Installing Dust Collection in the Barn (clearvue ef5)

[@bay9876]

Nice layout of the Dust Collector. Having it out in the barn is so much better than a shop in the living quarters. At the best of times, small dust particles get pretty well everywhere. The wife will love you for this. Nice video

[@mcremona]

I have both. Two shops 😁

[@idontthinkso666]

Uh, this doesn't replace the other shop. This guy has TWO shops.

[@Saltshaker2016]

@@idontthinkso666 yah, I’m jealous too. I just moved my shop from a 900 sqft space to 140sqft space because “The boss” said we needed to build and apartment 🙄.

[@robertpenn2152]

“Watch Matt put all of his body weight into tightening these fittings for 30 minutes” 😂 Still amazed by the lining up of the trunk to the cyclone. Like you said, couldn’t have planned it that well if you tried.

[@Samalyzer45]

Your sound (decibel) difference is known as the open field effect. An aspect of sound waves is that they have, "pressure", and for example, noise/sound level testing on large machinery at one time was done outdoors to eliminate "pressure" and known as an "open field test". Without the tightly enclosing walls (the garage) the sound "pressure" is less, and you get a lower decibel reading, and reaction on your eardrums.

Consider dumping sawdust into your compost garden. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings. Peace Matt.

[@brianelliot2719]

You can dump it into compost but wood is mostly carbon so it’s missing other minerals…you can add grass clippings (nitrogen), but you’re low in trace minerals which can cause poor results if not added.

[@MikeC19100]

Barn Dust Collection ---DONE! Nice job getting it installed single-handed. One thing that helps with the sound dampener is the spray foam on the walls in the barn compared to the drywall surface in the shop. You could add some egg-crate foam to the wall behind the shop dust collection system which would help dampen the sound somewhat. They use that stuff in sound studios and it works great. You may have gotten some of that type of foam in packaging materials with some of your equipment purchases. It couldn't hurt and it could be installed with foam-safe spray glue..

[@williampope3531]

Matt's eye calibration is better than most people can use a laser! 👍👍

[@JIMMYBUSHIDO]

I had my iwn flooring company As you can by the comments, there are a lt of people interested in the manufacturing, and possibly installation of the product. That would sho the complete journey from tree, to floor. Im sure you gals would be very persuasive with any homeowner who have your product in their home 💯😎👍

[@delgoldthorpe4005]

Great job mate, especially lining up the initial run to the filter :) my only comment would be the bolts on the filter and cyclone....you fitted them from the bottom, if you fit them from the top and put the nuts on the bottom, should the vibrations cause the nuts to come loose, all you loose is the nut and washer, and the bolt stays in place and makes the fix easier and faster ,and the bolts hold everything roughly in place until the new(or old nuts if you can find them) are replaced. Great vid :)

[@murrayandru7527]

" Where does He Get all those Wonderful Toys !! ?? " Gardens love wood chips, dust etc. Enjoy Matt Awesome set up.. Kudos ...

[@victorhopper6774]

had a huge old cyclone in the foundry's pattern shop i worked at 35 years ago . they had it mounted outside, much quiter inside that way. i doubt they bothered returning the air though as the place was hot as hell.

[@arthurjones9580]

Cool seeing your slab surfacer working! I'm not into wood working and have been curious how the finishing process of a slab went down.

[@davidattenberg4720]

Congratulations

[@thebigswede1736]

To make any assembly sound super technical just add "uhmuh bobber" to the end,😀

[@joeromanak8797]

I never thought I’d tell you that your latest project sucks but here we are. 😉. In my small shop, the chips and dust go on the floor and wading through the mess or devoting time to the cleanup can really quench your enthusiasm for the job at hand. You won’t have that problem so 👍.

[@sheep1ewe]

Thank You! This was helpful since finaly i plan to install a proper dustcollection instead of all the clatter with movable fans i use currently....

[@TastelessChicken]

We have the same driver, it has a sheet metal screw setting. It works really well, you don't need to worry about overspinning the fastener, the driver stops automatically.

[@jefflee6711]

I would move the collection drum under the shelf and put two stakes out above the barrel rim to be able to lift the top off and rest on the stakes so you can roll out the barrel to empty. Really nice setup for dust collection in the barn.

[@ronnielloyd4514]

Matthew you are smart, intelligent and funny. You can laugh when things do not go exactly as you would like. I would start breaking things, which is not a good thing to do. I enjoy watching everything you do.

[@chrissometimes7473]

FYI - for anyone who doesn't already know - 3dB less means HALF the noise - dB is a logarithmic scale.

[@jeffjones4006]

Behind a millwright for 45+ years installing equipment in many difficult places you did a fine job. Climbing around the equipment is part of the job. Keep up the great vids.

[@mr19471985]

You have good lay out of the system and it works. I understand what you were saying about blind luck verses planing that tube line up, yes sometime blind luck is still around. But you are meticulous and luck is more matter of fact. Your shop is well laid out, it looks great.

[@MickielPowell]

Matt, I've burned a few miles of wire both mig and flux cored . My fair share of rods. You're a good stick.

[@judithfairchild8620]

I'm sure it took you longer than 30minutes or so to get that dust collector put up and together. Job very well done.

[@Rogster559]

Love your safety precautions for working at heights, very encouraging for learner safety, by the way those snap clasps will take your fingers off if you are not careful , mongrels are very hard to shut until the last second then they snap shut generally on your little finger , if they close easily they are too loose , other than that you have done an excellent job , well done from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺

[@jamescole1786]

4/22/23; ..barn dust collection..new vacuum for slab flattening/router debris..Looks great Matt, kinda EZ installation due to your advance planning & mighty fine 'cam&gruve' clamp style solid tube-to-vacuum system. Now show us some of that slab flattening, want to see your slabs all cleaned up & ready for sale! Stay safe & carry on!👷👏👍🍷🍷😊

[@rotorhawg8052]

Great job as always. One quick observation: when installing the filter shaker, I noticed you put the wingnuts on the top. Since the shaker is basically a vibrator, eventually the nuts may come loose, and if so the bolts will eventually drop out, as opposed to having the nuts on the bottom, then even if they vibrate off, the bolt will stay in due to gravity (or until the "vibrator" throws them out also). 🤣

[@JeronimoStilton14]

Yeah you definitely want some nylon locknuts, a spritz of loctite, or both.

[@MrDannyr2000]

I think you could add a bracket to the wall put that collection drum lid onto when you take it out to empty save lifting it up and probable save it from rolling off

[@mcremona]

That was my original plan but I like the shelf better; fewer things poking out from the wall if I want to move the drum out of the way to access the pallet rack

[@michaelkindy3850]

Decibels is not a linear scale. A 3db noise reduction is a halving of SPL (sound pressure level).

[@darkfactory8082]

Oi, Matt, that drum will be full pretty soon.. Instead of wasting the sawdust, have you considered (even making a diy) bricks press, so you can use it for heating in the winter? Surfacing the slabs produces many many shavings to my knowledge. 😉Keep on, be frugal if you can. Resources will become very expensive..

[@richs5422]

Decibels is a logarithmic scale, so a sound drop of 3 db means that the silencer absorbs 50% of the power.

[@davidpape9726]

Great job installing the new Clearvue. I have the 1700 and it provides enough suction to pull your hand into the duct. I bet this one will really suck! They did not have the filter vibrator years ago when installing mine. Have to get one of those.

[@firesurfer]

Put rubber foam strips on the wood for vibration. 14:17

[@bobbray9666]

Matt, you should have buried PVC pipe under your slab when you had a chance. I did and it was cheaper for the pipe (PVC drain pipe), static is eliminated due to the pipe in soil and no overhead pipe to collect dust and take up head room. By adding enough ports, you can still move equipment around. I buried 6" S&D pipe.

[@mcremona]

Doesn’t make sense for a dynamic space like this

[@oswynfaux]

The rule is 1/d² for sound reduction, with it way up near the roof unlike the other collector it's going to be quieter, plus I think the spray foam might be acting as a acoustic absorber

[@alanblasczyk1779]

You are really multi talented Matt. Once again...excellent job Sir !

[@alanblasczyk1779]

In response to asking if you can text me, I am emailing you my cell number now.

[@TomsDIYShop]

Hey Matt, really enjoyed watching the installation of your new dust collection and, also being a one-man show, I can appreciate the sometimes sketchy maneuvering needed to get the job done! Great Job!

[@Cdshakes]

for db tests, i always like to compare of where my ears will be. Curious the difference from the shop (where you might be standing and working), to the barn, where the dust collection is mounted up so much higher, what the difference in the db levels are for your ears.

[@mcremona]

89db standing in front of the planer in the shop; 84db standing below the drop in the barn. I don’t don’t these reading too useful though since they’re so specific to my use case and with dust collection, the db will be much higher when the machine I’m pulling dust out of is running (94db while feeding a board through the planer)

[@Cdshakes]

@@mcremona thanks for the reply.

[@mrtnsnp]

@22:08 Get a few strong magnets and put those on the swivel-joint. That will fix it in place, especially if you put them next to the transition between the halves.

[@sallyeblen7032]

amazed at all you do by yourself.

[@pmdinaz]

I'd rather be lucky than good any day of the week! Great job Matt!

[@rogerdudra178]

I hung the drapes for the Life of Montana building in Bozeman. The finished length of the drapes was 131 inches. When I first hung them, I'd had them made 120 inches long. Everyone freaked out that they were too short, it was a Friday. I told them to call me Monday for shortening them to 131 as they'd be on the floor. They were.

[@ErtsenPlayGames]

Use some dampening matt for cars etc and put under and in front of it some diy sound dampening panels out of wooden frame and insulation wool or just some foam that will redirect the sound up above into the foam Should help a lot

[@pinwizz69]

Nice vac unit Matt. Very little struggle bus issues installing it. It's surprisingly quiet. It'll definitely keep your shop nice a dust free. Those negative nellies who complain about the plastic one in your garage need to get a life. It's your system and if you've had no negative issues with it they should keep their yaps shut.

[@mauriceryton]

The only change l would do is switch the wing nuts and bolts the other way on the dust vibrator. That vibrator could loosen those wing nuts and the bolts will fall away. Nylon lock nuts would be better imho.Nice install.

[@rhondasweeney7271]

So cool, Really enjoy how you explain how you're putting it together and then, start laughing. Thank you for sharing😊

I bought a Clearvue cyclone dust collection system, and also bought the Norfab system to pipe all my equipment. The Nordfab duct was/is an amazing - albeit expensive - system that is really quite simple to install and does not leak!

Slap one of those Matt Cremona decals, way up high, on the new sawdust collector. I was nervous some, knowing you were climbing around in your rafter area 25ft up, while recording the session. What an excellent set up for your Barn. Another well done set up, for your wood working.😊

[@huntz3215]

Could use the shaker for snow on roof.

[@nicobogaard2315]

Not being a sound-o-logic specialist, my take on the dB’s is that the lenght of metal tubing resonates, I think your setup in the shop would benefit from a muffler.

Matt I love your can do attitude..I like your shop and house...Fine Job!! one suggestion is to use a cardboard barrel rather than the steel drum...much easier to empty and you can install a window at the top of the drum to see when its full. Thanks for all your work.

3dB. Not insignificant… but honestly, as small amount as could be considered significant 😂. But it does change the character of the noise. Hard to tell how without a spectrum analyzer, but still… glad you’re happy with it. It does seem worthwhile, at those levels that is a pretty important 3dB.

Thats great it works up that high. Provides for so much overhead room. I was wondering if the motor/impeller was ging to be able to pull the sawdust/chips up to the height of the horizontal ductwork. I wonder how much load pulling the sawdust up that high puts on the motor. Should the temp of the motor be monitored. I don't know. Great work.
