Would love to see a “pro” version that has the capability to add a 2-stage separator & 5-gal bucket on the top. That would be a cool add on.

Hear, hear!

Consider adding a vertical shelf for a bucket and a Dust Deputy or similar. I’ve added a Dust Deputy to both shop vacs in my garage and they help greatly with saving filters. On the Porter Gable vac I bolted the bucket to the top and it is more convenient than the Rigid with the bucket bolted to the side of the vac. Much less floor space. Thanks for the great videos!

I love it. I’d buy one in a heart beat, maybe even two. One for the shop vac and one for my small air compressor

Make another slightly smaller version and attach the two carts to form one cart. One side is shop vac, the other side for a small 3 or 6 gallon pancake air compressor. Add a power bar and the two are plugged in -- just add that mystery electricity stuff to the power bar. Viola! Two in One !!

I've been using CNC on wood products for ten years, and have always heard people say the muscle chuck had way too much runout to be useful. I'm glad no one told you! Nice to see someone actually use a product rather than simply express their "expert" opinion. You made me reconsider it.

Even though you say it needs tweaking, it's a knockout design and idea, mate👍

I really like where it’s going. Looking forward to seeing this project evolve. I could use a couple at work and one for my home shop.

Excellent concept! One thing I implemented on my shop vac setup is an off-the-shelf remote power switch. I keep the fob near the tools so remember to have it on hand, though I am considering creating a sleeve to mount it near the end. It comes in handy when you are 20' away from the unit and need to pause to move something or talk to someone. It's cheap and super-convenient.

I love the concept of this and can’t wait till it’s available to purchase! I think it would go good in my little shop right on Izzy 👊🏽

Sweet Thank you for the feed back

Man you have come so far since i started following you, keep on sharing, being able to utilize a material and a set of skills totally away from the norm is what this world needs.

Heavy duty kudo's !!! Why hasn't something like this existed before? Great job Izzy !!!

Great video Izzy. The design process is something we really don’t get to see up close these days. With everything handmade, our grandfathers and great-grandfathers were much closer to the design process. My father was a boat builder...45-55’ wood. I remember hundreds of hours of head scratching “design” time as the boats were fitted out. Pretty much everything was custom, one-off work. Designing to those constraints was pretty much the same process except that we didn’t have the luxury of going through several iterations. Add to that, CAD was a inconceivable dream in the future to say nothing of CNC. Once again, thanks for a great video.

Cool to see after listening to you guys talk about it over the past couple of weeks on the podcast. I think I will get one soon.

Well the casters on my orange shopvac (TM) are broken and all of the attachments have grown legs but I was thinking of something like this. Nice !

i do enjoy listening to you, watching your video's, and you sharing the things you have done with you and your family,

What a great job you do Izzy!

Amazing! I, too, have always been infuriated by shop vacs. This is brilliant, and very very smart.

Shop Vac companies, add a Thien baffle to your vac, too. That would put you way ahead of the competition.

Izzy, Been watching you for a few years now and I love this with one exception - currently I have my shop vac in a 3/4 ply box to keep it from screaming at me. It works very well - recommend you have a design to include this option/feature (the top could hold a dust separator). Just typing out loud at ya. Thanks for all the great vids!

My thoughts exactly!!! Please develop a shop vac cart to minimize noise, with room for a separator! Please!

Can’t wait for it to be available! 👊🏻

I think your overall idea is awesome. Curious to see the product line.

Ikea watch out, here comes Issy. That a great cart. When I upgrade my shop vac. I'm going get one. Great job.

Nice to see another vid from you. Hope you’re keeping healthy.

This certainly is a nice project! I would want 8 to 10 inch wheels under the hose reel for those bumpy job sites and I agree with those that are suggesting a dust separator. Keep up the good work Izzy!!

Yes!!!! it's about time someone done this!!!

My rigid shop vac from Home Depot has designated places on the base to hold attachments. But your idea is cool, innovative and sleek looking.

Nice work. Necessity is the mother of invention.

Excellent ideas Izzy. I'll buy one!

Great concept my friend. A ‘seller’ 👍👍

Thanks for the peek inside your process.

Bro!... You never cease to amaze me man!!!! Love the idea. Maybe consider adding a coil or something for the extension cord....? Great job brotha👍👍👍👍👍

Bravo! Well done, necessary for my shop!

Show....sempre acompanho seus vídeos

Izzy....I love the concept and design (with the changes you noted in the video). I do have one suggestion, though: MOST folks that subscribe to your channel will be perfectly capable of adding glue and screws. Adhering to the 'Lowest Common Denominator' approach for beginners (and, frankly, for people who always seem to be itching to find something to complain about!), you may want to consider pre-drilling where screws are indicated, and adding a bag of screws, casters....and maybe even a little sample size bottle of glue (maybe work something out with Tite-Bond, or someone like that). It might at least stop some people from using (and overtightening) fine-thread screws, among other potential 'beginner' problems. Personally, I'd buy at least one, either way!! Nicely done...and a great solution to a perennial problem!! :-)

Great idea👍👍👍. Thank for showing the Muscle chuck. I had a 1/2 inch by 2 inch straight cut bit fly right passed my face recently. Turns out the collet cracked and let go of the bit Scary.

Izzy, nice and good thinking. I would like the addition of a place for a wind tunnel and 5 gl bucket.

Pretty interesting concept, man! Great job! 😃

Great idea Izzy... I've actually been able to use it at Izzy's shop and it is a huge improvement. This is from a guy who loves to vacuum. I know it's weird...

I love it! Go, Izzy! Go!

If this came in a configuration to accommodate a dust deputy I'd be throwing money at you lol well done.

I'd be quicker to pull the trigger on a unit that had some kind of accommodation for a Dust Deputy type cyclone add on. As it is, I'm considering how to add that myself.

There's a project on lumberjocks like you're talking about. It's stacked, for floor space. lumberjocks dot com/projects/32119 (I had saved it 'cuz I'm planning on doing something like it too!) After watching this video, I'm thinking something like Izzy's version could be done with the one in the link.

what a great idea, I like how you share the process with us. because "Why not?"

I’m impressed, you’re a smart dude.

I really need one of these!

very good my friend Izzy

Great idea guys

Really cool Izzy! 👍🏻👊🏻

What a dramatic start. LOL. You could go into acting with your video style. Love your site.

Nice design. I’m always curious to see how things like this will sell to a bunch of maker type of people. All the best.

Good idea, hope it pans out. Thanks for the video.

A second model that will hold a dust deputy/bucket?

@Danman1972

I was just coming down here in the comments to suggest that. I have been kicking around making a cart for a separator and a older vac I have hanging out. The addition of cord storage and a cord reel is great! I had not though of the cord reel on it. The cart would allow me to tuck under a shelf I have in the garage. I would also suggest using locking castors if your driveway (like mine) is sloped. I use it to take care of the cars as well as things around the house. Having it with biggers castors would help getting it over threshholds and such as well.

Great job,man....

Cool design as always. I think some slots in the uprights for straps or bungees to secure the shop vac might be nice.

Very cool. Can't wait

While it may need a little tweaking, that cart is nicely designed Izzy!

Creativity.. Amazing

Great idea. Well performed. A handle for the hose reel might be a plus. Also, the cart tips over when the vacuum is not on it. That doesn't look nice. Maybe it's better to enlarge the base part. For the rest it is a good product which will surely find its way to the costumers. I didn't look up how much the whole thing is going to cost. I have a price in mind, which I would be willing to pay (which is not representable for Americans) Thanks for sharing your idea and good luck with the sales. .

Great video!

Great idea! I find shop vacs to be a pain in the ass too. One of the biggest issues for me is that the exhaust is inline with the suction, so i end up blowing the dust that i'm trying to pick up all over the place. Maybe all i need is some pvc to redirect the exhaust upward. Anyway great video!

You are genius! I like you bro!

Head up on the muscle chuck. I ordered one with the three size collets a few weeks ago. They only had the 3/8” collet in stock. The 1/4” and 1/8” is out of stock for 60 days.

I like the concept, but as soon as you take the shopvac off the cart it falls over backwards and spills all your fittings on the floor. You can see that he always had a hand on the unit preventing it from falling over and that was without house or fittings. Maybe you could take the base out a little more towards the backside?

Great idea, possibly use PVC tubes to come around the side of vacuum so no twist in hose. Any news when Andrew will start selling his vise?

Great idea.

the only thing that keeps the idea from being 100% perfection you already mentioned and that was the hose going from the vac to the hose section. I made sure that mine fit perfectly by waiting until everything else was ready and I could place the cac on to the cart and make the hole across and I used a 2 inch PVC pipe to go straight to the hose's section.

So awesome! So needed!! Can you make a version that also holds a separator as I find one essential when using the shop vac around the wood shop. If you do I’m buying!!

Cool experiment. I like it. Something from the "Missing Swan" workshop perhaps? Maybe the "Izzy Digit" workshop?

Good job like it

I like it Izzy simply because it is easy to put together. Truthfully, I like the vac cart April Wilkerson threw together, overall it seems to be a bit dual purpose. I can put a small belt sander on top and the shop vac is right below. What I would like to buy is a flip top that I can use as a router table and flip over there is my harbor freight electric planer as a jointer. The sides of the flip top fold out and form my extension wings for the router and the planer. To expound on one of your previous projects, these flip tops allow the router and planer to be used vertically and horizontally. Whaddyasay Iz? Doable?

I am interested in buying one of these!

Looks good , but I'd make 2 versions - 1 as is for those that have ROUND Shop Vacs , AND a SQUARE/OBLONG BASE for those with the green/grey machines ;) , and do try to make a version for shipping to europe , or at least sell the plans so we on this side of the pond can make a version of choice. Just my 3 ct worth ;)

Great Idea

Hey Izzy this is an AWSOME idea .....one thing to maybe think about is that lightweight shop vacs/smaller shop vacs might not be able to balance the weight of hose wheel.....so just an idea extend the base under the hose wheel or maybe position the hose wheel next to/under or above the shop vac but just some ideas...... ALSO KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE VIDEOS KEEP THEM COMING

Super cool. Now do a cyclone separator add on that’s not a fortune.

Love the idea...Can I request one that has the 5 gal bucket and a cyclone lid. My saw dust clogs the vac filter in about 5 minutes, so the cyclone catch system is a must, and it never moves with the vac, always a pain.

Would you ever consider making a tutorial for getting 3D models from SketchUp to the CNC? I know there's already loads out there. Still, you're incredibly easy to listen to, so it's far more likely I'd retain the information. I'm starting to build my own CNC, but still don't know how I'm going to transfer the data... Definitely putting that cart way in front of the horse.

Great idea izzy how about making the reel spring loaded so it can retract the hose? Biggest thing i dont like about shop vacs isnt the hoses its the emptying of them. Having to unhook everything and disconnect the power to get the wife walk outside with a tub full of dust. Shame you cant think of a way to empty itself too as my wife would be forever thankful :)

The CNC would be just the ticket to pilot all the screw holes (if not already in the pattern). Good project! Now to scare up some scrap shop plywood... ;)

hi Izzy, what about turning the spool 90 degrees and mounting it below or above the vac to reduce the foot print and to make the whole thing more stable. otherwise a great build.

Nice idea, I hate the unwieldy hoses I have

The Buckethead. It fits any 5gal bucket and the hose fits my B&D sander and my Ryobi jigsaw.

Add a handle to the reel to help whind it up

Nice job Izzy.. How about the reel on top in an horizontal position?

I'd give this 1000 thumbs up if I could. SHOPVAC manufacturers listen up here!!!

If a person uses one of the 5 gallon bucket dust collectors upstream from the vacuum, how would you modify this design to accommodate the bucket and dust collector? Otherwise, great job! Look forward to your videos.

Nice work!!! maybe add a cyclone separetor could be a good idea ??

cookie cutter flip tool stands would be awesome

I can see you're designing it for multiple types of vacuum cleaners but you could have the vacuum cleaner on a lazy susan the disc at the bottom and then extend it up to another platform so the vacuum cleaner sits in a circular disc the circular disc will hold the hose you can pull the hose and it rotates the vacuum cleaner more compact may be better for storage.

Good job. I would use the shop vac more !

Limited tools video would be nice

Would it be worth extending the base to sit under the hose reel to prevent any chance of any backward tipping if the hose is not pulled off the reel in a straight line. A brilliant concept I'd have been proud to come up with.

For your proto I would suggest a short leg under the hose real so if you take the shop vac off it does not fall over.

To save on product weight and material costs you can cut the smaller parts out of the base under the vacuum, the back board or the hose reel discs. Add a few extra cut outs to "hide" the fact that you took the small parts out of the larger parts. Maybe if the hose reel could be horizontally on top or under the vacuum to cut down on the overall footprint and reposition the center of gravity.
