Making a ducted dust-collection system in my shed

Dust collection in any woodworking shop is almost a must have – unless you like wearing face masks all the time – or are happy to die prematurely.

But, maybe you can’t afford one of those 5-horsepower cyclone jobbies you see in all the best YouTubers’ videos.

If you can’t afford the best, then maybe you could make-n-do with one of the worst YouTubers on YouTube – me.

Watch as I build a semi-permanent semi-functional ducted dust-collection system in my put-away shop during last year’s COVID-19 lockdown, then tackle an upgrade during this year’s second-wave ‘forced-holiday’.

 

Make-n-Do is the CONTACT Editor’s personal ‘playlist’ on the CONTACT YouTube Channel, where the philosophy is making do with the tools and materiel I have and making and doing as an escape from the computer (though, ironically, the video editing then ties me to the computer for almost as many hours as I spent Make-n-Do in the shed in the first place  )

 

Also on the CONTACT YouTube Channel…

• Military News – hundreds of military-news videos
• The Making of CONTACT – an editor’s-eye-view of story selection, page layouts and more
• Shots from the Editor’s Desk – infotainment loosely relevant to CONTACT publishing
• Mavic Pro – non-military missions with the CONTACT drone
• Make-n-Do – shots from the editor’s shed
• Personal vlogs – grandkids, holidays, personal time – like a real YouTube vlogger
