- I will show you how to build what I consider the most useful shop accessory. This will change your ability to move quickly from one tool to the next and help keep your shop clean and organized. Just a beginner? Dont worry I will give you step by step instructions and measurements on how its made.
Advice from a structural engineer: if you drilled larger holes but down the centre line of the arm, you would reduce weight more and leave more material at the bottom and top (that is the material in compression and tension doing all the work). Thanks for this video!
Dan, where's the fun in knowing your construction isn't going to collapse on you mid critical cut? 🤣
Or do it plumber style and make the diameter larger than the arm.
I have a feeling the hole size was determined by his largest forstner bit. Do the holes even need to be circular? Could they be triangular, like you might see in a truss?
But would it be as "purty" :) Thanks for the solid advice.
judging by every crane, yes.
The angry store associate 😂 Good job on the video!
I must be lucky. My local big box often has Uni students working the panel saw and they're great. I've chatted with a few and they loved getting on the tools between assignments and lectures. I think that they'll turn out ok.
Wow! I would take an angry store associate any day. I seldom see any type of store associate. Aside from that, the panel saw at my home center has had an "out of order" sign on it since the day after the store opened. Where do you guys live?
Sadly the answer is almost always different when the store associate asks "Do you need help?" or if they ask "Can I help you?"
Thanks Matt!
I would rather shoot my own kneecaps off than try to get someone at Home Depot to help me cut something
I rushed to Home Depot as soon as I saw the video. Bought 8” zip ties and a full sheet of plywood. Still watching the video but can’t wait to build this!
Should we tell him
Sure, you need 12 inch ties... LOL
@@sztoocool oh no…tell me what?
@@WoodcraftBySuman How did those 8" zip ties work out?
@@FullRythym didn’t finish making the holes yet. My forestner bits are so dull!
Can you teach me how to dull my Forstner bit to the proper dullness level before I start this build? I want to make sure I get it right.
At least 3hrs of tumbling into a bag of rocks. Dust it off and it is as good as new.
Yes, loan it to a college workshop for a year. Make sure it's always handy and can be borrowed for inexplicable work next door in metal.
@@jasondoust4935 loan it to a college workshop for 10 minutes? 😳
Use it to drill through some 5mm steel plate.
Simple! Order a $60, sixteen piece forstner bit bit set from Amazon! They will come in a nice case, but loose in the case, and will have pre-dulled each other in transit!
"Arm-2-D2" should be the boom's star wars pun name, btw. You can have that one :) Keep up the solid vids.
Epic. Good work.
So bad... Keep up the good work. :-)
Nice 👍
Thanks Kevin!
“Randomly drilled out a bunch of holes” which were measured out and perfectly spaced. Loved it!
It’s about time you came out with another video. I’ve been stuck watching Bourbon Moth and Blacktail Studio.
🤣🤣🤣 👍
I've been watching them too!
"...And let's build a straight piece of wood that we screw into the wall." Yeah, seems pretty straight forward to me. Hilarious video!
Thanks
man I've been struggling with dust collection in my small shop since I started. After seeing this video and deciding to build one of these myself, I can most definitely agree with you that this is the most useful shop accessory. Great video, thanks for doing what you do
Very cool, but with room for an improved range of motion!
I made myself a boom arm years ago and it's still working great. But I doubled up on the hinges, so four door hinges. One pair goes one direction, the other pair goes the other direction. Joined together around a 2x2 near the wall. Doing this lets the arm swing both directions. And I lied about it being on the wall, it's mounted in the center of my garage on the garage door opener mounts (hanging down just below the opener) - and I get almost a full 360 degrees of coverage. I also put a 4' fluorescent light fixture on the bottom so I have better light under the boom wherever I want. Full disclosure: I only use my boom for power and light, and holding spring clamps - no vacuum. But that's for version 2.
Throw in a third set of hinges in the middle of the boom and you can have the boom end point any place between full-length and "no"-length by doubling back upon itself, or anywhere in between.
Putting a light on it seems like a good idea, thanks!
Internet always wants the details and you have given us what we want. Take my thumb in the up position for your service.
I'm in the middle of revamping my workshop and one of the issues I'm dealing with is better dust control. I will be building this for sure..so simple yet will be super useful. love your bids, keep up the good work
Why is it that all Home Depot/Lowes employees are so cranky when you ask them to use the panel saw? Seems like it would be the coolest thing you would be allowed to do there. Besides driving the forklift.
Must be a worldwide epidemic cause they have the same attitude here in the uk 😂
It's because you actually asked them to do work... which is not what they are there to do.
Because contrary to what it may look like, its retail. Have you ever heard anything good about working retail. Can you imagine your boss giving you a task list to complete during your shift and every time that you pick up your clipboard, someone needs help with something completely unrelated and outside your department but the person who's scheduled there is out sick. So now you're supposed to be pulling a $5k order but first need to help Nancy fine the right screw then explain to Harry, who's trying to save a buck, why you can't cut a 12 foot board in 12 one foot pieces and so on.
I'm with you, I would think it's a great excuse to not answer questions about where to find a paint brush
I worked at HD part time. I never felt like we were treated well by management (or customers) we were always understaffed because their staffing is based on profits on that day the previous year. Also you could show up, as a garden employee and be asked to cover any department in the store. Sometimes you were the only employee on the floor for two departments. I quit the day they were going to give me employee of the month. The look on the store managers face was priceless.
Dude that jump on to the outfeed table was SICK. Thanks for showing us the build with humor and wit as always. This was much needed.
You bet!
haha I love the insane value/simplicity the boom arm brings. I also very much enjoyed the comically delivered instructions - clearly noting your disappointment in the audience in not being able to tackle the build using the info noted in that last video lol priceless.
;)
Some people really do need their hand held to survive this life. Figuring things out yourself is hard...
This is a great idea. I have a pair of unused gate hinges that I think will be ideal for this application. My current solution has a shop vac with a very long hose that is suspended from a pulley with a counter-weight. It gives me plenty of coverage around my former two-car garage shop. It keeps the hose out of the way (mostly); but it's not easy to use. This looks like a much better solution.
One of the best workworking channels here, wish there were at least subtitles in normal units(metric)when giving measurements, so we the rest 95% of the world could understand it! :D
Yeah, I agree, many woodworking channels are doing it nowadays, only subtitles in metric would make a huge difference.
Saw your shop tour video and built one of these a few months ago. This thing is awesome! Best thing I've added in a long time, thank you! So much easier than dragging the vac everywhere! I built mine a little different. Framed with 2x3's and skinned with 1/4" plywood, my hose actually goes inside the arm. If I ever do another one I might actually frame it with 3/4" pine. The plywood skin makes it super rigid and it's only supporting a plastic hose and eventually maybe a power strip.
Sounds awesome!
Quickly becoming my favorite woodworking channel!
Glad to hear it!
Your videos are equal parts very informative and hilarious. Your dry, DGAF delivery is fantastic. Love your channel!
This is pure genius, total game changer for sure. I might push a couple of projects back just to build this sooner lol great job 👍👍
I made the boomarm for my workshop. Use it al the time. Best idea ever! Thank you.
I also had a dull bit but the holes look cool, so, and painted it black. Looks great, works great!!
I laughed a little too much at this. Great personality and awesome video as always. I just moved into a new home with a detached, 2-car garage so I'll be leaning on your videos for inspiration on my garage to workshop transformation journey.
Then you can use your workshop to build a new garage!
Your showmanship has polished ✨ well over the last year. An impressive and quite affordable boom! Thanks. You’re killing it,
thanks!
This is just what my garage needs! I'm going to attach a light to mine as well. Thank you!
Your videos are like a good burrito. Even when the very end is not what you expected, you're still glad you consumed the whole thing. Keep up the great work!
Lol hope youre doing well
Love it! Definitely planning on building something like this for my shop, and I have a spare Dust Deputy (knockoff) currently collecting ambient dust in the rafters above my shop.
Round-over all the things!
Thanks dude good to hear from you
You have a great sense of humor. Loved it. Cheers.
Great video! I can't wait to make one. People are sleeping on your channel. Such great content!
I was just tripping on my damn hose yesterday! I think I need that boom arm, and now that you've explained all the complicated angles and mitres, I really don't have any excuses. Plus I already have a large container of various zip ties lengths, so there's a savings!
Liked the idea so much I built one for myself. I made my arm telescoping so it reached centre of garage as well as work bench. Very convenient for cleanup instead of wrestling hose.
Best idea for my small shop I have seen in a while. Thanks!
I was waiting for John Lee Hooker! But seriously, thanks man, I'm going to build one of these for my new (old) dust extraction that I recently acquired. It's such an obviously useful addition to the home workshop. I'm gonna paint mine in some leftover house paint I have lying around. It won't mind!
Wow!You always have great information to share with woodworkers!Thank you!
"Let's build a straight piece of wood" This channel is a passive aggressive slaughterhouse. I love it.
lol thanks
"I randomly drilled..." ::Lays out exactly measured holes evenly spaced::
After watching this video and passing out in a puddle of water from crying laughing I thought that this video was insanely funny. BRAVO! You deserve a OSCAR! Also whatever hardware store everyone went to get the plywood sheet probably thanks you for boosting their business. lol. Honestly, great video for those who complained!!!
“Kinda Funny”? Talk about underselling. Found my new favorite. Thanks for informative and hilarious videos.
Upgraded some dust collection in my small shop but more importantly I built the BOOM arm so it could reach everywhere. You’re brilliant and love the channel.
Was gonna install a 20 amp outlet on the ceiling over my bench by running conduit up my 10ft wall then buy an $80 cord reel to mount up there so I had power over my bench. This idea saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of time! Thank you!
Just getting into woodworking. Thanks for the great videos and really helpful tips. This boom arm is a wonderful idea. I will be making one this weekend!
awesome - its a great addition
Thank you so much for this elaborate tutorial on how to make this boom arm. Loved the 11inch zip correction lol😂Got em!!
LOVE the humor. great videos!
Great video- that boom arm is a great idea and well executed.
Very cool! Definitely building one for my shop. Entertaining video!
You’ve got great comic timing man, and the boom arm is ok too!
Fantastic video, I like the extra humor as well. You really present a professional and educational video series. Thanks
Normally I like to complicate an easy build. But I was in a rush and knew this video was out there. So I busted this out real quick. Just hung it and it’s fantastic. But my triangle was 11.25” because that’s the scrap i had. So only some credit to you. Thanks!
Thanks for doing this video! Rockler had that hose and attachments on sale.
I subbed after the last comment about what i should do with the rest of the sheet goods. Appreciate quality dry humour
This is the second video I've watched after the recent 100k subscriber video. This is a Master class on useful information and humor. Thank you for being transparent.
Thank you!
This dudes awesome! I'm loving these videos!!!
Really nice design and build. And great tips on the construction. My bench is in the center of the shop with dust collection underneath. I built my boom from scrap aluminum channel and attached to a ceiling beam using doubled up hinges. Counterweights to balance it out. It swings through 340 degrees so reaches all my dust makers. Functional, but not as handsome a design as yours.
this channel is the straight FIRRRRRRREEEE. love you, lincoln st woodworking guy, you're awesome
I'm inspired to make one like this. thanks for putting it out there.
Love it!!!!!! Great job. I will be building this mo-Fo this weekend. 👍🏽
And you know… some may not, but appreciate the SassyHumor. It’s partly why I subscribed. 😉
Everyone needs a friend like James! Epic.
Dude! I just stumbled upon your videos. Let me say, it’s nice to see someone with my same sense of humor and dry enthusiasm in woodworking! Lol. Great content man! Keep it up, I’m thoroughly enjoying your content!
Your videos are greatly helping my self esteem.
Great idea 💡 thank you for explaining everything 👍
Great idea! Thanks for posting.
Hilariously good video. On the winter build list. Thanks
Thank you!
When I first saw your boom arm, I thought it was crazy. After dragging around my dust collecting build in the shop for the past year, I am done with it. Putting my dust collection setup in one place and leveraging a boom arm is ideal.
welcome to the boom boom army - you will love it here
Love the parts about angry HD workers for cutting down the sheet, they always hate that lol. Great video, quick and to the point!
Gotta make myself one of these. We just redid the shop and this would be the icing on the cake.
Good idea. Good video. Made me chuckle. Thanks!
😅 A good project for the day/weekend. Great video. Thanks for it.
Quick and informative. Proper dust collection is needed the next time we empty garage and build out better workshop bits.
I’m enjoying the comments section much more than the video. Very few people picked up on the sarcastic tone aimed at making fun of their complete lack of creativity.
love the style, and super useful, thank you, subscribed
Thanks for this!!! You the man!
helpful and good design and execution - thanks!
This one cracked me up. As a complete beginner, I love your channel!
Thank Ryan
I absolutely love the Bob Ross insert.
Once I eventually clear all the crap out of my garage I’ll definitely be building one of these! Getting tired of cleaning dust off everything and sneezing 6 times after each time I’m working in the shop.
super smart idea. I do a similar kind of thing with a/v and power cables, primarily for audio production in my garage. this example will definitely help my v2.0 and beyond. (I do a bit of "woodworking" in the form of screwing with guitars and doing setups, so a vacuum system would be wise over my bench for metal dust and fumes when wiring etc.)
Love the sarcasm, bro. Keep it up. Channels great, btw!!! Watched all your videos already!
put one of these in my shop a long time ago, great idea
@1:06 LOL. It's more funny because it's true! I've abandoned carts full of ply/lumber after waiting too long. At @4:12 your video editing skills are mad good. Because we all *know* there were needless brads that were shot - cuz it's just fun. And thanks for the tip on Rockler extension. I tried so many different OD/ID combination that I lost track of what I bought and for what. I *LOVE* the ReelWorks extension cord so I'll get off my lazy butt and make a boom arm for the hose. I just got a SawStop (love it sooooo much) so it's time. And finally at the end, @6:17 you're pointing to your tablesaw sled as you said "can't help you, that's up to you" you're a genius and you don't even know it 😂
On several occasions I’ve brought a circular saw to break down panels in the parking lot (to fit them in my car). Probably the best reason to own a cordless circ saw for the average wood worker. I suppose if you don’t have a cordless circ saw, you could bring your regular circ saw, 100-feet of extension cord, and a six pack of beer for the security guard.
@@MarcosElMalo2 Yes, I now take some foam insulation boards, my circ and tracksaw and go to town in far corners of the parking lot. In two instances, someone asked "hey what's that saw you're using?" So I may even added to their sales! :)
Agree. Great video, content, humor, audio, video, lighting, and b-roll. You're going to make it big!
The humor is just fantastic.
Awesome video nice setup and thanks for the laugh. 👌
I had to laugh at your hop onto the table, wearing flip-flops!
I thought that was MY signature move!
Jokes on you! My local store's Panel saw is ALWAYS broken. No angry associate making sloppy cuts for me!
Love your videos. Hope you start doing more
Love the style keep swinging that thing talking about the boom arm
Love the humor, bro. Great content too. If I could subscribe twice I would!
Is it just me or is there a little bitterness about having to do this project over again? Love it.
;)
I love that Dryyyyy Humor. It complements the Boom Arm very well.
Rad video, Thanks for making this project.....again.
I'm impressed you worked in Vengaboys, upvoted and subscribed on that alone.
So my phone decided it was going to play the opening add then take forever to load the actual video. So I thought you were hilariously just staring at the camera for 10 seconds before I realized what was going on. Love that you made content as a sarcastic response to comments!
ha thats great!
Great video! I need to build this!
LOL. Nice. I’m seriously pondering my plan on what I was going to do for my vacuum situation. 🤔. I don’t know if the boom arm will work in my shop, because of the garage door opener. 🤔. But, you’ve got me thinking now. 👍. Thanks n keep up the good work.
Love it. Thanks!
EFF NO we don't do project cuts!!! Well, I did; sometimes...it depended on how I felt that day and how cute you were. Cool video love your sense of humor!
Nice work man! Really great video
“Just over 63.25” 😂😂😂 haha. We used to have other Cubs on our framing crews who would say 2 lines after the half inch mark haha
The "very dull forstner bit" really got me 😂
Its the dullest
Nice job. I think I might update my shonky version that's held together with string. I've got a narrow long garage so a joint in the middle would make this even better.
Shop Nation recommended you. Like your content. Keep pumping out great videos.
Thanks for coming
