old bit of brain damage, wish I could give you a hundred thumbs up. Yes please on drill press dust

[@RingsWorkshop]

Love it, I'm going to use that word in a video at some point (more magnets are in the future for sure). I am actually going to move the reel on the ceiling directly above the bench at some point, I wanted to use the ceiling mounts for a bit first to see where all they swing around to so the electric doesn't get in the way.

[@danmays1935]

After viewing your video, I was impressed with your solution to a needless, asinine problem foisted upon us by machinery companies. You even make a point of noting that most of your machines are sold under the same label. However, they don’t bother to standardize the vacuum connections. The problem is maddening! My shop conditions and equipment are much different than yours. However, by utilizing your magnetic coupling idea, I can improve my situation immensely. I have a large workshop (30’ X 65’) and have a 3 hp. Oneida dust collector with 10-inch ductwork eventually necked down to either 6-inch or 4-inch ductwork. I try to utilize 6-inch connections whenever possible. For example: I have a 10-inch Grizzly table saw that came with a 4-inch dust port. I removed that and cut-in a 6-inch hole and affixed it with a wooden, magnetic connector of your design. I then ran a short piece of 6-inch flex hose to connect the table saw to the main ductwork. The setup works great . . . with one exception. I deviated from using the magnets you did and went with a stronger magnet. I did this because I did not want to use 16 magnets just to make a connection. I suspect that you ran into the same issue that I have over the years - over estimating the holding power of your chosen magnet. It seems that over the years, the magnets I have ordered for various projects just did not have the holding power I expected. The load rating is figured by a vertical pull. My problem always involved the holding power to keep it from sliding down a vertical surface - not a vertical pull situation like in your overhead sections of pipe. I am betting that this is probably why you had to use multiple magnets on your duct connectors. The magnets I chose have a rating of 6o-pounds and are 1-inch in diameter. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07R8C4N43/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I use one magnet in each corner - four magnets per side. These are magnets incased in a steel cup which I simply epoxied into a 1-inch hole, just deep enough to keep the magnet below the wood surface. When I would put the two connectors together, they would hold well, but the magnetic forces would shift the assembly slightly off-center. It worked well, but the sight of a 3/8-inch offset really bugged me. With the magnets being encased in a steel cup, there is no way to play with the polarity. As an experiment, I made a couple of wooden connectors with a four slices of 1-inch steel rod in place of the four magnets. The connectors now aligned perfectly and the four, 60-pound-rated magnets had plenty of holding power. You have to slide - not pull - the connections apart. I am very pleased with result. It both works and looks great. If I were to make any changes, I think I would swap the sides of the magnets versus the 1-inch steel rod slices. I currently have the magnets located on the machine and ductwork sides of the connection with the non-magnetic metal located on both ends of the 6-inch flex hose. I can potentially see where I would want to hang-up unused sections of flex hose of various lengths. It would be ideal if I could simply stick them up on the steel walls of my shop. To do this, I would need to put the magnets on the hoses. Thanks for the initial idea. It is elegantly simple.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much. You are right, I assumed they would be stronger to begin with, but once I threw a few in there it wasn’t a big deal since it was a one time inconvenience for hopefully years of saving frustrations. Really glad the concept worked out so well for you as well. Thanks for stopping back and letting me know how it worked for you as well!

@@RingsWorkshop I have shared this already with a few friends. Currently, I am using a Built-in NUTONE whole house vacuum I purchased from a guy who took it out of his him. Came with two lengths of 30-foot hose. Not the strongest or most powerful but it's doing the job. Mounted outside the shop so virtually no noise. I will try and use a larger hose that will go into a cyclone collector and then only the suction side will have the smaller hose leading into the vacuum itself. This magnet system is genius

[@RingsWorkshop]

@@KNARF1 I appreciate you sharing it as well. Dust collection has always been fascinating to me because it seems like a lot of guess and check to see what works. Obviously professional systems there are set ways and things to use in a system, but for home systems there seems to be a ton of room to improve functionality and how things work, especially like you mentioned, when your tools have to be mobile. So I was excited how well this worked and the reaction I’ve gotten so far. Let me know how it work for you!

I had hoped to do that, but because my tools are on a fiptop and a couple ports are at an angle, I was limited to how big the wood piece could be. 3.5" was my limit to fit. If you have more room you could use larger magnets at the corners. I thought about putting some on the sides too but after using this, there is no need for it, the four corners are plenty.

[@jasonray3937]

This is a brilliant idea, and solves two problems I was struggling with in my small workshop. I have fixed collector and am just installing a new configuration which has four machines that will drop off a single duct. I was working through various multi-way blast gate ideas, which were either large and complicated or used up way too much wall space. Your magnetic connection solution is perfect; I can mount two thin metal sheets on the wall on either side of the duct, magnetically attach the four flexible ducts to the wall, and then attach whichever one I need. That’s effectively the same speed as a multi-way blast gate, AND it means all the tools can be easily moved around as needed wi5out having to disconnect them. Your flip top solution was also brilliant and unique. Keep them coming!

One tip for separating a magnet from a stack of magnets: Slide it to the side, don't pull it. I'm sure you know this, but just in case... 3. Polarity problems - been there, done that, cussed a lot. How did you keep track of polarity so you didn't screw this up? 4. Love the scoreboard! 5. 03:50 - LOL!!! 6. Pop rivets - great tip about having them bear the brunt of the impact. You might have mentioned that they were pop rivets when you used them, could have been confusing. 7. I assume you were using wooden dowels, but they could be confused with PVC (although they weren't hollow). Would have been nice to know for sure. All in all, great tips and video. These will actually solve some problems in my shop that I've been struggling to figure out.

Brilliant idea with the magnets. For rare earth magnets i recommend to put a plastic bottle cap on it to prevent shatter. I used 3mm (~1/10inch) rubber plate in one of my projects, between normal steel and one magnet pair, and it was still sufficient.

[@RingsWorkshop]

They come with nylon (I think) spacers in between each, I was half tempted to use them as well but didn’t. If I have any issues I may look into your recommendation. Thank you!

[@MHI.creations.workshop]

Hey Chris! I knew your project videos would take off well! 👍🏼 I was just checking my notifications and saw the one for the drill press sc but not for this one. (Thanks for mentioning it in the other video). I really like both of these ideas a lot! I can't stand the way everything gets thrown around from my drill press and my table saw is the worst for filling my shop with saw dust. It has a bag underneath and does next to nothing. A lot of dust gets thrown from the top, too. I think once I put it into the workbench and have vacuum suction pulling from underneath, that should help with the upper dust being thrown out. Finally got paid recently for a job I deemed as 'volunteer work' from a couple years ago so I jumped on the sale at PSI and bought the 12” lathe I've wanted forever, plus the PenPal so I can have a dedicated little one for knocking out pens and also to teach my daughter on. Now, I have to figure out how to fit them into my tiny shed, too! Yikes!!! 🤷‍♀️ Keep up the great work... My vote is for the sandpaper organizer station next. Gonna need the little 5-pak box of strips (look on PSI or amazon) for the pen sanding smoothness progression. (I'm interested in seeing the dog ramp but don't think I'd want mine cruising across the pillows. How big are the dogs you guys have? Ours are 85+ lbs, chocolate lab and golden retriever.) Again, it's great to see you truck'n along on the video editing and posting.😃👍🏼 You are a great encouragement for the many, many videos I've filmed of making miscellaneous projects but haven't edited yet. (My most recent was replacing a gasket in my washing machine that turned into a total rebuild, repair, repaint, etc of both the washer and dryer, lol! 😂🤦‍♀️ Gonna make my channel into an encouraging booster for women (and men) to realize that they can actually tackle the things that life throws at us instead of paying a small fortune for someone else to come out and do it.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Love it!!! All of our dogs are small, but they normally use it when getting in and out of bed, before I lay down or after I get up, so it’s not a huge issue.

Everyone hates the sound of their own voice, I talk too fast at times but if I slow down too much I become robotic and lose all personality. I’m sure I’ll look back a year from now and hate half the videos I put out, but that’s how we all get better. I was way over critical over the bench video and it’s why I delayed making one originally. Once I finally did and got such a positive response, it gave me the confidence to keep making others. It was outside my comfort zone (never talked into a camera before) and it took a lot of takes to get it right. But you’ll never know if you can do it or if their is an audience out there for you unless you try! Hope this helps and I can’t wait to see your first few attempts at it! We can all learn together.

Rings Workshop Advice taken, and right on point, too. Plus, when I see a video of myself, (probably the same as most people do), I see all the things I’m unaware of that I do. The stuff my college professor would keep a running tally of tick marks of during honors speech class like saying ‘uuumm’ ‘like’ and ‘ya know’ too much, repeatedly shifting weight from one hip to the other instead of standing equally on both feet, tapping a finger nervously against the side of my notes, biting my lip while pausing when I lost track of where I was, etc. 🤦‍♀️😊😆 All in all it was a great class but kind of ruined it for me when I watch speeches on TV. It actually does help to make me feel other people are human, tho. Nobody’s perfect, right? I think I might start off with the laundry room video, since it’s the most recent and has the most footage. Woodworking was my original purpose for it but, after looking up repairs for various household things and either not finding what I’m looking for or thinking it could’ve been explained a little clearer or even differently, I decided to start making it a full spectrum of the things I do. Maybe I’ll just make a separate channel for those. I still haven’t decided, obviously😄. I just thought of something. Gonna post a link for you…

[@MHI.creations.workshop]

Rings Workshop Here’s a link to a page I’ve had for years but didn’t really have it out there for any special reason other than to share my own footage and the videos I’ve taken of other people who were out with us that day. I’ve been cautioned about being sure that I am not seen as bragging since it is mostly a male-dominant sport. Although since back then, other guys have told Mark that they think I’m fearless and they’d like to climb the same obstacles here and there but didn’t feel they could or that their vehicle could do it, I don’t ever confirm or deny that any of it is actually true. 🤔 😊 I especially like this video because I used to feel that since Mark paid for all of the buggies, parts, expenses, etc., (even tho I did all the work on my own buggy), that I had to listen to him when spotting me. (All the guys at the bottom of the hill told me to ignore him before I started. They knew, lol.) This one shows him struggling to guide me, then I finally get tired of stalling/restarting (fixed later on) and of listening and end up tell him to get out of the way about 3:21ish (then he got bossy, lol.) I not only blasted up the rocks and got a little airborne, I kept on going to the top instead of waiting for more instructions. Mark had to jump out of the way to keep from getting ran over, 😂. Make sure to watch and listen till the end. 👍🏼 It’s quite entertaining during the last quarter! Sorry about all the dirt bikes behind the camera. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-bpH2HqM6GpcU

Teri - My Heart’s Inspirations that’s awesome!! Was suspenseful there for a few seconds haha.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Teri - My Heart’s Inspirations yup. I do a lot of the same things, sometimes talk too fast, mumble, umm, look at notes prior to finishing my words lol. Beauty of video editing is audience doesn’t know if it was your first take or 50th. You got this!

[@naughtypine]

I have the same miter saw and have been dealing with dust collection. Your idea seems to work great, I'm going to try it. Great idea about magnetic connectors on hoses. Great videos

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you, I appreciate that! Let me know how it turns out for you!

[@redslover5293]

Nicely done, young man! This is an answer to "how" I will be elevating my dust collection hose(s) to new hights. THX

[@RingsWorkshop]

I see what you did there! Hahaha. Thanks for the kind words!

[@paulsylvester1394]

Some great ideas here! The one thing that gets me about dust collection is why a simple coupler that costs $0.25 to make sells for $5+!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Yeah they get pricey for sure. They know it’s a problem for everyone, and sell the over priced bandaid vs coming up with a permanent solution. Wish they would just come up with universal sizes.

[@rahulmurthy1763]

That's a great idea - saves time & energy.

[@davidcochran934]

Exactly what I needed. Thanks for the video.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you! Great to hear!

[@MrBonsaIBen]

Brilliant! I will definitely be applying this to my garage shop! Thank you! I would be most interested in the sand paper storage.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@warrenthompson433]

using magnets is genius, great video thanks.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you! I appreciate that!

[@nickpotter5728]

Outstanding idea just what I need as I have loads of different sized dust extraction ports, I just know I’m going to get the parlartys mixed up on the magnets lol. Might have to get the plans.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much! Now that I have a 3D printer I plan on making a file to include with it incase anyone has one that they would prefer to 3D print instead.

[@nickpotter5728]

@@RingsWorkshop that’s great thanks

[@mitziseyfferdt3866]

Great job, perfect solution to my dustport problem, thanks a million 😀

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@mrechelon7051]

Yes! A brilliant solution to a big problem. Building my shop now and this will be a feature to be included. Thank you for testing and finding the pitfalls and best methods. Subscribed!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@gerriduzarski]

Genius! Thanks for sharing and a great video! I’m in the process now of setting up a dust collection system for the first time and I will be adding both ideas.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much! Let me know how it works out for you!

[@drodver]

Bicycle hooks work great for hanging 2 1/2 ish hose. Nice idea for connecting them to machines.

[@bluesman285a]

Dude this was huge I was in the same situation this is awesome solution!!!!!!!!!!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@douglee650]

Those magnets dominating the game 🤣

[@RingsWorkshop]

They’ve wrecked me many times since as well. Someday though...

[@ResinEssenceByCheri]

Brilliant set-up!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@marciaconnor8246]

Brilliant! I'm getting everything so I can do this in my shop.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Nice! Let me know how it works for you!

[@toddharshbarger8616]

This is a very good design! Presentation was amusing. Great job!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@824rmrock]

Sir thank you for your work I've made several of these magnetic connectors both 4" and 2 1/2" . Amazing convenience and ease

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you! Great to hear! I haven’t made any 4” one yet but i will once i redo my setup at some point. They hold up well? Did you need more magnets or same amount?

[@MattMadeIt123]

Very clever solution. I will have to incorporate this into my dust collection. Thanks for sharing.

[@Poor_Mans_DIY]

Absolutely brilliant. I have wanted desperately to find a more efficient way to utilize my dust collector and this is the one! (We love using earth magnets all over and have experienced the same issues you have. The magnets often win against us as well LOL) Thank you for the wonderful idea. If I am able to replicate this, I will definitely give you credit and link back to you!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much, I appreciate it!

[@drskvch5768]

Great project for sure! If you move it above the open garage door you should be able to keep out of the way with your car in. Whats cool is I can use this in my garage and when I get my shop built I can move into the shop.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you! I have two poles hanging, one where the door doesn’t reach which is a bit lower, and the other is a little bit higher just to clear the door. Both are easy enough to reach because of the magnets, I don’t have to worry about any kind of clip to hook on.

[@Mr_I_Eat_Your_Doritos]

This guy is so underrated

[@RingsWorkshop]

Ahahaha I appreciate it!

[@jamesjelley8159]

Amazing your presentation with the magnets is the best I've seen yet. I am just starting to set up my dust collector an your idea is just what I needed to see. Jake

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much!!

[@johnfrederickson3082]

Outstanding, ingenious, imaginative, phenomenal idea! Congratulations

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you so much!

[@larryd8069]

Clever idea, and it will deal,with some of my own major frustrations in my shop. Thanks.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@howler5000]

These are a great design! Thanks for the content.

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you!

[@usaf4dbt]

How come you are so smart and I'm so stupid when it comes to dust collection. I'm going to steal your idea for my tiny wood shop!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Haha thank you! I think it’s just more of a stubbornness on my part. I hate having to sweep every night before pulling the cars in, so I was determined to find a better solution,

[@jub62202]

Nice job Rings!!! Very polished editing and presentation. One smart fella!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Hahaha thank you sir!

[@markhamilton8765]

One word - GENIUS!!

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ronshipley3954]

Great and perfect for any size shop. Thank you for sharing and inventing

[@RingsWorkshop]

Thanks!

[@kimberlycarter4303]

Brilliant! Love this idea. Thanks for thinking outside of the port attachment :)
