It must be summer! Annual haircut time 🙂

[@WorkLoops]

Brilliant! I have been wanting to do this with a larger camvac and 4" cyclone. Your hanger idea is the bit I needed. Thank you!!

[@WoodworkJourney]

Definitely worth putting a cheap Dust Commander valve on the the top of the barrel to stop any chances of it imploding if it gets blocked

[@joshuapooley8993]

I loved your use of "mean". I do not often hear that word used in the context of "being tight with your money".

[@sometimesiaskmyself]

Thanks

[@andyc972]

That should help Matt, agreed - everything on wheels ! I think I'd be inclined to put a bracket/shelf on the back panel to help support the weight of the barrel when full !

[@Badgerworkshop]

Wood chips don’t weigh much

[@Derwentmole]

Yeah I was thinking….‘he’s put that hose on the wrong port?’ 😮😂. I feel your pain of realisation!

[@Shaun30-3]

Nice and compact ! go any where dust extraction great video Matt

[@leesmall7693]

Cracking job Matt , great idea👍👍

[@tworiversworkshop6111]

Good video Matt, thank you. This is very interesting, as I had thought the extractor motor had to be above the cyclone and not below it, shows that you can learn something new every day!

[@stephenhall9592]

Love the work shop mods

[@jholmessiedle]

As you were cutting it, and saying - never cut your hoses, I was shouting at youtube - but knew you would spot it in the end :) Not that I have never been there - ever :)

[@torque9889]

Nice little project for the shop. 👍

[@Chaniel-D]

"Straight away I put the glue on the wrong bit" 😂 I know that feel

[@lesthiele4921]

Hi Matt, that was another excellent idea for your workshop, the shop is sslowly coming together, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍Thank you.

[@PJ1R]

nice vid Matt, I have a similar set up in my workshop but I vented the output hose through the wall so it vents to the outside world not the workshop

[@bobbabcock3847]

Excellent vid full of good ideas,

[@awantamta]

A great design and a great idea

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@mauriciomdea]

Hi Matt! Maybe you could use PVC piping to connect the cyclone to the dust extractor? Those hoses make a lot of air friction inside. Also, these angles are a bit too sharp. Cheers!

[@StuartGrimshaw]

I've got exactly the same set up I need to build a cart for.

[@David.M.]

Nice project Matt. I have thought about making a cart for my vac/cyclone, but currently they live under my rolling bench on a shelf and take u[ no floor space. I do need to look at something different because the five-gallon bucket that collects most of the sawdust is inconvenient to access. Thanks for the new idea.

[@dougsaunders8109]

Nice Matt 👍🏻

[@MCsCreations]

Excellent work, Matt! 😃 You know, I was going to build mine stationary and one on the side of the other... But I think you changed my mind! I'm going to make it this way as well! 😊 Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@Derwentmole]

Did you need to support the lid beneath the separator?

[@michaelplays2449]

Great video !!! thanks 😊😊😊😊😊😇😇😇😇😇

[@Badgerworkshop]

Thank you

[@darkosimic86]

Good work Matt! I really enjoy all your videos and projects! If I may, I would like to share some of my thoughts on this one; I found that using pvc pipe when connecting extractor with cyclone works and looks best and it is much cheaper than those ribbed hoses. Also if you have hanged the extractor and had collector on bottom the connection would be shorter=tiny amount more efficient and also emptying the collector would be probably easier?

[@Nathan-H]

Great video Love the leather strips idea for securing the hose. I have a port on the wall of my workshop that I attach my outfeed port to. I just means any fine dust particles that may be kicked out by my dusk collector goes outside rather than recirculating inside. I do have 1 question. Have you thought about the weight of the blue plastic barrel when it’s full. As currently the only thing holding it in place is 2 screws, would that not add a lot of stress to the plastic when it full and cause it to fail.

[@patriciamay638]

Nice

[@stuartmorgan9327]

Matt, any reason why you don’t do the Forstner bit holds first and then the smaller holes? That was you end up with the small hole being perfectly in the middle?

[@tedpuckett2779]

Another interesting vid. I’ve certainly been where you are with the mistakes but…it allowed you to get those other hose clamps and that certainly will be helpful in the future. I could not tell but wondering if your collection bucket has a “view” port where you can see how much dust is in it so you don’t fill it up without knowing? I have enjoyed the series and appreciate the time it must take to create these. 👍

[@tomaustin72]

hi where did you get the hoses for your camvac thanks and fab channel

[@Size15s]

I've not see the hook attachment method before - interesting. Did you factor in the weight of the barrel full in terms of risking damage to the plastic at those smallish washers? Also, did you consider waxing the hook to make it easier to lift out? Did you put the barrel on top for lower centre of gravity with the metal CamVac? It would be great for you to do a follow up video after a few months use please

[@Badgerworkshop]

Wood Chips don’t add much more weight. The barrel Is on top to make is easier to empty

[@Quest2chill]

I'm guessing that you are using 63mm hoses on your Camvac and Cyclone? Do these manage the chip collection from your planer thicknesser ok?

[@denisoriordan6739]

Hey Matt. If I had a hammer, I’d be Hooked on Wood. 😮 Did you consider trying to support the cyclone & the lid of the barrel independently of the container? Would make emptying lots easier.

[@shaunintheshed]

Matt where can we send a box of pencils too as that marking pencil is getting small

[@Badgerworkshop]

Only have another 50

[@Size15s]

Did you consider a solid pipe out and up the back with very short flexible hose couplers - perhaps the improvement in airflow isn't worth the parts cost and effort to make?

[@Badgerworkshop]

I did not.

[@DaveGDesigns]

Nice job Matt was hoping to see you at makers central last weekend have you ever been?

[@Badgerworkshop]

I did not go

[@DaveGDesigns]

@@Badgerworkshop have you ever been? It would be good to see you there

[@Badgerworkshop]

@@DaveGDesigns I have been twice

[@NottsKnots]

Hey Matt, nice build as always, quick question, I notice your extractor has 2 motors but you have only hooked up the noise-reducing hose to one of them. Do you just not need the 2nd motor with your current setup? The channel 'Hooked on Wood' did some videos about this extractor, they even made a 'wisper box' to connect to the noise reduction port and lined it with foam for a lot of noise reduction.

[@louissherwood5221]

Pimping your workshop with all those hose

[@Badgerworkshop]

That’s me

[@chewbacca8748]

Nice video Matt. Do you find any loss of suction by dropping from the 100mm down to 63mm? The CTS cyclone is very reasonably priced compared to the Axminster 100mm cyclone but I'd be concerned about a potential loss of performance - would be interested to hear your view.

[@Badgerworkshop]

I have not noticed a difference

[@chewbacca8748]

@@Badgerworkshop Good to know, thanks.

[@Size15s]

Are you using the CTS Cyclone's baffle? As I understand it, the baffle optimises it for mostly dust, whereas without it allows for woodchips and other debris

[@philipb867]

you really need the 4 inch cyclone with the 2 motor camvac otherwise you are not letting it perform at its best may as well just use one motor with it. Likewise your exhaust hose adapters you use are throttling the output also which will affect the overall performance so again no point in using motors its just wasting electric and putting stress on the motors.

[@AMG63]

You must be wondering why you didn't hold out and build the bigger workshop that you initially wanted ?
