what's up I'm Jonathan and welcome to make tales where I'm sharing my maker
journey to help you go further in yours so don't forget to subscribe and hit
that little bell icon to never miss an opportunity to keep making there comes a
point in every maker channel where they have to make an air filter and it's no
different here especially as I'm doing 80% sanding and here currently so I'm
gonna try and make this as simple and as quick as possible show you how I made my
one the only thing that's different about this one
is that I wish to use a giant floor fan as here in the UK they don't really sell
box fans so using a gym floor fan I've made this thing behind me so this is how
I went about doing it
yeah it's a little bit loud but I'm gonna deal with it that's a whole hand away
so now I'll go pull you further back
let's see
that's a good meter away now
you see it does go straight in so now let's go rack that up to about a meter and a
half so this here
meter and a half
it's about the limit
still pulls but it's definitely the end of the line
and that's how I built my air filter as you see it's pretty much the same as
every other I didn't expect that the middle bit wouldn't actually blow our
air it's only around the edges of the fan I'm scared that somewhere I've
screwed up but as you can see from the examples it really does suck in air and
it clears out the entire space of dust I would say close to 45 to 80 seconds it
goes through a large volume of air very quickly which is perfect for me because
it means that if I'm working right next to it as I usually do
I'm not going to need to I be scared and I can actually not even wear a mask
right next to it as it literally pulls the dust away as long as you're about
two meters from the entrance of the fan all the links of what I've used in this
build are going to be down in the description this is going to be
exceptionally helpful for the UK folk out there because some of the parts in
this especially these filters are really annoying to find online sometimes but I
did find one good and Amazon one it is like global but it's a decent
price for the price of two filters which is a lot better than some of the single
filters that they sell here in the UK if you enjoyed watching this go and check
out how I built this space from the ground up or maybe even how I built the
workbench behind me anyway guys keep making I let the quest continue
