Shop Tour February 2017 - The Alabama Woodworker

[@SuperKwame1]

I love young people like you, who are not afraid to learn. You are very bright young man. Keep your Great videos coming.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

SuperKwame1 I'm greatly humbled by your comment. Thank you!

[@johndriggers5947]

Fellow Alabamian here getting a degree in EE at UA. I'm also a woodworking hobbyist and this has to be my favorite shop from all the people I watch on KZbin. Subscribed!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Hey John! Thanks for watching. I love Huntsville and hope you decide to stay once you get your degree. GO CHARGERS!

[@brucegibson8053]

Just found your channel and thanks to Jason Bents for it. Even though I spent a lifetime in the construction field, I'm new to wood working in a shop. I like your arrangement as far as how you managed to make it so mobile. Will continue to watch! Look forward to more. Thanks!

[@awlthatwoodcrafts8911]

You've shown that it doesn't matter how much space you have, you can never have enough storage. A lot of people would have built a long work bench along the side wall and then cluttered it up above and below. You have a large space, with a 3-car garage, but you still worked at maximizing the use of the space and as a result, you have all the tools most hobbyists only dream of having and you still have a huge space to work in. I admire your organizational skills and ingenuity. Together, they make for a smart shop. Well done.

[@lowellsmith3413]

What's cool about your garage shop is it is deep. Like how you can stack your tools in the back and still get your cars in. Nice set up.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Lowell Smith It surely is a huge benefit!

[@Zerostar369]

This is really great. Something to aspire to. I love building and setting up my own shop. Watching it grow is really rewarding. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Zerostar369 Thank you for watching!

[@1982900F]

Huy - Thanks for all the wonderful shop ideas you've shared with us! You have a very functional and versatile space and have come a long way in four short years my friend!!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

David Moncada Thank you, my friend!

[@jaxistheman1]

MISUMI (I used them frequently in my engineering job)! I just found your podcast and am now binging your youtube! Love it, just ordered the 3hp Sawstop today!

[@DamoVegan]

I've heard your name come up in podcasts, so when your shop tour popped up here, I had to watch. I love the mobility of your shop tools & the perfect compromise of shop space while not losing parking space. I don't have a shop myself at home, so all my tools get set up in the yard, then packed up at the end. Subbed & looking forward to seeing more of your vids.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Damo Vegan Funny, that's how I acquired The Alabama Woodworker name. When u called into the podcast, I forgot to offer up my name, so the hosts just called me Alabama Woodworker.

[@daviddarrow4506]

Truly like the way you have a well equipped shop and maximize the space via rollers to put things away. A real plus that you still can use the garage for the cars. Nice workmanship on all the cabinets. Dave

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

David Darrow Thank you, David! It's a constant work in progress. My wife is extremely happy that she can park her car in the garage.

[@WayneBrownWoodworking]

Incredible video. I have a bunch of friends who are starting to woodwork and the wife is resistant to the loss of the garage. Perfect compromise here. Your organization and shop builds are perfect

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Wayne Brown Thanks Wayne! My wife is the last person I want upset due to my woodworking hobby.

[@ToroMoto]

Always nice to see a fellow engineer who enjoys working.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you! I love being an engineer. It helps in the shop.

[@lakebum6211]

Wow. Nice shop. Can't believe I'm just finding your channel. I subscribed so I don't miss anything else. I'm going to steal a lot of ideas when I redo my shop. I'm a few years out from retirement so, I'm getting ready ahead of time. I'm a Manufacturing Engineer in aerospace and just had my 45th anniversary last October. Thanks for sharing.

[@adrianabshire]

My family sponsored several Vietnamese families in the 80’s - they were awesome people and built a huge business in Port Arthur TX - love your shop! I only have a two car garage so only hers fits in (luckily it’s little)...

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

We were a sponsored family as well.

[@timmyneal]

Thanks for sharing...this was a great shop tour with lots of explanation as to why you did things the way you did. We'll be moving within the next year or two, I'll be setting up a new shop then. I added this to my favorites to review again later.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

timmyneal I hope this helps in your shop setup once you move. Thank you for watching!

[@richardgarrow9260]

I only have one word “AWESOME”!!!!! Love the shop, the lay out.. and you sir please do some more. I really like your style.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Richard Garrow Thank you, Richard!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

Great shop. Enjoyed the video. I watched your one on the hand tool bench and decided to sub and see what else you have in store. I'm late to the game, just finding your channel. The last part of the tour really convicted me about using my garage as a shop to the exclusion of my wife's car! The mobility of the hardware is really so simple and so effective. I think "lazy" crept into my workflow. Just 10 minutes at the beginning and end of each work session, to move equipment back to the walls (which makes cleaning up way easier) and I could at least get my wife's car in. Thanks for the kick in the ass! New project, mobilizing the shop tools. Cheers.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Wayward Woodworker Haha! Well, this wasn't meant to be a scolding...but I'm happy you're motivated to stay clean and organized. I function so much better that way. Cheers and thank you for watching.

[@Mr53gil]

It is always nice to see a fellow Alabamian

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Mr53gil thank you for watching! I love this great state!

[@robertorr2878]

Plenty of times things were in the way for my car to not fit in the garage. GOD FORBID anything left in the way of my wife's car!! Good job

[@carverparkes2276]

You are quite an inspiration man , I'm a black guy:), I am pinching all the good ideas you have been presenting. Thanks!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you, Carver! Wow, I didn't think I'd be an inspiration but I'll take it! :-) Thank you for watching and I hope I can continue to supply you with more inspiration.

[@horatiobeaker]

Great shop. Thanks for the walk through and details on your equipment. I'm in the city and have a more limited space I am building at home. The trailer in the driveway is increasingly becoming a necessity. Enjoy!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Mark Sims A trailer is a must

[@ShopNation]

Amazing shop! Very nicely laid out and organized. Gives me lots of ideas for my shop in progress!

[@bubbahogue5305]

Great looking shop, very clean and organized. I'm also in the Huntsville area and a Alabama fan.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Bubba Hogue Roll Tide!

[@WillyVLD]

Nice shop! Well thought of including the dust collection. I'm starting to build a 10m x 6m garage/shop next week and I think I might steal the "almost everything on casters" idea.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

WillyVLD The casters make sense for a shop that's always in flux or a small shop. I wish you the best in your new shop.

[@kevinbostrom9025]

I envy your organizational skills and not to mention the space to work with. It beats my one car garage/workshop. Looking forward to your future projects.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Kevin Bostrom I definitely am very fortunate to have the space that I have. I bought the house for this specific reason before I got married.

[@nickc2124]

This is a near perfect setup for a garage workshop. plus you can use it of your cars. By far the best garage setup I've seen. Good work, I also like Tim Wilmots designs.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Nick C thank you, Nick.

[@ZyklonB95]

Another Alabama woodworker here. Very jealous of your shop. I'm working out of a small 24'x10' shed and it's such a pain not having enough space for both tools and the actual project or wood storage. Great shop, and a good tour. Thanks.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you! I look forward to providing more.

[@ptz0n]

You really inspire me to keep the workshop clean. It’s a great feeling to leave the shop as you want it next time 💪🏻

[@keeskees8839]

With a shop like this, expectations are high!!Mlol.Subscribed, interested to see what is coming!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Well, I better not disappoint! LOL! I'll try my best. I sometime get too much in my head and over analyze things. That's probably the one thing that really slows down my production.

[@keeskees8839]

No pressure!! lol!

[@bobjackson3735]

AlabamaWoodworker Yeah, that is one heck of a shop! Is there any possibility that you could make back the cost of all those machines by selling some of your creations? ;)

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Bob Jackson Oh, most definitely not! :)

[@keeskees8839]

To me it is not about money, but about having a good time and make something.

[@josephhaddakin7095]

very nice shop. I was stationed at Redstone many moons ago & really liked that area. loved fishing there. I subscribed to your channel.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Joseph Haddakin Thanks Joseph! The greater Huntsville area is a great place to live. We'd love to have you back if you ever decide to move.

[@MrPotato2]

As one swing dancing woodworker to another, thanks for a great shop tour!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

MrPotato2 I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@RoomiesGarage]

Wow you are making me and a lot of people jealous of your space....great shop tour

[@papasteve215]

Sir, just found your channel and I really liked it. I’m building a shop very soon so I’ve been watching videos of shop tours lately and yours is close to the size I’m going to build and I’m very impressed by your organization. Thanks for the tour I learned a lot and got some great ideas

[@alanworks4354]

Your shop is awesome! I recently built a 34x34 detached garage/workshop, and I'm checking out all kinds of videos to get ideas on how to set mine up, I love the idea of portable workstations. PS, I live between Birmingham and Cullman, and it's great to see a local guy get some notoriety...Roll Tide! Alan

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Hey Alan! Wow, a 34x34 detached garage/workshop is a lot of space to work with. You could make an amazing work space! Yeah, man! ROLL TIDE!

[@hurricane767b]

Used to live in Birmingham, and miss the state for sure. Definitely gonna use Misumi in the future.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Samuel Korbe I love this state. Couldn't see myself living anywhere else. Thank you for watching.

[@39crescent]

It is nice to see another dixe friend doing this great craft

[@FranklinWoodWorks2016]

Outstanding shop tour. Your layout is well thought out, and it seems you do your research. I'm proud to have you in Huntsville!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

FranklinWoodWorks Thanks! You've got a pretty sweet shop yourself. I keep meeting more Huntsvillians. We need to organize a meetup!

[@FranklinWoodWorks2016]

My space is only the size of a single car garage, and tools on casters are the only reason I can function. The space limitation rears its ugly head when breaking down sheet goods, and filming for KZbin. If could only double my space.... I'd love to meet up with all the local woodworkers. I'm always wanting to learn more and get new ideas!

[@cbrSpeedster1]

Really awesome shop! I've watched this video a couple times now and love how you manage the flow and maneuverability of the tools. You gave me some great ideas...Thank you for sharing..

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you for watching!

[@michaelthornburg5060]

I totally agree with the vertical lumber storage. I did the same for about half of my lumber.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Michael Thornburg It was a really smart move for me. I did end up rearranging a lot of stuff bug in the end, this is a much better setup. Thank you for watching!

[@SabanWorshipper]

Welcome to KZbin from the other end of the state(Fairhope)..I am planning to tackle some projects myself soon and stumbled upon your channel while looking for ideas.I loved the tour,that's quite a shop you have there...Good luck with everything and Roll Tide.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

SabanWorshipper Roll Tide!

[@marenrjensen]

Fantastic shop! Gave me some ideas for my own, as I'm looking to change things up for higher efficiency.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

I'm happy you found some value in the video. :-)

[@MoreClientsFast]

I don't know why anyone would give a thumbs down for this video as you delivered exactly as your title in the video mentioned. Appreciate you sharing... I think your video of your workshop is quite good and wish I had a workshop like it. :)

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you, Mark! I think my overall style may not be what some folks are looking for. I focus my shop on furniture and cabinet making. I have good tools, some of which are expensive and out of reach for a lot of people. While I understand I may have something that others don't have, I'm not going to hide my tools. I'm going to use and celebrate them. Thank you for the encouragement and thank you for watching.

[@MoreClientsFast]

Glad to hear that brother... Looking forward to watching more of your awesome videos. Thank you.

[@dennisfahlstrom1257]

Very nice layout. Your shop is so clean and well organized it makes me a bit ashamed of mine. I set up a used 3 ton heat pump for my 1200 sq ft shop. It’s probably no where near as energy efficient as yours and in the Missouri Ozark’s it gets a lot of use. I’m subscribed and will be looking for your projects. Thanks for the tour.

[@mikevukas9818]

Thank you for a great video. I really appreciate you using a good microphone. It makes such a difference.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Mike Vukas That's one of the reasons why I took a short break between my router table videos and my most recent videos. I needed to figure out the sound. I got the wireless lav mic for Christmas. Makes a huge difference. Thank you for putting up with my first set of videos.

[@steveweaver8969]

Nice shop, I'm in Decatur, AL nice to see someone local.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Steve Weaver There are more woodworkers in my area than I originally thought. They're coming out of the woodwork (haha)! I'm thinking I might to organize some sort of meet-up of all the local woodworkers. Thanks for watching!

[@curtdahl1620]

Very nice shop. So clean and organized.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Curt Dahl Thank you! I try!

[@larrygf]

You did a great job on the shop and tour. I'm almost finished with my 28 x 40' shop and plan to model it somewhat after yours, except I won't need to put my cars in it...only motorcycles...great job

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Larry Fanella I'm sure you'll do a great job. Motorcycles are much smaller to deal with. One day I'll have a stand alone shop. For now this works great. Thanks for watching.

[@nguyentronghung93]

Like your shop. Nice to hear a vietnamese woodworker presenting. Keep it up my friend !!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Trong Hung Nguyen Thanks, Trong!

[@jamesburchell8615]

Huy what a great shop just watch the video glade to see that another wood worker is around I am just outside of Decatur Al

[@craignagao]

thanks for sharing your shop with us. You have great ideas.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

CRAIG NAGAO That you, Craig, for watching!

[@manny3549]

Engineer/woodworker....excellent combo! Good job!

[@jlgrizzly7972]

Love the shop, everything having a place and tools on wheels makes sense. Hope to see lots of projects coming out of your shop.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

J L Grizzly Thank you!

[@Aggiedad13]

Great video! I look forward to more. Go Chargers! I am a member of the UAH class of '78.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Aggiedad13 Go Chargers!

[@steverochon1620]

Huy, I found this tour thru Jay Bates and consider your site an excellent find. Great shop! I must've taken you as much time to clean the space preparing for the video as it did to put it all together. I'm looking forward to your content as a new subscriber.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Steven Rochon Thank you, Steven! Yes, it does take time to clean the shop but I take time at the end of ever day I'm in the shop to clean it before I go in for the night.

[@abdula9405]

Smart looking wood workshop. Awesome!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you!

[@hickoryhomes6838]

Awesome, thanks for the tour. Very nicely organized and thoughtout. Impressive. Thank you for posting.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you for watching!

[@m2772]

Great shop!!! And awesome set of tools.... You had me at saw stop.

[@seantyree8443]

sawstop is over priced and really isnt all that i sold mine and went back to harvey industries

[@bigdogmn73]

Thanks for the shop tour. I like your layout and I've had similar ideas on some of your stuff so it's good to see it come to life.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

WoodWorkingGuy MN I'm happy it makes sense!

[@bigdogmn73]

Yup..SOLID!

[@johncard7203]

Great looking shop. Clean and organized.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

john card Thanks, man.

[@jonh1404]

Wow, great shop. Very well thought out. I've only watched a couple of your videos so far, but already subscribed. Looking forward to seeing more. Nice job!

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

I really like your space. I have a small 16 x 12 shop that is tiny but plan to build off the back to house my dust collection and an area for welding. I kinda wish if as you were describing the machinery in the beginning that we actually got to see what you were talking about. Best of luck!

[@extremewoodworker]

Nice tour and shop. Thanks for the tip on Misumi Engineering. Used to live in Decatur and it is a nice area. Subscribed. Steve

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

ExtremeWoodworker Thank you, Steve! I'm a huge fan of your channel, so I'm very flattered that you've chosen to subscribe.

[@extremewoodworker]

Thank you - your tour and watching several other tours inspired me to re-do my lumber storage - going vertical.

[@Dave_A41]

I'm in Decatur !

[@peylorhandcraftedfurniture41]

Very nice shop and inspiring, actually watched twice and subscribed

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Darkwood Maker Thank you for watching and subscribing.

[@Pauken11]

Very nice, well thought out shop! For spindle turning your lathe is stable enough the way you have it. If you decide to turn bowls that are unbalanced, you may have some issues with the lathe moving around and vibration interfering with attaining clean cuts.

[@jeffdeluca1153]

If you find yourself jointing and planing in the same spot maybe a cord drop would save the extension cord need. My table saw is in the center of my shop so I dropped in a cord drop with a twist lock plug to avoid walking over extension cords

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Jeff DeLuca That's really smart! I have contemplated routing a drop but haven't gotten around to it. It be a project in the near future.

[@beachumwoodworks3630]

Awesome shop! I need to come check it out in person sometime!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Yeah, Chris! Anytime! You let me know!

[@frankie2234]

Just bumped into you. Really love the shop. Your presentation was just perfect. I think you should be on the DIY channel.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

That's very kind of you. More videos to come. Trying to record one now to explain the aluminum extrusions I use for my miter saw fence system.

[@colinblankenship2401]

Very nice shop with good practical idea's. Thanks for sharing.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Colin Blankenship Thank you for watching!

[@larryguffey42]

Need I say, this looks like a great shop. Well thought out.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thanks, Larry!

[@ntran2012]

Very nice and well organized workshop!

[@ShutterUp]

Very nice and clean setup. Thanks for sharing.

[@TreeoakJerryK]

[@billwhite6743]

Glad I found your site.If you're ever in the Tupelo area, send me a heads up. I'm in my shop most every day.Bill

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Bill White Thanks, Bill! I'll definitely keep that in mind.

[@kmlanham1]

Nice set up. Thank you for all of the tips and suggestions on set up. Thanks for the tip on Misumi Engineering.

[@MarkH10]

Enjoyed, Liked, Subbed. Once you said you were from VN, I expected nothing but the best. My last super tech I worked with in our field was VN, and the best also. Very hard worker....Now, if you will excuse me, I just discovered your channel minutes ago, and I have a whole inventory of videos to go watch, and like.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

MarkH10 Thank you! Thanks for watching.

[@joedaq6678]

another quick note, I like Your idea of what looks like a 36 inch wide or long Roll of Layout / Drafting Paper. I have something similar, i use Rolls of Brown Packaging Paper. And I also them 7 Feet up horizontally mounted on the wall. For Drawing my stuff Full Size ... Makes it easier to use standard rules on.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Joe Daq The paper comes in handy. I'm surprised by how often I use it.

[@abennett77]

Nice to see someone else from Huntsville!

[@robbie_graceannwoodworks4476]

Wow! That's a nice setup sir!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

gear_here Thank you!

[@trevorwheeler3973]

Very good set up. like it a lot, easy to roll cabs and tools with a smooth floor. unfortunately mine is 40 years old and rough and crooked so tools stay where they are, I have same 950 sqft but I have a room that is my spray booth which reduces shop space but still decent, thanks for the vid.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Trevor Wheeler Thanks, Trevor! Yes, a smooth floor makes a huge difference. I epoxied the floor a long time ago, before it was a shop.

[@bradywscriber5455]

Great look at the shop!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Thank you!

[@shannonm4664]

Great shop. I got so many ideas. Thank you so much.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Shannon, that's great! That's the whole point of these shop tours. Yes, it's fun to show off your shop but the ultimate goal (for me) is to offer ideas and advice. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to shoot them my way.

[@pancake2662]

I'm 6ft so I like to put all my machines up 4to6 inches. I always make sure though I have my face shield on. About 20 years ago I was running my table saw without the splitter and aboard got on top of the blade and just slam be right in the gut but after that I never run my table saw without a splitter on the back. That's why I bought a shaper to do grooves door slides bottom

[@garymarlow9612]

Roll Tide my friend! Keep up the good work. I look forward to following your videos. Garfish

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Gary Marlow ROLL TIDE! Thank you!

[@kevinwright3564]

Nice shop and some good ideas moving forward.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Kevin Wright Thank you, Kevin!

[@rljatl]

Very nice shop. Clean, neat and well organized. I am over in Atlanta and in the early stages of setting up my shop in the garage. Will also be parking cars in there. Wish mine was a three car garage. You have given me some good ideas. Next steps for me - paint walls, hang ducts, build lumber and sheet goods storage, put castors on jointer/planer, build combo MFT/3 and router table cart, etc... I see your Festool rails hanging on the wall. I've got to figure out a place to store mine. Finished putting together my dust collector last weekend and will be hanging the main duct along one wall, similar to yours. What diameter is your main duct? Later, Rob

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Rob J. My main ducting is 6". My drops are 4". I minimized the amount of flex hose used to go to the tools. I do have one long 15' flex hose that I use to attach the jointer and planer. I figured the line loss would be minimal considering it's the first drop. Everything has a spring loaded self cleaning blast gate that I bought on a smoking deal from Penn State Industries (I want to say I payed $60 for 8 aluminum spring loaded blast gates). Based on my research, you want to maintain the biggest diameter possibly until you reach the tool. Lastly, make friends with a HVAC tech. I had my HVAC guy buy the thicker gauge ducting, wyes, reducers, etc. It was a lot cheaper than buying ducting from Norfab and much higher quality than buying from a big box store.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Rob J. PM me if you need any help!

[@rljatl]

Thanks! I just may do that. ;-) I have some of the same things you have, like both Jessum Clear Cut guides, Fastcap version of the Paulk Workbench, Trane mini-split HVAC, etc... I really need to get on the stick and build some drawer storage and install shop lighting. Are your lights florescent or LED? I would prefer LED, but not sure which ones and where to buy.

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

I really should have mentioned the shop lighting in the videos. I bought my shop LEDs from Sam's club when they went on sale for $19.99 a set. They go on sale often. The lights are 5000K, 4500 Lumens. I have 6 of them illuminating the area where I spend most of my time doing joinery, assembly, layout, and cutting (my Multifuntional Outfeed/Assembly Table). To give you some prospective, I shoot my videos at an f-stop of f/4 and an ISO of 200, and sometimes my videos can be too bright. I hardly ever see my shadow. Hope that helps.

[@rljatl]

Yes, very helpful. Not seeing your shadow is important. It's annoying when your shadow covers your cut line or something else you need to see clearly. I'll check out Sam's. Sounds like a great deal.

[@frankie2234]

We need more vids from you. Thanks

[@TheWoodWerker]

Hey Huy!Another Huntsvillian Here!..(I'm actually a Proud Native!) Just happened upon your Channel and Subscribed instantly! I appreciate the content and look forward to seeing all your videos!

[@2shoestoo]

Nice shop clean and organized.

[@ecrusch]

Very nice shop. Thank you for the tour. Eric central Florida

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Eric Rusch Sr Thanks, Eric! Thank you for watching.

[@jonathanhowe42]

This is a nice setup. I thought I recognized the miter saw stand back there. I wound up doing pretty much exactly what Steve did, except flipping the right & left lower sections because I'm right-handed & wanted more outfeed to the left side. Interesting combination on the table saw outfeed table, there. I still need to build one myself and was thinking of just modeling after this, but after seeing this I'll have to do a little more thinking about all that I might want it to do for me. I've been able to get all my FesTool stuff at the miter saw station (again just b/c of his design), but if I do make a larger-function outfeed/assembly thing, then perhaps it makes more sense to have the sanders there at least. For the dust collection, did you do similar duct work with a smaller collector, or just having the cyclone? I've only got a 1.5 HP "standard" Jet dust collector, but still wanted to get some piping going. Where were you able to acquire the ducting itself? Was that an HVAC type shop? I was originally thinking PVC, but now I've seen a couple people using this, so just trying to figure out what's best (and won't break the bank..). Thanks!

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

The ducting was installed for the cyclone. I acquired the ducting through my HVAC pro.

[@Hasy84]

An amazing and professional setup. Thanks for the tips

[@AlabamaWoodworker]

Hasy84 Thanks for watching.
