I'm the opposite. I only build my own designs.
I really liked building that fan because every part was from what I had in the shop at the time. The only thing I bought at a store was the fan I chopped up for the motor, blade and control knob.
Except I swiped the bicycle cables from one of my dad's bicycles, then later I got new ones and put them on the bike.
He'll never know. He lives 3 states away.
Two states if you take 57 to 24
i got a Craftsman mitre saw, for like under $200 close out sale years ago, no fuss, no muss making shit for it......
i think i use it like 3 times a year, and that's a very busy year for me......
along with the Craftsman table saw, circular saw, jig saw, and leaf blower........
i don't like to wear out my shit.
they are all in my WILL to go to my heirs......who will most likely sell them at the flea market.......the bastards.

This is going to be the filter box for my shop's air filtration system. It'll hold five 20"x20"x1" furnace filters and a 6 inch duct is gonna come out the top. Depending on how heavy it is, I might use PVC instead of a sheet metal duct.
After I remove all those clamps, I oughta put it on the floor so there's a less complicated background, take a picture and photoshop it to look like M.C. Escher built it, and post it on the woodworking forum and say I need help, can't figure out what went wrong.

There are people who admit to knowing you, or did you select random names from the phone book?

pvc might be easier to clean, not too many nooks and crannies and folded metal to catch dust and stay there.
i could use an air filtration system for my gun cleaning room, as very often, i use Kroil to clean the guns, then there are lead/copper/carbon, removal chemicals as well.

Just wondering if you have enough clamps?

It ain't gonna filter out chemical fumes.
Just sawdust. The really fine stuff that comes off the belt sander, and currently my table saw because it's blade is apparently dull even though it looks sharp to me.
In the daytime when the sunlight is coming in through the window, I can see airborne dust particles for a few minutes after I run either machine, or use the blow gun.
Surprisingly no.
I have ten of the big spring clamps, ten medium ones, and ten little dinker size clamps. They're all under $2 at Harbor Freight.
I have six of the 2" c-clamps, six 3", four 4".
And I have like a dozen bar clamps.
This air filter box is taking forever to build because I don't have enough clamps, and it takes 30 minutes for the glue to set. It's Titebond III.

On a car, probably. I just replaced the cord on my Dewalt hand drill. I bought the daggone thing at a garage sale in 2001, and I've put MEGA hard use on it. Hours and hours of running wire wheels with it and it still works just fine. Literally the best power tool I've ever owned, as far as longevity goes.
But, it was made at least 22 years ago. It looked old and beat up when I bought it.
They could have moved production to China by now, I don't know. I would definitely research that before I'd buy anything else Dewalt.
I mean, I'll buy Chinese crap, but only cheap stuff I don't expect to last.
If I'm paying for Dewalt, it better be made in USA or at least a friendly country full of reasonably intelligent workers like Canada, Germany, Austria or Japan.
If you're looking for something to change tires on a big truck, ask @ECv2 because he used to take the wheels off his old Ford at least once a day.

Milwaukee makes a 1" battery impact that has a 400 pd ft torque value. The guys at the tire shop use them all the time. Damn strong boogers! It breaks the lugs loose easily that are torqued to 500 pd ft.
dimwit...all basements, all barns, all work sheds, have fucking dust, shit, there's fucking dust in the air...every fucving day, it's even in YOUR house, thanks to that ragamuffin yipper you got.
i got dust like you and every fucking body else has...i'd like to vent it out along with the chemical fumes.
i just need more airflow than what i am able to get now, and a filtration system can serve, maybe 3 purposes, maybe better than a Walmart special $19.99 fan will do.
1) filter the air
2) move the air, and be rid of the fumes
3) heat up my raviolis
