I would watch two longer videos on your dust collection upgrade. Your workshop infrastructure is pure art.

@Rob-ln7dd Год назад

Your workshop is a work of art... It's utterly beautiful... Fabulous workmanship... I'm in awe.

@felixreali7101 7 месяцев назад

the longer your videos are, the better. I can't get enough of these. and I'm really envious of your workshop.

@royhaffenden3228 Год назад

Regarding the dust extraction video, the longer and more detailed the better gets my vote.

@HookedonWood Год назад

thanks for your vote :-)

@walterplaessmann5865 Год назад

On the dust extraction video, I don’t have a preference on whether it’s 1 or 2 videos. I’m most interested in what your goals were in tackling these projects, issues or problems you had to overcome, design ideas you considered, why you ultimately chose the solutions you did, some details on the build process, and how the components fit together as a system. And does it all work as you expected or would you do it differently as part of future enhancements. Thanks for the great content on your channel!

@HookedonWood Год назад

Great feedback. Keep that in mind 👍🙏😀

@jamesleither Год назад

I really enjoyed the short shot on your dust extractor. What really got me was your Silence Box. It appears to do an impeccable job of picking up the dust and it was definitely quiet. I would buy your plans in a heartbeat. I can't wait until the next episode.

@sunalwaysshinesonTVs Год назад

Ya know... I watch quite a few different WW channels. Denis' work demonstrates the difference between American and Dutch attention to detail. There's one American I watch that stands miles apart from the rest for his precision, but Denis....Like wow! the amount of detail, organization, precision, and craftsmanship with his shop just blows everyone else outta of the water.

@aeynosarturii8053 Год назад

Dennis, this is a comment on your body of work not so much this video alone. I really appriciate how you disclose your rational and thinking behind your decision making. You explain things very well with intuitive demonstration and explanations. From the tools you discuss on your channel to you design decisions on workbenches, I always learn something even on topics I am well versed. Thank you.

@HookedonWood Год назад

Thanks for your comment, it is very motivating for me🙏

@Mike--K Год назад

I prefer one video for the dust extraction project. I am not burdened with a short attention span and enjoy the longer project videos rather than being spoon-fed short bursts.

@zapa1pnt Год назад

Dennis, I love your videos. I think your imagination is great, your designs genius and your work impeccable. 😁✌🖖

@thehangardesigns Год назад

I’ll take whatever style/length video is best for your channel- as long as you’re building stuff, I’m here!

@davidsiddle4678 Год назад

Really looking forward to hearing more about the new improved extraction system... Looks awesome and I'm sure I'm not the only viewer who is jealous of it. Shows just how far you can go with a relatively inexpensive basic extraction unit. Best wishes one and all.

@HookedonWood Год назад

You are right about that David. This system is so capable. My big Hammer and Felder machines require 20m/s at the dust port, which is 5 inches. I tested the airspeed, where I enlarged the 4-inch pipe of the dust extractor to 5 inches and had still 30 m/s airspeed at the dust port. So, this single dust extractor could handle all my machines, from small handheld sander to my big planer! That is amazing for the price.

@Basseba Год назад

I don't know what it is about your videos, but I find my self watching them over and over again, just a few weeks apart. I've probably seen nearly all of your clips at least twice. And I just keep coming back to check something again. These banggood reviews are awesome! And everything you create looks so clean. Good work!

@warrenthompson433 Год назад

Give us 5 videos of 30 mins Dennis, I'd watch them all, because your videos and designs are a work of art. Thanks for sharing.

@Arcarius76 Год назад

The dust extraction teaser was great! Love it! Please make 2 episodes showing how you designed it and put it together. Having 2 episodes can also allow you to show us more details than trying to squeeze everything into 1 long one.

@redfox1066 Год назад

Love your China tools episodes, it’s helped me choose some well made quality tools at very reasonable prices. I’m just getting into woodworking and don’t have a big budget but I want to buy reliable and accurate equipment if possible. I would watch two longer videos of your dust extraction system as it looks brilliant and safety is so important in a workshop.

@pedro-marques-jesus Год назад

2 videos, because i like the way you describe everything. With all the details… i like details, as well.

@davehunt0000 Год назад

Very excited to see your video (or videos!) on the dust extraction system. It looks amazing. Love the bucket lift mechanism and super interested in the 3-port device and how that works.

@hastingb 3 месяца назад

Got my XK4 a few days ago. I bought it based on your review. I've been holding off on buying a pocket hole jig because the popular K brand was so expensive and it's made from plastic. It just won't hold up over the long term. I have to agree with you on going with a sturdy aluminum PH jig.

@duster8100 Год назад

I am glad I can exhaust my dust extractor straight to the atmosphere with no need to use filters when I see what you have had to do to your system.

@HookedonWood Год назад

I think indeed that is the most convenient way. But all the air that will be blow outside also comes in. This can be a problem in winter or summer when you have airco.

@dirkl9689 Год назад

The longer video is fine with me… Keep on going with your great work !!!🎉

@MCsCreations Год назад

Fantastic review, Dennis! Thanks a bunch! 😃 Your shop is looking sweet! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

@pauloosthuizen Год назад

If the topic can logically be divided, then I would prefer two videos rather than one. Again an excellent video - keep up the good work.

@DanielNilssonSe Год назад

Thanks Dennis, great review as always. One comment on the "pro max" vs "build platform" - maybe it would have made a good point in this video (and this goes for lots of other tools as well): a comment on storage size requirements. With this, and like a woodpeckers-style drill guide, there are often lots of small things to store along with actual base thingymajig. I'm always super-interested in what is the smallest possible box I can fit everything in (even if I have to build it, but using IKEA food containers or similars for reference would work). A platform, it's flat, but it adds to what have to be stored, and preferably together with everything else. So this "pro max" might have an edge in that you do NOT need a platform. But the rods are this long, so you need a box that long, etc. Just an interesting point I would love for you to consider adding as a point to your scoring card in some way.

@rbproductions78 Год назад

Dennis, you have caused me to become a Banggood addict haha!!!! In two days I bought 8 items based on your reviews. My pocket hole jig turned up today and I'm pretty happy with it. One thing I find slightly disappointing is that the "metric" scale is just the conversion from the imperial scale that uses all the same increments instead of a dedicated metric scale with actual measurements of common wood sizings. Oh well, compered with the price it is still very good. Thanks for the recommendation.

@Size15s Год назад

I'm happy with either if two shorter videos is what the YT algorithm helps your channel attract more viewers.

@HookedonWood Год назад

Good point👍

@BrokenThornDesigns Год назад

Your content is so intriguing to me that I would sit through 30 mins no problem. You're an inspiration to me on how you set up your shop. Well done!

@dariushmilani6760 Год назад

Dennis this work bench is the Roll Royce of all work benches.. I look forward to your first class videos.👍👏

@MrExcell24 Год назад

Your work is incredible

@kylehayden8769 Год назад

Yes two videos please

@numberkruncherr Год назад

I would suggest one video for the extraction system. If it's too long for some people to watch in one go there's a pause button. Having the whole subject in one video is more convenient, especially a few months down the line when we're upgrading our own systems and want to refresh our memories on the details of what you did.

@HookedonWood Год назад

Thanks for your answer!

@benkeller3 Год назад

As cool as it looks it deserves whatever it takes to cover it well. Your projects are a joy to watch, thanks for what you do.

I’ll be watching wether it’s one or 2 videos. Between the new camvac, the nano max filter, the new whisper box and the added cyclone maybe it’s an easier edit to split it up. Great job on the review Dennis!

@TheWeekendWoodshop Год назад

That dust collection system is awesome. Functional, futuristic, FABULOUS! Well done 😁

@jyfjgtyuh 6 месяцев назад

Amazing looking platform, well done!. I bought this jig and I have mixed feelings about it. The body is very well constructed and the holes it produce are very nice. The problems are that the drill bit is a total junk. It didn't manage to drill a single hole in pine. The clamp is also problematic, it takes too much time to adjust it to the proper material thickness. Half a turn is a difference between too much force or none at all. I had to boards one 17.5 mm and the other 19mm , and I had to adjust the clamps for each of them differently. I've replaced the clamp with a Bessey STC-IHH25 inline self adjust clamp, and I'm using my Kreg drill bit and now it works like a charm.

@oclaser Год назад

I would like to see in depth built. Thank You!

@paulrans3336 Год назад

Hi Dennis, doesn't matter 1 or 2 video's , whatever is the clearest man and would buy your plans too. Love your shop and everything in it... you're doing great things ! ! !

@ratdolcy Год назад

I really like your videos. I find them quite educational. I have a suggestion. For tools that you review from China Tools, in some cases they are copies of a branded product. It would be nice if you can also mention what the original product is, so that your viewers can do a comparison. In many cases, I would rather pay a bit of extra money to the company that makes it on brand. In this case, the tool is a copy of the Massca Pocket hole Jig.

@HookedonWood Год назад

I ma not always familiar with when it is a copy, and if so, from what brand. In this case, I did not know.

@Toyotajunkie Год назад

There you go, teasing us with the new bench and you haven't even posted the dust extraction video! 😂 I truly wish I had the opportunity to use my creativity and ingenuity like you do. The things you make are amazing. They all look beautiful and function so well. Thanks for the review, I will be purchasing a base version soon. Other "expenses" take priority at the moment. You have a great weekend as well!

Another great video 👍👍👍 When you make the dust extraction video it would be great if it is 2 videos, about 15-20 minutes each 😊

@walterplaessmann5865 Год назад

Glad you are attuned to how you interact with the tool as part of the review process, that adds good perspective to whether the tool is a good choice or one that could end up being frustrating to use. You mentioned one step up in terms of quality, which pocket hole jig were you referring to?

@stephanhepp9763 Год назад

I would also prefer 2 shorter Videos instead of 1 long. Your Workshop is pure inspiration👌🏻

@simfro2530 Год назад

Hi Dennis, I would like the longer version about the dust extraction more. Can't wait for the second one to get uploaded😂 Really like your content. Perhaps you can give a hint if you think that some of your adjustments only work with the 3 motor version and not with the two motor version. Think most people have the two motor version. Thanks in Advance.

@HookedonWood Год назад

All the upgrades work great with the two motor version, except replacing the control unit, that is very straightforward with the 3 motor version and reversible without the factory will know. That said. The two motor version can be run on two motors most of the time, where the 3 motor version will give serious suction power that you not always need. So you will switch this more on and off. But further than that, the two motor version os perfect

@simfro2530 Год назад

@@HookedonWood awesome thank you. Will have the Camvac in another room for noise reasons but will run it via an extension cord so I can turn it on and of from the workshop. Not that elegant but I think it is an easy and cheap solution. So it's good that most of the time I can just use both motors. Just have to install the pipe system. My new workbenches are nearly done. Only have to add the dog holes.

@davidm2645 9 месяцев назад

I like the long videos. They are with more detail. I purchased the PRO Max version from your review and really like it. I noticed one thing that I wanted to ask you about. I noticed that you places a small piece of plastic on the bottom of the guide to set the drill depth. How is that method used for the different depths of drill bit and sizes? Is using the other guide that comes with the Pro-Max a better system of setting drill bit length?

@draztiqmeshaz6226 Год назад

Yeah I'm also on board with 2 part, perhaps a detailed tour of the working system, the why's and how's and the journey. The build itself might be the longer of the two. But hey, you're the RU-vidr here.

@mckentycarpentry4665 Год назад

You could still utilize the extensions and stop blocks with the "pro" pocket hole jig attached to a base, as the stop blocks come with predrilled holes as well. Just attach a small piece of plywood to the stop blocks the same thickness you have used as a base for the pocket hole jig. you can then use them as intended. Although I would still prefer what you have fashioned as a base lol

@HookedonWood Год назад

Yes, clever idea as well!

@neonsynth Год назад

And here I was, thinking that I'm being too extra with my setup. Glad to see others like to plan like I do, it makes me feel like less of a freak of nature lol. Oddly, this is your first video I've seen and I just found out recently that I'm 34% German, 40% Danish. Perhaps ancestry is more influential than we believe, known or not. Great shop friend, and clean work. What other interests do you have aside from lasers and woodworking? I'd be curious to know what got you to this point in life. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your content, and I'll be sending a link to your channel to my girlfriend the next time she says I'm being too extra 😂

@neonsynth Год назад

I have an OmTech 100w Co2, a large homebuilt Reci 80w Co2 with a newer Ruida control system, and a scattering of diodes for my laser work, several large format 3D printers which I also designed and built, woodworking, metalworking, and painting setups, and an electronics lab. It's a challenge to get everything situated nicely, the dust collection system is still a component I haven't taken time to perfect so my woodworking area is isolated from the rest. I'm looking forward to seeing your videos on your process Dennis.

@HookedonWood Год назад

Thanks for your reply? We are not alone after all :-). I mostly like woodworking and designing things. Further, I have a sort of nature of finding solutions for problems I come across while woodworking. So, this RU-vid thing covers everything I like, challenging, Filming, editing, woodworking, and creativity. So, it is hard to find time to do everything I like. It is a shame we have only one life.

@neonsynth Год назад

@@HookedonWood I couldn't agree more friend, I have far more interests and passions than a single lifetime can provide the means for enjoying. Although I certainly try :) I need to quit picking up new skillsets, although I must say that the more areas that one can become proficient in, if not master, the easier it is apply those to the benefit of all the other skills to find innovative new solutions. Much like you do as well I see. That is fascinating how you find solutions while woodworking, I find that a lot of my ideas for my multitudes of projects arise while I am working on electronics. Well met, I hope life finds you vigorous and happy these days.

Hi Dennis, with your dust extraction system I would recommend two shorter length videos and one long video. This will provide maximum attraction to your videos. What thickness is the little Perspex square you use with your pocket hole system for drill lengths. As ever thank you for an entertaining video.

@koryleach9660 Год назад

In the beginning of episode 29 you mentioned you'd review the "pop up" bench dogs in a later episode. I've not found them nor is it listed in any of your reviewed tools on your website.

Yes, My plan was to install it in my workbench vise, but I needed an unpractical forstnerbit that I do not have, so I chose tho work with a normal bench dog instead. Maybe later.

@numberkruncherr Год назад

I notice that you've tried different arrangements of dog holes on your various workbenches over the years. As someone who is considering purchasing the parf system and building several benches (one for myself, but mostly for the London Hackspace when we find it a new home), it would be interesting to know what you have found works, and why.

@HookedonWood Год назад

Yea, I plan to make a video about that. I have got different accessories from different brands that works on dogholes. I am waiting on a few of them and I need some experience with them before I can make this video.
