- I build a Shop Vac Boom Arm to put some of what I've learned from CZcams makers into practice. The Boom Arm allows me to lift my shop vac's hose off the floor and run it overhead.

I have to say, your learning and willingness to laugh at yourself is refreshing. I have been wood working for over 35 years and it is great to see people stepping out and learning trying experimenting. Well done keep it up
Loved how you admit your mistakes and just move on..We've ALL done that..!!!
I actually learned something! And I love your corona-cut. ✂︎
Love to see you put in all your mistakes in your video's. Mistakes EVERYONE makes from time to time
Hi Fed, Very nice video and great "Learning Curve Reminder". You point out some of the exact things that I go through on a project (Mistakes, Corrections, Lessons Learned). It's encouraging to see that in "real life" all of our projects don't go as smooth and perfect as the ones we see in the CZcams videos. Keep on Making, Keep on Learning. Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate that you didn’t cut out your mistakes from the video. It makes me feel more normal since I make lots of mistakes. Cool build. Nice job!!
Just came across this because I'm thinking of building something similar for my workshop. Making mistakes is all part of the process as I'm sure you know. We all do it.
Definitely. You're not learning unless you're making mistakes!
Well done, it is reassuring to know I am not alone in making the "occasional" mistake 🤣, thank you for your bravery in sharing.
Great to see your trials and tribulations. You’re a brave man. Carry on regardless
That's the plan! Keep on keeping' on. 😀
I just found your video. I appreciate the real-world real-dude non-pro and accessible share of your make AND MISTAKES.. Immediately felt not intimidated. In contrast the silent videos and highest level of pro-perfect technique and editing that I watch is JSK-koubou.... wow do I feel in awe and totally will never get to that zen technique when watching the Japanese master maker. I could collaborate with YOU due to your tru-to-life tutorial. Thanks F.
Thank you Raja! I love watching those zen videos, and get a lot of good ideas from them, but need to try it myself. One of the things that amazes me about JSK-koubou is how there's never any dust anywhere! 😄
Everyone starts somewhere. I think you did great. You'll learn more from mistakes than being told. Just gotta get there without loosing any fingers or your life. I have to say you extension arm was a great idea and your solution for keeping it from pulling out was simple and solid.. Only thing I would suggest is that you put both mounting bolts in from the top. Obviously not a big deal here. But reason being if the bolt should fail, it won't' fall out. Well done sir.
Thank you for the great idea about the bolts!
Nice approach either of your video concept and your build. Finally I have found something for my hose problem at my shop.
Let me encourage you airing more of such videos. Plenty of the maker guys out there are telling us, what to do and how to do. But they never show what happens in real life once a newbie tries to apply the youtube wisdom. You mastered both in a most entertaining way.
AND: I like your style 💇🏻♂️
Keep on rocking!
Thank you!
Fantastic Fed! You're a great Da Vinci-like cuts and curve man!
I Fed woodworking making it’s all a lifelong process and we continually learn new processes I’m 63 now and I’ve been doing stuff with my hands since I was in junior high school and I’m still learning so keep up the good work I want suggestion the internets great books are better and since you don’t know how to use a router yet my first suggestion for you would be router basics by a man named Patrick Spielman he’s passed away now that there are several other router books by him that are a wealth of knowledge good luck with your ventures in to be in a maker And have lots of fun
Next time when making relief cuts in a piece of wood in-order to create a radius... Use the thinner kerf blade in your skill saw in place of the 10" table saw blade... Yes you can swap them out as long as your arbor matches
You made my morning Sir. Good idea on the boom arm.
Stay Safe!

Great video and nice build. BTW if anyone would rather skip the kerf cuts, you can get a sheet of radius bending plywood that's easier to work with
Good idea. If you can't find the bendy plywood, you might be able to substitute other flexible materials. I once did a curve with a plastic sheet.
I thought I was watching Saturday Night Live
Great video and process. You are the perfect example of the passionate Woodworker. Never give up. Excellent advise on learn the proper way of using your tool before you use it and you will Da Vinci 2.0. Thanks for sharing.... 👍
That is a really cool shop vac button!
Un gusto volver a verte!
Body filler on those kerf cuts and some hand sanding will work wonders for appearance!
You're alright. Thanks for putting yourself out there....
Great job and great learning experience. I'm a fairly experienced woodworker, so I'll mention one thing: The difference between beginner and pro woodworkers is that the pros are better at fixing their mistakes. As you learn, you'll make more sophisticated mistakes, or, if you're like me, you'll continue to make dumb ones. I think I'm going to build a hose boom like yours, it's a great idea.
That's great insight! Thank you!
Funniest and most honest video Ive watched on CZcams. Ever. Good on ya mate. You'll get there
Thank you!
Very nice video Fed, thank you, love the fact you show your errors, if I filmed mine I'd need a beep button! Also, love the sound effects. Cleats are great for stuff that you want to move about the shop, but if its staying put they are a bit redundant, you could lock the cleats to resolve the tip problem but for this application direct fixing is the way to go
Awesome!
Every mistake you make only makes you better. I've taken up wood woodworking since lockdown 1. CZcams has been invaluable for me and your video has given me ideas for my boom. Keep it up 👍subbed
Thank you!
you could have put a tight fitting piece of plywood in between the upper wall mounted french cleat and the lower, hinge mounted one, thus locking it in place.
these locks often don't get mentioned or are not necessary for e.g. a small shelf holding a bunch of screwdrivers
I never knew about French cleat locks. Thank you! I'll look into them
Excellent idea on the boom arm, but Barney Fife for sure.
Thank you! This was one of my first projects ever -- and it shows. My goal is to keep the (hopefully) excellent ideas coming, while getting better.
Fede, un gusto encontrarte de nuevo. Lindo tallercito. Y el corte de pelo no digamos... ;-) Espero que estén todos bien de salud por ahí.
blew my mind @9:56.
Bueno, bueno, bueno... lo más entretenido (y divertido) que he visto en mucho tiempo. Y eso que yo tengo visto internet entero ya dos veces. Suscrito, con la campanita activada y esperando con ganas el siguiente vídeo!!!
I'm building mine yesterday and today, it's a little different than yours but I used your design mostly. Thanks for the great idea.
Awesome! Thank you!
Your 1st go at kerf cutting was prettier than my 1st drywall bending experience!
Oh yeah...where did you get your safety glasses? (what brand?)
btw - careful with straight/flush bits with a trim router, I lost control once and my Dewalt 20v flew out of my hand, over my head, and on the floor. 2 hand base is on my list.
Great video! Thank you for making and sharing
Love your candidness! Awesome video!
Thank you!
Oh nice! Looks great!
Thanks!
Love your product
Haz un video de tus herramientas y porque escogiste esas precisamente.
Love your work buddy
Buen vídeo Fede. Ya tienes un suscriptor más. No sabía que le dabas también y tan bien a la carpintería. Un placer verte !!!!. ¿Veremos vídeos en Español?...anímate que eres todo un crack!. Un abrazo desde Barcelona, España!!!
Gracias Valentin! No se si voy a grabar videos en Español. Veremos... :-D
Please make a follow-up video with how you connect all your tools to the hoses. Your dust-collection game is great, I just don't understand how you get everything to fit together. Maybe some affiliate links to the hoses and connectors too.
Good idea! I'll put that on my video todo list. The short answer is I used a combination of 3D printed parts and store-bought hoses and adapters.
Hello I enjoyed the video. I have boom are I made before I found your video I wanted to see how you made yours. I love mine it works great for sanding and general clean up.
Glad you enjoyed the video!
screws go in to the glued wood just like your nails did, i.e. to hold the piece while the glue dries. there's no need to use clamps and then screw.
the kerf slots should point inward, never outward. There is no structural support when they are just hanging out. It's akin to just using a 1/8th sheet of plywood at that point.
Ah, ok. Makes sense.
Muy bueno Fede pero hazlo en español también
Do a welding one.
Where did you get the long vaccum hose
Like many things I buy, I got it on Amazon. It's a "Workshop" brand 20-foot, 2 1/2" hose extension kit. Here's the link: amzn.to/3hYVPDo
Just letting you know you were using the router backwards... run the round side along the straight so that when your arm naturally twist the bit it still centered on the work.
Ah, ha! I'll keep that in mind!
Why didnt you face the kerf cuts into the curve instead of facing out??? would have looked better.
So right! I didn't think of that. Next time!
I bet if we could see one of Matthias Wandel's first videos he would make the same mistakes as you! Well, probably not on account of he's Matthias Wandel. But I really enjoyed watching this video! Look forward to seeing more.
Just remember, the only ones not messing up, are the ones doing nothing
Where is your writhing knife?
I didn't use it with the table saw sled, but only in this video. I'm still getting the process down. Since this video, I make sure to always have my riving knife in place.
Maybe watch some other makers videos on this subject before you try. I've seen at least one other where they had the same issue with the French cleais the French cleech.
Measure 0 times , cut constantly!
If you're cutting constantly you can never be wrong!
@@FedLearnsToMake cut a piece of wood at every possible length and you'll always have exactly what you need.
Feeed... Does your husband know you're using his tools ?
And dont you dare lie to me Fed !
