  1. Gotta get one of those draft blocker tubular pillow things to go along the bottom of the door. The inch and a half of gap ain't helping your sound blocking. haha

  2. Where does all the exhaust air go without creating an airlock? What about the temperature level in this cabin? I could imagine that the suction power drops significantly.

    A tip that might sound a bit crazy: transform your door into a soundproofing and ventilation element that also functions as a door! Make it 15+ inches thick and hollow – kind of like a box with door hinges. Form a "zig zag" channel inside from top to bottom with insulating material (e.g. rock wool). Allow the exhaust air to flow into the element on the inside on the left (near the filters) and out again on the right. This will significantly improve the soundproofing and prevent possible heat and performance problems.

    I used this principle in an even more consistently insulated solution and achieved a (measured with the iPhone 😉 reduction of 30 dB…

  3. you will run into problem with air volume issues in that small room, probably split the two units.

  5. If its is possible the dust extractor should be set with at least a 1min over run before it shuts down and closes the blast gate to a clear any left over dust and shavings from the ductwork and B allow the dust to to fully clear the tool.

  6. Um, yeah. Cool closet, and great sound difference, but that air HAS to go somewhere as it leaves the filters. I might suggest an irrigation pipe the same size as your largest pipe coming from the closet. You could put a few dozen holes in the length as you like so that the air can escape all along the pipe and not create an air blower at the end of the pipe.
    Closing that DC in means you have a MONSTER restriction in the flow. If I haven't convinced you, have a couple bean burritos and wear some latex pants for the rest of the day.

  7. Seeing a lot of comments but also concern about where your air pump will be discharging to…

  8. What do you do with this elaborate shop? Just buy and install stuff? ????

  9. I was going to comment on the return air, but it looks like that already got covered. If there is any mitigation there, please mention it in your next video
