Excellent reel! And good editing on the short that snagged my eyes. Only regret is that there's no way in h#// I'm ever going to achieve "shop perfection" like this. What a shop!

Another great project as usual. The opening made me laugh because we've all been there...knocking everything over trying to reel in a hose.

Nice job, man. I've been enjoying your videos over the years and you have made some super nice projects. The 1" vertical belt sander is definitely one of my favorites. The brake mechanism on this hose reel makes it. Great design. Thanks for sharing your work with us. I love seeing how happy you are with your work upon completion of each project.

Brilliant! Great design and practical! Like you, I can't live without my hose reels. The one in the garage is for 75' of 3/8" hose on a retractable reel, and the one in my basement shop is for 25' of 3/8" hose with a hand crank. I love your design from wood though. Looks cool, too! :)

Clever design!! Looks great! And I'm happy to see the CNC at work for this too!!

Excellent job! Looks way nicer than the junky reel that I bought from Horror Freight long ago!

Excellent project. Clever ideas have been shown!.

Brilliant Justin👍

fun to see a little humor about what every person in their shop has gone through

love it!!!

You could always incorporate a recoil spring, like on lawn mowers, into your design to help rewind the hose. A little interesting design and it would work great. Thumbs Up on this present design for sure...

Great job. Thanks for sharing the video.

Really great project. thanks for sharing...

You’re right, it does look too nice to use. Interested in the Avid build.

Great job, way better than my commercial reel. If you can design an auto retract then I would highly recommend that feature, I love mine.

If hoses are wrapped up like rappelling ropes, they roll and unroll very nicely without turmoil. For more information, This Old House has a video on how to wrap up a cord.

In my life, I've never thought of using a router to trim dowels flush. That's a great little tip, instead of creating fine dust and using up a sanding disc.

Excellent job! 😀

Excellent build 👍 happy new year! 🥳

Great video!

Keeping it reel Reel nice Reel smooth Reel neat

very cool

Best intro even

Amazing work! Great design as usual! On another note, what CAD software do you use to design your projects?

Cool intro!!!! 😂

yep air hose is a pain to lay out and roll up so..................... I bought a self winding/retractin reel hanging from the ceiling just so great to use and store haha

Very nice and great for those that want to have everything in their shop made themselves, but with hose reels available off the shelf for $40 and the cost of materials these days, it would dave a ton of time and money just to buy one instead.

Cool build - a couple of questions 1. It looks like the Swivel joint added a lot of friction. Is it an issue / anything better to reduce friction? 2. Reaching under the Reel to release the brake looks a bit awkward. Any ideas to move the Brake actuator to one side? 3. The Wind-up handle looks difficult to use versus a longer, bigger handle. Not an issue just curious how well it worked 4. To modify the design for Vacuum for Dust Collection instead of Air pressure, any thoughts on what would need to be changed? (Bigger pipes, Replacing the Swivel Joint to redirect the output to a Shop vac, etc) ps the View from the Inside looking out at 23:18 was awesome 🙂

Not criticism, but Teflon tape is not a sealant, but is a lubricant for tightening up the fittings, to help make sure it does seal.

Can you make one for a shop vac vacuum hose?

Big time Dude Dad vibes haha.

Make the best cat wheel ever my friend 😊, please.

👍

😊😊😊😊😊

I feel that you glossed over the hardware parts. Like what is that tee in the center of the reel? And did you cut your own threads in the pipes?

How did you secure the reel to the axle so when winding the hose back in the reel doesn't freewheel on the axle?

Would you please provide a link to 90° swivel hose joint. I can't find one and suspect I'm using the wrong search words.

I always appreciate the detail in your builds, but you can buy a hose reel from Harbor Freight that costs less than what you just spent in materials and it automatically retracts.

Oh good, because for 20 minutes I kept thinking Stop Using Your Air Hose like this and Start Using Your CNC to Make This. Grin. Clever brake.

One day im going to click on a video for a DIY project, that only uses a handsaw and an adjustable wrench. one day...

You could have bought one for cheaper than making one. The one you could have bought would self retract, stop when and where you want it to, and spin true.

The intro was a little bit (too much) exagerated.
