I recently converted my single stage dust collector into a 2-stage system using the Super Dust Deputy by Oneida. In this video I share my initial impressions and performance of the system.
I do not cover all the modifications although you see the overall setup and I give a basic price breakdown of the cost. I will cover the specifics of my conversion in the future.
If you have been thinking of getting a Super Dust Deputy to convert your single stage DC into a 2-stage system, but are on ...

With the release of my latest article in WOOD magazine on design, it prompted more requests for a video on designing and how I find inspiration.
In this video I share the lifestyle habits I have that allow me to keep finding inspiration, recording those ideas, and developing the designs. For an example, I share how I turned a Japanese torii gate into a stairwell barrier, bucking the standard design of newell posts, balusters, and handrail.
While the subject of designing can get pretty d...

Since I did the Dust Deputy Review in Episode 27, I have been getting questions and have decided to answer them publicly with a video so everyone may benefit from the answers.
In this video I show how I reinforced the 5 gallon bucket lid that I mount the Dust Deputy to.
In Episode 28 I gave information to help the woodworkers decide which shop vacuum size might be the best to use with the Dust Deputy.
Here are the last 2 videos:
Episode 27: Dust Deputy Review
Episode 28: Choosi...

??Even if you are not planning on using a Dust Deputy, you might find the information helpful in your decision to buy a shop vacuum.
If you have not seen how effective it is, check out my previous video where I r...

I bought my Dust Deputy 3 years ago and have been using it regularly since then. Many of you have probably looked at the Dust Deputy and considered purchasing the plastic cyclone with some hesitation, unsure of how it really performs.
In this video I give some good context as to how I use it, with what tools, and how I have it set up. I also open up the Dust Deputy bucket to show how much dust is inside after 3 months of use, and then I open the shop vacuum to see how much dust made it pas...

Hey everybody!
I have been very busy between working on my client’s projects, squeezing in a project for another contractor, and rebuilding my website.
As if that wasn’t enough, I decided to shoot a video to share with you what my favorite tool is for scraping off dried or semi-dried glue as I worked on one of those projects.
I am really excited to bring another video to the woodworking and DIY community, so I hope you enjoy and find it helpful.
Your friend in the shop,

I hope you find it helpful.

I just finished up the video for applying edge banding to melamine. This video follows Part 1 on how to get clean cuts in melamine, which can be quite a challenge without the right blade and techniques. Once the melamine is cut, often it will need to have edge banding applied. So I cover this topic in Part 2.
I could have made a 2 minute video that shows me applying a piece with an iron and trimming the excess, but that can leave a person with a lot of questions.
In these videos, you no...
