So how did it work? Thinking of something similar for the garage

[@normakers5632]

Good job Sam! Humidity is the worst.welcome back

[@Samcraftcom]

It sure is! I'm not going anywhere with this channel, so no worries on me giving up on KZbin. :) Just don't get much time in the shop this time of year with our gardening and other things going on. BUT I have plans to keep the content coming!

Cool fan. Was pretty funny too

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks

[@mv7967]

Chris you are entertaining. Stalling to keep from getting upon that ladder. I enjoyed it very much.

[@christopherdekonstrukt444]

Bought a 506 for garage. Not air conditioned or heated and has a gas water heater in corner. Hopefully that will keep it somewhat warm in winter. This is south Louisiana and rarely goes below freezing. I'm concerned about storing flammables in there because of the water heater pilot light.

[@bobharveythercanddiyguy22]

OH Great Circleologist...(i.e. sam) lol, when i was in the army in korea i used to vent my barracks room with a fan in the window and it helped tramendously!! It will help a lot. keep up the good work!

[@Samcraftcom]

Great to hear! Thank you for your service!!

[@bobharveythercanddiyguy22]

[@fillowtree5505]

Nice project. You are looking for an attic fan with the thermostat to draw automatically.

You are so talented I always learn so much from you

[@georgewilmore7599]

I got lucky my neighbor moved and gave me his 12000btu window air. I only run it when I am in the shop. It only takes 10 minutes to cool things off. I use a box fan to help push the cool air around the shop. Good luck with your exhaust fan. I hope you get your desired results.

[@Samcraftcom]

Oh wow!!!

[@ruthspears3921]

Insulation would make a big difference.

[@cwhitmore88]

Great video Sam! Thanks for sharing this. Did you notice a change in temperature after running the exhaust fan? I'm in Austin, Tx and work out of my garage where it's usually 95+ during the day. Looking for inexpensive ways to get the heat out!!!

[@BRENT3143945]

It's my favorite, but work slows down in the winter

[@mlm7598]

Good job Sam! I don't like ladders or heights either and always stand behind my husband and steady the ladder when he goes up on it. Rare occasion and at any age caution is good! Bravo on the exhaust fan........that will work well........moving that air and getting that heat out of the top of the shop will really improve your situation. Like that you were able to use something you already had! Awesome! Blessings

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks Mary Lou! I'ts nice to have that space no longer taken up on a shelf and to also have the vent! :)

[@sherylynhilyard3402]

Your shop is so organized

[@Samcraftcom]

Only what's in front of the camera. Hahaha But I have been trying to organize it more lately! Which translates into taking out bags of trash and/or donation items to just get rid of things I don't need. :) Thank you!

[@nancylabelle3060]

Someone suggest an exhaust fan to cool our hot as hades florida room that is total glass windows on 2 sides, no screen except the door. Googling to see if we can do it and enjoyed your video!

Sure, here it is. I really like it so far, very adjustable for all sizes and tons of storage! amzn.to/3fsFJOn

[@webcrawler3332]

Good idea! Man I have a little giant and when it’s set as an extension type ladder it’s scares the crap out of me. That wobble at the pins always scares me that’s going to break there.

[@Samcraftcom]

I love this Werner ladder -- modeled after the little giant I'm sure. It's always been sturdy and never made me feel like I was about to break it. LOL Only down side is the weight of this ladder -- it's really heavy!

[@webcrawler3332]

Samcraft I might have to switch to it. Thx

[@zapa1pnt]

I have a Little Giant, built 7/'91, 18 ft, Type II Commercial, Load Rating 225 lbs. Purchased in '91, long before the infomercials. Mine has a leveling leg, but it is an add on, not a built in. (still a wonderful thing to have) Just about the best $300 i ever spent. I am 6' 165 lbs. and mine does not wobble at all, a really good thing, because I am afraid of heights. When buying a ladder, watch your load ratings, they are more than just numbers. You want a rating well above your own weight. That way it won't bounce under you. Safety is as much perception as fact. A bouncy ladder may be safe, but If you don't Feel safe, you are not safe. You can't go wrong with the Little Giant. Just Never buy anything less than a "commercial type II" ladder. (of Any make)

[@zapa1pnt]

@@Samcraftcom : Yeah, but it sure is easy to maneuver and store.

[@glengrayban3004]

Was it as effective as you hoped? Thinking of doing the same.

[@Samcraftcom]

Yes, very much so! For the summertime I have it plugged into a Wyze Plug and set to run on a timer for 1 hour at afternoon and 1 hour in evening. This drastically helps to pull out the heat. I can also turn it off/on from my phone anytime too. In addition to heat, it's nice for when I'm doing something extra dusty, or smelly like finishes. It helps to draw out the odors. This fan has been a great addition! Wyze Plug: amzn.to/3cL0VRP

[@MakinSawdust]

It was a bit stuffy in my shop today too. The temp spiked to nearly 72 F. I almost died! :)

[@bigscreenbird8198]

shop vac is making that noise because of a bad top main bearing on the motor. I've replaced 3 of my shop vacs with new sealed bearing and the noise went away. its a super easy project and costs about $4 per bearing maybe cheaper.

[@Samcraftcom]

Thanks for the info, I'll have to look into getting one ordered. It's maddening! :)

[@zapa1pnt]

@@Samcraftcom : Buy quality bearings. Such as one of these makers: www.clunt-bearing.com/info/top-10-famous-bearing-brands-in-the-world-29840590.html If your bearings fail, your tools/equipment may be trashed. Always worth every penny, even on cheap/inexpensive tools/equipment.

Why didn't you put the exhaust in the opposite corner of the room from where you're taking in air?

I see an insulation and full on A/C project in your future.

[@Samcraftcom]

I like the way you think, my friend! Minus the more ladder work up high in the heat! LOL

[@bobnicholas5994]

Ok I have fought through this same problem. I don't have heat or airconditioning in my workshop garage. It is solid 1950 cinder block construction with crank out metal casement windows. No window or wall ac can be put in. I accidentally borrowed for years a big power shop fan from my brother in law...its a fan. I am in Indianapolis, In and it is very hot and cold here. Can't stain or paint anything in the winter. I am robust like you and I sweat. I make about 2k a year doing woodworking so I feel like the cost of a mini split heater ac is extravagant. My wife is a mechanical engineer and I'm sure I will wake up one day and she will have a plan to put a used ac/heat furnace out there. Thats how my plans usually end up. I guess I'm saying we are in the same boat other then you aren't as much suffering winter. Wheres the Paslode vid? Lol

[@Samcraftcom]

I'm right there with you on the cost of a mini split! That and my shop insulation still isn't finished so it seems like it would be a waste to try and cool it. I hope to get the roof and upper wall insulation done before winter, but we'll see... The video project for buying the paslode will be over on our homesteading youtube channel, but that project hasn't begun yet. Waiting for one more item, then a break in the weather for a good bit.

[@kelshdoggie]

Thanks Sam! I am thinking about installing one of these fans in my bathroom in the basement to draw out moisture after shower. From the end of your video, it sounded like this fan is pretty loud. What is your impression of the sound level for bathroom use?

[@Samcraftcom]

This fan is loud, but that may be helpful in a bathroom? LOL It's not a quiet fan, but about the only one that's reasonably priced for a through-the-wall mount system. I've installed two of these so far (my workshop and my wife's soap shed) and they both work great.

[@gedreillyhomestead6926]

Hi Sam Do you have a window or door on the opposite side of the shop to the new extractor to get a through draught of air? It looks like the only door and windows are directly below the fan, although this is also where your lathe is so that's a plus. 👍 😎

[@Samcraftcom]

I don't, and that's a good idea. I worked on cleaning up the "storage room" in the opposite corner of the shop today. There is a door over there, but no window... yet? :) Thanks for the ideas!

[@bs9714]

I love your humor, and your videos!! Keep it up.

[@MaximAvs]

I want to know more about the wifi antenna! I need one for my shop as well.

[@Samcraftcom]

I'll add it to my video list! In the meantime, here's what I got (and have been using for over a year). You need two to make a 'bridge' from point A to point B: amzn.to/33szIi6 Alternatively, you can just install one of these, running a wire from inside your home at your router, and broadcast WiFi to the outdoors in the direction you need it and connect from there. I installed two of them because I needed a stronger signal in my workshop than I got from the outdoor unit alone. Hope this helps!

[@MaximAvs]

@@Samcraftcom Thank you Sam!! My shop is metal, basically a Faraday Cage. So I need to put a router inside the building, but need to get a signal out there and thought this might do what I need.

[@zapa1pnt]

@@MaximAvs : Yes, you will want a router, but you will also need to get your antenna Outside the "Faraday Cage" shop.

[@justarandomfishguy8868]

hi Sam, love your humor and NICE work done!! I am in Texas and my garage is facing west, HOT!! I have been thinking about similar system for a while but for me it would be more efforts because of the brick wall. Would you give an update on the effectiveness of it? Does it really make a huge difference? Thanks!!

[@Samcraftcom]

It does help, just also takes a while to exhaust out the hot air in my workshop, too. I've since put in a window A/C unit that has been much more helpful and effective -- now that my workshop is insulated.

[@DisabledUKPrepper]

I really hope the fan has helped. It certainly couldn't hurt.

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

I use to live in NC near Raleigh and Hendersonville, NC humid!!! Then I moved back to Texas West Texas where it hot in summer 100 plus very common winter I have seen zero degrees. My shop is small 400 square feet I just installed a MRCOOL 24,000 BTU mini split. It is wonderful well worth it! I hand a 12 k BTU Pioneer Mini Split it would heat fair but struggled with cooling. 😁🛫 best $1700.00 ever spent better than buying a Festtool tool.

[@Samcraftcom]

You know this area's humidity all too well then! I might be able to graduate to an A/C unit someday, but not until I finish getting the roof and top walls insulated. 👍

[@TheFalconJetDriver]

Samcraft I understand you are young. It took me along time to get to this point to install an AC/Heat! 😀🛫

[@beammeup7771]

Hi Sam. I was wondering if you would consider installing one or two windows up high, along with automatic window openers. Like the ones used in greenhouses. That way your workshop could already be venting before you get there to work, and it would be electricity free?

[@Samcraftcom]

That is a great idea! The windows would also help bring in more light, too! Putting this on my to-do list. Thanks!

[@zapa1pnt]

@@Samcraftcom : Sam, if you want to install greenhouse type vent adjusters, do Not get the non powered gas strut type. They open at about 75~80F and close At about 60F. When you heat the shop, in the winter, the most of your heat will accumulate up high, just as in the summer and the vents will open. There goes your warmth. Cold fingers are no fun.

[@kevinthayer9536]

Hi Sam. Love the video. I put the exact same vent fan in my garage workshop space about 3 years ago. It's in use around 6 to 8 hours daily and I have had to replace the motor twice now, at about 68 bucks a pop, in that time span. I guess it's not meant for continuous or long hours use, I didn't read the small print when I bought the original. I wonder if you've experienced the same thing?

[@Samcraftcom]

Hey Kevin, I've not, but I don't use the fan as often as that. I used a Wyze wifi plug to control and set timers for the fan to run a few hours at a time to exhaust the heat build up. I say used, because I've been working on a new shop build and moving to a new workshop.

[@RageTheNumbers]

Was there a noticeable temperature difference once you had it running for a while?

[@Samcraftcom]

I just installed it yesterday (8/2/2020) and didn't hang around in the shop afterwards to see -- came in to edit the video. :) BUT I am looking forward to how it feels in here today! I have a temp sensor that logs the data I'm going to put in here soon and record the temps with and without the fan to see what the differences really are.

[@RageTheNumbers]

@@Samcraftcom I'm a stats fanatic! I look forward to your results.

[@TheLukemcdaniel]

Sorry for the necrobump. You did this, but didn't mention it. Just wanna point out the importance of not using the silicon along the entire perimeter. You want to leave a bit of a gap at the lowest point of gravity in case any water does get in, it has a way to drain out.

[@Jaspel]

@samcraft I'll be posting a video on a similar fan setup with a differential thermostat shortly.

[@Samcraftcom]

Nice! Let me know when you get it done, I would like to check that out for sure.

[@neilorourke71]

lmao the compressed air to the face

[@carmineriganti2333]

WHY are your fire ext. at ceiling level ?

[@Samcraftcom]

Those are antiques and just for decoration...

[@whisperscream8297]

A possible option is motion sensor put inline with power. Can cannibalize from a motion sensor light be easiest option. If you moving around in shop it will turn on for 15-20 minutes or whatever the sensor allows (they vary). Old 'home haunter' trick. During winter you just unplug fan since you dont want all your heat blowing out anyways. If you do this make sure the time length and it is NOT a 'dark only' security sensor.

[@Samcraftcom]

Good ideas, and tips. Thanks!

[@joaorodriguessantos4519]

Ótimo

[@texasproud3332]

Sam if I used that workshop I would put a cheap a/c unit in the window

[@Samcraftcom]

Unfortunately my windows are too narrow for a window a/c... bummer! I've thought of keeping an eye out for a good used "in room" unit locally, but until I get the shop finished up on insulating (roof and highest parts of walls) it seems like it would be a waste? Then again when I'm down there in the heat I don't care about no waste!!! :) Thanks!

[@jfinnall]

Sounds loud for making videos in the shop. Of course you can turn it off but that doesn't help the heat any. When I attempted similar in the past the exhaust can extract only the excessive heat. If 100 degrees outside then the best it can do is 100 degrees in the shop. Cut a hole in the wall and mount a small window AC unit it. The quieter the better for videos. Air filter will be more of problem, might need cleaning daily since it is a woodworking shop that creates sawdust.

[@Samcraftcom]

You're right -- way too loud for shooting videos in the shop, and yes only good enough to exhaust air inside. But up there, with the dark metal roof and thin foam insulation it gets quite hot still. I guess I could put a cold air intake in the shop to draw air from under the shop where it's cooler, but that won't make a difference until I get the shop buttoned down with finishing insulation and sealing up doors and windows, so I probably won't do that. This is a good workaround for now to help with heat build up without spending extra money today. I still want to finish my insulation to where I could run an A/C and it be worthwhile. Thanks James!

Sam, this is the kind of fan you need: www.google.com/shopping/product/2043199034986751616?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=powered+greenhouse+vent+kit&prds=opd:410386802204959072 This one also has timer, humidistat, thermostat, speed controller with remote available. (all sold separately) Get the 24" and leave the windows open (and maybe door) and it will cool your shop as much as any fan can and suck out the fine dust.

[@MrGeroth]

I think your fan is way too small.

[@Samcraftcom]

Could be, but better than nothing and it was already paid for. :)

[@MrJohnnyboyrebel]

Save up all your pennies, nickels, dimes, and dollars to purchase a ductless mini-split air conditioner/heat pump. I have a 22x22 shop and my 18,000 BTU mini-split easily cools and heats it. You will need to insulate your shop, however. Now my tools stay dry and rust free.

[@Samcraftcom]

That would be awesome!

[@CoolBlue87GT]

Yes I agree, I've installed a MrCool mini split in my detached 28x28 garage, best improvement. Set for 74 degrees, runs during the day, turns off automatically for the night. Nothing like doing yardwork and returning to a cool garage here in SW Florida.
