In the past I would look forward to watching your vids but lately they are a waste of time ! What is going on with you guys ?

Did you give up on the house build?

Probably most of us who originally subscribed, liked that you filmed your progress. It wasn't that you were creating content. Clickbait like this one, have turned me off. Content yes, conclusion no. "you have been doing it wrong, this is the best way". Until something changes, like off grid and propane,to electric. It's a free format, do what you will. But it isn't a must watch any longer, it's comedy.. And I'll watch occasionally.

what a waste of everyones time

What the heck is going on with you guys, the last few videos have been very questionable and why has the home build stopped.

Remember when these two were building a house? That part was fun. I wish those days were back...

Just build your house.

What they’ll this got to do with HOUSE BUILD

when do you expect to wrap and side the house?

between this and the epoxy video the amount of misinformation is astounding.

When are u going back to work on the house by

You don’t seem to understand what these collectors are designed to collect. Hint, small particulint is not it and you proved it. These are made to take out larger particles. So much work, so much waste of food.

Nothing but junk videos anymore

Looks like a waste of money if you can't prove the basic concept.

Are you ever gonna put siding on your house?

Absolutely shameful waste

i miss house building videos

That was really a waste of money and my time, you didn't prove anything.

What happened to the build vids. Y'all taking the year off?

There used to be a time when looked forward to new videos every day. That was about when you guys did the foundation, walls and timber frame. Haven’t seen a video in almost a year.

Jesse you've got to much time on your hands

Actually flour is explosive, and it's a serious problem in big plants. 70% of powdery materials used in industry are flammable-explosive.

What a waste of flour (and my time)

You do realise that flower is highly flammable when it's dispersed in the air. And also that static is perfect way to light it.

this was probably the most non-scientific testing that I have seen. If you want to avoid a main clogged filter, use disposable dust bags inside of the vacuums. You may want to repeat the test and not fill each dust collector to full capacity. You are seeing overflow 'dust' going to the vacuum. Those results may be more realistic with the proper use of each product.

Sorry to see such a waste of time and energy as well as flour. I wonder if your intent is to actually reduce your following?

Next vid should be on waterproof toasters....

You have way too much time on your hands, get back to building something usefull

Total nonsense!!!

Hope your insurance is up to date .Flour suspended in air plus static electricity is a perfect recipe for an explosion

Work on your house.. What did I watch?

How hard is it to get the electrical pulled? Wasting time demonstrating why dust collectors exist.

I think he's bored and has money to waste.

Not sure what is happening with this great site but all indications are that they are just taking advantage of a billing opportunity with KZfaq or one of the products. Site in the past has had great content and very interesting. Would be nice to get back and finish the house. If he prides himself of his knowledge he is aware OSB chipboard does not have a long life expectancy in the weather. If it gets to the point of delaminating he will find out what problems really are.

Sorry, gotta join the naysayers here. Wasting food is just wrong.

Will someone please explain to me the relevancy of this video?

Looked like a waist of time and money.

Let do anything else but work on our house...

I thought the reason for the added separators was to cull out the larger pieces. seems you started out with ALL FINES thus defeating the purpose of the unit. Did you really need 3 new vacuums or would it have been the same if you used 1 vacuum and 3 new filters? A little more cost conscious.

Surely there must be a better way of wasting time and money !!! Obviously you've got a surplus of both !! Looks like KZfaq is paying you way too much for this garbage content.

Such a waste of food !!!

This feels wrong on so many levels. First: waste of food. Second: risking dust explosion. Third: product placement / unmarked advertising? Not sure about the last one.

What a waist of food. :(

Wow so much waste of flour

Keep in mind that the items you were testing are to collect large wood shavings, not necessarily fine particulates like flour. That is because the larger particles can clog the intake of the vacuum and rob it of incoming air. I know it has happened to me while using my thickness planer. I was actually surprised they trapped as much flour as they did. Which probably means the vacuums got all the ultrafine flour particles. Also, yes flour can combust, just look for silo's exploding on the internet, they all had a grain of some type and it was the fine particles that caused the explosion (same with sawdust). The first big flour explosion took out an 8 story building. I would invest in a spark arrester for the hoses where the charge is building.

But why???? Next time you feel like wasting time and alot of Money.... just write me a check. I'll happily waste your money on something more video worthy

What was the point, and what did you prove?

Hey, just curious - are there going to be any more videos about house construction and homesteading?

Interesting video, how about one on house wrap next? What happens to a SIP if the outside OSB goes bad?

My understanding is that cyclone dust collection is meant to separate the bigger heavier bits of wood shavings and allow them to drop in the bucket and the finer dust, like flour, would pass through so I’m not entirely sure you conducted a proper test.

flour dust is highly explosive. If you see a grain elevator, each bin is a potential huge stick of dynamite. Don't worry the major cause of these fires are static discharge.

Flour is maybe more explosive than dynamite.🧨 There is a reason why people mix it with water and other ingredients to make or bake it solid.😱

YES flour is very explosive.

I thought the idea of these cyclones is that they collect the larger chips and allow the fine dust to go to the vac. It seems like these are collecting the fine flour dust in the cyclone. And yes, flour dust is explosive.

The outside of your house isn't finished. FAIL !

Sorry - if you were trying to show that the cyclone separators were efficient at keeping your filters clean from sawdust in a woodworking environment, this was a total fail. Flour does not equal to saw chops nor saw dust.

Do not know why you chose to use flour. Flour will a here or stick to anyting. It's always been very hard to clean up. But these machines weren't meant for cooking flour. You're not working in a bakery. The machines you're working on are mostly used for work shops. I don't feel as though your experiment proved anything. Could you explain why you chose to use the flour.

Buys expensive dust extractor takes it out side and blows filter out with compressed air and no dust mask. Might as well just skip the stage of buying the extractor

Don't waste food people around the world starving?

Flour is much lighter than saw dust, don’t expect it to work like it would with saw dust. The test is flawed from the start.

What a waste..

questions: How much money was spent on this? Why do things like this before wrapping and siding the house?

Did you read any of the instruction manuals? I know that one of them says not to fill the bucket or the cyclone doesn't work.

I purchased a Dustopper prior to watching this video. Before I used it, I changed the filter on my Rigid shop vacuum and cleaned it out. This is hooked up to my table saw and proceeded to cut some scrap lumber. After about 25 cuts to a 2x4, I took the top off of the vacuum. Nothing in there. I removed the Dustopper from the 5 gallon bucket and there is a nice pile of sawdust. It works like a charm!

Yeah, this has become a train wreck. Call me, once you actually decided to produce relevant content again.

You need to clean the vac filters out and try the comparison again using saw dust NOT FLOUR!

the SIPs must be rotten by now...

I'm pretty sure these devices are designed more for wood dust not the finer powder. I use a Duststopper on a Rigid vacuum to collect dust from my chop and table saws and it filters out probably 99%. It's the $40 I've spent.

Did you find out how explosive flour is? Yup, its very explosive! Even more than saw dust.

All 3 were overfilled. Pointless test to me ??

Yes it is EXPLOSIVE.

Flour is VERY explosive!

So the moral of the story is, if you have a flour mill don’t use a dust collector designed for woodworking.

the fine dust that came through. also, why waste so much flour when you could dump the 1st one and use it again? bake cookie, not waste it please

Congratulations! You just lost another subscriber. Have fun waiting another Month for video everybody....

Remember that, while you're downstairs, playing Mr Wizard & creating a flash- over/explosive hazard...you've got your FAMILY upstairs.

Where was your "control"...a vacuum with NO dust cyclone? Oh...by the way, flour dust is explosively flammable with direct flame exposure.

I hate to tell you BOOM. Flour and air mix is highly explosive. All flour mills have specialist anti-static equipment.

Chief…You got it all wrong. This was such an unethical and useless waste of food and does NOT demonstrate what these cyclonic separators are supposed to do. All the brands are already thoroughly tested and DO perform from average to great

I think it's official, they have jumped the shark. You didn't test anything. You don't follow the instructions then talk down about the product. He does this all the time. Blames the tool or company cause he doesn't read or know how to use something.

Flour is a lot lighter than sawdust and also finer. Flour is very explosive when in suspension with air. Keep safe.

Don't ignore your youtube friends. Won't be the same without them. House sideing idea stucco with rock paste. It is fireproof. Do you know where to get rocks?

I'm not having the feeling that all is well here, anymore. Maybe the next video will be the design and construction of an overbuilt cat box..............

Jessie, fine dust is very explosive in flour or cement factories

Note to Jesse: Always clean vacuum filters facing downwind, not upwind.

This is a Darwin Award application video! Luckily you didn't win.

Flour is lighter than most shop dusts and when the bucket is half full you will start getting more bypass.Flour probably was not the best media to use.

Flour is very combustible ! Several grain bins have exploded over the years from dust and wheat chaff accumulation ! You got lucky !

Doesn’t make sense if you have a 5gal bucket why would you vacuum up 30 or more lbs of flour which is more than the bucket can hold. Wish you would have done a test with about 10 or 15 lbs of flour. Maybe redo the test with less.

Yes flour is explosive. Try blowing some off of your hand toward a lit match

Remember the beautiful inspirational post and beam they visited prior to raising their timber frame? Whatever happened to that plan? I think they're done. They should just subcontract out the rest of the build. It's beginning to look like gypsies live there.

The issue here is that these are sawdust collectors. As such, sawdust is NOT as fine as flour which easily becomes airborne and does not settle out well. i think you made an unfair test using flour. The DustTopper has No problem when used properly in a woodworking shop, as illustrated by other videos. If you wish to try again, go to a lumber supply shop and get a big bag of sawdust from their saw mill collection system. - - and try again. the results will be much better. Bob S

Jessie, flour is very explosive, the grain silos don`t explode for no reason, static electricity sets it off. To do this experiment, run a ground wire to the vacum hose hose and earth ground, that way static electricity charges don`t build up.

Flour is VERY Explosive and you have way too much time on your hands. Maybe you could get back to the building and finishing your home, instead of playing games and spending money.

Dust and static is actually kinda dangerous btw.

6 minute mark. Him: Everyone one of those pops is me getting electrocuted. me: HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!

Well I guess the fun of watching the house build and progress is over, we are reduced to no progress and flour so you will loose me as a subscriber and guess many previous followers think the same.

Tons of KZfaq videos on dust collection systems. Sorry to see a total waste of lots and lots of flour. Wouldn’t use any of these collectors after watching this video.

Flour is explosive when airborne and can be pretty dangerous in large quantities in a dust cloud.

Flour was the wrong medium to test. You also unrealistically chugged to much, no cyclone could handle what you just did. The cyclone was so full it lost it's ability to be a cyclone. I can work in my shop cutting wood all day with my Dust Deputy and have a clean shop vacuum at the end of the day (Providing I don't over fill the bucket).
