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!

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?

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 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.

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.

Some people really do need their hand held to survive this life. Figuring things out yourself is hard...

"I randomly drilled..." ::Lays out exactly measured holes evenly spaced::

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.

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.

😅 A good project for the day/weekend. Great video. Thanks for it.

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.

The humor is just fantastic.

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.

You’ve got great comic timing man, and the boom arm is ok too!

The saw panel person isn’t angry, just grumpy from killing bad guys all night instead of sleeping.

Quick and informative. Proper dust collection is needed the next time we empty garage and build out better workshop bits.

I subbed after the last comment about what i should do with the rest of the sheet goods. Appreciate quality dry humour

put one of these in my shop a long time ago, great idea

Gotta make myself one of these. We just redid the shop and this would be the icing on the cake.

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.)

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.

Love your videos. Hope you start doing more

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.
