    Dude. You're my hero. You've shown me a practical way to make adapters so I don't have to waste time shopping for them, especially when they probably don't even exist!
  • @chaseums0967
    This just opened my eyes to a whole new world of very easy, effective, time-and-money-saving possibilities. You are a gentleman and a scholar.
  • @clutions
    Just came back here to see what you were like at first. Like a fine wine, your channel has truly matured! P.S. --- Have friends of mine raving over your flip-top cart and building it (with my mods of course)!!!

    When I grow up...ok, IF I grow up, I want to be smart like you Drew! Well done man, so simple and cost effective. Going to head to the shop to play with some PVC now...

    Thanks Drew. Finally getting to some stationary dust collection and these are exactly the solutions I need. Once again, thank you so much for the time and effort you put into creating your content, outstanding job on this one; easy, not overenginered and efficient for sure. Thanks again. God Bless.

    Thank you, been searching ebay for 2 days, scrutinizing every dust reducer, but every one of my tools requires a different size. I have lots of craftsman, yet none of them have the same port size. I have 9 gallon craftsman shop vacs, so tired of my duct tape ugly ass connections that eventually fall apart or collapse. You sir are a genius! Thanks!!!!!
  • @dannyh.7490
    I've done this before with the gray plastic electrical conduit , but haven't thought about doing it for dust collection. Thanks for jogging my memory !
  • @terryevans6625
    Awesome Idea! I'm in the process of adapting 1-1/2" hose to my tools and this fits the bill perfectly. Thanks for sharing!!!
  • For making the flange, I was expecting you to take the hot floppy tube and manually bend the hot end out to make a flange. The way you actually did it, and the fact that it worked, was a pleasant surprise. Thanks for the demonstration.
  • @fxp2741
    I've made adapters out of all kinds of stuff, never thought to use PVC. Thanks for the idea, and the excellent how-to video.
  • @billdiehl156
    That was a great idea!! It seems like I only have a couple of tools that have the same size dust port. Now I'll be able to collect dust from EVERY tool that spews sawdust!
  • @joepineiro497
    I’ve been trying to come up with an idea for all my tools and the vacuum for a month now I’ve been racking my brain. I’m so glad I’ve seen your video what a great idea so simple yet genius! Keep up the great work thanks.
  • I have many uses for these made-up adapters for my house shop vacuum. Thanks for the idea and inspiration.
  • @joehunter692
    What a fantastic idea. It opened up a lot of possibilities in my shop. Thanks for posting this video
  • @9700am
    Excellent video. I have been dicking around trying to get several different size ports to take my shop vac hoses. Massive thanks to you from the 🇬🇧
  • @artlandry233
    I did not think this would work but I tried in the construction of my Dustless vacuum and it worked fantastic!! Thank you for such a great tip!!
  • @billybike57
    Great ideas for making these reducers. I'm making mine soon, thanks!
  • @rfehr613
    Great idea. I've been going crazy trying to find adapters for my shop vac (they don't exist!). Gonna try this now!
  • @philackerly3174
    Thank You. Just what I need for my tools. I’ve got the same craftsman sander and couldn’t find adapter for my rigid vac.
  • @ckeller07
    Great idea. I will be making a couple this weekend. Thanks for sharing
