DESCRIPTION:
In this video, I revisit my overhead table saw dust shroud, a project I originally built years ago, to address some long-standing pain points that have bothered me in real-world use.

Using a combination of 3D printing and the Monport Reno 65w CO₂ laser, I work through multiple design iterations to reduce the shroud’s footprint, improve usability, and explore ways to better capture dust, especially during edge cuts where dust is typically thrown forward and out of reach.

This isn’t a polished final product, but an honest look at the design process: what worked, what didn’t, and what I learned along the way.

How I improved my dust collection airflow by 18%

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2026-09-07 | A few years ago, I upgraded my workshop dust collection using inexpensive MDF flanges made with my first laser. Since then, I’ve replaced the original blast gates with my automated ball-valve versions, but most of the ducting itself has remained relatively unchanged.

The system worked pretty well, but there were still a few areas where I thought it could be improved particularly the amount of flexible hose, some restrictive connections, and how difficult it was to modify the layout.

So, I designed a new range of modular, 3D-printed fittings that integrate with my existing flange system and standard PVC pipe. In this video, I break down how the system works, replace some of the more restrictive parts of my ducting, and test whether any of it actually improves the airflow.

The final result was an 18% improvement in airflow, along with a system that is much easier to modify, expand and adapt as my workshop changes.

A basic workshop project with a bigger purpose

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2026-06-29 | Sometimes the smallest workshop projects end up meaning the most.

Over the last few years I've slowly been building my workshop one project at a time.

The one thing I now know is that not every project needs to reinvent the wheel or be this incredible one of a kind thing. Sometimes it's simply about making the space a little better than it was yesterday.

In this video I build a set of workshop shelves, which on it's own is pretty dull however it's more about what these shelves represent for me, the projects that got me here, and why even the "boring" jobs deserve a place in the journey.

"Not every project has to be extraordinary. Sometimes the ordinary ones make everything else possible."

I Combined Two Brilliant Box Joint Jig Concepts Into One

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2026-06-12 | I've wanted to build a dedicated box joint jig for a long time.

While there are plenty of great box joint jigs already out there, there were two designs in particular that really inspired me. The first was @woodfather template-based system, which makes creating different finger layouts incredibly simple. The second was @matthiaswandel screw-driven advancement mechanism, which allows the work piece to be positioned quickly and accurately.

So I set out to see if I could combine those two ideas into a single jig.

The result is this box joint jig, featuring interchangeable templates, a screw-driven advancement system, and a digital readout for precise positioning—all while using a standard saw blade.

In this video I'll show you how I built it, how it works, and some of the design decisions that shaped the final result.

A huge thank you to both Mario and Mattias for the inspiration behind this project.

DIY Omnidirectional Mobile Base for my bandsaw (Under $50)

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2026-04-26 | #monportlaser

When you’ve got a small workshop, it’s pretty common to have your machines on wheels. It makes it easy to move tools into position when you need them, and tuck them away when you don’t.

The downside though, is that most mobile bases use two swivel wheels and two fixed wheels. That means turning or moving them sideways often turns into a bit of a ‘20-point turn’… which isn’t ideal in a tight space.

I looked into buying an omnidirectional base, but even the cheaper options were pushing over $200 AUD. So I figured with a set of workbench casters, I should be able to build one myself for under $50?

Big thanks to Monport for sponsoring this project. Having the larger bed size made a huge difference. I could use full templates without needing to split the cuts.

There’s no commentary in this one, just time in the workshop, straight to the point. Most of it’s pretty self-explanatory, but if you’re interested in plans, let me know.

Thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one

I turned my dust collection system into a SMART SYSTEM | Automatic Blast Gates!

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2026-03-17 | I've loved the simple blast gate remote control system I developed last year for my workshop dust collection setup, however it's been nagging at me for some time that we have only been scratching the surface of what's possible.

So many of you have been asking about expanding the project, adding more gates, improving reliability, and more importantly adding some real smarts to the system so the gates and dust collector can operate automatically.

So for the past few months that's exactly what I've been doing. Asking the question “what if?” and going down a fairly deep rabbit hole of electronics, microcontrollers, wireless modules, and automation.

The result is a new version of the system that moves beyond simple remote control and starts laying the foundation for a fully automatic dust collection setup.

In this video I'll walk through the updated design, the new electronics, and how the system works.

This is still very much an evolving project, but what we now have is the basis of what could become a really robust automated dust collection system for the workshop.

As always, I'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for where the project should go next.

Going from Diode to CO2: Rebuilding My Laser Enclosure for the Monport Reno 65w Pro

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-11-20 | #monportlaser #monport #reno65wpro
@monportlaser

Thank you to Monport for sponsoring this video.

I get a lot of requests to review lasers, and most of the time my answer is a polite “no.”
Not because I don’t love lasers, I do. They’re one of the most useful tools in my shop, but let’s be honest… laser review videos are usually pretty boring.

So when Monport reached out and said, “Hey, want to try our largest desktop laser?”, I was ready to pass. But then I realised it was a CO₂ laser, not another diode, and suddenly my interest was piqued.

There are projects I’ve wanted to tackle for nearly a year, but couldn’t because my diode laser simply can’t cut certain materials. A CO₂ laser changes that completely, so I jumped at the chance to learn something new.

This series isn’t a review, it’s about what I discover moving from years of diode-laser use into the world of CO₂, the setup, the learning curve, and all that. All while working on a few projects that I know you guys have been asking me to revisit.

But before I can dig into any of that, I needed to rebuild my laser cart and enclosure, because the new machine simply doesn’t fit. This video covers that process: giving the Monport Reno 65 Pro a proper home and laying the groundwork for the projects to come.

A huge thanks to @VipunEnvisageDesigns for the help behind the scenes.

Go check out his channel and show some love to a fellow Aussie maker.

This is probably the last video for this year, so I want to thank everyone for their support, thanks for watching, and I'll see you again in 2026.

DIY Remote Blast Gates – The Update & FAQ | New Sizes, Power Options + Improvements

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-10-19 | Never has one of my projects gained as much interest and feedback as the DIY Remote Blast Gate Valves. So much so that I decided to make this follow-up video to serve both as an FAQ and as an update on new features, functionality, and (most importantly) new sizes now available.

The most common request I received was: “Please make a gate for my size system!”
Based on your feedback and further testing, I’m excited to release three new sizes in addition to the original 4" (100 mm) version:

New Sizes Available:
2.5" (61.5 mm, 63 mm, 63.5 mm)
5.0" (127 mm)
6.0" (153 mm)

The 4.0" model has also been updated with several design improvements and refinements.

I’ve also introduced AC-powered gates, so you’re no longer limited to running on batteries. Plus, there are new servo plates and servo arms to suit a wider range of motor types.

Work will almost certainly continue on this project, but for now, a huge thank-you to everyone who has supported and shared feedback along the way!

If you were one of the early adopters who purchased the original plans, please check your email. I’m sending out a free update coupon for the latest 4" files, as well as a 50% discount code for any of the new sizes.

Thank you all for the incredible support, it’s been amazing to see these valves in workshops all over the world! 🙌

DIY Remote Blast Gates for the workshop | No Soldering, No Coding, Beginner Friendly

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-09-22 | Over the last few months, I've been exploring solving a problem that I introduced when I last upgraded my dust collection system, specifically around my blast gates.

The existing laser cut ones work incredibly well, but take up a large footprint, whether they are open or closed, hindering access to tools and reducing accessible areas.

So I've been working on a ball valve design, that not only solves my gate profile issues, but is also remote controlled and best yet, this design requires NO soldering, NO wiring, and NO coding!

I also made versions that are manually controlled for those (and myself) that don't need a remote controlled blast gate at every location!

Let me know your thoughts, and suggestions, and again thanks for watching!

Fence-sational! I upgraded my router table with Jointer capabilities

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-08-10 | It’s been a long time coming, my router table setup has been long overdue for a serious upgrade. The “cheap and cheerful” router lift I’ve been using has served its purpose, but it’s finally on its last legs. While I was at it, I wanted more than just a standard fence upgrade, I set out to create something fully custom, fully adjustable, and versatile enough to even joint timber.

In this video, I take you through the process, first replacing the lift, designing the fence from scratch, 3D printing the components, and putting it all to the test.

This is the most ambitious shop project I’ve tackled yet, and the results have exceeded even my expectations.

SLED IT BE! - putting the DIY joinery sled to work

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-05-12 | In part one, I went through the process of how I designed and made my custom DIY joinery sled. As promised, in part 2, I'm taking it out for a spin, demonstrating some basic joins and setup tips I've learnt during testing.

The joinery sled has really been a bit of a passion project, I've loved and enjoyed the whole process, and it's definitely something I think I'll keep improving and developing for.

I big thank you to @dainermade who inspired and pushed me along with this one. Many of the features are a direct result of his input.

To all those that have already bought plans a big thank you!

If you're interested in the plans, please check out the website.

I couldnt buy one, so I made one instead - the DIY joinery sled

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-04-25 | We've all been there, scrolling through your news and social feeds, when an ad for what looks like a pretty interesting woodworking tool or product comes up. However, that joy is quickly overshadowed by the realisation that it's either not available where you live, is too expensive, or worse both!

I stumbled across the Woodpeckers Joinery Sled, and unfortunately it's not available here yet, and more over, is going to cost well over $600 for it.

So I did the only thing I could think of. Design and make my own!

After many hours in CAD, 3 trial builds and testing, I finally landed on version 2.0 which is proving to be everything I'd hoped for and more!

Featuring bevel adjustment, dovetail clamping, micro adjustments and a feature not even the red tool has, a digital DRO feature!

In this video, I cover building my prototype, some of the issues I ran into and challenges, as well as a few changes I made.

Schematics are available from my website if you're interested in building your own!

Be sure to check out part 2 where I take the sled out for a spin!

A completely boring, bog-standard floating shelf build - mini office update part 2.5

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-03-27 | Today's video is mostly a continuation from the last one, where I installed my new desk as part of my office makeover that I've been working on for some time. In this video, part 2.5, we use the left over desktop timber to make a couple of completely normal, bog-standard floating shelves.

I've only ever built one other floating shelf in the past, and it was a bit of a disaster. This time around, we use some proper hardware to create some actual functioning floating shelves.

Ok ok, I really get it now. Continuing the desk build.

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-03-04 | A few months ago, I kick-started my home office upgrade by building the first two of three cabinets I needed for the new desk. In this is the second video I'm finishing up the last cabinet, as well as tackle the bench top.

Along the way we picked up a new tool, the Bosch Track-saw and it's easy to say I'm a convert.

Who let the dogs out? The workbench upgrade that really pops

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2025-01-25 | The workbench is the heart of most shops, and mine has been with me since the very start. Starting life as a simple work table, it's since undergone a few minor upgrades and one major one.

But there is still room for improvement and in this video, I explore adding a few extra features, specifically some bench dog holes. These bench dogs have a twist, or shall I say a pop!

So come with me as I explore installing some bench dogs and ask the question, 'can they be 3D printed?'

The desk build that almost ended my workshop

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-12-20 | My favourite place in the world is my workshop, but where I spend most of my time is my home office. It’s where I work, play, edit, design, and so much more. For years, I’ve dreamed of redoing my office—not just to make it more functional (and better looking) but to build it all myself. Now, the time has finally come!

In this video, I’m kicking off the journey to upgrade my home office, starting with a custom desk. These first cabinet modules are just the beginning, laying the foundation for a full transformation.

This is the first video in a series, but it almost ended up being the last. During the build, I had a scary incident when some oil-soaked rags that caught fire. Thankfully, the damage was minimal, but it was a powerful reminder to never get complacent about safety.

As this will be my last video of 2024, thank you for watching, thanks for the support, and see you in 2025!

This has been a BOOM to the shop! Overhead dust collection solved

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-09-20 | I love my shop-vac, it goes everywhere in the shop I go, and it's probably the most used tool I have in the shop. The only issue is that it gets incredibly annoying to have to move it constantly around. It often gets in the way, and creates a tripping hazard as pipes and power cords lay across the shop.

Inspired by what I saw Eric @SpencleyDesignCo do in his shop, I thought I'd make my own boom arms with of course my own twist to it.

While simple in concept and relatively simple to build, this boom arms have been amazing!

If you're interested in building your own, I have my Sketchup file in the links below.

A DIY custom bartop arcade gaming machine

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-08-03 | In today's video, I rewind the clock 30 odd years to the golden age of the console where graphics were in the bits, and spending an afternoon with Mario began a lifelong love of all things gaming.

This video covers my DIY bartop gaming cabinet build, a really fun and challenging project almost anyone can attempt.

Welcome to today’s workshop build! 🎉 In this episode, I'm taking on the challenge of revitalising my pegboard storage system. While pegboards aren't the most popular choice in workshops due to their limited flexibility with attachments, I believe we can make some significant improvements. Can we solve these issues ourselves? Let's find out!

Unleash your table saws crosscut potential! DIY sliding crosscut table saw upgrade

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-05-23 | In the workshop, crosscutting larger panels that are more than 300mm wide has always been a challenge. My mitre saw is too small, the mitre gauge on the table saw isn't that much better, and my crosscut sled can't handle panels without modification or replacement. So what's the solution?

I was inspired by @MakeSomething to give making a sliding mitre panel accessory for my table saw a go. After a few teething issues, the end result allows me to cross-cut almost double what I was able to before.

Is this the ultimate table saw accessory? That's probably a stretch, but it has me thinking that I probably won't be replacing my mitre saw if the day comes it dies.

Big thank you to #vevordiyproject #vevor @vevor.official for providing the rails for this project.

This project was 100+ years in the making

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-04-19 | #CLUTTERCLEANOUT24

@dainermade Mark 'Dainsy' Dainer, first of his name, set this year's maker challenge to go out into your shop, and find items that were taking up space, and to make something of them.

I've not had my shop long enough to accumulate too much clutter, however I do have a pile of very special timber boards in my garage, that need to start finding new homes and new projects.

In this video I create something special for one of my sisters, and at the same time tell you a little about the history of my town, as well as the association my family has with this timber.

Do you think you know what timber this is? Let me know in the comments!

Thanks to mark for setting the challenge, and keep an eye out in the video for a very special 'best of Dainer Made'.

If you'd like to enter into the build challenge, go hit up Mark's YouTube channel.

Lets clear the air - Designing a DIY dust hood solution for my table saw

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-03-17 | In this video, I continue the adventures in dust collection by turning my attention to the table saw. When it comes to sawdust that's ejected in the air, the table saw is the worst offender in my shop.

While my table saw did come with a dust hood, it is, by all definitions, terrible, and I think we can certainly do better.

So over the last few weeks I've been tinkering away and have come up with this dust hood design which fits onto my existing riving knife.

It's a simple design, utilising only a few easy to source components:

6MM MDF
3MM PVC Clear Sheeting (you can opt for perspex or acrylic if you really want)
EVA Foam Sheet
M8 Furniture Bolts (optional, you can use just plain screws)
M5 Threaded inserts (optional if you don't plan on having a second screen)
M5/M8 star handle bolts / caps.

The final design works pretty well, there's probably a little room for improvement, but there is no longer any dust that will be flung into the air, which is a win in my books.

Keep an eye out for a special cameo.

Thanks for watching! Anthony.

PLANS:
If you'd like to build this yourself, or perhaps modify or enhance the design to suit your needs / table saw, then the link below has the Lightburn files, as well as template files for cutting out using a router.

DESCRIPTION:
For some time now, I've had issues with my dust collector performance. While my dust collector is over spec'd for my space, I've never really felt like I was getting optimal performance from it.

Upon closer investigation, I discovered a number of inefficiencies and problems. Inefficient ducting, too much flex hose, the wrong choice of fittings and more.

In this video, I attempt to fix those issues and at the same time introduce some 'modularity' to my setup.

Learn from my mistakes when setting up your workshop dust collection!

Building the ultimate mobile workbench laser enclosure

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2024-01-19 | Happy new year everyone!

It's a new year which means it's time to get back into the shop once again. At the end of last year I'd been having a lot of fun working with my AlgoLaser Delta Laser machine, and during that time it's been living on a temporary table in my workshop.

It's not ideal to have such a machine not protected and most importantly without any sort of ventilation system to channel those laser fumes outside.

So in today's video that's the next problem I'm tackling: building a mobile laser enclosure with air extraction!

This was a fun, challenging build that I think now looks great in the shop.

Discovering the world of lasers with the AlgoLaser Delta 22w

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-12-07 | #algolaser

Not long ago, I dived into the world of CNC as a complete newbie to learn what it takes to understand one of the internet's most controversial tools. Today we keep that theme running, as it's now time to discover CNC's twin sibling and delve into the world of LASERS!

So just how easy is it to get up to speed in the world of lasering? How long does it take from unboxing to cutting? Thanks to the folks over at AlgoLaser I got the chance to find out with the AlgoLaser Delta 22W!

Using this thing has been a blast and I can't wait to show you the other shop projects that are on the go featuring this new tool.

This part 1 of a 2 part series so stay tuned for another laser instalment.

Incorporating pattern plywood into a furniture build

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-11-30 | Like many families we own a lot of shoes. Well, I mean I own 2 pairs, my wife and daughter the other 20. The shoes have started to pile up around the Ikea shoe rack at the entrance and we need a place to put some of the seasonal footwear that we only wear occasionally.

I’ve been itching to experiment with pattern plywood in larger panels for some time and I thought this might be a great project to try it on.

Can pattern plywood look good in a furniture project? Let’s find out.

No commentary on this one, just pure wood working.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and as always thanks for watching!

DESCRIPTION:
In the last video I build a wood storage cart and semi-retired the temporary shelves to hold a few tools and other odds and ends. It's now time to permanently retire the shelves with something more useful.

While I want these to be permanent, I still want to have some flexibility if I wanted to change things around, or add new features. Thus I designed this module system that allows me to hopefully allow for any future possibilities!

I'm very happy with the results, and we'll see how it holds up over time.

A simple wood storage cart for the workshop

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-08-04 | We continue fitting out the workshop by building a wood storage cart to replace the temporary shelving I've had in place for the last year or so.

The old temporary shelves have been up for far too long and it's time to replace them with something more compact and purposeful.

The design for this one is inspired by Canadian woodworker Marie and you can find her build as well as plans for her version in her video description.

There are more shop builds coming so stay tuned and as always thanks for watching!

Building a wall clock out of nothing but plywood offcuts

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-07-17 | Recently Mark over at @dainermade set out the challenge to makers around the world to build something out of only (or predominately) offcuts.

I took this challenge to heart and scrounged up all the formply offcuts I'd accumulated over the past year from numerous projects and set out to build something unique.

I've never build a clock before, I've never used a CNC, never done wood kerf bending, and never tried more complex pattern plywood before, but we'll tackle all of that in one project.

No commentary on this one, just pure woodworking. Hope you enjoy and a big shout out to Mark for setting this fun and interesting challenge.

See you on the next one!

A basic DIY Formply desk that anyone can make

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-07-07 | In this video I continue my adventures in Formply furniture construction by building a simple desk for the young apprentice.

This project is very approachable even with basic tools and I think just about anyone can give this type of build a go.

I show you my process from start to finish including my mistakes (there were many) and how I fix them.

If you're interested in giving a project like this a go, I have measurements and guides in the link below completely free.

If you've ever thought about giving a project a go, now's the time to 'just start'.

I hope you enjoy, thanks for watching as always.

DESCRIPTION:
I use formply alot in my workshop builds, it's a wonderfully versatile material that has some unique properties that lend itself to being the perfect product for all sorts of workshop projects.

In the last video I completed the loft bed build, and following on from that I knew I'd be building a bookshelf to go under it. Originally it was planned to use hardwood, however once I calculated the quantity required, and price it would cost to acquire, then I knew an alternative solution was needed.

Thus I wondered if humble formply could be the solution. It's never occurred to me to see if you could incorporate what is essentially a construction material into furniture building. Can it be done, or more importantly can it look good?

Well I did do it, and you be the judge on whether you like it or not.

Simple height adjustable and portal outfeed table for the workshop - Workshop Build #9

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-03-09 | In this video I tackle my lack of an outfeed table on my table saw and planer. Because of the height differences, some sort of portable and height adjustable solution is required.

Using just scraps and a few bolts from the local big box, I came up with this, the MK1. There is plenty of room for improvement, but I think this is not a bad first attempt.

Have any suggestions for any future versions? Let me know in the comments!

Building a contemporary, ladder inspired bookshelf

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-02-06 | Every wood worker knows that thought that goes through their head every time they step into a furniture store..... 'yeah I recon I could make that'.

In this video I attempt to replicate a ladder inspired shelf I saw in a popular Australian brand name furniture store for a fraction of the price. As long as you don't include all the tools.....

This was a hugely fun build that I got to share with my daughter. Enjoy!

Complete upgrade of my mobile assembly-workbench table - Workshop Build #8

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2023-01-22 | It's a new year, but plenty of workshop builds still needing to be done! In this video I tackle upgrading my workbench/assembly table that I made 18 months ago.

When I originally built this table, I had always planned to upgrade it, but never got around to doing it. Well it's now time to change that.

This one was a fun project, added many new features and storage components and I'm thrilled with the end result.

As always thanks for watching and see you on the next one.

Making pattern plywood coasters to give away as gifts

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2022-12-26 | With the holiday season on us I found a useful way to make for all those off cut strips of plywood I've managed to accumulate over the last few years, and at the same time come up with a nifty holiday gift idea.

I've never made pattern plywood before, but I'm keen to give it a go and this seems like the perfect project to try my hand at it.

Let me know your thoughts and suggestions if you've ever made pattern ply before!

Thanks for watching.

Pegboard storage solution with sliding pegboard door - Workshop Build #7

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2022-12-19 | The last of the major builds for this corner of the workshop. It's been a journey to get to this point, but it's now time to replace the temporary pegboard I put up behind the mitre-saw station when I first moved into the workshop.

This project was alot of fun, many mistakes made, but the overall result I'm very pleased with.

Looking forward to moving onto the other spaces in the shop.

As always thanks for watching.

Upgrading my cordless tool storage station - Workshop Build #6

Barbers Paddock Woodworking 2022-12-04 | The last couple of months have seen a few extra tools added to the collection and the old recycled tool station no longer can store them all.

So today we continue working on the workshop fit-out with an upgrade to the cordless tool storage station.

This project represents just another step closer to completing my dream workshop.

Thanks for watching.
