Re: Felder-grade wooden joint
Is there a reason why you can¡¯t build in a compression arm ie a triangle? That should easily solve your problem. ?

Torsion box ¡°laying¡± on it.
Pic of cross section attached for context... it¡¯s a platform with a ¡°bolt¡± assembly that allows me to leave the platform ¡°locked¡± on the upper floor not suspended from the hoist.
The bolts actually articulate with a special ¡°key¡± lever inserted from the top of the platform - so to drop it you have to find the key to the control box for the hoist, hoist to release tension, and then use the keyed lever to retract the bolts.
Then you can lower the hoist to the ground.
The platform is... stout. ?I suspended it by the bolts and then jumped up and down in the middle... with just screws it held fine, then it got glued and screwed more.
So the load is... shear/angle? ?Mostly shear I¡¯d guess from the strength of the torsion box, but it¡¯s more ¡°long¡± strong than ¡°narrow¡± strong so I suspect more load in the middle of the arm.
I¡¯ve also considered weaving a cable ¡°through¡± the platform - I could start at 24¡± out and with a 7¡± rise - get a nice gusset with a hidden cable. ?But it means the lift arms are tied to the platform - less cool and harder to work on later.
The arms hang from the unistrut and there¡¯s a 1 ton lift above.
If I just need to spring for 80/20 or find a welder... I guess I will. ?But ships and huge stuff has been made of just wood - this doesn¡¯t seem too nuts.
I mean it¡¯s an elevator in my shop, it¡¯s a little nuts, but not like, excessive.

Good evening,

I need to make a 90 degree joint, approx 3¡±x3¡± timbers of whatever I please.
I intend the ¡°leg¡± to extend 30-36¡±, and anticipate 250-350 lbs static load at the 16¡± point-ish.
I was thinking of 1/2¡± plies Bridled, and would consider going to 1/4¡± to get more glueing surface of it seems like it is needed.

Should I quit being silly and just sandwich a 1/4¡± steel L in there running 12¡± each way?

You continue to be a great resource!? Thanks for the referral to Mitutoyo caliper.? Without your guidance I would have jumped on my old trusty e-bay and bought one.? Of course, I most likely would have gotten a chinese clone.

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
2400 sq ft shop say average 10 ft ceiling for Easy math is 24,000 cu ft. 1200 cfm dust collect would send 24,000 cu ft out in 20 min. Bringing in 110F air and cooling it is tough.?

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
I wasted a lot of time planning how to deal with DC noise when I was putting my shop together. I live in snow country and a heated shop is the priority. Come to find out I did waste a lot of time thinking about it, as I cant hear my DC running because the machines are louder and I get some heat off the DC and it circulates the shop air heat from the wood stove. All worked out fine. Glen

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
My closet cut about 10dB.? ?There is huge difference between 76 and 86 dB of course, and if you want to work without ear protection, a closet will will?get?you there.? Not silent by any stretch, but comfortable.
Yes on the STC specs.? I¡¯m not worried about the frequencies below 125hz, at least to my ears they are 1Khz and higher.? The collector is supposed to
be only 86db but I find it annoying.?
?
Maybe I¡¯ll hold off for a while, still need to install the duct work.

Anyone have advice on holding two pieces of Nordfab and snapping the clamp on? Seems like a two person job?

Acoustic engineers sometimes cite water as a metaphor for sound to make the point that is leaks through the smallest and most permeable points.? An elaborate wall assembly can be rendered nearly useless by small details, like door seals,
wall-to-ceiling joints, ceiling transmission pathways, etc.? If you want to get more thorough i your research than just the STC ratings of walls, there's tons of discussions on home recording studio forums.??
Also note that sound mitigation methods are?highly sensitive to frequency.? The STC rating is for speech frequencies.? As it says on the STC website you mention:
"The STC rating is based on performance with frequencies from 125 to 4000 Hertz (the speech frequencies).
The rating provides no evaluation of the barrier's ability to block low frequency noise, such as the bass in music or the noise of some mechanical equipment"??
I originally put my cyclone in a cabinet somewhat like what you describe -- double drywall, green glues, etc.? After a move, I delayed re-building it and ultimately never got around to it.? The benefits didn't seem worth the effort.? I
only use the cyclone when machines are running, and most machines are louder than the cyclone, and silencing the cyclone is pointless in this situation.?
?
I¡¯m managing a remodel project just now where I¡¯ve specified the?KINETICS?IsoMax system between bedrooms, media room, ceilings, etc. ? This is basically putting the equivalent of a metal stud horizontally over the wood studded wall, and
the horizontal metal drywall hanger is itself attached to the stud with a rubber-isolating clip. ? I wonder how this will compare to your alternatives. ? ??
?

?
Hi all, the journey of building out the new shop continues.? I am now planning a closet to house the cyclone dust collector.? Being an engineer, I have to research everything.? I found a fantastic website with data on different wall construction and the
STC (sound transmission coeff) for each.
I had been planning to do 2x6 plates and staggered 2x4 studs.? From the data at the site I was surprised at a couple of things.? First, steel studs are meaningfully better the wood studs.? Second if building two walls, having drywall only on the two exterior
sides is better than having drywall sides of the studs facing inside the double wall.??
I have decided to do double steel stud walls with 2 1/2" steel studs.? I think I want 20 gauge and not the cheaper 25 gauge. any input on that?
I will install 5/8" drywall inside, a layer of green glue, and a second layer of 5/8" drywall over that and then 5/8" drywall outside. If not quiet enough I will install green glue and a second layer of 5/8" drywall outside.
I need a door to access the drum and a door to access the filters.? I am fairly certain I will do some sort of stress skin construction for the doors.
Any suggestions on how to get the dust inlet sealed to the sound proof wall?? I am doing a folded duct with 5X the cross sectional area of the exhaust port for flow the air conditioned air back into the room.

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
If you're lucky enough to live where you can exhaust outdoors, that's the ultimate "silencer".? It's also improves flow and eliminates filters.? ?
Mine exhausts thru?roof, pointed about 30¡ã from horizontal away from my close neighbor.? You might be surprised at how tolerable the noise is.? None of my neighbors have ever even commented on it.? It's a very low-pitched sound and when blowing into open air dissipates very fast, unlike when blowing into a shop where it reverberates around.??

Re: Building a closet for dust collector
Line the exhaust baffles with sound deadening foam and it will really cut down the noise transmission. Did that on a air handler that was in a closet close to a living room and the difference was amazing.
