A small Cyclone Dust Collector with a Cheap Vacuum

[@HaasGrotesk]

I've said it once and I'll say it again! This kid is a genius! The way he solves problems and finds ways to make things is just amazing! Definitely the best channel I'm subscribing to!

[@ilovewood79]

Measure once, cut twice, then force it to fit. Great job, Marius. You are amazing.

[@BrassLock]

I really enjoy hearing you talk about the build problems, whilst showing them on-camera, then take the viewer through the experiments to solve the problem - a great teaching technique that requires a lot of work on your part. Thanks for that.

[@GianlucaTurriniok]

3 awesome tips I like to remark: 1 berings and router table; 2 to cut an opening on a pipe with table saw safely; 3 the best trick ever with the led lamp to mark the curved hole. Very very good!

[@TR4zest]

Agreed, very resourceful and creative.

I was a court reporter for 22 years and reported depositions of highly-educated engineers (World Trade Center, NASA’s Space Shuttle, Medical, etc.) and I have to tell you that you, my friend, are an engineer of very high caliber on par with those engineers. Keep going. You do really good work!

[@matthiaswandel]

too late now, but what about moving he thien baffle part up by about 3 cm (eliminiating some of the extra space around the filter), but instead extending the bucket below. That way you can over fill it, and see as it gets full.

[@MariusHornberger]

Good idea. I wanted that space below the filter to avoid blocking the airstream too much, but during assembly, I saw that it could have been less.

[@MRrwmac]

Marius Hornberger I was going to mention the height of the inlet also but saw that Matthias pointed it out!

[@omarc_br]

the polycarbonate windows left by the original hose hole can always be used to check on the bucket filling level, right? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@MKRM27]

Matthias Wandel Amazing you could compose a message... Thought you'd be far too excited after seeing that silly router thing.

[@CarlosCastillo-zf5fb]

MKRM27 Dude. He made his own. Why would he be?

[@francoisfouche2568]

Nice!! The hole you blocked in the shopvac can now be used to see the level of the shavings ... easy to see when to empty your cyclone system!

[@StevenZhangMakes]

liked the trick with the router and two bearings. looking at your wish list I suddenly can appreciate the truth about woodworkers - they never do have enough clamps.

[@maximecombel4859]

The quality of your builds is just insane! Well done Marius!

[@charlysstore]

denke es gibt keinen besseren weg englisch zu lernen als Ihnen zuzuhören. chapeau!

[@elton42k]

Hi Marius, actually after watching this video for at least 5 times, I'm also building this cyclone dust collector. Now, as I'm half way through the build, I saw that the ash vacuum cleaner is now 10 euros cheaper (and this forever), so anybody else who wants to build this thing, now is the time to start. Keep going, your videos are inspiring.

[@DIYBuilds]

Great project and very clean looking.

[@markfrant]

Парень! Ты просто настоящий мастер высшего уровня. Уважаю людей, которые реально делают своими руками .

[@kenhendricks1135]

GOD BLESS YOU I AM GERMAN DECENT AND I AM A TOOL AND DIE MAKER AND CNC PROGRAMMER. YOU ARE VERY SMART

[@mrskwrl]

one of the best looking diy cyclone vacs. nice nice

[@buttenutz]

I'm 38 and just recently got into woodworking. Seeing a younger dude like you with such knowledge is both inspiring and intimidating lol. Awesome build, dude.

[@francesluck6597]

Absolutely superb piece of design and construction. Well done! Great to watch you solve the problems. Thank you.

[@WoodWorkLIFE]

That pantarouter is a thing of beauty.

[@igorbaldo]

Hi, Marius. I've made my own version of this dust collector, and it worked just fine! Danke sehr!!!

[@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549]

Very clever upgrades. I just did something similar today due to not doing regular maintenance on my duct Collector.

[@pete1959M]

I've watched a couple of you videos, Marius, they are very informative, easy to follow. Well done, keep up the good work.

[@ultimateimpressionsautodet3065]

By far the nicest DIY dust collector I've seen here on youtube. Nice job!!! I wish I had the skills and patience to build one like yours. Once again Nice job!!

[@camgreer]

If you look at Justin Depew's project, it is very similar to what you've done. He found that the silicone sealant wasn't sticking on the polycarbonate, so after he'd been using it for 2 years, he cut it all off and re-sealed it with Sikasil N Plus, and that stuck. It's worth looking at if you haven't already. You do some very nice work, great attention to detail.

[@billgilbride7972]

Coleman lanterns should have sponsored this one. The unit looks like a huge coleman lantern. Nicely done.

[@BlakeLambertwondersax]

Great work Marius! You've got a real leg up on all your engineering peers

[@CosmasBauer]

Looks like a gentleman from the 1850s :D Cool little dust collector!

[@draytec]

I thought same thing. Make moustache for it, and you can call it Chaplin :)

[@hendrikdeipenbrock7032]

Das gute auf diesem Kanal ist ja, dass Mann auch auf Deutsch schreiben kann

[@jondrew55]

Another cool version of a DIY cyclone dust collector. 2 things: In a similar build, the builder noted that silicone does not bind to polycarbonate. A couple of weeks after the build all the joints separated and he had to use some special adhesive for polycarbonate. Second thing, Home Depot now sells a $40 cyclone separator called the Duststoper. It just pops on top of a standard 5 gallon paint bucket (or Home Depot Homer Bucket). You plug one end into your shop vac, the other to your dust source. Works very well. Of course, I realize building a see thru version is a lot more fun.

[@gianlucatrozzi4252]

Very very big wonderful work !!! Many many congrats !!! Pleasure for eyes ... passion and precision ... Top !

[@theQuantumPenguin]

If you live in the norther hemisphere, I believe the most efficient set up for an up draft separator would be to implement an anti-cyclone system making the debris spin CCW. On this project that would mean just moving the intake pipe from the left side of the barrel to the right side. Great project and lots of wonderful construction techniques. I especially liked the bearing jig for the router table and the use of a flash light to transfer a pattern.

[@mewmew32]

what on earth are you talking about

[@CheeseToastOfDeath]

Thanks both to your video and Cosmas' video, I made something that's... well okay, it's not really that similar to this because it's a separate unit from the shop vac, but it uses the same baffle idea. And now I'm working like a madman trying to make adaptors for all the tools that I used to just duct tape to the shop vac. So, thanks for being awesome.

[@titus142]

I am legitimately impressed. Very well done. Looking forward to the next one!

[@vincebaker3384]

not only does it work great but it looks very very cool!!!

[@yummboy2]

Thanks for another outstanding video! I learn something new every time! The router table jig, using the bearings was a stroke of genius!

[@nathans.509]

Excellent work Marius! You are definitely an engineer at heart!

[@Frettedchaos]

The quality of your work is truly outstanding. I got some great ideas from this video.

[@hellbillyaustin6883]

Thats the neatest homemade cyclone ive seen yet, top quality work. All the best matey.

[@MKRM27]

Tip with the silicone. Lay down a nice chunky bead, spray all around it with a mist of washing-up liquid / dish detergent and water, then swipe the bead with your finger. The silicon will not spread out to the misted areas, and you'll get a super neat bead.

[@MariusHornberger]

I always did my finger in soapy water to spread it.

[@bricknick]

If you hold the silicone gun more steep, sopy fingers are not necessary. An angle of 80° - 85° and a bevel on the nozzle of 60° will produce a nice concave seam without wasting material

[@JesusUruchurtu1]

I wish Matthias Wandel watches this and realizes that it is actually perfectly okay for someone to use caulk or silicon to seal a gap! he would've made little wooden pieces to go around where the silicon was placed hahaha. Love the fact that you're using at least two of his designs. He's truly inspiring.

[@tonylawrence9157]

Marius, wherever you are, you are a nice bloke. Your work is, as is your sense of humor. I wish you would build boats, something worth doing, and your talent would be well employed. I make and build everything I need, well, most of it, but boats are best. New subscriber from Australia.

[@moth.monster]

Wiggling big flexible sheets of stuff is so fun. I do it every time I use big sheets of thick paper!

[@Sascha_LB]

Cool Project. I am impressed, that the 2 mm polycarbonate ist stable enough. Thanks for showing

[@brh4015]

12mm polycarbonate / lexan is already trouble for a handgun. This is not acrylate / pmma / perspex.

[@Alex_science]

Hi Marius. Congratulations! The most interestng, well done and well finished dyi dust colector I have already seen. Fantastic!

[@PhaedraDeepsky]

Great build. I love the idea of the bearings on the router table. I would be really tempted to put a ring of blue LED's inside the lid for no other reason than blue LEDs.

[@YouCanMakeThisToo]

Very nifty! A lot smaller than your last cyclone. -Caleb Harris

[@MarcinRamzes]

Great job! I like it. The one thing that I would suggest you is the color of silicon - you could use black one instead transparency.

[@MrWoody135]

Impressed yet again ! Very ingenious. Excellent work, keep it up.

[@Psychlist1972]

Very clever using the light!

[@intjonmiller]

What a cool vacuum! I've never seen one like that. Now I'll need to search for one, because I need a setup like this dedicated to my belt sander. Thanks!

[@toms.3977]

Pulling that plastic off the polycarbonate looks almost as satisfying as popping bubblewrap! :)

[@karaszeoke]

Great job Marius. Your project works very well and is beautifully finished. It was a pleasure watching your video.

[@BischBaschBosch]

Great video. Nicely done. Might just attempt something like this myself.

[@F1DesignUS]

I am totally stealing that bearing/router guide setup! Epic job!!!

[@pianoman78]

Wow, beautiful build!

[@FEINESausWUPPERTAL]

Clever und gut gelöst! LG Arnold

[@raimunderdwiens1502]

Super Teil! Den werde ich wohl nachbauen.

Hi Marius. Congratulations! The most interestng, well done and well finished dyi dust collector I have already seen. Fantastic!

[@brianweekley5700]

Beautiful job. Very nice work.

[@RobertHohan]

Great video :) I love the fact that, as most woodworkers, your main concern is to have as many clamps as possible.

[@MariusHornberger]

someday I want to have enough clamps...someday

[@stolarniakrzysztofszocinsk851]

nice finish view and good idea to do

[@AMC-eq3jr]

That's some serious work. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the USA.

well executed fella keep up the creativity.

[@GrlzRg00d2]

nice, just what I needed, something small and compact. Thanks

[@Jeppe.P.Bjerget]

Great job. Fun and interesting to follow. Look forward to new videos. Happy New Year. You always teach in a good way

[@mattmoreira210]

Very nice! Looks futuristic also.

[@paulbignell6977]

i enjoy your videos, simple and explanatory for me

[@spencerbrown2594]

That was an awesome build.

[@simonlunt353]

Very nice cyclone mr l made one my self but after seeing yours I think I will have a go at making one like your own as I to have ash vacuum too I like your videos and will keep watching you stay safe 👏👏👍

[@Modderman1985]

Great idea! Have been using these ash vacuum cleaners in my little shed, but the filters keep clogging up. You just inspired me for my next weekend project!

[@nickpepper4592]

another great build. awesome job.

[@MichaelDavidHiltner]

Something tells me you have the future career that of an Engineer! Well done and keep thinking out of the Box!

[@Painless61]

Wie immer eine super und grundsolide Konstruktion ... Klasse 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@stevenewbank]

It would look good pimped up as a a Dalek. Great build.

[@AndysWerkstatt]

great work, I love it.

[@TokyoCraftsman]

Great build, you certainly have an eye for details, the build quality is impressive. Cheers!

[@drapakdave]

Wow - this is a great build Marius! This is a great combination of materials and it looks dang great as well. Nicely designed.

[@lisag2771]

Beautiful work!

[@hasmukhvpatel4539]

this is the beautiful system you made with this vac. i love it.

[@mcorrade]

Brilliant as always. You make it look so easy when in reality, your a very talented young man!

[@mr.dahliaking.202]

I really like how Marius has a perfect mix of 50/50 British accent and eastern European accent at the same time, its really amazing how he can speak like that. I am from Lithuania and my accent is just rubbish and people don't understand me :D

[@robertsanchez5279]

that nice how you cut that circle and then reglue and will have a perfect circle very easy.

[@alexanderziegltrum3467]

geniales Projekt Marius. danke dafür. 👍

[@FranksDIY]

Great job and it looks amazing.

[@PleXXtoR]

Hi Marius, für meine Staubsauger habe ich, genau wie du, den gleichen Master Slave Adapter gekauft, wie in deiner Amazon Wishlist. Der funktioniert bei mir Super, egal ob Stich- oder Kreissäge, oder Oberfräse. Ich freue mich schon auf das neue Projekt! Gruß Dennis

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

This was an excellent video and the end product was brilliant. Great work Marius keep it up.

[@leksey7870]

Great dust collector!

[@jeffharmed1616]

Thanks for sharing. A brilliant idea. It looks very efficient.

[@mickwilton7750]

Very smart project well done

[@dkstepper]

Greating from denmark. This is one great projekt that i will copy for my home. Need something like this and my simple vag without a bag get so easy full

[@terry2346]

Very nice build! Thanks for sharing

[@ryanfwood]

First thing I thought when I saw it assembled was how much it looks like a propane lantern. Great build.

[@JiMBrnd]

Hi Marius, really enjoying your DIY spirit videos : your setup as well as your ideas within the making process show a huge sense of ingeniosity and tons of little tricks. That's really motivating to keep on our hobby. Thanks and all the best !

[@hayenon]

great job and nice hair cut. Love your videos

[@kaimachner9834]

Deine Videos sind Klasse 😁 Kann man sich reinziehen wie ne Serie auf Netflix.

[@fynbo1007]

Very impressive work, thank you for sharing your amazing video

[@g2macs]

Excellent build, your channel is coming along nicely.

[@dennisfahlstrom2515]

Marius, instead of paying to dispose of your wood dust and chips why not look into donating it to gardeners or friends who wish to use it as mulch. I have used mine as mulch for many years. It can also be used as fuel. I enjoy your videos and appreciate your humor and meticulous attention to detail. I’m somewhat surprised that Felder or some other tool maker hasn’t hired your as a consultant or QA manager.

[@emrekalkan9934]

hello, will this product work for removing wood chips? so does it remove too much dust to the main machine?

[@stephenborg8560]

Well ive been watching ur vids for quite a good time, im always looking foward to see them aspecially urs and matthias. Detailed and neat vids! keep it up!

[@jansmrcka]

Nice video, I like it. Preheating plexi before bending should make it much easier.

[@christschool]

Great job Marius!
