Really just noticed your clever attachment to the 4x4's. I like that. I'll probably use it somewhere and it will be better than what I used to do. Stronger too. Thanks!
I've seen a lot of artisan videos. Countless different structures, hundreds of builders. However, up to THIS video, i have not yet seen a craftsman who makes a workpiece with SO MUCH passion. You have my highest respect for this achievement. THANK YOU for making such an effort, thank you.
This is true truly amazing. You should check out this video. He makes every part and will blow your mind! Mind blowing: Table saw dream protractor: Mitkock's ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xF6S8xU51K0.html
That’s a super downdraft table. Well done ! You make me very uneasy when you use the jointer and pass your fingers over the cutter head. Please make yourself an extended push handle. Many of the “old timer” shop men, like myself, that have missing digits, not like myself, are jointer victims and most will admit to improper technique. Rather the handle than your hand.
Louis Warmoth. Reaching over a running blade on the table saw was cringe worthy also. I never use my RT Unisaw without the guard. I’ve been debating for years about getting a new saw with a riving knife. But my splitter guard still works.
Dużo roboty. W pewnym momencie zacząłem zastanawiać się czy to drewniany grill ogrodowy. ;) A potem czy to jakaś plansza do nowej gry. Teraz zrobić wersję znacznie uproszczoną a równie funkcjonalną. Grube lite nogi podatne są na pękanie podczas wysychania.
I've read through a lot of the comments and it's obvious your viewers are quite impressed. Rightfully so as far as craftsmanship is concerned and I'm sure this thing works amazingly, BUT..... I have to wonder at the extent of craftsmanship employed to sand smaller parts for your projects. But if it makes you happy..... that's the most important part. Nice shop by the way.
I used plastic snow fence from Home Depot but that left burnishes on the wood so I added those 2' x 2' kids rubber interlocking play matts and cut 3" diameter holes with the hole saw. It still worked. All I needed to do was change direction of the dust, not suck a gallon of paint from the shelf.
Very nice work sir! As a craftsman/cabinetmaker I can really appreciate seeing such fantastic craftsmanship and attention to details, not to mention ur patience with all the tedious steps taken in making this beautiful /useful tool of the trade! Thanks for this informative video. I myself made myself a downdraft table to sand my cabinet doors and drawer fronts because I got tired of inhaling so much dust over the years, but mine wasn’t near as nice and detailed as urs
Super solid table. I use a portable table out on the driveway and then blow it all away with a leaf blower. Wish I had the floor space for a table like that.
Been a long time subscriber, it gets better and better. Let's hope youtube moves you up in the algorithm so you get the subscribers you deserve! Keep up the good work
Nice build, but over complicated I think. I built a box from 3/4" MDF that is 80" long x 24" wide x 28" deep. Bottom is closed, top is wide open. I put rails inside to support 20" x 20" furnace filters. There are four 1/2" supports at the top of the box. For the top, two layers of 1/4" pegboard glued with contact cement with the holes aligned. Attached with hinges and sealed at edge with foam rubber door gasket material. For the vacuum, I have a used furnace blower mounted under the filters at one end, with the output of the blower going thru a sealed passage that has a 20x20 HEPA filter at the end. For rough sanding I use it as is, and for finished sanding I lay a bath towel across the top, so the underside of whatever I am sanding does not get scratched by the pegboard.
All these people keep saying “keep it simple” well if that’s how you set the bar then you are mediocre and simple is all you’ll ever be, plus you are making RU-vid videos, so a creative and very unique build like this is exactly what people like me want to see and not some boring stupid “keep it stupid simple” crap that these lazy commentators all settle for. Man this build was so awesome and I’ll bet it’s such a freaking awesome tool to use now. If you could only mass produce these, I’d buy one or if I find the time and space, I will build one because of this awesomely detailed build video. Fuck the mediocre haters. You’ve got more thought into mass production, these novices would never understand a little hard work and effort now pays off in the bigger picture for mass production later. Lazy fucks that they are. Love your vids!!
So I leave my house to godown to my shop And this is exactly the vision I have of how my project will go then I start working ten minutes later my shop looks like a bomb went off in it I can’t find half my tools I’m usually bleeding so I go back to the house to regroup. Just when I think I’m getting better I watch a guy like this and then I know I still suck but trying.......Nice freakin job my man
I keep thinking the PVC is upside down. Crud will pile up around it I guess? If it were facing down I think you would get better draft. Could be wrong.... I guess best thing would be to wait to lock it down, rotate to compare? Whatever.. fun to watch, glad I'm not the only one who over engineers things
Buuuufffff .. he visto todo el vídeo si saber qué iba a construir..... oh Dios mío... lo diré desde el respeto, cuanto trabajo, habilidades, máquinas y demás ..... para eso ... jajajaja, espero que tenga mucho que lijar !!! Por supuesto está bien hecho y emplea técnicas muy interesantes, pero en un taller como el que tiene , se me ocurren muchas más cosas por hacer , que lo mejoraría aún más, peeeeero , por supuesto , cada uno hace lo que le sale de ahí, estaría buen. Saludos respetuosos!!
That was like reading a good mystery novel. I couldn't wait to see the end. I love that you paid so much attention to detail and tolerances. My old man used to say, "If you're gonna do it, do it right." I have subscribed. Can't wait so see some of your other stuff.
This looks absolutely amazing. I only have 2 questions. First, How do you keep the suction box from filling up with stuff? The inlet to the pipe is on the top half, leaving a lot of room for stuff to collect around the pipe without getting sucked into the pipe. Second, how do you keep stuff out of the boxes where the handle holes are? I didn't see you block them off at all, so they will fill up over time. I plan on building something like this, but much simpler. I'll just use a dust chute under the table to collect the particles. I really like the idea of using the feet on top, but that might be beyond my patience. I think I'll go with some T-track and hold downs instead. Overall...extremely well built unit. I love it.
I would turn the tube over so the intake sucks the fallen sawdust from the bottom and draws down evenly. Also I’d make the slot longer and narrower. Just my ideas.✌🏻
Excuse me for missing a small portion of this video. But is this video demonstrating the construction of a suction device? I wonder how much it costs to buy that much wood or such a task?
the rubber bumpers on the outer edge should be an 1/8th to a 1/4 inch taller than those in the middle...keeps the work on the table and from jumping off onto the floor. as the bumpers age they will get dust embedded in their contact surfaces to the work and the work will migrate all over the table. also, i would run a smaller diameter hose the to sander which would eliminate the need for either the dust bag on the device itself or a vacuum connection.
Amazing tool for your workshop. It’s nice to see someone build a new tool and not say “ it’s just a shop tool” you take pride in everything that you build. I love it. Thanks for the great video.
At first I thought just another Covid induced bit of 2020 youtube randomness.... but no, this was done in 2019. Don't miss part 2, it just gets better.
I built one for our makerspace using a pegboard face on a basic box. A handful of standoffs in the middle. Literally took me an hour to make the whole thing. Nice build, but am I missing something?
I didn't see it for one reason or another but did you shift the wire covered PVC pipe to vacuum the bottom of the bin? Just a thought to eliminate dust in the bottom. Very find fit and finish.
What a lovely lively wee cat three appearances and what beautiful markings. Now i have to say brilliant piece of workmanship this has to be the most enjoyable and impressive video of this type i have seen this man is at the top of his profession thank you.
Very nice build, but complicated to. You installed the dustcollector across the short side of the table. Wouldn't it be more effective to install it across the longside of the table?
Without a doubt that is the best sanding table - downdraft table top ive ever seen online. You can tell itll work perfectly, hopefully you show us a video soon of it in action!
Insane, it's the type of build you put off until something more painful comes along. My bet is, this came about as a way of putting off doing some kind of administrative ball aching task like going through three years of receipts that have been stuffed in a draw and ignored. That's the only reason anyone would so painstakingly construct something so seemingly banal in such an fastidious fashion. Keep up the good work, I love it. I would like it more if it was even more complicated. Could you do some inlay and maybe put the whole thing in a lathe too? Ha ha only joking oh wait, no I'm not, I'm having a breakdown because my children don't talk to me anymore because I spend all my time making giant wooden hovers in my workshop.
I really get a lot out of the long form videos you do. Just a couple gems I noticed; (1) template for even drill depth and placement of the feet. (2) some places get glue, and some places don’t like the lower dust collection piece need to be user accessible.
Great build! That table will last a lifetime. Can I ask why the opening of the vacuum tube inside the table was facing up rather than down? Seems like any dust/debris that isn't initially caught by the vacuum will just end up settling at the bottom.
I am also going to use this table for routing which is going to produce a lot of heavier chips that might get stuck on the inlet screen which is there to prevent tools and pencils from falling into the system. the upright position will make it easier to maintain the inlet screen and airflow is less constricted. I will have to manually vacuum out the inside periodically which I am fine with. with this configuration the heavier chunks of debris will likely fall to the side as opposed to getting stuck on the inlet which is efficient for production.
