Shopnotes Shopvac Cart + Oneida Dust Deputy

I purchased the Dust Deputy by Oneida Systems. It's incredibly effective in doing it's job. I decided to make a cart and I followed the Shopnotes plans in issue#109. I'm very happy with it and highly recommend you build it! I made some slight modifications to the original plans to accommodate my shop vac size and hose accessories. To skip my commentary go to 4:08 please.

Great video! It's always fun watching reader's build the projects we work so hard to design. If people are looking for detailed plans for this project, they can find them here: www.woodsmithplans.com/plan/shop-vacuum/

Appreciated the “Benny Hill” bit at the end there!

[@SCWD_US]

My pleasure. The good old days.....

[@trevhaydon5090]

Congratulations on your fantastic achievement with the weight loss. Top man. The Shop Vac is great to, Thanks for sharing.

[@SCWD_US]

Trev Haydon, Thank you sir! It’s been really handy!

[@craigmonteforte1478]

nice Work , Kudos. to you going with the Patended “ Original especially being on a tight budget , whenever I can i try to do the same thing including the smaller local Hardware stores instead of the Big BoxStores

[@SCWD_US]

I have a weird sense of humor. 😂 Thanks for your comment. I certainly have come a long way.

[@TheKristinbatman]

Very needed and cool tool holder.

[@SCWD_US]

Thank you so much!

[@ureasmith3049]

I like that design. Hose down low making it less tipsy. 👍 I bought the Dust Deputy just got to get around to building a cart like this.

[@SCWD_US]

Nice! I’d love to see your cart when you’re done.

[@wallacemadewell3917]

Loved your comment about high tech. Just like I do, you find a way to use what you have, even if it is using two screws for your stops.

[@SCWD_US]

LOL Thank you! That is one of my first things I built. Thank you for the grace and I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230]

This came out really nice. I wish I had the room to wheel one of these around to each station. I'll end up going with the Harbor Freight 2hp Dust collector that will be in a "closet" behind the shop along with the compressor. And congrats on the weight loss!! From personal experience, it's not easy, so stick with whatever you are doing.

[@SCWD_US]

Thank you! It's a work in progress. I'm giving it my best. Have a great day!

[@MarkJonesRanger]

Good job on the video. Enjoyed it. I am installing 2 of these. One for a 4" 1 hp bag filter unit and one for the 2" shop vac. I am using a FAST CAP hose reel with a 25' pool hose on it. Tired of cleaning up the shop vac filter and the mess of it. Good job on your build. I like this cart as well. Yet my system is fixed with the 25' hose on a reel.

[@SCWD_US]

MarkJonesRanger - wow you’ve got quite the operation going on. Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@DeanHoyt79]

Good job and good video. Your vacuum cart came out great, those are really good plans.

[@SCWD_US]

Thank you Robert! I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. One of my earlier builds.

[@dougtisdale3262]

I loved the cleanup music? Nice cart.

[@SCWD_US]

Thank you sir! It kind of dated me but that’s ok.

[@davidbondi]

@@SCWD_US Benny Hill... classic

[@bobnicholas5994]

Nice job on the getting fit.

[@SCWD_US]

Bob Nicholas Thank you.

[@trainwon5699]

Nice build thanks

[@SCWD_US]

My pleasure!

[@IHEUKWU]

Great video and thanks for sharing. What brand/make of T-Square are you using in this project?

[@SCWD_US]

Thanks! It’s a Harbor Freight special 😂

[@kirkb2286]

I guess you did lose weight especially when you vacuum at the pace you did at the end of the video. 🤣 Seriously major congrats on your weight loss !!! The video was great 👍 thanks so much

[@SCWD_US]

Kirk B Thank you! It’s been a blessing and a honor to start woodworking.

[@GaryLundgrenCrafts]

Very good! I may have to re-think my set up. Been using something similar with a Rockler cyclonic canister. Doesn't keep my shop vac quite as clean. Thanks!

[@SCWD_US]

Thank you Gary!

[@cstephens00]

Great video! One question about the construction - I notice a lot of screws going into plywood end grain. Any reason you couldn’t/didn’t use pocket screws here for a stronger joint?

[@SCWD_US]

I'm fairly new to this. I just followed the plans. I am learning as I go hence this suggestion. Thank you for the input!.

[@cstephens00]

Ok no problem. There are a couple of other Shopnotes Dust Deputy Cart builds on youtube and they're all built the same way (as the plans call for). I'm new to this too, and am about to start my build. Was thinking about using pocket screws rather than going into the end grain (except maybe for the 3-inch'ers going into the tall piece from the bottom..). Anyhow, keep it up and thanks for the video, will help me get mine done!

[@SCWD_US]

I'm glad it can help. I have no issues with it being loose or coming apart. I didn't even use glue on the joints. Just the hose holder wrap. You may want to use glue if you are concerned. Cheers!

[@biginufm4264]

Why does it look like you cut the holes out with a brick in the dark?

[@SCWD_US]

I live for jerks like you.

[@cstephens00]

One more question - at 20:24 it looks like you’re using hex bolts rather than screws to install the casters. Can you let me know what hardware that is? The plan calls for #8 x 5/8” wood screws, but that seems way too small for my 3” casters (the mounting plate has large holes). Your bolts look more suitable.

[@SCWD_US]

Yes sir! I ran into the same problem. Went to Orchard Supply and bought (1) package of #14 x 3/4" Hex Washer Screws and (16) Cut Washer Zn 1/4-In . Hope this helps.

[@cstephens00]

Thanks. And congrats on the weight loss!

[@SCWD_US]

Thank you! I'm down 9 more pounds! Woodworking is great!!!

[@SCWD_US]

FYI. I couldn't give all the information about the build on the video due to copyright issues. I tried to be as thorough on the filming as possible in case someone used the video for building.

[@jeffreybond8143]

I liked your video. Where did you acquire the hose and 90 degree elbows?

[@SCWD_US]

Hi! it came with the Dust Deputy kit. Thanks for liking! =)
