The Workshop Air Cleaner Part 1 

really like the fact so many of you creative/inventive people help the rest of us out with your DIY builds. Thanks for this video. Very informative without becoming long winded or boring like some tend to do. you showed enough work and explained enough to make this a very helpful and great video. also, great build. :) Thank you.

This is a great build. I have a similar blower motor sitting in my shop. I will follow your guidelines to build mine. Thank you

Well, you just saved me around 100 to 200 dollars, had a friend that had some fan, motor, and squirrel cages for free, thank you very much. Great video and instructions.

Excellent video Ron. Your voice is great and your method of explaining what you are doing makes listening a pleasure. Thanks.

I was building one out of a regular fan, but thanks for reminding me that I had a much better fan collecting (lots) of dust in the attic. Works like a charm!

Great idea but I highly recommend a Kreg jig in place of biscuits. Thanks for posting .

Great idea!!!! I also like your miter saw station a lot. I'd like to see how it was built.

What was the width and thickness of your wood frame slats?

This video is a godsend, thank you! I've been given two home-use furnace/fireplace fans, one around 500 m3/h and the other 100 less, which is more than enough. My question is whether you'd recommend a setup like yours for a spray painting booth? I would be using both water- and reducer-soluble paints. They're both IP54 secure.

I think the filters will always be a bit under size, they are made to fit a 20 x 25 (or whatever) slot.

I'm scrolling through your plethora of videos to get to part II. 😊

Love your video's!

Great!! What is the blower Flow Rate (CFM) that you used? and what is the speed?

Great build Ron. How do you hold your filters in place?

How do you like the Sanborn air compressor?

U did a great job! Can u make one for me plz?

Ron, I liked this video. I gave up searching for part 2 of this. Please separate your videos using playlist. Also if you have a part 2, 3, 4 etc add a link in the description to the next video. Regards

For just dust; I'd use those washable filters sold for people with allergies for heating and air conditioning. They sell them now at most home centers. In a enclosed shop where wood work is done filters will need replacing a lot and can get expensive for any that are really effective .Cheap home heating/ cooling will clog quickly not be as effective; IMO.

any chance you could add the wiring diagram you used for the various speeds and the switches you used?

Can u tell abt blower specifications

Hi I'm making a box fan dust filter and wondering is it alright to use paint filter instead of furnace filter?

Whats the difference between a shop air filter and a shop sawdust collector?

......tip for ya.....you have to restrict the air going into the fan. All hvac fans must have a load on them. Don't ask me why but the moter will run HOT and burn out. Hvac service tech. ,,,,,,,duct tape or metal tape should restrict about 50 percent of the opening when used in this manner.

Biscuit joins are fancy for me Jeje I would had done pocket holes...

I haven't really seen anyone use biscuits since watching norm on the new Yankee workshop.

Looks like 2by4 to me

Kreg jig i will not buy very high prices, never. you get good deal for wood in Rona.

1:48 - What...

Get a Floor Dryer Fan, Easy Cleaning, Less Work and Less Time = Your Choice cause Time = Money $$$$ LMAO........................... Tips... You need 2 Stage Filters. Use a Cheaper Filter to catch bigger stuff and the expensive ones to catch smaller Particles. Change the Cheaper Ones often to SAVE $$$ on the expensive Filter :D

Enjoying your videos and especially this air cleaner, which I would like to do to a HEPA 0.3 micron rating to match my dust extraction. But I must say, you gave me the shivers twice when you placed fingers on wood just behind the table saw blade. PLEASE DON’T DO THAT 😅 it is very unsafe. Am I right or am I right? Again - great videos!

Cant buy that lumber for the price you paid now in 2021

This was a great build Ron. I see you did this several years ago but I just now came across it searching for workshop air cleaner ideas. Keep up the great content! This is an excellent idea to reutilize a furnace fan. You've got me thinking! Thanks for taking the time to document and share.
