Good stuff! Seems to me you are sacrificing safety for dust collection. IMO, keep both hands on the piece for full control and worry about the clean up later.

I used a aluminum 35 gal can, and put loops, attached to the can sides, and use those to put bungee straps to hold on the lid. Also you might do better if you put some silicon around the base of the Braun, to seal it to the mdf better. I power mine with a 1.5 gallon small shopvac, and it works like a champ.

I have very little patience for self absorbed performers. He spends time telling us what he is going to do. Then he tells us AGAIN while he's doing it. He tells us about why he doesn't have a tool handy, which I don't care about. And more time showing us how to sand everything to infinity with a power tool. And all this for an extremely simple homemade tool. Thumbs DOWN. Bye.

Always use a side handle with a hole saw.

The sound is hurting my ears.

thank you sir. subscribed.

Most annoying music l have ever heard on a KZfaq video. Great clamps though. Cheers

6:10 I thought I was the only one 😂😂😂 I’m glad that there’s more people that find it amusing

Dust collection is on my list too!! I’m glad you got yours hooked up!!

You have a chip collector! It is a dust distributor. The best thing for your health is to put it outside. Please for your health be aware it just puts fine dust into the air for you to breath.

Bought one and returned it a week later. Sometimes HF has hidden gems. Their dust collection systems unfortunately fall short.

One important thing to note, is that you still have to use a dust mask when using the harbor freight dust collector. It doesn’t have a good enough filter to prevent the really dangerous particles from still being in the air, and it will actually possibly make the small dust issue worse.

I bought one on sale; it’s hard to argue with $199 so I bought it. Complaints: 1. Two bolts are too short to attach the metal top filter’s support pole. 2. One motor mount bolt was missing. 3. One welded on nut on the bottom of the base easily stripped out. I spent $15 to buy the missing and incorrect (metric) bolts. 4. It’s pretty loud. 5. Not sure where to buy replacement bottom bags. 6. Assembly directions are really poor. I.e. which bolts at which length go where to minimize trial and error. But if you’re mechanically inclined it’s doable. I’ll probably continue using my Festool dust extractor for my smaller tools. Adding a cyclone before the collector is a good idea if your volume of sawdust is significant. I’ll consider that later. But, it was fixed and is useful.

Yes the music did it for me , I couldn’t watch it to the end sorry

Two videos in a row! Looks like KZfaq is finally starting to give me notifications for your channel. Hell, they even had this video in my recommended videos. I was like “That guy looks like RB. Oh, wait!”

I’ve been looking at getting this one myself. How was the noise level to you? Hard to judge just by the audio. In the video?

First item out of the van... a case of Dew. You can always swap the plastic bag on the bottom of the collector with a reusable fabric one. I would caution using the dust collector to sweep up the floor. It is very easy to suck up concrete aggregate, small stones, nails, staples, etc. that can cause a spark as it passes over the steel impeller blades of the vacuum pump and possibly ignite the fine dust. That risk is less with a shop vac as the air is filtered before it goes the blower and the impeller blades are plastic.

I love it son.

Yea it turned out great! I wish I had thought of the blue tape! I was stuck with whatever they had at the UPS store lol

My comment wasn’t intended for this video. The video was , Super accurate corner jig. Maybe check it out and let me know if you agree with my assessment.

Hey! I actually got a notification for this video! Nice looking piece.

Haha! That looks suspiciously like the box I sent to @mighty sawdust with his play button in. Blue tape and all! Haha.

Two minutes to build if you work 1 hundred miles an hour and then no example of how to use jig😖

Thanks for sharing that.

I would check out the CNC build video!

I’m curious to see what you come up with for the track saw and dust collection. Dust collection is something I need to improve as well.

Thanks for the vieo....but that music in the background is nerve wracking and so loud that it makes it difficult to understand your words for those of us with hearing issues.

I really enjoyed watching this journey! I could feel the enthusiasm oozing directly from the wood. You all rock! Great idea doing this Secret Elf Workshop exchange heh heh!

I love cedar! The beauty of the wood, the smell, it’s awesome! Great job on your build!

I just love my play button! You did an awesome job with it. The grain on the cedar is beautiful! It will be in the background of all my future videos! Thank you! 👍

I love the smell and look of cedar! Nice work. Hopefully, your Play Button shows up soon.

Nice job

This is such a great idea saw this secret Santa via Dad Cave and love to support!! I love woodworking and hope to have my own shop running again soon!!

Awesome build!!!! Way to go. Love the design. Awesome laser work.

all have a exter cookie !
