Building a Thien-baffle Separator (Small Dust Collector #3)

[@connorddenniss]

Those outtakes are hilarious! Refreshing my memory on your design so I can mimic it as much as possible

[@watercushion]

I appreciate the amount of effort you put into making videos, they have got just the right amount of required details and explanation. Thanks for another great video!

[@royr327]

Hi, Just wanted to say how much I enjoy your video's. Your attention to detail is greatly appreciated.

[@tonythomas951]

You are awesome. Its nice to see you are not always composed but all in all you are one talented man.

[@jeffroberts930]

Excellent video. And you speak English better than most native speakers. Keep up the good work!

[@rla1000]

Great video, you have a great delivery and explain things very well.

[@archangel6415]

Brilliant idea and excellent build quality. I am very impressed by this young man.

[@diverrite]

Great job, nice to see a young person who is very skilled.

[@andrewwatkinson1548]

‘This one time, at bandclamp’ 🤣 Good build mate.

[@reggiebraud5483]

Marius, I really enjoy your videos. Your attention to detail in your explanations is great. I particularly enjoy your theoretical approach to the physics involved in your projects. The outtakes are cool too!

[@MRrwmac]

Excellent engineering, innovation and results! I appreciate the way you worked the ability to see the circulation and the barrel level into this project!

[@greatitbroke]

Thar is awesome Marius. When I get done renovating my shop I will see about making my own dust collector. Thanks for the inspiration. Greetings from Canada.

[@mgrantom]

Wow, very nice separator. You have given me some great ideas for building mine.

[@KSFWG]

Great part 3 and just as entertaining as always. Theory, planning, technique, and skill shine bright once again in your videos. Thanks!

[@hallays]

That is one of the nicest dustcolectors i have ever seen. You do a wery good jobb

[@michaelsmith-obrien3850]

Good detail and theory explanation; ending with humor is appreciated; minimal (very understandable) accent and very good command of English vocabulary as a non-native language. Superb repertoire of power woodworking tools and skills to use them. Keep it up.

[@Psychlist1972]

Your videos are great, and show a lot of thought not just in the work, but in the video production. Enjoyed.

[@Gramarrowsmith]

Brilliant!! This is all the confidence I needed to tell me that my attempt at making my separator is at least on the right track! Thanks again Marius!

[@ossianhaufe4671]

Really nice, it looks professional, it works well and you were always sympathetic 👍

[@thumperman8490]

You should be on TV doing this stuff ..love it. Forsprung durch Techik.

[@pierreggm1692]

Hi. I'm watching Mathias Wandel since a year and I just discovered you today. "Man na"s comment is right !!! Realy nice to follow your projects and videos. Keep untertain us. Regards from Frence !

[@spoon761]

Quality and precision from beginning to end. You make it look simple. Great work!!

[@MariusHornberger]

+Hans Johnny Dahl Hansen Thanks

[@scotty2307]

Looks really good Marius. You can be proud to use it.

[@roncooper6302]

Always a joy to watch and thoroughly entertaining. Regards.

[@veronica5896]

The woodworking is always spot on, and the videos keeps getting better =) Which is pretty amazing, considering they were perfect to begin with =) Thanks for sharing, I really love your sence of humor =)

[@MariusHornberger]

+Veronica Thank you Veronica!

[@TheShavingWoodWorkshop]

I wonder what makes me laugh at the outtakes more, the seeing someone else stumble or the reflection of that really is how it goes for us some days :-)

[@simonaldridge82]

well done again! you make great factual and entertaining videos, I have watched you for sometime and you are becoming a very knowledgeable maker. i look forward to your projects, and to see you develop further. try not to get angry with yourself if things do not go well patience and time are on your side

[@MariusHornberger]

+simon aldridge Thanks Simon.

[@ericoberbel1316]

o melhor projeto de aspirador do youtube, congratulations

[@HobbyGarageDIY]

Hi Marius, really remarkable is your simplicity and perfection. My most sincere congratulations. I have been following you for a long time and I find so much inspiration from your work ... a warm greeting from Italy

[@TomasHORSKYcom]

Amazing build, lots of great innovations. Thanks for awesome video 👏.

[@Ivan_Baev_45]

Хорошая работа!

[@specialk22tt]

Super clean build. Nice job.

[@T70781]

Great video. I like the way you attached the plastic sheet more than any other methods I've seen. I'll share some information that I hope will be helpful. I tested a centrifugal vacuum system that I designed a while back using cheap Bissell cyclone vacuum parts and a 5 gallon bucket. (videos on my KZbin channel). Although I could not see or even smell dust escaping, when I tested the shop air quality using a Dylos laser particle counter I found that particle counts went from around 30,000 per cubic foot (good air quality) to around 1,200,000 (extremely poor air quality) for particles 0.5 microns and larger. The collector removed the largest particles but became a pump spewing out the dangerous small ones. So, I would recommend installing your filters before using the system. The dust that you cannot see is the most important to remove because the smaller the particle the deeper it can travel into your lungs before being caught.

[@MariusHornberger]

+Tony Shulthise That was the plan. For the little bit of testing, I did so far, I wore my dust mask.

[@blackceazar1]

Very nice job Marius!

[@ZK-999]

Klasse Video! Und super Erklärung der Funktionsweise :). Macht echt spaß deine Videos zu schauen und man bekommt auch lust mal ein handwerkliches Projekt zu beginnen!

[@ConstantKouakou]

You share so cool works Marius , again have great success with your goals !

[@Shopbuilt]

Very impressive!

[@jazvecisko]

hi marius, awesome build. i think it would be pretty cool to put a light in the wooden bucket so it would be much easier to see how full it is.

[@bsergio96]

Great job Marius your videos are really entertaining and informative keep them coming greetings from sunny California !!!

[@henrysworkshop7477]

Brilliant! Its coming together now :) Mathias needs to watch out, theres a new kid on the block haha

[@dedasdude]

a little tip would be to point the dust inlet downwards so that gravity gets a little boost n the dust settles faster.

[@ThumpertTheFascistCottontail]

Another great build, Marius. Thank you for the video.

[@honeyy79]

Outtakes love them :D This is very nice dust collector

[@MusicalRetroAdventures]

Good trick with the screw/dowels!

[@chicocardoso7613]

You are genius young man.

[@brucemcnally3924]

You are a genius my friend.

[@contessa.adella]

I was particularly interested in your neat design. A few thoughts occur (which you already mention). First I think more distance between the bottom of the inlet and the baffle would give more vertical drop for the particles to sink down and secondly I am wondering about the ideal depth for the outlet to intrude into the chamber. Some designs have no tube intrusion at all, others go deeply down to nearer the baffle. Thirdly, I wonder about the ideal diameter of the chamber…too small and the wall of moving particles will be near the outlet suction…too large and the rotational speed will drop hmmm. Great project and vid. Thank you.

[@edheide7229]

THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD QUALITY VIDEO AND INFORMATION.

[@secondwind75]

It's looking good, Marius. Another entertaining video. Keep it up, buddy. Troy

[@johndavis8684]

Proceeds to walk over to his $2000 drum sander and then says I had to do a little bit of sanding. Nice shop man I love it

[@lorisverde844]

you are a genius ! and I like Very much you videos! !

[@TexasGTO]

The outtakes! OH THE OUTTAKES!!! LOLOLOLOL!!!!

[@matus158]

very nice job! It also looks good and neat.

[@benspens]

love the blooper reels at the end...Keep up the good work!!!

[@Gramarrowsmith]

Ha ha! Awesome build! Love the out takes!

[@virutillaspino]

Muy buenos todos tus videos Marius,saludos desde Tenerife España.

[@MariusHornberger]

Here is part 3 of the small dust collector build series. Enjoy it!

[@MariusHornberger]

Thanks. Really much appreciated.

[@rakeshpriyadarshi5606]

Marius Hornberger nice things

[@halemm]

very cool video marius!

[@malcolmoxley1274]

you must be really pleased?well done mate

[@MariusHornberger]

+malcolm oxley I am. Thank you!

[@karolh2]

Finally part 3. Waiting for it was a real pain. Besides, another great video!

[@pcka12]

Great little tool you have built, the only problem with your explanation is that there is no such thing as 'centrifugal force ' because as Newton pointed out bodies continue at rest or in uniform motion (in a straight line) and in order for them to spin round an axis a 'centripital ' force has to be applied. The air flow impinges on the walls of your separation chamber and so causes the spinning motion!

[@gamingSlasher]

What a nice and ambitious project. About the small dust getting sucked out. What would happen if you placed the white tubing under the outlet, maybe 2/3 height. Wouldnt that improve the centrifugal action but still allow air to be sucked?

[@MariusHornberger]

+gamingSlasher maybe, but I didn't try all possibilities yet

[@jamesthepuerilis]

Nice work Marius, very interesting videos

[@serv27438]

Wow, really nice job. Verywell explained.

[@bartoszjabonski4228]

Read the description on epoxy sometimes they don't want to glue materials like PP, PE, ABS and maybe PET too, hard plastic got special glue with activator. Have nice day

[@lamiallegerald3341]

Nice one. I like your style keep up the good work

[@donaldasayers]

I think the outlet tub needs to extend through the baffle. Then the baffle could be suspended bu the tube with a thin slot all around the outside.

[@ianspaintpot]

that is a lot of work for something that is just goint to sit there collecting dust

[@serv27438]

XDDDDD LMAO

[@Wendetta]

Ha.. Haha… hahahaha oh man😂

[@mikewelch3903]

Now THAT is funny!!! 😂

[@PlywoodCreative21]

Thank for sharing video inovatif and inspiratif🙏

[@MarkThomas123]

It would seem that forcing the dust down, once inside of the Thien-Baffle via a semi slow arc at the entry to get the particles to go down, then, on the bottom, another small arc going back up, about 2/3rds to 3/4 around, before the entry again, would force the particles down into the catch basin faster, which, if the arc at the bottom was at the top(bottom of the thein baffle), should bring back cleaner air. It needs a down draft for the lighter dust. The bigger chips work fine with gravity only. If it did not work perfectly, once the air/dust flow was lower in the drum, (not to upset the dust already in the base), another thin directional baffle could be used to keep the lower air circulating horizontally around the base, and still allow the air above it to be cycled back up. Seems the key is to get the dust/chip into the bottom area of the drum/base faster, and not circulating up top.

[@filmsoundno]

wow! just wow! I'm really impressed by your skills. how old are you again? The creativity and attention for details you show us is mind boggling. Don't you ever stop making videos, in no time at all you have quickly become one of my top five presenters☺ thumbs up for you sir, and greetings from Norway☺

[@MariusHornberger]

+Spacehero Thanks man! I'm 20

[@BariumCobaltNitrog3n]

Your accent makes you sound very smart and a tiny bit evil. But in a nice way. Love the baffle separator-chamber, clear sides is a nice touch.

[@mikeyork3871]

your outtakes are hilarious! THANKS following.......now.

[@2ndrunraidshadowlegends631]

Maybe add a particle filter will stop the fine dust from entering the suction chamber ?

[@toolify]

It looks great!

[@MariusHornberger]

+FastEasySmartTOOL Thanks Kriss!

[@staticfanatic6361]

I was wondering where to plan to take your hobby/business? Have you a woodworking career planned for the future? What do your parents think of your endeavors and what do they think about the noise and dust?

[@MariusHornberger]

+brian nelson No, I don't have a woodworking career in mind, it's just a hobby. My parents really like it and are ok with the noise. Dust doesn't really leave the shop.

[@boomfiziks]

As always...great job!

[@vdsmade]

Great job 👷👍

[@martijnfransen9933]

nice video Marius!

[@Loosehead]

Nice design that I may well adopt for my workshop, so thank you. I currently have a clear fishfood container as my cyclone with the baffle cut in its bottom and a dust barrel underneath, but the dust stream comes in so fast it completes more than one circuit of the cyclone before reaching the baffle, and bounces. I wonder if that is happening with your design - the dust appeared to be making at least 360 degrees before dropping to the baffle, by which time it missed the slot in the baffle. Cyclone height and baffle position are largely a matter of trial and error anyway.

[@hanymostafa3745]

very nice work

[@Pr0v0rny]

Thank You and thank Your parents!

[@changjaelee5892]

I enjoyed the honest video. What thickness dimension did you use for the material that appears to be transparent polycarbonate?

[@TabLeft]

Nice build. I have one very similar.

[@LordAnubis0909]

love the endings :)

[@Blenderite]

I love your channel. Very inspiring. My only observation. With the amount of Birch plywood you use, here in the US buying a professionally made tool would be cheaper! I can't get Birch plywood for any less than $40 a sheet. Birch must be more readily available over there.

[@adamquincey4371]

Excellent job and video...! Cheers...

[@videotube8114]

Hello Marius, can you please explain why is there a need for a thien baffle? and also, why are there two different types of thein baffle? (one that's all empty on the sides usually made for shop vacs and the one that you made in this video.) Please answer this. Thank You!!!

[@MrEdsster]

Thanks Marius, how about a inlet to attach to a lathe? I have a 36" lathe and not sure how to connect my dust collection to it. Any ideas? Great jobs on the videos.

[@MariusHornberger]

+MrEdsster I only use dust collection on the lathe while sanding. Therefor I just put the hose behind the piece I'm turning.

[@PieterHansma77]

when in use, does it suck air around the pvc inlet shute? by using some silicone it might create a little better vacuum in the separator or it doesn't bother you at all? Great video's!

[@MariusHornberger]

+Pieter Hansma No, it's a tight fit there. But a silicone sealing is planned. But I'll do that to all parts simultaneously when everything is finished.

[@fossman03]

Hey Marius, this is a great project and you make it look easy. Do you have a set of plans you will be selling?

[@MariusHornberger]

+Clemens Beck I want to, but the plans are not finished yet.

[@fossman03]

+Marius Hornberger What kind of filtration are you planning?

[@corinev.d.2615]

wow you did it so easy.. i can´t even build a closet of ikea...

[@mfwoodshop]

Nice job

[@vsavoldi]

Nice vid, I really like your style.

[@kyoopihd]

Pretty cool stuff you do, Marius. Subscribed! Keep up the awesome work.

[@thatkyledude1093]

11:22 You are correct about that.

[@naseeransari8006]

REQUEST By combining the mechanism of Flip Top table & Murphy Table , can you please create the Table saw , jigsaw table, etc,etc ...on wall ?????? Especially for space saving purpose 👍👍👍👍👍👍& Thankful for your tutorial

[@stefandebruijn3167]

I was really wondering how much sound the thing makes, because the air flow will hit the blades. Any insight?

[@chinslip1]

A quick question…would a smaller diameter separator increase the velocity for improved fin dust removal?

[@peXyLP]

sehr gutes Video, du machst dich immer besser und besser kannst schon sehr gut mit den großem "woodworkers" mithalten. wenn ich überleg ich bin im gleichen Alter hätte ich gerne auch so nen Keller aber mit Standard Werkzeug muss es aich gehen. liebe grüße aus dem Raum Bamberg, Sven

[@MariusHornberger]

+peXyLP Danke Sven. Mit Standard Werzeug fängt es an.
